So far supermarket managers have just noticed a resigned atâ€" titude among their customers. Mr. Vincent Alviano of Vince‘s IGA says some of his customers are calling sug>> "gold dust" but they seem to be buying more than they ever did. He says when the housewife sees the price going up she thinks the item is scarce and panic buyâ€" ing enters the picture. "Some people even ask me if I am goâ€" ing to get out the jewellers scales to weigh out the sugar;" said Mr. Alviano. Mr. Peter Rempel of Zehr‘s markets, Waterloo, says nis customers have the "there it goes again" attitude when sugâ€" ar prices increase. He says it didn‘t noticeably affect the suâ€" gar sold for home canning or wine making. The manager of a national hour and was leading the Uniâ€" versity of Waterloo counters by almost a thousand. This is, however, more than just another college prank. The ‘‘Numberthon" is to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Asâ€" sociation to whom all donations received during the week be forâ€" warded. The contest is being heid in conjunction with the Homecomâ€" ing Weekends at each university this coming Friday through Sunâ€" day, the high point of which will be the float parade through the Twin â€" Cities on Saturday mornâ€" ing,. followed by the football game between the two univerâ€" sities in the afternoon. Students working in shifts start at one and write successive numâ€" bers, starting at eight a.m. Monâ€" day and going until one p.m. Wednesday. Only one person can write at a time, and the Univerâ€" sity that reaches the highest number by quitting time Friday will be the winners and will have the services of ten members of the losers‘ students‘ council to clean up their campus. The latest report in the Numâ€" berthon is that the Waterloo Lutheran University team was counting at better than 1500 per Dr. Carl Miller, Department of Economics, University of WaterI00 $4y$ sugar prices may have risen due to the poor sugar beet crops in various countries and because of the hurricanes that destroyed much of the sugâ€" ar crop in Cuba and smaller sugâ€" ar producing countries. But he said the situation could be agâ€" gravated by speculators buying up sugar when the prices are low, and selling when prices are high. Dr. M.D. Stewart, Economics and _ Business â€" Administration, Waterloo Lutheran University said the market for sugar in the US is less speculative than in Canada because the Dept. of Agriculture in the United States buys and sells sugar to insulate the market against world price fluctuation. In Canada we work on the theory that competition between sellers works out a fair price, he said. If sugar is not in short supply it looks as if the.consumer is paying a high price for his sweet Two weeks ago in the House of Commons the Opposition parties complained that speculaâ€" tors were helping to drive up the price of sugar and were reaâ€" ping huge profits at the expense of the vublic. e " sterious Case of lle Great Mail Box Robbery oooR . _A Sisicter moystery is unfolding in the western out« _ However the mail boxes are on city Wro WATERLOO, ONMTARIO, WEDNESDAY Young Men‘s Club To Provide Hampers Mr. Fred Snyder, coâ€"ordinator of Guidance Service for Secondâ€" ary Schools for Kitchener and Waterloo was the guest speaker for the evening.

A sigister mystery is unfolding in the western outâ€" gkirts of jour fair city.

You see I feel that if I can only pattern my life after their‘s, then surely I too will be a millionaire. At first glance, it was obvious that the great majority of millionaires had one thing in common. They all came from rich families. This cruel fact hit me hard. I was discouraged. For weeks on end I moped around the house cursing my mother and &4ather, and then I saw it. I was reading the paper, crying over the comics, when down at the bottom of one column I noticed a story about a man who was born pennyless and had made himself a millâ€" ionaire. Well this was for me. I wasn‘t born pennyless but I could soon fix that. I went straight to the bank, withdrew the thirtyâ€"seven dollars and five cents that I had been able to save in the past eightâ€" een years.

Some alderman felt the city had enough parkâ€" land with the enlarged Waterâ€" loo Park, the Moses Springer Park and the Grand River areas. To counter this attitude Mayor Bauer used New York city as an example. "Why in New York there was a real battle to get Central Park â€" â€" and now they wish they had more park land," said the mayor. After further The ratepayers in Waterioo will have an opportunity to vote on the question of Sunday movies on election day Decemâ€" ber 2. At ‘the meeting of City Council Monday night, a motion was passed enabling voters to state if they are in favour of Sunday movies to begin after one o‘clock as required under the Lord‘s Day Act. Members of council heard Mr. J. J. Kelly, Q. C., acting as the solicitor for the owners of the Waterioo theatre, say that the theatre has been closed for many reasons but it might be possible to reâ€"open ‘it on weekends if Sundgy movies were allowed in accordance with provincial regâ€" ulations. ‘"This area is being considered for pay TV but the city of Waterloo will get the best tax revenue by having the theatre back into activity," said Mr. Kelly. Ald. Roy Bauman said if council had turned down a vote on the Sunday sport question it wouldn‘t be fair to institute a piebiscite for Sunday movies. In favour of the motion were Ald. Harold Wagner, Ald. Verâ€" non Bauman and Ald. Neil Harâ€" ris. Opposed to the motion were Ald. Vincent Alviano, Ald. Arâ€" thur Palectny and Ald. Roy Bauman. Council accepted the offer that the additional expensâ€" es incurred by the vote be paid by the owners of the Waterioo theatre.

Council accepted the offer bui the application must go to the committee of adjustment showâ€" ing the plan of the building and the area provided for parking. â€" Since there seems to be some problem of identification of the city of Waterloo when entering on Highway 85, it was suggescâ€" ed to council that ippropriate signboards be erected.

They only deliver the mail along Erb. St. and have no authority to go up Roosevelt. The owner of the property fronted by the line of mail boxes claims that the boxes are on his property, ‘"Nothing", he replied. "Nothing", I repeated incredulously, "What do you mean, nothing?"
