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

SUOVnvIER CARE of roses is important
if they are to bear bright
blooms in late summer or fall.
Weekly spraying or dusting to
control Insects is vital. If this routine
is negleOted or omitted, the
plants may suffer severe injury,
loss of foliage and become so
weakened they'll produce scanty
flowers of poor quali'ty.
The home gardener will find it
easier to prevent much of the
damage, rather than try to control
it once it has begun. Remember
to cover the under side as well
Trellis Secures
Outdoor Privacy
TREI.LISES can be much more
than mere sitructures to sujiport
\Tines.
They oan be fashioned into effeOtive
privacy screens for outdoor
laving. A good trellis should
be a good view breaker in spring
before vines produce leaves, or in
autumn after they have lallen.
There are many pleaiSanlt warm
days in these seasons to sit out on
the terrace, if there are screens
to keep it private. Flar too often a

vines or a'cMmiMng rose.

a garden. It iit is cheap, poorly
consitructed type, its only virtue
vM be its -dieapness.
as top of foliage with spray or
dust.
Fonnulas contairiing sulphur
.should be omiittcd during hot weather
to prevent harmful burning of
foliage. Fertilize msebushes alter
early bloom to insure better flowers
in fall. A balanced commercial
fertilizer such as 5-10-,5 or
4-12-4 is recommended.
A tablespoon of this fertUdzer per
plant sprinkled arount the scratched
lightly into the soil, followed by
ijhorough watering, wiill carry the
fertilizer down to the roots.
Adequate water is a prime requisite
during dry weather. Rose •
beds need an occasdonal thoroi^h
soakdng. Light sprinkling is hot effective.
The bost method is to allow water
from the hose to run slowly
until beds are well .soaked. Water
in the morning, not evening. The
nozzle of the ho.se is removed and
the water diffuser attached. Or the
water stream can be diffused by
means of a cloth around the nozzle
since a strong stream of water
might tunnel out channels or "wasli
.soil away from fine feeding roots.
Frequency of soaking will depend
on heat, type and' conditioin
of soil, as well as drainage characteristics.
Do not allow the soil
to become waterlo^ed.

BUiILDING STANDARDS for residential
construction help tlie
homeowner in a number of ways.
They not only ensure the struotiiral
safety of the house and the satdsfactoiy
performance of cquipment
but also help to provide adequate
shelter, comfort and fire
protection. The appearance of the
house itself, both exterior and interior,
can be enhanced by set-
'ting certain Standards of quality

scribed by Central Mortgage and
Hou.sing Corporation for houses
financed under the National Housing
Aot have been set up with a
furtjlier aim in mind. They esltablish
a norm of acceptable construction
in order to protect the
lender's inve.stment.
Hou.iing .sitandairds prescribed by
CMHC are prepared by the Mv-,
ision of Building Research, National
Research Council, to cover the
requirements for planning, con-
•.^Jti-uotion and materials for detach-
(»d hou.ses, semi-detached liouses,
duplex houses and row housing.
For ap'ai-tment buildings consitinicted
with NHA financing the Apartment
Building Standards are applicable.
There are ail .so pixavincial and
municipal codes governing tlie
building of Iiou.ses and installation
of services such as plumbing, electrical
systems and gas. In .some
cases these are even more exacting
than the standards prescrobed
by CMHC, but no confliction arises
sinco (he Corporation recognizes
that the higher standards must
apply.
Many of these local building
codes ar-e based on the National
Building Code which has been adopted
by .some 200 municipalities
across Canada. The use of a .^iingle
Ixn'Iding code for the entire country
should facilitate the work of
builders, manufacturers and suppliers
of building materials, real
estate agents and mortgage and
.finance companies. It is al.so comforting
to t:he pro.spective home
purchaser to know that whate\'er
house'he selects, if it has been
financed through an N1L\ in.sured
loan, it conforms in genei-al to the
full requirements sot out in NRC
Housing St'andaixls.
