"@ THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, November 23, 1963 . REPORT FROM U.K. ~ Desire For Home Privacy Lessens By M. McINTYRE HOOD Special London (Eng.) Correspondent to The Oshawa Times LONDON -- A great change is taking place in the face of the English countr--side. It is . very noticeable as one travels around the country, And it is also seen in the ney .suburban areas which are springing up around London and some of the other large cities of Britain. It is a chan,e which is all the more striking to people who can recall Britain as it was 50 years ago, or even 20 years ago, as a country in which peo- were so obsessed with the idea of maintaining the privacy of their homes that they sur- rounded them with high walls of stone or brick. Even in more modest residences, fences as high as 10 feet used to be quite normal as dividing lines be- tween their gardens, so that chatting with neighbors over the fence, a common pas- time and custom in Canada, was just out of the question, I am reminded of the old song "Don't Fence Me In" . which was popular about a gen- eration ago. The idea behind , that old song is taking hold of more and more of the people «* Britain today, : FENCES COME DOWN I have noticed in so many places that those claustrophbic, cresoted weather-board fences which divide gardens, and * which spoil many an otherwise attractive street, are coming down in increasing numbers. I * have taken note, too, that many of the tall brick walls which have for generations surround- ed lovely old homes and gar- dens, are being demolished. It almost seems as if at long last the light of day is being al- lowed to penetrate into the grounds around these houses. That is true in another sense. I was interested to note re-| cently on a village street on which the houses were hemmed| in by thick groves of tall trees, which must have made the rooms dark and dingy, that these trees are also coming down, and are being replaced by colorful gardens and grassy lawns, wide open to the public view, MANY ADVANTAGES House owners who are mak- ing these improvements are finding that they provide many advantages, Removing old wooden gate posts provide an excellent cpportunity of widen- in; the entrance to the garage, and in these days of larger model cars that is a considera- tion. And they are finding that replacing a tall fence or wall with a low wall, not over two feet high, makes the garden in front of the hose green, more spacious, and in many cases en- ables it to enjoy a great deal more sunshine. It is interesting to notice the extent to which the present- day cult of do-it-yourself is en- tering into the making of these improvements, Many a man is making an exciting hobby out of this remodelling of the sur- roundings of his home. And he is doing it at very little' ex- pense other than the use of his own time and labor. The new Britain that is com- ing into being with the building of hundreds of thousands of new homes is a 'ascinating thing to watch. Nowadays, homes are being built very much on the Canadian pattern so far as the grounds are concerned, with open lawns running down to the sidewalks, bordered with flower beds. In the village in which I live this is the pattern of the new housing developments, and it is a tremendous improvement on the dark, tall brick walls around properties which, for- tunately, have now been demol- ished along with the walls, to make 'way for the new style of living which will be the general pattern in the British of tomor- row. YOUR HEALTH Shoes Should Fit Feet Comfortably By JOSEPH G. MOLNER, MD Dear Dr. Molner: What is your opinion of young children wearing hand - me - down shoes from older sisters and brothers? Is this bad for the child's feet? I was told it was, but only by a shoe salesman.--AGL Shoes, to some degree, change shape to suit the wearer's feet. Some people toe in, some toe out; most are average. Some people walk on the out- side of the foot, some on the in- side. Some people (especially children) scuff the toes, Others wear out the heels, Some have wide and some have narrow feet, and I've had first-hand ob- servation of a good many fam. ilies in which children of the same parents have quite differ- ent feet--as well as quite dif- ferent noses, heights, tastes, etc, | After a child has worn a pair of shoes long enough to need} new ones, he (or she) has| changed their shape, There are} bumps and ills in the inner sole) to fit the toes, The shoes have| been worn so that they tip a) bit this or that way. Now suppose that these same shoes are worn by another child. The hills and hollows of the inner soles don't fit the feet. This may not matter much in some cases, but it could in others. The new feet could (sometimes) be pushed into a faulty pattern, by trying to con- form, , Or if the shoes have become fun over at the heel, the sec- ond wearer begins to walk in the same way -- because the shoes make him do so. No, I think that every child should, if it is possible, have) his own shoes, and let them con-| form to whatever shape his feet) me-downs don't hurt anything, either feet or pride. Occa- sionally they do. CGIT Officers Elected At Enniskillen By MRS. RUSSELL GRIFFIN ENNISKILLEN -- The regu- lar CGIT meeting was held at the church recently.

Most people thought we couldn't possibly--but we did! Improve on the '63 Corvair, that is. We took that good ol' reliable, rear-mounted, air- cooled, flat-six 80-horsepower Corvair engine, and gave It a shot in the arm. Or, to be more exact, in the displacement and other related statistics. Up goes the horsepower--to 95 (110 In the extra-cost high-performance version); up goes the power-to-weight ratio; and up the hill (any hill) and along the highway go you in your '64 Corvair. Fringe benefits: the engine doesn't have to work as hard, is quieter than ever. And Corvair is quieter than ever to ride in, You're always ahead of the engine--and the game--in a Corvair. Independent suspension's one of the reasons; room and comfort are two more; handling ease, and superior traction and reliability... man, how this car piles up the evidence for excellence! Take some time toe morrow to ask your Chevrolet dealer what's new about the '64 Corvair, Especially the new Spyder series. He'll tell you to go climb a hill--in the nicest way, of course. In a '64 Corvair. Be sure to see Bonanza on the CBC-TV network each Sunday. Check your local listing for channel and time.
