The board .proposes to spread its share over two years, he said, spending $3,000 this year and $3,000 from its 1985 budget.. He said . the board feels that having tables and chairs available will increase use of the arena, during summer months.

(Staff Photo) Royal Homes president to visit Japanese industry Hans Kuyvenhoven, president of Royal Homes Limited of Wingham, is leaving soon on a two-week tour of Japan to study the innovative technology being developed by that country's prefabricated housing in- dustry. The trip is organized by •..the Japan Technology ' Transfer Association and includes 17 Americans and one Canadian. It will include an on-site tour of Japan's major prefabricators. Although Royal Homes is among the industry leaders in North America, Japan claims it is eight to 10 years ahead of the world market in production technology and consumer services, Mr. Kuyvenhoven reported, and he is interested in seeing what they are doing. Japan has done extensive research in building materials and bio -tech- nology, which involves the way a home affects people living in it, in terms of layout t and color scheme. "We'll be looking at that too." Among the exciting developments reported in building materials is the development of a clay - organic material called "ceramics" which it is claimed can reduce costs by 75 per cent over conventional construction materials. They also have developed con- struction systems using steel, light -weight concrete and stressed panels, as well as a special resin for ' fire- proofing multiple dwellings. A group of manufacturers from the U. S. had visited Japan earlier and were so impressed they organized this tour, Mr. Kuyvenhoven reported.He doesn't an- ticipate an overnight revolution in the Canadian home-building industry, but hopes to gain some ideas from Japanese technology, Seniors' Day Centre News echniques and materials. "They have some sophisticated equipment." In Canada today only five per cent of new homes are modular or factory -built, he noted, while in the U. S. the figure is between 20 and 24 per cent and in Sweden it is closer to 75 per cent, but he said he sees the day coming when more and more homes will be built. that way here. "That's really the only way to -go. You don't build a car outside." With a work force of 50 in the plant and its installers, sales staff and ad- ministration bringing the total payroll to about 95 persons, Royal Homes has been turning out an average of between 3'.5 and four houses a week this year, Mr. Tow: c The Wingham-Turnberry bicentennial celebrations this summer turned a profit of $8,283.11, Chairman Shirley Walker told town council last week.
