a feature news parade less power bro uoo shorter hours now that wartime restriction have reduced the lighting facilities of stores by allowing no electric signs or window display lighting another move is on foot to seduce the hours of shopping the golden age of the canadian shopper infinite variety of goods on the shel ve and plenty of time in which to buy them appears to bo entering its twilight however this latter restrict ion may not go into effect for some time yet as retailer are ailing the wartime prices and trade board to post pone any restrictions o f hours of sale until after the effect of reduced lighting on business in general is ascer tained there is little doubt that in most towns the wednesday and saturday night shoppers could get their ting done long before midnight and thus give the retailers a chance to dose their stores much earlier than is the case now many merchants have wanted early closing now for a number of years but only a government order will get the desired action it will no doubt come sooner or later so it would be a good stunt to start shopping early in the day just to get in practice the old sprinkling tank that sounds like a peculiar subject to bring up just now but we were reading editor dills column in the free press the other day where he was doing some re miniscing about acton old town sprinkler this gave ti an idea that georgetown citizens might be interested to know where the old town sprinkler that served the town so well in keeping down the dust nusiance before we bad our paved streets went to to this query we might say the sprinkler is still doing duty it is now owned by mr thomas bird at ashgrove and is at pres ent used to hold water for construction work on a new house in the ashgrove district when not in use it is kept in shape as an auxiliary supply tank like editor dills we too can recall in our early school days how we would chase after the sprinkler on a hot summer day to cool off our sunscorched bare feet the town sprinkler was a welcome sight on the street in the old days of the horse and buggy but we imagine it would look quite out of place now as the modern car raises a dust on the unpaved roads but we were not sorry to see the old sprinkler go for with it went a lot of shabby dusty dirty streets which gave way to our many paved thoroughfares but it is nice to think the old sprinkler is still able to serve in some capacity and that a town ser vice that holds so many memories of bygone days was not allowed to justjjjup into the discard on active service ever since war was declared this newspaper has endeavoured to keep an accurate account of all those on active service from this district up until a few short months ago this list has been fairly accurate but now local men and women are answering the call to the ser- vices in such numbers that it is difficult to keep the list uptodate we would like to publish a new list shortly and only by the help and cooperation of relatives and friends of men and women who have recently joined the ser vices can we hope to have this list complete a public relations officer of the rcaf recently complimented the herald on its efforts in keeping such a list and said he doubted if any town of like size could boast an active service list so complete and in detail we believe local organizations forwarding comforts to the soldiers sail ors and airmen use this list as a guide then making out their lists it would be too bad if your boy or girl was missed because you put off sending in his name for the service list your help is solicited now send in the name of your son or daughter brother or sister for the active service list toward a better world we noticed this heading on some literature com ing into our office the other day from salvation army headquarters the heading drew our attention it read toward a better world we wondered if that wasnt just what we were all aiming at the boys over there and those on the homefront but it seemed that the army had something more to offer in wartime than maybe we find elsewhere in the last war the army was known as sally and brought a ray of hope even in the darkest hour on the battlefictl today it is the some solly stretching out its vid of mercy to brave can adians facing shipwreck rck death in the cause of democracy while on t lome front they ore ot the ervice of men and wore struggling in the grim clut ches of circumstances bmbss sthe army- is working at home and abroad but it undsand at this time they are appealing to the goeday le of candada for funds to
