more energy by conservation than we can produce for the same money. Unless we do research on solar energy,
wind power, tidal power, hydroelectric plants … our fossil fuels will run out and we’ll all freeze or starve to
death. Several countries are spending much more time and money on research because the energy from the sun,
the waves, and the winds last forever. We won’t really survive unless we start working on cleaner and safer
sources of energy.

There is a list of interesting jobs that we’ll never have again, and a town crier is, of course, on the list, it's been
a long time since town criers worked professionally, so there are not many people knowing who town criers
were. Today we can only see them in the movies or at some old tourist sites. Before newspapers were invented,
a town crier, who was usually an older gentleman with a booming voice, always dressed officially and had a
little bell which he carried with him always. His job was to go through city streets ringing the bell and shouting
the latest news as he was walking.
The occupation of the town crier was quickly replaced by radio, television, texting, internet, and all the

folklore. Competitions for the best town criers are still being held in some parts of the world like America.

class families in towns and cities and from farmers’ families in the country worked in rich houses.
