NAME ADDRESS CITY PROV. Modernize Basement For Rock 'N Roll. Fans F'resley may come, and (some hope!) Presley may go, but rock 'n' roll will go on forever. If you don't believe it, think back. Lo ragtime, the Charleston, Black Bottom, Swing, each the "rock 'n' roll" of its day. So it may not always be known as rock 'n' roll, but one thing is sure ... , whatever it is called it will still be loud! Is there, any hope? Well, ac- cording to the Canadian, Insti- tute of Plumbing and Heating, while there may be no cure for the disease, at least there can be some relief. In many homes, it has taken the form of the finished basement. This may be neither padded nor entirely soundproofed, but it certainly does provide a dungeon into which the ydung fry can be ban- ished, record player, cokes, noise and all.

Lodge No. 210 held their service iii Grand' Bend United Mirth On Sundays The basement has, in fact, be- come a definite entity in home life of late years. Once a dingy place, in which an oncient fur- nace huffed out soot and dust, surrounded by an accumulation of household junk, and flanked by an unlovely fuel bin, it. has become ,a clean, bright living space, contributing its full share to the life of the family, and making a :particular contribu- tion to leisure living. This, of course, has become almost standard equipment in new homes, but owners of older" type houses, built two, three and more decades ago, are convert- ing their basements in increas- ing numbers. And almost any basement can be brought up to date. To begin with, new types of heating plants have made the. change possible. These new beauties are so much smaller than their old-time counter -parts that -they con be housed in their own enclosure in a corner of the basement,• leaving much the lar- ger portion of underground space for better uses. Even if a cen- tral location is essential, the pro- blem is not difficult, because new types of heating plants are suf ficiently well designed to be an attractive piece of furniture for the basement play -room in them- selves. Finally, it should be remem- bered that the installation of a new heating plant not only opens up the basement space for more useful purposes, but carries side bonuses as well in fuel economy, labour-saving ease of operation and, of course, the advantage for which they were really de- signed in the first place ... . constant heat and plenty of it throughout the lopg months of Our rigorous northern climate. New Look For Sum er Cottages Radical Departure From Origiona Canada's first summer home looked like Southern plantations with soaring pillars and broad open verandas. Our early sunt rater cottages were homey shel ters with screened porches. Bu today contemporary design i changing things. For instance the rafters of the Canadian cot tage pictured right are con strutted the same as those on thousands. of Canadian summe cottages, but the soaring gabs window and the fact that thi cottage is all roof are departure to startle most cottage dwellers Yet, a lot of summer iron tiersmen may be won over to contemporary design by two o this .cottage's features; the win dow with its breathtaking lake to -Sky view, and the simplicity and economy if its construction It's a cottage as at home in the woods as a trapper's lean-to, but more imaginative, and very im- portant too is the fact that your handyman cottage builder could run it up himself for 2,000, Canadian Homes and Gar- dens describes another unique cottage, situated on Ontario's Lake Simcoe, It has a seven - sided living -dining • area facing south to the sun and a view. A wall, with two fireplaces placed back-to-back divides the living area from the dining area. An- other simple three xoom cottage built on a rocky hill site (with living room built around one of the large boulders) also follows the new look with these interest- ing features. The structure of stained wood siding and glass panels is supported on concrete piers, with windows on three sides for a sunlit interior, and a flat roof that doubles as a pri- vate sunbathing platform, "You should let your imagin- ation soar when you plan your cottage," suggests Vancouver de- signer Geoffrey Smith, who df- fers several refreshing designs of his own in the same issue. -His reasons: Unlike city houses, the cottage remains in the family for generations, so it should -be designed with the future in mind, not the past. And 'second- ly, unhampered by design and building restrictions in the wilds where your cottage will be, you are free to design the cottage you want, even if it doesn't look like other cottages. To prove his point. Smith suggests for the awkward hillside site — a split- level design with a roof to floor window 'wall, punctuated by a cottage -high fireplace. Suggested materials: masonry walls, tongue and groove cedar roofs, fir mul- lions for window walls, cedar planks for interior partitions. Another design takes the pro- tective roof overhang idea to a new length. The cottage roof not only covers the central in- terior section, but also shields the two patios, one fol' the sun, the other for shade. A third cot- tage, `ideal for families who en- joy barbecues and a crackling evening fire, is dominated by o long fireplace - barbecue wall. This wall divides the living area from the bedrooms. It's a de- sign that can very adequately fit the needs of a ski -cabin as well. , Mosaics Are Rediscovered s signs. Now a revival is under way, reports Canadian Homes and Gardens. Wall plaques can - - bring the same rich .color and - life to your living rooms as an. t oil painting, and the tiles are s just as well suited to more cis- , ual use, as in table tops, lamps • and cigarette boxes, or for - architectural decoration as in the tiled surfaces of hearth and ✓ room divider . e The answer to the do-it:four- s selfer's dream, they're easy to s work `with, and a real challenge lies in choosing the colors and working out a successful design. Here's how to* make your own f mosaic tile designs. You'll need cement and grout, a thin mortar - you use to fill between the tiles. Work out design before cement- ing. it helps to mark the final design on table with a pencil, Cover about six square inches of table with cement and begin lay- ing tile, paper side up. Continue until surface is covered, beeping edges straight. When cement is set, wet tiles and scrape off paper. backing, Mix dry grout with water. Spread over entire sur- face, Leave 10 minutes, then re- move from surface with damp cloth. All cracks between tiles will be filled. Cover edge of table or plaque with molding of wood or metal. You can buy tiles at depart- ment stores and tile dealers; be sure to ask for glass mosaic tiles, they are harder than glaz- ed ceramic . tiles and far less likely to be broken. Age-old mosaic ,,tiles are go- ing contemporary, bringing bright colors and rich texture to tables, wall plaques, and even fireplaces. Greeks and Romans put mosaic on the floors of treir homes. And in the Christian era, the art found its finest expres- sion in religious murals and de-. ■ r ■ ■ CANADIAN PROPANF GAS & APPLIANCES G RATTO N & HOTSON • Phone 156 Grand Bend ■ Let's Talk About .:., ir Home Comfort!
