Telephone 744â€"6364. Some years ago, the Twin Cities‘ first tairport was located on Waterloo‘s doorstep, in the Lexâ€" ington Avenue area. â€" Then the Wâ€"W airport was established, to serve the Golden Triangle area. (In Waterloo, Kitchener and Galt they know Wâ€"W stands for Waterlooâ€"Wellington. In Gueliph they‘ll try to tell you it‘s Wellingtonâ€"Waterloo.) Waterloo lost its own airport, but the improved facilities made the change worthwhile. Now it appears there is a possibility that a major jetâ€"age airport may be built in the Goldâ€" en Triangle area, south of Galt. This would give Waterloo international air facilities within a short driving distance. Years ago, everyone wanted an airport at the doorstep. But now airports, with their jet smoke and noise fallout, plus the everpresent chance of plane "fallout," are no longer considered to be the best of neighbors. There is no lobbying to have the new airport built anywhere near Watâ€" erloo. Toronto International, apparently, is close enough. . Results of a survey announced last week show that although the installation of seatbelts has grown steadily, their use is actually declining. And although highway deaths are not increasâ€" ing significantly, crash injuries are. In most cars, apparently, the seatbelts are simply left lying on the seat or floor. Seatbelts needn‘t be uncomfortable. In fact if properly worn, they can actually make a long trip more bearable by providing support. Statistics have proven that seatbelts can prevent or reduce injury in an auto crash. Unâ€" used, they are a waste of money. For a seatâ€" belt can do nothing if not used. Apparently people just can‘t be bothered, particularly on short trips around town. But, since most driving is in just such short trips, that‘s when accidents occur. Safety authorities believe a good education program is needed. But the facts are well known to all motorists. Just how do you get people to use their heads and use their seatâ€" belus? ~ A patron of the Kitchenâ€" erâ€"Waterloo street railway has complained of the pracâ€" tice of carrying mail from Kitchener to Waterloo on the vehicles. He said it is not only a nuisance but that the mail bags make the seats dirty. 30 YEARS AGO June 13 40 YEARS AGO June 18 Canada needs U.S. tourâ€" ist dollars, A.H.

Harold Wagner has taken us to task for disgracâ€" ing our agricultural ancesâ€" tors last week by calling a pair of oxen a team, when any dude farmer knows the proper term is yoke. We tried not to put our feet any further in our mouth by adâ€" mitting we thought the exâ€" pression referred to the harness. Anyhow, the oxen, yoke They are owned by Robâ€" ert Thomas of Paisley and tip the scales at a tidy 1,750 pounds each. ~last soul on earth to challenâ€" Although the pace at which they travel will be similar to that of the aniâ€" mals used by Waterloo Counâ€" ty settlers to come here in the first place, and later to till their land, the pair seen in the park will be conâ€" trolled in much the same way as a team of horses. The oxen of the founding farmers were fastened toâ€" gether by a yoke (a wooden bar by which they were drawn together at the neck) and the driver walked alongside them. _ And while the oxenâ€"drawn rides will no doubt be aâ€" mong the more novel featurâ€" es of Waterloo Days, there‘s no dearth of other attracâ€" tions to coax residents to the parks and recreation cenâ€" tres Saturday and Sunday. Pony rides, wandering minstrels, art and pottery displays, sports, model boat and aircraft events are all laid on. Even the deer in the wildlife area have obliged to produce some fawn in time to delight the youngsters. It looks like being a real funâ€" filled weekend. Some of the Opportunity for Youth grants are coming in for their fair share of critâ€" icism at all levels. One asâ€" pect of their treatment that has intrigued us from the beginning is the governâ€" ment‘s assessment of what a student should earn weekly. Many of the grants aâ€" warded, if indeed not all, were based on a weekly salâ€" ary of $100 per student for the projected duration of the approved program. If this is an equitable sum for the skills demanded and the enâ€" ergy expended, we‘d be the W@ggg O k a S P | n ®OC cexs | Philomena Rutherford‘s Bits and Pieces tw oper CAE B : us ge it. But the fact remains that the figures do not comâ€" pare fairly with beginning salaries in private business â€"and even when compared with salaries earned by many â€" highlyâ€"competent, qualified persons they will hold their own. If, in fact, the grants are a mite on the generous side, mightn‘t it have been more farâ€"sighted to have allowed $75 or $80, say, as a reasonâ€" able weekly recompense for the majority of untried, unproven projects and use the remaining funds to subâ€" sidize some of the projects which were turned down? At best it would have given gainful employment to hunâ€" dreds of those still facing the summer without a job: At worst it would give the students a more realistic outlook on the stark realities of the working world.
