The greater handi icap was the shortage of drinking v.ater in the entire flooded area Yon can not realize how much oi miss good water. Most peoph not able to wash or able to have a bath for two weeks. Then, too. tot cooking and washing dishes only a meagre amount was available. It was like being ship-wrecked on a desert isle. Water everywhere, but not a drop to drink. In one small town of six hundred] homes were lifted up from the foundations and washed down the river. Others were toppled over on the side, or even on the roof. It is a common sight to see several smaller homes,, washed up together on a farm, miles away from the origia&l location ^-- The oil from the many reflnerie/ in this oil producing district, floated on the water. Where it did not catch fire and burn, it left a band about' ten inches wide at the height of the floods in many places. Your women folk can imagine how hard it will be to clean this black, greasy, sticky sulm out of china closets, bookcases, pantry shelves and beds. It floated on the top of the waters and got into everything. -Oven-stuffed furniture and pianos are completely ruined,-- beyond salvation.

In the current year, air-conditioning equipment will be added to 136 cars, including standard sleepers, dining cars, tourist sleepers, parlor cars, and day coaches, and these, in addition to the 130 cars air-conditioned in 1936, will permit a very considerable extension of air-conditioned services throughout the Dominion. Provision is made by the 1&37 programme to provide air-conditioned dining cars on all trains carrying air-conditioned sleepers pajlcjr cars, besides additional sleeping and parlor cars for use on trains between Montreal and Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa, Toronto and Ottawa, and trains 39 and 40 between Montreal and Saint John, KB. Air-conditioning of tourist cars for use on the transcontinental trains between Vancouver and Montreal and Toronto is a new and interesting feature of the 1937 programme. This will supplement last year's services which allowed air-conditioned standard sleepers, compartment-lounge, bedroom and parlor cars to be used on transcontinental trains between Montreal, Tor-ronto, and Vancouver; the Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Chicago services; and the night trains between Montreal and Boston. " Air- conditioned sleepers and loiag* cars were also provided, for to* "Mountaineer" service bet wee* Chicago, St Paul, and Vancouver Some idea of the work conies*, ed with air-conditioning is gives by the pictures above. Cars are stripped, as in lower right, and insulated to keep out heat, cold, and dust. The pictures at the left show some of the material being placed in the cars. The satisfaction written all over the face of the youog lady, in "Lower 5," expresses the public's feelings toward this new type of control-led comfort la the centre is a close-up of the control equipment, by which, as the arrows indicate, the individual can regulate the volume and direction of the flow feet deep.
