Cochrane - c".._. ter Secretary -Treasure Arthur Fraser - - - ADVENTURE IN BUILDING Surface 10-- Be Painted RequiresRequires-Preparation This is the 40th in a series of articles by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Fed- eral housing agency, on build- ing a house. Painting is the final detail in the homebuilding operation. Many peo- ple, in their haste, make the mis- take of rushing the builder at this stage in order to get into the house early. But painting requires as much care as any other phase of construction. Some nome owners will consider painting the house themselves, us- ually to effect a saving. It should be remembered that for good paint- ing results a certain amount of skill and preparation is required.' A pair of white overalls and a brush do not make a painter. The use of. cut-rate paints can also de- preciate rather than add to the appearance of the house. There are various kinds of paint; paints for heavy wear used on floors, metal paints with high ad- hering qualities, and cement paints for concrete surfaces. Paints for exterior use must be able to with- stand the weather changes; their formula differs from that of in- terior paints. Different finishes can also be obtained by varying the ingredients or the mixing methods. There are flat paints and glossy paints, and paints which give a semi -gloss finish. Some paints use linseed oil or soybean oil as a mixing base; others can be dissolved in water. Sometimes a combination of the two, or "emulsion" paint is used. Paints and varnishes, as well as sealers, thinners and other prepar- ations used with finishes must be compatible, For example, a coat of paint may be damaged if its chemicals react adversely with those in the next coat. Preparing the surface to be painted is just as important as the painting itself. All rough spots must be smoothed down and por- ous surfaces sealed with a filler to keep the paint from being ab- sorbed unevenly by the material. If oil base paints are used the surface to be coated must be dry; painting over a wet or damp sur- face will cause the paint to blister and peel. Wood which contains too much moisture "is responsible for more paint failure than prob- ably any other single factor. Outside Paint Work Exterior painting usually refers to the painting of outside wood- work, but stucco, concrete and brick surfaces are also painted occasionally. Wood must be thoroughly sea- soned before painting, and paint- ing should be deferred after a rain or if the air is too damp. Though dry to the touch, wood may still contain too much moisture for painting. The best and surest way of knowing how much moisture or waterv apour there is in the wood BUSINESS DR. M. W.

Exterior paint- ing should take place under favourable weather conditions, al- though with faster drying paints weather .is not as much of a problem. is to use a moisture meter. The painter should know some- thing about the peculiar charac- teristics of wood. Some woods do not hold paint as well as others. Also, certain woods contain a large amount of natural dyes which can cause discoloration, especially if the wood has not been thoroughly dried. Wood siding should be primed, that is, given its first coat of paint, as soon as possible after being nailed on. Once it has this pro- tective coating thereis not the same urgency about applying the additional coats. Somewoods are not as severely affected by wea- ther as others, but in any case the time to prime is before dam- age occurs. All nail holes should be filled with putty before painting. Knots in resinous woods should be sealed .with shellac or some other effec- tive sealer to prevent natural gums and resins from leaching out. These ingredients working their way through the paint leave -ugly brown stains over knots that have not been properly sealed. Sealing can be done either before or after priming. Aluminum paint which is otherwise a good sealer is - not recommended where it will also act as an exterior vapour barrier, trapping moisture under the paint- ed surface. After priming, joints around doors and windows have to be caulked with mastic or other suit- able caulking compound. This helps to make the joint water- tight and also reduces the heat loss to some extent. There are various grades of caulking mater- ial. Good caulking will remain elastic even after it hardens. Caulking should be applied care- fully, avoiding smears that will deface the finish. Mild weather is, best for outside painting. If a freshly painted sur- face is exposed too long to the direct rays of the sun in mid- summer the paint may be damag- ed. On the other hand, painting should be stopped when the tem- perature drops close to the freez- ing point. A good rule to follow is to "paint with the sun", and by the time one side of the house, is painted the sun will have moved over to. the next side. Outside painting' should be put off when rain threat- ens or if there is danger of dust or sand blowing against the fresh- ly painted surface. In most cases two coats of paint on top of the priming coat are suf- ficient. But if paint is applied too thinly or if it has a low pig- ment content, additional coats may, be required. IL.•the surface is to be varnish- ed instead of painted, a primer or filler is still required to seal the wood pores. A diluted varnish is itself a filler, Spar varnish is used for outside work because it is more resistant to moisture. Before varnishing, wood surfac- es are often stained to simulate other woods or to give a more SUPERIOR MAINTENANCE SERVICE SEAFORTH -- PHONE 182 • Window Washing • Wall Washing • Small Repairs • Floor Maintenance • Changing Storms and Screens • General Janitor Work • Housecleaning • Brick and Plastering Repairing SUPERIOR Oar Name SERVICE Our Aim RAY SQUIRE BOX 335 • SEAFORTH uniform shade_ Some varnishes contain their own stain. Other types of exterior finishes call for staining only, in which case the pore sealer is often combined with the staining mixture. Interior Work Interior decorating should be done with particular care. It is seldom carried out in a single op- eration. Normally there are two or three separate steps: walls and ceilings, then doors, and trim, and finally the floors. Painting plastered surfaces pre- sents special problems. Newly plastered surfaces contain lime, an active alkaline ingredient, which can destroy the color in certain types of paints. Builders often re- commend that plastered walls be left in their natural state for a year, or so before painting. By that time the lime has become harmless. This delay also enables the home owner to have any cracks in the plaster repaired be- fore painting. If these cracks ap- pear after the blaster has been painted, the entire surface. may have to be ,done over again. If a home owner wants the painting done before moving in, he should make sure that newly plastered surfaces are thoroughly dry and that they are treated with a neutralizer to counteract the lime. This is especially important if oil base paints -are to be used. Rubber base or "Latex" paints which are soluble in -water are easier to apply on fresh plaster. A filler or sizing is also required before painting, • since plaster is porous. The degree of absorption on plastered walls is uneven and if a good filler is not used it may be difficult to achieve a uniform shade of color across the whole surface. Preparing interior woodwork for painting includes priming, shel- lacking of • knots' and filling the holes with putty or wood fillet. In some woods the grain rises after application of a primer coat, producing a rough surface. This may also occur on window and door frames primed at the factory. Rough spots should be sanded smooth before applying the sec- ond coat of paint. No amount of painting will in itself hide this defect. If the surface is rough it will Collect dust and will be difficult to wash and keep clean. .For a while after painting the paint film which has not had time to properly dry out and harden will damage easily. Until it hardens, special care should be taken when moving furniture about to avoid scratching the painted surfaces. The drying time will depend on the type of paint used. Finishing Hardwood Floors Hardwood floors, ' before being varnished or waxed, are sanded down with a special rotary sand- ing machine. The final appear- ance of the floors will depend con- siderably on the skill of the per- son who does the sanding. A sealer is essential if the grain of the wood is porous or "open". Some bf the chemicals contained in seal- er compounds give off poisonous fumes and prolonged exposure to these fumes may be harmful. There has always been some dis- agreement, both among builders and home owners, as to whether varnish or wax over a sealer pro- duced the better floor finish. This is largely a matter of taste, the amount of use the floor will get, and the time that can be spared to maintain the floor surface. The various floor finishing methods acceptable for NHA financed hous- es are described in the book, "Housing Standards." SEAFORTH MONUMENT WORKS ' OPEN DAILY Exeter 41 T.

E, LONGSTAFF, Optometrist Quality of lenses depends on the quality of the material used in making the glass, .the workman- ship involved, and a rigid inspec- tion system that discards lenses due to minute bubbles, dirt, or un- due strain on the lens. Perhaps more important is the curve that ,is generated on the sur- face of the lens. The power of a lens is determined by the differ- ence between the curvature on the back and front surfaces of the lens and the thickness of the glass, so that for a given power quite a . umber of different curves could be used. The curves that are used are not picked haphazardly, but are determined by an exact mathema- tical formula, so designed to re- duce aberrations of focus to a minimum. The greatest aberration we have to contend with in an ophthalmic William Tilden Heads O.F.A. William Tilden, Harriston dis- trict milk producer, was elected president of the Ontario Federa- tion of Agriculture for 1960-61, at the closing session of the OFA's 26th annual convention. This is Mr. Tilden's first term as presi- dent, but he has served in the ca- pacity of vice-president for the past two years. Mr. Tilden is also a past chairman of the Ontario Concentrated M i 1 k Producers' Marketing Board. Elected as members of the ex- ecutive committee . to serve with Mr. Tilden are: first vice-presi- dent, A. H. K. Musgrave, Clarks- burg; second vice-president, Chas. Huffman, Harrow; J. A. Fergus son, St. Thomas; Len Laventure, Glasgow Station, and a new mem- ber of the executive committee, Charles Munro', of Embro. Gordon Greer is the immediate past presi- dent. These seven men were elected out of the 29 -man board of gover- nors in the OFA who were elected November 2 for the coming year. The other governors are: A. H. Daynard, 4Staffa; Larry Doble, Ux- bridge; R. R. Stewart, Peterbor- ough; H. Williams, Mountain; W. Joyce, Meldrum Bay; L. Davis, Owen Sound; C. McInnis, Iroquois; R. 0. Hardick, Sarnia.; J. L.

This is introduced - when your eye ro- tates and you look through the edge of the lens. Rays of light striking the lens at this point all have a different angle of incidence and therefore are focussed at dif- ferent paints, thus giving, broadly speaking, two live foci with a separation between them. If the distance between these two live foci is too great, as in an uncorrected lens, the object you look at will be blurred. By grinding proper curves on the lens, this aberration is reduced to a minimum and produces a clear undistorted image over the entire lens. This is what is meant by a corrected curve lens. Hullett Council Emmerson Hesk was named chairman of the court of revision on the 1961 assessment roll at Hul- lett Council meeting. There were no appeals and the court adjourn- ed and reopened as a council. Clerk Harry F. Tebbutt was giv en authority to write off $388.46 in taxes, due to the annexation of lands in Hullett to the Town of Clinton. The Town of Clinton will receive the taxes from the annex- ed properties for the ensuing years. A grant amounting to $750 was given to the Hullett Township Fed- eration of Agriculture. William Trewin presented the council with a petition requesting a clean-out of the Taylor Municipal Drain. This petition was favorably received by. the council, and Coun- cillor Vincent was named as com- missioner for this work. A by-law was passed setting the date for nominations for the Township of Hulletf, to be held on the 25th of November and if an election is necessary the election will be held on the 5th of December, A revised report was received from Robert Dawson, Engineer, Stratford, regarding the Van Baaren Municipal Drain.
