the design roller in the process of
application.
Anyone Can Do II
"This modern method of applica-
ton results in blending of color
and design, even in inexperienced
hands," said Ray H. Hookway,
head of the Sherwin Williams
Decorative Studios. "In each of us
there is bit of the creative art
list, a desire for decorative color
and interesting design. This new
method fulfills the desire for new
decorative effects which Mr.. and
Mrs. America are constantly seek
ing"
The Applikay colors may be ap-
piled in any of five designs. These
are called: Jackstraw, Falling Fea-
Their, Birchbark, Homespun and
Silken Fleece. Each design is en-
boSsed on its own plastic roller so
that it repeats itself with every roll
over the wall surface.
These designs are non-direction-
al, capturing the texture theme so
popular with homemakers. Since
the designs are not geometric, it
is not necessary to match their
lines while applying Applikay.
Taking into account the hundreds
of shades in which Super KEN
Tone is available as the wall back
ground color, it is possible to
create almost countless effects
with Applikay's designs and col
OrS.
Combination Of Designs
Combinations of the designs may
be used to achieve individualized
effects. Some designs and combina-
tions. lend themselves to interest
ing decor by cross-rolling the wall
surface, vertically and horizontal
ly. Combining Applikay colors, one
upon the other, also is strikingly
effective. Rollers with different
designs are readily interchange
able on the Applikay roller frame.
Applikay can be applied over
Super Kem-Tone after this latex
paint has dried as briefly as one
hour. This assures a perfect weld
ing of the two types of materials
and there by provides unlimited
instability.

New Interior Wall Decorating
Method Combines Color, Design

A fascinating new departure in
the world of home decoration has
been revealed by The Sherwin.
Williams Co. of Cleveland and its
allied companies Acme Qaulity
Paints, Inc, The Lowe Brothers
Co., John Lucas and Co., and The
Martin Senour Co.
It is a unique method to create
interesting designs on walls by
means of a twin roller. The meth
cd includes the use of a new pro-
duct, Super Kem-Tone Applikay,
which contains materials that were
laboratory curiosities a year or
two ago.
Applikay has an opalescent sheen
that gives a silk brocade effect
when viewed from various angles.
The material comes ready to-
use in eight translucent colors:
Sapphire Blue, Moonmist White,
Spun Gold, Silvery Gray, Crystal
Green, Frosty Lilac, Radiant Pink
and Medallion Yellow. Applikay in
all colors is completely washable
when dry.
New Frontier in Decor
"Applikay and the technique of
application represents a wholly
new frontier in attractive and Geo.
nomical decoration for the home,"
commented President Arthur w.
Steudel of Sherwin Williams.
Home decorating councillors who
were given preview Of Applikay
were unanimously enthusiastic. It
has been acclaimed similarly by
home builders and architects"
Designs are applied to surfaces
first coated with Super Kem-T Tone,
the washable latex base wall paint
brought out by Sherwin Williams
and allied companies in 1850. A
chemical affinity exists between
Applikay and Super Kem-Tone.
Their Foundations establish a
bond which results in both proper
adhesion and complete washable
ity.
A double roller is employed.
Joined on a single handle are a
fabric covered roller and nodded
plastic roller on which the design
is embossed. The fabric roller
picks up the Applikay from paint
tray and distributes it evenly over

quiring probably less than a quart
OF Applikay material can be coat
ed with Super Kem-Tone and Appli-
kay for approximately SIS, includ-
ing the cost of the application e.
quipment.
Applikay comes ready-to-use
except for stirring. No thinner is
required. The application technique
is simple. After coating the fabric
roller in the paint tray. place the
design roller against the wall.
Then simply draw the roller down
or across the wall. The Applikay
rollers are easily cleaned with soap
and water.

Gardner Webb
Clinic Doing
Splendid Work

BOILING SPRINGS. N. C. -
Gardner-Webb College seeks to be
both a center of learning and an
agent for community service.
AS an institution of higher edu-
cation, it is fully accredited for the
first two years of college work. 1t
is member of the Southern AS
sociation of Colleges and Secon-
Diary Schools. 1t is also a member
of the family of Baptist Colleges
of North Carolina.
As an agent to better serve
the community. Gardner Webb
operates threefOld program:
the clinic, guidance office, and
church community program.
The Gardner-W Webb Clinic OBJ
served its fifth birthday December
/. In that time it has grown from
a small building with one doctor
and one nurse to a modern, 18 bed
hospital with two physicians and
% other personnel.
Last year the clinic served L.
492 patients with a total of 5,53S
days hospital care. This amounts
to an average of 3 II days hos
pitalization per patient, which is
about half the nations average.
This brevity of patient stay is at
tributed to the fact that many of
those treated live near the clinic
and can be allowed to go home
earlier than if they lived some
distance aaWy.
DR.. w. Wya ! WaShburn and Dr.
Sam J. Crawley. Jr., college ply
Sicians treated 17,700 out-patients
last year in addition to the 1892
hospitalized. The clinic reported
227 births, and l52 surgical pro-
| decures.
Falitities with which the staff
works include blood bank. central
sterile supply. clinical laboratory,
electrocardiograph, medical Ii
brary, medical records. metabolism
apparatus. out-patient department,
physical therapy, premature nur-
Sery, and diagnostic X-ray.
Total assets of the clinic includ-
ing doctors equipment are valued
at 100000. The center operates
on a non-profit basis, charging
only $500 per day for hospital
care. The average for North Caro-
lima is $500 per day and the ma
tional average is much higher. APP
proximately $4,000 free service is
given annually.
The clinic was begun in 1949
with a gift of $4,000 from the late
DR.. S. S. Royster and his family of
Shelby. B. G. Beason of Boiling
Springs supervised construction
The original building cost around
| $35,OOO and a $4,000 addition was
completed in 1852.

has been staff director since the
clinic opened, and his associate
DR.. Sam j. Crawley, Jr., rent Of
! flee space in the clinic from the
college. Their professional fees are
kept separate from hospital care

The Rev. S. L. Lamm. clinic

clinic a definite asset and pow
erful means in it's effort to be of
service in meeting the needs of the

RALEIGH - The State Board
of Education today called on To-

Gov. Hodges, who presided at
The boards November meeting
while h. vas still lieutenant gov
ernor, dropped in as the board
opened its monthly meeting. He
said he came "partly out of nos
talgia" for his old job as board
chairman.
Since succeeding the late Gov.
William B. Umstead, Hodges said
i.e has realized more acutely that
he board has a real responsible
ity and real opportunity to
point tho way the state should

10 or Is yea1s."

preside in the absence of Vice
Chairman A. Mel. Graham OF
Clinton, assured Hodges the
board vii, miss his services.
lin the absence of Graham, the
board did not elect a chairman
10 preside at future meetings.
Normally, the states lieutenant
governor is ex officio chairman
of the education board.
The board adopted changes in
certification requirements for ele-
mentary teachers. The changes
were recommended as the result
of a study over the past two years
oy the State Advisory Council on
teacher education.
The changes reduce English re-
quiremsnts from II to 2 semester
hours and cut the requirement
for physical education from 10 to
) huorS.
DR.. Charles F. Carroll. state SUI
perintendent of public instruction,
said the net effect of the changes
would be to give colleges "a little
more !eeway' in setting curricu-
lum requirements.
He explained that in many
cases colleges already require
credits equal to those set up in
the certificahon requirements.

In the new amendments to the
Sovial Security Act. there is a
spencial provision fer those per-
sons who a"e unable to work for
long period of time because of
total disability. Mr.. Joseph P.
Walsh, District Manager of the
Gastonia Social Security Office.
said today that this provision,
known as a disability freeze" I"
does not involve the payment of
who is not yet 65. but is a means
benefits to the disabled worker
of protesting his old-age and
survivors insurance rights during
periods of prolonged serious dis
ability.
The disability freeze" offers
this advantage to members of
the labor force of the nation who,
after contributing actively in en-
i;loyment OF self Unemployment COW
cred BY social security. became
disabled seriously enough to keep
them from substantial, gainful
work. The disability must be me-
Ideally dete,ninable, and it must
have lasted at least six months
before a period of disability can
be established.
The ''sreeze" will act to exclude
the period O. disability from the
workers. social security record. In
his waq he will not lose his in
Npred status or have his average
monthly wage on which his future
benefits will be based reduced be-
! cause of his years If no earnings
due to disability. However, there
are no old-age or survivors in
surance payments to the disabled
worker CT lis family before the
disabled worker becomes 65 or
dies.
For those persons already re-
ceiving their retirement benefits
the disa bility "freeze" may be
helpful, too. If the retired per-
son is still disabled and can prove
that his disability has existed
rom a time prior to his retire
ment, he may have his bene-
lit amount refigured with the
period Of disability left out, and
~ this way receive higher bene-
fits. Tho period of disability
however. cannot begin after age
65. And if q disabled person dies
before filing for the establish
nient of period of disability, the
benefits payable to his survivors
must be figured without the
disability freeze
Mr.. Walsh pointed out that ar
application 1or a disability freeze
Tnder tle law, cannot be ifelt
before January l. 1855. In order
to be eligible for disability
freeze. q person must meet the
following requirements. He must

a half of the five years must
have ben during the three years
Immediately before his disability
pegan. When he has met these
requir ements and when his dis
ability has lasted for at least

to last indefinitely, a disabled

cord frozen. Anyone desiring ad-
