â€"â€" Around W aterloo The motorcycle nuisance has actually been diminishing over a period of the past few years, possibly because the young fellow of today prefers to take his girl for a ride in a car rather than on the back seat of the twoâ€"wheeler. However, a few of the many riders are still a menace. These should be campaigned for by the police and put off the road enâ€" ‘tirely if they persist in their efforts. â€" . JHS. No doubt Kitchener police are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea on this occasion, although we can hasdly see them tolerating this condition if they knew it existed. JLH.S. The official we-inm of Carlings new offices and warehouse marks the erection of one of the most beautiful buildings to grace the main street of this city for some time. Persons from outside this city cannot help but be impressed with the structural benu:iy of this building, both inside and out. While actually the property of the city, grounds in front of the new building have been beautified Too bad there cou‘dn‘t be a way of putting these storage tanks underground. They certainly do much to detract from the neighâ€" bourhood in which they are placed. 2s â€" JH.S. Am told that since the start of the Kitchener Centennial, a numâ€" ber of youny lads far under age have been getting into brew far too lethal for their capacity to handle. Remember, if they are becomâ€" ing troublesome, call this column and we will see that shooters are dispatched to your neighbourâ€" hood as soon as possible affer your call is received. JHS. The new Waterloo water tower is rapidly approaching compleâ€" tion and while it is no doubt a necessity, it is certainly an eyeâ€" sore to residents in that part of the city. _ s While the birds are still a very big and serious nuisance, we do not believe they are quite as nuâ€" merous as they were a few years ago when shooting them in the city first started. . _ JH.S. Starlings starting to bother you yet? They have now brought forth their young and it will be only a matter of a short time before they start roosting in the trees of this city. In a few places they are even now beginning to make things unpleasant for resiâ€" dents. Shells have now been purâ€" chased and if you are one of the unlucky persons who are plagued with these filthy birds, all you have to do is to call 6â€"6401, this column, and shooters from the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club will make things very unheaithy for the starlings in your neighbourâ€" It is illegal for them to ride their bikes this way and they probably know it. On the other hand they will not give an inch snd are becoming worse every ay. Waterloo merchants report inâ€" creasing sales during the Friday night opening and several even claim their Saturday business is increasing. 0_ Ds While the trial period actually extends until next January, it would now seem likely that the night opening has thoroughly sold itself to many of the merchants, even before the end of its test time. These children are all old enough to know better, but perâ€" sist in riding in this manner and openly defy the car driver to hit them. Police here should put a stop to the practice once and for all It wouldn‘t be hard to do. J.H.S. A crackdown on youngsters riding bikes two and three abreast is badly needed in Waterloo. One of the main adversions the average man has to the motorâ€" cycle, is the amount of noise made by the machine. While all of these must be muffled, there is no doubt but that some of the drivers are finding ways of inâ€" stalling a muffier while still beâ€" ing able to create a considerable racket. Police ticketing for imâ€" proper muffiing would soon put a stop to this practise. _ _ After reading this column‘s comment on some motorcycle riders, a local resident is moved to offer the suggestion that motorâ€" cycle riders should be made to attend a school of instruction where they would learn of the amount of sudden death they hold in their hands while riding one of the power bikes. x Of course the same, might be true of some car driveys. The fact still repains that a fast car driver as a rule, is soon picked up by police. The average fast rider on a motorcycle gets away with it longer because he is not so conspicuous, and conseâ€" quently harder to apprehend. Actually motorcycle clubs have done much to slow down the smart alec on a bike. They know that they as a group are tarred with the same brush as the rider who takes all the chances and enâ€" dangers others while taking them. Consequently they have made a real effort to clip the wings of those who are stepping out of line, but its almost impossible to pull all riders into line.

Heavy winds last Sunday drove sand into every new home Joâ€" cated near lands that had been bulldozed for further building. There is no reason why a city should be able to allow a few to inconvenience the mnnr. and a city with the welfare of its le at heart wouldn‘t rflnit m- mess. Evidently the feelings of individuals mean little in this high tax area. It is up to the orâ€" dinary home owner to make a change in this attitude. The fire occurred about a month ago when a spark jumped into a wood box in the kitchen. The interior of the kitchen was considerably damaged. The kitchen blaze was detected by 6â€"yearâ€"old Richard Schwarâ€" tzentruber, son of the owner of the house. He aroused his parâ€" ents who were in the barn at the time. The fire was quickly brought under control by Mr. Schwartzentruber. Waterloo residents should take the time to appraise the beauty of this new building and its xrnc‘ul surroundings, the next time they are passing. â€" Damaged House Now Remodelled Richard dressed and led his 4â€" yearâ€"old brother, Ronald, from the smokeâ€"filled house. It was claimed workers cutting weeds on his property spent only 13 hours on the job, not 18% as stated by the city. Finally the committee agreed to bill him for $120.99 instead of $145.74, alâ€" though they still felt their workers‘ liming on the job was correct. PETERSBURG. â€" The fireâ€" damaged home of Earl Schwarâ€" tzentruber, RR. 2, Petersburg, has been remodelled. Waterloo council Monday déâ€" cided to settle for part of the unâ€" paid account they were unable to collect for weedâ€"cutting from a Waterloo resident. The bill is two year sold. _ Council‘s board of works comâ€" mitteee was told the man made no efforts to pay the city for cutting weeds on his property until the amount was added to his tax bill. Then he complained bitterly to city officials. ‘"‘This will at least get out of the dust," said Bauer. In deciding on Class 3 pavement for Union, aldermen noted there may be alterations on this street in the future. The street is now 30 feet wide but plans are to inâ€" crease it to 40 feet. It was also decided to put calâ€" cium on Erb and Dick streets, Westmount and Lincoln roads and some of the heavilyâ€"travelled roads in the city. Survives After 40â€"Foot Tumble Class 3 pavement was approved for Weber and Union streets. Class 2 roadway is to be laid on Bristol, Rodney and Cornwall streets. It was pointed out that curbs will not be laid on these streets at this time. Waterloo council in a ?ecial meeting Monday night decided to pave some streets and put calcium on a few others. This action came after objections over dust on cerâ€" tain roads.

Tuesday, after failing 40 feet from the top of a silo. â€" According to workmen, Bergey was erecting piping on top of the silo in preparaâ€" tion for filling. A board broke and he tumbled inside the silo and was found lying unâ€" conscious in a few inches of water. Workers said if the unconscious man had not been found quickly he might have drowned.
