several Red soldiers and forced
others to flee. But the enemy
dropped a rain of explosives on
him. Although badly wounded,

Of course, careful concealment

How to paint wallpaper is be-
coming a universal problem in
this do-it-yourself age. Our
womenfolks are now so faStidi-
Gus they give us a CLASSY stare
when we suggest that we just
go ahead and paint and see
what happens.
Well, thanks to the ladies, we
realize this could be an expensive
experiment, especially if we have
to call in a professional to undo
any damage. Wallpaper can be
tricky. It can blister. bulge, curl
or fade through some paints.
Also, so many houses have
been built with gypsum wall
board, which itself is covered
with paper, that redecorating is
even trickier.
It seems that one Of the short
cuts Cor trade secrets") of some
builders Cor their Subcontrac-
tors) has been to apply wall
paper directly to paper-covered
wallboard with no sizing or
special paste to permit the wall
paper to be removed without de-
stroying the wallboard. Painting
the wallpaper therefore becomes
about the only economical re-
decoration.
Faced with such a problem,
this writer has sifted the advice
of several authorities. One ex-
pert, a paint manufacturer, re-
duces the job to a fairly simple
operation, provided the wallpaper
is tight. Another authority warns
of proper application and proper
treatment of dry wall construc-
ton in the first place. A third,
a contractor, emphasizes the
amount of work involved in a
satisfactory job.
First we asked the head of q
paint company. He said:
Paper that has bulges. bub-
bleS or blisterS will not hold paint
properly and will give an uneven
finish. 1t is fairly simple to de-
termine whether your paper is
