REROS ON ACTIVITIES i report was as follows: tober 25, 1951, at the re- of the Board of Directors. of Ajax and Pickering Township We Als Hospital, a meeting was | held in the Pickering Town Hall for the purpose of forming a Wom- an's Auxiliary to the hospital. At this meeting a nucleus of an execu- tive only was elected which includ- ed a president, secretary-treasur- er and six vice-presidents. Later the executive was increased to in- clude a secretary and a treasurer. "Regular general meetings fol- jowed on the second Monday of each month through the year with the exception of July and August -- 'these months being exempt from meetings at the wish of the mem- bers. During the year membership increased from 20 at the first meet- ing' to the present he members. '""The first task which the Aux- iliary set for themselves was pro- vision of the linen The J for the hospital This announcement immediately brought forth offers of assistance from many organizations including the Girl Guides, the Kinettes and the Rotary Anns all of whom gave a great deal of valuable help. The balance of the sewing was done by individual members of the Aux- MONEY-RAISING EFFORTS * "The decision on the part of the members to provide linen brought up the necessity of raising funds ry and the first proj- and sale of home the Legion Hall, mber 8, which prov- prio success.

Mrs. Robert Ruddy, Mrs. Roger Conant and Mrs. Kenneth Clarke attended as delegates from the Auxiliary and Mrs. Geo. Lawrence as a member of the Registrations Committee. HELP APPRECIATED '"The spontaneous help of many organizations to raise funds for the Auxiliary has been very much ap- preciated. Of these it is felt spe- cial mention should be made of the card party held by the staff of the Ajax South Junior School under the supervision of Mr. J. Wilson. This party provided the first funds for the Auxiliary and gave great encouragement to the Ontario Growing By 15,000 a Month TORONTO (CP) - Ontario's riches and greatness will amount to nothing without the moral and spiritual fibre of the people, Pre- Hier Leslie Frost said Tuesday Speaking at the opening of the Toronto East Community YMCA, Mr. Prost said the pioviioe's popu- lation is growing at the rate of 15,000 persons a month. Since he became provincial treasurer more than nine years ago, Ontario's bud- get had increased from $75,000,000 to $300,000,000. wo with all this growth there is nothing as important as the things that deal with the character and spiritual background eof our people," he said.

Hutchinson conducted prove ed to be one of the shortest elec- tions on record. The work of the nominating committee proved so successful that all officers were returned to office wip one excep- tion, Miss W. Wood of Dunbarton who was unable to continue. Mrs. Westney again occupied |; chair for the January meeting, and during a short devotional per- iod, prayed for guidance, clear vision and understanding for all in their future undertakings. A vote of thanks was extended to all officers for their work dur- ing the past year and to the nom- inating committee convened by Mrs. J. Smith, also to Mrs. Hut- Shinson for conducting 'the elec- on Plans for a membership drive were discussed, and a committee comprised of the vice presidents was formed, to cover the various districts. At the close of the meet- ing, a Penny Auction took place New Experimental Type -- Inter-Com (Canada), Lid AX build an experimental house in Ajax it was learned today by a Daily Times-Gazette staff re- porter in an interview with J. Kirk Canadian director of the English Hm which has expanded to Can- ada. This new type of house is not to be confused with the common con- ception of a prefabricated dwelling. "The word the Inter-Com Compan likes to use is "pre-formed," said Mr. Kirk. In developing the plans, due consideration is given to clim- ate, local conditions, and those types of homes which are meeting public favour and consequently plans have been prepared with all, these things m mm nd there 's Tellivey little difference in size or Degen The hig difference lies the method of erection. The pre- ne home can be erected by the average man with a little construc- tion experience and able to follow out the directions, with the aid of a helper. The house which will be erected in Ajax within the next week dr so will be built by a local contractor, it will be a one and a half storey type, patterned after those erected by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. The sections come packaged and the heaviest weigh no more than 250 pounds. The problem of hand- |cold air.' For walls one inch {Home To Be Built Here ling is minimized as compared with other types of prefabricated homes. A full basement is provided which houses the heating unit. A general description shows that the superstructure consists of a series of building blocks, 4 feet by 1 foot, 8 inches surface area and approxi- mately triangular in plan. These are built to form a double wall, interlocking at each course with each course laid om bitrminised felt, giving a 7%-inch wall thick- ness the whole tied with tie rods running at window level and door head level. The first floor and part of the roof is carried on two longitudinal steel trusses, spanning from gable wall to gable wall, The ends of the trusses are carried on spreader trusses to the corner posts. Glass wool is used on all exteripr surfaces, or surfaces exposed to is in- cluc~4 'n the exierna! blocks ad one inch in the internal blocks giv.ng two inches 'n al. Tn ths roofs and ceilings ' two inchés of glass wool are included in the pan- els and follows the line of the ceil- ing up the dwarf walls, along the sloping area and across the attic ceiling. Glass wool is also included around the windows, doors and corner posts. The external surface is wooden siding consisting of lapped siding aaah nab socal On bituniinised bara boara sueain- ing. Joints are locked by a double spline. Internally the exterior walls are covered on the site by a vapor barrier, and the whole interior wall is covered by a gypsum board. The whole superstructure is er- ected in accordance with instruc- tion given in the parts lists and erection drawings. SERVICES All plumbing, sanitary fittings, heating unit and electrical installa- tion are supplied by the builder in accordance with Canadian prac- tice and building codes. Mr. Kirk said further that his company is considering the feasibil- ity of using Canadian lumber if an economic plan can be worked out. He also said that his company believes that the preformed home can be built at-a considerable sav- ing. The Inter-Com Company had built hundreds of homes in England and had also built schools, using the same methods as described with considerable success. Kirk also stressed the point" that Canadian materials would be used to a large extent roofing. shingles 'being an instance. and of course plumbing and heating. The com- pany was not adhering to a hard and fast type of home only. Every effort would be made to produce a structure that would earn public favour. The experiment here = will be watched with great interest. Brazil was discovered in 1500 by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral.
