WHILE WE ARE HAVING a lull in activities, how about council doing something to inâ€" sure a car licensing bureau by the time it is necessary. â€" No real effort has been made to obtain this bureau and we need it. Let‘s stop this nonsense of letting Kitchener have everything the Governâ€" ment has to offer, or at least make the effort. & WATERLOO 1s$ TO HAVE A new post office . . . sometime in the nea{}z:ure. Whether it ends up a subâ€"post office as has been wished by those in Kitchener, depends to a large extent on effort made by Waterloo business and civic heads. If they are satisfied to let Kitchener grab such a lush plumb, then the possibility is there. Waterloo post â€" office is crowded and suggestion from several prominent men is that a mnew Federal building be erected in Waterloo to house not only the post office but other government departments like the Customs office. This would leave Kitchener with the suboffice, a much more intelâ€" in reverse. Waterloo post office is a Grade 12. Kitchener a Grade 13. This means that the small city of Waterloo does enough business to be rated with other city‘s several times its size. In Waterloo proper parking eould be provided for a new Fedetal building and top serâ€" vices given. There is no parkâ€" ing in Kitchener without buildâ€" ing right out on the city limits. A Federal building in Waterâ€" loe could also offer much betâ€" ter service to manufacturers, for it is much closer to a numâ€" ber of large plants than any building could be in Kitchener. This is a soulâ€"searching sort of a deal, but just as surely as Kitchener is out to get all they can, then just as surely some o our own top men should We think if they are going decide that Waterioo is a city worth making an effort for. move than it would be weatherman can‘t Council Gives Two Readings To Special Building Bylaw from the city, to build a tripâ€" lex on a fortyâ€"foot frontage on Graham St. â€" Last month Mr. Morell apâ€" pealed to the Ontario Municiâ€" pal Board and at that time was granted an exemption from m‘ requirements as listed by the Planning Board. Mr. Morell‘s solicitor insisted in his appeal to the OMB the lot was correctâ€" ly zoned for a triplex at the time of purchase, but when Mr. Morell had acquired the deed, the zoning had been chanâ€" ged. A delegation, headed by Mr. F. Hammer, of Graham St. residents said Mr. Morell had broken the law by beginning excavatior before a building Ipermit had been obtained. | Ald. J. Bauer agreed that Mr. Morell had broken the law by beginning excavating withâ€" out a permit but had been stopped. Mr. Bauer suggested The city property committee of Waterloo Council has reâ€" commended the demolition of a cityâ€"owned building at 60 Erb St. West. City treasurer, D. C. Schaeâ€" fer, said the building has been vacant for the past two years, lacks heating, and is in need of major repairs. He said the roof is in poor condition and has caused floodâ€" ing in the building on numer» ous occasions. The City purchased the building some time ago for the possible extension of Caroline Street. It was used for several years by Kist Beverages until two years ago. Presently it is rented on a monthly basis to Harold Dobâ€" bin for the storage of boats. The â€" recommendation _ that the building be torn down in conjunction with the demoliâ€" tion program of the downtown industrial buildings was made by Mr. Schaefer. _ _ â€" The building will be inspectâ€" ed by the committee Saturday Picadilly Club morning. Offer Held In Abeyance Waterloo Council‘s Traffic and Transportation Committee are holding in abeyance an ofâ€" fer for the free erection and maintenance of bus shelters in Waterloo by the Piccadilly Club of Toron‘o. This club is an organization for Canadians to meet old country people in social actiâ€" vities. They were told to apâ€" proach the Kitchener PUC. The letter said the cost of the shelters would be borne by small but dignified advertiseâ€" ments appearing on the shelâ€" ters‘ sides. The shelters would be cream and blue. It was felt the shelters would be of great value to the community as there is nothing worse than standing in the rain or hot sun waiting for a bus. The club‘s services include complete maintenance and closing them in with glass durâ€" Urge Removal Of Shed mflrobjodmbh of a triplex.

Kâ€"W Chiropractors Hold Three Clinics A program of spinal examâ€" inations for school children has been announced by a spokesâ€" man for the Waterlooâ€" Wellingâ€" ton ~Chiropractic Council. These clinics will be sponâ€" sored by the Kitchenerâ€"Water loo Chiropractors in conjuncâ€" tion â€" with the International Chicopractic Association. Time and facilities will be proviged ‘wlthout charge. _ During 1958, centres throughâ€" out Canada and the United States held test programs and found that the number of cases : of spinal abnormality and poor posture in school children were far too many. It was felt that minor defects could easily be prevented or corrected and{ prevent more serious disabilit ies later in life. This year the program was extended to inâ€" clude more centres by coâ€" operation of the local Chiro practic Councils. Examinations without charge will be given in Kitchener and Waterloo from Sept. 21 to Sept. 25 and parents are urgâ€" ed to participate by contacting their own Chiropzactor or call the telephone numbers anâ€" nounced in this newspaper.
