THURSDAY, AUG UBT 2ND. 1934 The problem of sufficient hot water has also been solved. Toâ€"day you can actually have a seifâ€"operating water heater in your cottage which uses the cheapest and most available fuelsâ€" kerosene or gas. Kerosene can be obâ€" tained from any store or service station and used in a wellâ€"designed water heatâ€" er convenient bathing and an adequate supply of kitchen hot Water is assured. Both the conventional tub and the shower are considered standard equipâ€" ment now in the summer and country home. No more poising precariously in an inadequate pan for an unsatisfyâ€" ing sponging. The city 'bathmom has gone to the country. Homeâ€"Made Electricity Brlngs Comforts _ Country homes on remote concessions far from a hydro power line are enâ€" joyving the comforts and ‘conveniences of electricity operated appliances.

Of Course You‘ll Want Plumbing, Soâ€" Perfect enjoyment of summer cotâ€" tage life is very Ooften ruined by the millions (conservatively estimated) of house flies that gather around. And you will generally find that their favourite gathering place is around the back door. Why? Well, simply because that secondâ€"hand dish water is often throw1t indifferently out the back door and that‘s an immediate wideâ€"spread inâ€" vitation to every fly within a radius of miles. Almost everyone would like to have a summer home but until recent years the thought of living in the woods on the shore of a cozl lake has been inâ€" variably associated with a mental picâ€" ture of hewing wood and hauling water â€"which is something apart from the average persons‘s conception of a restâ€" ful life during the warm weather.

CANADA PACKERS LIMITED In laying and placing the intake pipe line, if the system is drawing water from the lake, every precaution must be taken to ensure perfect operation by excluding from the intake all‘ foreign matter such as sand, gravel, weeds and sticks that may be attracted by the suction. If either one of these systems are not to be installed at the time, a hand pump can be connected to a storage tank and it is then only necessary to use it occasionally to replenish the contributing to the modern summe cottage is an efficient, adequate sew age disposal system. For reliable ad vice on this subject, consult your build er or plumber because there are man considerations that affect the fina cholce. Do not select your system too hastâ€" ily. It is the basis of your summer comâ€" fortâ€"and healthâ€"and is therefore deâ€" serving of the greatest attention. Then You Can Have a Water System With a good sewage disposal system installed, you are in a position to select your water supply system. proved summer cottage, by all means plan on having a roomy kitchen sink with proper drainage facilities, and a bath or washroom. The fAixtures need not be of the finest but their services All this at a moderate cost because research â€" and installation engineers have improved mechanical systems and appliances. Toilet Conveniences Without Water supply Among these systems is the chemical toiletâ€"a convenience perfected through the coâ€"operation of chemists and manâ€" ufacturers. It can be installed within the cottageâ€"is completely vented and odorless and is a very appreciated conâ€" venience in cottages not equipped with a water supply and sewage disposal system. A Good Sewage Disposal System One of the most important factors The nature and the elevation of the soil surrounding the cottage are of utâ€" most importance in planning a sewage disposal system. Where a septic tank is installedâ€"either of metal or built in the ground ‘with soil surrounding it must be absorptive and there must be sufficient pittch to enâ€" courage a flow through the weeping tile pipe branches. Rather than attempt to save a few dollars on the installaâ€" tion of a sewage disposal system, you would be well advised to throw the savings in the lake and go back to naâ€" ture in big way. age Disposal System most important factor ) the modern ral A porch facing either east or west may be provided when the house faces east, has a living room facing south, east, and west, and a garden with the major part of the let at the south. Or the porch may be on the south leading Today, in many instances, almost{ the worst place to put a porch is across | the front of a house, if it faces directâ€" ly on a busy street, but that is where it once was always found. In the horseâ€"andâ€"buggy days, when sma11| town life afforded few diversions and both parents and children found their chief pleasure in saluting acquaintâ€" ances strolling or driving past, the front porch was a social factor. But life today, even in villages, with cars, movies, radios, and automobiles, offers too many, rather than too few diverâ€"| sions, and the family seeks easy chairs on the porch for relaxation and quiet rather than in search of excitement. Moreover, in modern life, fewer perâ€" sons stroll past. Those few are selâ€" dom personal acquaintances, and inâ€", stead of the not unpleasant sound of l horse‘s hoofs and crunching wheels! emphasizing the evening quiet, there is often the nerve racking noise of autoâ€" mobiles and horns on almost every street, while in congested places the ceaseless noise of traffic is destructive to both nerves and conversation. ! If only grownâ€"ups are to be consid ered a terrace in such a situation i practically always the best choice. Yetga porch is essential if the family is to have relief from summer heat and if the younger children are to have a proper place on the many days of the vear when the vard is wet or cold. tank. At a later date it would be posâ€" sible and inexpensive to connect the tank and supply pipe with either an electric or gasoline motored unit. In any event, when laying the intake pipe, assure your system of a constant supply by guarding carefully the mouth of the pipe. Then ensure against accidents by marking prominently the location of your intake line so that boats in dockâ€" ing will not foul it. A few fioats, securely attached to the pipe by fiexâ€" ible, rustâ€"resisting wire, should serve this purpose. Allow also for seasonal variations in the water level of the lake by extendâ€" ing the pipe far enough from shore for the intake to be absolutely secure from the greatest possible drop in the lake level, An intake that is left high and ary by low level or that is exposed in the trough of high waves is of very little use. There is this to remember, however. All wells are not of uniform depth. Therefore, water will not always have to be drawn for equal heights. To meet this condition, manufacturâ€" ers have developed what are known as shallow well and deep well pumps. Their names are selfâ€"explanatory but always you should investigate carefully beforeâ€"hand to determine which type of pump #ou should instal. There is no necessity for involving the additionâ€" al expense of a deepâ€"well pump (0f higher power) where a shallowâ€"well pump (of lower power) would serve the purpose. Plan for Summer Comfort in the Home The outstanding summer comfort a home can offer, in addition to shade trees and a grass plot, is a large porch, where seclusion is provided. When you contemplate building a porch} do not lose sight of the new factors, such ng 1 the | the level as the automobile and its traffic, which have changed our modes of living, and and in consequence necessitates a deâ€" parture from the conventional ideas of twentyâ€"five years ago. If You Have a Good Well Some summer cottagers are fortunâ€" ate in having on their property a good well that can be depended upon for an unfailing supply. When this is the case, a well pump can be adaptedâ€"â€"a pump of any one of the types mentionâ€" ed above. ooooooooooooooooooo : Infantry Brigade in THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO spring and fall, the children can play out the year round, and the baby has an idGeal place for out of door naps.

A typical report of this nature was one received from the Huntsville subdivision, in the Muskoka district, which stated that early in the evening a fire was found burning more than 300 yards distant from the tracks and clcse to a road. Before the blaze could be extinguished by the use of sand 10 acres of stumps and slashing had been burned over. The cause was eventuâ€" ally fixed as a lighted cigarette butt carelessly thrown away from a passing vehicle. Before the fire was extinguâ€" ished section men had to work many hours overtime. It is not generally known but all locomotives operating through forest lands carry every proâ€" tection to prevent sparks starting fires.

The Owen Scunders would have liked to go away for camp, but the other units of the Brigade wished to go back, praising the excellent facilities, and claiming the camp there last year was the best which the Brigade has ever had. Knowing that the camp meant much to the city the Owen Sounders agreed to cambn there again. "The training of the Brigade while in camp will be mostly technical work. Last year attack was studied. This year attention will be given to defence. In addition, the Brigade will complete its classification in musketry and maâ€" chine gun. Very little time will be given to drill. "The Grey Regiment under Lt.â€"Col. N. E. McDonald, M.M., of Owen Sound went into camp on Monday, to put up camp last year.

"Not a word of appreciation for 27 years of service to hydro; not a syllable of gratitude for his unequalled skill and ingenuity in building up Ontario‘s greatest public utility; not a single phrase that this might be other than a common hydro employee. Rather, it signifies a desire to be rid of Mr. Gaby in a great hurry. He cannot go too soon; the Premier has spoken and "Gaby must go." "Of what misdmeanour or crime has the chief hydro engineer been guilty to demand such ignominious treatâ€" ment? Was it ever proven that he took part in any of the alleged political mancuvres in hydro circles, as Mr. Hepâ€" burn intimated in election campaign addresses? If so, the public does not know of it. The new hydro chairman has declared that public shall henceâ€" forth know the truth ofâ€" all hydro transactions. All right, then let us have the inside story of Mr. Gaby‘s alleged machinations and offences against the powers that now reign at Queen‘s Park. "Not knowing Mr. Gaby personally, we cannct extol his virtues nor conâ€" demn his vices. But we believe the people of Ontario desire to see fair play. Has Mr. Gaby merited the sumâ€" mary dismissal meted out to him at the instance of Premier Hepburn or is he the unwitting victim of a political 'reprisal? Has Mr. Gaby ever publicly spoken by word of mouth or in print to defend the administration of hydro against the accusations of its critics? So far as we know, the fight has been waged solely by politicians, while Mr. Gaby has minded his own business and gone on working for the great sytem to which he has given the best part of his life. North American Life has Large New Assurances "Mr. Gaby began with the inception of hydro in 1907 and was Sir Adam Beck‘s rightâ€"handed man until his death about twenty years later. Mr. Gaby since then has continued as directing head of the enterprise and to his genius and foresight must be atâ€" tributed much of the success attending it. He has received his reward in beâ€" ing unceremoniously "kicked out" and that by a man, Mr. Lyon, who proâ€" fesses to have been Sir Adam Beck‘s intimate and fervent supporter during the trying formative period of hydro, a period during which Mr. Gaby was the practical instrument for carrying into effect Sir Adam‘s plans. The question, unless publicly answered now, will echo down the corridors of time: "WHY DID GABY HAVE TO GO?" A report released by North American Life covering the activities for the first six months of 1934 shows substantial gains in sales which have increased gains in sales which have increased over 25 p.c. over the same period of 1933. This is marked by large inâ€" creases in volume of new business in every month since January.
