Home My WebLink AboutThe Huron Expositor, 1960-04-21, Page 9HURON COUNTY FEDERATION NEWS By CARL IHEMINGWAY 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. • The Huron County Dairy Co-ord- inating Board met recently and Usborne & Hibbert Mutual Eire Insurance Co. EXETER .• ONTARIO The yearly rate per $100.00 of insurance on Farm Property, other than Dwelling, has been reduced from 30 cents to 25 cents.

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."

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. • • FUNERALS .,._. MRS. N.
