6 law lsm WATERLOO ST. JACOBS ST. CLEMENTS BRIDGEPORT ST. AGATHA HEIDELBERG CONEsTOGO _ Soviet Physicist Visits University of Waterloo The $75 figure had been added by the treasurer, Don Schacfer, for their consideration Since the request did not come from the Jr. Chamber (some wondered if they _ were â€" snubbing _ counci(), there was nothing they could do. Committee members did cover all bets though, because they have set up a "Sundry" account of $684.87 to cover "unexpected" worthy requests. Dr. ~Oraevskii visited the unmâ€" wersity to see firstâ€"hand their acâ€" complishments with the "laser beam." Monday night‘s procedure was but one method of cutting down on the amount of work to be done Saturday during their fullâ€"fledged budget session. AH grants must again be passed at that time. and any one (or all) coutd be cut from the list. That is not all, every item agreed upon at the budget session will then have to be considered at regular council meeting, and M is a possibility that aldermen may again have a change of heart and decide to cut back even furâ€" ther. HARD HEARTED: Yes, some members of council again displayed a hardâ€"heartedâ€" ness by refusing to pass a grant of â€"$750 for the next "SANTA CLAUS PARADE." Some memâ€" bers vividly recalied the uproar that â€"evolved around their preâ€" vious decision not to make a donation to this parade last Christmas â€" but, they pointed oult â€" _ the Junior Chanvher of Commerce did not make a reâ€" quest for a grant, to be considâ€" ered. Those organizations â€" accepted foc grants were: the VON ($7,â€" Before anyone decides to spend any of the money alloted Monday night, they had better develope @ little patience for procedure. The compassion seemed to be in agreceing to assist the finanâ€" Cially troubled Waterloo Sisking Hockey Ciub. After considerable haggling and a mixup in voting procedure, they finally approved a grant of $1.000. Another $250 was also agreed upon to assist the Ontario Curlâ€" ing Championship to be held at the Glembriar Curling Ciub, Mar. 16th. NOT FINAL: The amount found acceptable by the committee, for city largâ€" ess totaled $71,467. While in some instances members of committee appeared to be ruthless in their bid to cut down on expenditures of taxpayers money, they also displayed a little compassion. In considering charitable grants Monday, prior to budget meeting to be held Saturday, finance comâ€" mittee pared $16.001 from reâ€" quests for grants totaling $87.468. While not discounting the possiâ€" bility that the laser may some day be utilized as a weapon, he forsees their greatest value in Such fields as medicine, and comâ€" munications. They will atso, he feels. be of great use as a cutting tool in industry and may some day replace certain mechanical devices. The University of Waterioo makes good use of the laser beam The University of Waterloo played host Thursday and Friday to a young, softâ€"spoken Russian Physicist, Anatolii Nikolaevich ©Oraevskii, division head (since 1965) of the P. N. Lebedev Instiâ€" Qbute of Physics, Moscow. Chop Grants by $16,000 Ronald Forrest, planning direcâ€" tor, was authorized to advertise for two additional planners.

County Area Planning Board Must Move into High Gear Dr. P. C. Eastman, head of the physics department, conducted Dr. Oraevskii on the tour and exâ€" plained the work they were doâ€" ing, the equipment used (much of which they designed and built themselves) and the different types of lasers that they use. The Russian laser expert appeared interested and impressed. to aid their studies of solid matâ€" ter, and have in a very short period become the largest such department of solid state physics in Ontario, if not all Canada. WATERLOO, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1967 Mr. Forrest, in a letier _ to board members, stated that the board must move into high gear in â€"1967.. The most important task facing the board now he said is the formulation, of plans and policies which will not only form the basis for an official county plan. but which will be presented to the local government review commission in order that they might be used as a basis for an economic and efficient reâ€"structâ€" uring of local government in the area In outlining the various functâ€" tions. responsibilites and duties of an area board, (the main one While the board has accomâ€" plished much, he continued, in establishing itself as a cohesive umit, it has done little in the field of regional planning. Alderman Alviano, _ in _ comâ€" menting on the more than $64 million estimates, said "we can‘t really do much about it, we avre just a rubber stamp and this is only a courtesy call that _ you make each year." Steve Menick, chairman of the board. reported that much of the increase was due to higher salâ€" ary demands, increased costs of The estimates on which the 1966 budget was first based was for $4.876,999.50, but actual costs ran to $5,296,097.47. Just rubber stamp: This _ figure _ is _ $955.063.02 higher than the actual costs for 1966. However if the trend of last year continues, this figure will be substantially higher.
