ONTARIO THURSDAY, MARCH 18th, 1937 “In Essentials, Unity; In Non‘essentials, Libefiy; In A11E‘hingsfi,££arity" Members of the local Advisory committee of the Home Improvement plan met Monday evening in the Municipal Hall under the chairman- ship of T. H. Trench and heard an address by Joseph Bannigan, district representative of the Home Improve- ment Plan, and discussed plans for the local campaign to stimulate ac- tivity in the general improvement of homes and property. It is a recognized fact that during the past number of years many need- ed repairs and alterations to homes have been postponed on. account of the depressed business conditions. The purpose of the present campaign for Home Improvement is to stimu- late building activity and suggests Revival Building Activity Aim of lmpmvemenl Plan as its slogan “Do It Now.” Build- ing materials are on the upgrade in price and it is pointed out that need~ ed repairs can be done more cheaply now than in the course of a few years. In addition the Dominion Government has made it possible to finance improvement on a deferred payment plan with monthly pay- ments, and offers to property owners the cheapest plan of deferred pay- ment ever offered anywhere in the world. Contractors throughout the district are looking to a large increase in business as a result of the campaign and even now building activity in the North Yonge Street district is on the increase. Any property owner desiring to take advantage of this opportunity to improve his property should im- mediately consult his banker, con- tractor, or T. H. Trench, chairman of the local advisory committee who will supply full information regard)- ing the plan. Reeve J. A. Greene and other mum- icipal leaders in the district have heartin endorsed the plan as one which will improve the community, stimulate activity in the building- and supply trades and thus relieve unem- ployment.

Another well attended meeting of the Women’s Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Duncan Chamney when Miss Ditchbum of the Hydro Electric Power Commission gave a perfectly! splendid demonstration of home lighting. Miss Ditchburn brought lamps of many types showâ€" ing- the‘ one most suitable for every occasion. Miss Phyllis Glass favored the meeting with a solo after which the Institute hostesses served after- noon tea. Miss Wilson, the Secretary, has been forced to limit the number of entries to twenty-five and it is ex- pected that this quota will soon be filled. “We could,” she said, “do with a few more good musicians, vio- linists, etc.” The keen interest in these amateur contests has been en- hanced by the success that Canadian amateurs have attained on American rad-i0 programs and vaudeville cir- cuits. Although this contest does not offer any stage or radio con- tracts, it is understood that some very valuable prizes will be awarded and the presence of a popularly known radio man may result in a “find” being given an opportunity on the air. Harry Lord. of the Lord Advertising Agency, who has wide experience in arranging radio pro- grams, has consented to act as one of the judges and Douglas Cooper, well known among Little Theatre groups and Hart House Players, Will act as Master of Ceremonies.
