A Kitchener driver who does a fair amount of his shopping in Waterloo wants to know why we get after the police of other cenâ€" tres (Hespeler) when our own policemen, or at least some of them, need jacking up so far as their dealings with the general public are concerned. . _ Seems that last week one day he was in Waterloo and while his wife was doing some shopping he parked down at the east end of brb street, just about in front of the Chronicle office. . There is definitely no sign at this point that says you cannot paik hbere or that it is supposed to be a bus stop or anything else. Drivers park here daily and any of the cops who stop to think about the thing at ail are wise enough to walk around these cars and leave them alone. However, our Kitchener friend had hardsy s.opped his car when one of the Waterloo police officers walked over, wavedhis arm and wanted to know "what the hell he was parking there for." _ In the first p.ace, if you are sitting in your car it does not _onâ€" stitute parking.

The Serambled Names contest is breaking all expected records in the way of entries. Letiets from Waterloo, Waillenstein, Elâ€" inira, Baden and aimost all the surrounding communities as weli as Kitchener are pouring in eaihn week, and the judges are finding it more difficult every week to pick out the winning entries.

ONLY 2e APART NOW MAYOR HINTS TOBACCO CHEWING GOOD FOR TEETH ‘HAVE ANOTHER CHAW KITCHENERR. â€" Despite the afet oldâ€"time tobacco shewing may be frowned on socially, there may be some truth to the belief that "plug chewers" derived some detntal benefits from their efforts. The Children‘s Protection Act provides that children under 16 shal not be out after 9 p.m. unless accompanied by a parent or guardian. The move to enforce the provision i§ in no sense a drive but merely a part of the continuing effort to curb juvenile delinquency at the source, the chief said. mittee stuck to its 10â€"cent offer. The civic workers oriâ€" g‘i)nally sought an increase of cents. John Rutherford, spokesâ€" man for the union, also asked that the city assume the full cost of group insurance inâ€" stead of the workers paying 50 per cent. Mr. Rutherford, referring to Kitchener granting a 12â€" centâ€"anâ€"hour increase, said it cost as much to live in Waâ€" terloo as it does in Kitchener. Ald. Frank Bauer, chairâ€" man of the board of works, said he was definitely opâ€" posed to the city absorbing the entire cost. He added that a 10â€"cent boost was a fair inâ€" crease. At the close of the mgetâ€" ing, however, Mr. Rutherford said consideration would be given by members to the 10â€" cent offer. Kitchener‘s basic rate is now $1.02 an hour. A 10â€"cent increase to Waterloo workers would boost the basic rate to $1 an hour. Township Chief Backs Actions Of Officers Waterioo Township Police Chief Hilbert Schedewitz backed the action of his officers at the scene of the threeâ€"vehicle mishap near Chicopee Sunday night.

Trained In First Aid Chief Schedewitz pointed ou the officers are also trained in first aid and in the case of the injured man, the constables knew he had received a severe leg fracâ€" ture and that an ambulance was responding. Under the circumâ€" stances they felt it best to wait arâ€" rival of the ambulance. Two other spectators trained in first aid concurred in the officer‘s view, Chief Schedewitz said that while officers did not doubt the: ability of the men who attempted! first aid there was no way ol‘ knowing how proficient any volâ€" unteer ‘helpers might be. ‘ The estimates committee of Waterloo Council worked until 11 o‘clock Monday night delving into more figures and budgets but caled an abrupt halt at 11 p.m. Stil a few GETS TWO YEARS FOR $2.25 HOLDUP "Taking Chanee" In such cases the officers would te taking a chance unless they knew the man as an experienced first aid worker or some credenâ€" tials were offered.

He estimated the mayor puts in an average of four hours a day on city adminiâ€" stration. Mayor Vernon Bauman opposed a move toincrease his own salary from $1,000 to $1,200 during an est‘mates ses. ion meeting last Friday night. Lose Much Time Mayor Bauman pointed out it wasn‘t so much the work involved as the time lost in operating a business. He said this was not the year to increase council salâ€" aries in view of the mounting exâ€" penditures. .

Mr. Given felt the $200 increase as proposed by the office commitâ€" tee was not sufficient He mainâ€" tained more should be allowed for responsible positions. h If the city had to hire new hellg to fill certain positions he fe sure higher salaries than are at present being paid would be deâ€" manded. Mr. Fraser also asked for a car allowance of $300 a year. He said his car was used by various City Hall departments. He also asked the mileage rate for Cy Bricker, assessor, be increased from six to seven cents. Not Getting Minimum Mr. Oke told the committee that neither he nor his assistant, Mr. Gray, were receiving the minimum salary rates as set by the Association of Professional ineers. &‘lie added that his car allowâ€" ance last year was not neerly enough to pav for the cost of operation on city business..
