New Filling Plaster
Remedies Sink Cops;
Shower Bose DurobIe
By HiIson Munsey

Gaps around the bathtub and the
kitchen sink are not only unsightly
but also dangerous. When water
drlps through them, it will even-
tually rot the woodwork in the walls,
and that means an expensive re-
pair job.
A filling plaster to take care of
that situation has been developed
and is now available. The plaster
is white. SO that there is no need
for paint job if the fixtures are
also white, which is the general rule
If they are colored, the material
can be enameled to match. once il
has set on the surface. The filler
will not dry out under the surface
That Elasticity takes care of the
expansion and contraction caused
by differences in temperature.
The filler is sold ready for use
There is no mixing to do and there
fore no waste. 1t can be applied
with putty knife, or anything that
will force the filler into the crack
1t is water-repellent and can be
used both in the house and the out
side. With the surface alone hard

material will chip. Although it is

Aluminium Shower Base.
Frequently the shower base is con-

way is to install a solid wooden
base. On this a layer of roofing
paper, tar. a layer of mortar ano
over this the tile.
This construction will often re.
suit in cracks and leakages. A new
shower base that will overcome
these objections is made of alumni

of all but limited highest priority
commercial building, was passed late
yeterday at the closing session of
three-day conference of the State
directors. called by Retraining Adj
ministrator Graves B. Erskine to
discuss administration Of veterans
affairs on State levels.
The resolution said a large
amount" of commercial building is
allowed on grounds OF hardship"
but that "the hardship of most
builders cannot be compared with
that of veteran trying to find a
home for his family"
Leveling criticism at shortages Of
critical materials in areas where
HH priorities have been granted. the
group also asked MIA to "use their
powers" to insure distribution of the
critical construction materials in
direct proportion to the number Of
HH priorities granted in each area.
An HH priority is used for residen-
tial building under the veterans
emergency housing program.
The veterans directors also hit at
"siphoning" of critical materials
through "black market channels"
Tor commercial construction and
asked the priority system for obtain
ing materials be extended through
the entire chain of supply, back to
the manufacturer"
Further, the group recommended
that each State establish an author
lied housing agency. It also urged
the Civilian Production Administra-
ton to include veteran "who has
no interest in commercial housing"
on every community committee set
up to consider authorizations for
nonhousing construction.
The directors also urgently rec.
commended" that Mai. Gen. Erskines
agency take necessary action Lead
ing to greater production of build
ing materials to be made available
Tor veterans housing needs"
The directors association was for
mally established yesterday, with
Homer G. Bradney, administrator
OF the. Illinois Veterans Commits
sion. named the first chairman. C.,
G. Horton of Alabama was named
vice chairman and Joe Darwin Of
