and fixtures and waxing floors,
doors and woodwork, are being
eased by development Of new
labor-saving products in scientific
laboratories.
One Of these new products, after
being successfully laboratory
tested, is now being marketed as a
brushless, tenacious, plastic film
that is neither a paint nor a var
nish, but protects and seals almost
any surface with brilliant. long
lasting finish.
This plastic film is transparent
and also non-inflammable, and,
when wiped on, gives shining.
mirror like seal to almost any
surface, with a brilliant, long
lasting finish. According to the
manufacturer, it will resist acids.
salts, fruit juices, hot or cold
water and will not crack. chip or
flake. It protects everything to
which it is applied.
Because this plastic resists tenn
perature changes. 1t can be wiped
on in seconds as protective coat
ing to metal lawn furniture. play
ground equipment, gardening and
Ilawn-care equipment. A single
application will last a full year.
Tools thus protected and then
neglected in the rain are resistant
to rust.
Applied to floors. linoleum and
wood surfaces, this plastic finish
produces an extra long-wearing
shine. When dirt accumulates on
a treated surface, just wipe it with
a wet cloth and dirt will vanish
instantly.
The plastic film with its mirror
finish is easy to use. Just pour 1t
out Of the can a little at time on
the surface to be covered, then
wipe it over the surface with a
clean, lint-free cloth. It flows out
and drys evenly and smoothly.
One pint covers an average of
200 square feet. the average
kitchen floor area. The finish is
uick-drying.

enamel wall guard that has

Heating Gable.
Damage to rooms from snow and
ice dams which cause water to back
up under shingles and caves can
now be prevented by heating cable,
easily installed along the caves in
saw-tooth pattern. A 60-foot
length, which can be plugged into
an ordinary home outlet. will use
about q penny's worth of electricity
per hour. The current may be
turned on only during a snowstorm
or Immediately afterward to keep
open channels through the snow and
ice dams.
This same cable has been used
successfully for heating soil in hot
beds and greenhouses, for warming
floors In kennels and poultry houses,
for keeping pipelines from freezing
and for keeping sidewalks. steps
and driveways clear of ice and snow

alent to a "cost plus basis.
Observers in the building field
will tell you that home usually
costs more when it Is built by a
small operator, but they will be
quick to say that frequently the
workmanship is better and that

1T costs more per cubic foot,

seasoned observer said today.
Many good small builders are
former building trades crafts
men, who have become contract

the crafts, is probably the greatest
source among the building trades
of small house builders.
However, anyone can get into

Provisions of Public Law 339
which liberalizes compensation
benefits for veterans, their de-
pendents and beneficiaries, were
summarized today by the Veter-
ans Administration.
The new law, signed by the
President October 10, provides
for an increase in basic compen-
sation rates of 81 percent for all
World War II veterans who have
service connected disabilities and
for World War / veterans whose
disabilities have been determined
by VA to be directly service
connected.
For example, the veteran who
is rated as 10 percent disabled
and who comes under either of
these two categories, will receive
an increase in his monthly COM
pensation check from $3.50 to
$500. The increases will be pro-
portionate for those with higher
disability ratings up to the vet
eran rated as 100 percent dis
abled, who will get $3.50 per
month instead of the Sl38 he now
receives.
Effective Dec.
The increase in basic compen-
sation rates will become effect
effective Dec. /, l949.
In addition to the increase in
compensation rates, the new law
will:
/. Provide additional compen-
sation for veterans with depend
ents who are rated so percent
or more diSables. Heretofore
only veterans with dependents
who were rated 60 percent or
more disabled were eligible to
receive additional compensation.
2. Raise the rate on compensa-
ton for World War | veterans
with presumed service con-
nected disabilities to the rate
currently being paid to veterans
whose disabilities are determined
TO be directly service connected.
3. Establish new compensation
ratings for veterans with arrested
cases of tuberculosis. 1t provides
for 100 percent rating for the
first two years following the date
the disease was arrested. For
four years after that the rate is
set at so percent. The law also
fixes disability ratings for longer
periods and requires a veteran to
submit to examination and fol-
low prescribed treatment. Fail
ure to do so may result in his
rating being reduced from 100
percent to so percent for the two
years following the arrest of the
disease.
More Death Compensation

sation to wartime widows with
