Architect William A. Strong, of To- ronto, has also achieved a pleasing exterior appearance in this brick and masonry bungalow through the use of large window areas and an' attached carport. Of interest in the interior plan, are the position of the family room and the arrangement of the kit- chen. The U=shaped working area provides an abundance of cup- boards and ample counter, space, The handy pass-through between • the kitchen- and- family .room will also appeal to the housewife. The architect has provided good closet space throughout the house while the rear wall of the carport con- tains storage -facilities for garden tools and toys.. The total floor area is 1,219 square feet and the exterior dimen- sions are 46 feet by 26 feet, six ' inches, with the carport extending another 11, feet, six inches. Work- ing drawings for the house, as De- sign 286, may be obtained from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. • 3:y NO JOB FOB-AMATEURS—A good house- needs a good foundation, Laying concrete foun- dation blocks requires considerable skill and should be entrusted only to competent tradesmen. 'ADVENTURE IN BUILDING Laying.lock F�undatipns Job For Expert Workers This • is tiie'ninth in a series of articles by. Central Morg- ' tage and Housing Corporation, Federal housing agency, on building a house. Considerable skill is required to lay concrete blocks. If the job is entrusted to an amateur, a work- manlilte, job cannot be expected. A poorly erected foundation de- tracts from the appearance,as well as from the value of the house. The builder should purchase foundation blocks from a reliable firm which regularly submits sam- ples of its product for compres- sive strength tests, B]ocks should not be used until they are four weeks old to allow time for the concrete to harden. Cracked blocks.. should be rejected, though, a few surface hairline cracks, not ex- tending through the block, need cause no concern, as they won't impair the strength 'of the struc- tare, - When building up the corners of the foundation wall, blocks dealgn- ed especially for this purpose should be used. They produce a better and neater job than simply lapping ordinary blocks. The joint between the footing and the foundation is where leaks . are most Iikely to develop. It is im- portant, therefore, that the bottom "course" or row of blocks be laid with special care. Before adding succeeding courses, the outside surface of this first row is parged with a mixture containing sand and cement, then rounded down or "coved" over the footing. Careful work at this stage can mean the difference between a wet and a dry basement. If the work, i s shoddy, leaks may develop after heavy rains or follovtng the spring thaw. • Mortar joints should be of even • width and each row of blocks laid perfectly level. It is especially im- Safety Council portant that the first row be well laid. Correcting defects in one row by making adjustments in the next will only result in an unsightly job. The wall should be carried to the proper height. An extra row of blocks may be needed to get ade- quate head clearance in the base- ment. Usually, ,eleven rows of blocks are required. The last course of blocks, on which the floor joists will rest, are either solid blocks without the us- ual cavities or blocks filled after- wards with concrete. This is to provide an even bearing and pre- vent cracking under the weight of the superstructure. One further operation is requir- ed to complete a block foundation. The bottom row of blocks has been parged, • Now the entire wall sur- face• on the outside must he treat-- ed reat=ed in the same manner. Parging is a plastering operation in which the cement and sand mixture in a wet state is applied to the blocks. Thisacts as a water repellant and also improves the alipearance of the foundation walls, Parging should be applied• as evenly as possible. The average coating should be half an inch thick. If the coating is too thick it may not adhere ,to the blocks. For this reason it may be better to put on two successive coats. The first is called a "aeratch" coat because its surface is scratched to •:provide a grip for the finishing can 'Taxpayers; Tho a wbh•1 don't have to pass it el v service exams. to work for the go a rntnent. Organize Farm -- To Serve Huron A Farm Safety Council was formed in Huron County as tpe result of a meeting held' at–the Ontario Department of Agriculture board rooms, Clinton. on Tuesday evening. The council is comprised of five people representing all ar- eas of the county. Those named were Ted Dunn, R.R. 3, Bayfield, chairman; Wil- liam Elston, R.R. 4, Wingham; Elmer Robertson, Goderich; Mrs. Lloyd Pipe, Londesboro, and Mer- ton Keyes, R,R. 2, Seaforth. Attending the meeting were the township chairmen who conducted the Provincial Farm Accident -Sur- vey in the county, along with re- lresentatives of other farm organ- izations in the county. Ten Dunn was chosen as the delegate to re- present Huron County at the Pro- vincial Farm Safety Council meet- ing in Toronto on March 21. Chinese legend claims that the first cup of tea was brewed by accident over four thousand six hundred years ago, According to the tale. a Chinese philosopher was boiling water over a fire made of tea branches and accidently drop - Ped some of the tea leaves into the pot. 8e found the taste of this new beverage delightful, refresh- ing and quite stimulating.

CAIS IgEM INGwAX The Beef Producers of Huron County are very happy, with .the reception accorded their foot• guests from Ohio.• at the Seed Fair and at the Zone Beef Produce meeting at Exeter Friday even- ing. They would also express their appreciation to the Co`uuty Dd- partment of' Agriculture for .the assistance given. At the one meeting Mr. Robert McGregor was elected director for Huron, Middlesex and Perth: Bob has provided a tot of enthusiasm to the county organization and we congratulate him in this appoint- ment. I attended the annual meeting of the Ontario Hog Producers meet- ing in Toronto, but since it is be- ing widely reported in the daily press I will only report a couple side issues. First, it was pointed out the farmers only represent. less than 13 per cent of the population, but when we stop to • consider all those who are indirectly dependent on agriculture the percentage leaps tremendously. We are being told that we must reduce our production to our do- mestic market. In hogs, this means a reduction of about 40;000 hogs a week. This is just about the'number required to supply .On- tario and the past export market to D.S. If farmers do as they are told, and at present 'prices they must, then the total Ontario pack- ing industry labor force would be unemployed. The alternative is to find an export market. This leads to the second point. That an export market is available is born out by the fact that a U.S. packer in Buffalo phoned the •On- tario Hog Producers Marketing Board last week to seeif he could purchase live hogs. - Tiira". ioould- mean cutting through considerable red tape and expense, but the buy- er was quite willing to meet the price, However, if hogs were sold live the producer would lose the premium on Grade A and B car- casses. When this was pointed out, the packer said he would buy the carcasses. But another "monkey - wrench." Under the deficiency payment program, exports cannot be made to the U.S. less than the support price of $22.64. Current U.S. pork prices only warrant a price a lit- tle over $21.00. Result—No sale. `'GoverrYYnents seem to -he greatly interested in controlling the pro- ducer marketing boards and find. ing some way by which they might assist the farmer. T am sure their interest would be better directed if it were de- voted to finding •markets and rather than have Government wor- rying about assistance, let them first seek to remove the "eight ball."
