in the early hours of Sunday be .one of the largest in this vcity, but also one of the most aoing an excelient job on a blaze that had gained tremen One of the biggest subjects of conversation as related to the fire, is the possibility of it It for some reason lends a sinister meaning to all taik and therefore makes it that much more interesting to those those in the church congregaâ€" tion who will assume the res pensibility of rebuilding. Locâ€" ation of the church has long been a controversial subject for it presents a visual hazard to the motorist on week days and an acute parking problem when services are held. Thouâ€" ght is that some change will have to be made in the locaâ€" tion but no indication has been years ago shooting pigeons alongside this beautiful old building . and admiring the wonderful stained glass winâ€" dows. In fact, I obtained a clearance from the church board before I would take a chance of shooting in the vicâ€" inity. There was always the possibility of dropping a dead pigeon right into the glass and the cost of such a bit of busiâ€" ness made me shudder. All those lovely windows are now of course rubble in the baseâ€" ment of the church. Only ray of sunshine in the whole thing is that both buildâ€" ing and contents were adeâ€" quately covered with insurâ€" ance. Even then, replacement of the building for the amount of insurance could be a pretty rough deal. â€" YOU CAN GET THROUGH every stop light in Waterloo if you regulate your speed to 22 m.p.h., or so we are told by a Waterloo PUC spokesman. He pointed this out after I last week blamed the poor timâ€" ing of these lights on the PUC. He also said that while the PUC do set the lights for timing and that they do mainâ€" tain them, decision of the speed which the lights govern must come from the chief of police. Personally, we ha~ never tried driving through this city at 22 mph. We don‘t think anyone else has either, nor do we think there is any posâ€" sibility of any driver trying to stick to such a speed when the legal limit is 30 mph. Naturally there are going to be drivers who climb over the speed limit a little and therc are going to be the "pokers" who never get up that high on city streets. However, we would think the driver to be considâ€" ered is the average guy. The man with a fairly modern car who can and always does, acâ€" celerate to maximum â€" legal speed from every stop light as are definitely not set for this driver at present, Rather they are timed so that either the daudler or the jackrabbit drivâ€" er can get through them. Drivâ€" ing way under the legal limit or ten miles over, will get you quickly as possible. The lights ing the talking. _ Tough job now will fall on The answer in our opinion is faster timing on these can remember a couple of J.H.S. iceine Vol. 108 . <~> _: ~ ~~.Waterloo, Ontario, Thursday, N er 6, 1959 â€" o0> â€" n ~1~\Waterloo, Ontario, Thursday, November 5, 1959 s Waterloo â€" Council was inâ€" formed of a decision of the arâ€" bitration board that Waterloo firemen have been given a $200 across the board raise and a 4$ hour work week.
