QUESTION: What is meant by
"Yahrzeit"?
ANSWER: "Yahrzeit" is the
name given to the anniversary of
the date of the death of person.
The anniversary is observed &C.
cording to the date in the Hebrew
calendar on which death occurred.
It is especially significant to the
children of the deceased, since
they light a candle in memory of
the departed and recite special
prayers. It was once the custom
for the children of the deceased
to fast upon the anniversary date
Of the death of a parent.
QUESTION: Why is this date so
significant?
ANSWER: A number of reasons
are advanced for observing this
date. Some claim that this day
upon which. the luck of the chill
dren is poor and so they spend
the dav in PRAYER asking for bet
ter fortune. Others claim that a
parent and a child are as one unit
and that hence the soul of the de-
ceased is tied up with the soul Of
the living. Observing the date re-
unites the two. souls. It is also
claimed that this day is a day of
judgment for the departed soul
and that the prayers and concern
of the living help the soul to over
come the, ordeal of judgment.
It is also stated that this OBJ
servance is part of the honor
child is additionally obligated to
show its father and mother. In
Jewish tradition the responsibility
for honoring ones father and
mother does not cease with the
demise Of the parent. One is obli-
gated to revere his parents after
death just as during their lifetime:

QUESTION: why is it custom:
ary TO indulge in the study of
Mishnayoth ON the day of "Yahr-
zeif" @.'''.' - Ct
ANSWER: The study of the
Torah by the heirs of the deceased
is considered beneficial to the
soul of the departed. The Mish-
naic Code is especially preferred
for number of reasons. General
ly,. the study of Torah shows that
the deceased parents implanted
some love for Torah in their chill
dren and thus may receive favor
able judgment in heaven. Those
who cannot study Torah at least
recite the Kaddish, which is ira
ditionally recited after such study,
and give charity to some Torah
institution.

Ceiling Comes First.
The ceiling comes first in re-
decorating room. If you start
with the ceiling and work down.
you'll avoid spelling the work
you already have finished.
Mr.. Carlton says one thing he
learned about ceilings was that
once he started to paint, he
always had to finish the whole
ceiling.
IF you go back to try to touch
up a spot" he says. that spot
will just keep getting bigger un-
til you have to do the whole
ceiling over again to get it even"
After the ceiling is finished,
you can tackle the woodwork.
Old paint should be sanded down
for two reasons. to remove the
excess paint and to smooth the
surface. and 2. to provide a good
bond for your new paint.
Full Dimensions.
THE easiest way to paper your
walls" Mr.. Carlton says. "is to
take full dimensions, with dimen-
sions for windows and doors. to
your wallpaper dealer. He will
sell you the right amount of
paper and trim it for you II you
ask him to. Then cut one strip

at a time. This will save you a
lot of waste in matching the
pattern"
Mr.. Carlton used 6-inch
planks placed side by side across
a couple of old tables for his
wallpaper working surface. He
covered the planks with old
newspapers. After he brushed
the wallpaper paste on one
strip, he could throw away the
old newspapers on which the
paste has overlapped and start
with fresh newspapers.
AS each strip was hung on the
wall, he brushed it fiat with a
soft brush and rolled the edges
down tight with the wallpaper
roller he got from his wallpaper
store.
Don't try to butt the edges
of a strip of wallpaper exactly to
the adjoining strip" Mr.. Carl
ton advises. 1T is better to
overlap the edges by about
1/16th of an inch. In this way
the paper will turn out to be
butted neatly when 1t is dry.
because wallpaper always shrinks
that much in drying. II you butt
the edges while the paper is wet.
you'll notice cracks between the
strips after the paper dries and
shrinks."

Here's What 1t Will Cost You to Decorate Room

If you want to rnodernize your
home, figure on preparation for
the job taking up most Of the
time you spend on 1t.
This is q tip from John A.
(Jack) Carlton who. after reno
waiting an 8-room house, has
plenty of practical tips to pass
on to all Of US.
Figure on about two weeks Of
your spare time for every aver
age ROOM" Mr.. Carlton says.
"That Is what 1t takes when
you include scraping and finish
ing floors, patching and smooth
ing plaster. finishing the CELL
ing and papering or painting
the walls.
when it comes to a kitchen or
bathroom renovation, more
time is required, depending on
how much Of a project you plan. !"
For the modernization Of one
room-say a typical bedroom
Mr.. Carlton found that 10 to IL
hours should be allowed for the
sanding and finishing Of the
floor alone.
''It is very much worth while
to rent sanding machine. This
will do the complete floor except
for the corners, which you can
finish by hand. You can figure
on needing the machine for one
day for each room. The rental
Of the machine may run about
$40 per room. But you will find
If you get estimates, that the
scraping price runs about $50
to $35 per room per man."
\ Il \
Floor Is Last.
However, the floor Is the last
thing you tackle in redoing a
room. Mr.. Cartons first job
was to patch and repair plaster
cracks.
"A beer-can opener comes in
handy for fixing plaster cracks, "
he says. 1T cuts right into them
and opens them up to hold your
patching plaster. But don't be
satisfied with q v cut. Try to
make the cut wider inside than
1t is on the surface.
This will lock the plaster into
the crack and is important be-
cause patching plaster always
shrinks a little. Also work fast
with patching plaster. Don't
moisten any more than you can
use Immediately. It hardens fast
| and once hard 1t cannot be
softened again.
After all plaster has been
repaired. sand it carefully to gel
it absolutely smooth. Any bulges
will be magnifled after you paint
over them.
For an undercoat, I prefer a
primer of the same paint plan
to use for the finish coat, rather
than shellac or varnish. II you
merely prime the places you have
fixed with spackle. those place,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-03-06

Instead Of papering, 1t is wise to
plan always on using two coats
Of paint for best results.
1.-THE better preparation you
make for a paint job" says Mr..
Carlton. "the better the job will
turn out"
Breakdown Of Cost.
For complete redecoration of
a bedroom. materials cost about
$50. 1t broke down as follows:
Sanding floors-rental of ma
chine and cost of sandpaper
$1,000
Fabulous floor finish, 2 gallons
$3.50
Ceiling paint -------- 500
Woodwork semi-gloss - 500

plains, some of which you'll use
in other rooms. such as paint
brushes. paint roller and roller

ter, and so on"

Neither MendeS-France nor

posed to a German army and

for the survival of the NATO,
that Germany start its rearm-

Because the U. S. S. r. re-

The Western Pacific offers
q different picture where the
area Of agreement between
the United States and Great
Britain is extremely uncertain.
The major lack of under
standing is around China. The
British recognized the Peiping
regime in January 1850. This
recognition was then less pop
ular in the United Kingdom
and in the British Common
wealth than it is now. The
present point of view of the
British political. industrial
and buineSS circles as well as
that of the man in the street
is that China is not a Soviet
satellite and that Moscow and
Peiping soon will be at drawn
daggerS. Communist China,
say the British, is increasingly
nationaliStic and eventually
will demand full and unlimited
control not only over Man
churia but also over Inner and
Outer Mongolia, which were
filched by the Russians from
China.
The British have told us
during the interminable argu-
ments over the Chinese prob
lem that they are confident
that if we play our cards as
carefully as they play theirs,
the United States and Britain
could replace the U. S. S. r. in

There are hopes and fears
over the meeting this week end
in Washington between the two
leaders of the English-speak-
ing world, President Eisen-
hover and Prime Minister
Churchill.
There is hope, based on
solid ground, that as a result
of this parley Germany will
be given the green light at
last to rearm at least SOC, 900
men for a national army to
bolster Western defenses.
The exchanges which have
taken place between Wash
ington and London indicate
that the British see eye to

tween Britain and the

The Geneva conference has

come to the conclusion that
the MuScovites hold an olive

lar behavior of DR.. ]. Robert

clared a security risk" by a
special board appointed by the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Publication of the official
transcript of the hearings of
this board reveals some very
interesting comments. on the
subject of scientists where
loyalty or security matters are
involved. Thus John LanSdale,
jr., now a member of a Cleve-

Creeping sabotage of public
power programs continues
throughout the country under
the encouragement OF the Eli
Senhower administration, but
1t continues also to meet with
determined resistance. Already
a political issue, thanks to the
devious maneuvering of In
terror Secretary Mckay in the
matter of certain big Western
projects, it has exploded into
a major battle, thanks to ex-
traordinary steps taken by the
President himself in the mat
ter of IVA. First there was his
refusal to reappoint Gordon
Clapp as head of IVA, despite
his illustrious record, the al
most unanimous demand Of
the Tennessee region and the
lack of any competent success
sor. The President offered the
excuse that he wants some one
more in line with his own
philoSophic approach, what
ever that may be. Second,
there is his effort to eliminate
IVA as a supplier Of addi-
tional power to the Atomic
Energy mission. This
seems certain to bring the
whole public power issue to a
head, as revealed by the rising
storm in Congress.
The President quite prob
ably believes he is striking a
blow for the American way of
life in undertaking to curb the
natural development of the
Tennessee Valley Authority.
But there is nothing wrong
with the American way of life
in the Tennessee Valley. Life
has been getting better and
better year by year in that
region, better for the citizens
and for business. There has
been no encroachment on bust

ity business, since the Gov
