installed full central heating in their buildings. Theirs was basically a warm air system which relied on under-floor ducts and pipes in the walls to worm the villa.


The systems were normally


wood-fired, but in parts of England they used the native coal— a remarkable first for


solid fuel. Britain was c e n t r a l ly


heated for two or three centuries, but when Rome was threatened and the legions withdrawn, we went back to the caveman’s open fire and sm o k e filled draughty rooms.


Fifteen hundred years later


we are only just beginning to enjoy Roman standards of warmth. Some experts believe that within eight years most homes wiil be fully centrally heated and Britain will once again have caught up with the ancient Romans.


Of course during those un-


centraily heated centuries we didn’t freeze to death. The open fire in the middle of the room, which served for cooking and for heating had a very long run.


After a while the fire


moved into a fireplace, which did away with the smoke,

A WOMAN'S VIEW Growing mushrooms


Mrs. Ruth Collinson has an unusual hobby—


Collinson and her husband, of Bellman Farm, Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, have grown them. She estimates that 170 lbs. have been grown in the mushroom house so far this

year. “1 started it as a hobby,"


declared Mrs. Colllnson. Important


The growing procedure is


apparently q u ite simple: Horse manure and straw which is left in the heat until it rots is taken to the mush­ room house to cool down, and the mushroom spawn is broken into pieces and put Into the manure beds about two inohes apart. After a fortnight the casing


soil is put on top. Peat moss and a certain quantity of lime is very important. Five or six weeks should see


the first mushrooms coming through. After that, it takes almost a week for the mush­ rooms to grow to full size. “The majority of the mush­


rooms are taken to the w h o le s a le merchants. I


wouldn’t say it is very profit­


able, but I enjoy the work. “You haven’t finished after


they have been picked either; the holes where the mush­ rooms have been must be


filled in,” she added. Mrs. Collinson loves cook­


ing. “ I make mushroom flans which are made in the usual savoury flan way but with more mushrooms. And I always fry the mushrooms for a little while first.” One of her favourite sup­


of mushroom growing came from Mrs. Collinson’s brother, an expert on mushrooms, who has a farm in> Barrowford. A former secretary, of the


Bolton-by-Bowland Y o u n g Farmers’ Club, Mrs. Collinson and her husband are mem­ bers of the club’s advisory


committee. Mrs. Collinson is an expert

ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW A varied display of embroidery, knitting, crochet work, tat­


ting, floral art, pottery painting and millinery will be exhibited at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition of the Preston Federation of Townswomen’s Guilds on Wednesday, September 25. The exhibition, to be held in the Regency Hall, Blackburn, will be opened by Mrs. W. S. Gray, vice-chairman of the


National Union of Townswomen’s Guilds. In the evening, Mr. Norman Duerden, of Alston Hall, Long-


ridge will present his film of nature, “ A Dream of Spring.” by Anne McDougall


LAUGHTER TIME The hilarious experi­


ences of a .journalist, radio commentator and TV per­ sonality kept members of Clitheroe Evening Towns­ women’s Guild rocking with laughter at their monthly meeting l a s t week, when star of “A Spoonful of Sugar”, Keith Macklin came to speak to them. Keith, described many of


the amusing incidents which had occurred during his career as a rugby commen­ tator, particularly one where he was commentating on a


match between two Northern


teams. His vision of the match


was blurred because of a bad seating position and lighting, and every now and again he would glance at the pro­ gramme and mention a name. He referred to the same

DISPLAY The industrial revolution


found men busily exploring other forms of heating. James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, gave an eariy lead by heating his study with an iron box, filled with steam from a boiler. He used a similar system


to heat a factory in Man­ chester where spare steam was fed into metal pipes which also served as stan­ chions. The Victorians took up his


idea and central heating became the normal form of industrial heating during the nineteenth century. During the 1850’s people


began to try fuels other than coal for home heating. One newspaper in 1854 prophesied correctly that one day homes ttaoughout the • c o u n t r y would be heated by gas. However, the new fuels of


gas and oil, and later elec­ tricity. made their main impact in cooking and light­ ing rather than in heating. The early nineteen hun­


dreds saw the development of gas, oil and electric heating, and before long full central heating began to appear. However, it was not until


but probably increased the heat loss and stepped up the


draughts. At about much the same


time as fire-places became normal, that is .fit the fifteenth and sixteenth cen­ turies, dosed stoves were developed. These were both cleaner and more efficient than the open fire. The stove and the open fire developed over the years. In


the case of the open fire it was a question of building smaller grates and more and more elaborate fireplaces. In the case of the stove the most important refinement


was the use of pipes to carry away the smoke and at the same time warm the room. By Victorian times dosed stoves had reached their ornate peak.


around 1960 that central heating b e c am e widely known. At that time there were only about 100,000 systems. Today there are more than three million — a thirty fold increase in under 10 years.

ably the third most impor­ tant purchase of married life, so it deserves to be treated as seriously as choosing a house or a car. There are three impor­


tant q u e s t io n s to be answered: 1, Which fuel; 2, which system and 3, who will install it?


The first step in answering


these questions is to decide which parts of the house are to be heated and to what temperatures. As a rough guide, living rooms should be 70 to 75 degrees F (21 to 24 degrees C), bedrooms and bathrooms 60 to 65 degrees F (15.5 to 18 degrees C) and


halls and passages 55 to 60 degrees F (12.5 to 15.5 degrees C).


Next work out the cubic


capacity of each room in cubic feet and then multiply by 5 Btu/h to determine likely heat loss. The total of all these sums will give you a rough guide as to the size of boiler required.


I f you want your system


to deliver hot water you should add between 8,000 and 15,000 Btu/h depending on your family’s demands far hot waiter. A 40,000 Btu/h system will


heat the average size house quite adequately. A larger system will be required if you want hot water as well. Having done your calcula­


tions you will have a fair idea of what sized system you require. The next step is to visit tiie showrooms run by the four fuel industries or by installers. Of course if you have


already chosen the fuel (gas, oil, solid fuel or electricity), you can narrow the search down even further. You should also study the adver­ tisements in the local and national papers and write for installers’ brochures and leaflets. By now ybu will have


e n o u g h information to decide what fuel and what type of system will suit your


home. You are now ready for the third step—obtaining written specifications and estimates from trained and experienced installers. Choosing the instailer is


as important as choosing the system. You want someone with a good locai or national reputation, who is able to guarantee go o d servicing facilities. M a k e sure that the


installer has adequate know­ ledge of the system of your choice. The fuel industries maintain lists of approved installers. Finally, when you are satisfied that the installer is

suitable, ask him for a written estimate and speci­ fication. This document is the legal basis of the con­ tract between you and the installer. This is the time to make


sure you have a full guarantee, coupled with a proper maintenance system. These three steps— 1, esti­


mate size of system, 2. study the fuels and types of systems by visiting show­ rooms and writing for brochures and 3, choose a reputable installer — should help you pick the right fuel, the right system and the right installer.
