FARM HOME LIGHTING
Whether the big dining table is lo
cated in the dining room or kitchen,
the farm family gathers'around it
three times a day for meals, as well
as for many additional pleasures and
tasks. Cutting out patterns, keeping
accounts, doing the children’s home
work, playing family games and a
dozen other activities, bring every
member of the rural family to this
central gathering spot, several times
each day.
Canadian General Electric lighting
specialists say all this activity needs
good light, both in the evening and
on rainy or dark winter days. The
exceptionally good, drop ceiling fix
ture shown in this picture supplies it.
The fixture hangs low enough over the
table, and its diffusing bowl prevents
glare, and employs a 100-2(10-300 watt
bulb so that the amount of light can be
varied to suit, the task being done.
For eating, the 200-watt level is suf
ficient. But when , mother is mending
and the children are studying in the
evening, the 300-watt level is best.

TAKE A TIP
1. Try a small paintbrush -for clean
ing hard-to-get-at corners.
2. A paste of equal 'portions of salt
and floui’ moistened with vinegar
will lend lustei’ to discolored
brass or copper. Let the paste
harden. Wash off with water.
3. Dust walls from the flooi’ up. The
fine threads of dust hang down.
■Best implement is a broom cover
ed with flannel.
4. The window sills will be easier- to
keep clean if you wax them after
washing.
5. Housecleaning is no time to wear
yourself out cleaning silver by

where each piece can touch an

silver with water. To each quart

Report of Operations for 1946
During 1946, 13,030 farmers ob
tained loans totalling pearly
$10,000,000 under The IFIarm Im
provement Loans Act. A report
covering the first full year’s opera
tion of this Act was tabled in Par
liament by the Minister of Finance,
Honourable Douglas Abbott,
Loans are made through the
3,100 branches of the chartered
banks for the improvement and
velopment of farms and tor the
provement of living conditions
farms. The interest rate is 5 per
cent simple interest per annum, and
Ioans may be made for periods up
to ten years. The legislation aims
at assisting particularly the aver
age farmer who in the past has not
always been able to obtain bank
credit for farm improvement pur
poses.
Farm implements and ’farm
trucks account for >$7,488,347 of
loans made during 1946. These
loans represent an actual sales
volume of approximately $12,500,-
000. From information available it
is reasonable to assume that prac
tically all .farm implement sales in
Canada requiring financing are
now being financed either through
loans obtainable under The Farm
Improvement Loans Act or through
regular bank loans. The result
should 'be -a substantial saving to
the farmer, not only in the purchase
price of his farm implements but
also in finance charges and inter
est rates previously prevailing for
this type of financing.
Included in the total are loans
to 1,00 g farmers to clear and break
an estimated 50,000 acres of new
land, mostly in the pioneer sections
of western Canada. Loans for foun
dation and breeding stock account
ed fox’ 303 loans totalling $190,93 7.
One of the most important class
es of loans is that for the construc
tion, alteration and repair of farm
buildings including farm dwellings
and separate houses for farm help.
As the supply of material and labor
becomes more adequate, it is ex
pected that loans foi’ these pur
poses will be greatly expanded.

the Act has been particularly suc
cessful in the three Prairie Prov
