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 WINCHELSEA Mr, and Mrs. Wilbert Glanville and Ricky, of Staffa, visited on Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Walters. and Danny.

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.

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.
