Pioneers Regarded
Painting as Crime

Paint, now recognized as a pro-
lection and beautifier. was con-
sidered sign of worldliness and
vanity in early New England. In
1880 a clergyman of CharleStown,
Mass, was hailed before the city
council, charged with the serious
crime Of painting the interior Of
his house. During the next 40
years there was not a painter In
all New England.

For Ceiling Paints

While white and cream are
widely used in painting ceilings.
a pale color is usually more in
teresting from a decorative point
of view, according to the Guide
Book of Painting and Vanishing" !"
A paler shade of the wall color
or a pale shade of an analogous
color is said to be more suitable
to the general scheme of room

must be taken in winter as
we'll as in summer to preserve

L|GHTEN WORK

Leading Washing'"~ Builders
Include New Equipment
in Home Designs

The outstanding success OF
homes with G.E electric kitchens
in new communities is evidence
of the appreciation of the modern
housewife for labor-saving equip
ment that gives greater clean
illness, comfort and efficiency Of
operation and adds to the decora-
tive scheme of the home execu-
tive's workshop.
Prominent Washington build
ers, including w. C. & A. N.
Miller, Shannan & Luchs De-
velopment Co., Loughborough

gan, Inc, Cooper c. Lightbown

ment Co., U. S. Randle and the
Chevy Chase Land Co., use G-E
elecrtic kitchens, planned in CO.
operation with the National Elec-
trio Supply Co., who furnished
the G-E equipment.
These kitchens meet the speci-
fications of the General Elec-
trio Company Kitchen Planning
Institute. This, feature has real
merchandising value for in most
cases the sale of a home depends
to a great extent on an attrac-
tive and practical kitchen.
Ample Light
In the G-E kitchen there is
usually a grouping of the sink,
and built-in cabinets around a
window which gives ample light
for the preparation Of meals and
forms an artistic arrangement.
There is ample space for the
storage Of china, silverware and
cooking utensils with compart-
ments in drawers and plenty of
shelf space to take care of the
housewives requirements. There
are also special closets for vacuum
sweepers. mops and other clean
ing equipment. Such compact
units save many steps and much
time during the day for every
thing is right at hand including
most foodstuffs which are not
kept in the refrigerator.
Well Decorated
In the matter of decoration,
the modern housewife feels that
her kitchen is as important as
any other room in the home and
since she spends a considerable
portion Of the day in this room,
she desires that it's color har-
monies shall be pleasing to the
eye and form a cheerful and
bright place to work. The color
schemes generally selected are
two-toned ivory, ivory and green,
black and white and blue and
gray, while in many cases a
more moderniStic note prevails
with richer color combinations
in sharper contrast.
Attractive patterns Of inlaid
linoleumS harmoniZing with the
general color scheme are most
widely used. Walls are either
painted or papered in washable
wall paper. Of course, there are
numerous convenience outlets
lights properly placed in the cen
ter Of t. kitchen, over the sink
and at the range, a G-E venti
lating fan to provide a circulat'
ing current of fresh air and a
G-E electric clock to assist the
housewife in scheduling her daily
routine.
The Washington times., 1933-12-09
WATER PAINT ON WALL

Walls covered with Soiled or
worn wall paper may be refin-
ished with q single coat Of cold
water paint. The color may be
applied directly to the paper
after all loose pieces have been
glued down. Water paints, used
extensively at the Worlds Fair,
may be mixed to make any de-
sired tint or shade.

PAINT PLUMBING FIXTURES

Painting the outer surfaces of
old plumbing fixtures, sinks,
tubs, etc, serves to freshen their
appearance considerably. Two
coats of white enamel make a
good finish for a sink or basin,
and aluminium or bronze paint
may be used for the faucets.

ADVERTISED DAUGHTERS

The Mennonites, religious sect
living in Eastern Pennsylvania,
once had a custom of painting
their front doors a bright blue to

hood that a marriageable daugh-
ter lived within the house.

Special Paint Used
For Each Purpose

Various surfaces require differ
ent types of paints. Exterior work
requires special exterior paint; in
terror work, paint prepared for
that purpose: floors to be painted
should be given two or three coats
Of special floor paint. The dealer
should be consulted on the pur-
poses to which paint is to be put.

AUTOMOBILE STRUCK BY
EXPRESS TRAIN

The northbound Federal Elk
press on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, running at a high
rate of speed, struck and COM
pletely demolished an automo-
bile on the grade crossing at
Charlestown, Wednesday night
last. The auto was carried on
the front of the locomotive for
a distance of a quarter of a
mile before the train could be
brought to a stop.
1t isRnot known how the ac-
cident occurred, but it is pre-
sumed the machine stalled as
it reached the crossing when
the occupants had barely
enough time to escape being
struck, as there was no evil
dence of anyone being in the
automobile when the accident
occurred.
The locomotive was badly
damaged by the impact and
was replaced with another en-
CINE when the train reached
Wilmington.

UPSET

e. Nelson James, of this

ence Saturday afternoon, while
returning from Oxford, Pa, in
his auto. When near the Oaks
the driver of a car just ahead
of Mr.. James signalled his in
tention of turning out of the
line of traffic. Despite the fact
that Mr.. James was driving
slowly, ON account of the snow
storm that prevailed, when he
applied breaks his car skidded
to the roadside and went down
three-foot embankment, turn
ing over on it's side.
Mr.. James was unable to get
out of his car until passing
Iautoists came to his assistance,
released him and righted the
machine.
Strange to say the only in
iuries he suffered were a few
minor scratches, nor was his
machine damaged, and he was
able to proceed to his home,
The only casualty" was the
breaking of six quart bottles of
milk and the loss of their, con-
tents.

WELFARE WORK IN CECIL
COUNTY
Aid Given Needy Families
Social Service Cases

| At quarterly meeting Of the
Cecil County Welfare Associa-
ton held in Elkton, with rep
resentatives from five out Of
the nine districts in the county
present, a report of Miss
Beardsell, the director, showed
that during December, 81 Soc
ial service cases were handled,
exclusive of relief work. There
are % children under the care
of the association.
The financial situation was
not satisfactory due, probably,
to the fact that leaders in most
districts are emphasizing their
own relief work, and are not
able to contribute to the coun-
ty-wide work. The teachers Of
the schools in the county, re-
sponded generously to the APP
peal for help.
The Red Cross flour and
clothing have aided the work.
The splendid donation Of 143
pairs of shoes and stockings
for children also helped.
From the reports read by the
district chairman, it appears
that the county can meet the
needs of those who are in want,
with the exception of Elkton.
That community presents the
most serious unemployment
problem, with "a families hav-
ing appealed to the association
for help within the past two
months. A plan Of giving
work is being tried out with
the cooperation of the Elkton
Town Council.
North East has the most
complete organization, and is
handling it's problem efficiently
by providing work, one or two
days each week, for about 80
men. It has 6S members who
contribute 81 each Per month
to carry on it's relief program.
The Rising Sun committee
takes care of it's own district,
also the Conowingo district.
So far, through the efforts Of
the Lions Club, it has been
able to supply most needs from
donated supplies. They also
are provided with funds to
carry on their work until
spring.
In other districts no work
has been arranged, some of the,
units having called on the
county organization to assist
or advise in difficult cases and
are using help and suggestions
given them by the county di-
rector, Miss Beardsell.
