Sounds almost too good to be true. But it is true in homes equipped with automatic gas househeating anits. Icy winds and winter storms will not interrupt gas service. For gas is piped underground direct to the burner in -the home. And such an arrange- ment eliminates fuel bins, tanks, ash cans and -- furnace tending. Gas is constantly available. Set the thermostat for comfor- tably regulated temperaturées-in the house. Gas does the rest -- for the entire heating season. Ordering and waiting for fuel to be delivered becomes a thing of the past, With the current trend to- ward light colored carpeting, a clean fuel is essential. Gas comes into the home ready to burn and leaves no direct soot, or film on rugs, drapes and curtains... This means less sweeping and general house- keeping for the Bomemater Central heating by walls, grills flush with the floor and regular radiators or convec- tors. These systems employ warm air, hot water or steam as determined by individual pre- ference and ease of installation. Units are also available that humidify as well as heat the air in the winter and that pro- vide cool air conditioning in the summer-months. Noisless gas heating units are available in a variety of colors that blend harmoniously with game or utility rogm de- cor. Exceptionally compact this year, they allow for a good deal of welcome extra space in the home. Basic considerations to insure | °° satisfactory gas heating instal- lation as reported by the Can- adian Gas Association: 1, Select substantial equip- ment, laboratory tested. 2. Size it accurately to insure adequate heat for the coldest days prevalent in the area. 3. Provide for proper heat dis- tribution, adequate combustion, air and venting. 4, Make sure the furnace or sible through liao oath ating f in the floor, panel heating in the boiler is properly insulated to prevent wasteful heat leakage.

To escape expulsion some set- tlens built homes in out-of-the- way places along the island's 6,000 miles of coastline. A century and a half later many of their descendants are finally leaving -- voluntarily. The Newfoundland govern- ment's policy of centralizing | population has in the last six) years resulted in abandonment) of 98 communities whose 1,345 families have shifted to larger) centres. Under the Evacuated Com-| munities Act each family re- ceives $600 from the govern- ment to help pay the cost of moving. However, every family in a community must agree to move before the government will approve assistance. The aim is to bring residents of isolated settlements to larger centres where they can be more easily supplied with roads, elec- tricity, medical facilities, ed- ucation and employment oppor- tunities, GO BACK TO FISH K. M. Harnum of the wel- fare department, which admin- \isters the act, says people who |have -moved may go back in |summer to fish or for vacations Centralizing of Population |munities are on islands which but are not allowed to return 98 Centres: permanently unless they refund the money. The $600 frequently does not cover. a family's entire moving expenses, he says but the money is intended only as "as- sistance." Latest census figures show 316,531 of Newfoundland's 457,- 853 live in centres of less than 5,000 population, In remote vil- lages, mainly on the southwest and northeast coasts, popula- tions of under 100 are common, People were moving to larger centres on their own long be- fore government assistance be- came available, Mr. Harnum | Says. Many of the abandoned com- during half the year are cut off from the mainland by sto and ice. There is no electricity, hospitals or doctors. Often there are no teachers available for the one and two-room schools. Only way for seriously ill per- sons to reach medical aid is by aircraft. SOME STAY Other villages in isolated parts of the mainland were in almost as bad a position. It was not practical to extend electri- city or roads to hamlets of a dozen or so families. Similar conditions still exist in many other coastal commun- ities. Not everybody wants to move. j By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Once upon a time in American pres- idential election campaigns the candidate's wife sat beside him, ac hundreds of floral bou- quets from small girls and smiled and smiled and smiled, Today, she may be out mak- ing her own speech Never before have the wives) of the four principal travelled more politically or in- \dependently, sometimes with their children. | Their activity outstrips any- thing that the late Bleanor |Roosevelt ever did in cam- paigns, although she accom- panied him Whether this new trend marks any real break-through for women in politics remains) |to be seen.

The term, used to illustrate), the degree of American influ- ence in the backward Andean republic of 4,000,000, contains more than a little substance. Politically, such influence is resented by many educated Bo- livians; economically, however, it is welcomed. Since 1952, Jor pen States has poured into Bolivia more than $300,000,000 worth of highest per capita assistance given any country in Latin America, Without it, little of the social and economic progress slowly lowly standard of living would have been possible. Bolivia is still a harsh, almost medieval land locked in Andean poverty. Eighty-five per cent of its population are Indian or mixed blood, two - thirds of whom speak 'only Indian langu- ages. Pye country's illiteracy rate of nearly 70 per cent is the highest in South America while per capita income is $100 a year. PEASANTS GOT LAND In 1052, at a cost of 3,000 lives, the first social revolution in South America toppled the country's tin - mining aristoc- racy. The old order, 'under which three per cent of the population owned 90 per cent of the land, had kept the Indians in a state virtual serfdom for 400 years. Under the new order, the Na- tional Revolutionary Movement 1 lig wee of President Victor az Estenssoro broke up lange estates and redistributed land to some 2,500,000 peasants. The government also nation- alized the three giant tin-mining companies, Patino, Ara- mayo and Hochschild, which continue to provide Bolivia with the bulk of its foreign exchange. Only three years ago, Bolivia was mired in deeper debt and economic stagnation than any nation in South America, Boliv- saps were seething with discon- intry was drift- ing Gegurealy t toward political chaos. Today, foreign exchange .re- serves have climbed to more than $15,000,000 from nearly zero and a start has been made on meeting old debts. | FASTEST GROWTH Bolivia's 6.5 - per - cent eco- nomic growth rate last year ag the highest in Latin Amer- ca.

Today, however, a new, cordial approach to pri- vate enterprise is evident. U.S. BACKS PAZ There is no dowbt that the United States is solidly behind But, in addition to strengthening the republic's economy, U.S. money inadver- tently goes toward paying for the political police system and supporting th. president's party --as patty dues of five per cent are automatically subtracted from the salaries' of public em- ployees The official American diplo- matic line is that the aid has no political strings; that it is simply being poured into Bo- for the people. In the last three years, the United States has given Bolivia $145,000,000 worth of develop- ment loans, at the same time sharply reducing grants used only for budgetary support. Recently, an industrial devel- |opment bank opened here to make loans to private: firms. Existing private enterprises are expanding and a top textile firm has announced big build- ing plans. Gulf Oil Company has struck | oil in 50 wells in four fields) and is seeking government per- missign to build a 400 - mile pipeline so that it can export from a Pacific port. FOUND GOLD A survey carried out under a U.S. aid contract has shown evidence of between one and thrée billion dollars' worth of gold deposits in northern Bo- livia. Under a vast resettlement program, more than 150,000 peasants have been moved off the cold, barren -12,000 - foot Andes plateau to more fertile farm areas in the eastern low- lands Helped along by U.S, farm loans, farm extension services and rural improvements, agri- culture is booming. Today, Bolivia is self - suffi- cient in both sugar and rice, two foods which three years ago had to be imported at high cost. Aided by American techni- clans, the country is developing its Hama wool industry. | Another agricultural project has resulted in the first banana sales to Argentins. ev t of a tr rta- tion network to open new areas in the east to colonization is under way and asphalt paving of the 135-mile La Paz-to-Oruro }read began four months ago.

MINFRS Engineers from the United Kingdom are trying to show the Bolivians how to make their once British - owned railways again run on time. Paz's chief task, outside so- cial reform, has been to make the nationalized tin-mining in- dustry economically viable. In the mines, labor holds a veto 'over management, which has resulted in flagrant feather- bedding and dwindling produc- tivity.
