C. R. Spencer. mentioned in his report, the spirit of fellowship and goodwill in the congregation was never better. “In his report on the condition and progress of the Parish, Mr. Spencer paid a glowing tribute to all those who had co-operated to make the special effort a success. Having accomplished the task in one year, the rector ex- pressed the hope that the church would never return to other means of raising its funds. The whole Diocese of Toronto is watching St. John’s, he said, and this report will be most cheering to others who would like to make the same effort.” “Radio in Canada is at the parting of the ways.” That is how The Midland Free Press sees the present situation. The Free Press is one of the many Ontario newspapers Which has taken the same stand as The Liberal in oppos- ing the recent increase in radio license fees. The Free Press believes, as does The Liberal, that if radio listeners have to take their amusement adulterated with generous doses of advertising they should not have to pay for that doubtful privilege. If commercial stations can get along without government aid or license fees, the government stations should be able to. 1‘ 1 1,3,. __ no‘n“f\‘fl Advertising Rates on Applicatiofi.

Lyv . -v_~ ~-.‘, ,, “The present set-up is outrageously unfair both to radio listeners and to those who are in the business of selling advertising through newspapers, magazines, bill- boards, privately owned radio stations, etc.” The Free Press goes on to point out that the CBC is not only receiving direct financial backing from the govâ€" ernment, but the government is also collecting fees for its support from the general public while the Commission is in the business of selling advertising. It is‘ natural that radio users can not see why they should have to pay for programs from government sta- tions when they get better programs from commercially- operated stations to which they are not compelled to con- tribute. There might be some excuse if the government stations could boast that their programs were exclusive of advertising, but they can not. This has been the chief cause for the growing feeling against government opera- tion of sending stations. The Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration are providing what has been classed as unfair competition to commercially-operated stations, which are operated solely on advertising revenue.

Most radio users are not likely to hold that View that this would be any great calamity. ‘ If the annual $2.50 fee was used for some useful pur- pose such as the reduction of some of the government debt, there would not likely be the same opposition to the fee. The objection is that there should be a fee for a service which could be provided without cost if not governmentallg controlled.

Square fractured coal should be used, which will let through an even flow of air and will ‘burn freely with flu damper closed and prevent unneâ€" cessary heat from escaping- through the chimney. If flat fractured coal is used» more draft is required with the consequent loss of heat through the chimney. In preparing a fire, first leave a little ash on the grate; on top of lthis spread some new coal on Which you will place your kindling. This foundation prevents the small pieces of burning kindling from dropping :Rnwn mum: EDEN SYRUP The CAN ADA STARCH COMPANY Limited TORONTO F2 THE‘QEABGS ENERGY FOOD of burning kindling from dropping through the grate. When burning kindling is covered with fresh coal, the coal on both top and bottom will commence to burn. The “heaped firing method” isl strongly advised. By this. method the coal is heaped from the back of the fire-box on a downward slant to the front and leaving a red spot at the front. The gas, which contains considerable heat will then be burnt and explosion will be avoided. The small slide on the fireâ€"box door should be left slightly open all the time. This lets sufficient oxygen in to burn the gas. If coal is being mixed, extra large size and extra small size mixing should be avoided. There are four sizes, egg, stove, chestnut and pea.l Egg and pea should not be mixed]. but egg and stove can be etc. Chestnut is recommended for cook stoves and Quelbec heaters. Fire should'lbe kept as high as fire-box door. In deep fire boxes, large sized coal is recommended, and in shallow boxes small sized coal. This is regardless of the width of the box. Of the 45 per cent of estimated lost heat, 20 per cent goes through the chimney. ‘This is caused by ex- cessive draft; using wrong size of coal; stirring fire too much; warped fire box doors let in too «much draft and from burning coal that is too hard and requires too much draft. Ash pit 105s is said to be respons- ible for 5 per cent 6f loss. This is D caused by too much shaking, burnt out grates, hard lburning coal and 1 dirty stoves or furnaces. r Radiation loss is estimated at '7 per cent.

Chimneys should be kept free from breaks and leaks. Pipes should fit tightly into chimney. This can be effected by packing them with as- bestos. Hot air pipes should have 1 inch of elevation for every foot in length. Volume of cold air intake pipes should be equal to volume of hot air output. Cold air grates should be located close to doors or windows. Water pans should always be kept filled. It requires more dry heat to keep a room comfortable than if the heat is moist. The use of a thermostat is strong. 1y recommended. This will prevent underheating and overheating and will effect a fuel saving. HARRY R.
