Comfortable Living
The home has taken on a new dimension with
the introduction of modern services — heating
systems that you never have to touch apart from
the service man's yearly inspection — modern
copper plumbing with soldered joints that is prac-
tically trouble free for the life of the house—
electrical power that does your washing, drying and
ironing, sweeps the floor, opens tin cans, cooks
your Meals, washes the dishes then provides you
with an evening of entertainment. The modern
home has been improved not only through the
relief of household chores but through better
building materials and building techniques as well.
Graded lumber, rust proof nails, long lasting paints,
water-proof bonded plywoods, built-in storm sash,
mineral 'wall insulation, these and many other
advanced features add to the comfort of living in
the modern home. In fact the home buyer today
gets more value for his money than ever before,
considering the increase in the average income
for Canadians has kept pace with the increase in
costs of the average Canadian home. Canadian
homes today are among the best in the world and
are serving •as models for observers from other
countries. •

Standards Guard
The Owner
And Community
Building standards for resi-
dential construction help the
home owner in a, number of
ways. They not only 'ensure
the structural safety of t h e
house and the satisfactory per-
formance' of equipment but also.
help to provide' adequate shel-
ter, comfort and fire protection.
The appearance. of 'the house
'itself, both exterior and inter-
ior, can be enhanced by set-
ting certain standards of qual-
ity and workmanship.
Minimum housing standards
prescribed by Central Mortgage
and Housing Corporation f o r
houses financed under the Nat-
ional Housing Act have' been
set up with a further aim in
mind. They establish a norm
of acceptable construction in
order to 'protect the lender's in-
vestment.
Housing standards prescribed
by CMHC are prepared by the
DiviSion of Building Research,
National Research Council, and
cover the requirements for
planning, construction and Mat-
erials for detached 'houses,
semi, - detached 'houses, duplex
houses and row housing. For
apartment buildings oonstructed
with NHA finariting the Apart-
ment Building Standards' are
applicable.
Other Codes
There are also provincial and
municipal codes governing the
building 'of houses and the in-
stallation of Serviees such as
plumbing, electrical SystemS
and gm. In some cases these
are even Mare exacting than
'the standards presetibed by
CMHC, 'but no Confliction ar-
iSes since the Corporation rec.-
egniZes that the higher stand-
