PHONRB 1l3w FLETCHBR JOHNSTON, BDITOR SUBSCRIPTION RATB - $1.00 A YBAR Stratford, February 24, 1928 A SIMILAR SCHEME MIGHT WORK HERE The Board of Trade of Louisville, Ken., launched an agitation some already done much towards the bring- ing of a new industry to the city. At the time of writing $12,000 had been subscribed, and selling of anoth- er similar amount to that will be sufficient to establish the Rubber Co. in our city. It is anticipated that the company will employ at least 25 men at the start. Should this industry locate here they will probably take the G. L. Griffith & Sons factory and if so Federal A GOOD MENU Instead of plain baked apples or the prosaic apple sauce most families welcome apple dumplings occasional- ly. They are heavy dessert and can be made to supplement a light meal. Considerable time is required to prepare them, but many housewives find them as easy to make as a dessert which takes but a half hour or so to make. ing powder, four tablespoons fat, twe -- thirds cup milk, one teaspoon salt, six medium sized apples, six table -- spoons sugar ,six cinnamon. teaspoons butter, Mix flour, baking powder | and salt, sift together.

Add one tablespoon 4 the Griffith concern will likely move of sugar, one teaspoon of butter and eae LUNCH to the building formerly occupied by applicable to years ago to convince the city that all was not well with its economic | life. In other words it was decided | that more industries must be secured. | it did not go in for aimless boost-| ing but proposed that a million dol- lars be raised by popular subscrip- tion to establish an Industria] Foun- dation to lure to Louisville the exact type of industrial enterprises which Louisville needed most. A litite more than a million was actually subscribed, to be ten semi-annual payments. Three | thousand individuals and organiza-| tions that participated received noth- | ing in return except "stock" in the| Louisville Industrial Foundation, stock that could pay no dividends. The Foundation, under the articles of in- corporation, could make no profits. More than $874,000 was eventually paid in, and no additional subscrip- tions have yet been called for. This fund has been working for eleven years now; and although it suffered serious losses during its experimental years, it is now practically intact and bids fair to increase as the years go by. There were more than 5,500 vacant houses in the city in 1921. Now, ina single year, accommodaitons for 4,- 600 new families are being built. Three hundred new industries have located in Louisville, sixty of them directly sponsored and aided by the Louisville Industrial Foundation. True, there is more noise than there used to be. There is an awful lot of riveting, for instance, with$11- 600,000 going into new buildings in just four months. The Foundation discovered that it is not wise to lure an industry from anywhere unless there are sound economic reasons why it should locate in Louisville. Eventually, then, the Foundation became much more than a boosting movement; it became a dis- passionate industrial counsellor, look- ing into the specific needs of every industry seeking location and going over with its representatives all the pros and cons of Jocating in Louisville. i paid in STRATFORD BOARD OF TRADE MAY PROVE LIVE ORGANIZATION The canvassing committee appoint- ed by the Board of Trade comprising of Ald Graff, the chairman of the In- _ dustrial Committee of the City Coun- il; Tom Brown and L.

Its history is as old as the history of the race, going back to the days when fire ,the Life-Giver, was an object of worship. No need to stress the lure of an open fire, even in this age of steam- heat and hot-air furnaces. People naturally gather round the hearth for warmth, for cheer, for friendli- ness; architects, taking their cue from human behavior, give the fire- place a central location in the room, while decorators rely on this feature to focus the interest and create a sense of unity, so that it determines the style of decoration and the ar- rangement of the furniture. Its treatment, therefore, demands care- ful thought. A Threefold Problem. A threefold problem confronts us as we ask ourselves 1, what sort of mantel to select; 2, what to put on the mantel shelf; 3, what to put on the wall above the shelf. 1. The Mantel. Its style should be determined, on one hand, by the architecture and cost of the house, on the other by the interior treat- ment of the room to which it be- longs. Avoid Slick Bricks. Errors of taste are frequent in the case of simple mantels because build- ers of modest homes are apt to be deplorably influenced by practical con- siderations such as the cost or avail- 'ability of material, economy of space, building for quick sale and a big pro- fit, and last but not least, the wishes of customers whose artistic education is not always adequate and who some- times insist on freakish construction. If brick is used, reject the smooth- faced, tan-colored kind and don't use black mortar. Light-colored bricks will soon show smoke, and a smooth dull tan is devoid of the warmth, com- fort and homelike cheer which we ex- pect to find in the living room. These qualities are better expressed by slightly rough-surfaced bricks in a blend of tones ranging in color from dark brown to a deep red, harmonized and tied together by a plaster joint of a dull cream color. What Not to Do. Mantels, entirely made of bricks, cobbles or rough-hewn stone are not suited to city apartments and homes; a wood frame is requisite in most cases. Avoid the heavy planklike mantel in craftman effect; the rubber-stamp built-in bookcakes with "funny" bun- galow craftman glass doors; the little high up windows that are so hard to dress. A small fireplace between two full-size windows is infinitely prefer- able. 2. The Shelf. It is easier to say that nothing trivial should be placed on. the mantel shelf than to specify safe to adopt the old attic philosophy summarized in three words: "Not too much." Let's then express these two rules affirmatively and say that very few objects should be placed on the mantel, each entitled to a place there by virtue of some intrin- sic beauty. Moreover, these objects should be arranged with strict Sym- metry and tied up with the decora- tion on the wall space above. The light fixtures are, of course, part of the fireplace decoration; if the archi- tect has not provided any stationary ones, tall lamps or candlesticks may cellent reproduction of some master- piece. Certain masterpieces, however, have ben so profusely reproduced as to become irritatingly commonplace and should be shunned. When the room is paneled, it is a good idea to insert a picture in the panel above the mantel, letting the molding take the place of a frame. A Mirror Is Good, If-- If a mirror is preferred it should not be one of the narrow horizon- tal type, because you cannot hope to make any particular feature domin- ant in a room if it does not possess "The Store With a Heart" 1414 Downie St. be placed on the mantel. 3. The Overmantel. Usually a picture is the very first choice, as it fills the space adequately and helps to carry the color scheme to this vital centre of the room. Obvi- ously, then, it must concentrate and blend within its narrow limits the hues found in draperies, rug and up- holstery. But no picture is accept- able unless it is really good, either an original painting of merit or an ex- the quality of height. Fabric hang- ings are excellent in combination with mirrors,where the rich texture and gorgeous hues of the materia] supply a splendidly efective background for the mirror and add sufficiently to its size and weight to justify the absence of mantel accessories.
