BY the Asseeio,sd Press

Gov. Lane and Maryland roads
officials were to meet today with
Public Works Administrator Flem-

ceiving funds to build roads in the
Free State adjacent to Washington.
The meeting was set for 2 pm
and at $50 pm. Gov. Lane and the
State road officials were scheduled
to call on President Truman, pre-
sumably to urge Federal aid. Gen
Fleming and Public Roads Admin
istrator Thomas H. Macdonald also
were to be present at the conference
with the President.
Saturday the Governor received
from the State Highway Advisory
Council report saying Federal ap-
preparations should be forthcoming
in the light Of what IL called "enor-
nous expenditures" required for
proposed roads In the washington
area.
U. s. Installations Cited.
The Council said Maryland should
be entitled to direct financial con-
tributions" in addition to the Gus
tomary Federal grants which the
State is called on to match. :.
The councils report cited many
Federal installations In the adjoin-
ing Maryland area which produce
no taxes for the Free State.
The report was the first made by
the council since its appointment by
the Governor to help advise him
on carrying out Maryland's Ave
year road program for which be-
tween SITS, ,000, 600 to $500, ,00o, 600 will

four times as much as Maryland
has spent annually in the last 10

Gil called now inferior to other

The report mentioned only two
specific roads, a dual highway from

New Aluminium
Storm Window
Now on market
Pv n IA Derwin
BY D. M. Derwin

Condensation during the winter
months has resulted in almost COM
pIete destruction of all inside paint
finishes on metal easement win
doWs, not to mention the general
nuisance value of taking paint fall
ing on rugs and floors and the
constant mopping up OF wet VIM
dow sills.
Unless steps are taken to cor
rect the causes, the home owner Is
faced with eventual sill rot ana
yearly paint jobs.
A new aluminium storm window
for metal easements has just been
placed on the market. This aluml-
mum frame storm window covers
the entire metal residence easement
on the inside and provides perfect
dead air insulation. Effectively
reducing the dissipation of heat to
give a warmer home with up to
IS per cent less fuel, they also give
control of condensation.
Designed in a choice of two styles
of storm panels, ventilated and
fixed types, both allow full opera
ton of the easement ventllator.
Stocked in standard sizes, they
have extruded aluminium construc-
ton. with, rubber weather seal
around the entire perimeter. Ihey
are glazed with double-strength
glass.
These storm windows are easily
installed from the inside With SIM
ple attachment clips. The panels
are light and easily stored for the
summer in minimum space. lhey
eliminate maintenance cost, as no
painting is required.
Water Putty.
This period of the year finds
cracks developing which will need
filling and plugging. A water putty
that does not shrink when IT drleS
has been placed on the market.
Adaptable for numerous house
hold uses, such as plugging floor
holes and cracks, reseating screws,
mending furniture, repairing tile.
stone, plaster, masonry and metal,
or restoring picture frames, this
water putty is dry powder product
and is simply mixed with water to
a paste of the required consistency
for the job to be done.
1t is pressed into the hole or
crack or other surface indenture
with a putty knife or glazing tool
and after drying is simply sanded
down level with the surrounding
surface. 1t may be painted or var
nished Immediately upon drying.
When hardened, this water putty
may be fooled and finished Just
like wood. Nails or screws also
can be driven into it without dan
ger of it's cracking.
In case a certain shade is de-
sired, it can be colored by the SIM
pie addition of dry color to the
paste mixture. The use of lime
proof colors is recommended.

BE Cautious
But Don't Be
Afraid
By Betty Trexler

A few years ago the average fam
lily used either modern or period
furniture, but were afraid 70 mix
the two.
Today, however, modern and per-
iod furnishings are being combined
successfully.
Some amount of caution should
be used of course. An extremely
modern coffee table of bleached
wood, for instance, is not exactly
suitable in front of a handsome.
carved antique sofa covered in red
satin.
But many things will go well to-
gether. Take Mr.. and Mrs. DIS
home. Mr.. D. likes modern paint
ings. His wife loves Early Ameri-
can things. They compromised
when furnishing their new home,
and the effect is excellent. Both
Early American and modern fur
nishings have a big thing in COM
mon-simplicity of design.
Mr.. and Mrs. D are happy. Mr..
D can gaze at his modern paintings,
while his wife admires her old pine
corner cupboard.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. were fond Of
both modern and period furniture
and couldn't decide which to use
in their home. They hit on the
idea of having the rooms furnished
with different periods.
Their living room Is full OF love-
ly antique pieces. The dining room
is completely modern.
And there is no reason why ira
ditional furniture can't be used IN
house of extremely modern archf-
lecture.
We know an interior decorator
whose house of very modern de-
sign is filled with period pieces.
He likes the "cluttered, honey"
look and feels you can't have that
If severe modern furnishings are
used.
It's nice to have a home filled
with precious antiques where even
the ashtrays are authentic old
glass or china pieces. And modern
homes are fine. Nevertheless, we're
glad that more and more people
are blending the two.
Just remember to use discretion
A room can look mighty "choppy,
indeed, if too many different woods
and styles are used. Be cautious
but don't be afraid.
