The new odorless paint is
available in three sheens -- flat,
semi-gloss and gloss, so walls
can be done in Bat or semi'
gloss and the woodwork in
matching glossy finish, You'll
need, a brush for the- woodwork,
of course, and also for edges
and corners which cannot be
reached with the roller.
Another paint which makes
winter-time decorating a plea--
sure is latex-base paint. A
great advantage of this type is
that it dries in minutes and
the drapes can go, up again half
an hour after the job is finished.
It goes on so easily, with so
little muss, that you can take
your time and do, a wall a day,
moving the furniture back in
place immediately. It has no
objectionable "painty' odor,

Thank you, Mr's. F. . ., for
your nice letter. After reading
of your experience with 60 cy-
cle conversion .1 feel that our
little set-to was as nothing in
comparison. Imagine your being
left out altogether. That is real-
ly one for the book! However,
I suppose with such as tremen-
dous undertaking we must ex-
pect mistakes and faulty work-
manship occasionally. That, I
presume, we must overlook.
What I do object to is the prac-
tise of the Hydro Commission
of sending these men out on a
conversion late at night. A wo-
man alone in an out-of-the-way
farm house might be frightened
to death to have7 ithneone" come
rapping at the door. How is she
to know it is only one of the.
Hydro men? She cannot know
who it is unless she opens the
dpor — and that she may be
afraid to do. If the superinten-
dent in charge of the job in-
tends sending men late at night
then the occupants of the house
should be notified in advance.
This same correspondent de-
plores the fact that so many peo-
ple think dropping a dog or cat
off on the highway is a good
way of getting rid of it. She has
reason to object, as one of each
has come to her home this win-
ter, She wishes I would say
something about it. Believe me,
Mrs. P. . . I could say plenty.
To me that is a callous and des-
picable trick. And yet, strange-
ly enough, I don't Seleive these
pet-droppers have any intention
of being unkind, or would abuse
an animal in their own home.
They just think by' this method
the little creature will find a
new home, knowing full well
that few country people can re-
sist giving shelter -to the lost and
friendIeSs.

to father, unbeknown to the

little creature, But father is too
chicken-hearted to give it a

the' sense to take it to the Hu-
mane Society. Instead, some
Sunday while the children are
at Sunday School, he goes for .a
drive in the country; stops the
car near a farmhouse or a daub-
try home, drops the unwanted
cat or puppy oil the side of the
road and drives off with never a
