How often--and how nonchalant- ly -- has your husband said this to you? But how nonchalant would he be if you greeted him one day with "Sorry, dear, we won't have the bathroom for a few days, it's getting its annual overhaul." Yes, it's strange how most people while they are reasonably careful about the maintenance of their cars, radios and other mechanical appliances, seem tg take for grant- ed the most important mechanical i [equipment in the home. ..the plumbing system. GIVES LITTLE TROUBLE Perhaps it's because modern plumbing gives so little trouble that people take so little care to keep it in good condition. Yet it is no exaggeration to say that the "| Dlaaotag system is the very life- blood of the home, bringing into |it fresh water, supplying clean, hot | water when needed, circulating hot | water or steam through the house to keep it warm, and carrying away from the home all those poisonous wastes which, unless adequately disposed of, could cause untold harm through dirt and dis- ease. Of course it isn't necessary to |put your ktchen or bathroom out |of commission for several days on end to have them overhauled. For- | tunately for the modern housewife, most adjustments on the plumbing system can be carried out without interrupting the service they give. It's only when a major fault needs correction that the household is in- convenienced in this way. |TO AVOID BREAKDOWNS | And major breakdowns can be |avoided very simply by giving the {plumbing system the same atten- ition you would your car; by hav- |ing it periodically checked over by a qualified plumber in the same | and blue- | Systems Should Be Checked way you have the car serviced by qualified mechanics. ] Don't forget, you have a big in- vestment in your plumbing sys- tem. Properly protected, it will give the best return, dollar for dol- lar, of any investment you ever made, Neglected, it can not only cause plenty of trouble and expense but it can bring down the value of your house very rapidly. Noth- ing will make a house "obsoles- cent' faster than neglected plumb- ing fixtures. Here are just a few of the things suggested by the Canadian Insti tute of Plumbing and Heating that you, yourself can do to keep your plumbing system in good order, and prevent deterioration in ap- pearance. ; First, remember that the word vitreous comes from the Latin word Vitreus, meaning like. In osh- er words, your vitreous enamel fixtures are cast iron or steel ed with glass. AVOID HARSH ABRASIVES They should be treated as such. Avoid scrubbing or scouring sinks, baths or lavatories with harsh ab- rasives. Normal household stains can be easily removed with mod- ern, non-scratch cleansers. Be cre- ful with heavy pots and pails. A hard or sharp-edged object dop- ped or banged against the enamel- led surface may mar its appear- ance irreparably. Once a plumbing fixture has been defaced or damaged it is impos- sible to restore its original beauty, no matter what cleaning or polish- jing or repairs are done to it. A dripping faucet will discolour a basin, and when this happens there's practically nothing you can |do about it. The trick is to catch |it before there is serious discolora- |tion, clean the enamel immediate- {ly and have the dripping tap fixed. Better still, have a modern SEPTIC 600-Gallon Tank - o PRE-CAST . 300-Gallon Tank - Above Prices Include Delivery end Installation. Prices and Specifications for Larger Tanks Furnished on Request.

They are specially designed and guaran- teed never to drip in any circum- stances. . When your Jumblog fixtures were installed, they were properly levelled so that water would read- ily run down to the drain opening. But houses "settle" and the angle of the fixture may alter so that little pools of water are left after | draining. Here again, damaging discolour- ation can take place, and rob you of that gleaming white fixture you are so proud of. So have the levels of your fixtures checked at the same time as the system is having its check-up. JOINTS MAY FAIL If you find stains or moisture at the point where the water closet stands on the floor, it's a warning that the joint between the closet and the soil pipe has failed. If you don't have it reset at once, it may rot the floor structure, damage plaster of the ceiling be- low or even allow sewer gas leak- age into the house. Any of these is a serious problem, well worth | a little trouble to prevent. Finally, keep an eye out for "tell-tale brass" on faucets and plated metal fixtures. When brass {begins to peek through the plat- ing, obsolescence has already set n. It calls for ope of two things. Either the fixtures should be re- plated to bring back their original Cl AJAX LUMBER CO. HICKORY ST. WHITBY brilliance. Or perhaps the app ance of brass is a warning that the fixture has served you well for many a year, but now needs a new, more functional and more at- tractively designed fixure to re- place it. . Neglected plumbing can cost you money and speed the obsolescence {of your home. Proper care can | keep your house young and beauti-| { ful, make it a place you are happy |to live in, and protect the invest- ment you made in it. Wild Charges Old Stuff To Conacher TORONTO (CP) -- Lionel Cona- cher Thursday night was chosen Liberal candidate for Toronto Trin- ity in the next federal election at a stormy nomination meeting. Mr. Conacher voted Canada's athlete of the half-century, is the present member of the riding in the Com- mons. After 90 minutes of charges at a packed meeting, punctuated by thunder and lightning, Mr. Cona-| cher was nominated over two other | candidates. | He received 229 votes against 39 | for Hugh Plaxton, who represented the riding from 1935 to 1939, and two for Fred Hamilton, former Toronto controller. Both Mr. Plaxton and Mr. Ham- ilton charged that the meeting was packed with supporters for Mr. Conacher and that credentials for delegates had not been handled properly. Chairman Douglas McNish said the credentials were mailed by a | person "'above reproach." SAVE MONEY NOW!
