Merger Proposed
For Two Transient
Homes in District

Plans to merge the Temporary
Home for Soldiers and Sailors.
921 Pennsylvania avenue Sc.
and the Municipal Lodging
House, now located at 458 c street
NV. will get under way in about
a week. according to Gerard NJ.
Shea, director of the Department
of Public Welfare.
Both institutions are grouped
in the Welfare Department. al
though the department has little
supervision over the Soldiers and
Sailors Home.
The Soldiers and Sailors Home
gets its funds through the We'll
fare Department. but is operated
under a board of management
composed of prominent members
of veterans organizations. It's
appropriation for this fiscal year
is $39,610.
Predicts Protests by Vets.
Paul McGahan. prominent in
veterans organizations. and for
mer District commander of the
American Legion, who is a men,
Der of the board of management,
said the veterans organizations
would protest any merger with
the Municipal Lodging House.
Mr.. McGahan said the Welfare
Department has for many years
protested having to pay the eX-
penses of the home because only
out-of-toWn veterans here on
business with the Veterans Ad-
ministration or seeking treat
ment in the various military
hospitals are eligible to stay
there.
The new reorganization man
agement of the District has rec
commended that the home be
taken over by the Veterans Adj
ministration. A few years ago,
the Welfare Department left out
of its budget funds to operate
the home. Congress, however,
at the insiStance of veterans
organizations, appropria t e d
money to run it. Since then
an item for the upkeep of the
home has been in the welfare
budget.
Mr.. Shea said that the top
floor of the building, which was
once the Naval Hospital here,
and later a marine hospital, is
seldom occupied and that about
40 men from the municipal Lodg-
ing House could be taken care
of there. It would save the Dis
trict about $4,000 year, he
said.
Will Prepare Legislation.
In order to effect the merger
Mr.. Shea said congressional ac-
ton Is needed. He said he plans
to confer with the Corporation

Two-toning q wall may be
made simple with masking tape.
II you use the tape properly you
will have no overlapping of color.
First Of all you must learn how
to apply. paint over and remove
the masking tape. The work
surface must be thoroughly clean
and all wax. polish. grease. dirt
and soap film removed.
The tape must be applied to
areas which will not be painted,
newspapers may be taped to very
large areas. Press the tape
firmly SO that paint will not
creep under it. Before painting
be sure to wipe the area to be
painted with a varnish- treated
cheesecloth to remove dust and
lint.
Now you are ready to paint.
You can get q straight line If
you apply the paint so that 1t
partially covers the tape. Don't
wait for the paint to dry thor
oughly-it is better to remove
the tape as soon as the paint is
tacky or set.
| Color Separation.
To use masking tape for color
separation, you simply double
the process. If you're painting

upper portion of 1t and the paint
has set. you may remove the

tape. Then wait until the upper
part is thoroughly dry.
When 1t is. apply another
strip of masking tape over the
freshly dried paint edge. and
paint the lower section Of the
wall with the second color-cov-
ering the bottom edge Of the
tape. When the second color
paint has set, remove the mask
ing tape and you should have q
clean, neat separation.
Stripping Is Easy.
Color separation in the form
of stripping Is easy. An odd piece
of furniture or a play floor in
the basement is often improved
by striped effects.
Before you do your stripping
you'll need to clean the surface
to be painted. Then apply the
base color Of the paint. When
dry, strip the tape on 1t to form
each outside edge Of stripe
Press the tape firmly in place
to prevent seepage. and paint
your stripe, covering the inside
edge of both lengths of tape
When the inner paint has set
remove both tape strips and you
should have a good straight
stripe.
Masking tape should not be
applied to wallpaper or SOFT
textured wallboard. And II it Ii
used where it is exposed to sun
light, remove it within two o.
three hours,
