PAINT SERVICE INC
 POPULAR STORE
Candy and Green We'll Known PrOprietOrs of
 New Business House

The Paint Service, Inc, is consid- cred one of the most progressive paint stores in Waterbury. The firm is loated at 262 West Main street and is owned and operated by Will liam Candy and Francis Green both of whom are well known here in Waterbury.
 While the firm has only been in business for comparatively short time, nevertheless, since the time the company first started selling paint and wall paper to the resi- dents of Waterbury and surrounding towns, it has grown with such leaps and bounds that today 1t rates with the best paint stores in town.
 Both MT. Green and MT. Candy are very well known in Waterbury where they have many friends. Both gentlemen have had considerable ex- perience catering to the needs of the people and in their own business they can naturally cater to those needs much better than if they were employed by some one else.
 Customers will find the Paint Service, Inc, a good firm to do bus mess with, the high quality of the merchandise they carry and the moderate prices which they ask are bound to make this progressive firm enjoy continued success.

STEEL CURES ADD
 CLASS TO DRIVES

A trim appearance is given paths and driveways by employing steel curbing.
 Steel curbing can be easily in- stalled by anyone. The edging, painted green, is of sturdy construc- tion but flexible enough to be bent to conform to the curves in drives or lawns. It is available in various sizes and at various prices. For driyeways curbing inches wide and three-sixteenths of an inch thick is usually found satisfactory. For paths curbing 3 inches wide by three sixteenths of an inch thick will suffice. The curbing comes in 20- foot lengths.
 Steel stakes are attached to the curbing at intervals which anchor it tightly when loose earth is pack ed in around the stake.

NAUCATUCK FIRM
 OFFERS NEW PLAN

The George Wigglesworth and Son Company, Inc, located at 163 Maple street in Naugatuck has a very unique plant under which any per- son can now completely install new or better plumbing and heating fa- ciliites. At the present time there are a great many homes in which there is adequate heating and plumbing, these homes would remain in this same delapidated condition if it were not for the progressiveness ofg such firms as the Wigglesworth Company.
 Under the new plan now featured by the Wigglesworth Company a person needs only to pay a small amount down and the balance can be arranged in small monthly pay mentS. This plan is under the F. H. A. for further particular inquire of the firm owners.

DINING ALCOVES | MINIMIZE LABOR

Small kitchens and breakfast ale coves have been found to minimize the work of the housewife. The old fashioned large kitchen, glowingly referred to as "roomy," meant extra steps.
 Many home owners are borrowing money from a bank or other private financial institution which operates

QUESTIONS
 AND ANSWERS

c. Does wallboard make a satis- factory interior finish? A. Generally speaking, 1t does. There are many acceptable ways of covering the joints. e. The porch posts of my Sum- mer cottage have begun to rot at the bottom. Will I have to replace them entirely2
 A. Not necessarily. If they are not too far gone, the bad portions may be cut away and replaced. Place the post on an elevated masonry or concrete base. It will prevent rotting.
 Q. I am anxious to put in bath room on the top floor of my three story home. Can you tell me how much it will cost2
 r A. It would be best for you to call in 8 reliable plumber and have an estimate made for you.
 @. Although I have replaced the putty in our kitchen door several times, it continues to fall out. Should the panes be held tightly in place with some other material than putty?
 A. Wood beads should be used to hold glass in doors. Have car- penter do this for you.
 O. When more than one hot water tap is being used the others all shut of. Can this be corrected so that hot water can be gotten all over the house at the same time if wanted?
 A. This condition indicates that the water capacity has been re- duced, most likely by clogging either in the heater itself or in the main pipe from the heater. It is possible that this condition may be corrected by cleaning. Consult a reliable plumber.

Practical Suggestions

One of the newest decorative wallpapers, best suited for dining rooms, comes in typical wedge- wood blue with white figures.
 Combined with drapes of the same shade, with mirrored walls, the result is highly unusual and pleasing. The design is also to be had in the other conventional wedgewood tones.
 When wood shingle roof needs replacement both time and labor can be saved by putting down the new roofing over the worn shin- gleS.
 By so doing stiffness and heat resistance are increased and dirt inside and outside the house, usu- ally to be encountered during reroofing job, avoided.
 Replacement materials can be of any type provided the roof con- structiOn is strong enough to carry the additional weight.
 Funds with which to finance roofing may be obtained from private financial institutions op- erating under the Property I'm prOvement Credit Plan of the Fed eral Housing Administration.
 Sticking drawers in dressers, ta- bles, and other pieces of furniture are due to swelling of the sides and bottoms. With the increased dampness of the air, the wood of the bottoms and sides will expand and result in tco tight 8 fit.
 Slight sicking of drawers can be corrected by rubbing the edges of the drawers with paraffin. If the defect is bad, they may be shaved down with 8 plane, filed, or sand- papered. Rubbing both the edges and the parts against which they slide with paraffin should follow.
 When a house is being built it is wise to insist upon the best the market affords in the way of . sash cord and to use good, heavy, tight-fitting pulley wheels. When buying house these items should be carefully checked.
 It is not easy to change a sash cord. The stop bead-the strip of molding that keeps the sash in place - must be removed and if there are weatherstrips, these also must be taken out in order to reach the weight. An examination at the time of purchase might save the new owner from future ann0yances.
 It is good idea to check all sash cords from time to time. If worn places are found, the cord may be changed before it breaks.

 Final estimate on the school building contract was reported ready and shows $5,581.30 due Con- tractor Peterman to finish up with him. Final PWA grant has been okeyed; that leaves just $21.30 for the city to dig up. Council voted to notify Peterman by mail that necessary repairs to stop leaks around chimney or wherever they exist must be made before final settlement will be made. Additional work on the spillway at the dam, which was authorized at previous meeting was referred to but start ing the job awaits temporarily re- ceipt of WPA funds, already ap- piled for.
 Chairman Banner, of the Com mittee on Streets, made the recom- mendation that the street grader be rigged up with running lights for work on the streets under con- ditions of snow and darkness dur ing the winter months. In the in- terests of economy, Mayor Kilburn advised investigation of the costs before making commitment to have the light system put on. Balog, of the Fire and Water Committee, discussed the need of additional hose for use in the case of emer- gency but until such time as it is available the fire department would restore to fire use as much street hose as possible.
 A reported failure of the street lights clock to work properly was considered. It was decided to rem edy the matter by having box with a lock built around the instru- ment to prevent having it sub jected to manual control.

Commission
 0n Reindeer
 Makes Survey
Members Arrived at Fair banks from Nome
 Leave for Seward

After a period of nearly two months in the reindeer areas of Alaska, members of the special committee of Congress which has been studying the problem involved in the proposed purchase of all reindeer in the Territory for the natives arrived in Fairbanks last Friday evening.
 The party flew from Nome in the PA Electra, and left Fairbanks Saturday by speeder for Mckinley Park, thence for Seward en route to Washington to formulate re- port to be laid before the next session of Congress.
 Members of the party are c. E. Rachford, Assistant U. s. Forester, Chairman of the committee; Dr. L D. Wilson, of the Virginia Poly technical Institute; Frank H. Reeds, of Grand Junction, Colorado, for 20 years city editor of the Daily Sentinel of that city; Len Cubber- ley, secretary and disbursing of- ficer
 Ray Dame, photographer, who was with the party in the reindeer area, returned to Fairbanks recently and proceeded to points along the Alaska Railroad to take photo graphs for the government.
 Visit Many Points
 Since leaving Fairbanks for Nome June g, the committee visited Nome, Nunivak Island, Kotzebue, and numerous other towns and na- tive villages along the Bering Sea, in the Seward Peninsula region and the hinterland Reindeer round-ups were attended, many herds inspect ed, and estimates cast of the num- Der of deer, and a survey made of the situation generally.
 The committee plans to spend several days in Seattle before pro- ceeding to Washington to formulate its report. It is expected the report will be ready in December or Jan- uary.
 The last session of Congress ap- propriated $2,0OO,OOO for the pur- chase of the reindeer from the white owners of Alaska, including the Laplanders who introduced the herds into the country. The owners will be paid on a basis of valuation to be recommended by the con- mittee.

Must Amend Game
Laws to Get Fund

Montana's fish and game depart
ment can obtain additionally S92,-
900 a year from the federal gov
eminent if the state law requiring
the department to turn over $500
annually to the livestock commission
is amended, State Warden James E..
Weaver points out. The money
would be turned over to the state
as its share of proceeds of the fed
eral excise tax on guns and am
munition. However, the govern
ment requires it to be spent solely
for fish and game propagation. The
state law requires the department
to surrender $500 annually to the
livestock commission to pay boun-
ties on predatory animals. Attorney
General Fl. J. Freebourn has ruled
the law diverting the money is in
valid and the procedure is merely a
transfer, but until the law is so
amended on the statute books Uncle
Sam won't ''kick-in' with the $92,-
900, Weaver has been informed by
the federal biological survey.
