Now there are city erected signs stating that you may not take any of the sand or the city will prosecute you, How do you like that for apples. This whole beautiful wood land was left in trust for a park. Do you know what it is today? A residential area of course. the bush is full of houses. Do you know how this came about when it was sup- posed to be kept for a place If you own a shotgun, are careful and would like to come out and shoot with the rest of us, call this office and leave your name and address. The shells are free and there is no limit on the number of starl- ings you may kill. In fact, the more you do kill, the happier everyone will be. J.H.S. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS. cars have been pulling up alongside Breithaupts bush and indulgent fathers have been filling pails and buckets with sand for Junior's sand If between the whole bunch of them they have moved a ton of sand, then we are being liberal. Probably half a ton would be closer to the truth. As you know, it has been our policy to stake out shooters over as much of the city " we have men to cover. This is the secret of starting eradication. With enough shooters, they ean't get their feet down any- where without being blasted. It doesn't take many of these shoots to clean them out. . 111.3. THERE WILL BE A STARL. ING SHOOT this week. Be- came of short notice, it may he on a rather restricted scale.

The shells, purchased each year by the city to keep the starlings from making you leave home, have now arrived. They will be expected through the barrels of Shotguns within the next few days and will get rid of these birds either through killing them or drie in; them out to some other roosting spot. Flying the British flag over Candaian soil is nothing but the political pandering of a few who haven't the courage or intelligence to think for themselves. It has ever been this way, but Canadians don't have to put up with it. Lets have our own flag on the top of the mast head, or at least what passes for our flag, until someone has the guts to adopt one that is actually Canadian. noel-l occasions.

It has so many sagging sewers crossing the road, you never know whether you will stay on the road or end up with the kids and trees on someones front lawn. . ALD. FRANK WERNER made a good point this week when he questioned the suspension of a Waterloo police officer simply because the officer had Same condition exists on a number of other streets. ab though looking in their crystal ball from all angles, no one has been able to find a reason why it should. Well we’ll tell you kiddies it was this away. Once upon a time there were some hungry realtors and they got together with some hungry city fathers and the place where you were supposed to be able to sit an der a tree, now has a house on it. The realtors made a nice chunk of dough out of the scheme and everyone was happy with the whole thing except the average guy who got jipped out of his park and the tree which the original owners had left for him to sit under. That kiddies is the little story about Breithaupt bush, the place where you will get pinched if you fill your lil' pail with any of the city's sand. J.H.S. SEEMS TO US THAT with the work force this city has hang- ing around, something could be done to fill some of the pitch holes that now exist and have been around for some time. _ _ Mr. Brisbin said, "We , probably have to go to mayor with our hats in l hands aim the blues." t 10mm The grant question and me- thods of financing the expan- sion were referred to the tin. ance committee. could go and sit in the shade of a real honest-to-gosh tree. It was a disappointment to the board to learn grants from the provincial government, for the Waterloo Library will re- main the same this year - in- stead of increasing by $1,800. The cost of new furniture and shelving will be included in the $8,000 expenditure. As soon " details on finan, cingr are ironed out the ex~ pansion will be started. Charles E.

CHRONICLE QUIP The K.-W. Family Service Bureau has said with the closing of Willow Hall there in need for a place locally where a dozen children could be housed at I time. Provincial approval for using the building as a home for retarded children has to be mined, before his offer can be seriously considered. The assets of the K/W Orphanage and the future of Willow Hall remains unsettled. Three organizations. one of them a church group and a real estate agent, have made inquiries about buying Willow Hall. The most probable inquiry for the property has come from Peter Vos, who operates the Sunbeam Home for Retarded Children located near the orphanage.

Before felling him with the wounding shot the constable fired several warning shots and ordered him to stop. The youth was 'admitted to K-W Hospital and kept under police guard until he was re- leased on bail over the week- end. SEVERAL SHOTS FIRID Aid. Frank boomer was up in arms in Waterloo Council Tuesday night over the “un- called for" suspension of Chr stable Archie MacDonald of the Waterloo police depart- ment. Constable MacDonald was "suspended pending an investi- gation" on Saturday after he wounded a Kitchener youth when the youth tried to es- cape custody. He added. "It is ridiculous for the government to force communities to spend munici- pal monies on these plebiscit- es. They (the Ontario govern- ment) make all the regulations, A three man committee elected by the students resid- ing in the home will act as liai- son between the residence and the company.
