4 Waterloo Chronicle, Thursday, January 6, 1972 The coming year will be significant for Waterâ€" loo in several respects, including economic and political. s e _ One of the most important tasks for Waterloo residents will be preparing for regional governâ€" ment which will probably be implemented Janâ€" uary 1, 1973. There will be an election late in the year and Waterloo‘s representatives to the reâ€" gional council will probably be determined then. If the people are to be assured the best repreâ€" sentation possible (and an effective voice in reâ€" gional affairs), they must elect those with a regional awareness as well as a concern for Waterloo‘s interests. And the people must learn of the permanent changes which will be brought on by regional government and which will affect the city‘s resiâ€" dents (e.g. regional police force, probability of increased taxes). There must be ruch discusâ€" sion in the coming year among the people and between the people and their elected repreâ€" sentatives now on council in order that we may best prepare ourselves for this basic change. Another big change in the city will be the orâ€" ganization of a new public transit system. The study on this project is presently being carried out and now is the time for taxpayers to make their opinions known either to the study team or, again, to members of council. The only way to ensure the best system is to become involved in the decisionâ€"making. Economically, Waterloo can possibly look forâ€" ward to having at least one major industry and one or two shopping centers begun this year. Maâ€" yor Meston hinted at this when he said Monday night he hoped to be able to announce in the near future the creation of many new jobs due to new facilities being planned. 10 years ago The City of Waterloo beâ€" gan its new year in rented offices on the second floor of the Waterloo Square ofâ€" fice building. According to mayor James Bauer, the city will be renting space for 10 years, until the proâ€" posed civic square is built at the corner of Erb and Alâ€" bert. the site of old city hall. s 20 years ago Herbert N. Klaehn, veâ€" teran member of the Waâ€" terloo arena commission, announced his resignation. Mr. Klaehn had served on the commission since it was established â€" by Waterloo council in 1946. Alderman â€" Vincent Alâ€" viano would like to see the Waterloo market remain where it is (near the corner of Erb and Albert) and be "revitalized"‘. Mayor Jaâ€" mes Bauer suggested reâ€" moval of the old building would open up more parking spaces for stores in that part of the city and for Waâ€" terloo library patrons. Damage was estimated at $2,500 when flames from a welding torch ignited gasoline or oil on a tractor in Clemmer‘s welding and repair _ shop _ on â€" Regina Street South. The Waterloo fire _ department _ doused the blaze with help from employees.

"Now we have a secâ€" ond generation growing up with the idea that even though they marry and have children, they‘ll also go to work. And we‘re beginning to see more push from this younger generation to comâ€" pete for the better jobs. by Alison Goddard Women who get to the top vocationally share certain characteristics, _ according to Eli Ginzberg, professor of economics at the Columâ€" bia University School of Business, and noted authorâ€" ity on womanpower. Among these characteristics are: 1) â€" psychological â€" support from their parents, particâ€" ularly their Afathers; 2) a "practical" college edâ€" ucation ; 3) cooperation from their husbands; and 4) a willingness to fight for the top jobs. Although their mother‘s work experience does inâ€" fluence their attitude toâ€" ward employment, the proâ€" fessor observes, it‘s the influence of their fathers which spurs these girls on to higher vocational goals. "As far as getting the betâ€" ter jobs is concerned, the girls with positive and supâ€" portive fathers have an easâ€" ier time of it," he reports. Eli Ginzberg notes the role of their husbands is also critical. ‘‘Many young women with children are now beginning to hold highâ€"level managerâ€" ial and scientific jobs, but the ones who coordinate their home and professional lives best," he says, "are those who have the cooperaâ€" tion of their husbands." Moving Ahead Professor Ginzberg conâ€" tends that many young womâ€" en limit their own job posâ€" sibilities by the courses they take in college. They don‘t realize, he comments, that a liberal arts curricâ€" ulum equips them primarily for teaching. They‘d do much better, he believes, if they "acquired control of"" mathematics, ecanomics or _ statistics. _ ‘"Any girl who masters calculus," he declares, "is a step ahead these days, in our increasâ€" ingly technological society .‘ If a woman is to achieve and maintain a high posiâ€" tion in either business or the Matter of Competence Women fight harder to reach top jobs VUAKT Sinshbit Looking back on 1971, I find it contains the year‘s usual melange of the good and evil, the sweet and bitâ€" ter, the laily worm within the luscious apple. l \(! professions, the most imâ€" portant quality she can demâ€" onstrate, according to Proâ€" fessor Ginzberg, is ‘"‘comâ€" petence‘‘ in performance.

I‘ve thought for several years that he nad the best weekly in the country (sorry about that, all you other chaps who turn out firstâ€"class weeklifes), but never got around to telling him. On the other side of the fence, I read an editorial in the â€" Bowmanville Statesâ€" man, an old, established, many times winner of priâ€" zes, written from his hosâ€" pital bed by another old friend, John James. This shook me a bit. Havent seen Don Mcâ€" Cuaig for some years, but we have an old pact. He was in the army and one day was being slightly harassed by Hun .88‘s, a fearsome gun, if ever there was. A flight of Typhoons came over and silenced the Jerry guns. We met at a newsâ€" paper convention and he promised me he‘d buy me the biggest and best dinner I could eat every time we got together. because I‘d been a Typhoon pilot. And he still sends an annual invitaâ€" tion to come trout fishing in the Ottawa Valley, the naâ€" tal place of many great men, like us.

I don‘t want to spoil a mood, or appear frivolous, but we had the whole thing distilled in our Christmas vacation with two cats. We have a fat, neutered lady called Pip, bequeathâ€" ed to us by Kim when she left home. Well, Pip has established the fact that she is queen of her own domain.
