ANSWER: For good paint ad- hesion, the tile surface will have to be roughened with an electric sander, or with sandpaper, and plenty of "elbow grease'. Then, for wall tile, apply a top quality enamel undercoater and enam- el; for floor tile, apply top qual- ity floor or deck enamel, ac- any paint or other material that) |cording to manufacturer's direc- tions on the container. Usually good results are so difficult that \the job is not worth attempting. Another layer of tile can be attempted over the ceramic tile, \following the tile manufactur- er's installation directions care- ifully. Not always successful, |though frequently the results jare quite satisfactory. CLEANING OIL PAINTING QUESTION: We have a large oil painting that has been hang- ing over our fireplace for quite a few years and badly needs cleaning now, How can we do this without harming the paint- ing? ANSWER: If this is a valu- able painting, I strongly urge having the cleaning done by a professional. Before starting to' clean the painting, wipe an ob- secure corner with a damp cloth to see whether it will resist water. If the color comes off, don't attempt the job yourself, Use a pure, mild, neutral soap, taking it up on a slightly moist cloth or sponge, rubbing gently on the painting in a circular mo- tion. When the entire surface has been covered, take up the soap and dirt with a soft, clean cloth, or sponge wet with clear, tepid water. When the painting is clean, shake off any remain- ing water, don't wipe it off. Then stand the painting at an angle in a warm, airy place to dry naturally. Directing an an electric fan at the painting will speed up the drying. Wilh) | WW tee paration.

This 6-room home is owned by Mr. and Mrs. R. Lawson of Islington, Ontario. In his own words, here's what Mr. Lawson has to say about the cost of electric heating: **In the overall cost there just isn't any comparison. We found the heating costs to be quite reasonable--$215 last year and even less this year. It's quiet and clean--to me these are plusses. It's just a case of the most efficient type of heating and the least expensive."- Electrically-heated homes insulated to Hydro standards cost no more to heat than homes with other systems. In fact, in many areas in Ontario it actually costs less to heat a home electrically. AND LOOK AT THE COMFORT ADVANTAGES YOU ENJOY Flameless electric heating is the cleanest heating possible. Since it doesn't burn fuel, it cannot possibly createdust, smoke or dirt. With electric heating you can have a differ- * ent temperature in every room because you can have a thermostat in every room. You enjoy even, comfortable, healthful warmth --always. Consider the extra living space you gain with electric heating because it needs no furnace... no bulky fuel storage tanks! Maintenance is eliminated. Annual clean- ing and inspection are not needed. No dirt is created and there are no filters to clean or replace. Electric heating is the most carefree heating system of all. With all its advantages, is it any wonder so many people throughout Ontario are turn- ing to electric heating for the comfort, convenience, and economy they want in a heating system. ELECTRIC HEATING FOR YOUR PRESENT HOME If you are planning home extensions or if parts of your home are not now properly heated, you can install supplementary electric heating for less than it 'costs to extend your present heating system. Electric heating is one of the many comfort features of the famous Medallion all-electric homes.
