_ HISTORICAL INSIGHTS ~ â€"1950§ _ _ n_ Only grade 11 and 12 pupils will be eligible. They must have attended school regularly and have a pass standing. The following news happenings were taken directly out of the Waterloo Chronicle, 1952. Students allowed to leave May 23 for farm work As in other years, certain high school students will be owed to leave school May 23 to work on the farm under direction of the Ontario Labor Service, Ontario Departâ€" ment of Education announced this week. _ _ _ 20 Parked outside Bauer‘s Limited, the twoâ€"tone maroon and grey vehicle boasted a 12 by 24 inch sign on which was crayoned: Will trade this old wreck on a lame horse or a few chickens." Seems pranksters learned that the car was to be sold and hastily erected the billboard during the owner‘s noon hour absence. On returning the prospective seller apparently disagreed with the jester‘s viewpoint and took pains to have the overâ€" sized price tag removed immediately. Pranksters reduce price of Waterloo car A 12â€"yearâ€"old Pontiac was undoubtedly the cheapest car in Waterloo for almost two hours last week â€" but it wasn‘t sold. Effective May 1, water will be most costly in Waterloo. It Dll affect the average domestic consumer to the tune of bout $2.64. . Foreshadowed by a recent adverse financial picture, the rate increase was made Tuesday night at a special meeting of the Waterloo PUC. In wrestling with the problem of getting water operations out of the red, commissioners received six suggested rate schedules. Finally approved was one which bears heaviest on large consumers of water with a lesser effect on domestic users. The rate hike was made with reluctance. The change in the rates will mean Waterloo domestic conâ€" sumers will pay more than their Kitchener colleagues. It will be the first increase to domestic users since 1928. Recent sugg\estions pertaining to parking facilities in Waâ€" terloo have come to the attention of city engineering ofâ€" ficials. A spokesman for the department stated that many were in favor of parking lot facilities throughout the buâ€" siness section, thus eliminating a major parking problem.

As winter approaches lanes surrounding this terriâ€" tory become choked with snow, necessitating removal with Covered with sod plows... Quite a number of Waterloo people are ‘"all in favor‘‘ of parking lots being made into the two cityâ€"owned properties at the corner of King and William Sts. / Also thought beneficial would be the installation of parkâ€" ing meters on these lots. This would eliminate complajnts regarding local business firmns monopolizing valuable parkâ€" ing space for staff vehicles during the day. Many in favor of parking lots at King and William Parking also poses a problem for car owners in this area. Each day, staff employees of Carlings jam cars in the drive adjacent to the brewery and also out onto the street on either side. This creates somewhat of a traffic problem, especially on Sundays when church goers vehicles partially block sections of William and extend on to King Street. Buâ€" siness men also park many of their cars on these streets resulting in more traffic conflagration. A parking lot at Carlings would eliminate these inconveniences, according to the engineer. Traffic Congestion So far the Chronicle has not had reports of any unidenâ€" tified aircraft streaking across the skies at fantastic speeds as was the case in London, Ont., over the weekend. (Londoners claimed seeing a mystery craft streak over the skies in excess of 1,000 miles an hour leaving a vapor trail from horizon to horizon.) Waterlooites, however, are "‘still in the dark"" as to the mysterious appearance of vapor trails here last Friday afâ€" ternoon.‘" The white streaks across the sky seemed to apâ€" pear out of nowhere and in practically no time at all,"" one Waterloo resident pointed out. These trails, like the ones seen at London, appeared from horizon to horizon. They ran north and south. _ Vapor trails puzzle Waterlooites The vapor trails seemed to linger in the same place for several hours before disentrating into the atmosphere. The mystery shrouding the "trails"‘ is that nobody saw or heard any type of craft creating them. The whole process probably took several seconds. - Wateripo Chronicle, Wednesday, Feébruary 14, 1979 â€" Page 9 0 : anc &9’ _ nflfle _~Br U*" co 3 in s\\g‘;fi:fi Fill them out! Send them in!
