No duct work or expensive structural changes are required to provide maximum heating comfort in the added living space you’re planning,because electric heating units operate entirely independ- ently. Your qualified electric heating contractor can install them anywhere, at any time. quickly and inexpensively. COOK. Chairman CAREFREE COMFORT Flameless electric heating units provide the ultimate in‘ heating comfort. With an individual thermostat in each electrically-heated room, you control both comfort and cost. Just set the exact heat you want, when you want it. ..turn it down when the room is not in use. Heat is provided al- most instantly. . . no need to wait for heat to build up in a central system. Electric heat is as clean as light, produces no dust. no fumes. no products of combustion. The air is more healthful and drapes, rugs. walls stay clean longer. LOOK AT THESE ADVANTAGES With flameless electric heat no heat is wasted up a chimney. With individual thermostats there's no need to overheat the whole house to make one room comfortable. Weather and wind direction Won’t affect your comfort. It's the ideal answer for hard-to-heat areas in your present home...that cold bedroom, a draughty bathroom. Electric heat- ing units can be installed anywhere, anytime. quickly, easily and inexpensively in a size and capacity exactly suited to your particular need. Electrical Contractors and Hydro are working together in conjunction with the Government’s Winter Works pro- ggmi. Their efforts are aimed at mak- jng it. easy for you to enjoy the ad- vantages of electric heat without delay. Your Qualified Electric Heating Com tractor is trained to serve you.

It is felt the members of the auxiliary should know that the above is entirely the work of their lively publicity director, and for which this correspon- dent takes no credit whatsoever.

The students showed a keen interest in Mr. Mengo's talk and plied him with a variety of questions on all aspects of the country â€" all of which he an- swered with unfailing courtesy, although many of them brought a smile to his lips. He compli- mented the students however, on their knowledge of Africa which was far superior to that of his landlady â€"- who thought Africa was a city of which Ken- ya was a suburb!

Their speaker was. ‘a young man from Kenya, Joy“ epb Mengo. who is in Canada studying at the University of Toronto under the auspices of the African Students Founda-‘ tion. Mr. Mengo's appearance was greeted by warm applause from the students which sign of friendship he appeared to ap: preciate greatly. He gave a straightforward account of Ken- ya, its climate, its people and political structure â€" although this latter is at present in a state of flux. He touched brief- ly on the causes ofthe Mau Mau uprising ten years ago and stat- ed that the people of his coun- try had gone a long way to- wards looking on themselves as Kenyans instead of members of tribal groups. He looks for- ward to the time when the countries surrounding Kenya â€" Tanganyika, Zanzibar and Somalia. as well as others â€" might be united in a federal type of government. He ex- pressed the firm belief that there were enough informed and capable Africans in Kenya for the Kenyans to direct their own destiny and looks forward with confidence to the time when Kenya will be independent.

A coffee party is to be held at the church on February 15th from 10 - 11.30 am. and it is hoped that many guests will meet and greet over a cup of coffee for an hour.
