The
fte pand District �lct Ho e
Builders
Association has com-
pleted the MARK X Experiment,
dl Steel House. The hause,is con
structe im'a lot provided by .the
Ontario Housing Corporation in
the City of Guelph.. It features a

ment, steel footings,: std floor
decking and steel . wall. studs.
Concrete,' ` the traditional; ,ma -
Writ' used in home construction
has not been. used in 'the major
foundation` areas. of ,this ,wexperi-
Mental home.
R. ` P. Hall, president of ".the"
Guelph and District Home Build-
ers. said the Guelph:Mark :X'pro-
7eet "was undertaken to build an
experimental house using new
materials,rnot all of which are
being used in residential con-
struction today." : He said, "by
•field testing some of these innov-
ative materials, it is hoped that
builders would soon be in a posi-
tion to construct a better quality
home at a reduced cost," J

Buulilers Assoociati0n is:a mem
group of the Housing and Urban
Development Association of Can-
ada. As a member of HUDAC, the
Guelph builders have been part of
a long term experimental .project
designed to find new methods of
house construction.
Mark X, the tenth in a series of
experimental homes constructed
across Canada by HUDAC, .fea-
tures many innovations in home
construction. Steel. footings, set
directly on a gravel base elimin-
ated the use of poured concrete.
Pre -painted, 16" steel panels
were set into the channel steel
footings and bolted together.
A four mal crew erected the
entire steel foundation in a: malt -
ter of several hours. The same
day, interlocking steel deck
panels were put into place . ani
the sub flooring installed. •
An adhesive compound was ap-
plied to the raised ribs of the 'Steel
decking with a standard caulking
gun. The plywood sub floor was
placed on top and fastened with
self drilling screws. In one day,
the walls were ready to be raised.
A great deal has been ac-
complished as a result of this
type of experiment. Changes in
residential building standards
and regulations may be effected.
New materials are being tested
and observed so that home
owners across Canada may bene-
fit by the results.
The upper walls of the MARK X
consists of factory pre -fabricated
steel framedpanels, These large
panels were steel thermal- studs
sheathed with plywood and >.set ,,
into placeas a unit, Conventional.
wood treses were used for the
roof structure.
As this house is an expert -
mental testing ground, the :On-
tario Ministry°of the Environent
hat taken a special interest. Per,
mission was given to use. CPVC '.

venting system for the plUnthing,
has been • utalled. This too, Will
be studied for future application.
The "Research House Com-
mittee", headed by William
Robertson, incorporated new
ideas in the electrical` wiring in
the MARK X. The committee
worked very closely with Ontario
Hydro's Electrical Research •
-
partment. The electrical system
consisted of running wiring
through a 1" x 4" chaseway lo-
eatedbehindthe baseboard in the
exterior walls, The, entire steel
foundation is considered a,
-grounded structure. Although
this system is not approved for
general., construction, Ontario

With Adrian.Vos' •
This planned nuclear generat-
ing station south of Goderich
bothers me. It will sit right at the
edge of some. of the finest agri-
cultural -land in all of Canada.
When we see what is happening
around the Douglas Point station,
we know ,pretty well what will
happen in Huron County. Schools
for the children of the builders
have to be erected, to become
useless right -after the plant is •
built. The same with housing and
the necessary streets sewage
and water *facilities. •Sure; Hydro
will contribute to some of the cost
of this, but a good deal,will still
have to cone out of out taxes.
Transmission lineswill take
more • of this fine farmland, for
there's no other. land " to go
through. And the accompanying
wrangles over compensation,
with Hydro - people playing
neighbor against neighbor, caus-
ing disruption in our social life
that. can't be measured, is
another factor that •will be
shrugged off by those who have
only learned to think in terms of
money.
Who will come to harvest our
crops when workers at the Hydro
plant are paid Toronto wages?

the plant will ` leave their farms
for secure wages there and. area •
farmers won't be able to lease
land from them because they
can't afford to pay the wages.
There must be a place to put
fined.., thing where it will cause
less disruption. Why not put .it hi
Sarnia? Their mayor is always
.kering for more and the lines
can be led along his new 4 -lane
highway or maybe even under-
ground through the oil pipeline he
so desperately wants. The oil
cd be a cooling agent. Or in
nerthern parts of the province
where it can be built on the rocks.
It costs more in initial outlay, but
who can say what the ultimate
cost will be in higher food prices
for everyone?
There will , most likely be
hearings and when they are all
over, the minister will say that it
was good that everyone had their
say-, but it was already decided
five years agothat the plant will
be where it is going.
In the last three years an area
as large as Huron County was
buried under concrete and now
they are• starting on Huron ,
County itself. If I'm well
informed, Huron was designated
as farming country. Politicians
seem to think this to mean they
have a free hand with the land.

But, the• thing that • really
hurts is you keep. it all inside.
Your closely spaced letters
leave no room for release.
Your ' small writing keeps
your mind on each pain and
strain, while thelarge y loop
keeps imagining all kinds of
things.
Then, with the pressure of
your writing, you "are so: tense'
that sometimes youk, feel like
you're going to burst: It's.
that you feel like you've got to''
escape (yourself). -
Being sick has :a way of

So, if your doctor permits,
keep as busy as possible. How

notes; to young teenagers who,
like you, are confined to a hos-
pital or their homes for a peri-
od of time? Before . long,
they'd be Writing to. you.
Then, by all Means, try to

upon which you can lean as

strength. No wall is too high,

'them from helping back to
