Notes:

FLASH FROM THE PAST: Victoria Park's first 'comfort station'

By Jon Fear

Early visitors to Victoria Park in Kitchener somehow did without public washrooms for the first 14 years of the park's existence.

But in 1910 when the town of Berlin (soon to be renamed Kitchener in 1916) got around to building them, it took pains to do a first-rate job.

"Finest of its Kind in Canada," a Berlin News Record headline said on June 7, 1910. "New Comfort Station One of the Most Complete in Canada," the Berlin Daily Telegraph agreed....The building's architect was Charles Knechtel. He also designed the original Victoria Park pavilion, which was destroyed by fire in 1916.

A newspaper account from 1910 describes the comfort station building as having the shape of a Maltese cross and featuring an interior with terrazzo flooring, enamelled brick walls and an ornamental metal ceiling.

"The building is divided into two compartments, one for men, the other for women. The latter has a large rest room in connection, splendidly equipped with mission furniture, easy chair, rockers and coach and a writing table. The furniture for this is from the Krug factory and cost $85."....

KNECHTEL, Charles (1869-1951), son of Jonas Knechtel of Berlin, was born in Mannheim, Waterloo County, Ont. on 22 November 1869 and attended Central School in Berlin (now Kitchener). He did not receive a formal education in architecture but instead gained his knowledge of design and construction from his father whom he worked with from 1886 until the death of the latter in 1894. Knechtel then opened his own office in Berlin in 1895 and continued to practise there until after 1930. He died in Kitchener on 5 October 1951 (obituary in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, 5 Oct. 1951, 7; inf. Ontario Association of Architects). The Region of Waterloo Archives in Kitchener, Ont. holds a collection of over 800 original drawings by Jonas Knechtel and by Charles Knechtel dating from 1893 to 1943 (Fonds - JCK Coll.).

He received his wish for a peaceful crossing over, in his own bed, surrounded by his family. He will be deeply missed by his dear Lorraine and his children, Karen Snyder, Nan and Doug Cressman and Bev and Donnie Moores. Fred was a wonderful grandpa to Martha Snyder, Sarah and Paul Cressman, Talitha May, Stacey Weber and Charis Moores, as well as his great-grandchildren. Fred's lifelong concern for others found expression in many ways. His teaching career spanned all levels of education, from Suddaby Public School, through many years in Guidance at KCI and into the founding years of Conestoga College. His commitment to others was also demonstrated by community involvement with groups such as Y's Men, Canadian Mental Health Association, Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, Habitat for Humanity, House of Friendship, RAISE and Mennonite Central Committee. Midlife was a time of deepening transformation for Fred. Early retirement also allowed him the freedom to invest more fully in issues of global concern. In the second half of his life, Fred worked for peace through Project Ploughshares, Veterans Against Nuclear Arms and Conscience Canada. Fred's Christian faith, undergirding all he did, was supported over his lifetime by his membership in Zion United Church, K-W Housechurches and Olive Branch Mennonite Church. A memorial service celebrating Fred's life will be held at the Edward R. Good Funeral Home, 171 King St. S., Waterloo, on Saturday, June 11, 2005, at 3 p.m. with Reverend Oz Cole-Arnal officiating. A reception will be held following the service in the Fireside Reception Room of the funeral home. A private family interment has taken place. In Fred's memory, donations may be made to Mennonite Central Committee or Habitat for Humanity, Waterloo Region. Condolences/Donations/Flowers www.edwardrgood.com 745-8445

THE RECORD - Jun. 6, 2005

__________________________

Fred Snyder from Ontario also signed up with the Canadian air force in 1941, went overseas, and served as a radar mechanic. For him the reality of war was restricted in the early years to impersonal blips on a radar screen. But after VE Day he saw the bombed-out German cities and said: 'We moved into Germany and I can recall ... Dueren, a town the size of Kitchener at that time, a beautiful place, but as we approached, it seemed ... it was just a pile of rubble one storey deep ... The stench of the dead, five months later, was sickening. We were bombing very precisely and just slaughtering that whole population. Canadians, British and Americans were doing this! That's when I first sensed that it was sickening on both sides, that we were not better than the Germans." When he set out in 1941 Snyder believed that it was his patriotic duty to serve. But he said later that when a person enlists, `You park your brains at the door and you change overnight ... In the military you don't think, you just follow instructions." After the war, he became a peace activist.
