FORMER SEAFORTH RESIDENT
Artist Gains Recognition
At .European Exhibitions
(From the Downsview Weston
News)
(Miss Govenlock is a well-
known former resident of Sea -
forth, -who now lives in Weston.
With her sister, Miss Anne
• Govenlock, she is a • frequent
visitor to town).
"Janet Govenlock, who recent-
ly retired from the Weston Col -
legate . and Vocational School
where she was in charge of the
teaching of art, has been recog-
nized in France and. Algeria for
outstanding art. For the past
three years she has been invit-
ed by the Federation Interna-
tionale Union Feminine Artist-
ique et Culturelle to submit
paintings for theirexhibition
in Vichy, France. All the paint-
ings submitted by Miss Goven-
lock have been hung.
It 1960, the first year Miss
Govenlock was honored by an
invitation, there , were only
three Canadian and three Am-
erican artists invited to submit
their pictures. This was the
first year any' -artists from this
continent were included in this
exhibition. Also in 1960, she
was invited to exhibit with the
association in North Africa but
due to conditions in Algeria,
this exhibition has now been
cancelled.
The exhibition in June, 1962,
at Vichy, France, was formally
opened by His Excellency Mon-
sieur Pierre Dupuy, Ambassa-
dor to Canada. Miss Govenlock
had two pictures, "The Three
Boats" and "Quiet Waters,"
both seascapes, hanging at this
exhibition. . The comments of
the adjudicator on her work
were as follows: "The effects
of light and of water reflections,
shadows and clarity, volumes
of space, all the characteristics
of water, are summed up in
those expressions of subtle, pic-
torial researches, which become
spontaneous for this woman
painter, who has so much na-
tural talent. We appreciate
once more, this quality in "The

Three Boats," as Well as in
"Quiet waters." Janet Goven-
lock has chosen these two
works to represent them, and
with such expression that no
abstraction could make her mis-
understood. Nature is truly por-
trayed in her. pictures and her
sensitive expression appeals to
our taste."
She has been written up in
"La Revue Moderne" which is
a Parish French art publication
in January, 1962. "In the ex-
cellent selection which the Wo-
men's Salon of Vichy is offer-
ing, Janet Govenlock represents,
in a happy way, the painting of
a Canadian landscape. Howev-
er, in the course of her studies
she had as .a teacher one of
the first Canadian Portraitists,
Archibald Barnes. But what the
landscape painter Franz John-
son taught her has guided her
-to seascapes, her preferred type
of landscape, and it is in this
field, as well as in still life,
that Janet Govenlock has ex-
hibited at this present time.
Her style, definitely objective,
gives to form and color all their
importance; clearly and vividly
the artist strives to show it as
it appears to her, , letting her
feelings speak without sacrific-
ing to a particular style or the-
ory. This is a work full of feel-
ing and the Salon of Vichy has
been happy to welcome it."
During her years with the
Weston Collegiate Miss Goven-
lock instilled in her students a
love and appreciation of art
and was the inspiration of
many students making art their
chosen careers. ,
Miss Govenlock paints' local-
ly, and in Northern Ontario and
as she spends a large portion
of her time in, Florida, has
painted many pictures of the
Florida Keys and especially of
a beautiful island near the Ba-
hamas, Green Turtle Key. She
has sold many pictures to resi-
dents of England, Florida,
Washington, Detroit. and Van-
couver and, of course, her work
is well represented in the
homes of Weston and Toronto.
Now she is retired from teach-
ing, she. is finding great enjoy-
ment in pursuing her favorite
recreation in her studio at 92
Church St., Weston."

With built-in electric heating units, you don't have to
extend or strain your present heating system. With
flameless electric heat, no heat is wasted up a chimney.
With individual thermostats, there's .no need to over-
heat the whole house to make one robm comfortable!
-Electric heating units can be installed anywhere and
any time, easily and inexpensively. Ask us for esti-
mates.
We completed the installation of electric heat in
the recently -erected all -electric home of Mrs. Lillian
Axtmann, East William Street, Seaforth.

s;on. 'A conservative break-
down of the time saved can be
figured roughly as averaging
out something like this:
Washing and dry-
ing clothes 6 hrs. weekly
Ironing 5 hrs. weekly
Shopping 6 i►rs. weekly
Dishwashing 101 hrs: weekly
Garbage disposal 1 hr. weekly
Time, saved with
automatic range 3 hrs, weekly
Misc. (sweeping,
etc.) 7 hrs, weekly
Total . 2,002 hrs. annually
The time consumed by daily
chores compares with the av-
erage working week. The abil-
ity to accomplish more and to
work efficiently are by-products
of total electric living, accord-
ing to the Live Better Elec-
trically Program.
The time and labor saving
aspect of electric living is im-
portant to the welfare of the
homemaker's family, especial-
ly in today's busy world.
The free time that women
are going to have in the\years
to come will probably keep
them as busy as the hours they
spent taking care of the family
chores in the past. With one
difference. What they do will
be of their own choosing and
not imposed on them -
As a result we may expect
the women of the 1970's to be
as different as the women of
the Victorian era were from the
flappers of the 1920's. Electric
living in the home will be the
largest contributory factor to
that change.
Electrical engineers suggest
that in 1979 the typical house-
wife will probably look 10 years
younger than she actually is,
will probably speak more than
one language, t11 drive an elec-
tric car, be more interested in
geography than gardening and
will be a tutor as well as par-
ent to her children.
YOU'LL LIVE BETTER
WITH. ELECTRIC
NOME HEATING
Electric heat is safe, clean, quiet. You enjoy a
healthier atmosphere in ax electrically heated room,
because electric heat does not deplete the important
oxygen content of the air. Electric heat does not create
draughts, dryness or dust. Individual wall
thermostats may be turned up or down at will. You
control the heating comfort and the heating cost.
But above all, -electric heat is .economical—easily installed.
We completed the electrical installation and installed
. electric heat in the new all -electric home of Mr.
John Muir, Jarvis Street, Seaforth.

owners of Seaforth's first all -electric homes. From the left are PUC Chairman' D. Sills,
Mayor E. Daly, Mrs. L. Axtmann, Mrs. Jack Muir, Mr. Muir and Commissioner R. S. Box.
The P.U.C. presents free a modern efficient water heater • for use in every new all -electric
home.
The economy and convenience which
an all -electric home can provide has
been recognized in the construction
of two new Seaforth homes.
Electric ,heat requires no duct
work or expensive • construction to
provide maximum heating comfort.
Safe, clean, flameless electric heating
provides heat almost instantly and
produces no dust, dirt or fumes.
An all -electric home assures you
of a standard of an unequalled excel-
lence, and enhances and protects your
home investment.

properly -planned, scientifically - de-
signed full housepower. "Full house -
power" means that safe, complete
wiring is installed in your home., It
means that your home Will be com-
pletely equipped with enough cir-
cuits, outlets and switches to handle
future expansion and additional ap-
pliances. You'll live better,electrical-
ly today and in the future if you plan
full housepower wisely now.
And remember, we give FREE an
electric water heater and tank for
installation in , every all - electric
home. Why not take advantage of
all these features now? •
Electric water heating ' saves
money. You can rent a 40 -gallon
tank, including installation, for $1.75
per month. Flat rate energy charges
• are as low as $2.16 for 600 -watt
heater.
A typical electric home heating
installation for a six -room home cyan
cost for .a full heating season as low °
was $130.00.
