WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 25, 1977, PAGE 5 I love fireplaces. During the past decade many other people have fallen for them too. But it's been the past two years that fireplaces have become the pride and joy of more new (and old homes) than ever before. Time was when folks laughed at old pictures showing people of 'yesteryear' standing with their backs to an open fire warming a chilly seat. Not any more. Take a look at house ads. The heading will often state "Log Burning Fireplace". New homes feature them as a desirable extva. And that's what they are: desirable. No home is complete without one. I don't care if it's a Benjamin Franklin, cast iron (and you can cook mealston then). A brick or one of the magnificent stone models: angel, field or natural cut stone. A steel acorn or heatilator type make excellent fireplaces. Some "experts" say 80% of the heat is lost up the Bradley Bulletin An article announcing the formation of the Bradley Community Association appeared in this publication on April 27. We now wish to express our thanks to this newspaper for the opportunity to run a monthly column on the activities of our Association as we develop and grow to become an active community group in the Town of Whitby. Our main united concentration so far has been on the pro- posal by Pontiac Properties Cochrane Limited to subdivide the south east corner of the Bradley Farm Subdivision. A petition circulated in our community supported strong opposition to the presence of town houses in that proposal and also the desire to have more park area for young children provided by the Developer. After several active meetings held with the Developer, and with the assistance and guidance of the Administrative Committee and Mayor J. Gartshore, a final compromise was reached reducing the number of town houses to be erected in the area and additional park area was provided for the children. The first approval to that plan was given by the Administrative Committee at their May 16th meeting. Participation in the upcoming Town Carnival was considered by the Association with a view to sponsoring an activity in our park. It was decided that we wouldwait until next year when not only will our park be more suitable but we also will be better organised and able to provide a more worthy contribution toward the success of the Town Carnival.

I say it depends 'on the kincd ot tireplace you have, its construction, draught systen and fuel. - Fireplaces can be fitted into almost ANY ROOM! I've seen them hanging fron cellings -- huge all-enclosed affairs with heat dispersing through glasslike covers through- out the roon! Not too long ago many people with fire- places did not use them saying they were "Too dirty".' Well, one of the joys of a fireplace to me is feeding the fire, poking the embers and clearing the ash before and at burning time. Friends gather around the fireplace just like bees around a hive. Fire has drawing power. It creates atmosphere for goodwill and happiness. And with the cost of heating (oil and gas) fireplaces are being used more and more to offset home heating .costs. Remember too, some apartments allow fireplaces. I was raised with a fireplace in every room! Hard to believe but true. According to research by a homemakers magazine during the past five years -- fireplaces hold their value and build more equity into a home than a swimming pool. It's surprising how little a fireplace costs if vou are handy. I'm a clod with my hands so some sever ;ars ago our heatilator fireplace cost $1000 installed wich chimney and beautiful coloured cut brick facing -- floor-to-ceiling model., Doing it oneself would cut today's cost in half, maybe less. Wood is the nost popular fuel, but coal gives out, I feel, greater more steady heat. I prefer wood for handling and it's important to use hardwood for heat. Maple, Oak, Birch, Ash are excellent and apple is good too. Avoid poplar. They 'gum up' the chimney and create snoke.

A face cord is 4' x 8! and we prefer 16" lengths. Our fire helps keep our heating down to 60-65 (and us in front of the fire). Personally, I believe fireplaces are money savers and a joy. We've got the cave dwellers to thank for them and unlike the stone age -- today's open fireplaces with their cheery blaze attracts our animal friends rather than frighten then off. And last but not least the best stories are swap- ped around fireplaces as also is revered the finest tasting wines.
