_ Freund competing _ in world boat races The idea of a dropâ€"in cenâ€" tre for the summer in Waâ€" terloo had been one of the projects Community Serâ€" ies wanted to do over the E few years but never had funds to. The funds were available this year as well as interâ€" ested people with experience in such centres and both combined help put the Blueâ€" vale Drop In centre into action. The centre is open from 6 p.m. until 11 p.m. five nights a week until Aug. 8. The gym areas at Bluevale are open and young people can take advantage of the sports _ equipment, _ play cards or just sit and talk. George Hunsberger of Hemlock Street in Waterloo is a teacher at Bluevale and was just the type of person community services needed to help along the project. John Freund Jr., 311 Braemore Avenue will be Canada‘s representative at the world â€" endurance racing championships for gas powered model boats to be held in Johannesburg South Africa Aug. 23â€"25. Mr. Hunsberger and anâ€" other Bluevale teacher Dave Shaver had taught previousâ€" ly at Forest Heights Colâ€" Extra funds get centre operating _ Mr. Freund qualified for the position since he holds three Canadian records in model boat racing. â€" Radar helps trafffic problem This is the first time an invitation has been extended for Canada to send a reâ€" presentative to the championships. Mr. Freund said he will be one of 12 repreâ€" sentatives, including one from the U.S. present at the races. The type of competition Mr. Freund is entered in is unique to him. It will involve the continual running of his model boat for two hours. The entrant with the most laps completed in that time will be the winner. A report from Waterloo Regional Police was before council committee of the yhole Monday night conâ€" hling the traffic situaâ€" on Dunbar Road. The report said radar equipped vehicles had been placed along the road‘ on July 19. 20. and 23 for various periods oftime, usually over an hour. The average speed recorded varied from 24 to 29 miles an hour and the maximum speed recordâ€" ed from 32 to 46 miles per hour . It is apparent. the report said. that police enforceâ€" ment substantially reduces the number of vehicles exâ€" ceeding the speed limit. The report also suggested that changes not be made conâ€" cerning the stop signs on Norman Street and added that an additional stop on Dunbar would have minimal @ 13, 700 copies delivered by carrier _ Waterloo Chronicle #:##;:# in WATERLOO 118TH YEAR NO. 31 legiate in Kitchener and had helped get the successful drop in centre started there. Mr. Hunsberger said he and Mr. Shaver really beâ€" lieved in the centres to give young people something to do during the summer. The accent of the centre is on physical type activities he said, but added it was not a structure thing nor did they want it to be. At Forest Heights, Mr. Hunsberger said, the cenâ€" tre became geared toward talking rather than physical activities. He said the same thing could happen with Bluevale, but then it didn‘t have to. It would, he said, be what the young people want it to be. ® A student helper has been hired for the one month opâ€" eration of the centre. He is there every evening, to take care of the equipment as well as one of either Mr. Hunsberger, Mr. Shaver or Jim Baird, so there is alâ€" ways an adult and the stuâ€" effect between Norman and John Street. In other business, counâ€" cil committee updated a byâ€" law regulating adequate and suitable heat for rented dwellings. The bylaw states that where a rented or leased dwelling or living accommoâ€" dation is normally heated by or at the expense of the landlord. _ the _ minimum temperature should be 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Since he has never ran his boat for that length of time all at once, Mr. Freund feels he will try to forget about everyone else and just run his boat as best he can. The main point of the race will be to keep the boat running. Mr. Freund said he would be taking duplicates of all his equipment in case something goes wrong. Mr. Freund sees the reason why Canada was invited to send a representative this year as being due to the increased popuâ€" larity in the sport in this country.

An average of 30 young people go there each night. Mr. Hunsberger though feels it has the potential to attract more. One of the problems with it this year is that final approval of the program was not received until after school had let out in June, Ken Pflug, director of community â€" services â€" said $600 had been alloted by his department for the operaâ€" tion of the centre. so knowledge of the centre has had to be by word of mouth. ‘‘There is a need for this type of thing," Mr. Pflug said, ‘"particularly in that area, since there are a fair number of young people there.
