Problems Todoy
Disappointed
Over Beuu's
Affections
BY MurieI Nissen

DEAR MISS NISSEN: I've been
dating Brian for the last two
years. When I met him he
was attending college, but is
now in service with six
months more to serve. am
very fond of him and feel
that if continue seeing him I
shall become more involved, and
may eventually be hurt. He has
often said he likes me, but is at
present in no position to become
serious. He doesn't add anything
encouraging about the future. On
two or three occasions we've
broken up for couple of months,
then calls, and we begin dating
again.
My family thinks I should con-
tinue seein" him until he is dis
charged from the Army and then
decide if there's any change in
his attitude. I feel I should settle
the matter now, and, if he has
no intention of making our re-
lationship a permanent one, stop
seeing him. r. R.
ANSWER: Take your family's
advice and wait the six months.
When the boy has finished his
military duty, he'll be in a much
better position to plan his future.
A young man. situated as Brian
is, must work out his future,
economic as well as emotional,
from the time he gets out of serv-
Ice. Having gone into the Army
directly from college, he has no
business experience, and probably
no idea where he'll be able tt get
a job. He may not let you know
that he's worried about this
angle, but believe me he is. He
prefers not to commit himself to
romantic entanglements until he
is established at work. If you
will show a little sympathy and
understanding for his problem, it
will help you considerably in
overcoming his reluctance to
make definite plans. At present,
you are thinking only of your
problem, not his!
The possibility Of being hurt is
one you must take a chance on.
In fact, even if Brian had made
promises, or exacted them from
you, there's no guarantee that he
couldn't change his mind. ANY
man worth having is worth wait
ing for and doing bit of worry
ing over: seldom does the dream
boat of love sail along without
making ripple or two.

Question: noted some time
ago in your column you said
heat would be Increased II regu-
lar oil paint were used instead
Of gold. aluminium or other
metallic paints. My radiators
have bronze paint and they are
still In excellent condition. ]
would like to know II ] can
paint over them and still get the
increased heat radiation? Also.
would it be possible to use .
paint sprayer for this job? Hand
painting between all those Sec
lions would take 50 long.
Answer-Yes, you can put oil
paint on the radiators without
first removing the metallic paint.
The job could be done with Q
paint sprayer. but ] still recon-
mend your doing the job by
hand. You would have to make
so many preparations to mask
wallpaper, floor, woodwork, ETC.,
around the radiator that by the
time you got ready to spray you
would have spent q great deal
Of time.
Cracks Between Floorb0ards.
Question: We have recently
moved into q new home where
all Of the floors are Of hardwood,
While cleaning them I noticed
cracks are beginning to appear
between the boards. ] never use
water for cleaning but only q
damp cloth. What can we do to
stop the further development Of
cracks and what is the cause Of
it?
Answer: frequently lumber Ii
exposed to considerable moisture
and after 1t is put In place. the
heat in the building evaporates
the moisture. causing the wooc
| to shrink. There is nothing yol
can do to stop further shrinkage

1t is possible. however. that by
now most Of the moisture has
been driven Of and shringake
has ceased. In the late spring
and summer the wood may abb.
sorb some moisture from the
humid atmosphere and swell to
some extent, closing the spaces
between the boards.
Rough Plaster Walls.
Question: Is there anything we
can put on plaster walls that
have q rough finish In order to
make them smooth. prior to
painting?
Answer: IF the walls were
fairly rough. remove most Of the
roughness by rubbing with a
coarse sandpaper wrapped
around q block of wood. After

ter inch of the surface should

you wish to keep the full thick
