They insist on theatre goers paying a plenty high price to get in, and then force them to watch paid adverâ€" tising. The only out the patron has is to shut his eyes or leave. In the outdoor theatres, drivers honk their horns and otherwise show their displeasure. Does this faze the management? So far it hasn‘t and they are getting worse and worse.

He ostensibly is free to read it or ignore it, whichever he feels like doing. e Mrs. Brown voiced the opinion of many more than were present at the meeting when she contendâ€" ed that lack of patronage on the Kitchener PUC crossâ€"town buses was probabliy due to the repeated changing of schedules by this company and the poor service. The schedules were changed so often and with such rapidity that no one knew if they were going to be able to get a bus ride or not. In conclusion, Ald. Ewald, Ald. Hauck and Ald. Preston were apâ€" pointed as city representatives on a committee which will make an attempt to get the cross town serâ€" vice started again, in some shape or form. Do you know where they are going first? You guessed itâ€"the Kitchener PUC. J.H.S. How local theatres get way with forcing patrons to watch paid adâ€" vertising, we can‘t figure out. . Cost of the venture came in for some discussion, and it was felt that the small amount needed to build these dams would be repaid, many times by the amount saved in flood control. The sluiceway in Brampton alone cost over a mil-‘ lion, with the city paying out the tidy sum of $200,000 for a block | of concrete. Brampton omcialsf aprove highly of the Waterloo: idea of numerous small cheap| dams. | The local PUC should also be asked to help pay the shot. Right now they are planning the expenâ€" diture of many thousands of dolâ€" lars in an effort to mine more waâ€" ter out of the soil. Some help toâ€" wards the conservation of water, such as the dam project, would be more in keeping with modern conditions. Waterloo‘s Horticultural Socieâ€" ty came in for a few words of praise from Mr. Ivan Glover of Guelph that Monday night‘s counâ€" cil meeting. e s Looking around Waterloo, it is easy to see why. J.H.S. A hot potato dumped in counâ€" cil‘s lap at this week‘s meeting, was that of providing cross town bus service, if not for the adults, then at least for the school age children. Many of these youngâ€" sters now have to walk upwards of two miles to school and some mothers have been making a point of keeping their children away from school if the weather was inclement. Mrs. M. Brown, spokesman for the Amos Ave. and McDougali Ave. residents, thought that the city ought to be able to operate a bus line of their ownâ€"at a proâ€" fit. This is %uite possibly true. but the city has no money they can allot to such a venture. Deputy Reeve Rickert will also conduct a tour for interested perâ€" sons to proposed dam locations in Waterloo County, while Mr. Dotzâ€" ert will acquaint others with posâ€" sible sites in Wilmot County. bor Day. After this date, a genâ€" eral meeting will be called and a number of persons not now inâ€" cluded will be invited to attend, and officers of the new organizaâ€" tion will be elected. At the Tuesday night meeting, Ald. Ewald raised the question of control of the dams. It was his feeling that a lease ought to be obtained, so that those spending the money would have the say. However the general opinion inâ€" dicated that farmers would be unâ€" willing to be bound by a lease but would probably accept an agreeâ€" ment which would protect the dam for at least fifty years. _ _ It is thought that some local industry may see their way clear to donate a flesrtain amount toâ€" wards the construction of these dams as they would benefit through the flood control. _ There have been several interâ€" ested bus owners interviewed in the hope that they would be able to start a service and run it at a profit. So far, none of them have seen fit to make the attempt. _ Waterico h'-hls. represented by Deputy Reeve Clayt Mc:k threw their supportâ€"one h percent behind the effort started by Clayt Dotzert of Waterloo, to start buildin’ a series of small dams on local streams as a flood control and conservation effort. The move took place at the first meeting of the interested group on Tuesday night of this week. Farmers approached for land on which to construct the dams, have been highly coâ€"operative. They like the idea and point out that water impounded on their proâ€" perty will also be an aid in fightâ€" ing any fire which might occur in their buildings. All {;reliminary matters will if possible be cleared up before Laâ€" Vol. : /, No. 38 Around W aterloo JH.S Ald. John Borsje suggested that the city cut down some of its other spending and concentrate on proâ€" viding a bus service. the public and will continue to do so unless some real effort is made to stop it. The time is NOW. J.H.S. ~ The Department of Planning and Development of the Ontario government, thinks so highly of the Waterloo plan to build small dams on local creeks, that it is sending a member of its staff to Waterloo next Monday to survey all the streams flowing into Waâ€" terloo. Considering that it often takes months and sometimes years beâ€" fore action is taken on like mpatâ€" ters, we feel Mr. Dotzert must have unusual persuasive powers, and that the government departâ€" ment must have recognized a good Other areas of the city also lack school transportation, Mr. Wagner remarked. He cited the Bridgeâ€" port Road and North St. districts as examples. Referring to the discontinuance of the crassâ€"town service by the Kitchener PUC some months ago, Ald. Waldon Ewald, pointed out that it cost the Kitchener transâ€" portation firm 40 to 41 cents a mile to operate the service. The cost was too high for the bus paâ€" tronage, he said. "It is beyond the means of anyone to operate under the present conditions," he said. We are very sympathetic to all that are involved," the mayor said. He said the PUC will proâ€" vide the bus service but it is a reâ€" sponsibility of the city to pay any losses involved. At the time of the discontinuance of the previous transportation service it was pointed out the Waterloo crossâ€" town run was the poorest paying of all the interâ€"city routes. Mrs. M. Brown, spokesman for the group of Amos Ave. and Macâ€" Dougall Ave. residents, felt the city could make a bus service 8!'0- fitable. She criticized the PUC service and suggested the lack of patronage may have been due to the PUC‘s habit of changing the schedule at frequent intervals. Mrs. Brown felt that the tax rate was high now and the mothâ€" ers wouldn‘t mind paying one more mill to ensure the safety of their children. If the city provides the transâ€" portation service, Ald. Hauck pointed out, a general vote must be held in order to secure permisâ€" sion from the taxpayers to spend the money to secure the vehicles. Waterloo‘s postmaster, Clayt Dotzert, after a visit to the deâ€" partment on Wednesday of this week, jubillntg.reporu that offiâ€" cials of the partment would act at once. A poolâ€"car system, suggested by Ald. Harold Paiken, had geen conâ€" "It is impossible for us to emâ€" bark on a transportation system other than for the children," Ald. Hauck felt. He suggested that the city buy a vehicle and make it available to the school board. Aldermen _ Hauck, _ Durward Preston and Waldon Ewald were Harold Wagner remarked that the primary concern of the school board was the safety factor. He said the board was not allowed to spend public funds on an endeaâ€" vor of this nature. ‘"Don‘t measure dollars and cents over children‘s lives," he warned. sidered, Mr. Wagner said, but was found unsatisfactory. Most of the men in the district go to work early in the morning and thereâ€" fore their cars are not available, he said. The idea of hiring taxis to take the children to school was also explored, he added, but the rates charged were found prohibitive. "We‘ve got to find some way," Ald. Hauck replied. "With what money?" Mayor Robert interjected. Waterloo‘s crossâ€"town bus probâ€" lem bounced back into council Monday nifht. Three aldermen together with three residents of the Amos Avenue and DacDougali Avenue districts have been apâ€" pointed a committee to further study the possibility of backâ€" street transportation. Duncan Doufiul. chairman of Waterloo Public School Bou!di and Harold Wagner urged counci to take some action. Approximâ€" ately 15 residents also attended the meeting. In a counter proposal the school board chairman suggested that the walkway on Amos Avenue be extended to permit children to walk to school in safety. Ald. Arno Hauck felt that if a storm drain was installed in this area the resulting shoulder along the road would permit safe walkâ€" ing. "I don‘t want these children to walk on that street," he said. POSSIBILITY OF CROSSTOWN BUs STILL FOGCY In view of the lack of a crossâ€" town bus service, Mr. Douglass pointed out, school children are forced to walk nearly two miles, in some cases, to attend classâ€" rooms. Some mothers, he said, kept their children at home in the winter months in view of the inâ€" clement weather. Replying, Mayor Roberts said, that a number of interested priâ€" vate bus operators have visited the city but they are not conâ€" vinced that a crossâ€"town bus serâ€" vice in Waterloo will pay. He felt there was not much likelihood that a transportation system would be inaugurated unless finâ€" ancial aid cuulg be secured. THE MARCH OF PRO wP <orng All The guns were taken from hunâ€" ters, caught breaking the law by game wardens. Formerly such sales were held in Toronto but "many requests were received from sportsmen to decentralize the sale so prospective buyers would not have to travel so far to see the guns," Mr. Marritt said. 15 CONFISCATED GUNS TO BE SOLD SEEK APPROVAL FOR KITCHENER TV CHILDREN ESCAPE GRANARY COLLAPSE Three children at Ayr had a close call Monday when a granâ€" ary holding 3,000 bushels of grain collapsed. _ Some 628 cases of polio have been reported in Ontario this year with 21 deaths.

Both felt that this conâ€" nection would be much easier than sinking a septic tank.
