Kingston St., Goderich SAVE YOUR SHRUBS AND ROSES THE NEW SYSTEMATIC APPLICATION No Spraying or Dusting, just apply to soil around plants Dutch Sets and Multiplier Onions Still Available TOPNOTCH FEEDS LIMITED The key to an attractive siding Job is the application of the bottom row. Make sure that.the bottom row is applied level to a chalk line. If it is, the rest of the application job is easy since the bottom raw will function as a level base and all subsequent rows are applied upon it. For do-it-yourself application 9f mineral siding, here are the basic steps. First, using a chalk line and line -level, establish the lewer edge of the surface to be sided at the point where it meets the foundation wall. Next, cover the surface win an asphalt -saturated felt. This type of felt is to-day's standard covering for home sheathing material and adds waterproofing protection should anrwind driven moisture penetrate the joint 5 of the siding. START AT CORNER - The felt is applied from rolls horizontally with a slight overlap, starting from the bottom of the house and working up. Next, draw a horizontal chalk line around the entire structure to • be sided. Nail a wooden lath along the bottom edge of the surface to be sided at the point, 1 where it meets the foundation. For the first row, start at the corner with a full panel and apply the siding panels in a row, ' with the top edge lining up parallel with the horizontal clIalk line. Natil the bottom of the panel into the wooden lath. - After each panel is nailed into position, insert an asphalt backer strip behind the end of the panel. These backer strips, which are inserted behind each vertic,11 joint between panels, add 'extra protectio1 against penetration of moisture. The second row also starts at the corner, but with a half panel of siding. Once this panel is in place, apply full panels, making sure that the nails ride just on top of, not through, the previous row .of panels. CAN BE CUT If a panel does not fit exactly at the end of a row, or around a projection, mineral siding can easily be cut with a saw to the • * Home improvement is bound to give the family more comfort and convenience for a long time to come. But the benefits don't stop there. American mobility being what it is, chances are the homeowner won't keep his present house forever. When the * time comes to sell, the im- provements the family has made - and enjoyed - can mean a quicker and more equitable sale. Estimates are that one-fifth of the country's 60 million house- holders change residences every year. In the face of these figures, *remodeling becomes important not only for immediate needs but also to improve the sales value of the house. Meeting one of these goals need not mean comprqmising the other. The family and a potential buyer will ,be interested in the ▪ same things - an attractive home that offers long term protection, comfort and convenience with minimal upkeep. Wise planning and careful selection of quality building ma- terials can satisfy both. An im- proved home also builds equity, and modernization costs can be more than realized in the even- tual selling price. These are some aspects to consider when viewing remodel- ing from a dual vantage point: OUTSIDE WALLS - Emph- asis should be on durability and easy care. There are many new • prefinished sidings, as well as traditional materials, that meet these requirements. If paint is preferred, choose a quality pro- duct that Will last for many years. HEATING - A good unit with an effective distribution system • is worth the cost. It assures home comfort, and, can save, hundreds of dollars .in fuel and service bills. ROOF - Choose materials that offer long life, minimal main- tenance, and maximum protect- • S S ion against heavy weather abuse; and other hazards. As a natural focal point of the house exterior, the roof is also a perfect place for color and lasting beauty. Heavyweight asphalt shingles - which have a minimum weight of 290 pounds per applied square - are a good choice. They are designed to give from 20 to 25 years of service with virtually no upkeep, carry , the pnder- writers' Laboratories label for fire resistance, and come in a wide range of colors - including pastels and blends. The self-sealing variety, with factory-applied adhesive that Bonds each shingle to the one below, bears the UL label for effective wind- resistance. ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS - Outlets and capacity should be sufficient for future as well as present needs. An increasing number of home appliances de- mand electricity; and a system that canit handle them is a po- tential fire hazard PLUMBING - Another area where .quality and quantity are worth the cost. Repairs.are in convenientand expensive. Be sure plumbing facilities, includ- ing water heater, are adequate for present and future demands. KITCHEN AND BATH - These two areas still top homeowners "most wanted" improvements list. Discussion of family pre- ferences and needs with a home Improvement contractor, a plumbing supplier, an appliance dealer can help to define costs, firm up plans and clarify best use of space. HARDWARE - This is one of those low-cost improvements that pays 'off big in beauty. At- tractive ,pulls and kner,bs give an instant facelift to cabinets and closets, for just a few dollars. They're among the.

Complete. the siding applic- ation by nailing the last or top row at the botoom as usual and also at the top. To insure a good, secure siding, also top- nail those panels which are ao- plied beneath projections such as windows and overhangs. To finish the job, and to make certain of a weather-tight ap- plication, caulk all points where siding panels end-butt into such projections as door and window casings, interior corners and all openings made in panels to allow for passage of pipe, conduit, elec- trical fixtures.
