Dear Miss NOVEL;: am furnish
ing small bedroom. The walls are
finished soft pastel green. I have
to ref1nish . chest Of drawers and
= small bedside table. Can antique
white be done successfully at home?
II so, how? I have also considered
the New England country style
white with garden flowers painted
on. Can you tell me where can
purchase this type stencil or decal.
Or would you suggest some other
color to paint these pieces. The
room is for an old lady and I would
not want 1t too modern. am q
faithful reader of your column and
enjoy 1t immensely. Mrs. I. M.
Stuck,
Answer-I think the white with
the field flowers would be delightful
In this room with the green walls.
You may antique" 1t also If you
wish. Some of the five and tens"
have decals like you mention. Most
OF the art supply stores also, have
them. You might cut the bouquets
out OF fabric or wall paper, apply
them to the chest and then shellac
over them. When the painting and
decorating Is finished use raw umber
diluted with turpentine and paint
q thin coat over the surface of the
furniture. Blend it carefully to give
a shaded brushed appearance. Wipe
of the high spots leaving the dark
shading in the carving, turnings and
deep part of panels. It takes a bit
OF practicing to get used to this
technique so try it on an inconspi-
cuous part first.
Recently I have been hearing q
good deal about using the suns
rays to help heat the house. have
= nice lot in Northern Virginia,
where I hope to build home after
the war. Can you explain to me
how this sun heating works. G. ".
Answer-This is quite a detailed
subject which I haven't space to
discuss here. Many of the magazines
on houses and architecture have
discussed it for some time. Briefly,
the house is so placed on the lot
that 1t utiliZes the heat of the sun
in the winter by permitting it to
enter the house, and blocks it out
in the summer when it is not needed.
This Is done by roof overhangs,
and by upright light barriers that
are placed to shut out the suns
rays at various times Of the year.
Based on the difference in the arc
OF the suns travel in June and
December, you will find that a
room that is in complete shadow
on June 81 will be flooded with sun
light on December 81. However, sim
pie as it looks to be it takes real en-
gineering and I would suggest, as you
have plenty of time, that you get
the services of good architect,
who knows and is interested in this
type Of modern architecture.
have large storage closet which
Is being built in my attic. / had
hoped to have it cedar lined but
that seems to be impossible. 1t is
being constructed OF wall board and
I wanted to be very sure that it is
mothproof. Can you give me any
suggestions, which I might have
overlooked, to insure the garments
stored there against moths?
L. N. r.
Answer-Watch carefully all the
wall joints, being sure that they are
carefully filled with putty or crack
filler so that there is no joint visible.

Food Helps Patient
Conquer Illness

Just few years ago, when any
one became i'll, his food intake was
cut down so as not to give his di-
gestive organs too much work to
do. Today the food the patient likes
is given because a good appetite
not only means more food will be
eaten, but because the food the pa
tient likes makes the digestive juices
flow more freely and patient gets
more nourishment. With good nour-
ishmen the body puts up a stronger
fight against the disease.

suit of the recent investigation of
the projects in Arizona will be.
A congressional committee com
posed of Rep. Harold d. Cooley,
Democrat, North Carolina, Anton
j. Johnson, Republican, Illinois,
Ross Ridley. Republican, Okla
homa and Orville Zimmerman, =
Democrat, Missouri, inspected the
cooperative project near Chandler
and the Casa Grande Valley Farms
before going on to San Francisco.
Johnson, Zimmerman and Cool
ey were at the Valley Farms pro.
ject Sunday accompanied by Mil
ton Howard, area director of Farm
Security administration, Los An
geles and Craig, whose head office
is at Phoenix but who spends
much of his time at Valley Farms.
Craig states that at present the
project association is considering
buying the land and houses. Origi-
nally, in 1898 when the project was
first started, funds were borrowed
from the FSA for operation pur-
poses. The land was leased from
the FSA on a cropshare basis,
with no negotiations being made
at the outset for possible pur-
chase
The government has indicated
it will sell the land, which in
cludes about 5000 farming acres.
The likely one to buy it would be
the association. although it could
be purchased by private parties.
Craig said that daily newspap-
er item stating that there were so
apartments at the Chandler, Ariz.
project was in error, as there are
only 32 houses at Chandler. There
are 60 houses at the Valley Farms
project and 81 families. Figuring
five to family, there are around
2S5 persons at the project.
AT present, there are 38 mem
bers who are owners in the pro-
ject, forming the association
which leases the land from the
government The association, said
Craig, pays around $4,000 to the
government each year. This pay
ment operates on a sliding scale,
sometimes being more and some
times less than $4,000.
Craig said that the association
rents out the houses to employees
working on the farms at SO
month, which includes the cost of
utilities. People are hired to
work at going wages in the COM
munity.
A board of five members passes I
on all applications for membership /
in the project and submits them
to the FSA for final approval
Members are required to live at
the project. Membership fees are
500.
The board is composed OF Lloyd
Kilman, president; Henry o.
Moore, vice president; NJ. r. Had
away, treasurer, M. f. .Ufford and
VIM. A. Amos Mrs. Lenore Lee
man, a non-member is secretary.
General diversified farming is
carried on, including raising of
poultry, dairy cattle, feeder beeves,
hogs and growing of field crops.
There are 115 milking cows, in
Guiding Holsteins, Guernseys and
Jerseys. Milk is shipped to Tue
son.
The cooperative enterprise has
5000 head of poultry, 1910 head OF
beef cattle and ,408 hogs. Biggest
crop is alfalfa, although corn, oats
and barley are raised.
