Winter is here! Great wea- ther for skiing, sledding, sleigh rides and for skating in sub-zero climes. Ever wonder how our lungs cope with those frosty blasts ? It's something to think about. If frigid air ever got deep into our lungs, 'the delicate tissues there would freeze stiff as boards, We would suffocate and die from lac--k of oxygen. The reason we don't suffer that grim fate every time we breathe in freezing air is that, fortunately, our lungs have their own built-in air-conditioning system. The cold air we breathe is first forced through a maze of other passages before it hits the lungs— the nostrils, throat ton- sils, voicebox, windpipe, and some others. At each spot along the way, the air is heated by a type of radiator-action. Probably you don't really think you have holes in your head, but you do! There are hollow chambers in the bones 'of your head, and air lingers in those chambers. As the cold air flows in through the mazes of passageways, it mixes with air lingering, in the hollow chambers and warms the original air. By the time the freezingair reaches our most delicate lung tissue—the tiny air sacs—the air has been warmed almost to body temperature at lightning-like speeds. This is, indeed, quite an AC- onviishthent, but then the lungs are remarkable organs. Knowing how they work and making life as' easy AS pos- sible for them 18 really 'Vital. Why not learn More about your lungs and breathing---after all, you have to breathe to live!

When steps and paths form Part of the garden, they must be treated in a more subtle fashion than when they are merely utilitarian such as front steps, which are lighted from the door light. A very effective way of illumination is to mount floodlamps in trees where they are hidden from view and will create interesting shadow patterns on 'the ground and paths. Statuary or similar man-made objects are often important points of interest, They are best lighted from above or the lighting should be arranged so that only the silhouette is seen. If statues of figures are lighted from below, a most grotesque effect will be given which will not be at all flattering. One very nice thing about garden lighting is that you light what you want to see and screen out unsightly or undesirable details. Several sheltered bulbs of white light may be used to trace the interesting portions of the garden design. Permissive society . . . Continued from Page 1A "Obeying the law is just — Chief Westlake pod common_ sense" that once again there will be respect for law and property. In relation to this, Mr. Westlake also propounds that the young people of today look for and respect discipline but simply cannot find it, and this is a cause of the generation gap. On the subject of preventative policing in reference to traffic violation he said safety is the hardest thing in the world to preach because "an accident is just a word until it happens to you," Chief Westlake's final remark was that "obeying the law is just good common sense"; and he personally sees a return of common sense to our society, Among the list of successful candidates in recent Western Ontario Conservatory of Music was Wendy Caldwell of Londesboro who passed her grade III harmony examination. Being a police chief, Lloyd Westlake admits that his theoileS on law and order are relatively positive. This is a significant change -from the main stream when it is fashionable today to be critical and pessimistic on such subjects. He thinks public involvement is a good thing and that this concern will be a definite cause of the return of "good common sense," and therefore, the improved maintenance of law and order. * * * BY A. B. alIPKI-4Y As the trend in garden planning leans more towards an integrated house and garden, scheme, the illumination of gardens for pleasure and safety is receiving More and m' re attention. At night, light ties together indoor and outdoor living areas and creates new interest by emphasizing distant parts of the garden, Effeetive garden lighting is not only attractive, but practical as well. It accents the natural night-time beauty of your flowers and foliage, while extending your hours of outdoor living, The lovely outdoor scenes viewed during the day are lost when the sun goes down and windows become large black mirrors. Garden or landscape lighting allows you to see through the dark mirrors. • Sunshine shows up the beauty of the garden in the daytime, but electric light can do something quite different. First, before consulting your electrician or hydra company about such things as underground wiring, weatherproof cables, outlets and voltage, you must consider what there is to light. Look at the area during the day from inside the home or from the patio or porch — any location from where you would be viewing the scene at night. The changing seasonal interests of the garden recreational areas also provide an opportunity for creating a series of colorful garden scenes against the overall and diffused background of night. One of the first things to learn about garden lighting is to use the lights sparingly. Merely flooding the garden with light in an attempt to disperse the darkness defeats the artistic purposes of light and its application in creating glamor, enchantment and pictorial association in the garden. Another basic consideration is to conceal the light source as much as possible and, to avoid at all cost, aiming the light at your neighbor's windows and gardens. A, tree ,of special ornamental merit might be .pro of the first plants to emphasize with lights to illuminate its blooms, autumnal color, silhouette and bark, each in the appropriate season. A tree with an open structure can be illuminated by a floodlamp placed at the base to shine up through the branches and leaves. Often the structural line and form of the tree are its main beauty. Thus, the floodlamps are aimed to graze the tree trunk. You may also see objects of fine ,form or line in the silhouette. As a succession of color appears in your garden — for example the golden forsythia in early spring followed by spirea, lilacs and crabapples, an appropriate beam of light may follow them by the use of portable fixtures and an assortment of colored bulbs to complement or emphasize the color of the blooms. In general where there are several colors or when the green color provides the dominant note, white light is satisfactory. The bluish light of the mercury vapor lamp intensifies the beauty of greens. The yellow incandescent light, on the other hand, tends to deaden or dull the color of foliage, Want a home? Get a mortgage loan!

VlCfORIA.,,, GREY 1-fitigt Atrite IhOo khigSton Ooderloh To brighten or intensify flower colors, direct a bulb of the same color upon them. Using colored gelatin over an ordinary white light helps to save on the number of lamps required for a complete garden lighting kit. A colorful pattern of shades may be created by using a combination of red, blue and green lights, casting the shadows on a light-colored wall or other surface. A flower bed will serve as a very good point of interest. Here the flowers should be accented by light, particularly where they may trace the basic design. The best way to light them is by using portable mushroom-type lamps that are low-mounted and provide wide-angled light. These lamps are very flexible and may be, moved around 'as different flowers come into ,bloom. Do not allow one visible light bulb or this may spoil the whole effect. The actual source of light and equipment should be hidden as much as possible or allowed to blend into the surroundings as these mushroom-types do. Water makes an extremely effective picture when lighted, where it, is still, running, bubbling or spraying. A small pool can be far more enchanting at night than during the day, It may be a focal point in a garden you walk through, or better still, right outside a window where it can be enjoyed from inside. Light the water with units concealed at the bottom of the pool or recessed under the edge.
