4e many of you with song and froliec, ‘has lost favour in the eyes of at least one Waterloo Roy Hager of 106 Norman St., in Waterloo is convinced that Little Alvin or one of his many brothers or sisters is a far too industrio#ts prankster. In describing Alvin‘s accomâ€" plishments, Roy didn‘t use any cuss words, a feat I would not have been able to duplicate. _ Seems that Roy left his 35 h.p. motor up at his cottage while he and his family returnâ€" ed to Waterloo. Going back to the cottage again, Roy decided it would be nice to get the outâ€" board started and go for a little The idea was good but the motor refused to coâ€"operate. He had used the motor only a few days before, at which time it had worked perfectly. The only answer seemed to be a little mechanical â€" exploration. Our sailor, now turned mechanic made a startling discovery alâ€" most immediately. The air intake pipe, without the function of which your putâ€" put will not put, was plugged solid with Kleenex tissue. The tissue had been lugged all the way from the glove box in the boat, torn into strips and packâ€" ed into the intake pipe almost as solid as though it had been driven in with a hammer and wedge. The judge made his remark at a meeting of the Waterloo Police Commission on Monday. "Police need all the good publicity they can get," the judge said, "and motorists are naturally irritated when stopâ€" ped by a police officer driving a plain, unmarked car." Roy is still not positive which member of Little Alvin‘s famâ€" ily was a partner in the crime, but he is wiring screen across the intake pipe as a precaution against further chipmunk â€"busiâ€" J.H.S. * A MUMBEP OF BICYCLE thefts have occurred at Waterâ€" loo swimming pool this sumâ€" WE EVIDENTLY CAUSED quite a flap last week when we did an article on Water Shortâ€" age and forget to s’x_zcifically mention we ware referring +n mention we were referring to Kitchener. There is no water shortage in Waterloo. 6 WE COMMEND HIGHLY the contention this week by Judge Chariton that all police cars should be well marked as such when on patrol work. Waterloo police have three unmarked cars if you count the small foreign car used by detective Norman Klaehn. However, we have yet to see one of these cruisers lurking up a side street or in some blind alley, a stinking trick employed by many police forâ€" ces and at times by the Provâ€" incial Police. OUR _ WEEKLY _ STARLING shoot has been making conâ€" siderable inroads into the Waterloo population of this dirty bird and many streets are now free of them. Wontinued on Page 2) Ad ALVIN, J.H.S.
