Nothing in the laws OF Benton

"anarchy" Of property owners
who insist on their personal
rights TO maintain privies, dug
wells and shack buildings Ia the
localities bordering Kennewick,
said Dr.. Charles Tudor, director
Of the Benton-ltanklm health
district, in . talk 80 the Kenne-

gal controls for the development

It's that time of the year again!
The Flower Fanciers and Back
Yard Gardeners section of the
Amalgamated Complainers barged
into this weeks session with
threats Of violence and mayhem
bursting from their sun-parched
lips. It's nothing new. Kennewick
as well as every ofl1er communi-
ty in the United States goes
through the same, battle every
spring. To millions of house
holders over the country the bat
tie Is sharper than the Question
of states rights. Dogs, shouted

PROBLEM
That the problem is a tough one
is evident in the fact that 1t re-
currs every year and in no com
munity that we know of has i

believe, however, that an ap
proach to the solution can come
with the enforcement of regula
tons on licensing and controlling
the little beasts. People don't ex
pect to let their kids run rampan
over the neighborhood. Neithe
should they be permitted to lie
their dogs annoy neighbors ant
destroy their property.
THINKERS
Speaking Of dogs, we have dis

QUESTION:: There are finger
marks on the head board Of my
bed, probably caused by perspiring
hands. How can I remove these
marks?
ANSWER: Clean the surface by
washing with thick suds of mild
soap, not just thin, watery soap
suds. Follow with a clean, damp
cloth and rub dry. Turpentine may
also help. If this does not work, try
rubbing the marks with scratch
less securing powder and little
light oil on the ball of your finger.
QUESTION:: Could you give me
any Information on tile flooringf
Can do the work myself?
ANSWER: Whatever type you
choose, remember that a solid color
will show dirt very quickly. Notified
colors stay clean-looking much
longer. 1t is perfectly possible for a
home owner to lay tile, provided he
is handy with tools and has good
guide book. Any kind Of tile must
be set In the proper bed" no mat
ter whether 1t Is clay tile, asphalt,
rubber or anything else.
QUESTION:: Skc::.i che patch
plaster that has come off in a base
ment?
ANSWER: II it's ordinary plas-
ter that is used for living rooms, 1t
would be best to remove all of 1t
instead Of trying to patch it. This
type Of plaster is affected by damp
ness and is not intended for use in
basement
QUESTION:: How can I polish
bad scratches off my glass table
top?
ANSWER: That type of polish
Ing cannot be done at home. 1t Is a
