SII Irl • Although not usually found in a split-level design, the flat roof has been used to advantage in this three-bedroom frame house by architect A. M. Bowers, of Calgary. Because of this roof line, the split- level is not immediately apparent. The bedrooms are seven steps up from -the ground level which con- tains the entrance hall, living room and kitchen. There is a lower floor beneath the bedrooms which pro - 'vides for heating, storage, laundry and a recreation area. The large living -dining room extending across the 'front of the house is a note- worthy feature along, with the ,gen- erous size entrance hair and the compact kitchen. The total floor area is 1,191 square•feet and the exterior dimen- sions are 44 feet by 33 feet, eight inches. Working drawings for the`" house, Design. 761, may be obtain- ed from Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

Once it was used solely to•light the house. Today it helps the homeowner in an increas- ing range of tasks. Ten year from now electricity . will undoubtedly have still further uses in the home. Some thought, therefore, should be given to future needs, when planning the electrical sys- tem for a new home. In areas where electricity is like- ly to be used either for cooking or heating, the capacity of the electric service entrance wires which car- ry electricity from the main cables to the house and fuse box, or "ser- vice entrance", should• not be less than 100 amperes. A'60 -amp serv- ice is no longer considered ade= quate itt most new •homes. A sufficient nuinber of outlets is another requirement of a good elec- trical system. For the living room a minimum of four duplex outlets should be provided. The kitchen requires two duplex wall outlets and one ceiling fixture and if an electric range -Is used, a 220 -volt cable will be necessary. The bath- room will need at least one • wall fixture and ,a wall outlet may also be provided, , unless prohibited by the local 'electrical code. Three duplex wall outlets, or one ceiling fixture and two duplex outlets should be provided in each 'bed- room and in the dining room. Each hallway and vestibule should be serviced by a ceiling out- let. For houses of more than one storey, a three-way switch con- trolling the stairway lighting is re- quired at both the top and bottom Of the stairs. The basement should have at least one wall outlet; One ceiling nutlet should 'be controlled from the top of the basement stairs. Any basement outlet which is to be used for en 'eledtric wash- ing machine, clothes dryer or oth- er equipment should''be grounded or "polarized". Three - proiiged plugs are used with polarized out- lets. As for exterior outlets, a fixture is required at both the main en- trance and the service entrance. A closed -in porch is usually equip- , ped with its • own lighting fixture, in addition to the light at the en- trance. An attached garage requires both a ceiling outlet and a duplex wall outlet. 11 the garage is directly accessible from the basement the ceiling fixtures should be control- led from the main floor by a three- way switch. These, of course, are only mini- mum specifications. They may be quite inadequate in some houses. If there are two work areas in the kitchen, or if the eating area is separated from the working area, an additional 'ceiling fixture may be needed. Extra outlets can be provided' gt very the' additional when included little ild ng ontract.

Sufficient electrical outlets should be provided in every part of the house to take care not only of present needs but also future electrical requirements. ing area, and the storage space. ing problems, but as a general rule there should be an electrical fix- ture for every 300 square feet of basement floor area. This does not include extra fixtures needed for special work areas. A single duplex outlet may prove insuffici- ent to take care of basement plug- in needs. The use of an extension cord in a basement, as elsewhere, is a poor substitute for additional outlets. Not only are they unsat- isfactory but they may also be- come -distinct hazards. The -number and type of outlets should be 'clearly Stated in the building contract. Note that each wall switch is • counted as an out- let. A panel with'three switches, for example, will be counted as three separate'outlets. To find the number of operative outlets, al- ways deduct the number of switch- es from the total number of out- lets. To avoid having an exposed tele- phone wire running along the walls, have the phone connection wired in at the same time as the electri- cal outlets. The cost is compara- tively small. It is also wise to pro- vide a 220 -volt wall plug for the electric range. This is more prac- tical than connecting the heavy cable directly to the terminals on the stove. Electrical outlets should be safe, as well as located for the best use. Wall outlets in the kitchen should be kept a safe distance from the kitchen sink to prevent accidental grounding. Wet hands and live wires make an unhealthy combina- tion. For the scone reason outlets in the'bathroom should be kept clear of plumbing fixtures espec- ially of the bathtub itself. f i some provinces, regulations prohibit plug-in outlets in bathrooms. If an outside°wall-outlet is- being Every basement has its own light - installed it should be high enough above ground to be clear of snow drifts. It should also be -equipped with a cover and a locking device as a safety precaution.

EMING ►AX L littende4 two, meetings Mast week; the one Fon Monday was the long awaited land abqui ition lieet- 'ing at whieh'the declaim, of .Hydro compensation 4or -lands taken for transmission lines, was announced. 'For, over 'two years your county and provincial Federation of Agri- culture has been carrying on dip, cussion with the Hydro Commis- sion in order to arrive at a reason- ably fair settlement for Hydro easements, Having been unable to snake any progress during this ex- tended period 'with the Commis- sion the Federation Land Acquisi- tion Committee finally decided to approach the local membersof parliament and the Cabinet Min- isters concerned. With the assist- ance of these men, the Federation has obtained a reasonably satisfac- tory offer of compensation. A meeting has been arranged in Huron County for Monday, July 18, at 8:30 p.m., in the agricultural board rooms at which details of the offer will be given. Anyone is welcome, but those directly affect- ed by the Seaforth-Clinton line will receive further notice from this office. While the compensation is improved, don't expect to get rich, but we do hope that you can ex- pect early settlement. The second meeting was the Hog Producers meeting on Wednesday. I only wish I could report as fav- orably as in the case of the Land Acquisition committee. Since this meeting has been well covered in the press I will only mention a few points that I feel are particularly significant, Whereas, formerly it has been said that there was a feud between the producers and the processors and drovers it now seems to have become a di- rect battle between producers and government. - In "spite .-of 'the- repeated state- ments that Bill 86 'would not be used except in emergency or in case a vote was lost, its powers are now being used. I can see no emerg- ency. in the sale, of _ hogs. and the matter of a vote .seems to'have* been been forgotten. Yet the Farm Pro- ducts Marketing Board seems to be just as difficult to deal with as the Hydro Commission. It also seems that this battle will resolve itself into ,5 battle of aud- iting firms. These men are won- derful with figures and I' respect their ability, but I do question their knowledge • Of the- hog indus- try. Yet it seems that the fate of the hog producer rests in their hands. - The Government has stated -that it must protect the producer and the consumer. It isn't the .40c for selling hogs that hurts the farmer, it is the $19.00 per cwt. Yet the Government made no move to pro- tect the farmer against this. The . consumer has no need . for protection against the present method of selling hogs. The best that the selling agency can do will be to get a fair price for hogs. As long as Government retains its present ideas about import restric- tions, the price of bogs cannot be - +SEES ;IN'.
