Home Plan Styles
Change With Time
Trend Today in House De:
signing Is Toward Placing
Kitchen and Garage at Front
of House — Living Quarters
at Rear,
A family builds or buys a Moine
not just for today but for the fu-
ture, so in designing or selecting a
home families wilt benefit by con-
sideliag architectural trends, the
Federal Housing Administration
suggests.
YARD AT REAR
There is a growing movement
today to place garage, kitchen and
service facilities at the front of
the house and to move living quar-
ters to the rear. houses are being
moved forward on the lot, allowing
greater use of the yard as addi-
tional living space. The uniform
building line is being eliminated,
and Houses are being placed so
that each hone will be separated
as widely as possible from the
neighboring dwellings.
Improvements in the design of
so-called "modern" houses, new
materials, and new methods of
building are helping to broaden the
acceptance of modern styles of ar-
chitecture. •

"Glad To Be here": Winant Answers King's Welcome
IKing George is pictured shaking hands with John G. Winant, new
United States ambassador to the Court of St. James, upon his arrival
in England. Breaking precedent in the seine manner in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt broke precedent by going to 'meet Lord Halifax, re-
cently, the King welcomed Winant at a wayside station, between Lon-
don and Bristol, where 'Winant ]tended the Icing his credentials. When
greeted Winant briefly said, "I have not much to say. I am glad to, be
here—there is no place I would rather be at this time than in England."

Far among the lonely hills
As I lay beside, my sheep,
Rest carne down upon my soul .
From the everlasting deep,

See the rivers, how they run
Changeless to a changeless sea;

Fixed will and stern decree,

Calls Color Movies
Easy for Amateurs
Science. has made the art of.
taking and projecting one's own
color movies as simple as dial-
ing a telephone, Dr. A. I. Willin-
sky told the Royal Canadian In-
stitute at a recent meeting in.
Toronto. He gave a demonstration
of what Inay be done with inex-
pensive equipment,. screening an
hour-long travelogue. "Above all,
the amateur camera is truthful,"
he 'said. "It shows the Kasbah of
Algiers as it is, not as Hollywood
would have us think it is."

HAVE I
HEARD?
L. A. G. Strong, the novelist,
brought back a pleasant story
from the country the other day.
"I am 'assured it is true, but pass
it on to you without comment,"
he said. "One of the local big-
wigs, returning after a couple of
weeks' absen9e, learned that a
certain old roan in the village had
lost his wife, and went off to pay
a visit of condolence.
I'm sorry to hear you've
buried your wife'
" 'Eh?'
" 'I'm sorry to hear you've
buried your wife.'
" `We 'ad to. She died.' "
—o—
The mistress of the housc-
entered the dining -room
just as a burglar was in the
act of purloining the. silver.
"What are you doing?" ask-
ed the lady.
"I'm at your service, Mad-
am," said the thief.

The next Sunday was Mission-
ary Sunday, and the boys had
been asked to Iearn an appropri-
ate verso to recite when putting
their pennies into the box,
"The Lord loveth a cheerful
giver," said Tonnny.
"I -le who giveth to tate poor
lendeth to the Lord," followed
Johnny,
Then came Billy's turn, and
as he somewhat reluctantly in-
serted a penny, he said:
"A fool and his money are
soon parted."

The teacher believed in giving
her class lessons in general know-
ledge.
"What is this?" she asked one
day, holding up it small object.
A pay envelope," replied
little Freddie promptly,
"Good 1" exclaimed the teacher.
"And what did it contain?"
`;Money,' said Freddie, "your
wages."
"Very good, Freddie!" she
said, beaming round the class.
".Any questions about it?"
"Please, teacher," remarked
one thoughtful child, "where do
you work?"
About the meanest thing
a woman can do when her
husband's name is mention-
ed is to sigh, look resigned
and say nothing.
Natural Gas Well
Struck in Oxford
Natural gas has been .struck
within eight miles of Woodstock,
Ont., by a drilling outfit operat-
ing on the ' farm of Norman
Thornton, two miles ' west of
Sweaburg. 'The discovery is not
likely to be enlarged, as it isnot
developing enough pressure to
he of commercial value, but it is
likely that further efforts will
be made in the neighborhood to
locate a main pocket of the gas.
This strike is the first ever made
in the Woodstock area. The well
is the fifth test well sunk for the
Dominion Natural Gas Company
in recent months, three having
been . put down in 'the Holdbrook
district last fall and one near
Beachville.

Quints' Home Town
In Fishing Area
Mention the name cf Callander
and readers immediately think of
the Dionne Quintuplets, but the
town has other claims to fame
inasmuch as it is a' jumping off
place for anglers whose objec
tives are Lake Nipissing and
French. River. This information
is contained in a new booklet on
hunting and fishing issued by the
Canadian National Railways. Fish
available in season include sal-
mon, trout, bass, musky, pike and
pickerel, and in 'the proper time
hunters can find deer, black
bear, ducks, partridge, when per-
mitted, and rabbits. Callander is
219 miles north of Toronto, on
the Canadian National System.

Many Birds Spend
Winter In Canada
Observations Have Been
Made on, 111 Kinds Who
Never Fly South
While it is true that the majority
of Canadian wildfowl and feathered
songsters fly'across the border ev-
ery autumn to winter somewhere
eolith of the Dominion, iuvesttga-
tion shows -that many birds remain
in Canada during the season of ice
and snow.
SMALL FRACTION OF TOTAL
Oottnts made by experienced voi-
unteer observers last Christmas at
fourteen Canadian centres, scatter-
ed from Nova Scotia to British .Col-
umbia, recorded 36,000 birds of 111
different kinds, While these obser-
vations provide a fair sample of the
winter bird population for analysis,
they represent only a small frac-
tion of the total for Canada. The
most abundant bird life in the Do-
minion 'in winter is found along
the coast of British Columbia, the
southern Coasts of the Maritime
Provinces, and in southern Ontario.
The largest single report this win-
. ter came from Hamilton, Ontario,
where more than 11,000 birds were
noted. -
Because the 1940 Christmas, per•
nod was mild and rainy across Can-
ada, many birds .that seldom stay
when the winters are cold were
observed. These include the robin,
phoebe, meadowlark, white -throat-
ed sparrow,' killdeer, horned lark,
blue -winged teal, great blue heron,
and blackbirds.

THAT'S MY CHEW
Apple Vinegar
Newest Product
Developed in Dominion it
May Replace That Made
From Molasses
Housewives will soon be using a
clear vinegar made from Canadian
apples by a distillation process ev-
olved at the central experimental
farm, Ottawa.
Farm experts say the new vine-
gar IS expected to replace the com-
mon white wine vinegar now made
from imported molasses. It will pro-
vide a larger market for Canadian
apples and make possible an im-
portant saving in foreign exchange.
The discovery 01 a process for
making clear white vinegar from
apples is one of a number of steps
taken recently to provide a market
for Canada's large apple surplus,
disposal of which became difficult
when Great Britain stopped int-
Porting
ntporting apples from Canada on the
outbreak of war.
PLANT NEAR GEORGIAN BAY
In a normal year 3,500,000 gal-
lons of vinegar are used in Canada
and hitherto, officials said, less
than 750,000 gallons of this was
cider vinegar from apples. The rest
was made from commercial alcohol
which in turn is a product of lin-
ported molasses.
Cider vinegar was not popular
because it was of brownish color
while the other product was clear.
The production of a cider vinegar
as clear as water is under way at
a large distilling plant in the Geor-
gian Bay area of Ontario while an-
other such plant is under construc-
tion in Nova Scotia.
The amount of cheques cashed
by chartered banks in 82 Can-
adian centres in 1940 was 584,-

Why Easter's )ate
Is Changed Yearly
The Christian Church Early
Decided That the Easter Fes.
tival Should Coincide With
The Jewish Passover„ A
Moveable Feast
Many People wonder why the
date of Raster should change year,
by year, while Christmas is a fix-
ed holiday. The reason is that the
Crucifixion took place at the time
of the Jewish Passover, which, due
to peculiarities of the Jewish cal-
endar, is a moveable feast, The
Christian Church therefore decided
that the Easter festival should co-
incide with the Jewish Passover.
Easter can come any day from
1Vlarch 22 to April :.5, a range of
five weeks.
FIXED BY THE IIOON
The method of fixing Raster is
complicated, and would take too
long Id explain here. Easter Day
is the first Sunday after the full
moon which happens either upon
or next after the spring equinox.
If tho full moon happens on a Sun.
day, Easter Day is the Sunday
after. Owing to the imperfections
of our calendar, the spring equinox
for fixing Easter is, curiously, a
calculated date, and not the actual
spring equinox.
