It is used for interior walls, ceilings and partitions. As well as being fire-resistant, it has structural strength, insulation value and is draught and vermin-proof. Use Gyproc Joint Filler for sealing the joints between the tall, broad sheets of wallboard. When you are "doing over" any room in the house or adding new ones in the attic or basement, use Gyproc for walls and ceilings because you can nail it directly over the old surface. Gyproc is-also an excellent base for Alabastine, Gyptex or wallpaper. Gyproc is Canada's pioneer non-burning gypsum wallboard. Ask your nearest dealer for full details and a Gyproc direction sheet.

THE COLBORNE EXPRESS Pulp and Paper Prosperity Pulp and paper industries reflected a certain measure of recovery in the foreign and domestic market, employment throughout the year averaging higher than in the previous year. With only one exception the trend was favourable from month to month, and at the end of November the index was eleven per cent, higher than at the beginning of the year and- was also six points higher than on November 1, 1933. Employment in 1934 was generally higher in each of the three divisions of the group--pulp and paper, printing and publishing, and paper goods--than in the preceding year. SPRING TREATMENT OF LAWNS Results of experiments on lawn plots conducted by the Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, prove conclusively that necessary spring treatment of lawns should be done early. Rolling should be done as soon as the frost isi out of the ground. As soon as the surface is dry the lawn hould be thoroughly raked. A light top dressing of good soli put on and raked in. If any re-seeding is necessary a mixture of four parts Kentucky blue grass and one part Colonial Bent by weight with *4 ounce White Dutch clover added to every three pounds, is recommended. SPRING TIME AND FARM EQUIPMENT Warmer days will soon the approach of spring and suggest removing farm equipment from winter storage. Wagons and field machinery should he inspected to be certain that all are in working order. A general tightening up of loose boltta, straigthenlng of bent supports and hitches and replacement of worn-out parts will ensure smoother operating equipment and fewer delays rush of spring work.

Dennis 11 8th, 1935, after That the Colborne Express is owned by an individual. It is his property and he must pay the bills and assume all responsibilities. On the other hand, it is also true that somehow or other the public looks upon the community newspaper as being partly their property. The community expects its public institutions to be defended, to be favorably reported, to be kept in good report throughout the dstrict and the Province. Churches, societies and organizations look for and expect their activities to be reported in their home paper. And the home paper does all these things--likes to do them. This being so, it is only human that the owner of, and those who are employed at, the local newspaper office should expect that all these various interests would return the compliment through giving it printing orders. If all the printing requirements of this district were to be printed in Colborne, The Express would have to more than double its present staff.

Bear this in mind, and be governed in showering your plants by the peculiarities of their foliage. Transplanting--In putting plants in the garden, choose a cloudy day for it, if possible. Water well when you plar.t. Shade for a day or two, or till they begin to grow. Geraniums--Thesf. are hot weather plants': they like hot rooms: and steam heat, but they cannot be expected to produce many flowers unless they are placed in a sunny siouth window, free from curtains. They prefeT heavy soil and must be grown in pots too large, else they will not bloom so profusely. Cut them back each fall to make them bushy, otherwise they will fill too much window space. Good house plants of geraniums are obtained by taking slips in summer and growing the plants in pots until winter. Ferns--The less finely divided leaf sorts of Boston ferns are the most successful. Ferns generally do, not prefer the full sunshine and must be kept from cold drafts. The soil which suits them best is1 one derived from decayed soil or leaf mould. Ferns need abundance of water, but pooir drainage and "wet feet" should be avoided. Syringe the plants often if they are to be kept healthy.
