Decorating Easy
With Kem-Tone
New Finish Is Ideal
for Interior Painting

The development OF a new fin
ish, Kem-Tone, brings modern dec
GRATED walls within the reach OF
every housewife. 1t is an ideal
finish for the person who wants
10 do his own painting. II can be
applied directly over almost any
interior wall surface. even wall
paper, since Kem-Tone can be put
on right over the old paper with
out any previous stripping. Ex-
cept in the case of an extremely
violent design, single coat of any
one of its modern pastel colors
will cover completely.
Kem-Tone comes in paste form
and is reduced TO brushing con-
sistency by simply adding water.
When il is thoroughly dry il forms
a tough, plastic surface that may
be washed with soap and water.
The new finish. which is made
from newly developed plastic res
ms and is completely lacking in
offensive paint odor, is also amaS.
ingly easy to apply. Even an in
experienced painter doesn't have
to worry about leaving brush
marks.
When the user is finished with
the job it isn't any trouble to
clean up because brushes, hands,
clothes. etc. need only be washed
with soap and water.

Insuiate Attic

Cut down heat loss by insulating
your unfinished attic floor. Get
explicit directions from the com
pany that sells you the insulating
material-Whether il is loose fill.
blanket, bait type or insulating
board. Pour or lay the material
between the beams, and pack
properly leaving no air spaces.
Don't forget the ends of the beams
over the caves and gaps that ap-
pear where the beams are uneven.
And don't step through the raft
ers; you may be surprised TO land
in your bedroom. Insulation of a
finished attic floor. sidewalks or
top-foor ceiling should be done,
OF course, by an insulating con-
tractor.
Storm windows md doors will
do much to keep heat inside your
home. You can buy them unfin-
ished, and paint and trim them
yourself.
Tack misunderstanding around
badly fitting windows. Felt or
wood is easiest for the amateur.
The Misunderstanding should fit
tightly between the window frame
and along the top of the lower
sash. Don't forget to weatherstrip
outside doors as well.

yXIASHINGTON'S and Frank
w Inns birthdays are still a
long way off, but I'm just itch
ing to get the following into
print about those two great
founding fathers. l found 1t IN
the American Readers Library,
published at Sandusky, o.:
AT the conclusion OF the
Revolutionary War DR.. Benja-
min Franklin and the French
minister. Vergennes, were din
ing together at Versailles. A
toast from each was called for
and agreed to. The British
minister began with:
"George the Third, who, like
the sun i'm its meridian. spreads
n Iuster throughout and en-
lightens the world
1.-THE French minister followed
with: The ilIustrious Louis XVI,
who, like the moon. sheds his
mild and benignant rays on and
influences the globe
"Our American Franklin then
gave: George Washington. COM
mander of the American armies,
who, like Joshua of old. COM
manded the sun and the moon
to stand still, and they obeyed
him."
While I have been a student
OF F'rank1in'S life, l do not pose
as an authority on him. so | do
not vouch for the authenticity
of the above, but it sounds like
old Ben to me. and 1t is a good

Police Brutality

x UICKNESS with which Investigation made
" into charges of police brutality brought by three
youthsand the resulting exoneration of the police
should be model for the handling of all such charges
in the future.
Coming as they did after the mysterious death of
John Duval Dodge the charges might have caused
picion in the minds of citizens that police were
exceeding their authority.
But the investigation of Prosecutor William E.
Bowling and Judge Arthur E. Gordon proved
any suspicious groundless.
Exoneration of the police should be warning to
young that they cannot abuse police officers and
then expect to escape prosecution merely by charging
brutality.
And should be assurance to police that when quick
action called for they well within their rights in
taking it.
Failure to do so may cost them their lives
Patrolman Harry Irvine who sought to question two
suspected thieves, shot down without warning
In the future hope that citizens will think twice
about making unfounded charges of police brutality.
And we hope all such charges will be promptly
investigated
