In return for his fee, ranging from 6 to 10 per cent of the cost of the new house (depending o of the new house (depending on how much work he doe:) he can guard for you on the building site against substitution of materials, if by chance you should have been unwise in the choice of a contract- or or superintendent, or if on some days you can't be right there to see what's going on. And if that safeguard proves un- necessary, your architect knows how to steer you away from em- barassing legal claims, seeing that you don't stumble into some situa- tion which might add unexpectedly to the cost of your house. There ar some possible errors in land title deeds to be wary of, and possible future claims for adjustment on lot lines. 3 The architect specializing in house design knows all the pitfalls. He has a lengthy experience of "trouble" such as few home own- ers possess and can return his fee in trouble-shooting alone. as the ability to design a nouse you can live in happily or resell profit- ably, with better, trouble-free heat- ing and plumbing and ighting in- stallations, proper insulation, bet- ter room arrangement and better outside appearance. The architect designs your néw house two ways -- how much mon- ey you have to spend, and the 44 sign ideas you want to put into it. But where your ideas are two am- bitious for your budget the danger line in spending will be seen by him sooner than by you and he will suggest smart savings by cut- ting down useless features without loss of comfort or appearance in many cases. The architect is essentially a technician, and he is as much an engineer as he is an artist, sl he will insit on knowing all there is depends on how well it blends in with its surroundings. When the architect has a clear picture of your requirements he makes rough sketches of the house. If these are satisfactory to you he proceeds with the working draw- ings and specifications. The speci- fications are the written details of construction which supplemert the drawings. If requested, the architect will arrange competitive bidding for construction and also draw up the building contract based on the "plans and specifications. General- ly, architects use standard cony tract decuments approved by the Royal Arehitectural Institu of Canada. The architect will check all bills for materials and labor and ap- prove them for payment and will also supervise construction if re- tained to do so. He will make a final inspection of the completed house and obtain the necessary guarantees from the contractor properties of your neighbors-to-be.

Attaching Garage To House Space Saver On Small Lot Because many post-war purchas- érs of small homes did not need garages, builders shved "costs by eli- minating them. With so many fam- 'ilies acquiring cars since that time, the majority of these home-owners require (car shelter. Questions .most often asked are where the garage should be locat- ed; what material for its construc- tion; and whether a car-port will suffice. If the pt is small but has side yard large enofigh to meet local zoning law requirements, the gar- age should be attached to the house. By building it of the same material and of harmonizing archi- tectural design, house and garage will form a pleasing unit. The at- tached, fully-enclosed garage gives a rambling effect to the small house and uses a minimum of valuable yard space. A long driveway to a garage in the rear takes up about 16 per cent of a 50'. x 100° plot; if the garage is near the front of the house, within 20 or 25 feet of the street, only 4 per cent of yard is sacrificed. In attaching a garige to the house, do not let it extend forward turther than the front of the house itself, More interesting architectur- al lines are achieved if it is set back about 6 feet so that a jog is formed. Any attached garage should be built with a view to fire-safety ese pecially as regards the walls ad- Joining thé dwelling. Most builders meet this requirement by installing non-combustible mineral wool in- sulation in garage walls and roof. Should a fire break out, the flames will be held back from an hour to van hour and a half. Furthermore, the insulation will protect the liv- ing quarters from a cold garage. Charges U.S. "Stole" Gold From Indians Deadwood, 8.D. (AP) -- A des- cendant of the Chippewa Indians has filed suit against the United States government, asking return to the Indians of the "millions of dollars of gold taken from the Black Hills since 1875." Herbert Harris of Ottawa filed the suit in probate court "in be- half of the estate of the North 'American Indians of Canada and the United States." They are the lawful heirs to the gold by "birth- right inheritance," Harris said. Harris' mother was a Chippewa Indian. His father was Irish. The 79-year-old Canadian seeks an accounting of all the gold taken from the Black Hills since 1875. He indicts the United States as a "claim jumper and an invader without a recorded transfer of title from the original title holders." Harris said in the suit that the gold should be apportioned to each living surviving heir of the North American Indian. He asks that the apportionment be made by an ad- ministrator. Located in the Black Hills is the Homestake gold mine, leading gold - producing mine in the coun- try.

Of course one can mount a towel rack on the wall on which the towels can be hung, but it can't be said that this procedure add§ much to the fastidious housekeeper's esthetic enjoyment of her kitchen, Comes now the National Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning Association with a. suggestion as to a way to solve this problem. The Association also points out that this is another method of utilizing the warm air heating system to provide convenience in the house as well as comfort. The suggestion is to install a warm air register in the floor of the cabinet under the sink. You can hang your damp tea towels in this cabinet, out of sight, and the warm air flowing in will dry them quickly as well as provide abundant venti- lation for this area. One important point to remember in following this suggestion: Be cer- tain that the cabinet or cabinet doors are equipped with grilled openings so that a free flow of the warmed air through the cabinet can be established. Future Tough For Souvenir Hunters Souvenir "hunting" by Canadian soldiers overseas won't be worth the time and trouble in future. Army Headquarters today issued strict orders prohibiting the approp- riation of most types of captured enemy material by Canadian sol- diers serving in an operational theatre. The order specifically forbids the retention or shipment as souvenirs of war trophies, firearms, exp- losives or any materials contain- ing explosives, radio and radar sets or equipment, inflammable or combustible material of any kind and enemy uipment "whether privately owned or otherwise' in- cluding motor vehicles, airplanes, surgical or dental instruments and machine tools. Canadian soldiers also are for- bidden to retain or ship home "works of art and science which were the property of municipali- ties or of institutions' dedicated to religion, charity, education, or the arts and sciences." Also taboo are articles which which were the personally-owned property of an individual or an organization. Items mentioned in the order include paintings, objects of art, silverware, china, linen, furniture, clothing, stamp collect- ions, coin ections, gems and jewellery unless properly purchas- ed from the rig owners.
