Now don't get me wrong! don't
mean you should slam doors in a
cripple's face, or shove him aside
in a crowd. He merely expects the
normal oourtesies of everyday life.
If he must have assistance, he'll
know it and ask for it.
When he's travelling in public.
a cripple's problem is not so
much the fact that seats. are
offered him .. but h0W they are
offered. How simple it is to rise
quietly and move away, without
making a production" out of it.
AND if he's not near you, he'll
be thankful if you just catch his
eye and look inquiringly at him.
He'll know what you mean. But if
the offer of a seat is hollered half
the length of the vehicle, five will
get you so that he'll refuse, even
though he's ready to collapse.
Doors, of course, should be held
open for any person behind you -
but why continue to hold it for a
person still 20 feet away -. just
because he's a cripple? Why en-
phasize the fact that he is disabled?
So, on behalf of the many thou
sands of handicapped like myself,
say thanks a million - but
please respect our personal decla-
rations of independence and we'll
be ever so grateful!

Every one is conscious Of the i'm
portance of storm windows and
doors and the part they play in
conserving fuel and eliminating
cold rooms by creating insulation
areas of dead air space.
However, even with storm win
dows and doors one finds cold
drafts in homes. Most common
draft areas in a home are at the
door to the cellar. the door to the
attic and the door to the connect
ing garage. 1t is true there are
other areas in q home-usually
between room difficult to heat
and one less difficult to heat
where even the slightest drafts
seem to magnify themselves in
intensity.
Heralded as one of the most
valuable contributions to home
comfort and health in the last
decade is a new, amazingly EN-
cient, automatic device now on the
market which can be installed
quickly and easily by any one on
any door.
This new device keeps out
under-door drafts, insects as well
as dampness, dust and noises, and
does not interfere with the open
ing or closing of the door in the
slightest degree. regardless of the
thickness of or absence of carpet.
This remarkable unit consists OF
a long, striplike metal casing 2
inches high, u inch thick and OF
a length to correspond to the width
Iof the door. Also included is a
small metal channel piece called a
strike plate. and matching screws
for mounting. Protruding from
the upper end of this draft-stop-
ping device is a small button
which, when pressed in, sends
down to the floor a strip Of extra
heavy weather-proofed insulating
felt that positively seals the door,
to-hoor opening, whether the floor
is bare, covered with carpeting
linoleum or tile. The clever
mechanism operating this felt is
concealed.
In use, this device is easily ane
inconspicuously attached to ths
inside bottom of the door by
means of four screws. mounted 81
that the bottom of the metal cas-.
ing is flush with the bottom edg'
of the door.

it and how many coats are neces-
sary? Is sanding between coats
needed?
Answer: Two or three coats Of
pure, fresh shellac are generally
used for finishing Of wood panel
surfaces. The shellac should be
thinned half and half with de-
natured alcohol. It will not be
necessary to rub down each coat
before applying the next. II a
very light finish is desired, use a
white shellac: for a darker effect.
orange shellac is advisable.

Platform Group Asked
To Put Party Behind
Full Citizenship Here
By J. A. O'Leor
Stor Stoff CorYesnondenf

CHICAGO, July 2.-The 800, 0,00C
residents of Washington were de-
lscribed as lower than second-class
IcitizenS as the Districts case fol
suffrage was presented to the Re-
publican Platform Committee to-
day.
The witnesses were George l.
Hart, jr., a District delegate, and
ISturgis Warner of the Central
Suffrage Conference.
Both men indorsed national
representation, as well as home
rule. but disagreed on where the
lemphasis should be placed. Mr.
Hart stressed the Importance OF
full voting rights in presidential
elections. while Mr.. Warner said
local self government should come
first and national suffrage later
I'VE Of the District Of Coliim-
bia are not even second class citi.
zens," Mr.. Hart began. 1--WE have
nothing to say about anything
We have all the detriments oi
citizenship and none of the bene-
fits, and I doubt if one person out
of every 100 in the country knows
we have no vote.
"You may remember President
Truman once said he would not
name John L. Lewis to be a dog
catcher. The only dogcatcher he
appoints is in the District, and we
can't even vote for the man who
appoints our dogcatcher."
Refers to Commissioners.
Mr.. Hart obviously was referring
to the fact that the District Com
missioners, who name the dog
catcher. are appointed by the
President.
The Platform Committee was
told:
When the United States goes te
war, District men go too. and ir
World War II they numbered
103,376. This was more than ID
States provided for military duty
In Federal taxes the District
pays more than Is States. In
1948, the last year of available
figures, the District total was
1858 million.
The District budget has climbed
to $136 million, toward which the
Federal Government pays a lump
sum of only $12 million.
Mr.. Hart said the historical rea-
son for a voteless Capital has long
since passed. 1t began, he said
when the State governments were
strong and the Federal Govern
ment weak.
Cites Taft Testimony.
Mr.. Warner said his group feels
very strongly that local suffrage
should come first, because it can
be obtained much easier. He read
the testimony of Senator Taft o1
Ohio last August in favor of the
home-rule bill still pending ir
Congress.
"I agree Fundamentally with
Mr.. Hart that eventually We
should try to get national repre-.
Sentation," said Mr.. Warner. 'l
do not concur with him, it shoulc
be emphasized first" :
Mr.. Hart recommended a plank
which would indorse both nationa,
representation and local self gov.
ernment. Mr.. Warner suggested
it be modified to say, "We favor
self government and eventual ma
ltional suffrage"
The Platform Committee will
not reach decisions before early
next week.
