good reason for this, for the places selling liquor by the drink remained open as usual. Good Friday, recognized as a holiday by everyone, had also been taken, so there was no good reason for closing again the first day of the week. Of course the liquor stores aren‘t alone in their holiday taking. The banks all close, why no one has been able to fizure out and even the law offices take holidays. IT ALWAYS AMUSES ME the way government offices and the like take advantage of every pretext to have a holiâ€" day. Because Monday was Easter Monday, the liquor store in both Waterloo and Kitchener closed up tight. There was no When that great and grac ious day comes that newspaper or other media people are abl« to take these unnccessary holidays, then we can figure this country has gone to pot about as far as it can. JJLS. HAD A CHAP IN HERE from Hamilton and he claimed it took him longer to drive from Galt to Waterloo than it did from Mamilton to Gailt. Reason of course is the stupid method of policing and the highway setup between Galt and this city, where alâ€" most every foot of the roal is a slow speed zone and where the cops sit around in their cruisers like a bunch of vultures. Preston is particularly bad in this respect although Kitch: ener is getting worse all the time, as is the county. These roads were supposed ly built to facilitate rapid movement of traffic out of the cities and onto the highways. Because a few people who must have known the traffic problem existed when â€" they built in that section, hollered for a slow zone, the police without using any intelligence at all, went along with the idea. While we don‘t blame thein for avoiding costly repairs at this time of year, they might at least assume responsibility for the condition of their roads. Instead, they post both ends of the bad sections with "Closed _ to _ Traffic‘ _ signs, knowing full well that motorâ€" ists must use this section of the road or detour for many miles over equally impassable Even though the poor suckâ€" er that owns the steering wheel he holds in his hands, pays all the expenses of keepâ€" ing up these deadly section of road, he gets little or no conâ€" sideration. In fact he gets no attention at all, except from some cop who got out of the wrong side of his bed. The main road between here and Princeton looks as though it had been bombed every day for a week with the most modâ€" ern explosives. Its so bad that travelling more than 10 miles per hour is inviting disaster. Now they have traffic tied up so tightly that getting out of the city of Kitchener is a nightmare and the highway is no better. A few idiots driving at 15 m.p.h. doesn‘t help mat ters, but of course the police do not bother these people even though they are breaking the speed laws just as surely as the man travelling at 75 m.p.h. * JS ONE OF THE SNEAKIEST ways of getting out of responâ€" sibility is employed by the council of Oxford Township. course is the of policing and setup â€" between city, where alâ€" _ ie Virlerbc Gércnizcle No Job Problem For Waterioo Students Mennonites Seek College Residence The familiar problem _ of jobs for university engineerâ€" ing students has been reverâ€" sed this year. Due to Water loo‘s coâ€"operative engineering course â€" there are more jobs than students. . Three months academic stu dies occupy the first three months and then the students receive practical engineeriny experience with industry for the next three months. A great number of univerâ€" sity students will shortly be looking for summer employâ€" ment. However, University of Waterloo engineering stuâ€" dents will not have this proâ€" blem. This routine is followed throughout the fiveâ€"year courâ€" se, except for two weeks holiâ€" days. The conductor replied: "Yes, just sit down and keep quiet and no one wilil notiee you." Waterloo started this coâ€"opâ€" erative engineering course in 1957 with an initial enrollment of 74 students. University _ officials _ expect that 10 times this number wili enroll in the fall for all years of the course. "Conductor, do you allow drunken people to ride on this car?" It has been announced that the Mennonites are among the five church groups seeking to establish residences on th» University of Waterloo campâ€" us. The others are Lutheran, Anglican, United and Roman Catholic. President of the University, J. G. Hagey, made the announâ€" cement in a talk to the Kâ€"W Sales and Advertising Club early this week. Mr. Hagey told the club that between 1965 and 1970 an $18,000,000 _ construction proâ€" gram was envisaged at the uniâ€" versity. More than $3,000,000 has been spent on construction to date. It was announced that the board of governors of the uniâ€" versity is â€" considering _ the final plans for a new engineerâ€" ing building that is expected to be open in September of this year. Mr. Hagey, in pointing ou! the benefits that accrued to the Twin Cities from having the â€"university â€" located here, said it was responsible for bringing in between $2,000.000 and $3,000,000 in outside capiâ€" ta1l into local circulation. CHRONICLE QUIPS An old lady, on a streetcar, had been very offended by the presence of a drunken man. Finally she walked to the front of the car and complained: All branches of the Mennonâ€" ite church, he said, are coâ€" operating in the attempt to found a residence on the Waterloo campus.
