The recent completion of a Young Canada Works project called Economic Waterloo is a good example. As a result, Economic Waterloo was a smashing success and has provided some important interma- tion about the economic structure and climate of the city. Five students were employed under the au- spices of the program. The majority of them worked for the Waterloo Chamber of Commerce white the remainder worked for the City planning department. Wisely. the chamber of commerce plans to use some of the information gathered to sell Waterloo to businesses and industries considering moving into the city. That could well be the most important use for the reams of information being made avai- lable thanks to the study team. When a person or organization inquires about Waterloo's economic situation, detailed and thorough data on relevant topics can be presented. This is a far better system than simply telling them what a lovely city we live in. Another possible use for the information may be the formulation of a downtown plan. We en- courage such a plan in hopes that it will lend some needed consistency to further development and ex- pansion of Waterloo's downtown core. When completed. a master plan could be used to determine land on policies. zoning requirements and numerous other important considerations. The people responsible for all the information are the five students who spent their summer visit- ing Waterloo businesses and industries and or- ganizing the great volume of data gathered. - For {heir eathusiasm, and honest interest in the economics of the city. those students deserve a great deal of credit. l We have been friends since 1955 I have been privileged to know personally one of our greatest Canadians, We have corresponded and telephoned each other over the past twenty-four years He was a very honest man of the highest integrity, He had a deep and unswerving concern for the ordinary person the little man This is quite evident in his legislation which culminated in the Canadian Bill of Rights Canada has be come a nation of different nationalities, religions, lan- guages, needs and racial origins and he strongly felt that the rights and liberties of each mdwidual must always be preserved Last summer iJuIy M, 1978) my family visited With Mr fhefenbaker at his home on 115 Landsdowne Road South m Rockellffe Park and we conversed on many topical Issues (vistt to China. his dental work, unity of Canada, his uphill battles in life. an address at Wilfrid Laurier University and his servwe to Canadians and the world) He showed son Joey and daughter Jessie his writing desk which was owned by Sir John A Macdonald He autographed the Canadian Bill of Rights with personal greetings for them He shoWed Joey his medals and loved when they walked around in his house He gave Betty and myself personal mvutatmns to the Scot- tish Clans Gathering In Cambridge tGalt) called the Wa, terloo Regional Police Highland Games At this mammoth gathering on July 29. 1978 sponsored by the Police Associa- tion, he was honoured with the highest accolade of the Clans His personal friends Arthur Maloney and Dr Reyn- aud also attended this function I remember when he was ieader of the Opposition he invit- ed me to his House of Commons office and while we engaged in conversation his barber was cutting his hair On another occasion as Prime Minister he gave me a tour in the House of Commons where I have seen him in action as one of Canada's foremost parliamentarians Letters to the editor Diet will be missed Puritan!
