<strong>ROSE</strong> <strong>LEAF</strong> <strong>HOPPERS</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong>often</strong><br />
wrongly called "white fly" because<br />
they <strong>are</strong> whitish and fly off<br />
bushes in white clouds at tlie<br />
slightest disturbance.<br />
These, however, <strong>are</strong> sucking insects<br />
so need a contact dust or<br />
spray. It must touch the insect to<br />
kill, which requires that it be done<br />
at a tune when they <strong>are</strong> quiet.<br />
Early morning or late afternoon,<br />

By DON HANRIGHT<br />
Canadian Press Staff Writer<br />
The proviDces, pursuing a fond<br />
objectiv(?, last week came seeking<br />
more money from Ottawa. In effect<br />
they were told to come back<br />
later.<br />
The occasion was a conference<br />
of government treasury officials,<br />
called to line up a thorough-going<br />
study of tiie whole federal-provincial<br />
fiscal deal. TYiat did it.<br />
It wasn't intended thait the meeting<br />
become a springboard for provincial<br />
money demands. Regardless,<br />
that is the way the conference<br />
began.<br />
Crux of the matter is the taxsharing<br />
formula in the current<br />
federai-provindal agreement, that<br />
expires March 31, 1962. It gives the<br />
provinces 13 per cent of personal<br />
income tax yields, nine per cent<br />
of ba.vable corporation income, and<br />
half the inheritance tax.<br />
Ontario asked for a 15-15-50 formula,<br />
and Prince Edward Island rallied<br />
to this banner. British Columbia<br />
went a sstep further, asking<br />
a 25-12-.50 setup.<br />

wiok made no specific proposals,<br />

the Atlantac provinces<br />

year's predicted $393,000,000 defidt<br />
on an expeoted upswing in the<br />
gross national product, told reporters:<br />
"I want to see how far recovery<br />
wall go before deciding on whether<br />
to call a plenary conference. The<br />
provinces understand I don't want<br />
to be in the position of propoang<br />

(the official communique said—"the<br />
possible need for a negotiating<br />

to revise benefiits available to the<br />
provinces.<br />
DEFENCE SHARING<br />
Raymond O'Hurley, minister of<br />
defence production, has minced no<br />
words in Stating C&nada's position<br />
in sharing defence orders with the<br />
United States. He told the Commons:<br />
"I would emphasize thait we <strong>are</strong><br />
determined that any Canadian<br />
ix>le under production sliaring<br />
should include some of the more<br />
demanding work and not be hmited<br />
to the pouring of concrete or<br />
to what is <strong>often</strong> called 'mettal<br />
bashing'."<br />
He announced one example of<br />
the demanding work: In a $400,-<br />
000,000 program over the next four<br />
years, Canadian plants will build<br />
.some 200 American Locldieed<br />
F-104G super.sonic fighter planes<br />
for tlie RC.'\.F air division in Europe.<br />
Opposition Leader Pearson said<br />
*lie giw\'nng integration of Canadian<br />
and U.S. defences is a far<br />
cry from Conseivative talk a few<br />
years ago alxiut "freeing our defence<br />
policy from the ovenK>werang'control<br />
of the U.S."<br />
PAR NORTH POLICY<br />
Resources Minister Alvin Hamilton<br />
says Canadian sovereignty in<br />
the far north will not be endangered<br />
by foreign participation in tho<br />
exploitation of oil and gas resources.<br />
So long as companies searching<br />
'for gas and oil <strong>are</strong> under offecttive<br />
Canadian administration "that is<br />
Ithe most tangible evidence to any<br />
per.son in any part of the world<br />
that this is Canada and that this<br />
is tlie land we will fight for," Mr.<br />
Hamilton said in the Commons.<br />
He was replying to Opposition<br />
Leader Pearson who accused<br />
Prime Minister Diefenbaker and<br />
Mr. Hamilton of trying to mislead<br />
Oanadians about governmenit efforts<br />
to preserve northern sovereignty.<br />
VANIER FOR GOVERNOR<br />
An announcement is expected<br />
within the next month or so to the<br />
effect thart: Maj.-Gen. George P.<br />
Vanier of Montreal will be Canada's<br />
next governbr-geneiial.<br />
Indications aire that the Queen<br />
who is reported to have approved<br />
of tMs ohoice by Prime Minisiter<br />
Diefenbaker, may be asked to announce<br />
the appoinltmenit before her<br />
Canadian tour ends August 1.<br />
Gen. Vanier, 71, earned a distingiiished<br />
record overseas in the<br />
Fir^t World War with the Royal<br />
22nd Regiment. He retired from<br />
public seivice in 1953 after eight<br />
years as Canadian ambassador in<br />
Raris.<br />
As Colonel of the Van Doos, of<br />
which he is a founder-member, he<br />
was present when tlie Queen in-<br />
.spected the regiment at Quebec<br />
Cit>' earlier in her tour.<br />
His appointment would follow<br />
the tradition of alternating high<br />
offices between French-speaking<br />
and English.speaking persons.<br />
Governor-General Massey, 72,<br />
has served a record seven and a<br />
half years in the office. His term<br />
avas twice extended. He is the fiirst<br />
lOanadian-born Governor-General,<br />
breaking a tradition of 17 Britishborn<br />
governors-general since confederation.<br />
CASH FOR ARTS<br />
The Canada Council says in its<br />
annual report that after two years<br />
of handing out cash for art's sake,<br />
tlie council's policies <strong>are</strong> beginning<br />
to take definite form.<br />
One realization lias been tliat<br />
itlie council's annual income of<br />
roughly $2,7.50,000 from its $50,000,-<br />
000 endowment fund can be stretched<br />
only SQ far.<br />
The need of arts, humanities and<br />
social sciences <strong>are</strong> so great, said<br />
the annual report, "'that time indeed<br />
will 'not wither them, nor<br />
custom stale, nor will $2,750,000<br />
•per annum wholly gratify them."<br />
Sometliing would have to go.<br />
Tlie council could not commit the<br />
bullv of its funds for eitlier small<br />
local groups or for large perennial<br />
contributions to big, establi.siied<br />
organizations.<br />
For one tiling, it would be<br />
"fatal" to f;ry to supixirt the thousands<br />
of small, local orchestras,<br />
choii's, little theatres and the like,<br />
whieh could quicldy devour the<br />
council's budget.<br />
Three Atlend<br />
Branch Meeting<br />
THREE local school board members<br />
attended a m.eeting of tlie<br />
Northern Interior Branch of tlie<br />
B.C. School Trustees' Association,<br />
hold in Prince George last Sunday.<br />
Those making the trip north<br />
were E. L. Bobier, Dick Gliege and<br />
W. L. Gi-ifCith.<br />
Delegates attended from Burns<br />
Lake, Vanderhoof, McBride, Dawson<br />
Creek and Fort St. John, as<br />

In addition tliere was a party<br />

WASTE MATTER that tends to<br />
ok>g drau)s, espeaiaMy material<br />
that wiffl iMit dissolve in water,<br />
should never be disposed of througli<br />
the drainage system of a house.<br />
Accumulations of grease, for example,<br />
wiil! slow down and some-<br />
•times block the passage of waste<br />
waiter. •<br />
Plugged or sluggish drains can<br />
<strong>often</strong> be freed by .simply using a<br />
plunger or force cup. In sonie cases,<br />
however, it may be necessary<br />
!to employ other methods such as<br />
chemicals or mechanical devices.<br />
Lye, the chemical generally used<br />
to clean out grease sediiment<br />
and other obstructions in clogged<br />
drains, should be used only when<br />
proper precautions <strong>are</strong> taken. If<br />
a lye solution comes into contact<br />
wiith the body, especially the eyes,<br />
senious injury can result. Since the ^<br />
chemical is a caustic substance,<br />
cloithes should also be protected against<br />
splashing. However, when<br />
instructions for their use <strong>are</strong> followed<br />
o<strong>are</strong>fuHy, lye and otlier<br />
chemicals <strong>are</strong> both safe and effective<br />
for cleaning out clogged drains,<br />
espeoially in the case of an accumulia'fcion<br />
of grease.<br />
When more persistent obstructions<br />
<strong>are</strong> met the chemical flushing<br />
compounds prove ineffective,<br />
'it may be necessary to use a<br />
"snake." Tliis is a wire coil spring<br />
auger which can reach a considerable<br />
distance down the drainpipe,<br />
chewing away at the obstruc-<br />
'tion by means of a metal bit attiached<br />
to the shaft. Some types<br />
<strong>are</strong> operated by hand, otliers by<br />
means of a motor. Although these<br />
(types <strong>are</strong> used mainly by plumbers,<br />
simple, inexpensive "snakes"<br />
suitable for homeowners, <strong>are</strong> available.<br />
A newer method of opening<br />
clogged di^ns involves the use of<br />
an explosive charge or "gun."<br />
Like the motor driven "snake,"<br />
•this device is used mostly by<br />
plumbers who <strong>are</strong> familiar wiith<br />
its operation.<br />

THE FLUSH tank toHet is standard<br />
in nearly all Canadian homes.<br />
Its mechanism and operation<br />
is simple and repairs can <strong>often</strong><br />
be made by the homeowner himself.<br />
Briefly, it consists of a float that<br />
Fence Gives<br />
Privacy For<br />
Oul-of-Doors<br />
WINDOW WALLS and outdoor<br />
living have created a demand<br />
for fences to bring privacy.<br />
With family living extending to<br />
tlie property line, the fence has<br />
now become another wall of the<br />
house and as such has taken on<br />
new patterns and new ways of construction<br />
to fit its new prominence.<br />
CAN BE DECOKAXn E<br />
Tills garden wall can be wonderfully<br />
decorative as well as useful.<br />
And even amateurs can achieve<br />
professional looking results.<br />
The six-foot fence is <strong>often</strong> an absolute<br />
necessity to a house whose<br />
interior merges with the garden<br />
and is ovei'looked by other houses<br />
or traffic. But in screening for<br />
privacy, landscape architects explain<br />
that it is seldom necessaiy<br />
to provide continuous screening.<br />
Noisy traffic can make a garden<br />
unpleasant unless it is muffled in<br />
.some way.- Homeowners whose<br />
property adjoins busy traffic lanes<br />
have found that by using abundant<br />
evergreen planting against high<br />
fencing, noise has been reduced.<br />
One homeowner has added the<br />
pleasaint patter of water to further<br />
veil the noise. This was done<br />
with several little waterfalls dropping<br />
into little pools.<br />
VARIEXr IN FENCES<br />
There is great variety in fencing<br />
styles from which to choose, but<br />
they should be related to the design<br />
of the house, and landscape,<br />
architects say.<br />
The homeowner can choose a<br />
solid fence made of cedar boards,<br />
plywood sheets, fibreglass or asbestos<br />
board panels. Again it can<br />
be a barrier made of woven plywood<br />
or fibreglass strips. Split cedar<br />
saplings nailed to either side<br />
of 2 .X 4s will make a fence attractive<br />
back and fi'ont. As a shelter<br />
to control wind, ther'g's the<br />
moveable cedar louver type fence.<br />
Since fence building is not a difficult<br />
job, many homeowners build<br />
their- own successfully. The biggest<br />
problem is the post setting.<br />
Once the posts <strong>are</strong> in place the<br />
'rest is easy.<br />
As well as wood fences, the<br />
.skilled do-it-yxjurselfer can also<br />
build a masonry wall. Brick or<br />
concrete block <strong>are</strong> not beyond the<br />
average handyman. However, experts<br />
point out that .stonework requires<br />
genuine craftsmanship and<br />
poured concrete takes equipment<br />
and elaborate forming and staging.<br />

rises or falls with the water level<br />
in the tank, closing or opemng the<br />
water intadce valve by means of<br />
a lever to which it is attached. A<br />
second lever, called the trip lever,<br />
is operated manually. It is connected<br />
to a rubber ball that seals<br />
the water outlet when down, and<br />
releases the flow of water into the<br />
bowl when raised. Suction holds<br />
the ball tight against the outlet<br />
when in the down posifion. An overflow<br />
pipe drains the excess water<br />
into the bowi after the proper<br />
level has been reached. Normally<br />
the intake valve is adjusted to<br />
clo.se when fclie water reaches a<br />
point an inch or so below the top<br />
of the overflow drain.<br />
A leak at either the intake valve<br />
or the outlet can be suspected if<br />
water is heard running through<br />
tlie pipes. The inibber baU in the<br />
outlet valve may not be making<br />
water-tight contact against the<br />
valve seat, or there may be some<br />
foreign matter adhering to the<br />
ball. Removing the sediment from<br />
the ball or seat is <strong>often</strong> aU that is<br />
needed to ensure proper closing;<br />
of the valve. But if the ball is losing<br />
its resiliency or if the rubber<br />
is cracked or disintegrating, it will<br />
have to be replaced.<br />
Anotlier comon failure which<br />
causes the outlet valve to leak is<br />
HEART DISEASE<br />
a bent or stick lift wire. This wiU<br />
prevent the ball from faUing all<br />
the way down or from sitting<br />
squ<strong>are</strong>ly on the valve openir^.<br />
Straightening the wire or rotating<br />
the guide arm through which the<br />
wire is threaded will usually correct<br />
this condition. The tank will<br />
have to be emptied and liie intake<br />
valve closed during this operation.<br />
Water can be prevented from entering<br />
the tank by maintaining the<br />
float in the "up" position.<br />
If the trouble is with the intake<br />
valve, the float may be binding<br />
against the walls of the tank, or<br />
the float itself may be leaking or<br />
waterlogged. Binding can be corrected<br />
by bending the float arm<br />
and freeing the float. However, if<br />
the float is punctured or is no<br />
longer serviceable it will have to'<br />
be replaced.<br />
When tile water continually spills<br />
into the overflow pipe a worn-out<br />
washer in the intake valve may<br />
be suspected. To make the repair<br />
the main shutoff valve on tlie water<br />
supply 'line will have to be<br />
closed. The washer can be reached<br />
by removing the scro\\"s that<br />
hold down the plunger. The ring<br />
cap which holds tlie washer jiiay<br />
also have to be replaced if it is<br />
defective.<br />
A I R - C O N D I T I O N I N G A I D S<br />
PATIENTS WITH heart disease<br />
who must be hospjifcalized in hot<br />
weather <strong>are</strong> greatly helped by air<br />
conditioning of their rooms, according<br />
to a report from the American<br />
Medical Associatiion received<br />
by the Heallth League of Canada.<br />
Two physicians, Drs. George E.<br />
Burch and Niohoilas DePasquale<br />
said that heart patients <strong>are</strong> helped<br />
because air conditioning elimina'tes<br />
sweating, w'hich causes the<br />
cardiovascular system to work<br />
harder than usual. Thus, it prevents<br />
additional strain on an already<br />
damaged heart.<br />
They said that air-conditioning<br />
of hospi'tal rooms is also especially<br />
helpful to patients witli chronic illnesses<br />
and with broncliial asthma.<br />
The doctors pointed out that airconditioning<br />
as ah adjunct to regular<br />
treatment "has not received<br />
the emphasis in medical literature<br />
that it deserves."<br />
E V E R Y T H I N G<br />
F O R T H E<br />
R U I L D E R<br />
They comp<strong>are</strong>d two groups of<br />
patients treaited at charily hospital,<br />
New Orleans, in air condi'tioned<br />
and non-air-conditioned wards.<br />
They found that air-condibioning<br />
benefits most patierits, although<br />
a few could ndt stand it at ail.<br />
They complained of the cold and<br />
of having "stuffy" noses.<br />
The air-condiitioning was beneficial<br />
to patients mainly because<br />
they slept more soundly, longer<br />
and more restfully. Patients who<br />
were short of breath found it easier<br />
to brcalthe, fchus relieving anxielty<br />
and apprehension.<br />
On the whole, air-conditioning<br />
"eliminated sweating, fostered a<br />
calim and quiet atmosphere, improved<br />
morale of both paitients<br />
and attending personnel, removed<br />
aler^ens from the environment<br />
and increased the tolerance of enforced<br />
bed rest," the doctors concluded.<br />

THE FIREPLACE can be a focal<br />
point on patio or tcii-ace as<br />
in the living room.<br />
The fireplace can be a simple<br />
structure of masomy^set into glass<br />
or paving, or a raised metaJ brazier.<br />
The homeowTrer should malce<br />
sure that Uie fire circle is adequate<br />
for outdoor warmtli and that tlie<br />
. brazier is adequate for cooldng. If<br />
they do not meet these requirements<br />
a more elaborate .structure<br />
S U M M E R C A R E OF <strong>ROSE</strong>S<br />
may be necessary.<br />
The installation of a barbecue<br />
fireplace in permanent masonry<br />
must be handled with c<strong>are</strong>. It<br />
should be designed c<strong>are</strong>iuUy, simply<br />
and functionally. It can be<br />
built as part of the enclosing sti-ucture<br />
if po.s.sible.<br />
Its position in relation to house<br />
.did patio .should be studied c<strong>are</strong>fully.<br />
If the fireplace is too heavy,<br />
monumental and obstmsive it will<br />
over-.shadow tlie gabrden picture<br />
and destroy its scale and sense<br />
of .space.<br />
K e e p Motor Clean<br />
CARBURETOR cleaning, magneto<br />
in,spection and breaker point adjustments<br />
to the manufacturer's<br />
specifications by your outboard<br />
dealer will add many more trouble-free<br />
hours of bo.ating pleasure.<br />
Keep your engine clean. It will<br />
operate more efficiently. A small<br />
paintbrush is good for dusting off<br />
the cooling fins. Never use gasoline<br />
for cleaning. It's too explosive.<br />
Kerosene is better for removing<br />
grease and oU—'but wait until<br />
the engine cools.<br />
GLASS CUTTER SHIELD<br />
To protect fhe wheel of a glass<br />
cutter from becoming damaged by<br />
being banged around in a tool<br />
drawer, make a ^ield for the<br />
glass cutter. A short piece of rubber<br />
tubing slipped over the wheel<br />
end wiU do the job.<br />

SUOVnvIER CARE of roses is important<br />
if they <strong>are</strong> to bear bright<br />
blooms in late summer or fall.<br />
Weekly spraying or dusting to<br />
control Insects is vital. If this routine<br />
is negleOted or omitted, the<br />
plants may suffer severe injury,<br />
loss of foliage and become so<br />
weakened they'll produce scanty<br />
flowers of poor quali'ty.<br />
The home gardener will find it<br />
easier to prevent much of the<br />
damage, rather than try to control<br />
it once it has begun. Remember<br />
to cover the under side as well<br />
Trellis Secures<br />
Outdoor Privacy<br />
TREI.LISES can be much more<br />
than mere sitructures to sujiport<br />
\Tines.<br />
They oan be fashioned into effeOtive<br />
privacy screens for outdoor<br />
laving. A good trellis should<br />
be a good view breaker in spring<br />
before vines produce leaves, or in<br />
autumn after they have lallen.<br />
There <strong>are</strong> many pleaiSanlt warm<br />
days in these seasons to sit out on<br />
the terrace, if there <strong>are</strong> screens<br />
to keep it private. Flar too <strong>often</strong> a<br />
trends'is merely a skimpy support<br />
hastily erected ito train fast-growing<br />
vines or a'cMmiMng rose.<br />
Unless a treI15s is weli bmlit, it<br />
does nortMng to help the looks of<br />
a garden. It iit is cheap, poorly<br />
consitructed type, its only virtue<br />
vM be its -dieapness.<br />
as top of foliage with spray or<br />
dust.<br />
Fonnulas contairiing sulphur<br />
.should be omiittcd during hot weather<br />
to prevent harmful burning of<br />
foliage. Fertilize msebushes alter<br />
early bloom to insure better flowers<br />
in fall. A balanced commercial<br />
fertilizer such as 5-10-,5 or<br />
4-12-4 is recommended.<br />
A tablespoon of this fertUdzer per<br />
plant sprinkled arount the scratched<br />
lightly into the soil, followed by<br />
ijhorough watering, wiill carry the<br />
fertilizer down to the roots.<br />
Adequate water is a prime requisite<br />
during dry weather. Rose •<br />
beds need an occasdonal thoroi^h<br />
soakdng. Light sprinkling is hot effective.<br />
The bost method is to allow water<br />
from the hose to run slowly<br />
until beds <strong>are</strong> well .soaked. Water<br />
in the morning, not evening. The<br />
nozzle of the ho.se is removed and<br />
the water diffuser attached. Or the<br />
water stream can be diffused by<br />
means of a cloth around the nozzle<br />
since a strong stream of water<br />
might tunnel out channels or "wasli<br />
.soil away from fine feeding roots.<br />
Frequency of soaking will depend<br />
on heat, type and' conditioin<br />
of soil, as well as drainage characteristics.<br />
Do not allow the soil<br />
to become waterlo^ed.<br />

For ap'ai-tment buildings consitinicted<br />

Building Standards <strong>are</strong> applicable.<br />
There <strong>are</strong> ail .so pixavincial and<br />
municipal codes governing tlie<br />
building of Iiou.ses and installation<br />
of services such as plumbing, electrical<br />
systems and gas. In .some<br />
cases these <strong>are</strong> even more exacting<br />
than the standards prescrobed<br />
by CMHC, but no confliction arises<br />
sinco (he Corporation recognizes<br />
that the higher standards must<br />
apply.<br />
Many of these local building<br />
codes ar-e based on the National<br />
Building Code which has been adopted<br />
by .some 200 municipalities<br />
across Canada. The use of a .^iingle<br />
Ixn'Iding code for the entire country<br />
should facilitate the work of<br />
builders, manufacturers and suppliers<br />
of building materials, real<br />
estate agents and mortgage and<br />
.finance companies. It is al.so comforting<br />
to t:he pro.spective home<br />
purchaser to know that whate\'er<br />
house'he selects, if it has been<br />
financed through an N1L\ in.sured<br />
loan, it conforms in genei-al to the<br />

BUCK RIDGE—Witli the haying<br />
season consuming most of our<br />
days, we see a great deal of borrowing<br />
and lending of mowei's,<br />

impromptu visits to the neighbors<br />
ai-e aboiit the only rela.vation for<br />

BOUCHIE LAKE — With the<br />
weatherman co-operating beautifully,<br />
the Bouchie Lake W.I. picnic,<br />
held last Sunday at the Armsitrong<br />
Beach, was most enjoyable.<br />
About 50 adulits and children spent<br />
a pleasant afternoon talking summing<br />
and eating. The turkey, kept<br />
in someone's deep freezer since<br />
the convention, was very good<br />
with the salads.<br />
Payton Booth brought his mother,<br />
Mrs. Emma Booth out from<br />
town t-o join in the day's evenlts.<br />
Mrs. Booth was a member of the<br />
W.I. for several years before<br />
moving to town.<br />
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Puttonen,<br />
with Sandra, Gloria and Valerie<br />

she will spend several days holidaying<br />
at the Cariboo Youth<br />
Camp.<br />
Those who watched the Gymkhana<br />
pult on by the Trail Riders<br />
Club will join me, I'm sure, in<br />
congratulaiting them on a very<br />
good show. In spiite of the heat the<br />
events were run off in quick succession,<br />
w-hich must have been<br />
hard on all the participants and<br />
their horses as they had Mttle time<br />
to re.gt botween races. It's too bad<br />
a larger <strong>are</strong>a could not be found<br />
for the horse shows, as it's so<br />
much more interesting to waitch<br />
the .slak-e and bending races wnth<br />
all tho hf"'"scs running together instead<br />
of one al a time; using a<br />
stop watcli for timing.<br />
However, as long the thc majority<br />
of the people <strong>are</strong> more inter<br />
ested in car racing and basebali.<br />
I suppose the horses will lako<br />
w^iatever they can get.<br />
It's fiinny, though, how many<br />
Quosnd people w^^ill go out of town<br />
lo w;iic,"h oilier horse shows and<br />
won't give thoir own Trail Riders<br />

At the regular monthly meeting<br />
held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.<br />
Chris Dilman, the 4-H'ers debated<br />
the topic, "Dairy Stock versus<br />
Beef," but the conclusions of the<br />
discussion were raither indefinite.<br />
We would enjoy hearing them discuss<br />
this controversial subject again<br />

The majority of ohildren in the<br />
four to eight year group killed in<br />
t<br />
tractor accidents last year w^ere<br />
riding a tractor, not operating one<br />
—just along for the ride. Wouldn't<br />
you rather hear a child cry because<br />
he was refused a tractor<br />
ride, than hear him cry becar.se<br />
hv. got hurt riding one? . . . Tractors<br />
<strong>are</strong> made for one reason, to<br />
operate—and no more.—The Winkler<br />
