Council‘s attitude evidently is that no matter how good a man is, he can be repiaced with an outâ€" sider. This ; not ttrue. and it would seem y poor taste for council to 'mhelr electionâ€" eering through other persons‘ salâ€" when it is considered that most council members have at some time or another had business training. When a private enterprise has men they can rely on, they do everything possible to see these men remain on their jobs. They whole procedure is the lack of foresight by some of these counâ€" cil members. None of them would work for the salary they are paying these two men, yet they expect both Bricker and Schaefer to continue on doing a wodmandnmdnm'gloyalto aterloo, even though they are getting about the same salary as are the men sweeping the streets. The whole situation is ridicuâ€" lous, and is made even more so Upshot of the whole thing was that all salary increases were voted down and the pittance of $150 agreed upon. . The amazing thing about this during the rush hours. There is actually no need for »Council to go out and buy anâ€" other stop light either. Right at the present time there is a g:r- fectly 1ood stop light on Albert St., which has never served any useful purpose but was placed there to save someone‘s face. enough money to live on. â€" Al,.

Several Waterise parents have uebd-“:l% hn the plecement wi t of a t in the vici of thouiirelitht ‘t ie en matd they were one hundred percent for the idea.

This same light placed while the traffic is bad enough, it is nothing like that on King street One person, who incidentally did not have any children, asked why we thought it necessary to place a light near the Central School when other schools did not have them. If he had ever tried to cross the street in front of this school either at the noon hour or at five o‘clock, we are sure he would not have asked such a question. _ Most other public schools are young to look after themselves on the streets, were let out of school at 11.30 and again at 3.30. At this time the school fi:uol boys were still in class, so the small children were strictly on their own if they wanted to cross the street to get several different occasions he has observed teachers at this school getting off the bus and walking across to the school without payâ€" ing any attention to small chilâ€" dren standing on the curb and waiting to cross the street. there was someone to help her across and was to turn around and come home before crossing the street herself.

Many local mothers have taken advantage of this service and they are loud in their praises for teh service and for the type of personnel who are responsible for the babies while the mothers are shopping. Incidentally here is another set of stop lights that could easiiy be moved an installed where they would be of some real use. Those on the corner of King and John Sts., are about as necessary as two tails on a dog. Don‘t believe we have seen six people vfi;a.lk across here in all the hundreds if not thousands of times we have been through these lights. Cerâ€" tainly there are dozens of other places in Waterloo where they are needed worse. At the present time they can still be got through, but it reâ€" quires a speed of pretty close to fifty miles per hour to do it. It‘s being done too. â€" _ no real reason for considering them if the rest have to suffer for their convenience." One Waterioo merchant said toâ€" day that the day parking meters are installed in Waterloo, he would move out so fast it would make council‘s head swim. That seems to be the opinion of most of the other merchants too. ' . JH.S. ~ Was told today by a top flight electrician tha\hthere is no need for the stop lights at the corners' of King and William and King and John Streets to be so badly: out of timing.

One rather well known Waterâ€" loo man sugfiested, that we return to angle parking, when and if we ever do arrive at the stage where we have an acute parking probâ€" lem. He points out that the only people who would be incofveniâ€" enced by the angle parking would be the P.U.C. buses and "there is Parking lots in Waterloo were almost empty, so practically all cars that were parked in the city were out on the streets where they could be seen. a few feet of the store we wanted to go in. _ â€" After months of Bhnninx and "scrounging around," (see Don McLaren‘s Recreation Notes) the Waterioo Players last Friday and Saturday gave 3 good performance of "A Midsummer Night‘s Dream‘.

T. Lehmann, president. Many Countries Represented At Waterloo College Alumni The play, an adaptation by Mr. Enns, kept to the original plot. Many of the lengthy speeches were cut and a prologue was inâ€" troduced. Starting with only half the cast, the play had to rely on faithfuis who showed up at every rehearsal and doubled up on parts. Even with this, great effort was needed on the part of everyâ€" one concerned to present the play on the date set. Don McLaren, Waterloo Recreâ€" ation Director, expressed his apâ€" preciation on behaif of the Waâ€" terloo Rectreation Commission, sponsors of the Waterloo Players. The audience saw two quickâ€" change artists in the form of Pat Close and Marilyn Pride. These girls dashed off stage several times durini the performance, wearing one kind of costume and reâ€"appeared almost immediately as an entirely different character. The Waterloo Players took a step in the right direction when they organized their junior group, and produced Shakes?eare's "A Midsummer Night‘s Dream" which they firesented at the Waâ€" terloo City Hall Friday and Satâ€" urday nights under the direction of Henry Enns. The children, ranging in age from eleven to sixâ€" teen, did a heartâ€"warming job.
