Present stores in Waterloo are excellent, but a wider selection for th ladies who like to shop, is needed.

Many of the merchants have zd they would stay open "If others did s0" but many of them also said they would have no part in starting such & proceedure. The time anything construcâ€" tive will be done is of course a matter for much conjecture. However, fact that the idea has not died as in former years, should help the feelings While we have been taking @ dig at those who originally made plans for construction of the dams, we really didn‘t think they would give up the project without more of a fight than so far displayed. for flood control. others want water held in the dams all year around. Those where water will be impounded on a permanent basis will no doubt be stocked with fish and will then becoras a conservaâ€" structed that they will serve only the flood cause. A few farmers object to them being kept filled with water other RIGHT FROM THE TOP of the list, we get the informaâ€" tion that the local dam issue is far from dead and that plans are even now in a formation stage to save the building of these flood preventers from becoming a dead issue.

And he hopes, too, to meet Marilyn Bell when he goes to Toronto because of her work in helping crippled children to swim. The oldest of three children of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McDonâ€" ald of 373 Thayer Avenue, Haâ€" milton, Sandy was born in Victoriaville, Quebec, when his dad was with the Royal Canadian Air Force. When he was five and after his family moved to Hamilton he conâ€" tracted polio which put him in the hosptal for a year and a half, and now wears a high hip brace. Sandy hopes to meet Harry Lumley, goalie of the Toronto Maple Leafs, at that dinner and that very wish reveals the kind of a lad who becomes the ninth boy to be chosen to repâ€" resent Ontario‘s handicapped voungsters during the sale of the Faster Seals which fiâ€" nances the program of treatâ€" ment and training directed by the Society. Sandy has never admitted that polio prevented him from doing anything. As symbol of the nearly 9,â€" 000 children who benefit from the work of the Ontario So clety for Crippled Children, Alexander "Sandy" McDonald, pupil of Onteora School, is looking forward to being chief guest at the Sports Celebrity dinner, February 17th, which opens the annual sale of Easter Seals. A cheery 11â€"yearâ€"old youngâ€" ster who has worn a cripple‘s hip brace since he was stricken by polio aix years ago, yet has triumphed over his handicap to become goaltender of his school‘s hockey team, will be Ontario‘s "Timmy" for 19§5.
