Aid to Houses
By ROGER 6. Whitman

Question:: Could you tell me what
to do with the grids of my waffle
iron? The waffles stick every time.
The iron is about nine months old,
and up until just a couple of
weeks ago it worked fine, but now
the batter sticks on both top and
bottom grids.
I followed the directions that
came with it as to what to do in
such a case, but they didn't help
bit. Also, could you tell me how
to clean the black from the grids?
Answer: I believe that if you
would be more liberal with the
shortening in the batter you would
not have so much trouble. AL
though you did not say that your
wafne-iron is an electric one, I
presume it is.
For some reason the directions
given for making wafnes appear to
ne bit stingy about the shorten
ing. If you would double the
usual amount Cor almost double it,
l feel sure you would have better
success. You can clean off hard
ened batter with a clean, stiff
brush, either fibre or soft wire.
You might have the iron
cleaned up at an electric appli-
ance shop. If that cannot be done,
you can clean it at home by COW
ering the iron with a paste of
baking soda moistened with water
and allowed to dry. This will
remove much of the discoloration.
Before using again, however, it
should be brushed with a veg
etable oil and heated, which is
the same treatment given to a new
Waffle-iron.
This is necessary because the
baking soda. in addition to taking
out the discoloration, also will re-
move the grease from the SUR
face. cThis treatment is not suit
able for a grid made of alumni
num- Do not expect the iron to
remain bright and shiny, for it
will color up again the next time
you use it. Do not wash the grids
with soap and water, since wash
ing removes the grease.
Dull Looking Bathtub.
Question:: Could you tell me if
there is a way of having a bath
tub reenameled? 1t is quite dull,
and since it's a built-in tub it
would be quite a job to pull it
out and have new one put in.
Answer: There is no way to re-
enamel bathtub. I advise you
to call in a plumber and let him
be the one to decide whether or
not new one can be put in to
replace the old one. A plumber
should know how to take the old
one out.
Roof Shingle Stain.
Question: The roof of our home
is of wood shingles which were
replaced about Is years ago and
we think have never been painted
or stained. We would like to stain
them with a creosote oil stain in
order to prolong the life of the
shingles. Some people say that is
the right thing to do and some
others say that we would lose our
time and money by doing the job.
We would like to know your sug-
gestions on the subject.
Answer: agree with you most
definitely. A good shingle stain
(not paint on a roof would pro-
long the life of the shingles. A
good mixture can be made as fol-
lows: Four gallons raw linseed oil,
two gallons coal-tar creosote oil,

Macdonald ScOffs At Rail To Alaska; Wants Road Link

FAIRBANKS (P)-The Father of the Alaska Highway" Donald Mcdonald, labels as another pile driver to drive a tack" the pro posal that President Truman ne gotiate with Canada for the con Struction of a rail link from Prince George, B. C., to Kobi on the Alaska Railroad.
 The project, Macdonald said, was "an effort to unload on U. s. taxpayers the Canadian govern ment owned railroad, which like the Alaska Railroad, is unable to pay it's own way"
 Macdonald recommended in stead the construction of a 550- mile stretch of highway which would shorten the present road connection between Seattle and Fairbanks by 1000 miles. The highway would run from Fort St. James to Atlin, B. C., and would

WASHINGTON, R-Legisla- ton to authorize federal courts in Alaska to determine the value of mink lost because noisy army air planes caused old mink to kill kit tens was approved yesterday by the House. It now goes to the Sen ate. ~ -,
 Fred L. Kroesing of Anchorage, estimated his loss at $7,070 while Hilda Links and E., J. Ohman of Anchorage estimated their loss at $12,799.
 The mink farm owners told the House judiciary committee that in the spring of 1941. shortly after the young mink were born, army airplanes engaged in maneuvers over Anchorage and the two mink farms.
 The unusual noise, they said caused the old mink to kill the kittens and ruined their business.
 The owners originally filed claims for larger amounts with the army. They were not allowed on the ground they had not been filed within one year.

THE LID AT JUNEAU
Tuesday. March l. l949 (By James Hutcheson)

JUNEAU, P)-While the Sen ate spent yesterday afternoon hearing testimony, the House passed three bills and one memo rial, killed another measure and then cancelled a scheduled over time night session:
 Gaining House approval were:
 A bill providing motor fuel tax monies collected from marine equipment should revert to con- struction and maintenance of wa terfront harbor and marine facili- ties. The vote was 19 to 4.
 The bill providing an enabling act to allow municipalities to en- act sales tax up to ? per cent if approved by popular referendum. The vote was 18 to 5.
 A bill providing procedure for enlarging school districts by .peti- ton and election. The vote was 23 to o.
 Unanimous backing also was given to a memorial introduced by Rep. Amelia A. Gunderson, First Division Democrat. Addressed to the President, Congress and fed eral agencies, it asks a $2,00O,0O0 appropriation for permanent inn provements on Ketchikan's water front thoroughfare.
