Kill the Wolves in the North; He Urges The Advance, Timmins. Dear Sir:â€"In reading the disgraceâ€" ful happening between the farmer and four hunters recently near Hamilton, Ontario, and other similar quarrels the last few years between hunters and farmers, it has caused the pages of my long, active, happy life to be rolled back 48 vears to when I ceased market hunting and became a sportsman and a conservationist, and this beautiful motrning I feel it my duty to say a few words in bilack and white, thus preâ€" venting being misquoted. dyism is ungentlemanly even in a bar room. On the other hand the real sportsman is a goldenâ€"rule, considerâ€" ate, principled gentleman and if he comes on your fenced farm he will go to the posts to get over and if he sees the farmer he will go to him in a cheerfully obedient manner. Personally I have found the farmers are just as human as I am and I have roamed their farms with all classes of gentleâ€" men, namely preachers of different deâ€" naominations, doctors, lawyers and laâ€" boring men that worked for me and Prepare for Winter Combi nat ion STORM DOORS SASH Roy‘s are equipped to make your home comfortable this winter.

Harvey Greene, secretaryâ€"manager, Lumber and Timber Association of Lowâ€"Cost Houses Is The Greatest Need Statistics tell us that we are seriously underbuilt in houses to the extent of about 52,000 and in proof of such staâ€" tistics we know how difficult it is for a family in the average wage bracket to find a home. The Dominion Government has recognized that situaâ€" tion and has brought out its Housing Act, but however meritorious it may be it has been a failure as regards the average family, The great need is for the construction of dwellings which will be suitable and within the rental or purchase power of the majority of the families in this country. The standard of living both as reâ€" gards housing and susttnance is far higher than it was 30 or 40 years agoâ€" salaries and wages have likewise inâ€" creased but not in the same proporâ€" ton. It has been estimated by world rccognized authorities that an average family should not have to expend more than 20 per cent. of its income for housing, and this includes heat and light. The income of an average family varies from $140 to $150 a month, and consequently the rent (or its equivaâ€" lent when they are buying a home) should not exceed about $20 a month after deducting an allowance for heat and light. It seems almost unnecessary to add that the more money required to heat the home the less can be exâ€" pended in rentâ€" . . . the point I wish to emphasize is that the poorer the conâ€" struction the greater will be the cost of heating in winter and also the less comfort the dwelling will possess in the hot summer months, because if there is anything of which we can be sure it is that a house that is difficult and costly to heat during the winter will 3e hot and hence unhealthy during the summer, New Dwellings Should Be Within Purchasing Powâ€" er of the Average Wageâ€" Earner Yard: Schumacher, Phone 725 The unique roughâ€"cast surface of Standard Donnacona and the pleasâ€" ing variety of shades and textures of Donnacona Burl Board, make Donnacona ideal for interior decoâ€" ration. * There is a Donnacona Product for every insulating purpose.

It must be warm in winter, cool in summer and free from dampness at all times. 3. It must possess sufficient accomâ€" modation and convweniences and be so planned as to reduce to a reasonable minimum the work of keeping it clean and habitable. 4. It must have adequate ventilatior in every room and be placed on a lot of sufficisnt size that such ventilation will be effective. [ 4A Al _above requiremeonts be seâ€" I know they can be.

One of the first things your association did was to inâ€" terview Hon. David Croll regarding the class of dwelling that would be built under the Ontario Government Housâ€" ing Scheme. I was not with your assoâ€" ciation at that time but I know a great deal was accomplished for the lumber industry. Mr. Croll said: "Lumber is a large factor in our natural resources and I think we would do well to make use of it." As a result of the facts presented by that deputation to a man trained to weigh and judge values, seven out of the 14 experimental houses at present being built in the Toronto district are of frame construction. Can Afford Frame House As I stated a couple of paragraphs ago, the family in the average income bracket can afford a frame house, but not one of the other buildingz types.

DONNACONA INSULATING LATH IS THE IDEAL PLASTER BASE. onable expense, well with‘in their means, just because of a prejudice against lumber in the minds of our lawmakers? They should not be so prevented, and, if the lumber industry wiil let them know what it is possible for them to do, we will have on our wiil let them know what it is possible for them to do, we will have on our side one of the most powerful bodies. Get the knowledge over to these averâ€" age families that with lumber it is enâ€" tirely possible for them to possess modern homes, and their voting power will force every Government body, whether urban. rural, provincial or federal into altering prosent laws so that such homes can be built. I think everyone will agree with me that if the average family demands the right to build frame homes, of cours>s using proper and upâ€"toâ€"date construction methods, no one will dare to deny that right. Getting Copies of Byâ€"laws After the office of the association was opened, asout the first thing done was to write the building inspectors every city and town in the province asking them for a copy of their buildâ€" ing byâ€"law. Replies have not been reâ€" ceived from all, but to date we have learnsd that about a dozen are at preâ€" Branch Office: Kirkland Lake, Phone 393 sent revising their building byâ€"law. We wrote to all of these cities offering to supply them with the most upâ€"toâ€"date information about lumber and its use in construction. We also wrote to every lumber firm whether retail, wholesale or manufacturer in those cities, inâ€" forming them of the proposed revision and suggesting that they get together and if possible secure representation on the committee carrying out the revisâ€" ion. Of course, we also offered the help of the association in supplx ing inforâ€" mation.
