For the price of a can or two of paint you can have a whole new surface in ft design of your own choice. First, give the linoleum a good scrubbing with soap and water, fol­ low by a once-over with turpentine to remove every trace of wax, Then choose a good quality enamel or floor paint and apply one or more coats. But don’t stop here. When the paint is dry, create a pattern in a contrasting color. Stippled effects are attractive and. easy to achieve. Just dip a piece of ordinary house­ hold sponge in a shallow pan of paint and dab on the floor. White on black, for example, gives a marble­ like look to the floor. A spatter finish is equally effective, but a little more care is required. The spatters are made by striking a paint-filled brush against a stick held in the other hand. Size ofr the spatters varies according to the amount of paint in the brush and the distance between brush -and floor. For. a, gay effect use several colors, but take careful aim or you’ll have spattered walls, too. Finally, a coat or two of varnish will protect your new floor surface. Car Damaged?

It will link most major centres of Canada from Sydney, N.S., to Vancouver, B.C. Build­ ing this communications "skyway” is a vast project. requiring many diverse skills.

Skilled engineers determine the exact route of the network by means of slender temporary test towers,’ such as this one (lower left) thrusting 200 feet sky­ ward on a tentative site near Halifax. With the sites chosen, work begins on the permanent station. The towers at each location, ranging in height to 350 feet, will be topped by huge antennae resembling a giant sugar-scoop (upper right). The microwaves are ampli­ fied at each station and 'relayed by the antennae to the next station in the system. Even as the towers are being erected, technicians work inside the equipment buildings installing intricate electronic apparatus (lower right). Trans-Canada Microwave System Will Serve Local TV Microwave radio relay towers; land­ marks with significance comparable to Canada’s first trancontinental rail­ ways or telephone lines, are becoming familiar to more and more people in Canada as construction of. the world’s longest microwave chain progresses. This microwave radio relay system,’ strung out across the 'country, will enable Canadians to see television programs originating in studios from coast to coast by 1958. Wingham’s new television station, CKNX-TV, will be served by a micro­ wave system, enabling it to carry net­ work shows, when ' construction is completed on the microwave hookup, sometime during the next few months. It is understood that the existing microwave system will be extended from Kitchener, to .Wingham to provide this service. It is only two years since Bell Tele- phone's Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal radio relay system began to carry long distance*telephone calls and net­ work television programs. On May 14, 1953, it carried the first network for the CBC. Since then it has regularly transmitted network television and the number of Ibng distance telephone calls carried has steadily increased. The Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal sys­ tem was extended to Quebec City in "July, 1954, after nearly “two years of planning and contruction. In the fall of 1954 a link to carry television from the main system to Kingston - was completed, and a similar spur* to Peterborough was placed in service in March, 1955. Connection with tele­ vision networks in the United States is provided by a radio relay link be­ tween Buffalo, N.Y., and Toronto. W ,1 Trans-Canada System This system ib a forerunner of, but will becomes part of, the Trans-Can­ ada Telephone System’s microwave radio relay network which by 1958 will have 137 relay stations along the main 3,800-mile route spanning the country^ from Sydney, N.S. to Van­ couver, B.C., The spurs to Halifax Moncton, Saskatoon, Edmonton and Lethbridge will toal an additional 477 . miles and require 18 radio relay stations. Along the 1,200-mile Toronto- North Bay-Winnipeg section of the transcontinental skyway, relay stat­ ions are already under construction and this portion of the system will go into service in the ftll of 1956. East of Quebec City, path testing has just become completed* Canada’s cross-couritry skyway is a co-operative undertaking. The Trans-Canada (Telephone System is a \ group of seven major telephone sys­ tems in Canada. Each is building the facilities for the vast microwave chain : in the territory it serves, and connect­ ing them with those of other systems. ' In Ontario and Quebec the work is Under the jurisdiction of The Boll 1 Telephone Company of Canada, Initially the coast-to-ceast skyway ; will provide one video channel in each direction and telephone circuits as required in the various section. There will be a standby channel in each direction for service protection. As requirements increase, more facilities can be installed using the same relay towers and antennae." New stations' being erected in the Trans-Canada system have a new type of antenna - with- an ultimate capacity of almost 2Q,000 telephone circuits or 30 television channels.' These anten­ nae, like giant sugar scoops pointing to the ’sky, are symbols of a new era of communications in Cantda, and tokens of the telephone industry’s con­ fidence in the future development of the country. BELGRAVE Greg Clark to Air Hunting Experiences On Outdoor Program Radio listeners across Canada are once again invited to explore the great Canadian outdoors this fall with well-known sportsman-author Greg Clark, associate editor of Week­ end Picture Magazine.

So we’re glad to report that aluminum has turned up as a noise-absorbing “honey­ comb” in an aircraft company’s test-cell. Hundreds of aluminum tubes of differing diameters and lengths, filled with absorbent, sound-baffling material, make up the end walls. And we are told that by the time the giant roar has bounced around in these aluminum mazes it comes out the other end thoroughly “baffled” and weakened to a hum.
