Build a Good Ladder
For Safety, Endurance

Most people who work around
their house need a ladder to reach
the caves of roof, cutters. Chin
neys or windows. AS a rule. these
ladders are made by taking two
substantial pieces of wood and
mailing lighter strips across them
The best that can be said for most
of these assemblies is that they
are rickety and. often. unsafe.
A really substantial ladder OF
any length can be made by cutting
two pieces of 2x4 wood to the de-
sired length. cutting out notches
to receive the rungs and set ir
strips of 2x2 stock. The notches
should be cut accurately, as showl
in the Illustration. and the rungs
set in neatly with two galvanized
nails driven into the 2x4 carriers
After the ladder is assembled il
should be given two coats of gooc
outside paint, and you will ther
have a piece of equipment which
will last many years.
Many people prefer round rung:
instead of square ones. So yor
buy lengths of clothes-pole. bore
corresponding holes in 2x4s anc
drive rungs through. To get the
right kind of lumber. it is sug-
gested that you tell your lumber
yard what you desire to make ano
they will select light, strong wooe
for you.

By DouoIos Tuomey

One of the nice things about an
attached garage is the fact that
you can get into and out of your
car without being exposed to the
bad weather.
Another benefit is that the car
is protected from the elements
the paint is saved and the car is
easy to start. All this means a
lot to the average homeowner
While the attached garage is such
convenience, it is usually not
heated and as a result it does have
a chilling effect on the house tc
which it is attached.
The cause of this is simply that
the door or doors don't fit tight in
the wall. and allow heat to be
absorbed from the house.
If you look carefully, you will
see. that the main points at which
there is a large gap between door
and garage wall or floor, is at the
bottom and top of the door. It is

Serious Heat Losses Saved
By Rubber Weather Stripping

through these spaces that heat
escapes and cold enters. A recent
experiment shows that the use
of a round rubber weather strip
ping reduces the heat loss by IS
per cent.
This type Of weather strip con-
sists of a round rubber tube hav-
ing a wire-re-enforced f1ange. The
strip is installed by mailing the
flange securely against the bottom
edge of the door and the top edge
of the door frame. When the door
lis closed down the rubber tube is
compressed, making a very tight
seal along the floor line. At the
same time the upper edge of the
door congresses the rubber strip
at the top.
If the door fits too loosely along
the sides, the strip can also be in
stalled at those joints. Aside from
making a heat-saver, this strip
also prevents rain and snow from
driving in through the door.

Clean While It's Easy

Any bristle brush can be readily
cleaned while it is still soft. It's
necessary, however, to use the
proper thinner for the kind of
paint in which it has been used.
Brushes which have been used in
oil-base paint, enamel or varnish
should be cleaned in turpentine,
followed by naphtha or mineral
spirits. Alcohol is the proper
cleanser for brushes used in
shellac or alcohol stain.

Stuins Add Beuuty

In the early days of the piano
and cabinet industries, only the
best grades of such woods as
walnut and mahogany were used.
Stains were applied to them to
produce uniformity in surface
color. AS the supply of first quail
iity woods became depleted. stains
were used to simulate the natural
shades of the finer woods.

OCTOBER 3 DATE
TO VOTE ON Y
MILLION ISSUE
More Funds Advocated for
Public Schools and Mental
Institutions

Southern Pines, N. c., The
proposed bond issues for North
Carolina public schools and mental
hospitals is sound and justified
proposal, State Treasurer Edwin
Gill told the Sandhills Kiwapjs
Club here on August &c.
"The need is great, the cause is
worthy, and the sound financial
ondition of North Carolina amply
justifies such action, the State
Treasurer said in an address before
one of the few countrywide civic
clubs in America, embracing a
membership from t h roug h ou t
Moore county.
Speaking as one familiar with
the fiscal history of North Caro-
lima for the past 25 years, Mr.. Gill,
who served as North Carolina
Commissioner of Revenue and as
North Carolina Collector of Inter
nal Revenue for the government of
the United States before becom-
ing State Treasurer, said: Il do
not hesitate to endorse the issu-
ance of these bonds"
North Carolina will vote October
3 on the issuance of bonds totalling
SO million for public schools and
% million for mental hospitals.
"On October 8 North Carolina
has a date with destiny" Mr.. Gill
said. "On this day, we will decide
great issue which involves not
only the welfare of hundreds upon
hundreds of the mentally i'll, but
also the future of many thousands
of children in the public schools.
care we to continue the march
of progress which began with
Aycock in 1900? Surely there can
be but one answer. We will not
turn back the clock. On this i'm
portant day, North Carolina will
tell the world that she is able and
willing to take care of her own.
Every humane and progressive in
stinct that has characterized the
spirit of North Carolina for the
past so years predicts that we will
vote yes on October 8.
"There is no question about the
need. Those best informed as to the
state of our mental hospitals, and
those who have given their lives
to leadership in education, tell us
that these funds are absolutely
essential to the maintenance of
minimum standards and require
ments. What they say to us is
undersigned by those of the men
tally ill who are still held in jails
and in other places not suited to
their condition-and by crowded
school rooms, in some cases made
quately ventilated and lighted and
without satisfactory sanitation IA
cilities.
ain my opinion, we are not only
faced with the demands of a great
cause which lie heavily on our
heart and conscience, but we are
faced with an opportunity to make
a sound investment in our own fu-
ture. Like physical resources, our
human assets require judicious
conservation and development"
