Humidity Explains
Some Paint Failure

Painting Of farm buildings dur
ing late fall should be limited to
late morning and early afternoon
hours, advises Ray w. Carpenter,
extension agricultural engineer at
the University of Maryland.
Moisture resulting from high hui
midity is readily absorbed by wood
and if covered with sealing coat
Of paint, it will tend to blister and
peel the paint later.
For the same reason it is neces-
Sary to postpone painting following
the rain wetting Of a surface until
it is thoroughly dried.
Paint failures are mainly due to
the action of moisture escaping
from the walls and pushing off the
paint film. The humidity developed
within homes and barns during
winter is prime source of mois-
ture loaded walls and the reason
for characteristic spring-time
failure of paints, Mr.. Carpenter
points out,
Occasionally paint fails because
an entirely different formulation
has been applied on a previous coat.
Among the newer paints there is
more likelihood for incompatibility.
1t is, therefore. we'll to make a
record of the paint formula or
brand and type in order that fol-
lowing coats may be of the same
material and thus avoid trouble,
Mr.. Carpenter suggests.

Speaking of Appreciation
This past weekend | heard a

works with families that are fall

For instance, Milo Downey,
Maryland's All boys leader, had
been razzing his wife the night be-
fore about how long it had been
since he had had am apple pie (his
figure showed it was almost time
for jello.)
After the judges talk, she said,
Il see that I'd better bake that
apple pie"
had to confess that when | got
home was going to see that along
with his glass of milk there would
be a glass of water with ice in it,!
It's good for all of us to get
away from home occasionally to
rediscover how many of the nice
things of life we have at home
and how we can show appreciation.

Every Farm Needs
Space For Repairs

As farms become more highly
mechanical, it becomes increasing
~ important to have a work space
or a room especially reserved for
repairing, remodeling and maintain
ing farm machinery and equipment,
observes Guy W. Gienger, extern
sion agricultural engineer at the
University of Maryland.
A separate repair shop, ideally
lighted, equipped with the essen
tial repair tools and heated for win
ter comfort is not always possible,
but there is seldom a farm where
corner of some building cannot
be set aside for systematic storage
of tools, repair parts and supplies,
he states.
In building a special shop or ad-
dition for machinery storage on
shop work, he suggests, it is desir-
able to allow plenty of space for
the largest unit of farm machinery
plus a clear floor space on at least
one side for work area and for
such equipment as the drill press,
welder, grinder and the all-impor-
tant shop bench with the wise and
parts storage shelves.
Preventative maintenance is lot
cheaper than repairs and gives the
best assurance of continued trouble
free oneration. Gienger points out.

Henry w. Grunewald told

once gave a television set to
General Services Administrator
Jess Larson because he was a

Mr.. Larson, asked about

Grunewald did give him a TV
set land I gave it back to him" 4"
Mr.. Larson said he had no fur

Grunewald, a shadoWy back
ground figure in a number of
congressional Investigations, was
back for another round of Ques-
tioning before Ways and Means
subcommittee investigating in
1uence peddling and tax frauds

Grunewald had testified pre-
viously that high tax officials
were recipients of expensive tel
evision sets, air conditioners and
other gifts which he said he gave
for purely sentimental rea-
sons"
Unable to Recall Date.
The announced plan today was
to question Grunewald further
about a reputed investigation of
the late Federal Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough. It was Judge
Goldsborough who in 1947 levied
fines of $4,000 on John L. Lewis
and $3.5 million on his United

back-to-work court order in
government-seized coal mines.
Chairman Kean asked Grune-
wald if he customarily gave sub
stantial gifts to others than
members of his own family. If
they were good friends, yes,"
Grunewa1d said.
GruneWald said he could not
recall when he gave Mr.. Larson
the TV set, but said the reason
was because Mr.. Larson was a
friend.
