New plans reveal a realistic look at what this shopping centre can mean to the city. And we‘re sure the oldsters in the city will be more than happy to learn that benches and gardens are included in the renovation plans. The removal of the original benches some months ago caused more people to complain than any other single item about the mall. It is obvious that the need for seating space is urgent. From where we sit in our offices along the mall, dozens of people can be seen daily, shifting from leg to leg, waiting in the mall to meet someone else. A place to rest legs tired from shopâ€" ping would be more than appreciated by shoppers using the square. â€" O The inclusion of a "green" belt â€" flowers, grass, gardens â€" will also enhance the atmosphere of the mall which, at present, has a slightly antiseptic appearâ€" ance in its starkness. Mental Health Matters We need these people in Waterloo and let‘s not let one or two exceptions to the rule spoil the chance to own their own homes for dozens of others. Most had been constantly kept in good repair; many were refurbished and dolled up as slick as any suburban home because the owners, whether retired farmers, young marrieds or laborers, took pride in ownership. They were not secondâ€"class citizens. They were good, hardâ€"working, saltâ€"ofâ€"theâ€"earth types who needed a place in the community. And any community can be proud of them. That‘s why the talk of ghettos seems anachronistic and smacks of noseâ€"inâ€"theâ€"air discrimination. We lived in one wartime housing section for more than 10 years and of the 53 homes in the subdivision, only one or two were in poor condition.

Father Baldwin‘s interest in this subject began in downtown Montreal where he was senior asâ€" sistant on the staff of an innerâ€" city parish. It has been further stimulated since coming to the Twin City both through church extension work in connection with the relocation and rebuilding of St. Columba‘s and through conâ€" tacts with members of the departâ€" ment of philosophy and the deâ€" partment of geography and planâ€" ning while doing part time stuâ€" dies at the university. Waterloo Priest Awarded CMHC Looking through the Chronicleâ€" Telegraph dated August 21, 1919, I read the notice of the death of Mr. J. E.

A large lot surrounded by King Street, Seagram Drive,Park Street. and Mt. Hope Street. The South East end of the lot was quite hilly, but most of the rest of the land was covered with large beautiful pine trees. In the center of this lot stood a large home, a driveway leading from King Street to the entrance of the home, and at the rear a small stable in which were kept several beautiful drivâ€" ing horses.

Over the years, ghey have mage Over the Years This of course means nothing to de Gaulle, because Quebec is For him to come to Canada and invite Quebec to take itself out of Confederation, which his remarks amounted to, represents the worst possible kind of interâ€" ference in another country‘s afâ€" fairs. Gen. de Gaulle, the great statesmen tha. he truly is, has nonetheless â€" encountered â€" bitter disappointments recently both at home and abroad. Less easily â€" understood â€" by Canadians, however, was Gen. de Gaulle‘s apparent outright invitaâ€" tion to the people of Quebec to ally themselves with France and take "their destiny in their own hands." But the French Canadian, who has grown from 60,000 to six million since the British conâ€" quest, has led a lonely life in North America. The resurgence of cultural and national pride brought about by de Gaulle‘s visit should be understood in this light. Those who had accused the rest of Canada of fawning coloâ€" nialism toward London now seemâ€" ed to be committing the same adoration of Paris and things Parisian. Shorn of her colonies in Indoâ€" china and Africa, possessing a few scattered islands like Tahiti, Martinique and St. Pierre, modern France sees Quebec as its most formidable creation o uts id e Europe. Apparently missed on Johnson and his followers was the irony that the French Canadians, in the adulation of de Gaulle and things French, were doing the very thing for which they had so long criticized English Canadians. For Quebec premier Daniel Johnson and the separatists and quasiâ€"separatists of French Canaâ€" da, the visit of de Gaulle was a triumphant return of the French race to North America. The visit of Gen. de Gaulle to Canada last week was conceived as the crowning achievement of France‘s overseas rebirth. Of course the name of the Hosâ€" pital has been changed to the Kitchener and Waterloo Hospital which â€" happened when many people thought it was a crazy idea to change the name, Berlin. This reminds me of a story of an inmate in an asylum who was given more freedom than others and was allowed to sit in front of the gate to the building. One day he noticed a man going past quite Mr. Seagram then bought a large lot also covered with large beautiful â€" trees facing â€" Willow Street, on the South side, Allan Street, and at the rear Moore Ave. which at that time was the town limits as the land beyond that was ‘all farm land. Here he built his home and lived in it until he died. My memory album still Shows‘ these pictures of years ago, but now we have a Hospital at one place and a beautiful church at the other. I know of no other person who loved Waterloo more tharn Mr. Seagram. in Ontario and at the pr.eseni time a large addition is being added. This is as i# would have been had the iand been in Waterloo, as it was in Berlin, Mr. Seagram decided not to build as he did not want to live in Berlin, so he donated the land on which to build a Berlin Waterloo Hospital, '_l‘hisn is one of the finest Hospitals by Ray Argyle THIS WEEK AND NEXT lot of Gaulle But most of all, de Gaulle is old. At 76, he remains the man who kept France alive in World War J1, and who restored unity during Algeri ‘s breakaway. But he also is the man who, when much younger, said "old age is a shipwreck." By continuing to oppose British entry into the European Common Market (on the grounds that Britain is not yet sufficiently ‘European‘), Gen. de Gaulle puts even his allies in positions which make it difficult for them to supâ€" port him much longer. In the Far East, France bas had little influence either on Red China (which it recognizes) or the US. presence in Vietnam (which it opposes). In the Middle East, Gen. de Gaulle chose to criticize Israe) despite the overwhelming proâ€" Israeli sentiment in the country. At home, his domestic policies have brought nearâ€"stagnation in the economy and have given rise, for the first time since he asgâ€" sumed office, to genuine opposiâ€" tion to his conservative economic policies. In his relations with Germany, Gen. de Gaulle has been unable to keep Bonn in the junior partâ€" nership of the Frenchâ€"German axis. German insistence on folâ€" lowing American leadership con tinues to frustrate de Gaulle‘s ambitions of leading a European bloc free of U.S. influence. â€" For one thing, the General has neither the energy nor the time to devote to making Quebec a restored French state in America. For all that de Gaulle‘s visit has given an emotional uplift to French separatism, it is unlikely his message will endure much beâ€" yond his visit. Promisins the "Bro‘herly supâ€" port" of old France? Gen. de Gaulle lectured Quebec on its rights and obligations not as Canadians, but as Frenchmen. French and the Frenchness of Quebec is to de Gaulle, paraâ€" mount to the independence of Canada.

The last few days I have heard a lot of talk about what is supâ€" posed to be a new Band Shell in the Waterloo Park, so this mormâ€" ing I went to have a good look at it, and as I approached it I could see no shell but instead it looked like an alligator with its mouth wide open ready to gobble me up.
