At this point I have the advantage."‘ _ When questioned as to whether she was pleased with the method by which she was elected she stated that the only fair way is to go to the public. _ _ _ O _ ‘‘Financially we couldn‘t do it," she said:. ‘"It would have had to run just like an aldermanic election." . Mrs. Carroll believed residents would be uninterested in another election after just pulling through a provincial one but she found it hard campaigning amongst only the aldermen. "How do you go about campaigning with seven or eight people who already know your strengths and weaknesses? I often wished it (the election) was going to the people."‘ Mrs. Carroll believes council voted as democratically as it could under the circumstances. She was pleased that the position was not simply handed down to the top vote getter. She doesn‘t believe any job should be handed down, particularly the position of mayor. What qualities does the mayor believe she has to offer the city of Waterloo? "I believe I have the necessary leadership," she said. "I am a very open person and I can communicate with others. I particularly enjoy public speaking and public reâ€" lations and it doesn‘t bother me to stand up in front of a group gnd give a speech." Mrs. Carroll said decision making is something which has never bothered her in the past. She said fellow counâ€" cillors have always known where she stood on an issue and it is her intention that this will continue in the future. _ Because she is a woman had no bearing on the fact that she wanted to pursue a political career and has so far been successful. â€" _ "I believe I am looked at as an individual because that is the way I view myself,"" said Mrs. Carroll.

"I viewed the regional government taking over all planning but it seems to me they are doing theâ€"nitty gritty stuff that should be left to the municipalities. That area is heavily in review." Mrs. Carroll hopes a very positive reaction will come out of the review. The mayor is a great promoter of residents associations and she views them as a real asset to the city. Mrs. Carroll refers to Waterloo‘s senior citizen‘s proâ€" grams as "terrific‘‘. She believes that in the area of senior citizens there is more coâ€"operation between Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo than in any other area. She said there is a constant flow of senior citizens between the city centres. Senior Citizen housing is a completely different matter. Mrs. Carroll sees a big need here. She said there is no housing available which falls between the category of nursing homes and individual unsupervised apartments. "The age of citizen input is here to stay," she said. ‘"‘We will see more rather than less and I am very open to this." * * She would like to see a residence where senior citizens can have their own private apartment or share a room with a friend and still be accessible to medical facilities, shopâ€" ping and banking facilities. * _ The young people are also being neglected in the sense that the city lacks organized programs. . S _ _ ‘"The facilities are there but you just can‘t hand a youth a basketball and say here go play,‘"‘ she said. ‘‘We need more intense organization which is fun but has some meanâ€" ing." Mrs. Carroll would like to see more facilities for indiâ€" vidual sports. People are becoming conscious of physical fitness and Mrs. Carroll would like to see more tennis courts providing the funding is adequate. During the next 18 months Mrs. Carroll intends to keep the doors of her office open to the public. In the fall she is thinking of scheduling open hours where citizens can comt to her with their problems and expect to be heard with a sympathetic ear. â€" "I am pl:oud to be the first woman mayor of Waterloo," she said.
