N m * All® Vol. 91, No. The Bad truck crash at the corâ€" ner of Alexandra and Charles Sts., lest Friday during the noonâ€"hour, was not another example of purely careless driving, but just an inâ€" stance of what can happen when cf an. intersection to warn drivers| ufwlfitmexmexpecndwdq | The accident involved a udn‘ Ford truck, driven by Gordon Braâ€" by, 15 Van Camp Ave.. Kitchener, and owned by the Robb Construcâ€" tion Co., and a twoâ€"ton truck owned by Burkhardt‘s Dairy and driven by Ed. Cressman of 119 Alexandra Ave. Mr. Cressman was in his way home for dinner when Lis vehicle was hit and knocked over on its side by the Robb truck. While the larger yehicle was tipped over on its side and was left lying on the boulevamt:e driver was not injured, and ed away from his vehicle. Gordon Braby, the driver of the light truck reâ€" ceived a severe ear ini\l.\ry. and also suffered from shock. He was taken to the Kâ€"W Hospital where his conâ€" dition was reported as s_au.dacgory.‘ This acident could have been much worse than it was if the veâ€" hicles involved had been travelling at a higher rate of speed. Actually this is one of the most dangerous intersections in Waterloo, and one uf the most heavily travelled. . . but there isn‘t even a caution sign on either corner. _ _ _ __ Talking to Police Chief Moreau, we learn that some signs have been otdered a long way back, but have never been received. However, cven if they had been obtained, there are none allocated to this parâ€" ticular intersection, despite the fact that it is in the immediate vicinity uf Alexandra School. _ o Chief Moreau pointed out that it couldn‘t be expected a stop sign would be erected at every interâ€" section where an accident ocâ€" curred. This is only logical; but Charles Street is a speedway, not only an ordinalg street, and man{ drivers come off Enb St., and pici up speed all the way down Charles St., until they pass Alexandra Ave. ... even an old car will travel down hill at a considerable clip. We lear::l from Chief Moreau that t lan to put a stop sign at the%‘ner of Charles and Wifirilam Sts., Charles and John Sts., and Charles and Glasgow St. At presâ€" ent there is one old Caution sign on the corner of William and Charles Sts., and it couldn‘t be read if at a distance of much more than a foot. The Chief also throught it would be a good idea if a Danger sign was placed at the corner of Charles and Alexandra Sts. _ Actually, of all the intersections, there is none that need a sign less than the corner of William and Charles Sts., and none of them need ene more than the corner of Alexâ€" under and Charles, for there are dozens of cars a day that pass the Alexandra intersection at speeds in excess of 50 m.ph. These same driâ€" vers drop close to the legal speed limit after passing this intersection. The Chief said that it was the intertion of those planning the placing of stop signs to leave Charles Street as free of stop signs +s possible, as a great many from the surounding industries, live in this section. He also pointed out that it was the quickest way to get to Kitchener if a driver wished to wvoid the traffic congestion of King St This idea has some merit, but it is the opinion of those who have watched the traffic at the Charles St. intersection that it would be far cheaper and a lot less painful for drivers to wear a little rubber off their tires ston'mg at this corâ€" ner, than it would be to have the responsibility for the death of some child Watch this paper next week, those of you who intend entering your babies in the Personality Conâ€" test, to be held at the Cityhood Celebration. _ _ â€" wfic‘)'s.t“'(;r{he little tots have such a pleasing ‘fersonality that this conâ€" test should be one of the major events of the celebration.

Despite the fact that this year the purchase and use of sk?' rockets were banned; the kids still managed to put on quite a display, and seemed in no way sorry or put out that they could not use their favorite firecracker. What with the youngsters stayâ€" ing out of serious trouble on the 24th and aiso on Hallowe‘en some of the older persons are beflnn‘mc to wonder what the world is comâ€" ing to . . . even if they do approve.
