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.

ADVENTURE'
IN BUILDING
Electricity Does Many
Tasks in Modern Home
This is the 25th in a series of •
articles by Central Mortgage
and Housing Corporation, Fed-
eral housing agency, on .build-
ing a house.
•
With each passing year elec-
tricity is called upon to do more
jobs in the home. 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'

ing and versatile helper. 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.

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 -
