The most outstanding rust prob
lens facing most people are those
involving metal sash and the
underside of automobile tenders
and chasSes. These are especially
severe matters along the coast,
where salt air. rather quick
changes in temperature, and con-
slant relatively high humidity
activate rust.
Secondary rust problems are
encountered in cellars where
dampness exists. House waste
pipes, as we'll as hot and cold
water pipes, have a tendency to
rust and drop dust constantly.
Rust is silent and thorough in its
daily destruction of iron and steel.
Unless corrective steps are taken
to remove the causes. expensive
requirements will have to be made.
The majority of causes can be
easily and effectively eliminated.

Backyard Waste-Bin
Adds 10 Cleanliness,
Held Easy 10 Build
By DouqIos Tuomey

There are very few items which
will contribute more to the neat
ness and cleanliness of the back
yard or the rear of the house than
a good, substantial waste-bin.
Garbage and waste-cans are not
things of beauty in themselves
and, as most suburban hometown
ers know, dogs have the habit of
upsetting the cans to get at the
contents, with unpleasant results.
A good bin will cost plenty. but
any man who can use hammer
and saw can make one for a few
dollars worth Of plywood and 2x4
studding.
The first step in building the
bin is to make a plain frame of
the 2x4. laying it out three, four
or five feet long and two feet or
more in depth from front to back.
The second step is to assemble
three pieces Of the 2x4 so as to
make the side frames. These are
placed on the bottom frame and
nailed securely into it. The next
step is to sheathe or cover the
front, back and sides with ply
wood. No bracing, cross-pieces or
other strengthening is required. as
the plywood is stiff and strong.
and, when well-nailed into the
side frames and bottom frame, the
bin will be solid and rugged.
The cover is made of plywood
cut so as to overlap the edges Of
the sides and front by y inch. It
is secured by two large strap
hinges screwed into the cover and
the outside of the back.
A hand-hole is cut in the top
edge of the front to make lifting
easy. Two pieces of 2x4 are run
under the bin from front to back
to keep it above ground level.
The floor of the bin is cut care
fully so as to fit around the 2x4
uprights, dropped into place and
nailed into the bottom frame. The
assembly should be painted inside
and out with color to match the
house and make it inconspicuous.

to some teens, these car races
rate approximately the same. Yet
teens continue to throng the
stands at such speedways as Lam
ham near Washington, and Lang
horn outside Philadelphia. About
once a week there's a meet consist
ing of four or five short events
where the cars sprint for about
five laps. This type of racing
differs from regular auto speed
races in that the cars used are
standard makes, "souped-up" for
greater speed. This is part of
the secret of teen interest. 1t

An accident last month. In

The Labor governments political
foes took a different view. Anthony

Of the trip.
A Treasury spokesman said he
