WARNS CAUTION
WHEN REPLACING
While the average homeowner is
quite capable of changing a burn-
ed out light bulb or replacing a
blown fuse, any changes or re-
pairs to the electrical system of a
house should be entrusted only to
a qualified electrician.
This is particularly important if
additional outlets are to be in-
stalled as each electrical circuit
in the house is rated to carry only
a limited power load. If extra out-
lets are to be provided it may be
necessary to alter the circuits or

don't care how you vote; the im-
portant point is to come out and

your franchise you haven't a leg
to stand on if it comes to regis-

coming year.
As usual, the Saturday night
bingo will be held at the regular
time, and, of course, the annual

30-0 date to keep in mind. And
the Grey Cup tickets are going
fast! Have you got yours?
So this winds it up for now, and
will close with a thought for our
fallen cemrades: "At the going
down of the sun and in the morn-
ing we shall remember them."
IS NECESSARY
BURNED FUSES
instal a• fusebox that will accom-
modate more circuits, In certain
cases, lead-in wires may have to
be replaced with wires of a heav-
ier guage.
Proper precautions should be
taken when work of any type is
to be carried out on the electrical
system. For instance, the main
switch should always be thrown
off before replacing a burned out
fuse as accidental contact with
any live part of the circuit could
result in a severe electrical shock
or even prove fatal.
The use of fuses of the proper
rating is essential for overrated
fuses will cause the wires, in the
circuit to heat when .too many
appliances, or appliances which
use a large- amount of electricity,
are connected. When electrical
wires get overheated a real fire
danger is created. This is especial-
ly hazardous when the wires are
enclosed in walls and ceilings con-
structed of Iumber or .other in-
flammable material. Fires from
this cause rank high in the num-
ber of Canadian homes damaged
or destroyed by fire each .year.
A 15 -amp fuse is sufficient for
most lighting circuits but higher
rated fuses may be used for those
circuits serving heavy appliances
provided adequate wiring has been
installed. Under no circumstances
should a coin or other piece of
metal be substituted for a fuse.
If the lights dim when an appli-
ance such as a refrigerator starts,
it is an indication that the circuit
is overloaded. Another symptom' is
when an electric iron or toaster
heats slowly or a motor seems to
have trouble starting. Do not hesi-
tate to call a qualified electrician
if you are not sure where the trou-
ble is. His experience i _your pro-
tection.

Huron Farm News
Excellent fall weather is enab-
ling farmers to complete fall work.
Turnip harvesting is almost com-
plete; fallplowing is just about
finished. Livestock will be enter-
ing stable in good condition, Wheat
and new seeding will enter winter
in better.fhan expected conditions,
SUCCESS OF SPUINE FLOWERS
DEPENDS ON FALL PLANTI .G .
Spring -flowering bulbs give the
first welcome traces of color after
the long, drab winter. But they
must be planted, properly first.
here are a few tips from the
Ontario Department of Agriculture
to help get your bulbs off to a
good start:
Bulbs do well in an average, neu-
tral or slightly alkaline garden
soil. If the soil tends to be clay-
ey, add sand and organic matter
to open it up; an earlier applica-
tion of manure corrects a dry,
sandy soil.
Depth? This varies: here are
suggested depths for a few of the
more common bulbs: Tulip, 8",
Daffodil 9", Hyacinth 5", Crocus
4".
These depths are for average -
sized bulbs. Use your own judg-
ment as to how deep your bulbs
should be planted. Spacing de-
pends on such factors as height,
arrangement and purpose of the
blooms. Forihal tulip beds show
nicely whenthe bulbs are planted
about eight inches apart.
Don't plant bulbs in spots that
are known to be extremely wet in
the spring. Add a layer of sand
below the bulb in areas where
drainage is only fair.
TIMELY TIPS
Travelling on a highway with a
farm vehicle over 110 inches in
width") You need a special per-
mit, says the Ontario Department
of Transport. The permit you buy
now will be valid until October 14;
after that date, you need a new
one.
Sam complained,."1 don't know
what Ralph does with his money.
He was broke last week and he's
broke again today."
Is he asking for a loan?" Frank
inquired.
No, I tried to borrow from
him."
As a rule, bulbar do not need
fertilizer. Many gardeners apply
a bit of 'boneieal to help ixt the
formation of new bulbs.
orfourinches. of mulrcabovehree
tite
bulbs offers good winter protec-
tion. Remove it as soon as growth
starts in the spring.
When spring comes, it's a good
idea to give a thorough watering
just before and after the blooming
season.
