Roller and Extension
Makes Painting Jobs
Easier and Faster

AT this stage Of the season the
vast majority Of those planned
garden projects are either COM
pleted or 50 nearly completed
that you are Considering getting
up the strength and courage to
tackle your interior redecorat-
ing and repainting program.
Two products on the market
very definitely make painting
easier on you as well as make.
the job itself go faster.
One Is q paint roller, and in
my book there is nothing quite
as good, as efficient or as easy
as a fill-type paint roller. I'm
fortunately. many people do not
realize that there is more than
one type Of paint roller, and an
unsatisfactory experience with
one should not condemn all
types.
Won't Drip Paint.
The till-type which person.
ally swear by is q precision-buil
paint tool which the manufac-
turer guarantees win not drip.
It ILLS from one end and holds
approximately one pint OF paint.
The roller itself is about six
inches wide and employs the
use OF three sleeves, two cotton
and one double wool sleeve.
One Of the cotton sleeves is
placed next to the metal cylinder
sieve and the other Is placed
over the double wool sleeve,
which is between the two cot
ton sleeves. The inside cotton
sleeve acts as a retarder on the
paint flow. The outside sleeve
is a finisher sleeve. leaving q
smooth, uniform, flawless finish.
The speed with which a room
can be painted is amazing land
without a single drop Of paint
out Of place. The roller gets
within one half inch Of the edge
Of q wall or ceiling and that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-07-24

small area can be touched up
while the paint is still wet. using
q small brush so that no lap
or brush marks show.
For best results, painting is
done across the width Of q room
or wall. and very little pressure
is required to roll on paint with
this fill-type paint roller. This
unit is built for use with oil
paints and enamels.

Traffic Safety
COHferRcee For Youth
On November 9th
(contlnued ION a. -


The young people actively par
ticipated in the discussion, giving
their ideas on what students would
like to talk about in such a confer
ence and how the results of the
conference could be spread through
the high schOOls-in the interest of
better driving and highway safety.
1t is likely there will be at least
six main issue at the Youth Con-
ference:
% Role of youth in traffic safe
ty.
(2) Driving Attitude.
CD Traffic legislation.
(4) HOt-rOds and traffic safety.
90 Driver Education.
(6) Student organization of safe
driving groups.
1t is planned to enlist the interest
Of PTA's to send representatives
and sponsors to the conference.
Governor J. Caleb BOggs will also
attend and greet the students.
The Delaware Safety Council
will furnish literature, exhibits and
films on safety topics to be shown
at the conference.
But it will be the group meetings
that will be the most interesting
because with youth participating in
the discussions land adults Just
sitting on the sidelines) the public
will be able to get a pretty good
idea what's milling around in the
minds of youngsters who are Just
beginning to drive or who want to
drive.
A digest of some Of the thoughts
expressed by the teen-agers at
Thursdays meeting follows:
I'VE think most of the accidents
on the highways, involving young
drivers, are caused because of the
Ignorance of the traffic laws.
Young people should be IMPRESS
ed with the responsibilities they
have in driving a car They should
realize that when they go out in a
car, behind the wheel. they have
the power of death in their hands.
I'VE believe that aspects of driv-
er education should be incorporated
in the studies of youngsters before
they are 16 and before they can
begin to form bad driving habits
and bad attitudes"
