The haul included 7 windows, 6 doors, some roofing, 6 screens and a quanity of new bricks from a con- tractor who had them left over from a job. "All children should be sure to haye their boxes of papers ready to seal in the cement blocks by no later than Friday," Herb Merry said The shelter still could use do- nation: of second-hand equip- ment, so anyone haying them to spare should contact Mr. Merry at 1151-W. Required are: 3 inside doors, garage doors, wash basin and kitchen sink and toilet, and a small septic tank, Copper's Penny For Parker's Thoughts When a well-known Oakville lady parked her car downtown one day last week and looked in her purse for a cent to put in the parking meter, she found, to her horror, that she'd left all her money at home. Where could she borrow a copper for the meter? Looking around, she suddenly had an inspiration. She walked straight into the nearby town police office and asked the officer on duty for the small loan. He obliged wil- lingly enough, but with much good-natured laughter at the lady's expense, in which she joined. Jarvis & Ryri J. F.

Is there free and unob- structed passage through the room? If one has to dodge and dart to get from one end of a room to the other, the arrangement is poor and can contribute to a feel- ing of being walled in. Another common fault is poor grouping-- arrange your furniture so that the greatest encouragement is given to easy conversation--this is known as the conversational grouping. How Another important feature to watch for in a room is line. Ex- amine your furniture carefully. Are there too many straight lines, or too many curves? An excess of either can ruin a room's. effect. Too many straight lines, often found in a room full of modern furniture, will be uninteresting. Too many curves, reminiscent of the Victorian era, will be tiring and disturbing. Oval and rectan- gular forms have been proven to be more pleasing to the human eye than square and circular shapes. Watch Pattern Another point to watch is--pat- tern. Whilst you may decry the plainness apparent in many so: called "modern" decors, do not make the mistake of utilizing too much pattern, as this can create a busy, tiring room. The height of your furniture, too, should be varied--it shouldn't be all tall nor all squat Vertical and hor- izontal lines should be interming- led to create a well-planned bal- ance. A contrast of texture is easy to achieve and adds Interest There should be materials of both smooth weave and of rough weave; of dull and of shiny fin- ish. Don't Be Color Shy The fact is though that the fault you may ferret out in your own home is probably not. line, nor arrangement but COLOR. After the brilliance of summer flowers and the glory of an Oak- ville autumn, your interior fur- nishings are liable to look drab. Don't be afraid to use interior color. Research has proven that the majority of women have an instinctive feel for color and its correct use. A quick glance around, however, will prove that the majority of us use no such instinct in our homes--drabness is almost a by-word. Yet it costs no more to decor- ate in the right real hues than in the wrong dull ones, and never before were homemakers pre- sented with such a choice of col- or in all fields of decoration. Floor coverings available in an increas- ing range of hues; fabries var- fed and beautiful enough to take one's breath _away; and wall coatings to please every taste and purse, There are paints that provide an extremely dull or very shiny finish, depending on your choice furniture arrange- FROM YOUR COLOR COUNSELOR --RUTH D.

She said that Australia may be the next country to get socialized medicine. A typographical error in a large Toronto daily newspaper's account of Dr. Meredith's talk, caused not a few titters among readers: "we Australians are proud that our in- fant morality rate is the lowest in the world," Dr. Meredith declared.
