eulious and a council that would allow it, doesn‘t deserve the name as such. PROTESTS OVER THE RACâ€" KET made by the stock car racers in Bridgeport were reâ€" ceived this week by Waterloo Township council. Its darn near time too. The wonder is that more protests haven‘t been registered and they should have come from people in Kitâ€" chener as well as those living in Bridgeport. | â€" This personal discomfort to the many for the personal gain of a few is completely ridiâ€" We aren‘t sure whether this is the right move or not, but we are rapidly becoming conâ€" vinced that salaries for all civic employees are getting far out of line. As a private citizen, anxious to shop in my own community, I woulid venture the opinion that the new Mall will not only solve many retail problems, but also further the education of a few. There are some of course to whom it will be little less than disastrous, for these won‘t make the effort even now. Ald. Frank Doerner who {irst dug up the integration of the Fire and Police departâ€" ments a couple of weeks ago, said he had ‘been referring to Waterloo forces only and had not even thought of trying to integrate forces of the two cities. POLICE IN WATERLOO while they will receive salary inâ€" creases, will not be brought to the wage level existing on the Kitchener force. There seems little or no just: ification for a city having to come across with salary inâ€" creases every year just beâ€" cause the unions have to make a move to justify their existâ€" ance. Probabilities are that the new Mall will not entirely stop the tendency to trek to Kitchener, but if the merâ€" chants are smart enough to concentrate on their own city and not as they have been doâ€" ing, try to entice people from Kitchener, â€" then the â€" effort should be a real success. WATERLOO COUNCIL THIS WEEK brushed off the idea of studying integration of any part of Waterloo with Kitth ener. Ald. Anna Hughes actâ€" ually did the thumb placing and the balance of council went along with her. We don‘t pretend to be able to see in to the future so we ecan only point to the fact that there is not a big enough selecâ€" tion of stories in downtown Waterloo at the present time, that some of the merchants are indifferent to anything local and the very real fact that preâ€" sently, about eighty percent of the money earned by Waterâ€" loo residents is finding its way to Kitchener. WwE ARE ASKED more and more i# the new shopping Mall will e any appreciatâ€" able difference to Waterloo. Most of these questions come from men in business in Kitâ€" chener, particularly the retail end of it. J.H.S. J.H.S. J.H.S. J.H.S.

Aldermen See Film On Mall Progress Originally, the City had budâ€" geted for $22,000.00 with the idea that a new Cadillac or Pontiac ambulance would be bought. However, in the reâ€" port submitted to Council it stated that the purchase of a newâ€" halfâ€"ton converted panel truck would cost the City no more than $12,000.00. The issue was passed along to the Finance Committee. "SQUIRT LEAGUE" The Waterloo "Squirt" hocâ€" key league declared the Mapic Leafs champions over th: Rangers in a two game, goals toâ€"count series. The Leafs won 30 and 20 on 3 goals by Jerry Forwell and 2 goals by Paul Whitney. The film, in which Mayor Bauer and several of the Aldâ€" ermen starred, howed sections of the building along Caroling Street being torn down by a huge steamâ€"shovel. It also inâ€" cluded shots of the Mayor signing the contract for Torâ€" onto _ Industrials â€" Leaseholds (1957) Company and previews of the new development. In a report prepared for Waterloo and Kitchener City Councils by Mr. Johnson, Kitâ€" chener‘s purchasing _ agent, several new ideas were sugâ€" gested for an ambulance. Mr. Johnson _ recently _ returned from New York City where he thoroughly investigated their ambulance facilities and reâ€" ported that in most hospitals, two ton converted panel trucks were used and found to be very efficient on emergency calls. In his report, he suggested the purchase of such a unit for the Twin Cities. The 15â€"minute colored film was prepared for City Hall files.

Mr. Trapp stated that if he could not convert the building into apartments there was nothing else he could do with it except sell it to the city and even then the city may not want ‘it. He promised to keep the place in shape by planting trees and cleaning up the back yard. No decision was reached and the matter was held for forther study. Mayor Bauer stated that it was a very difficult problem and referred the project to the Industry and City Developâ€" ments Committee for investigaâ€" tion. Mr. Trapp will appear again next Monday night to hear the report of this Comâ€" mittee.
