A little intelliâ€" gent planing and the spending of money in the proper places would soon place a truck route at the disposal of both cities. It would then be up to the police to see the . truckers used these routes and not *the residential and main streets. The truck problem is becoming more and more acute. It‘s time there was something done about it. Less talk and more construcâ€" tive construction. i . JH.S. So far we have not received one complaint regarding the starling shoots this year. 0_ â€" Some of the local car dealers have been telling us this week +that business is picking up again. They explain it by guessing that a prospective customer who did not have sufficient cash for a down payment a few months ago, have now saved the difference. While this sounds logical, we would like to meet one of these customers who have managed it. Frankly we cannot see how anyâ€" one can save very much in this day and age. We put two dollars in the bank and someone else takes twoâ€"fifty out. You can‘t save money that way. J.MS. It has ben brought to our attenâ€" tion that some small children in Waterloo are making a game of throwing stones at cars as they ere passing. One driver was saved possible serious injury on Tuesday noon only because his passenger‘s head Founced off, but he is also apt to shake everythin?l else on the car loose, including himself. There is Mctually no excuse for a crossing of this type being in the condiâ€" tion it is. If the railway won‘t recognize their obligation to the driving public then the council should bring it to their attention and see something is done about it. Despite the poor condition of the Waterloo crossing, it still can‘t hold a candle to the main crossâ€" ing in Kitchener, Here a car driâ€" ver hitting the crossing at thirty miles per hour is not onlg apt to have the wheels of his car Driving through some of the back streets in Kitchener the other night we were amazed at the thousands of starlings clusterâ€" ing in the trees and even hanging from the vines growing to some of the manufacturing plants. Could it be that these pests have recognized the danger of roosting n Waterloo, but have found they fl"e perfectly safe in Kitchener? JH.S. The railway tracks spanning the main street in Waterloo are again getting prelgr lumpy. A car driving at any spe: g'i‘cl take quite a beating on these triicks. While we recognize council‘s reâ€" luctance to try and force the railâ€" road to do anything to improve the condition of the tracks, we can‘t understand it. After all the street doesn‘t belong to the railâ€" way, and if they want the priviâ€" lege of shunting their cars across it, the least they should be made to do is keep the crossing in top shape. _ s Each year it seems to take a little less shooting to drive the birds out of the city. Each year they disapear from sections where they have formerly been plentiful. Many Waterloo residents have told us that the starlings have disâ€" appeared from their neighborhood and haven‘t returned. It is too bad this condition exists, but just so kxnf as large transport vehicles are allowed the freedom of every street in the city, then traffic conditions will go right along with them. _ This unfortunately is no differâ€" ent than halfâ€"aâ€"dozen other streets in this city, but the police can only be in so many places in a given time. _ _ _ 8 ing on Waterloo street attended/ council meeting this week. They claimed that large trucks, tax:} cabs and some private vehicles| were making a speedway out 011 this street. â€" e on a more or less trial basis, it would be better to let it remain as is until such time as it was proâ€" ven the office was benefitting the city through the operations of the Chamber of Commerce. With the exception of these two aldermen, the rest of the council felt privacy was needed by memâ€" bers of the Chamber using the office. Council members also felt the Chamber was doing a good job for the city. Borsje disagreed with the rauefl for a private office.

Th mkuln chap was hit near the in of Dawsén and Avondale Sts. Parents in this area might do well to keep an eye on their small offâ€" .E”n' and make sure the stone throwing is stopped. If it conâ€" tinues, some driver is going to pile up his car and the stome throwers could be under it.
