Cumberland News, Saturday December 25, 1948 <br> <p> A Cumbrian Diary- By Solway <br> <p>Keswick in 1833 <br> In spite of its busy streets, Keswick retains much of its old-world appearance and atmosphere. Many people regard its situation as of singular beauty, and though it has changed considerably since 1833 the date of the accompanying picture it still possesses a charm which neither time nor the handiwork of man has destroyed.

Cumberland News, Saturday December 25th, 1948 <br> <p> Solway Peat Mosses <br> <p>A recent issue of the &quot;Sports Mag.,&quot; the official organ of No. 14 M.U. Royal Air Force Social and Sports Club, contains an informative contribution by Sergeant A. MARSHALL on &quot;Peat Mosses&quot; near the unit, about which I have received an inquiry from a reader. Mr. MARSHALL points out that peat mosses in the Solway district are mainly deposited on blue clay under 20 feet of peat where undrained, and perhaps about ten feet around the edges where public ditches reach through the strip of hard land bordering the shores of the Solway. Peat-cutting operations expose trunks of oak and birch lying on the clay, and while the silver birch bark is still intact, the wood inside resembles a light pink mush. The oaks, however, which have remained solid, are black with tanning, and when properly dried are useful for making black oak furniture.

Cumberland News, Saturday December 25th, 1948 <br> <p> The Civic Year <br> <p>Fundamental changes and developments in local municipal life have taken place during the past year. Generally they have been the sequel to national legislation or to the approval of civic schemes by Government Departments. Under the provisions of the National Health Service Act the Carlisle Corporation has submitted to the Minister a scheme, which has been approved, relating to health centres, health visiting, home nursing, domestic help, care of mothers and children, and the provision of other ancillary services connected with the Act. The Corporation has shown enterprise in acquiring residential accommodation for aged folk Aglionby children's home is now fully occupied, and Etterby Mission Hall purchased for youth purposes The Corporation's full scheme for the use of the old Gas Works site as a car park did not receive the blessing of the Ministry of Transport because of shortages of materials, but it is expected that the Minister will approve a modified scheme at an early date, thus enabling the Council to proceed with the work. Following the purchase by the city of all the Air Ministry's buildings at the Kingstown airport, negotiations on the flying side have reached such a stage that there is every possibility of an agreement being concluded to enable the airport to be fully operational next year. In regard to housing, 5773 dwellings have been erected by the Corporation since 1919, and of a further 356 which have been contracted for many are well advanced. Twenty-four flats have been occupied in Rydal Street, and eight combined shops and houses are being erected at Petteril Bank. The past year in the city has been one of great activity in the educational sphere. The authority's development plan for primary and Secondary education has been submitted to the Ministry. This envisages a fifteen years' programme of educational development involving a capital cost of £2 million. Many new schools are to be built, some closed, and the best of the existing ones renovated and converted. Commendable progress has also been made with the building of additional accommodation for senior pupils consequent on the raising of the school-leaving age. This takes the form of temporary hutting planned to last fifteen years. Of course huts are short-term projects to meet an immediate need, but parallel with these a programme of permanent building is also under way. Looking ahead to 1949 it is expected that the new schools at Belah and in the Raffles area, as well as the workshop block of the new Technical College, will be proceeded with.

The readings, given once a fortnight, were well attended and seemed to give great satisfaction to the people assembled on every occasion; but the wind up was patronized by an overflowing house, the school being literally crammed, many not being able to obtain seats, and even the performers had to be accommodated in the class-room. The proceeds of the evening were about £5, which, we trust, will enable the committee to declare the school and class-rooms clear of all encumbrance. The following programme was most efficiently rendered, the performers being heartily applauded by the audience.

WATT) informed the &quot;Cumberland News&quot; on Wednesday that there was every evidence that the Christmas postings would reach the same level as last year. To date there had been an increase in the number of letters and parcels compared with the same period last year. The work was well in hand and there had been no serious congestion. The public had responded moderately well to the Postmaster-General's appeal to post early, but far too many people had delayed posting parcels and packets.

Cumberland News, Saturday December 25th, 1948 <br> <p>Our Note Book. <br> <p>Another Christmas <br> <p>People all over the country are celebrating the fourth Christmas after the end of the war. During that time they have faced hardships and austerities as severe as any encountered during the war, but it is a characteristic of the nation that it meets difficulties with an extraordinary cheerfulness and a determination to &quot;make the best of things.&quot; So as the days of 1948 are being rapidly left behind, men and women every where realise that although they are parting with a long period of anxiety they, nevertheless, have to go forward to a future still uncertain as to where it may lead them. But all the centuries of tradition associated with the Christmas festival have endowed the hearts of the people with a firm belief in the faith of their Christian principles and given them the spiritual courage to battle with adversity. Our people, too, have long been famed for their genial good spirits even when the outlook may be depressing British to the core, they are tenacious in their resolve to rise to the occasion and, as in the war, to fight their way to victory. Unfortunately, even at Christmas-time it is impossible to altogether forget that the country is making a desperate struggle for its economic existence, though happily this fact brings to the fore all our finer virtues which were never more necessary than to-day. Though it is realised there will be hardships to endure in the coming year, it is a matter of gratification and satisfaction that hard work and grit, combined with moral responsibility, have already taken us some distance along the road to recovery. This festival will give us all an opportunity to enjoy the spirit of goodwill with which it has always been identified, and though Christmastime may be shorn of some of the old-time gaiety and abundance of good things there is every reason that it should be a time for merry-making and conviviality. For the children it is essentially a joyous season, and on Christmas Day they will be delighted by the visit of Father Christmas, the exchange of gifts and the playing of time-honoured games. To all our readers at home and abroad we express the hope that they will have a right Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

He got out of bed and found that his house was in flames. He opened the door of an adjoining bedroom in which four of his children were sleeping. The room was enveloped in flames.

In the meantime his wife ran into the room and took up the other two children, opened the window and threw them out to her husband, who caught them safely and placed them out of the way of harm.

PRICE 1D.II <br> <p>MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. <br> <p>THE AMERICAN JUTE TRADE. The rapidity with which branches of industry are developed in America may be gathered from the statistics of the jute trade. In 1860 it had scarcely any existence, and in 1835 only 1600 tons were imported. But in 1871 The cultivation had so rapidly increased that the amount reached 26,450 tons, and in the following year 41,851. The experiments in cultivating jute have so far succeeded best in the Southern States, where both the climate and the soil are well adapted to its growth. It is a point in favour of the culture that jute competes very little with cotton in manufacture, and thus distinctly enlarges the area of profitable rural industry.
