LONG A LANDMARK at the junction of the Mill Road and No. 4 Highway, at Brucefiel•
d, the
large frame building shown here is to be removed. The Department of Highways purchased
the site some time ago with the intention of removing the building and thus provide a more
extended view of approaching traffic at the, busy intersection -scene of several serious acci-
dents in recent years. Through the years the building has housed a series of storekeepers, the
last being Mrs. A. Paterson, who moved some months ago to a new location in the IOOF build-
ing. The upper floors of the building contained several small apartments, which have now been
• vacated. (Expositor photo by Phillips).
Now Is the Time to Plan
• For Outdoor Decorations
a
a
The snow has come, the shops
are ablaze with light, there's
that certain feeling in the air -
Christmas! - And it's time to
think about decorating your
hone, inside and out, to express
the festive season in your own
particular way. Creating a color-
ful scene in Christmas lights is
not only easy, it is plenty of fun,
too, because you can be as
creative as your tea. t desires,
and your pocketbook lets you.
Using strings of the new Chnist-
masr lights, with flood and spot
lights, your home, fawn and
shrubbery can take on the air
of fairyland, lending a spirit of
good cheer to the entire neigh-
bourhood.
There are several rules that
make it easy: first, decide what
general "theme" to use. If you
want to appeal to children, then
your whole outdoor decorative
project should be planned ac-
cordly. Or if you prefer to dra-
matize the religious aspeot of
Christmas, many beautiful and
moving scenes can be created.
But whatever you do, stay with
one theme only. It is a mistake
to mix them up as it only serves
to confuse passersby. Secondly,
make a detailed plan of what
you would like to do before you
start, including colors of •lights
to be used, and where they will
be placed. This should be done
carefully so as to .make it gay,
but not gaudy. The secret is to
choose your colors wisely, and
with some regard for the colors
• of the walls, trim and roof of
your house.
Start by looking at your home
as passersby might see it. Con-
sider the size of your home, its
lot, the roof, chimney, shrub-
bery, and architectural details,
%especially around the doorway
• and front porch. Then. decide
which color lights would look
best in the arrangement you
prefer on your home, When you
visit your store for Christmas
lights, be sure to select the best
colors for outdoor decorating.
This year, for the first time,
4 YOU can purchase an outdoor
string and socket set packaged
separately, and then select the
lights in the color of your choice
to fit the sockets.
Decorate your front door with
a quantity of evergreen boughs
tacked to the door frame, en-
twined with strings of colored
lights. Lights may be strung
about the pillars of the porch or
tacked directly to the frame of
the doorway, using either a var-
iety of colors or one color only.
To finally set off the doorway,
which is the focal point of Christ-
" mas hospitality, train a colored
spotlight on it, (This is also ef-
fective for the man of the house
coming home after the office
party, or some such pleasantry.)
One of the simplest ways to
decorate your home, if you have
picture windows, is from the in-
• side. Strings of lights of the out-
door type can be used to outline
the window. Then place your
tree near the window where out-
siders can catch a glimpse of it
too. One of the simplest and
most inexpensive window dec-
• crations is a candle and a bulb
within a wreath, a single electric
candle on the windowsills, or a
candelabra of several graduat-
ed candles. Tali flowing candle's
can be made of stovepipe, mail-
ing tubes, or cut out of plywood,
and painted appropriately.
• These can be placed at each side
of the front door to welcome
guests with a hospitality shpww
It is important to dra•martize
the theme you have chosen, T
focal point usually needs strong
illumination and can be empha-
sized by contrasting colors of
• lights, style or size is relation
to the other elements. It is im-
portant that the focal point im-
mediately attract attention raid
• that all other parts of the dis-
play be subordinated to it. This
can be done by making sure that
it is brightly illuminated, while
• the remainder is subdued.
Don't foa`get to uric flooz11a ipS
to give the : td touch to your
•
home decoratng outdoors. This
helps to tie the whole project to-
gether by supplying a diffused
light over the entire area. How-
ever, unity can also be obtained
by stringing lamps into lines or
paths of light which help to tie
segments together. Try also to
eliminateglare, sharp unwanted
contrasts, and hazardous shad-
ows.
Remember, it is what you do
with what you have, not how
much material you have, that
will spell the difference between
an attractive, pleasing display
and a rather gaudy show, It is
a wonderful chance to try your
artistry, originality, ingenuity,
and cerative ability.
A few safety rules: Be sure
all cords, plugs, sockets and all
bulbs used outdoors are weather
proof and manufactured for out-
door use. Keep all electrical
connections off the ground, and,
for greater safety, weatherproof
all outside connections• with el-
ectrical tape. Be sure the power
is off when stringing the wire
around the house, and do not
have the bulbs in sockets.
It is not necessary to nail wire
to the eaves of the house. Try a
stapling machine, making sure
that the staples go around the
wire and not through it, The
job is done much faster this way
and the wire is much more eas-
ily removed removed. Look for
Christmas light string and sock-
et sets with the sockets made
entirely of plastic, complete
with a plastic clip for easier
placing on trees. These •are new
this year, and safer too.
With only a few safety pre-
cautions, you can have a won-
derful time decorating your home
for the coming Christmas sea-
son, transforming it into a
Christmas card scene which will
delight your friends and neigh-
bors.
URGE CARE IN REPLACING FUSES
AS DECORATIONS INCREASE LOADS
Since the majority of circuits
are of number 14 wire, the use
of larger than 15 ampere fuses
is a definite hazard, warns H.
E. Wright, Farm Safety Special-
ist, Ontario Department of Ag-
riculture.
When a fuse blows, don't re-
place it with a larger one, he
cautions. Instead, decrease the
load on that particular circuit
and have your electrician install
another circuit. If a circuit is
overloaded and a large -size fuse
is used, the heat generated in
the wire may be sufficient to
char the insulation and start a
fire. Here are seme precautions
to follow:
• Don't replace fuses while
standing on a wet floor unless
you first pull the switch.
• Don't handle appliances or
cords while in contact with wa-
ter.
• Don't attempt to make
electrical repairs yourself.
The use of electricity on
farms has increased tremen-
dously during the past few
years. Many wiring installa-
tions which were adequate
when installed are now over-
loaded. He suggests employing
an electrician familiar with
your farm wiring to check your
installation. Just as your ma-
chinery is checked over and re-
paired when necessary, so your
wiring system should be check-
ed by an electrician every three
-to five years.
Electricity is perfectly safe
if your wiring is properly main-
tained, states the safety spe-
cialist. Fire and shock hazards
occur only because of careless-
ness, lack of maintenance, or
lack of knowledge.
