Formula is Given

I rh;s is the time OF the veal
.,,an there are usually many call:
W VIII the County Extension office
from folks who are interested II
,,J, their buildings
,h;cIen coops, trees or fences.
The question they want ans
uvered is: "What's a good formula
for making whitewash?' -
rhere are a number Of differ
-. formulas for making white
wash. says Frank Webster, coun-
~ Extension agent, that range
t,on the simple quicklime and
water formula to others which
include several additional ingre-
| dientS. 3. ..-
The principal ingredient in any
u,h;tewash is lime paste. A sat
;sfactory paste can be made with
hvdrated lime, but better results
are obtained by using quicklime.
Eight gallons of stiff lime paste
can be obtained by shaking Is
pounds Of quicklime in ten gallons
Of water. If you use hydrated
lime. fifty pounds of this material
soaked in 6 gallons Of water is
needed to produce eight gallons OF
stiff paste. 81
before being used, the lime
caste should be kept in a loose
covered container for several days
(nreferably several months, if you
can wait that long,. sg
Other ingredients must be add
: I'd to the lime paste. Here are
formulas recommended by r.
N. Miller, Extension Engineer at
washington State College:
Dissolve Is pounds of salt in
about five gallons Of water. Add
this solution to 8 gallons Of lime
paste. Mix thoroughly and thin
to the desired consistency with
fresh water. .e .-.,E
The second formula is this: Dis
solve IL pounds of salt and 6 OF.
of powdered alum together in 4
gallons of hot water. Add at.
Of molasses. Add this clear solu-
ton to 8 gallons of lime paste,
stirring vigorously. Use fresh
water for thinning this mixture
to the desired consistency. This
formula produces whitwash that
has a yellow tinge when first ap-|
piled. However, this color disap-
pears within a few days and a
very white and durable coating
results.
Whitewashes may be made in
different colors-in blacks, blues,
browns, reds and others. White
wash disinfectant may also be
made.
For further information, ask at
the County Extension Office for
mimeo No. 482, "Whitewash."

A Difficult Feat

Aunt Sarah brought to church
meetings an acrid wit which often
dispelled the dullness of the proceed
ings like warm sunshine dispelling
the morning dew
Not long ago the dirtiness and
slovenliness of the janitor, old Pete,
came under discussion, and it was
generally agreed that he would have
to be discharged. But kind-hearted
old Mrs. Smythe, as usual, inter-
vened on the side of mercy.
II hate to see the old fellow CO."
she exclaimed pityingly. He may
be dirty and unkept on the outside,
but, my friends, I am sure he is
clean and pure on the inside. Do
we have to discharge him?"
THAT or turn the dirty beggar
inside OUT" Aunt Sarah wryly chal-
lenged.

If your securing powder comes
in cardboard containers which go
to pieces before the powder is
used up, make your own perma-
nent container by using an empty
mayonnaise jar in the top of which
you have punched holes. To keep
this glass powder shaker from
slipping out of your wet soapy
hands, put some strips of adhesive
tape around the sides of the jar.
To avoid steaming up the bath
room when you draw your bath,
run cold water first and then add
hot water to it until you get the
desired mixture. After a shower,
turn on the cold water for a few
minutes to clear up the steam.
Most common types of shoe
polish can be removed with clean
ing fluid. Or, on washable whites,
let the polish dry and then brush
most of it off. After that, wet it
and let it dry again so you can
brush it again.
In an emergency, when you
haven't time to change from your
best shoes to your house ones for
some last-minute cooking or dish
washing, protect the shoes by
slipping paper bags over your
feet and secure them at the ankles
with rubber bands.

Night Preparations

A little boy from the crowded ten

city was sent to the country to stay
on a farm for the summer. His
first day there, the setting sun was
gliding the grass and roses of the
old-fashioned garden, and he sat
on a little stool beside the farmers
wife as she plucked chicken. He
watched the operation gravely for
some time. Then he spoke: do
you take off their clothes every
night, lady?"

When raisins get stale and hard,
they can be freshene6 and used
if you put them in a strainer and
set the strainer with a cover on
it over a pot of boiling water for
about Is minutes.
To keep sandwiches fresh, wrap
them in waxed paper; but before
you fold the paper over, run a
warm iron along the double edges.
The wax will melt and the edges
will fuse.

and effort and money to fix hlm up again and then have the same thing happen.
 So what did Kirk do?. He wrote ns that if the VA was going to take this view of his case then at least he should be given more pension. :. or compensation, as it's officially called. Because, says Kirk, if he is not physically and mentally able to go through with his training course then he must be more than 30 per cent disabled.
 But that's not necessarily so. Its possible for a veteran like Kirk to be only 30 per cent disabled but still not in a position to profit from training under P.L. l6.
 The point is, the VA is within its rights to stop a P.L. Is training course if it figures the training is not going to help the veteran over come his handicap.
 Kirk can always appeal his case to the Board of Veterans Appeals at his regional office.

mittee. As chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, he is keenly aware of the fact that local and Federal interests are ntertwned at many points here He wishes to make certain that the enormous Federal interest in this Capital City is effectively safeguarded. With that objective fully sympathize Washingtons chief raison detre is its special function as the of the Federal Government Obviously the proposed home-rue regime must be ad- iusted to that situation
 We find it impossible. however to follow General Grant in his suggestion that the new government should be headed by governor to be appointed by the President This smacks of revival of the so-called territorial regime of the 1870s which brought grief by presidentiay appointed Governor Shepherd. If that Inflated experiment alone is not enough to dscredit the idea of creating governoship for Wash
 ngon the confusion that would result from any such move ought to dissuada Congress from making it. Washington is neither State nor distant Federal Territory In our opinion there is no place for gov ernor in the municipal regime that ought to be set up 10 make it's local affairs.
 Under the Auchncloss plan control over local af- fairs would be lodged in a city council Would that proposed governor be made responsible to this council? If so then that official ought to be appointed by the council not the President and serve at its pleasure and he should be called city manager. If the pro- posed governor to be responsible to the coun ciI we should have two governments instead of one and indescribable confusion could be anticipated We hesitate to think that General Grant had any such hodeepodge arrange in mind The Auchincloss Sub committee as it's staff director Dr. George Galloway, has pointed out has already provided safe pliards to avoid unwarraned sacrifice of Federal n terests to local interests under the homerule plan II
 further safeguards are needed specific amendments as n inc status of various agencies may well be discussed Rut any attempt at this time to write fundamentally different plan seems to us especially unfortunate

VETERANS TAX

The U S. Circuit Court of Appeals has uphelo an Alaska District Court decision ordering the Alaska World War II Veterans Board to repay the S3oooo1 lean from the Terrory's general fund in l946 which was made for the purpose of starting the ball roig before the returns from the sales tax came ln
 -alf of the amount must be paid by the end oi this month and the balance by April 30.
 According to the Governor this money will ease the critical condition of the treasury and lessen the pressure for a special session of the Legislature. However the Governor feels that the repayment ot this loan levels further blow at our veterans because many will be unable to secure the benefits to which they are entitled under the law
 If this is the case, then we fail to see how any easing of critical situation has been accomplished if such move only alleviates shortage to create another.
 Perhaps the fund for the veterans is not in such bad shape as one would believe. In pressing this suit for the Territory Attorney General Ralph Rivers said that the fund amounted to S1,750O00 in August ot last year and more returns from the tax have come in since that time It also seems strange that Ii so many veterans haven't been able to secure the bepets to which they are entitled under the law that such
 large fund would have been built up to that llgure of last August It just doesn't make sense

Just because you have been rated 10 percent disabled by the VA, does that mean you are eligible for training under P.L. Is, the Voca- tional Rehabilitation Act?
 The answer is no, a loud no.
 True, P.L. Is was set up in the first place to give rehabilitation to disabled veterans, and rehablli- tation means training and educa- ton. It was designed to give dis abled ex-ssrvicer extra training to compensate him for his disability and to make him a productive, tread-winning citizen.
 But there's a hitch. The law says that the VA must determine that a veteran really is in need of the tram ing. and that the training will en- able the veteran to overcome hls handicap.
 Look at the case Of Kirk F. Way back in Dec. l945, Kirk received dis aLility rating 30 per cent from the VA. He has a service connected dis ability. The 30 per cent, translated into dollars, means S4l 40 a month Kirk will keep on getting that $4l 40 for as long as his disability remains the same. If it got worse he can apply for more compensation. Ii
 |
 Now, wouldn't you think that Kirk would be eligible for training under PL. l6? With a disability which the VA figures is bad enough to rate S4l 40 a month, wouldn't Kirk be likely to have a handicap? And wouldn't it be logical to think that the handicap could be over come by PL. l6 training?
 In Kirks case the VA has decided to use his own words, that he is mentally and physically unfit tc receive rehabilitation
 The VA does not think he is in any position, physically or mentally to profit by the training. And the VA is well within it's rights in mak- ing that kind of decision.
 II the VA doesn't think the train- ing will overcome the veterans handicap, then it doesn't have tC give the training. Tn fact, under the law it can't.
 There's more to it. Kilk F at one roint did start a course of Yocationa rehabilitation under P.L. l6. The VA decided ke would be able to over. come his handicap by the train. ing. But it was a tough course, anC Kirk had to drop out on account o Lis disability
 So it would hardly be practica for the VA to set up another cours' of training for him, waste the tim'

A Flight of Fancy
Cincinnati Enauirer)


 When piece of news of Page One importance breaks it always is a temptation to turn 1t over ana over to discover some rather profound cause ana some far-reaching implication. In sense, that IS what editorial writers are for-to delve for sgnlfl- cance"
 But when the piece of news stems from the IeVereo imagination of John L. Lewis, the miners boss IL may take good deal of turning and deving and pondering to find any facet that is actually significant We may be dealing simply with the whim of an unstable ana irresponsible individual.
 MT Lewis for the second time in his career mas taken the whole body of 100000 coal miners out o the American Federation of Labor He has done so be- cause he and other leaders of the AFL did not agree on the signing of Communist affdavs, under the TaftHartley law His action reflects personal plque It is not an action in pursuance of principle
 Neither does it mark any major change Tn the political picture. The AFL is numerically weaker py some revenue But it is stronger without the mlnerS in the sense that it becomes once more body o1 or ganized workers all of whom committed to respect the law enacted by the Congress of the United states
 Having become accustomed to the sudden whims of John L. Lewis the American people are certain to read of his latest dramatic gesture with an 1ndugen smile man exercising much power as aces MT. eUis ought to avoid these signals of emotional ln- maturity But he does not we can only discount them accordingly and take comfort in the knoWledge that the whns of dicatorial figures do not directly reach most of us very often
