WILKIE'S ORCHESTRA Proposed bylaw to be brought be fore a special meeting of city council at 5:00 pin. Tuesday will not mean that CCC and Texas-type prefabricated Dawson Creek huts cannot be used in house construction but will require changes in outer appearance, city commis- goners stated Monday in a report ur me uieewu8. Any extra cost involved In meet ing the proposed additional minimum standards would not be sufficient to discourage any intending purchaser from buying the prefabricated material," they say. "The material in the CCC huts is being usea connection wun me erecuon of the 400 suites under the provincial-city agreement for veterans' housing but in this case the finished suites will be considerably higher than the additional minimum standards required. "These proposed amendments to the building bylaw provide a wider range of.

essential minimum standards and will give a reasonable measure of protection to owners of existing buildings. Any increase in cost Involved in meeting the additional minimum standards should not discourage anyone even those in the low income class from building their own home," the report concludes. Location Specified One of the amendments requires the location of a dwelling not less than 25 feet from the lane at the rear of the lot. Commissioners said this amendment was proposed because some owners have insisted on erecting their homes practically at the rear of the lot, causing complaints from other home-owners in the block, Another section contains the specific additional minimum standards which are based largely on the National Building code. Certain subsections acually reduce the existing standards contained in the present building bylaw.

The section requires rooms in the house meet minimum floor areas and minimum widths such as: living room, 150 square feet, 10 feet wide; dining room, 80 square feet, eight feet wide; kitchen, 50 square feet, five feet wide; first bedroom, 110 square feet, nine feet wide; additional bedroom, 80 square feet, seven feet wide. Combination Rooms Combination rooms must meet these requirements: living and dining room, 190 square feet, 10 feet wide; living and bedroom, 200 square feet, 10 feet wide; kitchen and dining room, 90 square feet, seven feet wide; living, dining and bedroom, 230 square feet, 10 feet wide; living, dining and kitchen, 230 square feet, 10 feet wide. A combination room cannot be divided other than by a beam in the ceiling or cabinets not over four feet high. Other minimum measurements are provided for kitchen alcoves, ceiling heights and storage space of at least 150 square feet for each family housing unit. Another section relating to privacy requires that bathrooms shall be entered only from a bedroom hall, except in dwellings having one bedroom in which case the bathroom may be entered from the bedroom.

In dwellings containing two or more bedrooms, to at least one bedroom must be by way of a bedroom hall. Regarding window space, a section requires that each room have a window or windows opening directly on a street or yard. The glass area must be at least one-tenth of the floor area of the room and at least half the glass area must be hinged or sliding to allow opening. Ventilation Required Outside windows may bs omitted in bathrooms and toilet rooms where a ventilated shaft connected to the outside is provided, in breakfast or kitchen alcoves, pantries or storage rooms if these are ventilated. Skylights are prohibited.

Another section of the proposed amendments requires that all property, served by the city electric power distribution system must be connected to the service with one or more lighting outlets or fixtures provided in all habitable rooms and bathrooms. Other similar requirements are listed In the amendments regarding heating facilities, general construction, vestibules, halls and stairs. If council authorizes the proposed amendments, a complete and detailed list can be obtained from the city building department. Parked Motor Car Looted by Thieves C. A.

SPECIAL OLD-TIME DANCE TONIGHT At the Is Emphasizes Need To Improve Labor Governments and industries must how more humanity in their dealings with today's problems of labor, rehabilitation, and old-age pensions, said Rev. Canon Crane-Williams in his address to the All Saints' congregation, Sunday morning.

In attendance at the service were 25 members of the 1914 Red Chevron of Edmonton, veterans who volunteered and wnt overseas in the first year of the First Great War. Drawing on the parable of the Vineyard owner who paid helpers equal wages for varying periods of work in the harvest of the ripe grapes, the minister pointed out that it? is still a man's privilege to do what he will with his money, with proper respect for the equal needs of every man, and the teachings of the Bible. Cost Not Counted The economics of the Kingdom of God. said the minister, do not count the cost when the needs of man are in the balance. Modern society, with its emphasis on profit And wage scales, is missing the way and ignoring the Christian method discrepancies of today when a Hollywood star receives iabulous wages for short appearances and educated girls working our hospitals lor next to nothing are blots on the face of society.

All non-profitable industries and businesses that cannot pay a living wage to workers should be state-subsidized said the speaker. Never arain must we have artists and musicians working at manual tasks because a living" is denied them In their own fields. Use of Taxation Another anti-social develonment In industry today, said Canon Crane-Williams, is the huge revenue made by companies such as the brewers while employing a comparatively 6mall number of people. The government should use taxation as an instrument of equalization, he caid. In the o.uestions of rehabilitation and pensions the government must realize continually that the needs of man who Is able to do only an hour's work are the same as a man who can do a full day's work.

Furthermore, said the minister, men must not be pushed into any job. God has given every man a talent and an ability. It is the Christian duty of those in authority to try to place men so that his talents are used at the highest level. The contingent of 1914 Red Chevron members marched from the church preceded by their color party in charge of R. J.
