There'll be some cutting at the wall corners, and that must be taken into account in determin- ing the quantity required. Only the simplest tools are needed for the average ceiling tile installation. These include a carpenter's saw, a hammer, wallboard knife and a folding rule. A staple tacker is useful to speed the job, but the aver- age home-style staple gun won't do. You'll need one that can shoot staples with legs 9 16" or longer. You can rent the tacker at a local hardware: store. For adhesive installations, a broad putty knife will be needed. INSTALLATION OF NEW CEILINGS For new basement and attic rooms, the ceilings are framed out with 1" x 2" or 1" x 3" furring strips to which the tiles will be tacked or stapled. The furring need not be of quality lumber; the common or No. 2| grades will be adequate if the strips are not badly warped or twisted. The furring is nailed across the ceiling joist, spaced 12" or 16" apart on centres. Don't just start off 16" away from one wall, as you'll later find the opposite wall may take a strip spaced out just a couple of inches away. This means you'll have full-size tiles along the starting wall, and tiny scraps of tiles on the other. Rather, adjust the dimension so you equalize the size of tiles (and thus the starting distance for the first furring strip) on both sides. Also, check if he room is square, so your line jwill be straight across. Nail up the first strip with nails wherever it crosses a stud. An easy way to space the next strips so they are 12" apart on center is to make a spacer out of a scrap piece of board. Mark off 12", then subtract half the width of the furring, and cut the board to that size. Push the next furring strip against the spacer, nail at one end, do the same at the other end, then put in addi- tional nails at positions in be- tween. When the furring is up, start installing the tiles. Work from one wall out towards the other, (or from the center if your pre- fer) adding tile after tile in all directions as you go, rather than straight across and back again. The first tiles are cut so the tongues reach to the nearest fur- ring strip. Cut gently with a carpenter's saw, supporting the tiles so they won't break at the corners, While the tiles are quite delicate and can break when handled, they're sturdy enough to last indefinitely after they're installed. : Tack the first tile with several staples in the tongue. Then care- fully work the tongue of the ad- jacent tile into the side groove of the first tile. Here's where it's necessary to exercise some skill--that is to get the right pressure of one tile against an- other. They should fit snug--but not too tightly. Also, remember What's Typically German? 1,000 Answers All Differ By HANNS NEUERBOURG MUNICH (AP)--Gen. Charles de Gaulle once described the Germans as "born artists who have no taste whatsoever." Lenin referred to them as "silly people." Winston Churchill, in an oft - quoted aphorism, said "they are either at your throat or at your feet." And according to a less known aside by Adolf Hitler--a native Austrian--the Germans proved to be an inferior nation. What are the typical German features? That question has in- trigued diagnosticians since Ro- man historian Cornelius Tacitus wrote his De Origine et Situ Germanorum -- Of the Origin and the Location of the Ger mans--almost 1,900 years ago. Sweeping statements about Germany and the Germans are a dime a dozen today. Michael Schiff, a German, writer, has collected more than 1,000 mod- ern-age pronouncements on his countrymen and presented them in an anthology entitled Typisch to use a uniform amount of pres- sure on all the tiles, otherwise the dividing lines between them may go off course and become Deutsch--Typically German -- published by Moderne Verlags of Munich. The collection ranges from Kaiser Wilhelm II: "We are the salt of the earth," to Soviet writer Ilya Ehrenburg: "Fish- eyed idiots." STOPPED BY LAWN Here are some more as quoted in the book: George Bernard Shaw: 'The Germans have a mania to push things so far until they become evil things." : Joseph Stalin: "'Germany can have no revolution because you would have to step on the lawn to make it." Marlene Dietrich, German- born movie star: 'Germans are born to be soldiers, to subordi- nate themselves to discipline and to follow an_ all-powerful leader," Thomas Mann, German novel- ist, before he was expelled by the Hitler regime: 'The Ger- man people are decent people who like law and cleanliness." Adolf Hitler: Shortly before his suicide in 1945: "This (Ger- man) nation has proved to be too weak. Those who have sur- vived the mammoth battles must be classified as inferior." wavy. Too much pressure that 'orces the tiles tightly together| may also cause bulging of} 'oints. Some installers prefer to start at the center of the room.

Franz Kafka, Prague - born Richardson III, Fight Postponed SYDNEY (CP) -- The Cana- dian middleweight title fight between champion Blair Rich- ardson of South Bar, N.S., and challenger Jimmy Meilleur of Windsor, Ont., has been post- poned indefinitely, promoter Gussie MacLellan announced Wednesday night. MacLellan said Richardson suffered an attack of influenza while training in Boston Tues- day and doctors had advised against the Saturday fight in nearby Glace Bay. He said he was attempting to get both camps together to agree on a two-week postponement but no decision was expected until at least today. Jewish author: "Jews and Gers mans have much in common. They are industrious, efficient, diligent and thoroughly hated by others. Jews and Germans are outcasts."

Nearly all are interchangeable Remove the screw or screws holding the wall cover plate. Then take out the two flathead screws (one top and _ bottom) holding the switch in the metal wall box. Now pull the switch forward so it clears the box. The stiff wires will hold the switch away from the box. Touch the test bulb wires to the terminal screws. If the bulb lights, try different fuses until you find the right one to disconnect the line. Loosen the switch terminal screws all the way to remove the connecting wires. There may be two, three, or four wires, in black, red, or white color. The In the same electrical wall box, so when replacing a_ switch, that's the time to switch to a more modern style. You may éelect the luminous type that glows in the dark, or one that goes on or off just with a light tap, or the dimmer switches which permit a full range of the room illumination, from bright- fess to a soft glow. Why do switches go bad? Some work almost indefinitely, others become defective very quickly. There are two reasons: quality of the switch mecha- nism, and electrical load abuse. Good quality switches have fast- moving contact arms and good contact pressure to minimize arcing (sparking). In cheap switches, the contact surfaces may be uneven so they barely touch, and the parts move slug- gishly, allowing the current to jump across the terminal points. When this happens, the copper contacts become burnt and pit- ted, eventually fail to function at all. Switches are rated for maximum load, usually 10 am- peres. A high - current appli- ances, such as a toaster or iron, will quickly burn out a switch. Switches manufactured to as- sociation specifications and tated with a "T" symbol will far outlast those which are made for the competitive pree market.

A vertical switch is placed so the "on" side of the toggle is up- ward; a switch that moves side to side is placed so that the "on" position is away from the person's usual position when Standing in front of it. When connecting the wires, first loosen the terminal screws as far as they can go. Bend the exposed wire ends with the pliers into a tight curve so they slip around the screws without any excess wire sticking out. If the wire end is too long, clip off the needed amount for a neat fit, leaving enough for the screw to hold it firmly. Tighten the screws as far as you can--this is important both to assure that the wire won't come loose and for firm contact so there will or the 3-way or 4-way type (with three or four wires connected to not be any arcing that could burn the wire insulation.
