greatest force today, with 661 mil
lions from Pakistan and Indonesia
reaching across to the Middle East
and Africa. Islam is aggressive. It
thinks of itself as the third force be-

Christianity is in retreat!
Asia is ready for progress and
power. When we stop to think what
Japan did in sixty years, it is not
hard to believe what Asia may do
in the next sixty years. 1t is ready
to assert its will, and that expression
will take the form of Nationalisn.

because of her size and potential
resources, plus the added prestige
gained by her fight against the white
man in Korea, becomes the natural
leader of Asia.
What can we do? There is a
negative and positive approach.
First, we must recognize that Russia
is not the only factor that stands
between peace and the world. Every
leader of Communism in Russia and
the satellite countries could be liqui-
dated and the problem of world
revolution would persist. When we
see Russia, we see tyranny. When
they see Russia, they see escape.
Their principal problem is misery.

offer better solution than Com
munism if Asia is to be helped. We
of the United States have missed the
point We have given billions for
armies and peanuts for mankind's
welfare.
"As Stringfellow Barr has pointed
out, the United States Know-How

worlds economy. 1t will REQUIRE
the united efforts of the world. Fur
Their, free enterprise cannot do it. it's
business is to earn profits. If all of
its profits were plowed into the
countries of Asia, it still would not
be enough. Positively, we must turn
to the nations of the world for col
lectlve action. Our great hope is in
the United Nations, not as a debating
body, nor as a police force, but as
a promoter of better living.
Perhaps world government is our
only answer. True, we are not ready
for this, but it may be the answer
for tomorrow. Further, we must
give our best brains to this Asian
problem We must have patience

failure IS too staggering to allow us
to go on with less than confidence. y

on pipe coverings can be wrapped
over this plaster to give a neat
appearance.
Asbestos cement also is used to
cover steam boilers. A 100-pound
bag will cover 20 to Is feet, one
inch thick. Ten-pound bags are
available for small jobs.
In covering a boiler, allow the
first coat to become almost dry,
then stretch wire mesh over it
and apply the second coat. The
stretching of the mesh may cause
some cracks in the undercoat. but
the mesh will reinforce both coats.
Corrugated asbestos paper or
similar insulators are used for
warm air ducts. These coverings
are applied in three layers. Meas
ure around the duct and allow
about an inch and a half more
for overlap.
After tying this layer around
the duct, measure over it for the
second layer and its overlap. Then
measure over the second layer for
the third. The ends of each layer
should be staggered and wire
binding or metal bands should be
spaced every 18 inches or so to
secure the job.
INSPECTION of the inside of
furnace during the heating season
is a good idea. If excessive SCOT
has accumulated, it may mean in
efficient combustion or wrong type
of fuel.
Directions supplied by manufac-
turers should be carefully fol-
lowed for all automatic heating
plants. such as oil burners, me-
chanical stokers and gas heaters.
Such instructions are based on
experience and field tests.
FUEL DEALERS often provide
service for heating plants at NOM
inal charges in connection with a
years fuel contract. Arrange
ments of this type with reputable
dealers can be very advantageous.
Thorough spring cleaning of
heating plants is very important.

become damp with summer con-
densation, chemical reaction can
do much damage to metal work.

provements you'll make in the
spring and summer when the heat
is off.
While your basement is warm
and dry, you can examine what
ravages last summers condensa-
tion may have wrought. No mat
ter what type of heating plant
you have. it's a good idea to have
1t stand on rust-proof, flre-proof
blocks to keep 1t away from the
concrete floor.
Thorough insulation will in
crease the efficiency of any heat
ing system and cut your fuel bills
down accordingly.
Winter is the best time to in
sulate hot water and steam pipes
and warm air ducts. You will find
all of them dry, easy to clean and
they will take insulation better
while they are warm.
Some people forego this insula-
tion because they want a warm
basement. But that is expensive
and inefficient. A separate heat
ing outlet for the basement is
more sensible. Or in the case of
warm air systems. leaving return'
ducts uncovered. often supplies
enough warmth for the basement.

these in sections three feet long.
They are split lengthwise on one
side to permit slipping them over
a pipe. They can be obtained
from your heating contractor or

Buying Homes Better

time of the Korean outbreak
1880 members of the armed
forces were in this area, and
that the number has risen
considerably since then. 4
Army officers with depend

rental allowance, he said:
Second lieutenant, $75; first
lieutenant. $3.50; captain,

Repairs Held Possible
In Slight Buck|ing
OF Ping-Pong Table
BY Roger c. Whitmon

Question: Our ping-pong table
has buckled slightly, due to mois-
ture dripps1e from condensation
on water pipes on the basement
ceiling. Is it necessary to replace
the entire TOP or can something be
done to remedy the condition? The
table is practically useless now,
since every time the ping pong
ball strikes the buckled area it
falls or rolls dead. Any informa-
ton will be appreciated.
Answer: The fact that the ball
rolls ar falls dead when 1t strikes
the buckled spot leads me to be-
lieve that the top veneer has
separated from the layers below.
Put a slit into the buckle and
spread a casein or plastic resin
glue under the veneer. Press down
into place ond put weights on it
for a couple of days or until the
glue has dried hard.
Question: How can I remove
deep-seated CRIME on an old
fashioned marble washstand? I
have tried hot water, soap and
securing powder with poor results.
I've also tried scraping with a
knife, but that's too tedious.
Answer: The following method
may succeed. but it will also be
tedious. Make a liquid in these
proportions: 2 pounds of triso-
dium phosphate dissolved in
gallon of hot water. II ounces of
chlorinated lime Chloride of lime)
made into a paste in an enameled
or pottery vessel by adding water
slowly and mashing the Jumps;
the two are mixed in a pottery
or stoneware jar and water added
to make two gallons.
Stir well. cover the jar, and
use the clear liquid after settle
ment of the lime. A piece of
canton flannel is folded to sew
eral thicknesses, saturated with
this liquid, and placed over the
stain. preferably covered with a
sheet of glass to check evapora-
ton. Re-wet the cloth when
bad stains can be re-
only with several applica-
tions. Another process is to rub
with a block of pumice stone,
using plenty of water.
Question: I had my front door
vanished and now it looks darker
instead Of light. How can I re-
move this dark color? Would it!
be possible to varnish over it
again without taking off the door?
It is grooved in plenty tight. Or
should I paint the door?
Answer: I believe you would get
better effect if you paint the door
'ather than try to revarnish it.
although you could do so if you
AXE off the present varnish
You can take off the varnish

with a portable electric sander,
or soften the varnish with a nom
inflammable varnish remover and
then. after scraping. clean off
every trace of remover with tur-
pentine. (Some removers do not
need this afterwash; check up
with your dealer)
If you prefer, you can dull the
gloss of the varnish by sanding.
then wipe with a cloth dipped
in turpentine and apply one coat
of aluminium paint, then one
enamel undercoater and finish
with enamel suitable for outdoor
use. Or finish with two coats of
housepaint.
