* . Around Waterloo We‘ll pass a little tip on to those operating small electric moâ€" tors to drive hobby saws or other home machinery. These motors will not be changed over by Hyâ€" &ro unless they are wired in the approved fashion, in other words with three wires. The fact that Such a loss of business is tough on the small store or business owner. What happens now? Does the city subsidize the storekeepâ€" ers‘ loss the same as the governâ€" ment does the farmers? ~ J.H.S. Conversion of Waterloo to 60 cycle power started on Tuesday of this week. This changeover is a terrific undertaking and considâ€" erable patience will have to be exercised by some before it is completed So much excavating and the like has been done on both ends of this street that some of these merchants claim they might as well shut up their stores until the job is done. Incidentally, these boys are now becoming very proficient pistol shots and would be a deâ€" cided asset in a scrap involving gunfire. â€" JM.S. *Merchants on Erb W., and Erb E., have suffered considerable loss of business because of the numerâ€" ous interruptions in traffic carryâ€" ing customers. These guns are shortâ€"barelled, qpen bore,. repeating shotguns and will spray a considerable area with coarse shot. The fact that the local force has these guns should act as a definite deterrant to anyone planing a holdup or the like in Waterloo. JH.S. Waterloo police will be issued with a couple of riot guns. These close range weapons should take care of almost any emergency the police are called on to face, unless of course the person on whom these guns are used is back of a highâ€"powered rifie. â€" Baseball is a big drawing card ih Waterloo and in sponsoring the night, the merchants feel they are throwing some honor in the direcâ€" tion of the baseball players reâ€" sponsible for making the game so popular here. _ _ When tests were made last week, they were taken at the outâ€" let of these plants. This does not give a completely true picture. How about the diffusion in polluâ€" tion even the width of the stream away from the outlet. JHS. Waterioo merchants will sponâ€" sor a Baseball Appreciation day on Aug. 29th. Tickets for this night will be on sale at the variâ€" ous stores for the trifling sum of 25¢ each. It would certainly appear that there is something putrid in Peru, and it isn‘t at the Waterloo plant. JMH.S. . Waterloo has acquired a new name. . . "the City of Holes". We have heard several people refer to it by this name and in many ways it is fitting. _ â€" _ _ Years from now, new citizens will wonder what we of this day were complaining of, for it is for their benefit that a great deal of this work is being carried on. Needless to say if past councils and engineers had seen fit to do some of this work as the city frew, there would not be the need ut}ay for such a complete overâ€" hall. Despite this, the printed stateâ€" ment claimed that Waterloo with a comparatively clean sample had a 9 million higher count than did either the Spring Valley plant or the Doon plant where the water sample was so filthy it couldn‘t be seen through. â€" Certainly few cities of a like size have been plagued with the number of dugâ€"up streets and roads. Water samples taken at the Waterloo plant showed the water to be reasonably clear, although poliution cannot be judged entireâ€" ly by the appearance of water. At the Spring Valley plant the water was murky but could still be seen through. At the Doon plant, the water was just like ‘nuck and could not be seen hrough even though the test botâ€" tle was clear glass. s ‘Dr. Berry in giving his report on pollution stated that anything uver 2400 per litre per sample was unsatisfactory. If such is the case, then the only satisfactory water in the whole waterway is just beâ€" low Elora and just above Waâ€" terloo. The count below Elora was 1000 and just above Waterâ€" Too it was down to 100. Reports indicate that the Waâ€" terloo Sewage disposal plant was as good as the best, yet those visitâ€" ing the Spring Valley plant where the count was supposed to be lowâ€" er, could hardly stand the stench. Water will purify itself if given fime and distance and proper stream bed, but for anyone to dream up the thought that polâ€" lution could be re:uced by the count of 9 million in such a short flow and over a stream bed alâ€" ready saturated, is utterly fanâ€" tastic. Waterloo, unfortunately, is conâ€" tributing her share of pollution to the érand River but it seems unlikely that it would be a higher percentage than Kitchener. While there is omly a stone‘s throw in actual distance between the Waterioo sewage disposal eunt and the Kitchener Spring alley lant, pollution count dropped g'om up to ten million at the Waterloo plant to a count of one million at the Kitchener outâ€" let . . . this, according to an arâ€" ticle released by a local daily paâ€" Vol. 9¢ o. 37 > ,"\b"" * § wfi.“"‘“ There are still enough shells left for one more rather moderate shoot so if any of you Waterloo residents are being plagued with these filthy birds, now is the time to phone your request to this column and have the shooters come to your section of the city. The numerous children were reâ€" sponsible for considerable damage to the various rockeries and flowâ€" er gardens at Carlings the other night and uniess parents restrain them, some other way will have to be found to keep control of them. A great deal can be said for the care exercised by these men when shooting on the city streets and surrounded as they are by hunâ€" dreds of children and numerous adults. We have repeatedly sugâ€" gested that parents keep their children away from the areas away where shooting is going on but either the kids get out of range too fast or the parents are relieved that their ostprinthu found something else to interest them. The kids do everrthi:s but peer up the gun barrels a we even saw one litle fellow trying this stunt. Luckily the gun he chose was empty. Most of the shooters stationed themselves in front of Carlings and the barrage that went on was something to see and hear. Starâ€" lings were falling in al} directions and it was not uncommon for a shooter to be lining up on some birds only to have another gunner drop a few dead ones practically on his head.

Cattle Drinking Water A Brantford man, John G. Stratford, remarked that within a mile from the sewage outfall in his town, cattle are using the Grand River water for drinking purposes. Within a few hundred yards from the outlet, he said, dairy cattle are drinking the polâ€" luted water and their milk in turn Mr. Gardin suggested that local packing plants be requested to inâ€" stall settling beds to eliminate sewage. "Start the ball rolling as far as industry is concerned," he urged.

The Brart committee didn‘t agree and decidâ€" ed to unite with all sportsmen‘s clubs along the river valley to see what could be done. Smaller groups such as church organizations, unions and sports clubs were encouraged to discuss the problem. The important obâ€" jective was to arouse the public and urge them to press for action.

Chairman Gardin pointed out that communities "may . be paying fines if nothing is done." In Port Huron, Mich., he said, pollution offenders have been paying a fine of $500 a day for the past 200 days. "Anyone who isn‘t blind could certainly see the difference in tests made at the Shand Dam and the outfall at Brantford," Ald. Durward Preston remarked. He DL ERRCOREMY IMY felt that if some communities are expecting aid from the Governâ€" ment they are only "crying in the dark." "We paid the shot for our presâ€" ent plant ourselves," Ald. Ewald said, "and therefore why should other communities Jook for help for theirs." He said that it was unfortunate that Waterioo County residents had to travel 50 or 75 miles to go flshing when "we have the Grand River." Costs OK. He felt that at least a primary treatment plant was required in Preston and Guelph‘s plant is outâ€" moded. "We in Waterloo have not objected to costs whatsoever," ne said. Providing the sewage plants in other Grand River myâ€" nicipalities come up to the stanâ€" dard of Waterloo‘s" he added, "we are willing to go along with costs on a per capita basis." Two representatives from Waâ€" terioo Council stated their opinâ€" ions, Ald. Waldon Ewald said the "Grand River is the ‘damnedest‘ mess I‘ve ever seen."
