SPRINGTIME “DON’TS” FOR PAINTING FARM BUILDINGS Farmers are expected to con- tribute a large portion of the esti- mated $57,500,000 to be spent on painting up Canada during 1947, With the adevnt of the spray. gun which facilitates easier painting, the average rural dweller has be- come more paint conscious and is realizing that a good paint job on his buildings not only prolongs their life, but makes his farm a pride to the community. Experts who look at painting with a scientific eye, recommend that buildings when grouped com- pactly around the farm house, should be treated as one unit. They see no rezson why the same color scheme adopted for the house should not be continued, with minor modifications, on the other buildings. Nine basic painting “don’ts” have been laid down to guide those who intend to put a new dress on their buildings this sea- son.

REPORT ROTARY CONFERENCE dieative of the nations in which Rotary operated, ‘was magniti- cent,” said the speaker, The many objectives eponsored by different clubs was illumin- ating, he said. Delegates were advised against too long drawn out a ‘project. “Finish in one year, if at all possible,” Mr. Bath ad- vised, He told of his conversation with the delegate from the newly cre- ated club in Nome, Alaska, who described the flight to Seattle from the northern city. “In Alaska, the Rotary club is spon- soring a hospital, and it is already half completed,” he said. General objectives of the group were contained in a message from one of the speakers: “To work for a better community, to work well together and. to do all the wood things it is possible to do in life.” Tn an endeavour to bring mem- bership to the 100 per eent mark one club pave the care of two rabbits to. the member with the poorest attendance record. These were to be kept until the doubtful honor was bestowed upon another. The rabbits now numbered 78 and the member who had charge of them humourously reported that he was unable to attend meetings at-all due.to the many duties call- ed upon by the rabbit family. J. L. Hobbs, president of the Victoria club, also spoke briefly. He too, spoke of the wonderful timing of the conference details.
