'So. many homes across the province have their backyards enclosed with either a chain-link or wooden fence. These can look quite barren but offer terrific possibilities'for the person with a little "imagineering"; as some commercial greenhouse growers call it. • Consider utilizing your fence as a support for fruit crops such as grapes, apples or raspberries, flowers such as roses, morning glories or nastur-tium's and/ orvegetabl6s such as tomatoes, squash, cucumbers or melons. For long term crops such as grapes and apples„ do a thorough job of soil preparation. Many subdivisions I have observed have ▪ been built on a very heavy soil. One of the best ways of improving the drainage and aeon in these soils is to incorporaea coarse, sharp sand into it. Many new types- of grape
plantS (eating and wine) are on
the market now and can be
purchased at your local garden
and plant supply center.
For apple trees, I'd suggest
one of the dwarfing rootstocks
such as East Mailing IX to-:help
keep the tree to a desirable
height. For most varieties you can
expect to harvest your first apples
in three to five years. The
branches can be trained along the
fence and supported by wire -and
old garden hose. Many.outlets are
available for fruit trees but
remember to . get a dwarf
rootstock and specify either a
cooking or eating variety.
Nothing is more colorful on your backyard fence than flowers. I'd suggest a climbing rose for those who enjoy a perennial plant and morning glory or nasturtium for those.-who like annuals. If you have limited space in your backyard, you can cut down the size of y our vegetable garden by training some crops up the fence. Those Alin e crops that take a lot of space, such as What are the tax implications of purchasing a Registered Home Ownership Savings Plan (RHOSP)? Who is eligible to apply for a RHOSP? How much can you contribute annually? These are some of the questions answered in a new pamphlet , recently issued by Revenue Canada, Taxation.
Entitled "Registered Home
Ownership Savings Plans", it
covers the most common
'situations a person ma;
encounter in contributing to a
RHOSP. To avoid confusion
between the terms of a RHOSP
and those of a Registered Retire-
men Savings Plan, a special
section outlines the significant
=""differences between the two
plans.
Nearly a quarter of a million
plans were registered in 1975, the
first year- the plans were
available. Experience with the
plan in the first year revealed
cucumbers, squash and melons, have this potential. Supporting. of the large fruit of these crops can be done with net re, that that is tied to the fenc&' To: es- also make a good crop to train up your fence since they -enjoy the additional sunlight.• With a little imagination, you can turn your bacAyfrd fence into both a beautiful d .productive part of your ho areas of possible difficulty, which' are discussed in the booklet: For instance, you should be aware that you can be the-beneficiary of a RHOSP only once in your lifetime. The timing of the withdrawal of your RHOSP funds in the year you occupy your home (or within the first 60 days after the end of that year) is important.
The booklet explains why.-It' also
explains how you might inadver-
tently make' an excess contri-
bution and what can be done if
that happens.
What about the tax impli-
cations to a spouse when .the _
married owner of a RHOSP dies?
That and other matters affecting
spouses and RHOSPs are
ditcussed.
Before anyone buys a RHOSP,
they should acquaint themselves
with the rules. The pamphlet, the
latest in the Tax Information
Pamphlet series, is available free
of charge from any District
Taxation Office.

quently get together only
at mealtimes," observes
architect Russell Childs.
"That's why I design
kitchens as family centers
where people can spend
more time together."
Mr. Childs is consultant
to Whirlpool Corporation
on kitchen recycling de-
sign and architecture, and
he specializes in putting
new life into old homes.
He, prefers the term re-
cycling to remodeling be-
cause it means converting
existing materials for new
use, and that is exactly
what happens-in redesign-
ing older homes.
"Many old homes were
designed and built for
affluent families of an
earlier day, and some con-
tained servant quarters
which the family never
saw," he explains.
"The kitchen, of course,
was the work center of
these =quarters and was
iiever meant fOr family
use. Today many people
who have bought these
charming older homes are
trying to work in these
kitchens on a day-to-day
basis, and they don't op-
erate effectively."
Mr. (Childs redesigns
these kitchens so that the-
woman preparing a meal
can be with her guests or
other members of the fam-
ily during, preparation.
"The cook no longer has
to feel like a servant, rele-
gated to lonely work in
an isolated area of the
house while others are
watching TV or enjoying
themselves without her,"
he says.
"Family and friends can
join in on the chopping,
slicing, peeling, grating,
stirring, mixing and other
activities in an attractive
setting designed to en-
courage communication."
His kitchens are design-
ed with major appliances,
• counters and cabinets po-
sitioned for optimum ef-
ficiency of human energy
and the conservation of
electrical energy, as well
as for congeniality and
good company.
"Good floor planning in-
cludes adhering to the
three-point working ar-
rangement Whenever pos-
sible, with an area for
preparation and cleanup
(sink, disposer, dishwash-
er) positioned between the
cooking (range) and food
storage (refrigerator)
areas.
"However, this plan can
be overruled if an individ-
ual's work habits make
another plan more suit-
able. Each kitchen should
be recycled with a partied-
lar family in mind for the
hours spent there to be as
comfortable and pleasant
as possible," he asserts.
"The ideal 'work trian-
gle' can and should be
violated when there are
good reasons," he ex-
plains. "For instance when
the view from a window
is so serene and beautiful
that the Woman of the
house wanted the sink placed there so she may enjoy the landscape. "In essence a new de-sign should exemplify the kitchen as a family and
