Home Freezer Trends

Families considering buying q
home freezer during the coming
year may be interested in some
recent trends in this equipment.
as noted by DR.. Earl McCracken,
household equipment specialist of
the United States Department of
Agriculture.
One trend in purchasing is to-
ward larger sizes in freezers, DR..
McCracken says. A small family
which would have chosen a
freezer of Z or 8 cubic foot ca
pacity a few years ago now gen.
orally chooses a IL to IA cubic
foot size, he says. More is known
about the many convenient uses
for a freezer. Thus a larger
size that holds larger stocks of
food and a greater variety is
likely to be more convenient than
o freezer a few feet smaller.
More upright freezers are being
purchased today, DR.. McCracken
notes. One reason, he believes,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1953-03-20

Is that they take up less floor
space than the chest freezers
and thus are especially in de-
mand in the smaller homes being
built today. Also. more manu-
facturers are Offering upright
types. The upright freezer is
taller and opens in front like q
refrigerator. An upright usually
costs more than a chest model
because more costly construction
is required. One reason a chest
type freezer can be built less ex-
pensively is that it opens from
the top, and the refrigerating
coils can be wrapped completely
around the inner walls Of the
cabinet.

Plaster Crack Needs Drastic Action
By Roger c. Whitmon

Question: When we purchased
our house there was a crack on
the end wall of the living room
running from the corner near
the ceiling down. The outline
resembles steps. We had the
room decorated and the cracks
were patched. but they soon re-
appeared. Could you tell us
what the reason may be for this
condition and how it could be
fixed permanently?
Answer: From the description
given. I suspect that the plaster
was applied on gypsum lath and
the steps outline the edges Of
the sheets. I suggest removing
the plaster for a distance Of 2
inches on each side of the crack
and fastening in place a wire
mesh or screening. covering the
joints where the sheets of lath
meet. The area should then be
replastered.
Soiled Glazed Brick Walls.
Question: Our home is built of
yellow glazed brick with red
mortar joints. The bricks are
slightly dirty and we would like
to clean them. What should we
use? Will cleaning cause the
bricks or mortar to become dis
colored?
Answer: Wet the walls with
clear water. then scrub them
with a solution of any one of the
new detergent powders. using
about one-half cupful in each
pail of warm water. Scrubbing
should be started at the bottom
of the wall and the area below
the section that is to be scrubbed
should be kept wet to keep the
dirt from leaving permanent
streaks. Thorough rinsing with
clear water should follow. The
glazed brick will not be affected
in any way by the cleaning
process. Whether or not the red
mortar will return to its natural
color depends on the nature of
the dirt and how deeply it has
penetrated before cleaning.
RavooyaI of WbifauoSh
Question: The walls of our
basement are whitewashed and
we wish to coat them with a
waterproof paint. Does the
Evening star., 1953-09-12

whitewash have to be removed
and how can this be done?
Answer: The whiteWash must
be removed. To accomplish this,
Scrape off as much of it as pos
sible with a wire brush, then
soak down the whitewash with a
solution of washing soda, using
about a cupful in each pail of
hot water. After a few minutes,
scrub with more of the solution
then rinse we'll with clear water.

Doctor al Air Base
Gets 6-Month Term
BY the Associoted Press

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, June s.
Thomas Alden Johnston, Al, has
been sentenced to six months in
jail for making false statements
when applying for a job as a
civilian medical doctor at Lack
land Air Force Base.
Testimony showed Johnston
has never received a degree in
medicine. He had worked up
to assistant chief of medical serv-
ice at Lakeland Hospital and
was in charge of the out-patient
clinic there.
During his trial this week,
Johnston testified he has per-
formed all lines of surgery. and
has practiced medicine for 18
years. He claims he once de-
livered quadruplets in a Ken
lucky mining town by lamplight.
Johnston's attorney says the
doctor" has letters from several
Air Force captains and majors
asserting that Johnston was cap
able and competent in medical
duties!
He added that Johnston un-
doubtedly has become proficient
as a medical man and physician
without having a medical degree.
He said his client obtained a
certificate from a diploma mill"
in Massachusetts, for $3.50.
Johnston also claims to have
perfected a patent medicine that
will cure ulcers after a patient
has taken two bottles. He said
he had built up lucrative prac-
tice in San Antonio.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. June 6.
A make-believe Confederate Air
Force in which commissions may
be had for ST plus postage, has
mushroomed into one of the
zaniest national mail order bus
ineSSeS.
In the last few months, 1000
full chicken colonelS-a roost
of eagles Gen. Robert E. Lee
never dreamed of-have been
commissioned in the Rebel air
wing.
They were elected to their
distinguished" rank after send
ing 81 to a Montgomery mail
order house that nationally ad-
vertises: "Be a colonel today!
Your commission as a full
colonel in the Confederate Air
Force is waiting for you :.
for the price of 81 plus postage. +"
The advertisement makes it
clear that the Confederate Air
Force is mot an actual organiza-
tion." This, however, deters no
one who wants Confederate
colonels commission hand
somely printed on 9x12-inch,
high-quality paper and with
a gold seal making it look au-
thentic."
Most orders come from pri-
Yates and second lieutenants who
are delighted to pay 81 for pro-
