CORBETT News Editor PHONE 703 All Residents Now Moved | To Home In Fairview Lodge A Christmas box that will long be remembered by the residents of Fairview Lodge was handed out Sunday when, thanks to the efforts of volunteer workers from Whitby and other parts of the county, they were moved to the fine new build: ing which was formally opened by Premier Leslie Frost on December 19. 'The moving job was without incident, end while for a time some of the men and women seemed to be confused in the new and spacious building, they soon settled down. Those who were able strolled through the building admiring its many comforts and conveniences. All were shown to their respective quarters and at noon they sat down in the new and very lovely dining room for their first meal. in tae aicernoon the honor of conducting the first Sunday ser- vice in the lodge fell to the Rev. David Marshall, minister of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church. The service was held in the com- fortably appointed lounge room and it was heartening indeed to hear the senior citizens of the county, as they were frequently referred to. at the official opening, sing the { old Christmas carols. The minister delivered a timely Christmas message and all enter- ed into the spirit of the service. Christmas Day the residents had their first Christmas dinner in the new building, and it was in keep- ing with the dinners served up on such occasions for many years by Superintendent Mrs. James Read.

In an interesting letter pub- lished in the Bowmanville Cana- dian Statesman, her father, well known in this district, comments upon why he chose to send his daughter to school here. In part, it reads: "It has been our custom to try to get down to the coast for holi- days once during each, five-year term on the field. Our stations are situated between five and six thousand feet above sea-level This time we came to Lobito for | two reasons: first, to bring our oldest daughter, Helen, to the boat; second, for a change and a rest. Helen finished Grade 8 in the school for missionaries' children at Dondi mission station this May. No high school work in English is available in Angola. After looking into the possibilities of study in different places, we de- cided to take advantage of some scholarship help and the discount offered to missionaries' children at the United Church School in Whit by, Ontario Ladies' College, and send her there, It is fairly central to our family connections. The fact that Dr. Stanley Os- borne, who is principal, has been a warm friend since high school days, entered into the decision. We are pleased to know that the dean of the College is Miss Muriel Sis- sons, who won my admiration and confidence in her first year of teaching, when I was her pupil in fifth form of Bowmanville High School. (Editor's note -- Miss Sis- sons is no longer at the College. Miss Carter is the present Dean.) It isn't easy to send a thirteen- year-old daughter. so far from home withouf prospect of seeing her for three years. But we are thankful for the arrangements that we have been able to make, and for the good family connections and many fine friends whom we have in the part of the world to which she goes." Christmas Tree At Public School Great Success Manchester -- In spite of bad weather the public school concert tree was a great success. Much credit is due Mrs. Samells and her pupils. .

Fertilizer Should Be Bought Early Order and take early delivery of your fertilizer, is the recomemnda- tion of the Ontario Advisory Fer- tilizer Board to farmers in the Province. The Board backs up this suggestion with several good rea- sons for so doing. Theé¥ add that there are also advantages to be gained in buying the high analysis fertilizers. First and foremost they point out that some 350,000 tons of fer- tilizer is used in Ontario annu- ally, and that 75 percent of this volume is used on spring crops. However, the fertilizer manufac- turers only have storage capacitys for about 46 percent of this amount. This makes it impossible for them to meet the demand if it is all concentrated in the spring months. Thus buying at this season of the year is" one way of making sure you are able to get the fertilizer supplies you . require for next spring's planting. Added to this advantage, is the fact that buying now ensures the buyer of getting the particular analysis desired. Cost is also an important, factor to the buyer of fertilizer. To en- courage early purchase the manu- facturers allow a special discount on ,all mixed fertilizers purchased during December and January, At the same time, there have been price advances in some of the in- gredients in these fertilizrs. Buying at this time of year, means avoid- ing - possible price increases later on. Fertilizers purchased now will still be in good physical condition next spring, provided it is stored in a dry place. The Advisory Board also points to the very definite savings which may be made by purchasing the high analysis fertilizers. Since these contain little or no filler, they logue, "Wanted a Housekeeper," Albert Liptay and Jim Webb; recitation, "On Going Home for Christmas," Art Foley. After which all sang "God Save the King." M 'Santa Claus arrived and distrib- uted bags of candy to all the chil- dren and many other presents which brought the evening's en- tertainment to a close. Church service on-Sunday after- noon was very well attended. Rev. Lute gave a Christmas mées- sage. 3,000 Germans Apply Monthly for Canadian Entry A steady flow of Germans and other eligibles in Germany are seeking entrance to Canada at the Canadian immigration centre in Hamburg where some 3,000 applicants are processed each month.

There may be some difficulty in ers to the lower rates of applica- tion per acre for high analysis fertilizers. In such cases the Board suggests using the granular type and seeding it through the grain drill with the grain, However, the Board adds that there is a shortage of some of the highly concentrated ingredients which go into the high analysis fertilizers, Thus supplies of these will be limited, giving another good reason for taking delivery of fer- tilizer soon. ' Issued to U.S. Korean | Army On the Eastern Front, Korea (AP) -- American Marines have been issued a 'Mickey Mouse" boot which they believe eliminates any chance of another winter's epidemic of frostbitten feet. The new rubber boots are so novel that ome of the directions for taking care of them is, "yse ordinary tire patching materials to repair punctures. This is a must." Col. Chester R. Allen, 1st Mar- ine division supply officer, said the "vapor barrier" boots have froved "100 per-cent effective." One complaint has been noted. That is that they are hot and heavy. Marines have dubbed them "Mickey Mouse' boots because of their clodhopper shape, like the cartoon character's feet. The vapor - barrier principle assumes that the combat man's feet will get wet through sweating or. stepping in water. The vapor barrier locks in body - generated heat, and will warm to body tem erature any ice water getting the boot. Army experimenters say they proved this in tests at tempera- tures ranging as low as 20 degrees below zero. Both the army and the marines |suffered heavy losses to frostbite last winter. The vapor barrier boot consists of 'a middle layer of 'synthetic wool" between outer and inner waterproof rubber surfaces. A half - inch - thick felt insole is sealed airtight into the sole. And one-half inch of wool fleece is sealed into the upper part of the boot. This forms a vapor and heat lock around the foot. The vapor barrier prevents the insulation from absorbing moisture from sweating or other causes. Otherwise, absorption would even- tually ruin the boot's ability to lock in body heat. This is why the boot must be patched if punctured. "The only charce a marine has of getting frostbite is if he's immo- bilized for more than three hours at temperatures below zero," Allen said. Coal Production Decreased in U.S. During Year 1951 Pittsburgh (AP) -- The United States coal industry finished the year with' surging production and rising employment amid some optimistic predictions that 1952 will see coal producers regaining lost markets while living in peace with labor. One notable achievement was chalked up in 1951. President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers signed an industry-wide contract without calling his 400,000 soft-coal miners out on strike. It was the first time in the in- dustry's history of organized bar- gaining that an agreement was reached without a crippling, coun- trywide strike. Total 1951 production is expected to run about 525 million tons. Out- put in 1950 was about 506 million tons. Production fell off during the warm months of this year but per- ked up in the fall-thanks to the defence program and aid to Eur- ope. \ They contend the cheap competi- tive fuel is dumped on the domestic market at cut - rate prices. But late in 1951, the industry though it saw a trend reversal from the 1949-50 period when many coal customers switched to oil. Research made some big ad- vances in the last 12 months. Pitts- burgh Consolidated Coal Co. began building a demonstration pipeline to carry crushed coal in water. The same firm announced new plans for gasifying coal so that it can be converted into snythetic gasoline, other fuels and valuable chemical products. Authorized Dealer for FRIGIDAIRE W.C. TOWN & SONS WHITBY Phone 410 ~~Central Press Canadian A -- adjusting the older types of spread- | The on nine of their 14 papers. Under the system, news stories edited in a central office are sent by special teletype to member papers. There, they are received machines to produce the lines of type which make up the news and - feature columns. i Here's what's involved in the _ changeover according to Cana- dian Press General Manager Gil Purcell: With the beginning of the new year CP will take over operation of the Thomson teletypesetter network. By March 1, non-Thom- son daily newspapers in Ontario (other than in London, Windsor, Hamilton, Toronto and Ottawa) will be offered a news transmis- sion service adaptable to the tele- ypesetter t; A This transmission srvice will also be made available to a group of members in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, the network there being operated from Winnipeg at the outset. Later, papers on the West coast will also be able to receive the new transmission as a result of Associated Press net- works being set up in Oregon and Washington next year. As more of the equipment is made available, additional points across Canada will be converted to the new transmission system. In all cases it's up to the indi- vidual newspapers whether to adapt actual teletypesetber equip- ment to the news transmission system, It's expected, however, most papers will use teletypsetter equipment. . The new transmission system will provide for the first time, teletype news messages with capi- tal and small letters. (At present all teletype messages are in capi- tal letters only.) Also the messages will be printed the same width as™ standard newspaper columns. Both these features will mean less work for the editors of papers. By the end of 1952 it's expected 26 papers at least will be using "Model 20" transmission. By 1953 if more equipment becomes avail- able, a start will be made at con- verting the metropolitan papers. At first this might be limited to the transmission of daily stock market quotations and sports box scores, With six months teletypesetter experiece behind them, the Thomson newspapers do not look on it as a great money saver directly. CLAIMS INVENTED SELF-LIGHTING CIG Fribourg, Switzerland (AP) --= A Swiss chemical manufacturer says he has invented a self-light- ing cigaret.
