Non-Sectarian Group
Plans 30 Short Films
To Throw Out Evil
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE
Christophers are going to spend
approximately $1,00O,000 on &c
films which its founder said would
help throw out evil" from Ameri-
can life.
The Rev. James Keller, Mary
knoll priest who founded the non
profit organization four years ago
said in announcing the plan to-
day:
Important as it is to throw
out evil. it is far more important
to substitute good. AS a light is
put out, we must have the people
to put it on again who know
how"
The Christophers, described as
a nonSectarian movement with
anti-totalitarian and anti-Com-
munist aims, propose that their
films show average citizens how
to make their influence felt in
government, labor management
education, communications and
other films.
Father Keller said top Holly
wood stars had offered their serv-
ices free for the first film which
will be directed by Leo McCarey
Hollywood producer of Going MY
Way" Among these are BOZ
Hope. Spencer Tracy, Loretta
Young, Rosalind Russell, Jack
Benny. Irene Dunno, Jimmy Du-
rante and Jeanne Grain.
The priest said that behind the
films. each of which will cost
about 100000 and run one-half
hour, is his belief that "it is far
more important to chase in good
people into these fields than to
chase out those who are spread
ing evil ideas"
Father Keller is author of the
best seller, you Can Change the
World on which the docu-
mentary film series will be based.

SmOked-U Up Wallboard.
Question: Our kitchen has walls
of wallboard, and the surface has
never been finished. The ceiling
and upper walls are badly dis
colored. Now I think it is time
the room was either painted or
papered, and I am wondering
which would be more satisfactory.
How should this porous surface
be prepared? Most of it is cov-
cred with grease and smoke. What
type of finish should then be ap-
piled? The price is definitely
consideration.
Answer: Clean up the walls and
ceiling as well as you can with
wallpaper cleaner, which you can
get at good paint or hardware
store. Before painting, give the
surfaces coating of varnish- size.
Apply two coats of enamel under
coater and a coat of enamel.
There is special type of wall
paper that is quite new and can
be used in kitchen. 1t is mois-
ture and grease resistant. I would
definitely not advise you to use an
porous wallpaper, which
will pick up grease and smoke in
the same way as your wallboard
surface has done. !

Storage Wall Is Latest
OF New Conveniences.
For the Small House
By Douglass Tuomey

One of the latest developments
In small house equipment. and
one of the most popular, is the
storage wall. This modern con-
venience makes up for much of
the lack of closet space which
plaques the small house owner,
and when it is properly designed
it is extremely good looking.
A typical storage wall is about
II feet long. running from floor
to ceiling. 1t contains space for
books. ornaments, radio, games,
china. glassware or any other of
the paraphernalia which usually
cutters the rooms. The design
is subject to practically any
change or modification that will
make 1t more appropriate to
various conditions.
The storage wall may be set
against blank wall, used to di-
vide large room into two areas,
used as a catch-all for a childs
room or set so as to divide the
dining area from the rest of the
living room.
1t may be used successfully in
small size in a bathroom, where
it serves as linen closet, soiled
clothes hamper, dressing table and

via one of the two hollow alumni
mum shafts and through an outlet
on the reverse side of the plastic

At the base of the handle is the
take-up arm spring, which keeps
the bag snug and taut. The only
operation not controlled from the
handle is the emptying of the bag.
A second handle grip, set mid
way down the machine at the top
OF the cord reel. provides a handy
means of carrying the cleaner up
and down stairs. With the 5-inch
high cleaner head of this vacuum
cleaner folded down flat, the ma

the carrying.
The two handles are nodded to

Wipe on Plastic Finish.
Fall house cleaning costs can
be drastically cut and hours of
arm wearying labor saved
throughout the year with a new
liquid plastic that quickly dries
to seal brilliant, long lasting,
cellophane-like coating over
household surfaces.
This transparent plastic takes
the place of waxing floors, furni-
ture and linoleum. Unlike wax, it
is not slippery when used on

floors. And since it retains its
lustre and durable finish for many
months, the. plastic eliminates the
time and expense of constant
cleaning. waxing and polishing.
The plastic can be used to re-
new the finish on woodwork, win
doWsills. painted or vanished
walls, leather chairs. bathroom
fixtures. Venetian blinds and
household appliances. The finish
is impervious to heat, cold, hu-
midity or spilled liquids. It does
not crack or flake off. A damp
cloth or mop easily keeps the
plastic protected surfaces clean.
1t is easy to apply. Simply wipe
it on with clean cloth to the
surface to be protected. One of
its money-Saving features is that
"a small amount ref1nishes a large
area. A gallon covers 1000 square
feet, or sufficient to decorate the
average five-room house or apart
ment.
The manufacturer points out
that the finish has been tested

success Of the idea depends upon
deciding what you want to accom-

building the wall accordingly.
The actual building of a storage
wall is a simple matter. The ma
terial used is ordinary boards
such as are used in putting up
shelves, which are cut and nailed
together to provide the number of
shelves, cabinets or drawers

Small doors and drawers are
usually available in building ma

be bought unpainted from fur
niture shops.
AS rule. the wall is painted
to match the trim or walls of
the room, with the back of the
open shelves painted in a bright
contrasting color. When good
taste is used in the color scheme,

HomeGodgets
By D. IA. Derwin

Americans today have a repu-
tation. both within their own
borders and in other countries as
well. Of being a people who get
things done and get them done
quickly. So much so is this belief
established that there is a ten
dency to classify us all as very
impatient"
Perhaps the reader finds this
applies in some degree to himself
when he starts to redecorate his
own home. In cases where a
floor is repainted or room re-
decorated, he becomes impatient
to use it as soon as the painting
is finished even to hurrying the
testing when he knows the sur
face hasn't had time to dry suf-
ficiently.
Those of us always in hurry
will be glad to learn of a starting
step forward in surface decora-
tion-the development of satin
like coating in many colors that
is not an enamel or a paint, yet
capable of withstanding the
harshest treatment. It will dry
in only two hours.
Under laboratory tests for sew
eral years. this new type coating
can be easily applied by mere
brushing. Able to withstand the
severest treatment from alkalis,
scratching. chipping. fruit juices.
hot grease. and scuffling. and yet
retain a silk smooth surface, it
is adaptable for all household
uses, all types of wall surfaces, as
well as wood and metal.
Applied to furniture it gives
the appearance of fine hand
rubbed finish. In kitchens and
bathrooms where hard scrubbing
is a factor. the coating stands up
under every possible strain.
Unlike many current quick-dr
ing enamels that require at least
four hours to dry, this dries in but
two. Its free-flowing action does
not leave brush marks or ridges,
and will cover most surfaces with
just one coat. No. special under
coat or primer is required for
new wood,s-wall board, or other
porous surfaces.
It is available in a variety of
colors, as well as black and white,
to fulfill all decorators desires,
and comes in half-pint. pint,
quart and gallon sizes.
