AS IF TRAFFIC is not slow and bazsardous exough on the section of road betwéen the border of Kitchener prope! and the jumbled up mess that Highway regulations â€" are asinine enough, particularly in this recentally annexed section their own hazards,. Fhis area should be at least a 50 mph sone as should like sections around Preston and Galt. Probabilities are that if any of the erawling cars behind the police eruiser had attemptâ€" ed to pass, they would have been hagled up. This type of wamnouvering is in our opinion worse than the cop who sits into a blind street and then waits for someone to drive past at more than the soâ€"called apeed limit. ‘ DoOWNTOWN~ SECTION OF both Waterloo and Kitchener gives indication of fast apâ€" proaching festive season. While neither city have done much more in the way of deâ€" corations than they usually do, they seem to be more attracâ€" tive this year. Certainly store owners have done a better job of decorating their premises, and some of them are drawing a lot of spectators. This may be selling by reâ€" mote control, but its a nice pleasant way to be lead into spending the hard earned buck. J.H.S. WHILE ROADS IN THE Twin Cities were cleared of excess snow â€" withn â€" a â€" reasonaole amount of time aiter the heavâ€" ier snowfalls, streets remained slippery and dangerous. We know there has been a lot of criticism of Works Deâ€" partments using an eXxcess of calcium to rid the roads of ice, we for one would far rather have our car rust away than fold it up like an accordâ€" ian because we could not conâ€" trol it. . We are told that police inâ€" tend cracking â€" down â€" harder than ever on drivers who do not come to a complete halt at each stop street. Does this apâ€" ply under present road condiâ€" tions when i# you stop, you can‘t get started again? One thing we have often wondered about is the inabiâ€" lity of a driver to siop alt a light or stop sign. At least three or four times this week we have seen drivers slide right through stop streets and across onto through roads for the good and simple reason that the stop street corners were sheer ice. There is damn little excuse for any stop corner being slippery when there are all sorts of men available to slop a little sand on we don‘t mean shovels full. WE HAVE BEEN snowed unâ€" der this week with complaints regarding the bus service in this city, although peculiarly enough all of the language has been aimed at the King street informed the bus driver his service was so lousy it stunk.

The Kâ€"W Navy League anâ€" nounces that a large area on the 3rd floor has been rented from the Kaufman Rubber Co., for the use of the young Twin City sailors. Winter Works Program Started â€" However there is plenty of work ahead for the young cadets in order to get everyâ€" thing looking ‘"ship shape" prior to moving in. Partitions will be put up, to make seâ€" parate classrooms, and there i« much painting to be done. The cadets have formed work parâ€" ties anmongst themselves and are all prepared to go "full steam ahead" and ready the "ship" for launching. Hire Veterinarians On fFee â€" For â€" Service Basis The â€" Waterloo Board _ of Health is now going to hire veterinarians on a â€" feeâ€"forâ€" service basis rather than on a salary schedule. good. The Kitchener Board of Health is considering the same system. Doctor: This is a very sad case sir; very sad indeed. I much regret to tell you that your wife‘s mind is gone . comâ€" pletely gone.

The Committees accepted Should the system be apâ€" proved _ by the _ Kitchenetr Board of Health, oneâ€"fifth of the cost of milk and cheese inspections will be paid by Waterloo at the end of the year. However, Waterloo will still be responsible for its own meat and market inspections and any consultations that might oceur. Should inspection be carried out by a veterinarian retained by either of the health departâ€" ments the services will cost ments the services will cost about as mach as they doe now.

The â€" "residential _ building has levelled off to some exâ€" tent.

Waterloo Starts Rabies Clinic In the first 11 months of this â€" year, â€" construction â€" has begun on 183 single family dwellings, two apartment "uildinvs, seven triplexs and 31 duplexes. The Waterloo Board _ of Health has approved the erecâ€" tion of an antiâ€"rabies clinic to be set up in Waterloo this month where dogs and cats may be inoculated free of charge. The city‘s medical officer of health, Dr. P. A. Voelker, said the service would probably not cost more than $200 and would be something in return for the licence fees collected _ each year. The service has the approval of local veterinarians and will be available for pets of Waterâ€" loo ra~idents only. Dr. Voelker felt that the free clinic would be one way of protecting people. If all dogs and cats have been inâ€" oculated then there is less chance of a person contracting rabies, he said. He reminded board menvbers that Waterloo has a bylaw against allowing dogs to run at large.
