Manchester Man Runs Into House North of Prospect A gaping hole was torn in the side of a house en No. 12.

His wife, he said, had left the dining room only. a few. minutes before the 'car struck. The 'ear struck the south wall of the house, demolished the ver- anda, and, pushed a table before it, came to rest against the opposite in- side wall of the dining room, leaving]. . the room and the furniture nothing more than a heap of debris. Although badly shaken, nobody in the house was injured. The driver of the car, however, was unconscious for some time after the accident, and was removed to Port Perry Hospital, with multiple injuries. Lost in the commotion which follow- ed the mishap, was a black pup, which was in the Harrison car at the time of the collision.

Letter Received. hy Michael Starr, M. 3 : "Ottawa, Sept. 12th, 1056 I am pleased ito inform you of re- cent approval of "a hew Federal grant to assist In constructing an ad- dition to the Community Memorial Hospital at Port Perry, under the pro- visions of the Orders-in- -Coupeil gov- erning hospital construction grants. "Federal aid is paid in installments depending on the rate at which con. struction is carried out. The last in- stallment is payable when the addi- tional facilities are completed and in operation, For the Port Perry pro- ject the total Federal grant will bel approximately $1608.00. - I truss that this contribution on the part of the Federal Government will aid in insuring more adequate hospital facilities for the people of your con- stitueney, HON. PAUL MARTIN, Minister of National Health, and Welfare. We understand this money will be used to rebuild the chimney and the Sewage Disposal Plant. We Visited the Idea Home : "Better Homes and Gardens" have caused the building of a number of homes across the continent to show the public what can be achieved in home comfort and beauty. One of these houses has been con- structed in Oshawa's Brookside acres development by the McCullough Con- struction Co. Ltd. and is now open to the public for inspection. We availed ourselves of the opportunity to look and found many interesting features: There were so many items worthy of interest pointed out that we feel we cannot mention them all but some of the ones that seem specially note- worthy to us are these-- | _ First thing we noted was the great amount of glass used--entire walls of some rooms were windows. One fea- ture of these windows were the low- ered section which can be opened or closed with the turn of a handle. Below the windows the baseboard heating panel--a very®new idea--re- placed the ugly radiators and does not cut down on window length. The built in door mat--so arranged that the rug surface is flush with the floor. surface looks a good idea, as it keeps the sand and dirt right there. The closet space was nicely planned. At the front door the sliding panels give an air of sophistication to the hall space and the built in counter with mirror add more to the charm, Closet space in bedrooms was also well thought out and the sliding doors in each case do much to save on room space and add beauty too. Colours throughout the home were planned to harmonize and lend an at- mosphere of quietness to the rooms. The paint job was a 'special feature, especially. in the kitchen where cup- boards had a glass like finish. The copper tile above the kitchen counters is worthy af note, as too the doors and drawers without handles or knobs. One thing intrigued me more than all else--the linen closet. This was so arranged as to be a divider be- tween hall passage to bed rooms and the laundry. In this was storage space available to. both the laundry and to the bed rooms. Ample pro- vision was made for soiled clothing, easily disposed of in the hall passage, easier still to pick up on the laundry side. Sheets, towels, etc., etc. are placed right where they belong as soon as folded. Another interesting feature and a thing everyone would appreciate--the master switch which turns off all the lights in the house--one of these 1s located in the master bedrodm and another is located in the garage. All in all" if you are considering building--or just plain interested in homes, you should make a point of inspecting this lovely house. - ATTENTION!

Iforty-nine by 45 inches in size; the map is printed in eight vivid, natural- istic colors on heavy vinylite plastic, Then it is formed under heat and pres- sure to depict mountains, valleys and drainage patterns in clear relief. © Mt.

Its vertical exaggeration, - to emphasize relief features, is 20 to 1. Weight of map is only 2 pounds, com- pared with over 200 pounds for con- ventional plaster relief models of com- parable size.

Much new information is in- cluded: new data on land use; new facts about the Canadian Arctic shore- lines and new settlements there; cor- rected positions for certain island grroups in the Far North. . Canadian Aero. Service Limited was aided by the Department of Mines and Resources, which provided important sourse data. Assistance was given also by the office of the Surveyor General and by the Army Survey Establishment. The map may be marked with a wax erayon or china marking pencil without damage to the surface, and markings, dust or finger- prints wine off the coated map casily. The map's 3,000 names includes 1500 place names, about 1000 names of streams, lakes and other water bodies, plus about 500 points, capes, islands and peninsulas, as well as mountain ranges and peaks. and watersheds known to early ex- plorers are clearly shown in relief. Over 300 "spot elevations' are shown, listing mountain heights and other Ler rain on the map by the Geographical Branch and Topographical Division of the Department of Mines and Techni- cal Surveys.
