Now that the effort to construct these dams has been started and has met with such a good recepâ€" tion, Mr. Oke is in favor of pusfi- ing the idea ahead as fast as posâ€" sible. He also pointed out that Mr. Dotzert had done a tremenâ€" dous job so far and that the enâ€" thusiasm with which our postâ€" master is attacking the situation should guarantee a â€" successful completion. One ‘thing that will have to be taken into consideration when building the conservation dams is the fact that the bottom of dams eventually become impervious to water and consequently waterâ€" prof, with little or no seepage escaping into the surrounding soil. This condition only comes to be over a period of years, but is something that should be kept in mind and sites for fresh dams allowed for in approximately the same area it in several of the conservation dams with a view to replacing some of the water they have drained out. Investment in such a venture might also give them some idea of the eventual use of surface water which they will have to come to sooner or later, whether they like it or not. Besides pointing out the beneâ€" fit some of the dams would have| as flood control areas, Mr. Oke said, that even the conservation dams would fill a badly needed function in replenishing some of | the water now beinfi drained from | the soil for use in the cities. Both | Waterloo and Kitchener PUC‘s| spend thousands of dollars every | year mining water from underâ€" ground sources. It would be only tting if they now took some of their appropriation and invested However, it is the city engiâ€" neer‘s opinion that there is no real site on Laurel Creek for flood control. There are several places where dams could be loâ€" cated and act efficiently for conâ€" servation, but the Laurel Creek area in his opinion does not conâ€" tain a site where an effective flood control dain could be built. Mr. Oke said that the tour with Mr. Dotzert was very revealing. He had looked over most of the sites before but not with the idea of dam construction. Looking at it for this purpose, even he was surprised how well some of the locations lended themselves to the ppoposed purpose. It‘s trying and decidedly nerve wracking to have a child shoot across in front of your car withâ€" out giving a thought to what might happen because he failed to look. However, children have been doing it for a good many years and they will probably still be acting the same way when this generation is a thing of the past. Try to imagine how you would feel if someone hit your youngâ€" ster with a carâ€"and ease off the gas when in a school area. J H.S. A tour of possible dam sites last Saturday by Mr. Oke, Waterloo city engineer and Mr. Dotzert, Waterloo postmaster, brought the approval of Mr. Oke for at least three of the proposed sites. He pointed out that most of the others shown him were good too. but only as conservation dams. They were so situated that they lacked enough retaining capacity to help in flood control. A youngster is an ind‘widual‘ unto himself, quite capable urk tninking when he wants to. Even then, his first impulse when getâ€" ting out of school is to bolt acruss’ the road ‘and get home where he| can change his clothes and go out | to play. It may be a little trying | at times for the drivers, but it is} still their responsibility to see j that these youngsters keep on getâ€" ting home. | With the holidays still fresh in their memories, it behooves all car drivers to drive slowly and carefully when in the vicinity of children. Even some of the teenâ€" agers are not too careful when crossing the streets, and drivers will have to make up for the lack of thought on the part of the youngsters. _ With everything possible being done to make our streets safe, the car drivers will find that the reâ€" sponsibility of keeping these chilâ€" dren alive rests very much with him. This is a trying time for the little ones, for it is a period of adâ€" jJustment where the most of them have to start and think for themâ€" selves. The kids are back to school or at least the most of them are, and some mothers are heaving sighs of relief that the iong holidays are over, while others are trying hard to conceal a tear because litâ€" tle Johnny or Mary is now growâ€" ing up. It‘s funny to watch the expresâ€" sion on some of the young faces when they first realize that moâ€" ther will not be there all the time to tell them what to do and when.
