piano. Mrs. John Houston pre-
sented Marian Hickey with a
cheque for her prize winning
essay. This competition was
sponsored by the Toronto Star
for the best essay on "The

Marian thanked the society
for sponsoring the contest. Mr.

Mrs. William T. Robinson
introduced the guest speaker,
Dr, Ross who began his ad-
dress by quoting Oliver Gold-
smith's poem, "Sweet Auburn".
He spoke on the history of
medicine and stated that we
live longer now because de-
voted people have studied. He
said that in 1876 the first germ
was discovered and proven.
Charles Scott thanked Dr. Ross
for his interesting •address.
The Auburn Horticultural
Society was organized on. Sep,
termer 7, 1950 by E. Rose-
borough, Owen Sound and the
first president was. Mrs. F. O.
McIlveen with Mrs. Charles M.
Straughan, the secretary-tr-
easurer. There have been sev-
eral presidents in office.: Mrs.
W. T. Robinson, Mrs. Arthur
Grange, Mrs, Gordon R. Tay-
lor, Mrs. Bert Craig and now
Mrs. Kenneth Scott.
During the last ten years the
Auburn Society has promoted
many beautifying projects with
flowers. They converted desert-
ed street corners overrun with
weeds to colourful flowenbeds.
For years they had a flower
show with exhibitors coming
from all over the district,
The members had the letters
of the village made in cement
for both entrances on the high-
way and during the Christmas
season, door decorating con-
tests were held. The children
have been given seeds and the
boys were encouraged to make
bird houses.
The big project was the
transforming of the old hall
site into the lovely Manchester
garden park. This property
was donated to the Horticul-
tural Society by the Elliott
Bros. who had purchased the
old Forester's Hall.

.frost -Damage Can
Be Harmful
To Foundations
This is one of a. series of
articles by Central Mortgage
and Hewing Corporation,
Federal housing agency, on
building a house,
Provilded proper precautions
are taken, a concrete founda-
tion can be poured even in
severe winter weather, The
same rules for the pouring of
footings in winter apply to
foundations. One of the most
important precautions is to
protect the concrete from frost
damage while it is hardening,
or "setting",
A foundation is a larger
mass than a footing and gr-
eater surface is exposed to the
weather, Particular care must
be taken to guard against
freezing. The concrete itself
generates a certain amount of
heat by chemical action while
hardening. In extreme weather
this alone will not be adequate
and the concrete materials are
pre-heated at the mixing plant
before being loaded.
When low temperatures pre-
van extra protection is also
required at the site, If the
sub-floor is already up "sala-
manders" or other temporary
heating units can be placed in-
side the foundation. Heating
the outside of the wall is more
of a, problem, In this case tar-
paulins are often used in con-
junction with heating equip-
ment.
If salamanders are used,
frequent checks should be
made to ensure that they are
working effectively. If they
are being left unattended dur-
ing the night the fuel supply
should be checked every even-
ing. Special provisions should
be made for weekends.
An expensive foundation can
be ruined, or its strength gr-
eatly reduced, if it suffers frost
damage. Concrete, once weak-
ened by freezing while "set-
ting", cannot be improved.
Winter construction is "veal-cal only if every precaution is
taken to prevent such damage.

tained while pouring concrete
and while the concrete is! hax
ening will be found in .tliott%-
