Knitting. Needles 80 Years Q14
At a recent Historical Research'
meeting held in the village there was
ott exhibition a pair of knitting needles
owned by Mrs. Arthur Shaw, and made
by her father, the late James Fraser,
pioneer of the first concession of Mor-
ris township. He made them over 80
years ago, of very heavy steel Wire,
for his wife to knit him a wide muffler,
as it was called, not so large as scotch
Shepherd' plaid, but a good wrap worn
in place of an overcoat. The needles
have been used constantly since the
war started, to knit woollen scarves,
yards long and 14 inches wide, Now
that Red Cross work has eased off, the
needles may rest from their labours.
