Donald Snider, finance chairman said that in view of Kitchener‘s rejection, he would urge Waterloo to welcome the curlers on its own and he sugâ€" gested a $60.00 ad.

Instead of being a liability, the Waterloo Market could be one of our greatest downtown assets. Lets have a little more effort in building it up and not so much in pulling it apart. Waterloo Market could be built into the same type of atâ€" traction accorded the market in Kitchener. Right now it has everything on its side with all the new stores locating in the immediate area, for the lady of the house can do her market shopping and buy the rest of her needs too without travelling more than a few blocks. Votes Against Ad We have a feeling that some people in Waterloo think there are only five or six vendors selling at Waterloo market. Such is very evidently not the case and a full selection is available to those who will visit this marâ€" ket place. Count the number of vendors listed in the ad. and these are not all. Can you imagine closâ€" ing up a market place that has this number of people interested in selling country products to city folk? in this issue of the Waterloo Chronicle you will find an adâ€" vertisement sponsored by these vendors. The thought of country cream, country â€" sausage â€" and cheese and all the other deliâ€" cacies would make a wooden Indian drool. The OWRC were also said to have used Waterloo as a "guiena pi&g" forcing the city to accept conditions that were too costly and not efficient enough to justâ€" ify the expenditure.
