HOW THE DEVIL does a police chief apply an accepted law "with â€" discretion" _ unless he wants to get smeared someâ€" where along the line? Waterloo‘s Traffic Committee suggested that Waterloo‘s threeâ€" hour parking bylaw be enforced by city police but also wanted the chief to use "discretion" in using it. This type of public as ininity could be sheer dynamite and infers the chief should be judge and jury on every parkâ€" ing ticket. This one man cannot do and be completely unbiased. From what we have seen both Waterloo and Kitchener police are reasonably discreet in their issuing of tickets. We can‘t see where anyone has been perâ€" secuted and if they had, we wonâ€" der if the traffic committee would take the responsibility. Parking time, checked by a policeman on foot, is a much more lenient thing than that checked by a oneâ€"armed bandit called a parking meter. We have a feeling every motorist knows this and if he does get clipped with a ticket, then there is little to protest. Frankly, it is the feeling of this column that the traffic comâ€" mittee is putting the chief over the proverbial barrel. With such a small force, it is unlikely he needs any help in this direction.

Actually, these women are not being overpaid for the amount of work they do. Housewives may feel that some of the quesâ€" tions asked is no persons busiâ€" ness but their own.

The rate of pay is set at the number of names obtained and not at so much per hour or day.

She points out that in talking to a lot of néighbours, she finds the same feeling, that these woâ€" men should not be employed by the government when there are any number of men out of work. Well, she was such a nice woâ€" man that we thought we should find out what really is behind using women to do the enumerâ€" ating. Here‘s what we have been told. Its true that women are used in this effort, in fact over 80 percent of the enumerators are women. It is, according to our source of information, a comâ€" mon practice, for the good and simple reason that few men will accept the job. Waterioo objects to women enuâ€" merators on the Federal election ONE VERY NICE LADY in lice â€"officer takes x 15 J.HS Ivan Bradly, Waterloo _ PUC manager, has announced a twenâ€" tyâ€"six per cent price eut for electrical heating units in Waterâ€" loo. The cut was announced to combet the competition of "other heating sources." Mr. Bradiey said the cut "was a tremendous step" towards comâ€" petition with other â€" heating sources. ‘‘This step will also combat rumours and wild stories of the high costs of electrical heat. We can go out now and do a good selling job." he said. Commenting on the raise in standards, Dr. W. J. Villaume said, ‘"Waterloo University Colâ€" lege will continue in its policy of admitting all students qualiâ€" Standards for admission itc the University College of Water loo Lutheran University haw been raised, starting next sem ester. This has been indicatec by information just released in the University‘s calendar. Stu dents applying at the Univer sity College next year will find that an average of sixty per cent "is preferred" in eight or nine Grade Thirteen papers. The calendar further states that "Applicants whose average is less than sixty per cent, but not below fiftyâ€"five per cent, sion The admission standard last year was fifty per cent. This is the minimum passing grade on the required eight or nine Grade Thirteen papers. The institution was one of the very few in Onâ€" tario that did not haveâ€" an enâ€" trance*standard of at least sixty per cent. MORE APPLICATIONS Because of the large number of applications that were turned away last year, the standard was raised. It is expected that even larger numbers of applications will occur this year. s Kitcherer Fire Chief Ken Putâ€" man told the committee he would not allow the club to conâ€" tinue to operate under present conditions "as long as I‘m Fire Chief â€" and if Council doesn‘t back me up, the responsibility ;esu"on the Aldermen‘s shoulâ€" ers. 1.

Owner Moishe Borenstein was told last Monday night by Kitchâ€" ener‘s Fire and Light Committee that his club was dangerous. Kitchener Alderman Frank lloni- dle as a "firetrap, a real menâ€" He pointed out that electrical STANDARDS RAISED be considered for admis COSTS DROP He added, "When I first came iffto theâ€"etub, it was so°di I asked that the electric lights be turned on, not just the canâ€" dles. I was told there were no electric lights, only candlepowâ€" than other forms of heating has many advantages in that there are no maintenance problems or humidity problems. _ heat with electricity, the Hydro Commission has waived the adâ€" ditional $100 charge for underâ€" ground wiring for the new Glenâ€" ridge Drive subdiwision. (Last year‘s council passed a byâ€"law $100 charges in all new subâ€"divâ€" isions was deferred to the next in all new subâ€"divisions.) The greatest service which the college can render to the nation is to offer an excellent liberal education in a Christian environâ€" ment to as many qualified stuâ€" dents as is is possible to admit." He continued, "Students with ‘n average of sixty per cent in it least five Grade Thirteen subâ€" jects (eight or nine papers) are usually able to handle a higher »ducation successfully. For varâ€" ious reasons, students who have an average between fiftyfive and sixty per cent in Grade Thirteen examinations may not have demonstrated their full poâ€" tential under the conditions of personal tension that accompany examinations. They (the applicant?) may be admitted to the college if the admissions board is convinced by the review of their academâ€" ic records, personal interviews and aptitude tests _ that they have the ability to succeed. We feel our responsibility is to probe deeper than resuits of Grade Thirteen papers in these borderâ€" line cases. Experience has shown â€" that granted the individual attention and guidance offered at the colâ€" lege, many borderline students will become first class scholars and go on to pursue post graduâ€" ate studies with distinction. If a candle tipped over, the Chief pointed out, there would be panic. The Chief would not say whether the new premises of the club which will be located in a basement on King St. E. would be approved. He said that he would inspect the premises before deciding. Speaking to a Chronicle reâ€" porter last night, _ Alderman Frank Hoddle said, "There is only one possible objective con: clusion to come to. The place definately is a fire hazard. I went down to this place and looked it over carefully. There were no metal containers, just inflammable cardboard _ boxes for cigarettes. It was quite dirty and messy; it looked like it needâ€" ed a good cleaning." There might be greater poten tial than is evident. ‘ation." *SHÂ¥4.

The Kitchenerâ€"Waterâ€" loo Division of Girl Guides of Canada have started their camâ€" paign for funds to develop and equip Camp Conestoga, near the Conestoga Dam. The Guides‘ ob jective is $75,000. The donated 42 acre campsite has at present anly two small buildings and is only partially developed because of the lack of funds. It has been termed "hopelessly inadequate" for the three thousand Guides and Brownies in this area. There are no swimming facilities and no access to the dam site. The fund drive is weing launâ€" ched to construct a swimming pool, â€" hospital, . administration buildings, four Guide buildings and equipment for the Brownie building.

She pointed out that too many people react to the word "comâ€" munism" with fear, not realizing that the communists are human beings, too. She said Communism differs from country to country. Dr. Hockin explained the various beâ€" lief‘s and idiologies of the Comâ€" munists, e.g., class struggle and classes society traced from the writings of Karl Marx. "Some of Marx‘s theories, such as a graduated income tax and an inheiritance tax were adopted in from a spectacular $50,000 blaze were the cause of a small fire at The Four Wells recreation park, King St. N. Firemen spent about an hour putting out the blaze.

He has interviewed ovâ€" er eighty firms so far. The surâ€" vey is expected to be finished this June. Mr. Burk said he was highly impressed with the numâ€" ber of plants that are planning to expand. He said it was a healthy sign and tends to prove that in this area industry is keeping pace with population growth. Other information shows that only two firms reported having space to rent, and that only one firm has actually shrunk in size since the last industrial survey five were involved at the other end? It really annoys me when these people simply refuse to stop and get out of the way." Mr. Bauer then read from Section 79 of the Highway Trafâ€" fic Act Section 79 deals with the laying of charges in this particâ€" ular instance. n.fiuo:bz::uofmuw stating t an emergency vehicle approaches from the rear of another vehicle, the vehicle in front must pull over to the curb and let the emergency veâ€" hicle pass.
