H bright individual might in the reuaonable near future, make I move again to introduce parking meters into Waterloo. Such a move at the present time would probably result in a tar and feather job if not a lynching. What meters would do to Wattrloo's retail bus- iness would be pitiful to see. They have already put 1 worth while crxmp in the same type of business in Kitchener. People who contend that meters improve the parking situation have rocks where their brains are supposed to be. Meters can be fed nickel, and you can park all day. With police checking the cars, you either move at the end of the hour or you get a ticket. Waterloo does not need meters even if they were an aid to parking. There is plenty of " the street parking and more is being provided. Even in Kitchener, the meters have further complicated an already messy parking situation. Merchants generally would not stand for the installation of the one armed bandits in this city. Any attempt to place them would be trusted in the same manner as the last couple of efforts. J.” Fr. CAR LICENSE ISSUE in Waterloo has nat dim], 'Ner is it likely to now it has been brought into the open. Present situation is that the Minister of Highways is sup- posed to be having a bureau make a report as to the neces- sity of a separate bureau for this city. If the Hon. James N. Allan has run into any real tight spots lately, they will be as nothing compared to the rue- kus that will result from any attempt to block this city from having its mm car license bureau. A Supposedly, sanction of such a bureau rests on actual need. Well, Waterloo needs its own bureau and much more so than many of the-small commities which has bum granted the priviledze.

This in itself is not unusual, smce at this time of year moat people spend quite a bit of Lune doing exactly the same thing. The unusual part is that Mr. Caldwell starts in Octo- her, and he decorates only one present. He started this year with a large, plain cardboard box and by dint of eifort and a little ordinary paint, transformed it into a very acceptable master- piece of Christmas finery. This hobby has been going on for the past 8 years, since Mr. Caldeeu left his home in Dominion N.S. Each year the decoration on the box is dif- street suffixes on signs and urged the planning board to re- consider its recommendation to l e g alize designationless streets. The mayor said he wasn't in favor of having to replace all street markers not carrying suffixes at once no it would re- present h cost of several thousand dollars. Although strongly in favor of the return of street design- ations last week, Ald. Harold P-ikin reiterated his stand last night. He, too, favored re- placing the sign- Ind adding suRier " they required re- placement.

Waterloo Ontario. Thursday, December 20, 1960 IN VERY POUR CON0lll leunt, and one year, pleased the employees of the Canadian National Express in Montreal so much, that they displayed it for an entire day, perhaps to show others how much could be done in the wrapping field as well as to the indivi- dualism displayed by one man. The box itself is decorated in the Nova Scotia motif, of a one end showing a picture of a piper at Amherst and. is en- titled "Welcome at the bor- der". The other end shows a group of very attractive young ladies bearing the title "Down where the land of Evangeline Begins". The front wishes everyone a Merry Xmas for 56 and the back a Happy New Year for 'tw. Mr. Caldwell's evening hob- by was discovered and appreei- ated by Walter Joseph, 8 mo- torman for the C.N.R. Express. He is the man who sees to it that the gifts in the box, which total $175.00 in value wend their way to their proper re- eipients. Mr. Joseph said that an effort such as this is ap- preciated by everyone who handles it. "Of all the people that handle the thousanls of packages at Christmas, one like this would stand out just a little more, and wish them a Merry Christmas too".
