Answer: Scrape of the thick
est part Of the plaster with q
coarse sandpaper or emery cloth.
The remainder can be taken off
by rubbing with a fine sand
paper.
If results are not entirely sat
isfactory, wet the surfaces with
water, then scrub the area with
a solution Of one part muriatic
acid in 10 parts Of water. Allow

utes and scrub with more of the

q fiber brush should be used for
Scrubbing. Since this chemical
is highly corrosive, wear rubber

Question: I plan to inclose the
terrace with combination storm
and screen doors. There will be
no heat here. I know this area
will be of little value in winter.
viii I get much condensation?
Are there any other drawbacks
in using this type Of material for
the inclosure?
Answer: II the windows and
door leading from the house to
the inclosed terrace are not
weather-tight. leakage Of warm
air into this area may cause con-
densation to form on the storm
door panels as well as the floor.
Weatherstripping Of the doors
and windows may be necessary.
When the combination doors are
fitted into place. all joints should
be made tight with caulking
compound and wood strips.

Ice Pool Game Faces
Threat of Breakdown

FAIRBANKS, R-The issue of
punchboards has split law en-
forcement agencies in the Fair
banks area, and Alaska's favorite
game, guessing the ice breakup
times, appeared to be threatened.
1t all started when u. S. Mar
shall Ted McRoberts issued an
order which bans all punchboards
in the Fourth Division. The
boards must be taken down or
operators will face arrest.
District Attorney Robert J. Nc
Nealy indicated that he looked
with disfavor on the order by the
marshal. It will be up to McNealy
to prosecute all punchboard op-
orators who may be arrested.
McNealy said he would prose-
cute punchboard operators "only
with the same vigor I would
prosecute those who participate
in card games and who parti-
cipate in the traditional ice pool
ticket sales"
McNealy apparently indicated
his office would not prosecute
punchboard operators so long as
ice pool tickets were being sold
openly all over the territory
Some observers feared his ac-
ton would drag the ice pool ticket
sales into a controversy which
might result in a breakdown on
Alaska's favorite sports.

versy over this legislation that
there was born the famous re-
mark, "the way to resume is to
resume"
Here is what happened.
Gold Standard Worked In 1879
The money in circulation plus
deposits in banks totalled $2,O43,-
100000 in 1878. The amount of
gold on hand for redemption Of
currency was $133,OOO,OOO or 6.5
per cent of the total money and
deposits. There were six and one
half dollars Of gold for every hun
dred dollars of money and bank
deposits.
On Jan. 2, 1879, the first day
of redemption, the public turned
in $4,000 of paper money for
redemption, but they brought in
100000 in gold to get paper
money. That was the trend for
the year following. Bank deposits
and paper money in circulation
both increased during the year.
Confidence was restored and the
people learned that it is true that
"the way to resume is to resume"
It can be done now. We have
almost twice as much gold per
dollar Of money and bank de-
posts, II per cent in 1852 as
against SIS per cent in 1878. 1t is
difficult to think of any other one
measure that would do so much
to restore sound currency and
stop further initiation and devel-
opment of totalitarianism in gov
eminent, as the restoration Of
gold redemption for paper money.

Let's Return To
Gold Standard
BY DR.. Alfred P. Haake

Money is still a mystery to
millions of people. That is why
governments can do the often out
rageouS things that frequently
bring little protest from the peo-
pie And when the prostitution of
a currency is so conducted as to
raise prices along with money
wages and apparently bring pros
perity, the majority Of the people
may even ask for and welcome
more of the same-for a while.
They are slow to realize that,
like the ruinous schemes Of one
John Law several centuries ago
and others since, irredeemable
currency not only dilutes the pur-
chasing power of every honest
dollar in existence and robs peo-
pie Of their savings, but it also is
the surest weapon of the totali-
tartan to cement his control on
a people.
Sound Currency Promised in 80
There were Democrats who rec
ognized the tremendous impor-
lance of maintaining a sound cur
rency based on the Gold Standard,
making it possible for people to
continue exchanging their paper
money for gold. So the Demo-
cratic platform of 1882 contained
q sound currency plank, one that
won many votes for them in 1882.
But the New Dealers repudiated
the Democratic pledge Of 1882 and
established instead an irredeem-
able currency to breed unlimited
spending and tOtalitarian control.
COP Platform In 1852
Then the Republicans, writing
their platform Of 1852 to correct
the monetary evils that had al
ready destroyed the buying power
Of over half the total savings,
pledged themselves to restore gold
redemption Of paper money.
Now there are signs that the
Republicans may repudiate their
pledge to restore sound curren-
cy. Unless the people rise up and
demand that there actually be a
stop to the issue of irredeemable
money instruments, that we cease
to initiate and dilute further the
purchasing power of citizens dol
lars-it is possible that even a
Republican Congress-, having
raised its hands in holy horror at
the spectacle Of corruption and
promise-breaking Of previous
administration, may itself fail to
keep its own word in the face of
adjustments that must come with
the restoration of a sound cur
rency.
We believe there is plenty of
courage as well as common sense
in the Congress to keep the pledge
to restore redemption Of our cur
rency in gold, if the people them
selves demand it. That is the
surest way to stop socialism and
the further growth of totalitarian-
ism. 1t is irredeemable money that
greases the toboggan to destruc-
ton
If there is doubt as to whether
we have enough gold to make
redemption in gold a safe policy,
look at these facts.
Having gone through the hor-
rors of inconvertible and ire
deemable money after the war
