Paper Paint Cans Help
War Conservation Program,

Paper paint cans are the paint
industry's latest contribution 70
the war conservation drive. S. H.
Price. manager Of the Sherwin-
Williams store at 2036 Woodward
avenue. revealed Saturday.
Already in production in the
quart size, and soon 10 be pro-
duced in gallons. the new contain
ers have metal tops and bottoms
and mprcgnated cardboard bodies
The new can uses no tin at all
According 10 Price. the Shcrwin-
Williams Company stopped using
tin several years ago when cngi-
neers Al its Chicago can plant
found that alloy coated plate made
just as good paint cans,
The greatest obstacle in develop
ing the paper can was finding a
method Of moiSture-proofing the
cardboard so that IL wouldn't soak
up the oils and solvents in paint
This problem was finally solved by
chemically treating the cardboard
and lining il with a special impreg-
mated paper.
While the company does not
claim that the new substitute con.
tainer is as good AS an all-metal
can. the paper can has been put
+ through a series Of strenuous tests
and has proved its ability TO with.

Lace Net Used

. This clever amateur decorator
used lace net and a butterfly pat
termed chintz. The lace made full
brief curtains, draped back in a
high V, a full gathered skirt for
the dressing table shelf, and a
fiounce for the bench. The chlntz
was used plain on top Of the shelf
and covered with glass, also
quilted TO make a narrow valance
mounted on the cornice above the
window.
\ This valance was duplicated in
"a narrow quilted chintz yoke over
the lace skirt of the dressing
table, and a cushion for the bench
was also made Of the quilted
chlntZ.
The set-up was completed with
a large makeup box that had a
good mirror in the top, solving the
problem OF a dressing table, mir
ror and a place for cosmetics at
H., same time Pin-up lamps,
placed at about the height Of reg
uiar dressing table lamps, pro-
ylded a good light.

Host and Hostess
Chairs Solve Problem

A popular number 10 invite for
dinner seems TO be eight, and host
eSSes may wonder what to do
when they have only six chairs in
their dining set. 1t is very smart
70 add an upholstered host and
hostess chair at opposite ends OF
the table Indeed. the use Of these
upholstered dining chairs is right
when only six arc served.

SENTENCING OF KENNEDY
POSTPONED FOR 6 MONTHS

According to the Roanoke
Times of Tuesday, Judge John
Paul, in u. S. Court at Big Stone
Gap, allowed Napoleon Bonapart
Kennedy, we'll known in Dicken-
son county, six months addition
al time to clear up his business
before passing sentence on a
check kiting charge.
Kennedy, along with others,
was indicted in Federal court IN
Roanoke in early 1941, and SEN
tence was deferred at the trial
at Big Stone Gap in order 10
rive him time to wind up his
personal affairs.
Kennedy testified for the gov
eminent during the October term
# the court in a case involving
the kiting of $40 checks, totaling
81, 1890 between Virginia banks,
some of them passing through
the Clintwood bank.
When Kennedy was called fol
sentence, President Smith of the
Cumberland Bank & Trust Com
pany, testified that Kennedy has
been iquidating his loans with
on unpaid balance of less than
$4,000.
Judge Paul, in allowing Ken
, nedy six additional months be-
fore sentence is passed, declared
the court would not countenance
q continuous pOstponement of sen
| tence in order to liquidate the in
debtedness. Howard Gilmer, a.,
sistant district attorney, stated
the prosecution by agreeing to ad
| ditional time would not allow the
| case to be dropped.

In Memory of Fon Mullins

This old world seems so lonely
Since God called you away,
But, dear husband and son, we
are preparing to meet you
In that bright home some day.
Sunshine passes, shadows fall,
Loves remembrance outlasts
all.
Nothing but memories as we
journey on,
Longing for smile from a
loved one gone.
None knows the depth Of deep
regret,
But, son, we will remember
when others forget.

President Sends Iron Cross
To Newspopermun by Proxy

President Roosevelt today handed
a Nazi Iron Cross to a radio COM
mentator at his press conference
with instructions to deliver it to a
newspaper columnist for something
published in his column about a
former newspaper colleague now
serving in the Army Air Transport
Command.
The Iron Cross was on the Chief
Executives desk when White House
correspondents filed into his Office.
Also on his desk was a clipping Of

Times Herald Wednesday and writ

Chatting informally before the
press conference, Earl Goodwin, Blue
Network news commentator, re-
marked on the Iron Cross and sug-
gested that he knew several persons
to whom it might be awarded in
this country.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that he knew
some also and that they probably
had the same persons in mind.
After the conference as other cor
respondents were filing out of the
Presidents Office, Mr.. Roosevelt
handed the Iron Cross to Mr.. God

prelude to forthcoming econ
omy drive.
Chairman Cannon declared that a
special subcommittee, consisting Of
himself and Representative Wood
rum, Democrat, of Virginia and
Taber, Republican, of New York,
ranking minority member, now is
working out details OF the plan for
presentation to the House early in
January.
Out of the subcommittee delib-
erations probably will come creation
of staff of financial G-men" with
congressional authority to go into
the various departments and
bureaus and obtain flrst-hand in
formation on just how much money
they should be allotted.
AS Mr.. Cannon put it, it will pro-
vide an organization that would
operate independently of any execu-
tive agency and secure for the COM
mittee from time to time informa-
ton that it might require in the
performance of it's work"
Back of Mr.. Cannon's broad state
ment, however, are long continuing
complaints from members of the
Appropriations Committee that they
now lack any method for determin.
ing departmental financial needs
except by questioning the officials
seeking the money.
Back OF it, too, was the first Of
Congress New Year resolutions
one calling for the elimination
wherever possible Of appropriations

effort.
Mr.. Cannon has declared that the
committee already is operating on g
policy Of cutting non-military ex.
penditures Ito the bone," and added
This year we'll take out part OF the
bone"

Bicycle Riders Warned
To Keep Off Sidewalks

With almost comic irony, bicycle
riders in the District received a
general order today at almost the
same hour that motorists were in
formed by OPA that stop-order
had been issued on gas ration tickets
with the exception of T cards.
Bicycle operators, messengers and
private owners, alike, were warned
by police and traffic authorities to
conflne their riding to streets.
A report that bicycle riders are
using crowded sidewalks prompted
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer and Inspector Arthur E.
Miller, police traffic supervisor, to
warn that future violations will re-
suit in stiff penalties.
Inspector Miller has informed
police to enforce all bicycle riding
rules rigidly.
