A word of warning to motorists!
If yol are planning a trip outside
of Ontario, you should get a veri-
fication card from your insurance
company,„showing liability cover-
age, Many States in the U.S., and
some Provinces, require this. If
you happened to get picked up
Friday evening, your car could be
impounded until you could contact
your company Monday morning.
Could be most embarrasing!
The Properties Department of
the Ontario Federation of Agricul-
ture met with Hydro on January
27 and requested a 20 -year term
lease. Since that time there has
been no action, but just last week
I was informed- that negotiations
have been again opened, and it
seems that Hydro eventually will
give a better deal. It just takes a
long time for them to make up:
their mind. •

decided to conduct the Dairy Prin-
cess contest in conjunction with
the Clinton. Spring Fair, June 11
This is about a month earlier than
other years, and we hope the girls
interested will get their entries in
by June L Attractive prizes are
being offered, so notify the Coun-
ty Federation office, Box 310, Clin-
ton, for particulars,,
At the County Federation of Ag-
riculture directors' meeting April
12, the secretary was instructed to
invite a representative of the On-
tario Provincial Pollee to the next
meeting to explain the regulations
controlling the movement of farm
machinery on the roads.
Gordon Greig, • first vice-presi-
dent, in ,reporting the, hog produc-
er delegation meeting with Pre-
mier . Frost, pointed out that pre-
vious farm legislation had origin-
ated with farm organizations, and
after thorough study and consul-
tation with government officials,
had been passed with the approval
of all parties.
This new Bill 86 was the brain
child of members of the party in
power and without discussion with
farm organizations was introduced.
into the House by the Minister of
Agriculture as a partisan bill, and
was opposed by the combined
position. Farm marketing legisla-
tion now seems to have become a
political football.
A statement of County Federa-
tion of -Agriculture policy concern-
ing commodity groups, previously
drawn up by the resolution 'com-
mittee, was presented and after
discussion it was agreed to defer
final approval until the proposed
statement could be considered in
the light of the present constitu.
tion.
Alf. Warner, of. the County Hog
Producers, thanked the county and
township federations for the sup-
port given in opposing Bill 86, and
stated that with such strong op-
position the Government would
probably hesitate in making use
of any of the new powers,
Could this be the reason that Mr..
Goodfellow failed to appear for
the opening of the Listowel Farm-
ers' Co-operative April 8?
First Workman (very angry):
"Did yo' tell Bill I was three -parts
daft?"
Second Workman: "No, I thought
he knowed."
Candidate: "I'm pleased to see
such -a dense crowd here tonight."
Voice: "Don't be too pleased,
Buster, we're not all dense."

Features New Basementless Design
Though a departure from the
more conventional design, this
pleasing basementless bungalow
would be acceptable in any neigh-
borhood, Designer F. W. Sunter, of
Nanaimo, B.C., and architect D. L.
Sawten, of Vancouver; have in-
cluded an enclosed patio off the
dining room that is a unique fea-
ture in a house of this size,
' The bedrooms are located at the
rear of the house for greater pri-
vacy and the master bedroom con-
tains two Large clothes closets in
addition to an ample, well lighted
storage area. One of the distin-
gunishing features of this house
is its sunken living room with -,tile
extehdin.g across the entire` length
of the fireplace wall.
The total floor area is 1,270
square feet and the exterior dimen-
sions are 52 feet, eight inches, by
39 feet. Working drawings for the
house, known as Design 288, may
be obtained from Central Mortgage
and Housing Corporation at mini-
mum cost. -
RAISING THE WALLS—Frame walls may be built vertically, or a whole section may be
assembled, braced and claddcd, then lifted into place as a unit. This method speeds up the
job of erection.
ADVLNTURE IN BUILDING
Stud Frame Popular Type
Of House ' Construction
This is the fifteenth in a ser-
ies of articles by Central Mort-
gage and Housing Corporation,
Federal housing agency, on
building a house.
Wood framing is the most com-
mon type of wall construction for
houses built in Canada. There are
many reasons for this. The open
frame permits economy in the use
of materials; assembly is simple,
the. walls are easily insulated and
are quite sturdy when braced and
sheathed.
The frame wall consists of a bot-
tom plate, also known as the sole
plate, upright studs usually 16 inch-
es apart, and a double plate at
the top. Studs are doubled around
all openings, such as doors and
windows, to provide strengt1f In
addition, this offers a wider sur-
face for nailing finish woodwork.
In stud framing both face hail-
ing and toe nat1ilig are used. In
face nailing, the nail is driven
squarely through the board into
the adjoining member. With toe
nailing, nails are driven at an an-
gle through the end or the' edge
of one piece of lumber into the
next. For example; a lapped joint,
in which the end of one member
extends across part of the other,
is face nailed, while an upright
member, such as a stud, is toe
nailed. to the bottom plate. Another
term is "end nailing" which re-
fers to the face nailing of one -
member to the butt end of an-
other.
The bottom horizontal piece in
the window framing is called the
bottom header or 'rough sill; the
one above the window opening is
called the top header or lintel. Lin-
tels are usually from four to 12
inches deep, depending on the
width of the window opening. The
larger openings with longer un-
supported spans require the heav
ler lumber. A lintel can be a sin-
gle piece of lumber or it can be
built up with two pieces of lumber
laid on edge. In this way the lin-
tel is made stronger, since the
greater depth of the lumber is us-
ed to carry the load.
Each stud, whether single or
doubledi, must be made of a single
piece of lumber. Two pieces nail-
ed' end to end cannot be used for
stud framing. However, joints will
normally be found 'in top plates,
because a single piece of lumber
can seldom be obtained to run the
full length of -the house. Joints in
top plates should come directly
over a stud.
Where two outside walls meet
and at the intersection of an out-
side wall and an interior partition,
the top plate should be lapped.
The lapped members are face nail-
ed to each other from the top.
At the fourcorners of the house
and at any other exteriol• angle,
the framing is strengthened by add-
ing an extra stud to form a cor-
ner post, This three -stud assemb-
ly is also used wherever a bearing
partition meets the exterior wall.
These studs are nailed together in
such a manner as to provide ade-
quate nailing surface for the lath,
if plaster la to be used as the in-
terior finishing material, or for
the panel edges, if dry wall finish
is called for.
Bracing Provides Strength
Stud framed walls are not strong
enough, usually, to hold up the roof
and at the same time resist lateral
pressures, without some sort of
bracing. There are a number of
ways of doing this.
In a one -storey building the ex-
terior sheathing, if properly nail -
'ed, will provide sufficient bracing.
Additional bracing ,ean be achiev-
ed
chieved by nailing a board diagonally
across tl, studs. The hoard is re-
cessed into the .studs which are
notched for this purpose.
In a two-storey house diagonal
bracing is required in addition to
any bracing provided by fibreboard
sheathing, but may be omitted if
plywood panels or lumber laid diag-
onally is used as sheathing.
There is a right way of nailing
each type of sheathing, depending
upon whether it is wood, plywood,
fibreboard or gypsum board. Fibre-
board sheathing should not bp nail-
ed on too tightly.. Fibreboard is
soft -textured and 'yields easily un-
der hammer blows. Excessive
hammering either bruises the
board or else drives the nail head
into the Material. As the house
settles and slight adjustments
take place in the framing mem-
bers, nail -beads have a tendency
to work further into the fibreboard,
thus impairing its bracing value.
If fibreboard or gypsum sheath-
ing is used, the exterior walls
should hot be left uncovered for
too long a period, as unnecessary
damage or deterioration may oc-
cur.
Plywood is more rigid than oth-
er types of panel sheathing, which
partly offset, its lower insulating
qualities. The bottom ends of ply-
wood panels should never be nail-
ed to the floor framing. Other-
wise, when the lumber shrinks, a
gap will develop between the floor
and the frame4 and. the wall will
then, in effect, -be supported by
the plywood alone.
A gap of 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch,
however, should be left between
panel edges when they are. used
as exterior sheathing. The opening
does not weaken the structure and
it allows for expansion in the ply-
wood caused by absorption of mois-
ture. If this space is not provid-
ed, the framework may buckle
under the strain.
