Priorities, curtailments and the draft have all â€"combined to limit the producâ€" tionâ€"of furniture till victory. But it looks as though American ingenuity were going to turn these adversities into advantages as far as the design and construction of essential furniture is concerned. For many good and new ideas have been developed by the necâ€" essity of radical shifts of materials and wartime need. Some of the most proâ€" vocative examples of this are to be seen in new line of upholstered furnâ€" iture designed by Norman Bel Geddes and made by a leading manufacturer. Posture Design These new pieces show how chairs and sofas can be "easy," even without springs or down. The secret is a new posture construction that provides supâ€" port where most needed and thus makes it possible to have deep comfort without the familiar "bounce." The idea â€" and the result â€" is so sound that afterâ€" theâ€"war chairs will inevitably embody many of these principles. A folding upholstered chair is imâ€" portant news in this lineâ€"the cushions lift out and the frame folds flat â€" the whole business packing into a small carton or the bottom of a trunk. This same collapsible idea has been developâ€" ed in a love seat also. Besides their practical side, these pieces look very slick and current. Another sensible notion for modern living is the upholstered chair that turns into a chaise longue with aflip of a cushion. The idea here is that the footrest part, when not needed, folds under the base of the chair. Comeâ€"Apart Units New also is a single allâ€"mâ€"one unit that consists of two upholstered chairs with a lamp table between. While a comeâ€"apart group of units is presented in a new version â€" this is the unit sofa made up of three separate chairs. But the two arms of each corner piece are of different heights, so that they can be combined to make a sophisticated looking very low back piece, or a conâ€" ventional height back. There are two different armless center pieces â€" acâ€" cording to which combination you want: the extra back piece makes an extra occasional chair when not in use with the unit. The advantage of this is â€"that you can change your mind about the effect you want from time to time. Another new group of furniture for contemporary use is called multiâ€"use and was developed for warâ€"worker dorâ€" mitories by manufacturers in coâ€"operâ€" ation with the Federal Public Housing Authority. Included are: a card table that extends to comfortable dining size; an occasional chair with foreâ€"shortened arms and raised seat that makes it usable as a dining chair, a desk chair and linens, For the twoâ€"person govyâ€" ernment apartment the total furnishing costs around $120.00. The Age of Wood The war challenge has brought forth or an easy chair; a chest that has both drawer and desk space; a bed with head and footboards designed to fit into either bedroom or living room. For the government dormitory bedroom, the total cost of furnishings is from $63.00 to $87.00, including furniture, bedding THURSDAY i9TH 1943 This is a view of the same chair when folded flat for packing away or meving.

There was a general idea in this part of the country that this new highway would not be too good, but this idea appears to be offset completely by the fact. Of course, some who did not want the Transcontinental Highway to pass through the Hearst area have sugâ€" gested more than once that there was so much muskeg and quicksand on the northern route that it would be imposâ€" sible to build a satisfactory highway. The advocates of the route by way of Sault Ste. Marie and the rocky road along Lake Superior were quite positive that what is here termed the northern route was not practical. According to all acounts at present, however, these prognosticators have been shown to be false prophets so far as the quality of the road from Hearst to Geraldton is concerned. One local man who reâ€" cently drove from Hearst to Geraldton riding nad Deen empiloyed at the Matachewan Consolidated Mine as an operator in the mill and had been at the Ventures property for about seven or eight years, Mr. Parsons said. Mrs. McLeod is on the staff at the T. Eaton Co. branch office at Cobalt, where she has been living since her husband went overseas." "News that another young man from the Matachewan district had lost his life while serving overseas with the Canadian forces was received by The Speaker. . . .This was Private Bruno Fortier, brother of Mrs. E.

In more recent years, though confined to her home, she was an untiring worker for the Red until another stroke forced her to go to hospital early this year. To this helpful woman pioneer (one of very many here who receive few plaudits from the busy crowd who profit form the efforts and the sacrifice o« the generous ones) there should due tribâ€" ute be given for their unselfish work. Funeral service for the late Mrs. Thorning was held on Thursday last On Tuesday of this week Mr. and Mrs. M. Piche, of Haileybury, observed the fiftieth anniversary of their wedâ€" ding. The celebration took the form of a family reâ€"union, the plan being to have all the members of the family and a few very close friends present for the occasion. In referring to the wedding anniversâ€" ary, The Haileyburian last week said :â€" "It was on August 1l"7th, 1893, that Mr. and Mrs. Piche, both natives of Ottawa, were married in that city by Rev. Mr. Whalen. It was a quiet wedâ€" ding, they told the reporter, with no one outside their immediate relatives preâ€" sent, and they continued to live in Ottawa until 1900. In that year Mr. Piche went to Cache Bay in the lumber trade and was joined there by his wife. It was in 1906 that he came to Haileyâ€" bury to take charge of construction on the mill erected on the lake shore by the Foster interests and the following year Mrs. Piche came to town to a new home not quite completed on the site where they are living today.
