Just so the furniture looked like mahogany, walnut or maple, it suited the average person; while wood panelied walls meant knotty pine to most of us. Perâ€" haps our renewed interest today in woods and trees is due to the panic we all feel as modern events unfold to reveal the synthetic stuff our city civilizations are made of; we turn to wood as we reach out to touch all basic carthy things. And we find in it a symbol of enduring, healing nature. Rare Grains This last decade has seen an asâ€" tounding variety of woods in use. We have our modern designers to thank in part for this, for they have eagerly sought out rare and interesting grains, less hackneyed woods. And they have glorified rather than masked the naâ€" tural wood grains, and have introduced many new finishes. We also must niake a bow to many contemporary lumbermen who have made or coâ€"operâ€" ated with efforts to protect our naâ€" tural forests by using various types of Many Wood Grains Are Fashionable Today For Both Walls and Furnitureâ€"Redwood Hemlock, Cherry, Cypress and um Panelling in Modern Rooms.

Of the lesssr known woods, balsa is the lightest of all woods, lighter than cork, too soft for cabinet work, but The more rare and exotic woods, not available in sufficient quantity for walls are offered in various types of modern furniture.

Raleigh, who brought it from Jamaica, and by the Spanish explorers, became the fashionable cabâ€" inet wood by the middle of the 18th century. The masterpieces of Georâ€" ian furniture were of Mahogany and it was also the leading wood of the perâ€" iods known as French Empirs, English Regency, Federal American. Satinwood, fruitwoods, rosewood and chony were less abundant woods but thry have had great style importance from the 18th century on. Maple, birch pine, chestnutâ€"and beech are less forâ€" mal woods that have been widely used for tlys everyday furniture of the world. Walls of wood panelling have usually paralleled, when possible, the fashionâ€" able cabinet woods. Oak and walnut have been used fairly frequently for wall panelling, while mahogany, beâ€", Walnut, though used fromâ€" early times had its heyday in the 17th and carly 18th centuries, a hard fineâ€" grained wood suitable for gracious orâ€" namental carving.

There was complaint about the numâ€" ber of dogs running around town and Chief Greer said the byâ€"law would enforce in this regard. The matter of the proposed public library for Timâ€" mins was discussed. C.oâ€"S.

The Sault team was a reâ€" markable hockey aggregation, famous for combination play and for long exâ€" perience together. the gold miners have a forward line that is hard to beat. McGuir» and Cox are hard to bet by. Cox is about largely a matter of luck. The Sault players agreed that the Timmins lads were the fastest they had encountered during the season. The soft ice was a handicap to the Timmins players, but they put up fast, clean hockey that surprised the Sault. The linsup of the teams was as follows:â€" Porcupine â€" Worters, Goal; Cox and McGuire, deâ€" fence; Parker, centré; campbell, right; McCurry, left; Brown Burritt, spares.

It is almost as good as the Sault team. Even in the finest form of the Sault team, Timmins would give them, or any other team, a stiff argument". The Star also commented on the fact that the Timmins team was light and young, most of the players being around 21 and the average weight around 140 pounds.
