Designed by architect William
Ralston, of Toronto, this frame bun-
galow has a floor area of under
1,00() square feet .but still features
good internal circulation. The arch-
;tect has succeeded in producing an
interesting interior design by group-

living and sleeping areas:
The large bedroom can be built
as two rooms or separated by a fold-
ing divider as planned by the arch-
itect.l The pass-through from the
kitchen to the living-dining room
is a step saver which the housewife
twill appreciate. There is also a con- '
Venient grouping of kitchen, main

port. Beat orientation for the house
would be with the bathroom win-
dow facing north.

No Water On Wood Floors
Clean them thoroughly with
very fine steel wool and turpen-
tine or 'some :similar solvent
especially prepared for the pur-
pose. Then apply two or. three
coats of old fashioned paste
wax. Allow each coat to dry
thoroughly and polish each one;
This will give you a hard wear-
ing and soil resistive finish
which will probably not need
redoing more than once or twice
a year. Old wax should be com-
pletely removed with 'turpen-
tine -and steel wool before a
basic rewaxing is undertaken.
A liquid type of wax is • often
used for in between mainten-
ance. It is easy to apply, and
effectively removes dirt, scuff
marks and grease, leaving a
protective coating. The frequ-
ency .pf application depends of
course upon how much wear
there 'is on the floor.
• Always use thin layers of wax
allowing each to dry thorough-
ly ,before buffing. Thick layers
of wax tend to remain soft and
sticky and so attract dirt.

Excellent kiln dried wood is
widely used in new homes being
built today. However, every top,
quality hardwood sometimes
will shrink slightly, causing a
tiny separation between the
floorboards. Maintenance of an
even- indoor temperature and
humidity during the first year
after the house is built will
minimize this separation how-
ever.

Mrs. Elliott Lapp led in pray-

Just recently I saw in the
daily paper where the govern,
ment grant to race horse breed-
ers was -to be cut off. This rais-
es a couple of questions. Why
did 'the goVernment a.ts'ome time
decide it should subsidize race
horse breeders from public funds
and why does government now
decide it is no longer necess-
ary? I can. only conclude that
for some reason the government
decided that more and better
race horses were needed and on
the other hand the government
now feels that either the sub-
sidy didn't bring about desired
result's or -that there are now
enough first-class race horses
in Ontario. „.
There area great many gov-
ernment subsidies hut I can
only speak of a few. Do you
realize that the government
contributes, from public fund;
the equivalent of six percent of
the teacher's salary towards
the teacher's pension fund?
The object, I suppose, was to
attract more people into the
teaching profession. I wonder
how many teachers enter the
profession because -of the pen-
sion fund? There is- still sup-
posed 'to be a shortage of teach-
ers. If this method is success-
ful in -increasing the number of
teachers, let's double it and get
the number of teachers we need.
Since it hasn't brought the
number up to what we need,
let's drop it and try some other
method to fill the need.
In the last issue of The Rural
Co-operator, the matter of sub-
idies on milk products was
discussed.
I think we must recognize
that no country can be sure of
adequate food supplies- unless it
plans on producing a surplus.
In order to get rid of the
surplus from time to time, the
government has subsidized the.
export of surplus product.
In order to keep the! surplus
of dairy products in line, a sub-
sidy o ffour cents a pound on
cheese was introduced a ;few
years ago' but was- reduced to
three cents last year and just
recently ft two cents on cheese
exported.
e' This action reduced the re-
turns to producers 'sending milk
to cheese -factories accordingly
-Craig took charge of the busi-
ness period and opened it with
a poem. The anintttes were ap-
proved -as read by the secre-
tary, Miss Elma Minch. Mrs.
Norman McDowell, treasurer;
presented the financial state-
ment. The reports of the var-
ious conveners- were received
and it was announced that an-
other bale would be packed next
week.
Mrs. Lewis closed the meet-
ing by pronouncing the bene-
diction. Lunch was served by
the members •of Unit Two.
