Ca It seems to us that now council has taken the trouble to create a parking area in the vicinity of the post office,. that it should be Ahed properly and that those who insist on risking their own lives and property and that of the city by parking in a no parking area, should have to pay the cost This gives the Jessop and Whaâ€" ley firm three outlets, all of them established since the last war. They started with a dry cleaning plant on Bridgeport Rd.. branched out into a fast service plant in Kitchener and because of the latâ€" ter‘s success, decided that the peoâ€" ple of Waterlo might like the . same service without having to go to Kitchener for it. ~ It‘s good to see men with confiâ€" dence in their home city, enough confidence to build new businessâ€" es in the belief that the people in their city will support them. J.H.S. While the new parking area has attracted a good many cars, only a small percentage of them stop in this location for the purpose of entering the post office. Be this as it may, it is readily understood that a parking place attracts a driver regardless of the area. The bad part of this is that drivers are still parking their vehicles on both sides of Dupont. a street that is supposed to be kept open at All times for use by the fire departâ€" ment. â€" _ With cars parked on both sides of this street. the fire trucks could no doubt still get through, but there would certainly be no room for error. Just a few inches one way or the other and there could be a dandy pileâ€"up of firé truck and cars andâ€"very possibly people. Abolition of the bus parking stop in front of the Waterloo post office was done to give those wanting to stop for mail a chance to do so without breaking the parking regulathons in forcee on Dupont St While few drivers will i seeing them during the day, t could easily be uverlooked @gbt, particularly in front stores which are not open. «_ Waterloo progressed to the tune of two new businesses in the past two weeks. That is a nice average for any city. Last week Ed. Bergman openâ€" ed his _ new, modern jewellery store. Ed. is mure than happy with the reception given him by his prospective customers and feels that he made a good move locating his business in Waterloo, This week, Jessop and Whaley Cleaners, always one of the most progressive of the dry cleaning firms, opened a new super oneâ€" hour cleaning piant in the former Dietrich‘s Garage bwilding. The building has been entirely moâ€" dernized and all the newest in equipment installed. Screaming tires on speeding cars ?'e still makmg sleeping tough for residents of Erb East. Police might do well to check this corner for a couple of evenâ€" ings and see if they can‘t slow traffic to the point where resiâ€" dents won‘t dig for the storm celâ€" lar every time they hear a car coming The fat turn on the east side of the new bridge is a lot sharper than it looks and car travelling over the lawful 30 m.ph. just about tear their tires off when negotiating the turn. Frankly there is too much fast driving at this turn considering the amount of traffic and the fact that four different streets meet here. So far there has been no serious accident to mark the loâ€" cation, but we wouldn‘t be tuo surprised if it was only a matter of time. We thought the placing of biâ€" cycle racks on a city street went out with the horse trough and the hitching post. However, outside of taking up valuable parking space, they present little in the way of a hazard except at night. If they are to remain, then some way should be found of illuminâ€" ating them when the lights of the stures do not show them, for the Lenefit of car drivers, What with Lydrants leaning over the road und antique light posts ready to catch the unwary parker, street conditions are tough enough as they are. s tolmmgs JHS + |, Bauer said his vehicle was goâ€" : ing "only five or ten miles" an While we are on the subject of hour.

This is really something that should be taught at home. There is no need and less excuse for this hazardous business. With the biâ€" cycle so much slower than the car, there is little reason to exâ€" pect that car owners are going to accommodate themselves to the pace of the bicycle. If they try and pass two or three bicycle ridâ€" ers abreast, there is a good chance of the car fender or bumper hooking into the outside bicycle. This could and does happen at frequent intervals and never does the car driver come out second best. Through no one alse‘s fault but his own, the bicycle rider alâ€" ways comes out second best in a brush between himself and a car. Several Waterloo stores have bicycle racks located in front of their premises, not on the sideâ€" walk, but on the road. There is, we believe, a law which requires the bicycle rider to procede in single file. For the safe of his own life and the beâ€" nefit of others, he would be wise to observe this law 7 J.HS FÂ¥iday, September 25, 1958 Around W aterloo J.H.S mMISS they [ at tâ€" of DUCK SEASON NOW OPEN ("The Shawinigan Standard" Duck season opened here Satâ€" urday, and it looks as though it will be a pretty fair year, if they are not all rubbed out before the legal huntets get a chance at them.

We wonder how much was in the rumor of two inâ€" trepid sportsmen being seen with Magistrate Kirkpatrick recomâ€" mended in Waterloo police court last Friday that police instruct biâ€" eyclists to install lights and a bell on their cycles He warned that daylight hours were getting shortâ€" er and consequently the chance of a mishap increased. The suggestion came following the dismissal of a careless driving charge against Raymond Bauer.
