It be right. It has happened before. ,While the Waterloo arena might rot be as big or pretentious as the one in Kitchener, still there is litâ€" tie reason why a carnival could not be held here. The same holds true for the area behind the marâ€" ket building. Certainly the parkâ€" ing lot there would be put to good At the gresent time a local serâ€" vice club has been offered the serâ€" vices of a carnival so they may raise money to help local people. They point out that there are lots of sites in Waterloo where a carâ€" hival could be ideally located, but they have been unable to get a satisfactory answer as to how and where they may locate. 0; _ J.H.S. ,Why is it that Waterloo seldom if ever has a Carnival here?

Diverse number of opinions finâ€" ally resulted in the store hours beâ€" ing left as they age, with the inâ€" dividual merchants staying open extra hours if they felt like it. Store hours, and the changing of them made for a lot of discusâ€" sion and argument at the meeting of the Retail Section of the Waâ€" terloo Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday night of this week Waterlo Merchants are being requested to decorate their stores during the Centennial celebration to be held in this city. Most of the merchants seem to be in agreement with the idea J.HS Frankly we think that if the time ever comes when a plan is worked out that will meet the apâ€" proval of all the merchants, then it will come from a loca} man, who knows more than can be gained from cJ-sunsl conversation. ns The taking of surveys and the indicating of trends by outside firms is all very well. However, they know little of the local picâ€" ture or what is behind a great deal of it, and take for granted the picture they obtain from the surface. Actually while the survef' would rrobably show a great deal, it would not indicate much more than what is generally . known. There is also the fact that despite the cost, it probably would not be acted upon anyway, by the large majority of merchants. The retail division of the Waâ€" terioo Chamber of Commerce are to be commended on their turn down of a proposed business surâ€" vey by a Toronto firm. The Liberal margin pf victory was much lower than in 1949 when Louis Breithaupt, who reâ€" signed to become heutenam»‘fov- ernor of Ontario, polled 17,735 votes, 3.345 more than the comâ€" bined total of his Progressive (Conservative and C.C.F. opponâ€" ents. "The people of Waterloo North pave spoken," she told her supâ€" porters, "and I am pleased to abide by their decision in the free and democratic manner customâ€" ary to this country. . .8 "I look forward with confidence to the next general election and I bespeak the continued enthusiasâ€" tic support on our party‘s behalf. I predict another election in 18 months and we‘ll be victorious." Beaming despite the defeat she said it was a real achievement to have reduced the Liberal majority of over 10,000 to around 1,580. Earlier in the night, Miss Janâ€" zen at her committee rooms said she was "really encouraged by the substantial gains our party has made." The attractive PC candidate paid a brief visit to the Liberal headquarters to congratulate the victor. Smiling as though she were the winner, she extended best wishes to the new MP. . At his Queen St. Nerth comâ€" mitttee rooms, prior to a victory parade, band and all, Mr. Schneiâ€" der said he was "very satisfied with the results". ever‘ used "some very misleading phrases", he said. _ . * In the eyes of most observers the size of the vote reflected the intensive campaign, one of the most spirited in Waterloo North in recent years. Miss Janzen, the first woman to try for a a provincial or federal seat from this riding, was generâ€" ally credited with making a good Mr. Schroeder, staff representaâ€" tive of the United Packinghouse Workers of America (CIO) conâ€" ceded victory early to Mr. Schneiâ€" der. Miss Janzen conceded Mr. Schneider‘s election at 9.40 p.m.â€" two hours and 40 minutes after the polls closed â€" after refusing carlier to give up hope that late returns would reserve the trend. With byâ€"elections traditionally receiving a poor response from the electorate, the size of Monday‘s balloting was a feature. Out of 49,281 eligible, 27.956 or 56.72 per cent went to the polls compared with the 39 ger cent in the 1940 byâ€"election. By compaâ€" rison, the 1945 general election drew 64.5 per cent and the 1949 vote 69. , Mr. Schneiders margin over Miss Janzen was 1,580. Totals were Schneider, 12,440; Janzen, 10,860; Schroeder (CCF), 4,656. Schneider Retains Seat for Liberals; Miss Janzen Predicts{|New Election In 18 Months With P.C.‘s Victorious :ot-nn C.
