..‘ 4 & 1: 4 The Waterloco Chronicle, Wedricsday, October 25, 1967 Though some factories strive to use existing means of limiting air pollution, far too many operate without a care and add daily to the poisonous filth that, unseen i-md unnoticed, finds its way into my lungs and your ungs. We are not really as fortunate as it appears. It is going to take the provincial government some 18 months, perhaps even longer, to implement legislaâ€" tion. Surely the councils of our twin communities can do something positive in a lot less time. If they cannot find the necessary competent men, then perhaps the universities can. They say they have a deep interest in the communities, and they do have exâ€" tensive research facilities and researchers. Every hour they sit and ineffectively mull over the problem and the air becomes more and more fouled. It is an unseen, insidious danger to us and our children. Waterloo has led the way in many areas of local government, so also has the city of Kitchener â€" I chalâ€" lenge them to lead the way in this deadly matter. Do not rely on Lady Luck in place of a good babyâ€"sitter, childâ€" ren left alone at home could beâ€" come trapped and helpless if fire or some other emergency should strike. Yet, our council says that this is a government probâ€" lem. They say it is a federal government problem, and they say it is a problem for all the world to work on,. Each then sits complacently back and waits for someâ€" one else to make a move. Are we really fortunate in this area? Last Sunday, Mayor Paleczny boasted of all the serâ€" vices that our two close communities coâ€"operate in imâ€" plementing for the benefit of the citizens. Yes, they have done much for their people in many ways, but what have they done about air pollution except talk and pass the buck. _ _If they do, others will willingly and eagerly follow andâ€"We will again be fortunate in this area. Never â€" leave your _ children alone, not even for a few minutes. A study by the National Fire Protection Association shows that one out of every three child fire victims was alone_ and helpless when the fire struck. Dodos, the lJarge extinct birds formerly inhabiting the Islands of Mavritings and Reunion woere called â€"walgvogels, or nauscous birds, by Dutch explorers since no cooking made them palatable. Air pollution is coming more and more to the fore, as a major threat to the health of all people. In some areas this pollution is so strong that it challenges life in all forms. _ At present, we in this area are fortunate. We are not considered a critical area, but we do have problems. Not too many consider them to be of any danger, as a consequence many people tend to poohâ€"pooh any talk of air pollution here,. So far we are fortunate in this area. ~ However, consider Toronto, only about 65 airâ€"miles from here. In that city it is estimated that people inhale 1. Beâ€" sure that babyâ€"sitters have specific instructions in case of fire. These include orders to get "je children outside the inâ€" stant smeoke or gas is smelled, the location of at least two escape routes, and how to get in touch with the tire department, parents, docitor. and police. 2. Keep â€"young â€" children 1iwo and under in constant sight and mind. 3â€" Teach older children how to use and respoet fire. Don‘t forget, they learn boest by your example. 4 Keep your home free of fire hazards by recular inspections. Your Lire department will help in this. a full cup of filth every day. This is considered to be the equivalent of two packages of cigarettes â€" and cigarettes are considered to be extremely dangerous to health in that quantity. How long will we in this area continue to be fortunate? Consider also the Dunnville area, here plants, animals ard even men, women and children are considered to be in real danger. Right now many plants do not proâ€" duce, and the animals can hardly walk in that particular affected area. Gave Bad Your Fire Department aste Lew‘s Views Meet Your Fire Fighter in case of fire.

Seagram‘s distillery of Waterloo was ‘ounded in 1857 and its total assets at time of sale was valued at $3,154,675. Back in 1926, Waterloo‘s popuâ€" lation was 7,093 which was an increase of 304 persons over 1925. At that time the north and west wards received the smallest inâ€" crease, but today the largest inâ€" crease is in these iwo wards. The Ontario Temperance Act, which had been in force since 1916, was dropped Dec. 1, 1926, and government control came into being. The Conservative parâ€" ty was again in power with 76 members out of a total of 112. The whole issue in the clection had been government control verâ€" sus the Temperance Act. E‘ghty members of the newly formed government were pledged to supâ€" port gover. men{ control. By FRED SHINN The Wateroo distillery was sold in November, ©926, to a syndicate headed by the Dohertyâ€"Easson Co. They took over the assets and business of the wellâ€"known Joâ€" seph E. Seagram and Sons Ltd. The then premier himscl{( in February of 192. stated that he bad yet to see the bill in comâ€" pleted form. It was in March of that year that the bill was presented to him and was known as a bill to reguâ€" late and control the sale of liquor in Ontario. The act stated that no liquor may be purchased by anyone without a personal permit. 1t calâ€" led for the appointment of a strong, capable and efficient conâ€" trol board. It stated that brewerâ€" ies and distilleries could sell in the province only under a permit supplied by the board, and furâ€" ther arranged that a official of the board would be placed in every brewery to check on conâ€" signments. The â€" establishment _ of _ retail stores was also in the hands of the board. Tourists or temporary residents of Ontario could obtain an indiâ€" vidual permilt for a period not to exceed â€"one month. _ No liquor could be consumed in a public place. All liquor had to be conâ€" sumed in the residence (or tempâ€" orary residence) of the purchasâ€" er. One could not even drink in his own ~ard. The act provided for a great variety of penalties for offences. The bootlegger goes to jail, a man who sells one bottle ilegally is just as much a bootlegger as the man who sells a whole case.

He told the court that the bottle had been secured from a Waterloo hotel. March 1, 1927 was the date when Edna Herter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Herter beâ€" came the bride of Herbert E., son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Schmidt. The Rev. C. D. Roberts, pastor of St. John‘s Lutheran Church performed the ceremony,. In looking over old files (Mar. 1927) it was interesting to note that the speed limit for cars on the highways was increased from 25 to 35 m.p.h. Also at that time, automobile drivers arrested for driving in a reckless manner could no longer offer the excuse that they had been imbibing poor whisky, for within a very short time the government would be ready to supply the pure arlicle. On May 26, 1927, Mayor W. D. Brill was appointed a dispenser of liquor permits and it was antiâ€" cipated that a store would be opened in Waterloo within a few weeks of that date. In July, 1926, the Ontario Equitable purchased the mill site from Snider Milling. At that time it was the intention to reâ€" move the old mill and erect a modern head office building in keeping with the high prestige and standing of the company. and that would grace the Waterloo main street. In April of that same year, the Ontario Equitable Life and Acâ€" cident Insurance Co. erected a store on a portion of the land next to the railway tracks it was a oneâ€"storey structure with a frontage of 30 feet on King. Proâ€" perty depth was 80 feet. When it was â€"completed in June, Oscar Grosz and Jerry Schl opened a new hardware store. Part of the old mill site was transformed into a beauty spot, When the old mill was reâ€" moved, part of it was moved to the rear facing Erb Street, with a frontage of 110 feet and a depth of land 25 feet wide along the tracks which was usged as a railâ€" way siding.

My dog does lie in a cemetery, but not one just outside Paris, France. Mr. Jones was astonished, while sitting down to breakfast one day, to see an announcement of his own death in the paper. He rang a friend and said "Hello Smith, did you see the announcement of my death in the paper?" "Yes," was The reply, "where are you calling from?" Now that Mr. Good has been elected to represent Waterloo North in the Ontario legislature, let us hope that none of his ofâ€" ficial undertakings will end up underground. FRED SHINN
