‘ of this typewriter for the last
+15 minutes with a very
pensive look on my face,
itrying to form a mental
‘layout of this week’s
‘column. One of the junior
‘editions came along and
:asked how much I had

: page was the title. With so
imuch activity going on
‘during the week it is
‘sometimes difficult to sort
‘out what is of general in-
terest. However:

The regular monthly
meeting of the B.B.C. was
held last Thursday and the
main items of report are:
The membership approved
the purchase of an _in-
stitutional piano that will be
donated to the Terrace Child
Development Centre. It was
learned that the original
idea, speech therapy
equipment, will be provided
by the government. The
eentre suggested the piano

solid, upright reconditioned
piano was purchased from
Tillicum Keyboards and will
be delivered when the
construction of the centre
has progressed to the stage
where it will not be in the

Four new members were
admitted to the club roll at
that same meeting. One of
these new members,
Mainliner, was the winner of
the Turkey roll on his first
try at it.

Considerable discussion
was entered into with
regard to a “‘club” or sub-
organization for the young
set, children of CB
operators, who are old
enough (12) to operate CB
radios, but have not yet
reached the age (16) that
they must be licensed. Many
of these younger people are
very interested in CB and
are prepared to learn
through doing. A committee
was formed to explore the
feasibility of a separate
group or to have them just
attend the regular meetings
if they are so inclined. Super
Thief suggested the name
“Milliwat Club’, If there
are members of your famil.
that would be interestea,

T had the Opportunity this
week to be able to give some
of those very Important firat
pointers to someone who
was just moving into CB
with his first rig. Please!
When you hear or meet
someone who is jsst getting
into it be helpful. It is far
better to offer aid and in-
struction to one who ob-
viously is green than to bite

off their heads because they
know not what they are
doing.

As last Sunday was Easter
Sunday, the proud owners of
the exotic “Gooney Birds’
staged a parade down
Lakelse Avenue dust prior to
the coffee break. Although
not a Terrace exclusive,
these birds have warmed
their way into the hearts of
all who have observed them
brave the cold, blustery,
squallish ‘Terrace Easter
weather.

In a state of remorse at
having been so slow in
comeback, ‘‘Auntie
Gooney”, Dino, presented
the author (Toolie) through
an intermediary, the perfect
squelch: The Golden Tool
Award. Persons who wish to
see the award may do so by
contacting XM 14-982 ch. 19
days or lower 16 evenings.

Most of us were shocked to
learn several days after it
had happened that Little
Mama broke her ankle in
two places last Tuesday. It
seems that her generosity
really “cost” her in this
case. We are all very sorr
to hear of it Pearl and wis.
you a speedy recovery.

Sunday. They had planned

on returning to their home-

Mass, but stayed for the
“parade” when they heard
about it. It is strange to see
what Dorn looks like with all
his face fuzz gone. Nice

Minister Pierre Trudeau and a telegram from Queen

by Central Mortgage
and Housing Corporation
Small lot housing, a
concept which has. been
around for many years, is
gaining new found
popularity because of
soaring land and house
prices. The idea is a simple
one: make the best possible
use of the least possible

land,

In the so called ‘‘zero lot
line’’ houses, one or more of
the four sides of the house
should be on the property
lines, Conceivably three of
the four sides co’ dbe on the
property lines. The premise

hind this type and all
other small lot housing is to
use land more efficiently to
make it possible for more

eople to afford single
‘amily homes by reducing
development costs.

In recent years because of
the increased costs of
serviced land and the strong
demand for single family
housing, prices have risen to
the point where many
’ ple cannot afford a home
in a conventional sub-
division. Because of this
condition, zero lot line and
other forms of small lot
housing have heen re-
introduced to reduce ser-
vieing and land costs by
providing smaller  in-
dividual lots than those
required for conventional

having them stay for the
break as well.

of conventional lots and yet,
because of the way the units
are placed on the lots, there
are reasonable amounts of
open space.

Small lot housing differs
from conventional heousin

-in that the design of eac

house and its location on the
lotis a major part of overall
design of the neighborhood.
This comprehensive
approach means the houses
are sited on the land in
relation to each other before
the lot lines are drawn in.
Unita are often clustered to
provide the maximum
amount of open space.
However, through careful
use of varied elevations,
tree planting, plus the
erection of screen fencing
and variations in the ex-
ternal finishing of the units,
a large degree of privacy
and individuality is created

for each home.

This same care is exer-
cised in the design of the
neighborhoods themselves.
Most streets are laid outas a
system of cul-de-sacs to

maintenance costs,

The amount of water and
sewer pine can also
reduced because of the
closeness of the houses. One
major sewer line and a
single large watermain
could serve a cluster
homes. . .

Lots in small lot sub-
divisions are graded so run-
off drains into the street and
from there to a storm sewer
outside the cul-le-sac. All
these cost-cutting methods
could save up to 40 percent
in servicing costs.

Because of new CMHC
criteria, Ontario’s Urban
Development Standards and
the city of Winnipeg’s new
zoning category, federal and
provincial housing agencies
are taking a greater role in
the planning and financing
of small lot housing. The

based on the lot sizes as well
as home assessment, they
feel the smaller homes will
bring in less revenue. While
this ig true per individual
house the municipalities will
probably get the same
amount of revenue since
more houses will be built per
acre than are built now wi
larger lots.

Another fear of politicians
is that the housing which is
touted as “low cost” may be
so poorly designed, it will
become a slum after a few
years.
