Special Type Paint
Will Preserve and
Restore Old Awnings
By HiIson Munsey

Canvas for new awnings or for re-
newing old ones is very difficult to
obtain. Consequently, many avn
ings, deck chairs and hammocks are
not in the best of condition. The
canvas cannot only be restored to
its former bright colors but also pre-
served by using paint made spe-
cially for that purpose. This paint
will also prevent mildew. 1t will
not stiffen the material, nor will it
crack. 1t is sun resistant and water
repellant. 1t is manufactured with
right consistency for painting, either
In the usual manner or by spraying,
although if a spray gun Is used it
might require little thinning with
turpentine.
The paint is made in ten different
colors, in addition to black, white
and aluminium. If different shade
is wanted the colors can be mixed.
The paint should be applied with
long strokes and the brush kept at
an even pressure. Two thin coats
is better than one thick application.
To prepare the canvas, all loose
dirt must be thoroughly brushed out.
If there are any holes, patching
should be put on the outside of
the awning and an overlap of at
least an inch allowed. With the
patch on the outside, heavy rains
and hail won't be so likely to tear
it away. 1t can be put on with
rubber cement.
When the awning is cleaned and
patched it should be put in place.
If it is large, the side arms can be
released, but the bottom rod should
be left in place so that the awning
will hang fiat. When the painting
is completed the side arms should
be replaced before the paint is dry.
Can Paint Inside of Awnings.
Ii stripes are wanted, they should
be lightly marked and the edges of
the lighter colored stripes masked.
Scotch tape or a similar material
is good for this purpose. Then the

First Aid
|For Houses
By Rooer O. Whitman

Lath Marks on Walls and Ceilings
QueStion-How can we remove
lath marks that show on our
painted walls and ceilings? Also,
would they show if wall-cloth were
applied over walls and ceilings?
AnsWer-Your ceilings and walls
must be very cold in winter, and as
they become chilled, condensation
forms on them. The plaster under
the laths remains damp enough to
pick up dust from the air of the
room, and it is this that causes the
dark marks. If the cold ceilings are
under your attic, you could prevent
condensation by insulation in the
attic. Or you could follow your idea
Of covering the cold surfaces with
an oil-cloth type of wallcloth. This
would act as a 'vapor barrier" and
prevent the warm. moist air of the
house from penetrating into the
plaster.
Poor Concrete Job.
Question: recently poured a
concrete drive, and as the trowelling
had to be done after dark, the sur
face has a number of ridges and
several holes. Is there any material
or means by which this surface
could be leveled off? I presume that
a thin mixture of concrete would
crack.
Answer-One method would be to
break up the surface, level it off,
and then pour fresh mixture over
it. A possible alternative would be
to get a grinding machine of a

Wyatt Warns of Housing Chaos
Without Community PLANNING

IF the communities jam their
houses together on crowded gridiron
streets without proper arrangements
for light and air, if they fail to
provide health facilities, they are
the ones who will be saddled with
the slums these will inevitably be-
come" he said.
IF they plan intelligently they
will reap the benefits of having
neighborhoods that will be good
places to live in, and they will bene-
fit permanently from the program"
Mr.. Wyatt explained that Federal
housing agencies will "offer every
resistance to get" good city plan
ning-"the kind of realistic planning
that results in plans being actually
carried out"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-05-18

A decade OF housing chaos" Is
ahead of the country unless the
Nations communities do a good
job of planning" before the veterans
emergency housing program gets
into full swing, Housing Admins
traitor Wilson w. Wyatt warned
today.
Communities cannot stop at their
city limits" Mr.. Wyatt said. Plan
ming must embrace metropolitan
areas as a whole. Only if these
things are done will the quality Of
the emergency housing keep pace
with the quantity"
In many communities, the housing
chief pointed out, new housing will
require new schools, new hospitals,
new stores and even new factories.

Non-Priority Builders
Face Price-Fixing
Under Pafman Bill
By Robert J. Lewis

District area home builders, who
started construction of homes un-
de- former Government regulations
which allowed nonpriority building
without ceiling prices, will face a
situation when the Patman bill is
signed under which they may be
obliged to justify prices they wish to
charge.
In anticipation of this, a number
Of builders have moved quickly to
sell in advance Of completion of
homes now under construction to
avoid necessity Of obtaining Gov
eminent approval of sales price.
The number Of such nonpriority
homes under construction was said
by builders to be considerable" in
this area. Many of these are dwell
ings costing more than $4,000,
which is now the top limit per-
mitted by regulations.
Signing Expected Next Week.
President Truman was expected
to sign the recently-approved Pat
man bill early next week. Final
version of the bill was delayed in
conference committee over the Sen
ate's approval of $500, 900, 900 in sub
sidy payments. Originally, the
House refused to go along on the
subsidy request Conferees scaled
down total subsidy funds to $780,
100000. This sum will be used to
encourage materials production.
District home builders pointed out
this week that the bill permits
Housing Administrator Wilson w.
Wyatt to apply the pricing formula
IN any areas he deems advisable,
and to housing already started with
out priorities.
The bill provides:
