stockings Which you feel you, can
no longer wear? Are they merely
tossed out 'with the garbage? If so,
you should knew that they can still
be put to use, in a worthy cause,
In japan there is a government
agency called "'The Women's Wel-
fare Service of Japan," which helps
find employment for many women,
particularly widows who' must sup-
port themselves and their children,
One method Is:to use damaged ny-
ion stockings te' make; full and
knee length stockings from slight-
ly "damaged ones, mended to look
like' new;: socks for men, women
and Children, made trolln unravel-
ling the damaged boSe and re-
weaving them; pretty corsages;'
small stuffed toy animals; gloves,
Slippers, bags, made from the um,
ravelled portiOns. Unusable parts of
stockings are made into nylon yarn
from which cushions, mattresses
and shoulder pad are made.
"Twenty-one workshops employ
some 426 widow; and 1,695 women
wOrk in their homes.

DeWITT MILLER
the conductor of "A LINE 0'
'17.PE OR TWO" enlightens us in
the following rundown,)
When a tradition becomes as
strongly ingrained in our lives as
"Silent Night, Holy Night," people
frequently regard it as something
handed down to us through the
ages, probably of obscure origin.
Such is not the ease with our
favorite Christmas carol, however
—or with most of our popular
carols for that matter. Except for
"Noel" and "Adeste Fideles," they
are of fairly recent and definite
orivjn,
"Silent Night" was fir,st publish-
ed in 1840, having been written
during the 1830's by Father Joseph
Mohr, pastor of a 'little church at
Arn.sdorf, near Salzburg, Austria,
and set to music by his organist,
Franz Gruber.
Christi:11as, in whatever year it
was, was only a few days away and
the church organ was out of com-
mission, Mice had gnawed tbd
fabric out of the bellows, and 'the
repair man was too busy to get to
such a small town. The two men
were worried about what they
could do for Christmas music.
Two days before Christmas
Father Mohr had to call on a sick
woman, and returned by night over
the snow-covered mountains, He
paused in the •moonlight to gaze
down over his slumbering village,
and with this scene there dame to
his mind the familiar words be-
ginning "Stine Nacht, Heilige
Nacht," Arriving home, he jotted
them doWn.
The next clay he showed them
to Gruber, Who immediately wrote
the music, Mohr sang it that night
while Gruber accompanied him on
a guitar.
Whatever the facts of the Grub-
er story, "Silent Night" shares a
remarkable, similarity with its
Christmas Eve co-star, "The Night
Before Christmas." Both were writ-
ten by clergymen, one in Austria
in the 1830's the other in New
York in 1822; both were written
casually and apparently hurriedly,
with no thought of greatness (Dr,
Moore in New York even belittled
the verse he wrote for his chil-
dren); neither author made any
effort to promote his work, and
boVi were slow to gain a foothold.
A Real Addition to
Christmas ,Legendry
At Christniaa time (four years
ago) a little girl in Skokie named
ginger May began hearing 're-
marls about Rudolph, the Red
Nosed Reindeer, and ASIted her-
father a question that has probnbly
become pretty Common;
"44640," she said, flan't there
really :$3, Rudolph ?"
Most daddies could have replied
evasively that Rudolph is 'just. as
true as Santa Claus. But not Gin-
ger's father, Robert L, May, who
created Rudolph,
Re told us about Ginger's ques-
tion when we asked him how
Rudolph was corning alorig,
.".1 knew she wanted me to say
'yes' "he said, "but how could I?
All of the good things that have
happened Us ,are .because -of
Rudolph, and she was sure to learn
sometime, Z had to tell her the
truth, hut I still left the answer
open.
"'Well,' I told her, `Daddy made
np Rudolph before you were horn,
but maybe Santa Claus liked the
idra Kind got a real one',"
Rudolph the most •widely recog-
nized addition to the Santa Clans
legend in, this century, was created
In 1939 when Mr. May was an ad-
vertising writer for Montgomery
Ward & CO. Rudolph hibe.tnatod
during the war, but was revived in
1946. And 'after distributing 'six
million copies of the story, Ward's
turned the rights over to its author',
Mr. Way left Ward's and- has since
directed Rudolph's activities from
an •office in Evanston.
"Rudolph became big league in
1949," Mr. May told us, "when
Johnny Marks of New York wrote
the song about him, He appeared
in k comic strip, and in 1954
wrote •a new book about him,
`Rudolph Shines Again!
"I have refused to permit any
other songs about Rudolph, in spite
of the pleas of record companies,
and hesitated even to do a second
boOk on him for fear of detracting
from the original 'story. Children
really )elieve in Rudolph as he is,
and I believe the rest of us should
remain in the background!'
But around his home in. Skokie
(which Rudolph financed), Mr.
May has' found it difficult to shake
off his illustrious connections.
Neighborhood children know him:
as the man "rho made ,Rudolph,'',.
and when Christmas decorations
appear in front of other homes.
an eight-foot spotlight edition. of
Rudolph (contributed by a menu-
,facturer) appears- in front of the
May home.
With the help of children,
Rudolph' will go, a long way, Mr.'
May figures. Friends of his, visit-
ing in Indianapolis, were recently
discussing how Camp Atterbury got
its name, Some said a general,
some said `a battle.
"I know," piped up the little boy
of, the family, 'It came from
Rudolph
"Rudolph, the Red Nosed Rein-
door, AtterbUry shiny nose."
(But while the song about Ru-
dolph is in the secular category,
our thoughts and -preferences at
the Christmas season also include
the sacred "Silent Night, Holy
Night" It is 100 years older than
Rudolph, and really had a much
harder struggle to get started; as

Following a meeting called to
discuss recommendations made in
the Board of Conciliation Report
issued On MoncaY of this Week,
B, C. Scott, assistant .general
Manager—Personnel, said the Com-
mission has 'a,ccepted the Concili-
ation Board Report in its entirety.
The report of the board recom-
mended a two-year contract from
April. 1, 1958, With an Increaae of
1r %o on current rates of,. pay and
a farther increase of i%% on •April
1, 1959, This was in addition "to
the 3% cost of-living bonus which
dame into effect Ap ril 3, 195E1 This
would make a total increase in
1958 of 9,6 cents an hour, The es-
eulator clause will continne in ,the
contract,
The . ComMission's stand was
based on several important con-
siderations,
First of all, the Commission al-
ways had to keep 'in mind its
responsibility to the, public In
matters affecting the cost of power.
Secondly, the total increase of 9.6
Cents an hour is above the geno:al
pattern of wage inereases' curroot-
ly being granted hy major organ-
izations and industrial firms in
Ontario. Thirdly, as. .emphatically
stated in the Board RepOrt, On-
tario Hydro employees arc sub-
stantially better paid on the aver-
age,
.
for similar work, than other
workers throughout the province,
and fringe benefits are' else above
average.
. In underlining the Commission's
contention that its employees were
better paid than the. Ontario aver-
age, Mr. Scott, pointed Out that
according to the Dominion Bureau
of Statistics, the average .weeklY
earning of July 1,-1,958, were $73.85
for industr'y in . Ontario and $98,06
for Ontario Hydro; arid for public
utility, Operation in Ontario, they
were $88.30• 'on the average and
