' Veterags' Hospital Open to Public--Sunnybrook Hospital is one/of the largest and most modern hospitals in Canada. First sod as turned in November, 1943. Building commenced in A ugust, 1944. First open to the public on Remembrance Day of this year. Sun rooms can be seen at the end of each wing in the above aerial view of the veterans' hospital. Well Insulated, Well Ventilated Farm Buildings Methods of planned insulation are \ being more generally adopted not : only for the farm home 'itself but * for alt animal shelters on the farm. Insulated homes are more comfort- able; they cost less to heat in the winter, and during hot summer days they are more easily kept cool. Live-stock buildings are seldom heated, animal heat being relied upon to skeep the building comfortable. * Such buildings. says G. B. Harrison, Dominion ~~ Experimental. Station, Swift Current, Sas., should be insul- ated to_conserve this animal heat as much as possible. Concrete floors will be warmer-if they are built over 'a cinder fill. Cinders have a greater . insulating value than gravel, stone, or the earth over which a concrete floor is often poured. Trouble from Moisture The walls of farm buildings may be filled with "insulating material, such as wood shavings, sunflower seed hulls, or some of the commeg- cial insulating materials such as ver- miculite or mineral wool. The space between the joists of the-ceiling may 2 + be partially filled with these, or the loft may be filled with hay or straw. If moistare finds its way into the ' . "insulation in walls or . ceilings, : trouble may be expected from con- densation. Sills and studs may start : decaying. To prevent water vapour : 1 i passing _through to the cold outer layers of the insulation, a vapour- "proof material should he used on the warn: side of the wall. Two coats of an oil paint will. give fairly good results. Better results will be. obtain- ed by using vapour-proof paper, a v specialty which is sold by most lum- LH, ber dealers. : Ventilation Important A tight, well-insulated building is easier to ventilate than an uninsul- ated drafty structure. If live stock™ or poultry are to be profitable, their hicalth should be safeguarded by properly built, well-insulated build- \ ings. Old buildings may be insulated : and made weatherproof by filling the space between the studs of frame buildings wih shavings-or mineral ~ wool. This can be done by removing a board near the ceiling or under the eaves. In some cases, mineral wool is blown in with an cngine-driven . blower, Stone, concycte, brick, or franie walls may be covered with ordinary plaster or with a Portland cement plaster. This would be par- ticularly suitable for dairy -barns, milk houses, and other places where sanitation is very important. = Caution "Can ye tell the difference be- tween a taxi and a tram car, Jes- ie?" . "No Tam." . "Weel, then, we'll take a tram." ada's Sports -- An d By FRANK MANN HARRIS ("A Sixbit Critic") One Thing or Another We never expected to live to sce the day! A new manager was recently hired by The Toronto Maple Leafs basehall team--and on his first 'meeting with the as- ,sembled respresentatifes of the Press almost knocked them off their seats by coming out with the breath-taking statement, "I'm not promising anything' for next sea- son." This, coming from any sports manager, would be surprising enough. But from a Toronto base- ball leader, it is equivalent to eith- er Vishinsky or Gramyko saying "Yes" three times in a row. * . . For years past Toronto baseball fans have been living on promises. Real gluttons for punishment, they have supported--not lavishly, but "a lot bettér than they deserved-- teams that were seldom anything except painful to watch. Then the usual routine was something like this--First, fire the old. manager; --Second, hire a new one; and Third,--have the latter make the breath - taking announcement that' we were going to have a scrappy, fighting - team to root for--next year, * * , Then, 'next' year--the same old thing. Big crowds to greet the new outfit--loud ballyhoo -- and then, after a couple of weeks or months, the realization that while the faces might be new, the quality, or lack of it, was about the same as ever. Now arrives a new manager, Ed Sawyer, who comes out flatfooted and says "I'm not promising any- thing." Even if it gets him black- balled by the Managers' guild, his words deserve to be: put in" Neons over the entrance to the Ball Park. Even if he doesn't happen to get anywhere with the team--which is a pretty hard thing to do with the peculiar Toronto setup--he's going on the sound horse-racing precept that, if you go to the races flat.broke, the worst you can get is an even break. iE * * One of the profoundest sayings regarding present-day life was made by a man not ordinarily upon as a deep-thinker 'or philoso- pher. It was + Jimmy "Durante's "Everybody wants to get into the act"--and it pretty well sums up a publicity-conscious generation regards "getting your picture in the paper" as the height of felicity. Ex- amples of this widespread love for "mugging" in front of a camera are so numerous that we will mention only one. It was a picture taken al the scene of a particularly brutal récent murder--and of eight fairly promin- ent people facing the camera, only ' fwo, or at the oiwside three, had Eh : Jasper Beaver to Britain--En route to England as part of Can- i donation toward the replenishment of Britain's 7003, . these beaver took along their-own supply of hardtack.

That is a question which faces ma- nagers and coaches occasionally, and there doesn't seem to be any really satisfactory answer--outside of "It all depends." 3 * * * ' "Football is perhaps the worst of all sports in this regard; - for while a 40 too beating in football is actually not much more one- sided than 7-0 baseball or hockey, it looks that way. And ave thought "that the University of Toronto Blues were to be criticized when, during a pre-season trip to the west, they ran up terrific: scores \0n teams that were helpless against their greater power and experience. * * . But when we said something .of the sort, at the time, it was a U. of T. undergraduate who gave us a clue to the reason. "Those guys know that when the real shooting starts, Western Univer- sity Mustangs will wipe the earth with them--so they're getting re- venge for those coming shellack- ings by taking it out on those poor teams rout in Saskatchewan and Alberta, * * * Maybe he was right, at that; for it is a long time since we have seen any outfit dominate the op- position as those Mustangs seemed 'to do the past couple of seasons or so--and still longer since we have known teams to go on the field apparently satisfied that they whistle as the young gentlemen representing Varsity, Queens and old McGill. The "old. College spirit" --like a lot of other spirits --seems to be suffering from a bit too much dilution. * * . Talk to school teachers anywhere, and they'll tell you that their task has become harder of recent years because of the lessened control they have over their pupils. They always put the blame for it, too, on the parents -- the trustees -- on anybody and cverybody but themselves. And who are we to argue with a school teacher! * * . . Then, just when we had about come to the conclusion that a school teacher's lot is not a happy Seventy Years Only Want. to live to 140? You may, say. leading scientists who believe that man't natural span of life ac- tually is from 120 to 140 years, says The Encyclopedia Americ- ana. Politman,® surgeon who lived from 1685 to 1825, dying at '140, would bécome intoxicated nightly, Brawn, a hard-drinking Irishman 'who lived to 120, had an inscrip- inng "he was always drunk." Ex- cessive smokers and coffee drink- ers are also found among the cen- tenarians. Rosy, who won a 'long- _evity prize in 1896 when he turned "104, was an inveterate smoker, A Mme.- Lazennac, who died at 104, smoked a pipe since her youth, Elizabeth Durieux, who lived - to 114, drank 40 cups of coffee every "day. Dr. Voronoff warns that no - { one should conclude from such #| examples 'that abuses of alcohol, "tobacco 'or coffee have no prejudi- cial influence on health, The ill ef- fects of overindulgence.are too well _ known, but these few examples arc cited merely to prove that the secret of longevity cannot be found in sobriety, Magistrate: "But why did you break into this draper's shop four nights running?"
