®ontinues to be one of the most fantastic jumbles to be found anywhere. There is a lot of talk about it, but little That a number of minor @ecidents have hanpened beâ€" Sesuse of small children playin® qrith _ firecrackers. | is _ well Imown. Ye*+ nothing definite has been done about it. Might Â¥his not be a good time? J.H.S. KITCHENER PARKING Only one local community Rhas taken the initiative. This bs Baden, where the lid has been clamped on children usâ€" Sag firecrackers other than the week of the 24th. J.H.8. DESPITE APPEALS by poâ€" Nee and cthors, there has been mo restraint placed on the sale of firecrackers to children beâ€" for» the 24th of May. Possibly _ those _ concerned feel they have to start someâ€" where and this is an obvious case, but to be fair they must also stop all the other busiâ€" nesses in private homes. How are they going to do that? King St., tackle â€" dealers while refusing to sanction the sellin= of tackle from & priâ€" wate home, suggested that the small amount presently sold eould not do them any great amount of harm. They also sald that they send live bait enstomers to Oberle. Mr. Oberle would also like to know when he received the notice to auit operating from his home. Supposediy he was refused to cease operations after being told to do so. He would _ appreciate _ knowing when he was told and by whom. There is no other place in Waterloo where a complete selection of live bait may be purchased. With the exception of one person operating from a private home in Kitchener, there is probably no other place where a fisherman may get his reel repaired. According to Tom Oberle, he has not received one comâ€" plaint because he sold live bait and fishing tackle. If no one is kicking, what is all the fuss about? However, the small amount of tackle sold from this home seems hardly to warrant all the importance given the venture. We say this knowing that proâ€" bably on the same street and on many other single residence mreas, there are four or five women sewing commercially, or baking or selling books or women‘s wear, yet they are undisturbed. We are the last to condone business operating from priâ€" wate homes if they are of a {:nportion to disturb neighâ€" urs or take business away from regular business places. A FUSS OUT OF all proâ€" portions, to the importance of the matter seems t )~ conteâ€" rin> sround the small hait and tac‘"> business Tom C>â€"rle is ear~ng on from his home. The car driver is not perâ€" fect, but the car driver seldom eomes off second best in an sccident with a bicycle rider. Could be that in self preservaâ€" tion, the average person riding & bicycle should smarten up to modern day traffie econdiâ€" #lons. We could go further than that and say that some of the bicycle riders seem to be head ing for an accident anyway, the way they crowd in between ears; cut corners, refuse to stop at stop streets, ride in double and triple formation and a dozen and one other silly and thoughtless acts.
