MOVillg WO a new homq Or
just planning on redecorating
your present, home? Wall to wall
'carpeting is still one of the most
popular "looks" in home
decorating today.
But when it conies to buying
carpeting, .many customers have
little knowledge of the product
they intend to purchase.
Furthermore, the variety of
fibres,
brands and .prices only
add to the dilemma. $o before
you invest, Constuhers'
Association of Canada suggest
you investigate.
A buying guide on "Carpets
and Rugs" is available free on
request and will provide you
with accurate information on
the various fibres, types of
weave and quality of carpeting
required for the various "wear
areas" in your home.
A few pointers to remember:
* Plain colors show dirt more
readily than patterned ones.
* Patterns with darker colors
show dirt less than those with
light colors.
* Light colors tend to fade
more rapidly.
* Complaints of poor wear
are often due to selecting the
wrong grade of carpet for the
purpose.
• * There is little difference in
wearing qualities between
all -wool and 80-20 wool -nylon
blends.
* In heavy traffic areas,
carpets with an even pile texture
retain their original appearance
better than sculptured effects, as
the hard -twist yarn or uncut
loop pile gives better wear than
the more luxurious soft, plush
types. ,
-4` All nylons in plain colors
show,considerably more staining
and soiling than woll carpets.
When it comes to laying your
wall to wall carpeting one thing
to remember is that an underlay
will extend the life of any
carpet. Buy the best you can
afford, especially . for stairways.
There is a maxim about
underlays well accepted by all
who know carpets: poor
earpet—needs one; a good- carpet
deserves one."
The main function of an
underlay is to prolong the wear
life of the carpet by adding
resilience and protecting the
backing from abrasion on a hard
floor surface. It also adds- to the
qualities of warmth and comfort
inherent in a good carpet.
'We've built
up a storehouse
of warm wishes'for
a Merry Christmas,
and we'd like
to offer them to you
and your family
at this time. And it
is with much
appreciation that we.
thank you
for the real pleasure
t)f serving you.

a
No type or undexiay is ideal in
all respects. Jute has il' less
resilience than hair -felt or, rubber
so that it should not; be used for
heavy wear areas. Waffled
sponge rubber has excellent
resilience, good ventilation and,
resistance, to mildew but this is
the most expensive type.
For installation of wall to wall
broadloom; a reputable layer is
essential. Skill and experience
are most necessary because
carpets improperly laid will
stretch and buckle during use.
"Power stretching!' gives best
results .but stretching with a
"knee -kicker" gives good results
when used by an expert. Tacking
is the most common way of
fastening carpet edges. However,
an increasing proportion of
carpets is being laid now by a
newer system, Strips of wood,
with pins angled to grip the
carpet edge, are nailed to the
floor adjacent to the skirting to
give a finish which eliminates ,the
indented edges" caused by
tacking.
When buying a carpet, the
quote given by the store should
include the cost of the carpet,
underlay and installation. Have
the dealer put in writing exactly
what his price includes and
exactly what type of material
will be provided. Ask for small
samples so that you can compare
the carpeting and underlay when
it is delivered.
Despite the attractive
advertisements proclaiming free
underlays, free installation, and
other free attractions,

A special: ChriStinas Au*,
$tar of Dethlehein, is, the feature

-sl'oronto's McLaughlin
second year of operation,
Since its public opening Nov.
2, 1968, the Planetarium, part of
the Royal Ontario Museum, has
become one of the city's.major
attractions. In its first full year,
it recorded a total of 404,826
visitors. Of these, 248,285
attended public shOws in its
355 -seat Theatre of the Stars
while the remainder ntered the
building to see ,it elaborate
astronomical displays or to
attend school shows. A total of
99,252 youngsters and teachers
saw the special school shows in
the first year. '
The Star of Bethlehem show,
continuing to Jan. 11, recreates
the stars and planets as they
appeared on that first Christmas
'almost .2,000 years ago. It poses
and attempts to answer ' the
question: which was the bright
star that the Bible says guided
the Wise Men to the stable in
Bethlehem. -•
The show is presented
Tuesday through 'Friday at 3:30
and 8 p.m. On Saturdays there
are five shows and on Sundays

The Planetarium was a gift to
the 11014 and the people of
Ontario from, R. S. McLaughlin
of Oshawa, who was chairman of
the board of General Motors of
Canada. The 98 -year-old Mr.
McLaughlin gave $2;250,000 to
build and equip the domed
building, then established a
$1,000,000 trust fund to
develop its program.
'In • its first year the
Planetarium presented six public
shows: Venture into Space; The
Ways of the Planets; Between
the Stars ; Mars, Planet of..
Mystery; Some Famous Stars;
and The World of theMoon.
Admission to ,a Planetarium
show is $1.00 for adults, 50
cents for -children 8-14.

admitted to the theatre but they
may visit with an adult the
spectacular exhibit areas of the
building.
Advance tickets may be
obtained from the Planetarium
Box Office, 100 Queen's Park
(immediately south of the
Museum) either in person or by

Substitutes for DDT
The recent ban. on DDT
should not cause field crop
growers much of a problem in
Ontario, except possibly where
tile control of cutworm in corn
is concerned.
So says Professor Harold
Goble, Department of Zoology,
University of Guelph, who notes
that even for cutworm DDT was
not recommended here in 1969.
Among the replacements for
DDT are a group of insecticides
known as the organaphosphates.
This group contains some very
effective, .yet very dangerous to
handle, materials. Two that are
"still being widely used and- are
unaffected by the recent ban are
parathion and Phosdrin.
Methoxychlor, endosulfan
will also be more widely used.
These last three are relatively
safe to use as far as the operator
is concerned, and none should
pollute . the atmosphere if
properly applied.
Professor Goble points out
that growers should be as well
informed as possible on the
hazards of using organ-
ophosphates. Rubber gloves,
respirators, and protective
clothing are required before
some applications can be made.
Growers should be sure to
enquire about the need for such
protective clothing when they
purchase hazardous chemicals.
The 1970 fruit, vegetable and
field crop recommendations of
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Foodwill be
