By building a home or place of business during the winter. you will occupy it earlier than if you waited till spring to build. This means a saving in rent or earlier payments on the mortgage. In the case of a business establishment. it means an earlier return on your investment. THE WHITE CAMPAIGN 3. Deliveries and service on materials are better when supply houses are not so busy. Some- times, also. firms offer special winter discounts. 1. Skilled tradesmen. readily avallable in the winter, may be too busy in the spring or‘ summer months to do smaller renovation jobs. 2. When tradesmen are not too rushed they can do better work which results in economy for you. Whatever the need. it will pay you to “Do It Now", during the winter, because -â€" This applies particularly to home improvements â€"â€" renovation, redecoration, repairs and maintenance. Most of us know of jobs around our home which we’ll have to have done sometime. It may be a recreation room to be built, a living room to be redecorated, a kitchen to be remodelled, an extra room in the attic, new electrical fix- tures or wiring, or replacement of plumbing or heating equipment. More and more Canadians every year are finding that it is to their advantage to have work done in the winter- time when skilled men and materials are available. MINISTER’ S P \ T l GITI Z E NS J.

For a number of years a high light of the late winter season has been the February luncheon of the Woman’s Association of Richmond'Hill United Church. Is there any woman who can resist the opportunity or the excuse to wear her new spring hat and who would miss the refreshing stim- ulus of listening to a good after- lhncheon speaker in company with others one enjoys? At an enthusiastic meeting held on the premises of Coles Jewellers, Yonge Street, Thorn- hill, Monday evening at 8 pm. fifteen local business and profes- sional 'men attended and estab- lished a new association with the object of stimulating business, organising co-operative promo- tion‘ of trade, social and other purposes including a study of joint problems and their remedy. Executive Elected The Association will be -(known as the Thornhill Business and Professional Association and John Coles, Proprietor of Coles Jewellers was elected first Presi- dent. Lex Jamieson of The Thornhill Hardware was elected Vice-President, Dick Miller a partner of Thornhill Paint Sup- plies was elected Secretary while John Adkins the other partner was appointed Treasurer. Publicity And Membership Once again the Woman's As- sociation of Richmond Hill Unl- ted Church is offering us this pleasant kind of break. On Wed- nesday, February 17th at 10 o'- dock in the Christian Education Building, the annual February luncheon is being held. The guest speaker this year will be Mrs. Ruth Houck of Brampton. Mrs. Houck is well-known for her in- terest in many things. She is a mother and a grandmother; she has had wide experience in wo- man's Institute work, on the na- tional Board of the Y. W. C. A.. church and political affairs and has represented Canada at the United Nations. Mrs. Houck is well-fitted to speak on the topic she has chosen - “The Status of of population in most centres one or two schools must be construct- ed each year. School boards can- not wait for this accommodation; they must have it as quickly as possible in order to meet the A most excellent case in point, which the film makes clear, is the matter of school con- truction. Today, with the growth The first ls that. more and more, large businesses, which want buildings constructed are specifying that the work is to go ahead as fast as possible, re- gardless of weather conditions. This specification means that the customer can no longer tolerate delays previously caused by win- ter conditions. That leaves it up to the contractors and architects to devise means of continuing construe ion without regard to the ther ometer. Foster School Construction Thornhill . Businessmen Organize Association An enlightening survey of how Canada is overcoming the dif- ficulties and hazards of winter construction is now available in the form of a National Film Board release “Winter Construc- tion - It Can Be Done." Succesful Methods The film shows work being carried on during the winter months on a number of” large buildingprojects in various parts of Canada. Successful methods of overcoming problems of snow and cold are clearly explained. But perhaps most significant are two statements which are in- cluded in the film.

Like Richmond Hill the Thorn- hill merchants have similar prob- ems. They agreed that this was a matter of major importance and would have to be dealt with at an early date. A start would be made by asking the Thornhill Village Trustees to receive a del- egation from the Association. Valuable Asset This was a meeting for the purpose of establishing an assoc- iation so that no other business was dealt with. It was left to the Executive to plan a programme and agenda which would be conâ€" sidered at the next full meeting March 14th. A Major Problem It was suggested that there were upwards of thirty other business and professional people in the area and names were dis- tributed among those attending the meeting for each and every- one to be approached with the object of gaining their attend- ance at the next full association meeting. Executive To Plan Programme an earlier Asociation, now appar- ently defunct had once existed and that a small balance remain- ed of its funds in the local bank. Steps will be taken to obtain a meeting ‘of the former executive to authorise transfer of these funds to the new association, and the former members would be invited to join the new aswcia- tlon.

Thus the idea of building schools only in good weather had to be rejected and construction methods devised to build throughout the entire year. Winter work has long been ad- vocated as a means of combating unemployment and levelling out the employment cycle, and spreading out the work over a twelve month period tends to re- duce overhead and administrativ- costs in large building firms. Film Available Locally The Canadian Construction In- dustry, and The National Re- search Council Division of Build- ing Research collaborated with the National Film Board in the production of this film.
