Driver‘s thougbht for the week ... The nonâ€"dimmer, the guy or gal wheeling a car with the lights «onstantly on high beam These individuals usually turn lights un as soon as dusk apâ€" proaches. Parking lights are not enough. Even the driving lights are â€" insufficient unless | turned right up. Their theory seems to be that so long as they can see the road, it‘s not important for the other driver to know where he is going. Probably the worst offenders are those driving old model cars who have nad the old type lights converted to seal beam. It‘s imâ€" possible to adjust these old lights so that the beam is properly on the road, yet garages continue to seil and instal them. Vol. 97, No. 7 Tuesday night we followed a woman driver in to Waterloo. Lon‘t get us wrong â€" we weren‘t iollowing the gal, just the car she was driving. It happened to be a new Ford with a real bot pair of lignts. bvery driver approachâ€" ing from the upposite direction Licked tneir lights several times und usually ended by leaving vueim on high beam. The gal drivâ€" ing the new Ford evidentiy did ol know tnut a light control butâ€" ton had ever been invented and lelt the lights on high beam all tue time Actual danger from â€" driving witr your lights on high at all limes is not to the other driver but to yourseif. If he is blinded A thing to remember also but not generally recognized is that iigh beam lights are just as danâ€" gerous and confusing around town as they are un the highway. Just consider it is as easy to press your left foot on the light control butâ€" ton as it is to press your right foot on the accelerator â€" and a ict safer. C by your lights, he will instinctiveâ€" ly edge in towards the centre of ine road and so into your car. Remote control dimming of lights are, no doubt, a must un ali tuture cars. Some cars have them now as optivnal equipment, and uther maxers should adopt the idea and equip ALL cars. There is no depression in sight and there is not even any sign it will occur cither now or in the reasonable distant future. There is a levelling off, both, of buying and selling, but tne better busiâ€" ness man welcomes this condition. Prices, wages and spending have been coasting aluong in an inflated condition. A storekeeper hasn‘t had to sell nor has a salesman had to work to pass mis goods un the storekeeper. Now they and the tactories who produce the conâ€" sumer goods must do a seiling job. Competition is keener and quality of goods kgeps improving because of the competition. & . These are not signs of depresâ€" siun ur even recessiuon. They are signs that the plush days of conâ€" sumer demand and short supplies are on their way out The conâ€" sumer demand is still there. The gvods are mure plentiful than ever, BUT people have suddenly become aware that money does not gruw un trees and are deâ€" manding value and service for their cash. If there is another depression, newspapers and ~radios> making big news out uf tne unemployâ€" ment situation and the supposed tack of business will be to blame, a weil known business man told us today. â€" s We agree and add that word of mouth from person to person is also a dangerous and deciding facâ€" tor in such things. Unemployment in the Kâ€"W disâ€" trict is probably the lowest in Canada. It always has been and will in all probabilities remain in this condition. Owner of the Twin City Taxi Cab, Ken Shatz, brings to your attention that all cabs pelonging to his company are now radioâ€" equipped, It is thought that with the aid of this new radio equipment that even better and certainly faster service can be given customers. J.H.S. Bus stops are taking up far too much space in Waterloo and the number of these stops should either be reduced or the length <ut to accommodate only one bus at a time At least half a block is taken up by these stops at two or three downtown locations in Waterloo. This is absolute foolishness when it is considered that the wasted space could park at least five or six cars. Waterioo bus stops should be reduced in length to barely acâ€" commodate one bus at a time or ticketing of cars parking in these stops should be curtailed Around W aterloo Present size of stops and eagerâ€" ness of police officers to ticket cars parked in these stops is driving a great deal of buying power out of Waterloo. Kitchener is worse we will admit, but we don‘t have to follow their sad example The bus company pays little or nothing towards the upkeep of the roads. The driving public pays the shot â€" they should have the parking privileges Waterloo advertises the fact that there are no meters here. All Ireeegarkmm and the city has pro vid parking facilities both in quantity and location which are superior to any other centre we know of. However, ther is no call to provide Kitchener PUC with JHS LHS CSpe Uirlertoo Gercniecle _ Chronicle).â€"Plans for the spring tournaments in various fields of indoor sports have been anâ€" nounced by the Ontario Command of the Canadian Legion.

The directors of the Waterloo Horticultural Society were reâ€" quested at a meeting last week to consider abandonment of the soâ€" clety‘s annual flower show and in its place substitute a series of smaller seasonal shows. The sugâ€" gestion was introduced by society president Harold Heer.

PLAN SERIES OF SMALL FLOWER SHOWS Teayy floods doing uncold damâ€" age pouints up the acute and imâ€" mediate need for the small dams advocated for this area. With 1.82 inches of rain falling and the snow melting rapidly both from warm weather and rain, Laurel Creek went on anâ€" other rampage un Tuesday of this week, flooding over the roads and into private property. While small dams have been suggested, it might in some cases be wise to enlarge on the proâ€" posed size. ti Good dams can be built in suitâ€" able locations for a very reasonâ€" able sum. It duesn‘t take any of these small rivers long unce they have reached a flood crest to do enough damage to justify the building of several dams. Survey of proposed dam sites has been completed. It is now up to Waterloo and other interested communities to approve funds for dam construction. ~ J. NS Carotine St., Bridgeport Rd. and a few others in Waterloo are sheer torture coarses for drivers. Sume of the holes gaping in these ruads are big enough to drop haif the front end of a car into.

Brown of MeDouâ€" gull Ave., in Waterloo still has nupes that the new council this year will do something to get the cross town buses running again. accruing through the lack of upâ€" keep un tuese roads should be billed to the city hall. Bridgeport Road in particular has been falling apart for years. It is not even safe for pedestrians to walk along.the sidewalks unâ€" less encased in a waterâ€"proo{ suit. Holes in road and small lakes along side of road are tempting targets for some drivérs, who are delighted to find than they can drive tnrough them and throw muddy water right over the top of the sidewalks. This particular road carries a neavy stream ol traffic at all hours of the day and night. Why it hasn‘t been fixed long ago is anyone‘s guess. Every time this question is brought the council delegates members to talk to the Kitchener PUC. This is laughable when it is considered that the last time tnis company had the handling of the cross town service (?) they made it so utterly undesirable that Waterloo people wouldn‘t use it. Since then, Waterloo council has carefully looked the other way when the question of a crossâ€" town bus service comes up. Instead of appointing a couple of council members to go and talk impossible terms with the PUC, why doesn‘t council appoint a goâ€" getter like secretary of the Chamâ€" of Commerce, Cliff Hall? Council could probably borrow Mr. Hall from the Chamber for a short time, give him an expense account and we‘ll bet Waterloo would have a erossâ€"town bus serâ€" vice and a good one in short orâ€" der. and it wouldn‘t be run from and for Kitchener either The whole transportation as it now stands is slanted one hunâ€" dred percent towards Kitchener and towards transporting purâ€" chasing dollars from here directâ€" ly to that city Regardless of the merits of forâ€" mer councils, they have for the most part done little to keep the PUC in lpe.
