Dr.. Davies Describes Mdsoryk
|As Sick Man at ine of Coup

The people, when they realized
what was happening, hoped some-
thing could be done by them.
But nothing could" he said.
Death May Do Much.
Yet by his death Mr.. Masaryk has
managed to do a great deal, &C
cording to the Unitarian minister.
''Mr. Masaryk's death will have a
great significance to the Czech peo-
ple," he predicted. "Czechoslovakia
Is not Communist. It has been
taken prisoner by the Communists
But they could not have taken it
without coup d'etat."
The resignation of Ambassador
Juraj Slavik here also will greatly
boost morale" he predicted, pointing
out that DR.. Slavik's action was the
subject of anxious speculation
among the Czechs in Prague while
he was there.
At a press conference on his re-
turn here last week, DR.. Davies
urged immediate and aggressive"
American action to counter the
Communist coup, warning that time
is short. He repeated this warning
at last nights meeting.

Question: We have fir floors
which, of course, are soft wood. We
live out of town and have no side
walks. Consequently, we bring in
lot of sand on our shoes, which
scratches and marks the floors terri
bly,. Even where chairs stand. dents
are left, and everything scratches
and mars the floors.
They look awful. Is there any
substance or treatment to give them
a harder finish, and prevent all
of these scratches and dents?
Answer: Nothing will make soft
wood into hardwood. But you can
help the condition by keeping the
floors well cleaned and polished
with a good paste floor wax. Until

Tuck Pointing Brick Chimney.
Question: Would you be able to
tell me how to repair our chimney?
Up in the attic where 1t is quite
damp, the mortar is powdering up
between the bricks of the chimney,
thereby loosening the bricks here
and there. I would like to do the
job myself, If possible.
Answer: Rake out the old mortar
to a depth of half an inch or so,
clean out loose bits. and wet the
grooves with water. Then pack the
Joints with mixture of part port
land cement, ! part hydrated lime
and 5 parts Of clean, coarse sand,
with just enough water to make a
workable mixture.
You also could buy ready mix as
sold by dealers in mason supplies.
I advise you to see why your attic
is so damp and do something about
| it. The condition is not good, and
besides disintegrating your mortar
| the dampness may also rot the
woodwork Of your attic. You could
protect your brickwork with a coat
of cement base paint, containing a
dampproofer, also sold by dealers
in mason supplies.

Depredations of teen-agers armed
with air rifles drew fire at meeting
of municipal council Monday night
after councilmen reported widespread
complaints from virtually all sec
tions of the village.
Killing of songbirds and careless
shooting endangering pedestrians and
causing damage to property COM

plants.
Dead song birds have been report
ed in many areas following visits by
air-rife-armed youngsters, and the
mayor warned after the meeting that
state laws prohibiting killing of
song birds would be enforced to put
a stop to the practice.
The mayor also instructed police
officials to check carefully into COM
plants regarding careless handling
of guns in cases where pedestrians
are struck by bullets and where dam
age is done to property.
Cooperation of parents in properly
instructing their children in the use
of air rifles was asked as another
means of helping control the situa-
ton.

Considering the advisability OF
purchasing a police cruiser for use
in routine police patrol and traffic
checks, municipal councilmen Mon
day night voted to advertise for
bdis to be considered at the next

Decision in purchasing the vehicle
largely will hinge on delivery and
price factors and a further con-
sideration as to how badly cruiser
is needed, it was indicated following
Mondays session.
Widespread complaints of speeding
and reckless operation of motor
vehicles precipitated consideration of
the question, together with a long
standing recommendation that a
police car is needed here, particularly
by the night man.
Discussion of the question at

many smaller communities have been
forced to operate police cars, includ-
