New tourist guide gets down to work Eaton, a resident of Waâ€" terloo for. 15 years, was hired by the Chamber to act as its first fullâ€"time counseâ€" lor for the summer. A Question: where would a tourist go to see wild orâ€" chids in Waterloo? Answer: to ‘the Laurel Creek Conservation Area or the Waterloo Public Liâ€" brary, but only to see the flowers in books and photos. Helen May Eaton disâ€" covered this after being on the job only two weeks as the new travel counselor with the Waterioo Chamber of Commerce. *‘That‘s ‘the ‘strangest request I‘ve had so far,"" she said in an interview. ‘*I couldn‘t help with informaâ€" tion so I got in touch with Laurel Creek and learned they (wild orchids) don‘t grow in this area." Her responsibilities inâ€" clude answering tourism inâ€" quiries, providing maps of the city, planning travel itineraries. and structuring Eaton doesn‘t limit her assistance to those interestâ€" ed in the city of Waterloo alone but will also help tourists interested in the province or even the rest of the country. Her pet project at the moâ€" ment is assembling what ‘I had one fellow come in because he wanted to know the mileage to Prince Edâ€" ward Island. That was an easy one. If I can‘t help them though, I‘ll find soâ€" meone who can," she said. People are encouraged to bring old pictures and skatâ€" es. Before the . reunion starts, all old staff are invitâ€" ed to Lion‘s pool to reminisâ€" ce and swim. Because of the lack of reâ€" cords of the staff back to the opening of the pool, people are encouraged to phone Chris Barker at 579â€"1020 or Charlie Ernst 885â€"6350 beâ€" fore July 25 if they have not been notified. This year, the two Waâ€" terloo Pools are having their second. annual pool staff reunion on Saturday, August 16, 1980, in Rink in the Park at 8:00 p.m. ¢ They are hoping to gather all past pool staffs of both Lions and Moses Springer Pools and hope to contact workers from as far back as 1952 when the pool was first opened. The cost for the evening is $4 for both lunch and dancing. 4 By Stewart Sutheriand Pool reunion she calls a "profile of Waâ€" terloo"‘. She is gathering inâ€" formation, photographs, reâ€" cipes and children‘s art from Waterloo to provide tourists with a taste of the city‘s "‘flavor‘"‘. **We want to have some kind of a scrapbook here that will show tourists the spirit of Waterloo in writing and photographs. It may help them feel more comâ€" fortable in the area,‘‘ she said. Helen May Eaton discusses one of the many local and national travel broâ€" chures at the Waterloo Chamber of Commerce‘s chalet on Erb St., with Chamber employees Mary Sue Fitzpatrick (left) and Judy Fountain. Eaton admits her work is more like a hobby to her than a job because she enjoys meeting and talking with people. T "It‘s a great way to spend a summer,"‘ she said.
