FACTORY-BUILT HOMES FOR CANADIANS AT LOW COST Canada's first factory-built homes ~-low. cost, permanent structures of modern design produced at the rate of six a day, using an assembly line technique borrowed from the automotive and aircraft industries--will be available within a few months, it was announced recently by Faircraft Industries Limited. H. M. Pasmore, President of Fair-craft Industries, made the announcement on behalf of the new subsidary of Fairchild Aircraft Limited, revealed that construction of a large number of the homes had been auth orized by C. D. Howe, Minister of ^Reconstruction, after study of the project by Dr. W. C. Clark, Deputy Minister of Finance, F. W. Nicholls, Director of the Dominion Housing Act, and C. J. Mackenzie, President of the National Research Council. A four-room, single storey cottage, 25 ft. x 30 ft. and insulated to withstand the rigors of Canadian weather, this new post-war type of home will be built at the aircraft plant at Lon-gueil, which until recently was turning out Curtis Hell Divers for use by the United States Navy in the Pacific war theatre.

THOMPSETT A reception was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Simpson Iriday evening, June 22nd, 1945, for Pte. George Thompsett and Mrs. Thompsett, an English girl, whom he married while overseas, and with their two children, arrived recently from England. Many beautiful and useful gift; were presented and a pleasant evening spent. The following address was read by Mr. Robert Blyth. Friends, I have been asked to say a.few words on behalf of the peopli of Salem and district, to George and his wife, who lately arrived in Canada from England. I am sure you will all join me in wishing them every happiness and prosperity in their new home. George saw much service overseas and has done his full share, like many of the local boys, to win the war. He saw service in the Old Country, France ,Sicilay and Italy, from here he was invalided home and came back here to Mr. and Simpson, where he practically made his home before the war and we all got to know him very well. It will not be so very long now until nearly all the boys are back again, and I am sure they will be giad to meet old friends and to know that their efforts in their behalf are cations as the original conception of I appreciated by the folks at home, the first low cost-automobile, is the | The least we can do is give them a new Faircraft Home, a single unit of j warm welcome and try our best to which with standard equipment will! make this country a good place for sell for $3,300 F.O.B. factory, and ' them to come back to. can be bought under the National!

The Canadian Legion has provided you, while overseas, with educational courses to enable you to prepare yourself for the day when you return to civies. It has helped to keep up morale with sports, entertainment and comforts. The Canadian Legion, throughout its many branches across the Dominion, is ready to welcome you within its folds on your return. The Canadian Legion invites you to become an active member of this Branch, to attend the meetings, join the discussions, enjoy the hospitality of the club, and join your fellow-members in furthering the Legion's services to veterans on the home front and to the boys who are still fighting overseas. To the New Veterans who have joined, the Canadian Legion invites you to prepare yourself to take up the torch handed you by the veterans of 1914-18.--From Ottawa Branch No. 16 Monthly Bulletin. VIOLET RAY LAMPS home can be loaded onto a truck trailer or flat car in a package 30 ft. x 10 ft. x 8 ft. high. On delivery to the home site it can be made ready for occupancy in a few hours. "And when I say 'made ready for occupancy in a few hours'," said Mr. ^^aanwe when making the •anrtoime°-»>»»t, '• i mean it. The complete bathroom and the kitchen plumbing are installed and tested before the house leaves the factory. All electrical j wiring and fixtures are installed and { tested, all painting both exterior and I interior is completed ,and linoleum is . laid on the floors. This is not a jerry- j built house. The design is modern i and attractive and it may be added to j as the family grows. It can be heated i and" maintained with a minimum of effort and expense." The only work required on the site '• of the new home will be the prepara-1 tion of the foundation, the setting up j of the home, and the connection of j water, sewage and electrical services. \ The home as it comes off the truck j can be complete with furnace, kitchen | stove and refrigerator if the owner j desires. It is expected to fill a long-felt need in mining areas and con-i struction projects where housing is | needed but where the services of skilled carpenters, plumbers, electricians, etc., are practicablly unobtainable. The new-type home differs from the general idea of "pre-fabricated" ! houses in that a greater amount than ever before of the building and fin- j ishing work is done right in the fac- j tory. Faircraft engineers devoted con- j siderable time and study to the prob-1 lem of fitting it to Canadian condi-tions, and only after long and ex- j haustive experiments with the cooperation of the National Research j Grades XI, XII and XIII will Council was it aproved for -construe- published later, tion after its capacity for withstanding climatic conditions in Canada had been conclusively proven. "Since the Faircraft Home is entirely built in the factory," commented Mr. Passmore, "assembly-line technique is applied to all phases of construction. Factory construction, in addition to low cost, permits supervi-l of every detail which results Canadians.

This ward, originally designed for sixty small patients, now houses from eighty to one hundred babies. Though this overcrowding imposes problems, on ,the staff, tl ceive execllent care. Not only they cured of their varied troubles but research is constantly going forward in the prevention of further disease. The story of the use of ultraviolet light barriers in the premature babies' ward is one of the most interesting in the Hospital's history These barriers make each baby's cubicle 95 per cent germ free. A premature baby is placed in an enclosed ward reserved for such cases. Every possible precaution is taken, for a cold would be a grave danger. No nurse with a sniffle is allowed near them. A special type of cloth mask, developed at the Hospital, is worn by everyone handling the babies. The best antiseptic fluid is used by the nurses for frequent hand washings. Even these precautions are not enough. Experiments were made to see if ultraviolet lamps could kill germs floating about in the air. A special room was set up in the laboratory, and many tests were made with harmless germs and a germ-counting aparatus. When all the facts were ready, the hospital architect remodeled part of the Baby Ward. This was an expensive business, but the cost was not important when it me; of tiny lives. A record THE WAYSIDE CHURCH Our Text-- 'The Sabbath v Our Verse-- "Now really this appears Of putting too much Sabbath into Sunday, But tell me what is your opinion Mrs. Grundy."--Hood. Our Sermon-- "Putting too much Sabbath into Sunday" might have been a fault of Mr. Hood's day, it certainly isn't one of our weaknesses. Granted, argued, that a man doesn't have to go to Church to be a Christian, rather think that is rot why any of us*%o. The Sabbath was made for man--to use for the glory and worship of God and his own spiritual good. The Sabbath was not made for man to do as he pleases in, that is a traversty of the teaching of Christ. It was made to worship God in, and I can only say with all the centuries of religious experience to confirm it, there is no place where this can be more consciously done than in that House "where friend holds fellowship with friend" and "every thought is turned to God." Let us make sure when we use these words of Jesus to authorize our particular use of the Sabbath. |hat we are meaning what He meant by them. Let us use it to deepen our own sense of the Divine and the irnal, to quicken our consciousness the Presence of God. Let it be a of the Lord as all our days mid be." !Why do you Keep Sunday so re-lously?" a friend asked Mr. Glad-ie, "mainly because it Is easier to the rest of the week well when l^io" was the answer. "Oh naught of gloom and naught .Should ill the sacred hours abide; At work for God in loved "employ We lose the duty in the joy." --Punshon. Our Prayer-- Give us the wisdom and the will oh Lord to use each day to Thy glory and the good of others, and may we use the Sabbath that Thou has made for our using for the Highest, Holiest end of Divine Communion and Human Service in Christ. Amen. the next three winters of all babies who were admitted to this ultraviolet equipped room.. The same nurses looked after the babies in an ordinary room and the records were compared. It was a real thrill when the Research Staff realized that the use of the ultraviolet lamps cut the number of colds in half. Right now the Hospital for Sick Children is appealing to the people of Ontario for volunteer contributions to the $6,000,000 Building Fund. It is a provincial appeal because out of every three patients comes from outside the City of Toronto, and there is a constant waiting list of 200 children. The new Hospital for Sick Children will provide ample quarters for all sick babies, and ultraviolet i saving I equipment will be installed in all kept for 1 the Infant's Wards.

PREVENT FLIES FROM CONTAMINATING FOOD With the coming of warm weather house flies will be swarming from manure and refuse piles to the house, carrying disease. House flies breed in filth, particlW of which adhere to their bodies. They deposit this filth and the germs in it wherever they alight, on dishes, on food and on the face of a sleeping child. Yet many people disregard this menace to the health of their families and make only half-hearted attempts to keep flies out of the home. The farm homes most successful in preventing the entrance of house flies are those which pay attention to limiting the breeding grounds of this insect. Farmers, alert to the danger of the house fly, burn household garbage regularly and dispose of manure. While this cleanliness reduces the number of flies on the farm, it still does not dispose of all of them. For this reason, the Dominion Department of Agriculture recommends that doors and windows should be screened and flies that find their way into the home should be promptly destroyed by fly swatters, sticky paper, poison fly pads and sprays.
