The arch- ;tect has succeeded in producing an interesting interior design by group- 'lag the bathroom, washroom, stor- age closets and hall to separate the 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 And secondary -entrances and car- 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. Every- rew years, 'hardwood floors which -are badly-scratch- ed or stained May be restored to brand new beauty by -sand- ing and refinishing. More 'and more Canadians de- cide every year to buy homes of their own. This trend stems from people wanting somewhere 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.

LICW At Auburn Form Three Discussion Groups AUBURN — The UCW of Knox United Church met in the Sunday School room of the church with Unit Two in charge., The call to worship was read by Miss Elm:a Match. Mrs. Elliott Lapp led in pray- er. The offering was received by Mrs. John Sprung and Mrs. William Straughan, and dedi- cated with prayer by Mrs. Ro- bert Arthur. Three 'discussion groups were formed with the leaders being Mrs. John Hildebrand, Mrs. Norman .Wightman and. Mrs. Robert Arthur. After the groups finished, Mrs. Charles Lewis commented on the find- ings. Mrs. Robert Arthur thanked all who had 'assisted her with the meeting and called on Mrs. Arthur Grange, the convener of ChriStian Citizenship and Social Outreach., She spoke on the topic, "Who Is My Neigh- bour?"

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. 0 BIGGEST 7N WORLD NIAGARA FALLS — T h e greatest concentration of hydro- electric power in the world, is located at Niagara Fall's. The Canadian and United States power plants have a combined installed capacity of more than 4,000,000 (million) kilowatts. This 'is enough electricity to keep 40 million 100-watt light bulbs burning around the clock When the plants are produding at full capaPAY.

A coating of asphalt or other material impervious to water is applied directly to, the wrapping or by 20 cents per hundred of milk, There apparently is a market for much. larger exports :of Cheese which could take care of the export of surplus dairy pro- duct. It would seem reasonable 'that the government should subsidize 'the product :that would coot the least. However, in order to export Milk powder and stilt retain H. reasonable price for milk to- the producer, a subsidy of 78.7 cents per cwt., a compared to 18.1 cents per c*t. for cheese milk, is being continued.

A vapour barrier will be of, fective only if it has no leaks, It is a good idea to cover the joints between insulating baits or fibreboard insulating panels with a strip of vapour barrier Paper or foil.' Another good idea, is to cover 'the entire wall with an additional Vapoor bar, rier, The second vapour barrier should, be stapled on immediate- ly before applying the lath and plaster or other wall finish. This added protectioe is found in much -of present day con- struction. Ceilings 'insulated with loose mineral wool only -should nor, mally be covered with some form of roll vapour barrier. In applying -this type of barrier— whether it be foil, polYethelene film or coated paper—the edges of the various rows should over- lap to provide a tight joint. Certain types of wall paints, such as rubber base paints which are impervious to water vapour, also act as -a vapour barrier. It is not deeirable however, to- rely on them as the sole form of vapour barrier.

Lower the moulding to the rough sub-floor "finished flOor" at -an angle, through the crack :between the • baseboard and the finished floor. This should prevent the base mould- ing from separating either from the floor or from the baseboard. Naile should be _set well into the wood so that the heads, may be concealed smoothly with putty or filler.. If door mould- ings separate at the mitre joints, these cracks also may be filled.

The fin- ish plays -an important part in protecting all woodwork. If the doors stick 'from swel- ling; fold sandpaper around a wood block and sand the edge where it binds. Then paint over the sanded area. Check top andebottom edges of doors to see if they have been repainted after fitting. If not it is a good idea to do- so; to pro- tect the wood from moisture. This is especially important in the case of outside doors. If the door continues 'to bind ex- cessively, it may be necessary to plane it slightly but this should -be done promptly for a door can 'be ruined by continu- ally 'forcing it into an opening it doesn't -fit. In 'the case of a door sticking slightly, a coat of paste wax, soap or parafin to the sticking surface, often alleir- iates the trouble.
