On top of this, 1,966 ybuths and 1,564 aduits took part in one way or another. The total number taking part was 48,179. What do you think of that?

The down / to clathcs an jury ne c to scrape i réck or {â€" strears an ligs wETe At Munday night‘s meeting of the Waterioo council there was a dtlegation of nearly 75 interested persons in attendance. They left council in no doubt as to how they felt about the attempts of some counc:! members to ride through the dismembering of the Waterloo Recreation _ Commussion Their only regret was that Ald. Ewald was not in attendance Wauterlou civic officilals have Jong ceen guilty of refusing to alâ€" low enough muney to be spent to keep good men on some of our c1vic projects. The same could be said of the projects themselves, that in many cases there was not enouga muney allowed them to go ahead us they might have done if they rad had the proper support.

Frankly we wou‘ld like to know just why the Recreation Commuisâ€" sion was picked on as a way to save money when there are sevâ€" eral ether methods by which a saving could be achieved without hurting the city. Ald. Ewald, une of the leading exponents of abuolishing the Reâ€" creation Commission must surely remember his own boyhood. The fact trat there was no Commisâ€" siun steering recreation at that ume was because of the times.
