Waterloo’s biggest business, bringing the most visi- tors to the city, is its universities. This fact has led the young developers, two of whom have been attending the University of Waterloo, to pick a site near the institu- tions and to plan their facilities to appeal to professors and businessmen who visit there. .. Now that the Victoria weekend has more or less of- ficially heralded the holiday season, more and vmore people will be spending weekends and evenings at beach and resort areas. f Waterloo, in the colloquial, is sometimes referred to gs Kitchener’s bedroom-or one of several. his sur- prising that, as far as the travelling public is concerned, Kitchener is Waterloo’s bedroom. Visitors here must (rose the line to sleep in one of the several modern motels in or around Kitchener. Although there have bee! ments which have as yet " pears about to get a motel, Three young men have formulated ambitious plans University Avenue West a, extensive and they are tall construction this fall. . The three, Jeff V. Rams The three, Jeff V. Ramsbottom, J. Wayne Gartehoro and Ron G. Trbovich, say they have conducted a survey which has indicated a market tor such; vtnture. . . This finding is hardly surprising. Waterloo must be unique among communities of any size in its lack of modern motel accommodation for the travelling public. Tourists and business travellers must be as surprised to find no motel here as they are to find no parking meters on our main street. a It is true that Waterloo has three hotels in its down- town area, but they are of rather ancient vintage and no one, in all fairness, is liable to suggest that they offer what today's well heeled traveller is looking for in overnight accommodation. A modern motel for this city is long overdue. If the project is carried forth on the level proposed by the developers, it cannot but be an asset to the community. The exodus to these places will also mark the begin- ning of the rising drowning toll which accompanies this recreation each year, and ceases only at the end of the swimming season. Last year, 1,186 Canadians died in drowning acci- dents, according to statistics released recently by the Canadian Red Cross Society. Many of these were un- neeessary---if indeed they all weren't. Lack of adult supervision Was responsible for the deaths of 212 children, of whom 159 were under six years of age. More than 360 adults died in boating ac- oidents. Many of these would have lived if they had been wearing life jackets. r By law, all power and sail boats must carry one government-approved life jacket for each passenger on board. But this doesn't compel anyone to wear one and the wisdom of doing it is blithely ignored. The first week in June has been designated Water Safety Week, in an effort to make people everywhere conscious of the dangers and to encourage them to learn the precautions that can prevent tragedy. - hi, apt slogan for the-week is Think, Don't Sink. It couldn't be put more pithily. Sir: We have a complaint to register about the present municipal tax system in Waterloo. From past experience, we feel that it would be useless to contact city hall. We particularly object to the mill rate paid for total mu- nicipal taxes and total education taxes. It seems fantastic that edu.. cation outweighs the total munici- pal taxes. We live across from Empire school and the waste that occurs there in the use of equipment and workmanship in disgraceful. There are a great many senior citizens in Waterloo.
