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.

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. -The temperature to he main, tained while pouring concrete and while the concrete is! hax ening will be found in .tliott%- ing Standard's", a boolc able from Central )Mortgage and I-lousing Corporation- News of Auburn Correspondent: MRS.
