1 (Continued from page 1) regulations chose Mr. Melnick, Robert Lawson of the Kâ€"mart store and Keith Elliott of the Woolco store as their spokesmen. a The Wateriloo Chronicle, Wednesday, August 2, 1967 Mr. Melnick, the main speaker, said the regulations would: +â€"force the larse discount stores, i which are built on customer convenience, to keep the same hours as small stores. +â€"force people who want to shop at night during the week to shop â€" Thursday and â€" Friday nights. »â€"â€"prevent the discount stores from operating at peak effiâ€" ciency and at optimum shop ping times. 4 Mr. Melnick said the" merâ€" chanis have asked for the bylaw so they won‘t have to face comâ€" petition from the discount stores which offer "quality merchanâ€" dise at lower prices." Ald. Alviano, to the delight of the approximately 50 merchants who attended the meeting, crossâ€" examined Mr. Melnick closely. Mr. Schendel said the Waterâ€" Joo â€" merchants collected 1.500 signatures in favor of a byvlaw, and added that these votes are more significant "because people gave them a lot of thousht beâ€" fore signing their names. They knew they were voting themselâ€" ves out of night shopping." He asked why Mr. Melnick thought the discount _ stores couldn‘t compete if everyone had to keep the same hours. COUNCIL DEFERS He said the regulations would mean that retailers would have nc incentive to adapt to changing pretail conditions. He came armed with 2500 pelitions, 2.225 of them in favor of no regulations. He said he had left another 4.000 in the lobby. "That‘s really what they‘re after." he told council. He said the bylaw would also rule out parttime workers such as teenâ€" acers and housewives who want t> supplement the family income. "People want to shop at and on Saturday." The Apprenticeship and Tradesmen‘s Qualification Act, 1964 requires journeymen in the Plumbing, Steamfitting and Sheetâ€" metal trades to obtain Certificates of Qualification by October 1st, 1967. * â€" Important announcement for plumbers, steamfitters and sheetmetal workers Tradesmen who have not already applied for their initial Certiâ€" ficates of Qualification should do so as soon as possible. Applications should be forwarded to: nisht 74 Victoria Street Toronto 1Â¥A, Ontario ONTARIO DEPARTMENT OF LABOUR INDUSTRIAL TRAINING BRANCH COUNCILLORS Other Waterloo aldermen had questioned the wisdom of enterâ€" ing the plan because of the amount of administrative work involved and because they felt the liens would be passed on to prospective buyers in inflated prices. Mr. Melnick said he was rot asking that they all keep the same hours. "They can stay open if they want to. We just don‘t want them telling us that we can‘t stay open when we wan‘ to." (Continued from page 1) their municipal taxes, up to a province will reimburse the inâ€" dividuals after the municipality has collected the taxes in full. Senior citizens must register a lien against their property equal to the amount of the tax rebate, and this lien must be paid when the property changes hands. No interest is charged. Ald. Alviano also asked why they stay open on religious holiâ€" days "with no regards for peopâ€" le‘s beliefs." Kitchener approved the plan two weeks ago. The plan comes into effect in Waterloo on January 1. Mr. Melnick said his store arâ€" rives at their business hours ough reaction from the pubâ€" ic." "If there were public sentiâ€" i\l against our being open, we would and do close." Mr. Lawson said Kâ€"mart stores are leading retailers in the Unitâ€" ed States in pressing for holiday in answer to a repeated quesâ€" tion from Mr. Rigby, both Mr. Melnick and Mr. Lawson said twice that their stores would never open on Sunday. Those voting in favor of the deferral were Aldermen Harold Wagner, Alviano and Henderson. Those voting against were the mayor, Ald. Harold Paikin and Ald. Russell Ledger. Ald. Komâ€" ninek. chairman, voted for the deferral. Fewer Farms But Acreage Up The largest declines in farm numbers, over 26 per cent in New Brunswick, alone, were registerâ€" ed in the Atlantic and the Cenâ€" tral provinces of Ontario â€" and Quebec and were accompanied in each case by reductions in acreâ€" age. Latest census figures for the year 1966 show that while the number of farms in Canada has slipped 10.5 per cent, acreage has increased by almost one per cent. The National Film Board took four blueâ€"ribbon awards at the American Film Festival in New York in a comnetition .embracâ€" ing all films d‘stributed in the United States. The winning NFB films were Paddle to the Scea, No Reason to Stay. Kenojuak, and Buster Keaton Rides Asain. Above average rainfall in the north of Scotland last year may not have pleased our Scotsmen, but it kept the Scottish Hydroâ€" Electric Board happy. The extra rain helped the board make a profit instead of a loss in 1966. It‘s annual report showed a 5.3 per cent increase in the amount of electricity sold. Increases in acreage In the four western provinces over the fiveâ€" year period, however, offset these losss. NEW â€"PLANT (Continued from page 1) Guelph St. The Kevco plant, opâ€" erated by William Weiler and John Nosalik, has moved to largâ€" er quarters in Kitchener. Censusfarms are defined | as agricultural holdings of one acre or more with sales of agricultural products during the year of $50 or more. < The sheet motal firm is adâ€" vertising for experienced sheet metal workers. NFB WINS AWARDS MORE RAIN FALLS ‘‘Ontario mothers now can get their infants immunized against red measles at an earlier age than was previously possible beâ€" cause of the development of a killed measles vaccine," writes Dr. J. S. Bell in Health, the Health League of Canada‘s magaâ€" zine. Since 1961, measles has reâ€" placed poliomyelitis, as the numâ€" ber one cause of death among the communicable diseases in Canada. The kiled measles vaccine is contained in a "quint‘ (fiveâ€"inâ€" one) shot and can now be given to three months old infants. For the past three years a live measles vaccine was available to private physicians. However; this vaccine couldn‘t be given to inâ€" fants under nine months since the child‘s blood took this long to lose the protective‘ antibodies against measles it obtained from the mother‘s klood. The quintuple (5 in 1) vaccine, the first ever made, incorporates the killed vaccine against red measles or rubeola with polioâ€" myelitis and whooping cough vaccines and diptheria and teâ€" tanus toxoids. & The Ontario Department of CONESTOGA COLLEGE of APPLIED ARTS and TECHNOLOGY invites the attention and inâ€" terest of citizens, students, and organizations in the counties of Huron, Perth, Wellington and Waterloo.

Other provinces aiso have measles preâ€" vention programs. The vaccine is not yet available to private phyâ€" In April, the Ontario Depart meat of Health launched a two part inoculation program, both free of charge. The first part is for infants who will receive the "quint‘"‘ vaccine. The second im volves children beginning school in September 1967 who wiH reâ€" ceive a dose of live measles vaccine. S1C)1aDS "The overall result in 1967 of the twoâ€"part program will be the protection of chitdren in the first year of life when the most seriâ€" ous complications occur, and of susceptible â€" children _ attending school for the first time," writes Dr. Bell. Protection for both groups will be extended to the next age level each year the program is in opâ€" eration. ‘""‘Therefore, ak children up to 10 should be protected from red measles by 1972," says Dr. Bell, Epiemiology Chief â€"in the On tario health department.
