HERE was a kid named Bud
Hale around here before the
war that was the best model
alrplane builder l ever saw. The
way met him was when one of
his models flew through one of the
windows in my house an busted
the window an itself to smither-
eens.
l ran outside an couldn't see
anybody. But in a few minutes
here comes Bud with a new piece
of glass under his arm; he asks po-
litely if he can trade it to me for
the remains of his airplane model.
So l get acquainted with him
that way. An he used to tell me
his troubles an his pranks, also
his ambitions.
remember one Fourth of July
he rugged up a model plane with
bunch of frecrackers tied to it
with a slow fuse. Somethin'
went wrong with the steerin'
gear, SO instead of dyin' across
an empty field, the whole She
bang went over a Sunday
school picnic an ''bombed"
the dayliRhts out of the crowd.
Everybody thought it was
funny except the preacher. One
of the burnin' ends of a frecracker
fell down the reverend's neck an
he did some undignifed scram-
bin an. accordin' to closely
witnesses. let 60 some conversa-
ton that hadn't ought to be
heard at a Sunday-school gather
ing.
Well. this Fourth of July Bud

Hale is fyin' a bomber out in the
Pacific. closer to Japan than you
think.
His oil man was in here the
other day tellin' me about
hearin from Bud:
Il give him a good lickin' that
time for bombin' the Sunday
school picnic" said Mister Hale,
Senior. kind of sad-like. Bud re-
membered it, because he wrote me
not long ago to say, The fire.
crackers I'm using this Fourth of
July weigh a ton apiece and if we
can just get enough of them to put
in the right places, we'll give a
whole new meaning to Independ-
ence Day"
Reckon Bud'll ever be able to
come home an settle down to ordi-
nary peaceful times?" asked Pop
Hale.
Hope so he's good boy"
his oil man answered.
An heck, him an | both knew
already, down in our hearts, how
it'll be. In few years Bud'll be
back home here with kids of his
own.
An what's more, he'll most
probably be givin' them the same
kind of lickin's an lectures he
used to get for not celebratin' the
Fourth of July in safe an sane
manner.

are easily and instantly affected

beverages or medicines), nico-
tine, and above all by plain,
simple moisture. No matter how
stunning the copper tray on your
table, if you offer it with drinks
which may be spilled, or If your
guests lay cigarette butts on its
edge. or if you spill water on it.
or fail to wipe 1t very dry, your
beautiful copper tray will de-
velop streaks, spots. or an I'M
pleasant dark shade of tarnish.
And then what to do?
Before any of these tragedies
of the household can happen, it
is worth knowing that you may
have any copper Tor brass or
silver too article given a special
coat of lacquer to protect it.
That is, provided the article Is
not TO be washed or used TO hold

or serve food, but is purely deco
rative, such as the handsome
copper tray above the mantel,
the copper lamp base, the copper
pitcher, or the brass candlesticks.
Remember 49, any metal article
which is not TO be used as a food
carrier or touched by water may
be lacquered.
Take these objects TO the sill
versmith or metal craftsman, and
ask 20 have them lacquered, after
they have first been repaired and
restored. The cost Of lacquering
is reasonable, and well worth it
when we consider that this coat
of lacquer protects the polished
finish underneath. First we
polish our copper or brass, then
we coat it with clear lacquer
and no more tarnish, no more
stains or spots-at least for a
considerable period.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-02-07

How long does this coat OF
lacquer last ?" will be asked by
a chorus OF readers. That de-
ponds. One lady who adores her
copper decorative objects, and
who handles them only while she
wears gloves, reports that her
lacquer lasted 10 years! But
under ordinary conditions and at
mosphere, it will last about one
year, or perhaps two or three.
And doesn't a lacquered arti-
Gle require any polishing ?" Never
a blinded, TO even attempt to
polish" lacquer would ruin it
don't touch it! Merely dust it
lightly with a very soft wool or
chamois cloth, and don't make
fingermarks on it with sweaty
hands, That's all
