How to Fill Nail Holes

For filling exposed nail holes
many decorators use pure yellow
beeswax or tinted non shrinking
filters rather than oil putty, which
is apt to leave oil rings unless a
linAed oil stain is used. The fill
ing Nof nail holes is usually done
after the stain coat and before the

In a small, neat bedroom of a
top floor rent, a man, not yet
forty, watched ray of sunlight
lengthen across the floor. 1t al
most reached the middle square
in the rug.
Shell be coming now" he said,
talking to himself.
He pulled the covers straight,
brushed back his hair, and lay
there listening, his thin, white
face alert to every sound.
That's her" - as a step sound
ed on the stair. A Visiting Nurse
opened the door and called out
CHEEKY Good morning."
well how did it go last
night?, she asked, as she opened
her bag and took out her apron.
''Not too bad. I really slept

Alice leave for work"
80 you haven't had breakfast
yet? Well, Well take care of that
as soon as We have you washed up
a bit. You didn't try to get up?"
mo promised Alice I wouldn't
do that again until the doctor
says I can
That man is not going to get
well. He does not know it, but
his wife does. She knows, too,
that there are long weeks of Suf-
fering ahead for him. Yet she
dares to leave him, to continue
working, keeping the little home
together, because Waterbury has
a Visiting Nurses Association.
She leaves the house every
morning with the assurance that
before long a nurse will be there
to make him as comfortable as
possible, check on his condition,
and report to his doctor if nee
esSary
Our contributions to the Visit
ing Nurses Association make this
service possible. Let's all give it
our full support.

him at the same time. What a
time we had hiding them from
each other!"
The nurse carefully turned her
patient over. Her old eyes fell
on the hugh highboy that crowd
ed the other side OF the room.
The reminiscing began again.
That highboy there-we could
not afford to buy it at first, and
little Dannie was 10 before we
finally got it. His father wasn't
one to charge things. We kept
saving our dimes and nickels
and then when we'd have just
about enough, something would
happen to on" of the children
and we ,,ould have to start all
over again. It's nice, isn't it,"
Over and over again the nurse
heard the stories told, for her
patient was partially paralyzet

was q long one. But a day came

Though the fire at the Bethany
Airport Saturday afternoon lasted
but 20 minutes, six planes were
totally destroyed and is others
wheeled to safety. Damage was es-
timated at approximately $4,000
which $500 was the value Of the
ruined ships. The remainder was the
value of the hangar and equipment
which was destroyed.
The cause of the blaze has not
been ascertained, but the sabotage
possibility was dropped by Francis
B. Field, head of the Bethany Ali
Service, who claims he can see little
of anything to be gained in running
privately property.
The hangar was not insured. 1t is
