Whiteley, of Don Mills, to "ensure good internal circulation. The floor plan is so arranged that any part of the house may be reached without crossing the diving room. The large kitchen, which can be used for dining, is conveniently located in relation to both the main and secondary entrances. Ample cupboard, closet and storage space is another attractive feature of the plan. The front door is protected by a roof overhang, . which is ex- tended to form a . carport. For best orientation the front door should face north. - . The total floor area is 1,085 a square feet and the exterior dimen- sions are 30 feet, two inches, by 40 feet, 10 inches. Working draw- ' ings for the house, Design 292, may be obtained from Central Mortgage and Housin Corporation. _ BEDROOM 4:5" . q c, BEDROOM 9.51. CARPOR1 BG 6••a'•Ti BEDROOM 9 8-.10.7' +I, ENTR4 L..

A few municipalities insist on plank framing for houses to the ex- clusion of other types of lumber framing. It is somewhat similar to post and beam con- struction which is popular in, British Columbia. ADVENTURE IN BUILDING Well Assembled Plank Frame Provides Good Solid Structure, This is the seventeenth in a series of articles by Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- poration, Federal housing ag- ency, on building a house. Plank frame construction, a pop- ular form of framing in the east- ern part of Canada, provides a sound and durable house. As with stud 'or open framing, plank fram- ing has vertical and horizontal structural islembers. But in plank framing heavier lumber is used and the broad side of upright structural members is set parallel to the wall instead of at right angles to it. The space between the structural members is blocked off with filler pieces, sawn so that they fit closely between the verti- wheli your TV needh a friend... PHONE 250 FOR THE FINEST 11 .

Structural uprights .must rest di- rectly on the foundation, on the sole plate, or on another vertical member if extra height is requir- ed. There is a good reason for this. Most of the shrinkage in lumber takes place across the grain, not along its length. If the vertical structural members aro supported by the joists instead of resting directly on the foundation, differences in shrinkage may cause the` house to settle unevenly. This its turn may cause considerable distortion in the frame. Cracks in brick veneer and plaster have been traced to this type of failure. To- make the building weather- tight and reduce the heating bill it is a good practice. to caulk the Joints between the` plaakg with tar or other mastic compound. This measure is optional under "Hous- ing Standards". In NIIA financed construction exterior sheathing is required if the planks used are only two inches thick. When three- inch planks are employed sheath- ing can be omitted. On the inside of plank frame walls a felt paper lining Is requir- ed. This can be tar paper, asphalt felt, or one of many acceptable types of paper listed in CMHC's Acceptable Building Materials Sys- tems and Equipment book. Post and Beam This type of construction is popu- lar in the coastal sections of Bri- tish Columbia, while isolated ex- amples are also found in other parts of the country. It consists basically of vertical structural members, the posts, and horizon- tal or sloping members called beams., Planking is usually em- ployed for the rough floor and roof. In post and beam construction all the load is carried on the posts rather than on the walls. The space between the posts can thus be glassed in; if desired. Some -- Unica the- entire facade . of the HOMESCLOORISTENSEN WINTHROP,,Lighted eandlealira, large white minus and pink snap- dragons made a colorful setting .in Cavan United Church, Winthrop, Saturday when Ellinor Christensen, daughter of Mr., and Mrs. Marius Christensen, of Winthrop, exchang- ed' marriage vows with Robert T. Betties, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ther- on Betties, R.R. 1, Seaforth. Rev. W. H. Summerell officiated at the double ring ceremony, and Mrs. Frank Johnston supplied the wedding music. Given in marriage by her father, the bride was lovely in a floor - length gown of white lace over taffeta, witr fitted bodice and lily point sleeves, tiers of lace forming the overskirt. The sweetheart neckline was embroidered with se- quins and her fingertip veil was held in place with seed pearls and sequins. The maid of honor, Miss Gloria Boyd, wore a gown of petal pink organza with matching headdress, and carried white carnations. The two flower -girls, Sheila Campbell and Marie McClure, were in match- ing dresses of blue nylon with white poke bonnets, and they car- ried nosegays of white carnations. Mr, James Axtmann was grooms- man, and ushers were Robert Campbell and Ejcil Christensen. Following the wedding, dinner was held at the home of the bride's parents with Mrs. Christensen re- ceiving in a dress of midnight blue crepe and lace with white hat, as- sisted by the groom's mother in a blue and white taffeta ensemble. Both wore corsages of white car- nations and red roses. For a trip to Eastern Canada, the bride chose a blue linen' suit with white accessories. On.. their return they will reside in Winthrop. Guests were present from Ailsa Craig, Listowel, Toronto and Mon- treal. house is built in'this fashion, pro- viding . plenty of natural lighting for the .interior. Another advant- age of post and beam construction is the absence of bearing partitions which provides greater flexibility of interior design. Post and beam frames must be properly braced to withstand wind pressure. Cladding usually pro- vides this bracing but where win- dows occupy a large part of a wall other types of bracing must be resorted to in order to strength- en the glassed -in section. Structural membeiis may be made of solid lumber or may be laminated. The laminations may be either spiked, bolted or glued with a moisture -proof.. adhesive. Metal ties or toenailing are the :1 methods- of tying the bean. to the post, although where a truly rustic effect is required a mortice and tenon joint may be made, using wood dowels as a tie. Beam ends exposed to the wea- ther should be treated with paint or other acceptable preservative to prevent excessive moisture absorp- tion and consequent splitting when the wood dries out.
