Officials Report

Building permits here this week
amounted to $174,375, as compared

above the corresponding figures for
1941, according to J. T. Little, dis
trict manager of Dodge Reports,
daily construction news service.

New Silver Star Home Draws
Praise From Host of Visitors
More Than 1000 View Spring Valley House;
Structure Is Built of Best, Finished Experty
BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

The delightful English-type house
at 1000 Fordham road in Spring
Valley has had more than 1000
visitors since its opening recently.
Many interested people have had
most. gracious comments to offer
on the fourth Silver Star Home of
the year. ...
The Silver Star Committee Sc
lected this house because of the ex-
cellence of the materials in it and
the careful workmanship which has
made it home well worth owning
through the years. Now that such
materials are no longer available
and expert finishing is almost i'm
possible to find, this is one of the
last of the finer houses on the mar
ket in the higher priced brackets
Built by w. G. e. A. N. Miller, it
is in one of the most desirable local
tiles in Washington. Close to the
new Massachusetts, avenue shopping
center, with its theater and the Gar
flnckel Spring Valley store. And with
fine schools, churches and trans
portation facilities just around the
corner, it offers suburban privacy
with "intown" conveniences.
Dining Room Spacious.
The dining room in this house
has unusual charm. A delightful
wall paper with rich plum, red and
green tones on deep cream ground,
is placed above an antique ivory
dado and chair rail. Corner cup
boards lined in soft green and filled
with old china make colorful deco
rative detail. The same green is
used for draperies at the wide win
dow, which frames a view of the
valley and wooded hillsides toward
the west.
The room is an ideal size. Dinner
may be served to 8 or 10 conven-
iently. However, the intimacy of
the room would make it equally
pleasant for family Of four. For
large receptions or teas the whole
first floor may be- utilized and the
ample pantry and kitchen give easy
access to porch. dining room, draw
ing room and library because of the
excellent planning for "flow Of
traffic"
The bedroom floor is outstanding
because of it's spaciousness and ap-
pointments. Paneling' and ward
robes in the master bedroom are
beautifully finished. Walls are soft
in color and restful Beautifully tiled
baths, storage closets, and linen
closets make housekeeping as pleas
ant as possible. One of the greatest
JOYS are the many extensive win
dows which flood the upper floors
with sunshine.

Never put a new brush of this

manufacturer advises. While use
of water is advised against at any
time, if soap and water is used to
clean the brushes after painting,
the hair should be combed straight
and allowed to dry before using it

Rosin Spots on Wood
Are Easy to Remove

There is nothing more exasperat-
ing than the sticky spots which ap-
pear on new wood. The sun beating
on a new wood floor will bring pitch
and rosin to the surface and unless
it is properly treated will penetrate
the paint.
Remove the pitch with turpen-
tine. After the wood is dry, coat
the spots with shellac or alumni
mum paint so sun action will not
draw the rosin again. After this
the floor may be painted and with
stand sun and rain action without
further annoyance.

An Editorial

Cumberland will be in the scrap
again Oct. 25, one week after the
entire county holds y three-day
scrap drive.
The importance OF giving all
kinds OF scrap necessary for our
war effort cannot be emphasized
too strongly. Scrap metal and rub
Der Is s0rely needed by our coun-
try. and we have to dig down and
get Il.
Everyone has contributed some
thing to the scrap drive, but there
Is no doubt that we can all give
more II we 90 out and look for
more scrap to give.
We don't have to look far for
scrap. For example, we can look
ut the IRON fence around the b.
& o. station In Cumberland, and
the IRON fence at the Dingle In
Cumberland, or along Baltimore
street in Cumberland. Those fences
are doing nobody any good where
they are, and could be doing our
boys more good where they should
be-in guns.
Those are our suggestions for
scrap. We hope the parties main
tanning their fences don't fence of
national interest. We hope, too,
that county citizens will get all
OF their scrap into the bigger scrap.
