She yelled. I dropped in her vitâ€" amins. She yelled. I found a small jar of bananas and, to be on the safe side, another of peaches. She yelled. I did this all with one hand, holding her and jiggling her with the other arm. Then in the confusion I put too much of the warm formula into the pablum. Wahâ€"hâ€"h. However, nothing to that â€" I just added more pablum. Now it was too thick. I used almost the whole botâ€" tle of formula before it seemed right. I had heated bottles before, for my own kids, long ago. Nothing to that. However I did not recall anybody saying how much pablum I should give her, so I just poured some out of the box into her dish. She filled the air with her outâ€" raged bellows. I picked her up again. It didn‘t help, but I carâ€" ried her around anyway, yelling. I put the baby into her high chair. That was my first mistake. Apparently this child felt that the instant her behind hit the high chair, she should eat. But I had nothing ready. I changed her trousers, puncturâ€" ing my thunb in the process, and took her out to the kitchen, where the cat stretched and opened one eye and then snapped both open and watched with keen interest from then on. I rose, put on a dressing gown, and tiptoed out with my wife still sleeping. The baby stopped crying when she saw me. ‘"Hello, Baby," I said confiedntly. ‘"You are in for an unforgettable experience. I am about to give you your breakâ€" fast."" She just goggled at me, brightâ€"eyed. Things went okay in the evenâ€" ing. When I ran into a thorny prob lem, I could ask advice, But about six the next morning I heard a tiny cry. To tell the truth, I have always been rather lofty about things like looking after babies. I always conâ€" tend that it‘s like riding a bicycleâ€" once you‘ve learned,+you don‘t have to practice. Then, not long: ago, we underâ€" took to look after a baby, just for a day and night. But the trouble was, my wife developed a severe case of the ‘flu a few hours after we had taken charge of the baby, and had to stay at a distance so she wouldn‘t pass it on.

The final Wahâ€"hâ€"hâ€"h came to a gurgling halt as I dipped the spoon in sqgme fruit, and then into the pablum, and placed it into the opâ€" en mouth. The only time she cried from then on was when I was slow at organizing another spoonful. I got a lot on her face, but she didn‘t seem to mind that even when I was scraping if off.

You emphasize â€" incorrectly, I think â€" that sending expensive brochures to young students is a waste of tourism promotion funds. In fact I can think of few more fruitful ways to excite a young person, and probably her family and her school class, about Watâ€" erloo. On next year‘s vacation she will be anxious that the famâ€" ily stop here; she will know someâ€" thing about the city; she may reâ€" turn many times. She is no riskâ€" ier a prospect than anyone else to whom expensive tourist literature is sent. I have just read your editorial on selfâ€"motivation in education, which was reprinted in the Onâ€" tario department of education pubâ€" lication, New Dimensions. It inâ€" terests me both because I am conâ€" cerned with education and because I am spending the summer in Watâ€" erloo (as a summer student of the University of Waterloo). With both these aspects in mind, I should like to comment on what you | Readers‘ letters to the editor Day or Evening iW If you have any comments on these observations, I should be grateful for a chance to hear them. CHRIS REDMOND City bus routes and timetables; location of churches; shopping centres; railroad station and bus terminal; taxis; public parks and stadiums. I do not like to write such a letâ€" ter without some constructive sugâ€" gestion. Let me mention, then, some specific things which could be put in a brochure and made avâ€" ailable to summer visitors to Kitâ€" chenerâ€"Waterloo. I have found out some of these things myself, and given up on ever knowing many of the others. And if there is such a brochure (there may be) I wish I knew where to get it. In shortâ€"yes, these "adults who are employed doing something other than researching school projects‘‘ should be doing their proper job. But I think their propâ€" er job can be well done, in part, by spreading the word about Watâ€" erloo to the very young as well as the middleâ€"aged. And I think their proper job, strictly interpreted, is not being very well done. If one is a lover of flowers, there are four beauty spots they should visit â€" Carling‘s, King erable trial and error. The university, which may have some small responsgibility in the matter, made absolutely no efâ€" fort to provide any information about Waterloo, even a map of the city. That I acquired from the Kitchener Chamber of Commerce after hunting at length for its wellâ€" hidden office (there is a tourist inâ€" formation booth downtown, closed and boarded up, and bearing an incorrect sign giving a new loâ€" cation). I acquired the map, I say, and it is a poor and incomâ€" plete map. What other informaâ€" tion I have managed to acquire about Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo â€" has been through great effort, many 10â€"cent phone calls, and considâ€" Rocket and Holiday travel trailers and truckâ€"campers have been carefully designed from chassis to roof to suit every need of experienced trailerites.

There is no valid reason for such unnecessary cruelty, and absolutely no reason for our govâ€" ernments to be so far behind othâ€" er countries which have abolished legâ€"hold traps many years ago. I urge people to please write to their members of parliament urging them to instigate legislaâ€" tion to outlaw these legâ€"hold traps as soon as possible. The Canadian government must outlaw this crime against our furâ€" bearing creatures. â€" There are humane traps availâ€" able to trappers now and more reâ€" search is in progress to develop others. An animal is in many cases trapped up to a period of two weeks. Sometimes, it even sucâ€" ceeds in chewing off its own paw and crawls away to die. I am referring to the barbaric and atrocious legâ€"hold trap, which holds its victim by the paw until the animal dies, either by starvaâ€" tion or freezing. As a member of the Canadian association for humane trapping, I would like to draw to the attenâ€" tion of your readers the horrible suffering that is being inflicted on furâ€"bearing animals in this provâ€" ince and all across Canada. The Waterloo Park staff is doing a good job. Keep up the good work. I am proud to be a citizen of this city. Here‘s hoping others feel the same. and William Streets; Waterloo Horticultural Society‘s plot at King and William Streets and Memorial Gardens on Erb Street and Waterloo Park.
