J H.S. Lealâ€"littered streets are a sure indication that the fall season has taken over from summer. The leaves while beautiful in the exâ€" itreme at this time of the year, constitute a real danger to motorâ€" istsâ€"particularly when wet. We notice too that there is a great deal more patrolling being *done in Waterloo, The fact that the Twin Cities take so many preâ€" cautions with their children show up in the accident records, and a real reason why children should be taught that the cop on the street is one of their best friends. : imet se hing.| CC 0CC" ‘UC" Iane a grealer inâ€" While a contract is just as bind~| terest in civic affairs as, "it has ing on a city as it is on a Pn"“‘r‘now become a million dollar busiâ€" concern, still we cannot see Wwhere | pasy Waterloo is bound to negotiate JX s with the PUC ”v!erlfi‘l cogrt;l'actp{’hcef s the) termise latter failed to fulfill. e ve you seen e rri did not provide adequate cross Thanksgiving display in the winâ€" town bus service nor have theyjdow of Klaehn‘s Mett»lhrke‘t, made any effort to substitute anyâ€"| The impact from the display is fea sea‘e tohe io clteip s posy: lQuwn for s beker hoop ane neied ea seems â€" ¢ tion where the city of W-terloo{tnnns eye it from all angles. will underwrite any ki)“ the l:t‘:“ Cenu:jd in lh; wmdAo:I“:;e“;w'z company may occur, leaving the oversized pumpkins taxp‘:ye!;'s hnÂ¥dml the proverbial their tops are cards inviting the bag whether the bus company lost | public to guess their wu&ht and money or made a profit.

Many Waterâ€" looites believe it is. They point to the great number of persons who work in Kitchener and eiseâ€" where and live in Waterloo. They wonder what will happen if we run into another depression and some of these Kitchener employâ€" ees are laid off work. So far as people livu]:z' in Waâ€" terloo and working in Kitchener, it is also probably true that the reverse applies to almost the same extent. Waterloo has been extremely fortunate in having Don Roberts as mayor for two terms. Frank Bauer is of equally high calibre with plenty of ability to handle &ither city or private business. Even if there was a general deâ€" pression, of which there is no sign at present, the local employâ€" ment picture would be unlikely to change to any great extent. Loâ€" cal industries are not seasonable, and while there might be some small cutting of wages and salâ€" aries, it is unlikely that it would amount to a great deal. _ _ _ Frankly I think they are borâ€" rowing trouble without there beâ€" ing any indication that there is any. s Wet leaves and wet pavement make a shpfiery combination alâ€" most as tricky as sheer ice and more dangerous because the driâ€" ver is not expecting trouble at this time of the year. We watched several drivers get themselves inâ€" to a great deal of trouble and exâ€" pense last year just because they refused to recognize the danger of wet leaves. The same hazard is just suninf for this year. Conâ€" sider yourself and consider others and don‘t take chances in areas where wet leaves coat the road. J.H.S. Kitchener police are doing a splendid job of supervisipg danâ€" gerous crossing this year where school _ children _ must _ cross through, fast traffic. It must be a doggone nice thing for parents to know their children are so well looked after. With Waterloo suffering the most acute growing pains in its history, it is well that a man of Frank Bauer‘s ability should offer to serve as mayor. It‘s a reasonable guarantee that this ciâ€" ty will continue its present proâ€" gress. s Ald. Framk Bauer will run for mayor of Waterloo, now that Mayor Roberts has announced his intention of retiring. We said in this column last week that Ald. Bauer would be the l;fia) next mayor of this city.

Are residents so reâ€" signed to the unsanitary mess rcaused by these birds that they do not apply enough pressure on |eity officials. Ald. Ewald said that he would like to make a personal appeal to all citizens who are interested in the welfare of this city, to come ou't_on nomination night. _Ald Ewald will shortly be leay ing Waterioo to take a better po sition in Toronto. He intends moving his family to the big city as soon as he can obâ€" tain a house. So far as his council activities are concerned, he will attend most of the meetings beâ€" tween now and the November nominations. Because of the disâ€" tance he has to travel, he feels that a few of them will be missed. Such is the easy solution to these childish problems. If more Proof of this is in our attempt last week to rid the Lutheran Church of the heavy concentraâ€" tion of these filthy birds.

Arno Hauck felt at Monâ€" day night‘s council meeting that it was up to the finance commitâ€" tee to find out whether or not it was feasible to operate a bus in the city or pay a deficit to the Kitchener PUC and have them operate it. Referring to the stipuâ€" lations laid down by the PUC he said: "It isn‘t possible to get anyâ€" one under those conditions." One point which will stymie the council, he said, would be the obâ€" taining of an accurate passenger and route survey. He felt that this was one thing the city must have before entering into a crossâ€" town service Mayor Roberts Romted out that an approximate figure could be obtained from the last crossâ€"town bus experiment tee of Waterloo Council for fur ther recommendations. From that time until his death in 1925, he was untiring in his efâ€" forts to realize to the full the aim which is exemplified in the Hydro mottoâ€"Dona Natura Pro Populo Suntâ€""The Gifts of Naâ€" ture Are For The People". At a nowâ€"famous meeting held there on February of that year, Mr. Beck seconded a resolution drawn up by the municipalities interested in the Hydro moveâ€" ment, urging the provincial govâ€" ernment to take action. As Legisâ€" lative member for London, he spearheaded the drive that was launched, and on May 14, 1906, The Hydroâ€"Electric Power Comâ€" mission of Ontario came into beâ€" ing, with Sir Adam Beck as first chairman. At the time of Adam Beck‘s birth in 18§7; electric service in the home was unknown. Today, in Southern Ontario homes being switched over from 25 to 60â€"cycle power, Hydro crews are having to alter an average of four frequenâ€" cyâ€"sensitive electrical appliances, such as washing machines, refrigâ€" erators, record players, and oil burners. This does not include nonâ€"sensitive appliances such as incandescent lifi\hls, kettles, iron and radios, which do not reâ€" quire conversion. "For the 904,700 Hydro customâ€" ers of all classes in Southern Onâ€" tario ultimately to be affected by frequency standardization, it is estimated that more than 5,200,00 pieces of equipment will have to be changed over," Hydro Chairâ€" man Saunders said, "including some 676,000 washing machines, 528,000 refrigerators, 565,000 elecâ€" tric clocks, and 350,800 record players." To date in the gigantic program more than 342,800 customers of all classes have been brought the benefits of 60â€"cycle power, and the Southern Ontario "25â€"cycle island" has been reduced in area by approximately one half.
