Detroiters Battle
Paralysis With
Mile Of Dimes

Brother, II you can spare a dime,
drop around to the Mile O. Dimes
booth on Campus Martius and do
your part in The Detroit Times
Radio Station WXYZ campaign to
raise funds to fight infantile
paralysis.
The mile OF dimes Is growing
rapidly. Despite the inclement
weather of the first two days of
the campaign there has hardly
been a minute during the daytime
hours when some person has not
been aiding the line of dimes inch
toward the goal of one mile, or
SS,987.
Fund workers reported that TO
date 1858 has been contributed.
Yesterday more than $243 was COL
lected.
Many of the contributors have
been infanitile paralysis victims
and included among these was a
4-year-old girl who limped bravely
up to the booth holding her
mothers hand. She carefully
placed three dimes in one of the
slots.
THINK IT'S WONDERFUL
I'VE want TO do our little bit
in helping the campaign" eX-
planned the mother. I'VE know
what suffering InfantiIe paralysis
can cause and we think IL il
wonderful that something Is be-
ing done TO lessen the danger Of
this awful disease"
Many persons have contributed
quarters and half dollars and dol
lars at the booth and to provided
for these gifts 4S milk bottles will
be placed in slots in the booth.
Each bottle is to bear the name
of state and should you have a
favorite state you place your con-
tribution in that bottle.
Also aiding in the collection of
dimes is the UAW-CIO. President
r. J. Thomas has announced that
more than 5000 union committee
men and shop stewards will collect
dimes for the campaign Monday,
January u.
ASKS TO KEEP RECORD
The UAW-CIO has a record
for supporting every humane
and progressive endeav or."
Thomas said. II urge every
member of the-saion TO contri-
butte TO the March OF Dimes
through his local union. =.
"Shop stewards and commit
teemen will circulate blanks
through which our members may
greet our great President on his
birthday and at the same time
contribute 10 the fight against a
dread disease"
The Mile o Dimes drive ends
February l and at that time the
money VIII be turned over 10 the
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis. Inc. as a feature OF
President Roosevelt's birthday
celebration. The dime booth is
open daily from s a. m. until mid
night and WXYZ will hold fire.

birch, maple, fir or redwood, and
will work well on old woods only If
the old finish has been completely

to a light color. All nail holes should
be filled in with the best grade
Of white putty.
1t is also recommended, to make a
bangup finish, that coat Of new
and very special clear finish be ap-
piled over the dye coat. This new
material produces satiny finish,
and lays the nap of the wood and
seals it so that you are sure of get
ting the finest possible looking job.
1t is made of one of the now popular
synthetic resins and not only beau-
titles but makes 1t waterproof as
well.
Allowed to Dry Over Night.
After the dye coat has been al
lowed to dry over night this new
clear finish Is. put on with q lint-free
cloth and rubbed rather strenuously
into the grain Of the wood. This
coat is then rubbed down, after
which 1t in turn dries over night and
is then finished of with a brushed

buffed to a pleasantly dull finish or
polished to a luster.
A supply Of fresh air Is often very
hard to obtain in an average room

New Type Of Finish
Changes PIywoods
Into Many Shades
Makers Declare Stuin
Con Be Applied Simply
With Ordinary Brush
By LAWRENCE CROLIUS.

Ordinarily 1lr plyWood, or any
one of the many plywoods which
have become so popular recently
for wall paneling, furniture and cab
met work, can now be handsomely
finished in a wide selection of col
ors Stimulating different plain and
fancy woods. A new dye type Of
wood Is now available which is said
to be totally unlike any other finish,
making it possible for you to deco
rate the wood paneling of your
game room or den with colors rang
ing from plain maple to one of the
more novel woods like cactus green
or cinnamon.
According to the makers Of this
new finish, it is a simple matter to
put 1t on, as it is merely applied
over carefully cleaned and sanded
surfaces with a brush and need
not be wiped of. as most ordinary
stains. The finish goes on smoothly
and evenly and covers the work with
ease with only one coat, and the
color effects which can be obtained
are really remarkable, the makers
say. For example, if you have al
ways wanted a walnut-paneled IL
brary and have deprived yourself
of it because of the cost, you can
now go hog wild and have it by the
simple process of putting up mex
pensive plywood and dy tinting it
with this new material.
Other COlOrs i'm Finish.
Game rooms can be made things
of beauty and brightness by deco
rating them with honey color, or
possibly driftwood or sandalwood.
Other colors include platinum. blond,
mahogany and light oak, and one
goes on just as easily as the other.
Door and window trim which would
ordinarily be stained or enameled
can now be decorated in any one Of
these clever colors with a resultant
increase in the overall attractive
ness of the room. They work in
particularly well with modern wall
paper colors, and any Of the pastel
paints which are being used a great
deal for wall-area decoration.

Interesting Ways to Brighten Rooms
And Bring Your House TO Life
BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

If you have a budget for some
thing new for the house. this is the
time to invest in it. One of the best
ways to get a new outlook on life IS
the acquisition of new touch in the
room to brighten it up. Most women
buy a new hat this time of year
and manage to keep cheerful until
spring. The same idea might add
a light touch to your house which
would influence all the members
of the family.
One of the quickest and surest
touches is to bring in some green
growing things. If you have a sunny
window in your dining room or
wide window sill in the living room,
pots of Towering plants or small
window boxes filled with Towering
and trailing things with lots of color
will almost make over the whole
room. You won't care if the dra-
peries do look shabby-or the rug
shows the wear and tear of snowy
feet-with your eye fastened on a
window full of azalea or geraniums
or African violets.
How to Change Mantel.
Have you used the same mantel
decoration since you lived in your
house? This time of year the fire.
place is the focal point of the whole
room and its eye appeal is greatly
enhanced with a change in color
scheme or outline every so often.
Instead of picture and candles,
try mirror to reflect the room.
Place low bowl in front of the mir
ror with spreading flower arrange
ment, with ivy and other trailing
things which will carry across the
whole mantel. A collection Of the
adorable small Chinese animals or
figures that can be purchased for so
little, with all their gay color and
charm, will bring fresh interest to
the room.
This is the happiest time to get
fresh new bedroom curtains or a
gay hooked rug to add color to these
