Can Earn Continued From Page 2. The dwelling must be completed on or before the April date, except for outside painting, landscaping, and walks and driveways. While it may be too late now to get a house built and qualify under the program, new houses already erected and awaiting the first buyer can also qualify. It is well to bear in mind, too, that planning a new home to be constructed next winter under the program, can begin now, and contractors can be readily found to excavate basements ready for building work to begin. Leave it until spring or summer and skilled wof kmen may not be found in time to help you get the $500. Remember, too, that dwellings must meet accepted standards for Canadian houses set out; in the National Building Code of Canada, and must also apply to local by-laws. Mr. J. Neill at Quesnel Town Hall will provide local information on minimum standards. Each dwelling unit must have four or more rooms in addition to a bathroom and must contain adequate heating: and sanitary facilities and space for cooking, eating, living and sleeping. Those eligible under the scheme aire: Those who have a residential building built by a contractor within the time Umit and provided the house meets the necessary standards; Those who build their own houses ot* act as their own contractors; and Those who are the first purchaser of a winter-built home. There may also be houses available on the market now, waiting to be sold, which were constructed during the winter, an4 on which the $500 bonus is available. Seven Government Plans Aid Winter Employment Here is a list of govern-: ment measures designed to stimulate winter markets:- 1. "Do-It-Now" Winter Employment Campaign. * 2. Winter Housebuilding Incentive Program. 3. Municipal Winter Works Incentive Program. 4. Promotion of NHA Home Improvement Loans during winter. 5. Promotion of Farm Improvement Loans during winter. 6. Promotion of Small Business Loans during winter. 7. Directives to government departments to time all possible construction and purchasing to create more winter work. The following facts are of interest: 1. Canada's largest promotional campaign, —4 million dollars (90 per cent from nongovernment sources) is to encourage the public and "bus- - inessmen to have more work done during the winter. 2. The campaign is based on the logic that it pays to have work done in the winter when men and materials are' more readily available. 3. The national campaign is supported by 200 local campaigns organized from coast to coast by the National Employment Service, 4. The campaign provides tie-in promotional material for all media which you, as a businessman, can use in your own winter employment campaign. 5. Campaign runs from November to March. Use Simple Stuff for Good Design Architects agree that simple lines and good balance make for good design. Besides, simplicity is easier on the pocketbook. Something to bear in mind is that your floor plan can influence the exterior appearance of your home, and by the same token, exterior appearance can affect the floor plan. This is one reason why you must decide if the architectural style you prefer fits in with your room arrangement. Simple design gives you greater freedom in planning the interior. If you have ever Construction Suffers Most In Canadian Winters The heaviest losses in seasonal unemployment occur in the construction ,and allied industries. This statement is based on a Canada-wide survey. On Vancouver Island during a winter of heavy snow like the present One, the heaviest unemployment is* undoubtedly among the loggers employed by lumber companies large and small. As a rule it is estimated one-third of the seasonal unemployment in Canada, however, occurs in the building trades and general construction. Winter-Built Homes I Any home you plan to build under Ottawa's winter Incentive programme must be designed for year-round use, and contain certain minimum feattires. It must also be buUt In accordance with the minimum standards laid down In Part 9> (Housing) of the National Bttildlng Code, and in addition nUist comply with local municipal building bylaws.

A spokesman of the Winter Employment Campaign reminds the public "Whatever your business, these ' slackoff s' will affect you." Cost of Canadian seasonal unemployment is set at $ 300,000,000 in wages and purchasing power. been inside a house buUt with a turret at one corner you'll realize how difficult it is for the architect to make sense out of the room planning. Style can be a very bad guide to a person planning to build or buy a house. For example, the sentimental appeal of a Cape Cod cottage can blind a prospective homeowner to serious basic faults in the house. Materials, color, scale, proportion size and shape of windows all mean much more to the tiaslc attractiveness of a house than does style. PLAN NO. FLOOR ARtA 11205 1206 sa. rr. Cathedral Entry House With a Difference Plan #11205 (copyright #117093). To design a cathedral entry type of home that is practical and economical to build, yet is different from the general run-of-the-mill cathedral entry home is a challenge to the imaginative designer. Here is one such design - a cathedral entry with an individual look. This is accomplished by taking advantage of the side slope of the lot, placing the carport under the sundeck, concrete steps up to the walk to the entry, and inside the front door, the fireplace backs on to the entry wall, providing a handsomely rugged appearance in the front hall. The living room takes advantage of the time tested L formula for the living/dining area with access to the sun- Laundry Tubs Are Necessary Even though the modern homb laundry is equipped with automatic appliances, there is still a need for laundry tubs. They are a part of the basic and indispensable equipment. Available in various sizes and materials, laundry tubs are handy for soaking clothes as well as washing up for home hobbyists and gardeners. For maximum convenience the Plumbing-Heating- Cooling Information Bureau recommends the two compartment type, available as a single, divided unit or separate basins.

So, 70 It will be-- still too warm for you to have a comfortable sleep and so you toss and turn all night. If you had electric heating, you could set the thermostat In her room at 75 yours at 65.
