Au Revoir Brother Dobbin "The Army Survey Establishment won't guarantee flying saucers but theyll likely whip up a couple of flying windmills this summer for their annual four to five months mapping junket into the Yukon and surrounding wilderness. The flying windmills, of course, are helicopters. Last summer the commanding officer, Lt. Col. C. H. Smith, of Ottawa, experimented with one in the Northwest. The idea behind all this was to come up with a means of overland trek- king not quite so uncomfortable and cantankerous as the time-honored pack horse, He reported success, and this summer the establishment hopes to equip two or three parties with 'copters. oH { Leaking or rusty pipes are both a nuisance and an un- necessary expense.

Vd lds PHONE 108 With a helicopter, say the troops who should know, there will be no spread hooves or saddle sores. Cold shoeing will become a lost art and it's almost a foregone conclusion that the helicopter won't head off into the wild blue yonder should the feed supply run low. But then again, the man-made "workhorse" will never develop the personality of the four-legged variety. The surveyors, working from aer- ial photos supplied by the RCAF, carry out contralled survey opera- tions for topographical mapping. This summer they will work in the Eastern Yukon along the Canal line toward Fort Norman; along a twen- ty-mile strip on either side of the Alaska Highway in the Whitehorse area; in the general area of Tele- graph Creek, B.C.; in the Rocky Mountains west of Fort St. John; along the highway between Fort St. John and Grande Prairie; and in the Wainwright area. The first parties will shove off from Ottawa about the middle of May. Many Homes Lack Proper Plumbing Montreal, Que.--One of the most serious deficiencies of many older homes today is the general lack of modern adequate sanitary facilities. There is no better time than now to start bringing these houses more into line with current high stand- ards of comfortable living, advises The Canadian Institute of Plumb- ing and Heating. . "Medical Room" Since plumbing fixtures are be- coming more readily available they are selling at reasonable prices. This provides the owner of a home or income property with an oppor- tunity to improve and modernize these facilities for the first time in many years. For example, many people have been needlessly depriving them- selves of the convenience of mod- ern bathrooms simply because they have the mistaken impression that the "medical room" of the house must be large. If necessary, says the C.IP.H., all the three essential '| bathroom fixtures can be placed in a room as small as five feet by five feet. However, a common average is generally five feet by eight feet. Get Wise Advice If an extra bathroom, powder room or guest wash room is planned it is always wise to seek advice of an architect or plumbing contrac- tor. The consultant who under- stands plumbing thoroughly can suggest a ' convenient, economical and technically acceptable location for bathroom fixtures. In the event that space is not readily available for a complete |: bathroom, there are various alter- natives to be considered; a down- stair lavatory in the hall, the hall closet or some room near the hall; a lavatory in the kitchen or bed- room; a shower in the basement; or a closet combination in the basement. There is scarcely a dwelling in this country which could not be modernized at comparatively small expense to accommodate an extra bathroom or lavatory, as well as to provide better and more functional equipment in existing layouts. « Why Worry About The Coal Shortage ?

But to get this satisfaction one must choose flowers, vegetables and shrubs rather carefully. It just isn't possible to have many big things or vines that spread and trail. In the flower line it is best to stick to a large proportion of small plants, tiny edging things like alyssum, ageratum and the dwarf types of marigolds, zinnias and nas- turtiums. One can get a fine show- ing with a few dom»2n petunias, and this year it will be possible to in- clude the new flaming red type "Larger flowers like the hollyhock, dahlia and canna should be used sparingly though there is usually a corner at the back where one or two of these will add to the picture. With shrubbery the average per- son almost invariably plants too much, too close, and uses too big kinds. True, when first purchased, these things are tiny, but so is a maple or elm tree when it is a baby. There is a wide variety of small shrubs available and by choosing carefully one can get a succession of bloom or bright colored foliage throughout the entire season. It is never a good plan to plant any shrub nearer than three feet to a | Canadian Garden Service building. Weather conditions are usually more severe in such locations and the soil dries out to readily. But in any case, as the shrubs grow the walls will restrict natural development. A LOT FOR A LITTLE Even if the plot available is only 10 by 12 it is surprising the amount of vegetables that can be produced. Of course where the family is more than average in size more space is desirable. In these small vegetable gardens it is important to plan rather care- fully, There will be no room for tall or sprawly things. For the amount of room needed nothing can give greater satisfaction than lettuce, beets, carrots, radish and beans, The latter are particularly suitable--a twelve foot row well cul- tivated and fertilized, will furnish many meals of the finest quality. For such vegetables it will not be necessary to leave more than 12 to 15 inches between rows. One can get still more production by inter- planting; that is, putting very early things like radish, lettuce and spinach in every other row, with the beans, carrots, beets, etc. in between. The first maturing are used and out of the way before the second group require all the room. One can usually find room for a few staked tomatoes around the edge of the small plot and also a FIXIT 156 GIBBON ST. 'ORNAMENTAL IRON WORK . WELDING .

BE SURE SEED IS RIGHT Here is some sound advice from a Canadian government bulletin: "Good seed can be obtained from the local seed store; it can be relied upon as it confomms to established Government standards. But it is a good plan to ask your supplier to give you the varieties best suited to your particular locality. Often a crop does not do well because a variety of s.ed was used not suit- ed to the district."
