Housing Question Box

Q.-Smoke from the furnace and
from an oil heater in the basement
of our home has caused consider
able damage to the furniture. How
can this be remedied?
A.-Install a basement ceiling OF
gypsum or asbestos board, plaster
on metal lath or on gypsum plaster
board. A metal ceiling properly fur
red may also be used. Material
coming within two feet of the fur
mace should be metal shielded.
Owe have a metal roof on our
house, whichzwe paint each year
However, the roof now leaks with
every rainfall. The house is one OF
a row having fiat roofs. What would
be the best kind of roof to put on?
A.-The present roof would make
a good foundation for a tar and
gravel roof. However, consult with
your contractor as to the best avail
able material for the job.
Owe are about to put a new
roof on our home. Is il necessary to
remove the old one, or can we lay
the new one on top?
A.-Many of the modern types of
roofing can be applied directly over
wood shingles or other material
Double insulation and reductions of
labor costs result. Loose portions of
the old roof should be made secure
first, however.
Owe have some space in our
attic which we would like to con-
vert into an extra room. How should
we go about this?
Aft the change involves much
structural alteration of your home,
it is suggested that you consult an
architect. Wallboard, lumber or
other material may be used for the
walls and ceiling, or they may be
lathed and plastered. A good quality
flooring should be laid Disappear
ing staircases" are available for
homes which do not have perma-
nent steps to the attic.
Q.-During the recent heavy rain
the water came through our brick
wall. Can you advise me as to treat
ment at a moderate cost for water
proofing?
A.-Have reliable firm check the
brick work on the sides of the house
where the moisture comes in. This
is usually ON one or two exposures,
seldom more. First, the pointing is
Cd talr
en- if necessary. One process of wa
teTproofing used by these firms is TO
glaze the brick surface through the
application of paraffin by steam
pressure. The cost of this operation
is moderate.
Q.-How can l remove spots and
stains similar to water stains from
an oak floor without scraping the |
entire floor?
Aft the stains are only in the !,
wax finish, they can be removed by !
wiping with turpentine, cleaning I
the wax off down to the bare wood. '
Then rewax the bare spots. If the
stains are in the wood, remove the
wax in this way and then treat with
a solution of oxalic acid. After let
ting stand over night, wash all trace
Of the acid and rewax.
-
Q.-Should concrete be treated
before applying paint? !
A.-Before stucco, concrete, or
similar materials are painted with
Ill paints ii is advisable to let them
,tand at least a year to allow them
o dry thoroughly and to give the
ime in the materials sufficient time
o age, thus preventing the painted
urface from being marred.

astures are ready for cattle next

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
A NEED FOR CONCERTED ACTION

We are publishing today an interview given out
by r. L. Gwyn member of the North Carolina
Park-to-Park Highway committee, with reference to
the highway soon to be located and built by the
federal government from the national parks OF
Pennsylvania and Virginia through the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina
and Tennessee. And. as Mr.. Gwyn 50 forcefuliy
points out, the location Of this highway should b.
considered of paramount Importance to every clt'-
zen in this section of North Carolina.
Our readers do not need to be told OF the unsu1-
passed beauty which would be brought to the at
tention of travellers should the road be located
along the top of the Blue Ridge mountains, as so
strenuously advocated by Nh Gwyn and otherz;
but no effort should be spared in convincing those
in authority that the Blue Ridge route is by far the
most logical, both from the standpoint of cheaper
construction and greater scenic beauty TO those
who have always lived among these mountains
their beauty and grandeur are, in measure, every
day and commonplace; it is often the case tina
people who have visited other show places OF the
world grasp the significance of this great asset OF
ours more readily than do. And it Is true that
to some degree. the people of Western North Caro-
lima are not stirring themselves as they should IN
urging the adoption of this route.
1t is also pointed out by Mr.. Gwyn that the pee
Pile of northeastern Tennessee are fighting manfuIy
for the adoption of route which would travers"
their state for several hundred miles and whatever
choice is eventually made between these two routes
will no doubt. depend upon the manner in which
their separate advantages are presented at Wash
ington 1t is quite clear that Mr.. Gwyn has been
notably active in this matter, but 50 far as The
Record is informed. the various civic bodies Ct
Caldwell and other counties along the proposed
route have not done very much along this line. IN
our opinion every organization of any nature wlaE-
ever should food the authorities with requests th@
the route proposed by Mr. Gwyn and his associates
be accepted.
Two very important factors operate in our favor
in this matter. Honorable r. L. DOughton. veteran
congressman from this district, is undoubtedly IN
favor of this location and the Honorable Zebulon
Weaver of the 18th district is not only Favorable
to this route but possesses rst-hand and detailed
information as to the topography Of the countr%,
having worked several years in abStracting titles
for the National Park Commission. We believe
their influence at Washington will mean much to-
ward the adoption Of the Blue Ridge route. but
that the matter is of such import to this section Of
the state that we cannot afford to take any chances
by delay and ndifference.-Lenoir Record

NEW FARMING DEAL

, The farmers of South Carolina. along with other
tillers of the soil Throughout the country face new
problems in connection with changing conditions
and efforts to bring order of agricultural chaos.
Federal relief amounting to many millions is and
must be of temporary nature and when that help
is no longer available the farmers not then pre-
pared to $50 it alone will be left in tough spot.
In that respect what Dr. W. w. Long, director o.
agricultural extension work at Clemson College has
to say is especially significant.
The new DEAF in farming. he says has four
outstanding factors: First more feeds and foods:
second. soil improvement for higher and more eco
nomic yields; third greater attention to quality CT
products; fourth attention to the many phases
Of Sustenance farming and home building"
Those features will mean the difference between
success and failure in future farming. The grow
er who gives heed to them and makes the most Of
the changed situation will find broader, better liv-
ing and greater degree of security and prosperity
Those who refuse to consider them and continue
along the same paths that led to so much distress
in agriculture will get nowhere and will have only
themselves to bame-Anderson IS. c. Mail.

THE STATES BLACK EYE

1t is pretty good prospect that this is to be the
last year of high-coSt automobile tags in North
Carolina. for the existing situation is giving the
state 'black eye which is being discussed abroad
and which is operating as a warning to keep out.
The Hendersonville Times-News relates an incident
that goes to show how the high tag is being viewed
by outsiders. winter visitor to that city, with
an eye to locating there, is delighted with Hen
derSonville"-he likes the people, the town, TIE
country the climate and all other natural advan-
tages of the section-and while his decision to
selection of home will not be controlled by the
size of the North Carolina automobile tag tax, he
points out to The Times-News that decisions in
such cases frequently turn comparatively trivia
matters The stranger believes that one coming
from California and having to pay eight times as
much for automobile licenses here as was paid il
that state, gets bad impression of North Carolina
in addition to the conviction that the automobile
license taxes here are indefenSbly high.
That's just sample of the talk that is going 20
be heard all along the line and it is one reason
why. next year, going to have revision
downward of the tax automobile license plates.
