Members of Waterloo Council accompanied by several citizens will again crawl to the Kitchener P.U.C. in an effort to obtain crossâ€" town bus service, a service which was completely unsatisfactory when tried the last time by the same company. The agreement for transportation with the P.UC. was signed under pressure in 1947. At that time the company threatened to cut off transportation on the main street in this city unless council came to terms. No doubt there were even then membersef the civic body which hesitated to sign and only did so on the urging of others. The agreement as drawn up gave Waterloo a share of the profits made by the P.U.C. on the King street run. When it came time to divvy up, the P.U.C. refused and only a court case pried them loose from the $23,000 they owed the city. Waterloo Council knows without going to the P.U.C. that they will have to underwrite any loss incurred in a cross town service by the bus company. They have intimated reluctance to do so, yet they have done nothing to either start a transportation service of their own or to have an outside company come in. While the subsidizing of a cityâ€"owned company would probably come to a neat figure at least for the first year or two, it still would be better than paying out the same amount of money for the type of service pfovided on their last try by the PVC. People cannot be told what they are to do or not to do. If the bus service is really a service, Waterloo residents will use it. If it is as it was the last time, run for the sole purpose of making a pocketâ€" ful for the P.U.C. and without regard for the convenience of the customers, then it will flop again for lack of public support. building too much speed when given some thought. Car marniuffiacturers-have increased the horsepower terrifically in recent years, but there is a good and sound reason other than high top speed. Engineers will tell you that to increase the top speed of present day autos to any appreciative degree, would necessitate a power plant so large and powerful that the average car and average driver couldn‘t handle it. Horsepower is one thing. Speed is another. Horsepower in modern cars is constantly added to as a means of getting through the present day congestion on main roads. It could be the means of saving a man‘s life by giving him the extra power when he neds it It is unlikely to get him into any more actual trouble so far as speed is concerned than would the same make of car in a 1925 model. Editorial Comment â€" 'Speed is not the killer it is represented to be. We hear from every side, "drive slower and live longer", but is it true? Modern highways are constructed so they may be driven over at a good speed in perfect safety. Here the fast driver, if he is capâ€" able, is no hazard. Here the sfowdriver presents the menace and while he may escape any actual accident, he becomes the means of others taking out of the ordinary chances by which accidents occur. Out of every ten drivers involved in fatal accidents, only three are violating the speed law. Probably two out of these three were victims because some lardhead felt that the main highway was the place to go for his Sunday drive . .. at 20 m.p.h. The modern car may have more horsepower than did the older models, but it is safe power if used for the reason it is designed for. l()ther Editors Say (From Christian As far as we know, there is r be trained in Montana for work But one at least is training himse be trained in Montana for work traditional to them in Switzerland. But one at least is training himself. A subzero snowstorm in the Whitefish area recently left a stranger in town stranded and unable to rouse anyone at the only house he saw. But there was an outsize dog kennel there and the man crawled in and spent the night cuddled up to a St. Bernard called Peter Pan Now Peter Pan is not the sort of dog to welcome strangers ordinarilyâ€"he won‘t let anyone but the family near his domain. What unaccustomed thoughts did this episode awaken* Did he recail his mother‘s tales of how dogs searched the snow for lost travelers? Did a onceâ€"keen ambition to perform a rescue stir again that night? More like it was a case of fear and ferocity giving way to the demand of the moment. The man needed shelter; the dog gave it. Frequently animals and birds ordinarily wary of people have sought their help in emergency. There was a wild fawn which waited hopefully on the edge of a forest fire when a car stopped. The driver picked him up. unresisting, and drove him to safety. A duckling. beating frantically against a high Thames River tide to rejoin its family, only lost headway. So it paddled to the bank, ran to the feet of two interested watchers, and cheeped imperatively. The woman picked it up and felt it nestle confidently in her hand as she carried it along sufficiently far above the duck family for the tide‘s flow to carry it back. Then she set it in the water again, and it darted off, back to its mother‘s side. Such instances are proof that there is a fundamental harmony beâ€" tween men and the animal kingdom, a harmony which breaks through when distrust and fear are wiped out. We are glad of Peter Pan‘s reminder that this is also a twoâ€"way street of helpfulness. (From The Monitor) Seventeen of the presidents of 28 giltâ€"edged corporations of the United States are in their sixties. Four are in the seventies, two in the eighties, and five in the fifties Fifteen receive annual compensation exceeding $100,000 a year The smallest compensation reported is $48,750, and the largest is $303,816 With four exceptions, the corporations paid dividends through the depressions What does all this mean? To Sales Management, the magazine that dug up the information, it means that for executives "life begins at forty". and that they are at their prime in the sixties. \ Tips on Touring Recent comment by a politician that car manufacturers are ding too much speed into their product becomes ridiculous amemmmemam By COFO! 1O «mmmmmnand Women‘s Travel Authority o If you‘re the driâ€" ver of a car, you‘re ef# responsible for the P comfort _ of _ your C passengers as well as for their safety. i " d Here‘s how to keep < your back â€" seat \ companions happy: 1.
