Motherhood is important RESERYQQ E01? RELIGION It is quite likely Ald. Henry understands the position of his fellow aldermen through private talks. Having no knowledge of such talks and so far seeing no indication from council Mon- day night that it is interested in controlling de- velopment it becomes harder to avoid the as- sumption that this' council just doesn't care how Waterloo develops. Springer served 10 years in all. with two four year terms and one term of two years The second longest term was served by James Bauer who was mayor for SIX years from 1960 to l965 inclusive Mayor Don Meston is now appr"oach- ing that record The residents though may rest assured though. Ald. Henry is doing the job he was elected to do. George Randall. Christian Kumpf. William Snider. and George Moore each served twnce as mayor of Waterloo and each served a total of either three or four years The cancer of covetousness is eating away at the heart of the home. Even Christianeouples find it hard to believe that Moses Springer holds the record for length of service as the Reeve and Mayor of Waterloo. In the words of scripture, "good mothers" are "keepers at home." in a society cursed with absentee mothers here is a text that should be written in red. One young father called me once and asked. "How can I get my wife to stay at home and look after our child?" Is it any wonder that our youth lack a sense of security, that husbands art involved in clandestine affairs and many mothers are having nervous breakdowns? The honest answer is that nothing can be done until that mother realizes her responsibility to her offspring, her home and her husband. Moses Springer set record as mayor By Pastor John Shrier Motherhood is no small matter. Napoleon was once asked: what is the greatest need of France?" His answer was. "Good Mothers. IT Maybe what scared council most about what Ald. Henry said was his suggestion that council should be willing to work a little harder to en- sure Waterloo is the type of place the people want it to be. That one word represented the entire extent of the discussion. Not a wonder Aid. Henry didn't bother to persue it any further. If Ald. Henry was not discouraged by coun- cil's reaction or better said, lack of reaction, we were. He obviously spent time looking into the topic and thinking it over. Even a few words such as "I agree with Ald. Henry", would have given us some gauge of council's feelings and would also have served as more of a reward for Ald. Henry's attention to the subject. It is impossible to know what the Waterloo aldermen are thinking about the subject we feel should be the one of the top priority items before them at this time. They may very well have agreed with Ald. Henry or they may even possess some ideas of their own. We'll never know though because no one was giving any- thing away at Monday night's meeting. Or can it perhaps be said that the one lone comment made, represents the feeling of all members of council on the subject? When Ald. Henry wrapped up his little speech Monday night, one alderman leaned back in his chair and said, "So?" Waterloo council has, as Ald. Henry stated, yet to make up its mind on what sort of develop- ment they want for the central area of Waterloo. From Monday night's display it looks as if none of them has bothered to give it a moments thought. Perhaps they think such guidance should be coming from the developers? _ Waterloo aldermen were consistent if noth- ing else in their reaction to Ald. Bob Henry's urgings that council take a stand and keep a careful watch over the development of the central area of Waterloo. Their reaction was nil, their enthusiasm for the idea registered zero and their interest was seemingly non-existan't. 1lllatsrtoo Chtonicle, Wednesday, November 21, 1973 Sof By Bill Moyer WC.

Wasn't that a dandy snow, Mr. Smiley?" We are among the most vulnerable people in the world, when it comes to the vagaries of nature. And I am one of the most vul- nerable people in Canada, when it comes to winter. I hate it, and it hates me. Pakistanis and West Indians who shiver and turn purple every day for six months, must think we are a nation of madmen. when they first arrive in Canada.
