Called "Traffic Rating", it tells you before you buy just how a carpet will perform. Based on tests or wear life (how long will it last); appearance retention (will it crush--how will it look after a period of time-- how will it clean); "Traf- fic Rating" classifies all Barrymore carpets ac- cording to light, medium or heavy traffic use. No need to worry about confusing fibre claims .. . about differences in the performance qualities of twist, loop and cut-p i 1 e carpet s. Just check the traffic rating. With "Traffic Rating" as • your guide, you can select style and colour with great- er freedom and not have to worry about how the carpet will wear and keep its looks, CONFUSED ABOUT CARPET FIBRES, QUALITIES, PRICES?

(Canadian Carpet Institute) You can't buy a carpet or rug the same way you would buy a loaf of bread, it's One, And for that matter who would want to? In making a major in- vestment for the borne, as in going on a trip, planning can be half the fun — and especially re, warding if the final choice is just right. However, no one wants to spend more time and effort than necessary in planning these in- vestments. Carpet shopping, for example, can be made easier if you sort out the decisions you must make and put.them in their right order. The "one-step-at- a-time" system can save cost- ly mistakes— and time too. 1!!!1.APIV!! ... !!PM 0)!WMPPM!! .. . !!!!!PWAIWW111,MWOIWPIOMMIMOW!!!!!!IMIn Woe .Saturaey after an enjoy' able bus trip to the Prairie.

Carpet Talk There are numerous versions of carpets with "formal" tex- tures, equally as many whicb have an informal appearance in the textured surface. Whether you choose soft cut pile, tight loops, combined Cut-arid-41 0 pile, dense twists or patterned textures, it's largely a matter of which you prefer. Carpets and rugs with definite patterns —florals, for exam- ple, or Oriental patterns may not be quite as versatile as solid colors or color blends, but they by no means limit a decorating scheme, In fact, you can use a pat- terned carpet as a starting point for decorating an entire room. Any one of the colors can be emphasized in other furnish- ings, with its companion colors used in accent furnishings and accessories. By Actually, there are just two kinds of decisions you will make about any carpet or rug you choose for your home. The first concerns appearance, and the second concerns value. Bob Harvey Once you have chosen the ap- peara.nce you want in a carpet or rug, it's time to make the second decision to determine value and price.

EXCLUSIVE "TRAFFIC RATING" BY BARRYMORE CARPETS How can you be sure that the carpet or rug is really a "good buy"? Chiefly by determining whether it will be suitable for the amount of use it will get. If you are choosing carpets for light traffic areas, or for short-term use, you can safely pick a budget grade. If you are planning to stay in your present home and want a carpet that will stand up to constant heavy use, a better quality is in order. Fair, won a first on her apple pie and a second on her fruit, pickles and cup cakes. Mrs. Ed. Meyer of Hamilton has returned home after spend- ing a week with Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Hodgson. While here she and Mrs. Hodgson visited the latter's sister Mrs. Lela Bea- dle of Stratford. Saturday evening the Lucan Fire Dep't. was called to the farm of George McBride on Concession 2 Biddulph, about six miles north of Lucan, when a shed, between the house and where the barn, which was burn- ed by lightning, formerly stood, mysteriously took fire. Before the fire engine arrived a num- ber of neighbors, by using the water from a nearby trough, had the fire under control. Fire chief Alex Young estimated that probably $100 would cover the damage.

The carpet label tells you at a glance the use for which the carpet is best suited . . . light, medium or heavy traffic. This exclusive, reliable rating system lets you know be- fore you buy — just how a carpet will perform. Using "Traf- fic Rating" as your guide to establish the traffic condition in your home, you can then select style and colour with more freedom. "Traffic Rating" saves you money, too. For example, in areas where wear is not a primary factor —bedrooms, guest rooms etc., a modestly priced light traffic carpet is recommended. Or, if you're a business couple and out all day, the same carpet will do nicely for your whole apart- ment. But, if you're carpeting halls where there's lots of traffic . . or living rooms used regularly by a number of people • . . then you'll need a heavy traffic carpet priced from $12.95 a square yard up. With Barrymore's exclusive "Traffic Rating", you buy just what you need in carpets. Makes sense, doesn't it? And all you have to do is look at the "Traffic Rated" label. To match a new emphasis on elegance in home furnishings, there are carpets with rich colorings and subtle texture patterns such as cut-and- looped sculpture. Top grades in high-traffic areas, medium grades in nor- mal traffic areas, lesser grades for limited use — these are the keys to choosing suitable car- pets and rugs. RELY ON BRANDS PICK COLOR FIRST It's wise to decide on appear- ance first, since a carpet or rug is basic to any decorating sch- eme — and regardless of value, you won't be happy with your choice if you don't really like its appearance in the first place. The first step, therefore, is to decide on color. You may want a carpet or rug that will provide a starting point for an entire decorating scheme, or you may be choosing one to fit in with existing furnishings. In either case, pick the "color family" you really like best — then look for variations withinthat range. At this point, you will also be making a decision on the practi- cal aspects of a carpet or rug for the situation in your home. It's logical that very light or very dark colors will show soil more readily than medium tones, color combinations or pattern. This doesn't mean that you have to rule out your favorite color, however. Within every color family — the green, blues, golds, reds, grays, beiges or browns — there are many va- riations. You can pick aversion that's practical and pretty at the same time. The single best key to quality is to consider the density of the carpet or rug you are consider- ing. Density simply means that closeness and thickness of the surface pile and the quality of construction. VISIT NONAGENARIANS Misses May and Eva Carter of Toronto, (formerly of Main St. Lucan) visited two nona- genarians recently. Mrs. Ar- chie Tom (the former Alice Stanley), now of Toronto en- tertained them while her mother Mrs. B. Stanley, who has been a patient at Preston Springs for years, was visiting her. Another day Miss Kathleen Bawden took them out to visit Miss Ida Porte, whose father, brother, and herself had charge of the Luc an post office for many years. Although Mrs. Stanley and Miss Porte have passed their four score and ten years, they are both enjoying good health and still intensely in- terested in all the latest news of their old home town of Lu- can. Rely, too, on well-known brand names, since the carpet manufacturer's reputation is the "hidden value" in carpets and rugs of good construction. Reliable manufacturers know that the best fibre in the world can't guarantee quality in a carpet that is badly made! When comparing carpets made of the same fibre remem- ber the rule on quality: "The deeper, the denser, the better." Wins $1000 scholarship Robin Dale Daynard, Staffa, son of Rev. A. H.

Come In Today and Talk Over Your Carpet Problem Sandy Elliot Though you will be shopping with some idea of a price cate- gory, the final decision on what you should payfor carpet should be based on selection of a style and quality suited to your own needs. Often, the carpet you think you can't afford will bethe most economical in the long run! And once you have found the carpet or rug that meets your own requirements, you and your family will agree that the plan- ning was well worthwhile — and enjoyable, too. EXETER 444 MAIN ST. Fibre content is a part of evaluating quality, although it doesn't tell the whole story. Of the types of fibre used for carpet production today, wool, nylons and acrylics have all been used to produce carpets in the medi- um and upper ranges. Cotton and viscose are generally used in carpets and rugs intended for lighter use. If you like blue, for example, and are choosing a carpet for a heavy-traffic area, you can find a tweedy mixture of blue tones which may be more practical underfoot than a solid pale blue carpet. CHOOSE TEXTURE Practicality and per sonal preference are also compatible when it comes to choosing tex- ture — the second step in find- ing a carpet or rug with the appearance you like best. ..... 111111111111111 lllll 11111111111111111 llllllllll 11111 lllllllll II lllllllllllllllllllllllll 11111 lllllllllll 111111 VIII 11111111111 ACRILAN HARDTWIST BROADLOOM woven by Harding has the same luxurious look and feel as traditional hard- twist broadloom, but the resemblance ends there.
