Tires were slashed in a tire manufacturing parking lot and a number of hydrants were opened. Large aims were carted away, not fences were strung across roads, stop signs were torn down. This type of nonsense not only indicates considerable strength on the part of those taking part. but tho shows a complete lack _of_ intelligence. Police Ire inclined to get worked up each year over damage done at Halloween and then forget the whole thing without a proper investigation. Things have been carried too far this year and it is up to the arm in! the law to keep swinging till they come along with those respgnsible. J.H.S. WATERLOO RETAIL SEC- TION received in addition this week when Joe Forwell, form- erly a sales representative with an ice cream cpmpany, opened his F'orweli's Super Variety and Snack Bar on the pre- mises once operated as the Hacienda. Joe says the college stu- dents and folks who lave in north Waterloo are really tak. ine, to his novelty store and he is sending out an invitation for the rest of Waterloo to come and have a look. A number of stores have lo- cated in the north end of the city in the past few years, seemingly disproving the gen- erally held opinion that re- tailers never would set up shop in that area. J.H.S . IF You. ARE WONDERING where Hearth Radio disap- peared to, look across the road to the Chronicle building and you will find them occurring one of the front rooms. Actually, Hearth had very little choice as to where he was going to locate. Being un- der the same edict as Snyder Furniture and not having a lease, he was ordered to move at the end of October. Trouble was. there was no place to move to. Not one store on King Street was available. That is the reason you will find Hearth Radio in the Chronicle building. . .at least until a store becomes vacant and he can get down from his seat on top of a TV set. J.H.S. _ STORY IS GOING AROUND that a Waterloo lady went to her "door on Halloween eve to find only one youngster there. It was a very tiny boy but so cute that she took him in the house so all her family could meet him. ' When he was finally ready to go she went to a dish of oranges, selected the largest and opening the bag in which he carried the treats he was collecting. dropped the orange in on top. - - __ _ The boy opened the bag for a look.

He also stated that his particular surprise was the fact places the size of Water- too and Galt had not accepted. $2M! Awarded To Hurt Student The secretary-manager of the Waterloo Chamber of Com- merce. C. N. Hall, said all major Waterloo industries were notified of Mr. Home’s offer. "The fact he didn't get I hearty response indicated a lack of interest." he said. A damage claim in Supreme Court Monday ended in settle ment of $2,500 on behalf of Carolyn Janet Bauman w. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dr vie F. Bauman, 226 Bridgeport Rd., Waterloo. A car driven by Daniel Cur. rie, of RR. 2, Waterloo hit her on Aug. 9, 1958 near Bridgeport. She is now attend- ing college in Indiana. A five-inch scar below the collar bone which was broken, a deformity of the bone, and a cut on her thigh were re- sults of the mishap. $410 for medical expenses are included in the $2,500, which will be held by the court until Miss Bauman is 21. Boy Scouts Get New Rulinz The Boy Scout's Association has banned door to door sell- ing by it's members effective January l, 1961. The execu- tive committee for the North Waterloo District has made the ruling and placed the res- ponsibility for obtaining suffi- cient funds on the individual group committees. While door to door selling is forbidden a number of alternate methods for raising funds have been suggested with emphasis on selling of service rather than competing with commercial enterprises.

Canada's BOWLING PARTY MM Subdivisions litter Most Building lots I the Waterloo Planning Board refuses to meet down- town mer'ehnts request for a postponement of a section of the Proposed bylaw controlL ing store signs. these business- men are prepared to take their tight to City Council. The main concern is over a section aimed at restricting overhead Walter Scheifele. Waterloo building inspector. has report- ed that building lots, other than those in subdivisions. are scarce in Waterloo. “You may find the odd small one in the older sections of the city - but generally. speaking. there are none". he said. Subdividers control the market on building lots. This means a person wanting to build a home in Waterloo will have to pay about $2.000 more for his lot, because subdivid- ers must prepay all services in subdivisions. Sewers. road base, pavements, water lines, drains, curbs. gutters. street signs, and even trees are in- cluded in these services. own Bolt Course In Open In 1962 At the present. five sub- divisions are being developed in Waterloo, involving an im- mediate 370 homes. Lot prices. with prepayments, range from $3,000 to $6.500. These deve- lopments are: Glenridge Park on Lincoln road - 149 homes; Beechwood Park in the north- west section of the city . " homes now and eventually 1,200 homes; High Street sub- division. north of Waterloo Collegiate - 37 homes; Maple Heights No. l, in the Somer- set-Lourdes Street section - " homes; Maple Hill acres No. 2, Roosevelt street extension - 54 homes. Sometime after 1962, Water- loo will get an lB-hole golf course. it was announced Sat- urday. The course will be built and operated by Major Hold.. ings Ltd on about 100 acres of land north of Columbia Street in a partially wooded area. ad- jacent to the University of Waterloo campus and Beech- wood Park subdivision. Abe Weibe, president of Major Holdings said "the golf course will be a continuation of Uni- versity of Waterloo landscapr ing". "There is detinitcly a need for an extra course in view of the rise in population and greater interest in golfing", said Mr. Wcibe. Toronto golf course design- ers have examined the are. and engineering studies on the development will begin in the Laurel Creek and a nine- acre wooded area null he left in their natural states. Also in the plans is a modern club. house. This course will be the third in the twin cities. al- though the first in Waterloo. Beechwood Park Golf and Country Club and University Heights Golf and Country Club are included in proposed mm- cs for the_..course. wueAéEBnmio.

He is acting on be- half of King Street merchants on this matter. "We would like this section of the bylaw postponed for two or three years until the impact of the new. Waterloo shopping square can be gaug- ed," reported Mr. Townsend. In a directors' vote, it was decided to support the views of merchants in their negotia- tions with the planners. Next month a joint meeting of the board and' King Street store owners will be held. The mer- chants will appeal to city council if the planning board remains adamant in its pro posals.
