' - -. feâ€" ^ a CEYLON MAN HAS SPLENDID KNITTING RECORD Lamplighters Almost Gone Edgeley Hazard Knitted For The Red Cross (By Ceylon Reporter The Village of Ceylon has a very industrious person, by the name oi Edgeley L. Hazard, who has been knitting for the Red Cross, besides his ufeual daily work. Since 1942, he has knit the following: 1 toque; 3 turtle neck tuck-ins; 1 pair of whole mitts; 8 pair of 2-way mitts; 1 sea- man's scarf, 72 inchefe long; 4 plain knitted scarves; 17 helmets; 2 sweaters, with v-necks; 3 turtle- neck sweaters, with Sleeves; 25 pair of gloves; 2 pair of seaman's socks; 1 pair of seaman's long stocking; 1 pair of alternative seaman's long stockings; 55 pair of service socks; he ha^ knit one or more of every- thing in the Red Cross Knitting Book. Edgeley also does customs knitting, which is an example of his good work. We hope the splendid work may be carried on for a length of time by our village citizen. It is said that there are only forty lamplighters left in London. Eng- land, and that this winter is the first since 1938 in which they are doing their old-time job of going round every ewening at dusk and lighting separately each of the ten per cent of London's street gas lamps that still have to be operated by hand â€" the rest are lit by mech- anized clock control. In day^ gone by the lamplighter was thought to be rather a romantic figure; he was popular with the boys and girls, who would sometimes go with him on his rounds, listening to his storiefe end watching with in- terest as he turned on each lamp and made a small circle of soft light on the cobbled street. This the lamplighter did in the days before gas-lighting by placing hi^ ladder against the lamp p^«tr^HnAing up to light the oil lamip inside it. That is why a few old-fashioned lamp- posts are seen to havo a bar stick- ing out beneath the lamip, declared The Children's Newspaper. Later, the lamplighter discarded his ladder and carried a short pole with which he switches on the ga'i of a lamp burning an "incandescent mantle.'' The forty lamplighters of London may soon give up their archaic work, but they are not afraid of being unemployed a's they will hive plenty of work to do in keeping the street lamps in working order.

With the increase in the numiber being discharged of late and the large number scheduled to be return- ing during the month of January, it is expected that many more will be registering for Employment- Office Staff in respect to creating jobs for these dischargees and some good re- sults have been attained. All em- ployers are asked to contact the Em- ployment Office and information will be given to them regarding the type of persons registered for employ- ment. There are skilled, semi-Skillea and unskilled veterans seeking em- ployment and anxious "to get that job." Wife: Well dear, I'll meet you at the Biltraore at twelve for lunch.

The snow plough went through on Sunday, keeping the roads in good shape for traffic. There wa's no church service here Sunday afternoon, owing to the cold stormy weather. There have been quite a lot of logs coming into the mill here the past few weeks, and looks as though they may have a good stock in by spring. Pte. Nelson Wil'son of Markdale spent a few days with his sister. Mrs. G^rge Akitt and Mr. Akitt. A number from here attended the funeral of the late John Foster which took place in Flesherton Mon- day afternoon. Deceased was a resi- den here for some twelve years when he was manager for the Durham Furniture Co. He was highly respec- ted by a wide circle of friends who will learn with deep regret of his passing. Our Sincere sympathy is extended to the family in their ber- eavement.

Right now it must be filed under "Future" but it's part of us as Canadians to want to discover for ourselves ^what the rest of the world is like â€" to plan for that "some day," when we'll take a trip! That's why it must be part of our planning now, to make sure such pleasant things as trip.s are possible in the post-war world. And they'll be possible only »f we /igf>t against inflation â€" fight now to keep Canada's dollar worth a full dollar! Why is NOW so important? Be- cause NOW civilian goods are scarce, money is plentiful. NOW is the time we must guard against paying more than things are worth â€" against black markets â€" against buying more than we need, or goods we don't need! NOW is the time we must support rationing and price controls! Up to the present, we've kept our dollar sound. And we can continue to do so if we keep up a strong, steady fight against inflation! If we fail in this fight, prices will rise. Wages will never quite catch up. Soon you'll pay, perhaps a dollar for a quarter's worth of goods! And that means your dollar is worth only a quarter! That's inflation. And after inflation, comes de- pression. Depression means neither you nor anyone else in Canada will have trips. You'll be lucky if you have a job! So, for our own sakes, for the sake of returned men, for our children, let's never relax our struggle to keep Canada's dollar worth a Ml dollar! PuUSihtJiyTHV.
