When they're all fin- ished Canada will have about 1600 'theatres in all. About a third of them are located in "Ontario. The biggest -- the new Odcon in Tor- onto -- will have a restaurant on the mezzanine floor; a permanent gallery exhibiting paintings by' Canadian artists; a reserved seat section accomodating 300; numer= ous cloak rooms; an electric ¢le- vator for carrying films from the street level to projection room; and I don't know what all else.

If the spots are slight, they ma be removed simply by rubbing ohh camphorated oil or oil of pepper- y nfint. Or they may disappear when the surface of the furniture is wash-. ed with .a mixture. of 1 quart of > warm water; 8 tablespoons of boil- "ed linseéd oil, and 1 tablespoon of turpentine; then dried with a soft dry cloth, and rubbed with furniture polish. For more severe white spots-- those that are old or very deep-- an abrasive may be nceded as Well as oil. 'One mixture that may be used for removing them Is salt and salad oil.
