ZINC PAINT HELD BEST
FOR GALVANIZED SHEETS

Rust-speckled roofing and sid
ing of galvanized sheets is a
warning that the time has come
for a paint protection job, points
out Edward Schabinger, county
extension agent.
Just as zinc in the form of gal
vanizing is by far the best pro-
tective metallic coating for the
rust-proofing of iron and steel,
so is zinc dust paint the best
material for re-surfacing a gal
vanized sheet, says the county
agent.
Such paint is manufactured by
many paint makers. 1t is often
packaged in a accompaniment
container for on-the-job mixing.
The unused portions of the zinc
dust and the binder will stay IN
good condition in storage, indefin-
itely.
Rust-speckled surfaces to be
painted should be thoroughly
cleaned of all rust scale with a
stiff wire brush, so that the paint
can get firm grip on the base
metal.
To be sure that the metallic
zinc particles and the binder stay
thoroughly mixed, experienced
painter apply the paint from a
small can only one-fourth filled
BY dipping the brush to the bot
tom of the can, they keep the
paint well-stirred, and the result
is uniform, easily-applied mix,
ture of the same consistency
throughout the job, Mr.. Schabin
ger adds.

SIGNS OF LIFE
SAFETY SLOGAN
Program Important in Saw
ing Lives on Streets
and Highways
DEATH TOLL $4,000

There's talk this month about
a Signs of Life traffic safety pro-
gram, j. James Ashton, Manager
of the Delaware Safety Council
said today. The title is catchy
one, but more than that, the pro-
gram is important to the bust
ness of saving lives on our streets
and highways. With last years
traffic death toll at $4,000 there
is certain need for improvement
on the part of every individual
driver and pedestrian. The Signs
of Life program focuses attention
on the Importance of knowing
and obeying traffic signs and
signals, Mr.. Ashton said. The
main point of emphasis is placed
ON the five basic traffic sign
shapes and their individual mean
ings. The Signs of Life program
points up the need for universal
sense of individual responsibility
in the flight for life on our high
ways.
Driver Knows Word
A knowledge of traffic signs.
signals and pavement markings
will help save lives, he said. The
fact that the eight-sided traffic
sign always says stop" and
nothing else is of more than aca-
demic interest. Any driver ap-
preaching such a sign can know
immediately what its message
will be long before he can see the
wording. The other basic traffic
sign shapes include the oblong
signs that state traffic laws and
regulations; dia m n DIS h a p e d
warning signs that tell of dam
gerous or unusual conditions
ahead; round signs that lndlcate
the approach to a highway-rail
intersection; and the crossbuck at
the highway-rail crossing. Mr..
Ashton said, If motorists-and
pedestrians-will take to heart
this months Signs of Life mes
sage being sponsored in Delaware
by the Delaware Safety Council
and the National Safety Council
we can reduce traffic accidents
Know your signs of life" is good
advice for everyone-the only
thing that's asked is that we put
that advice to work for us per
sonally every time we use oul
streets and highways.

TREE SITTER is ANSWER
TO DROUGHT TIME

Before you run off to the sea-
shore or to that mountain resort,
remember the pets you are leav-
ing home-your trees.
They can use attention while
you are gone, advises p. C..
Heintzman of the Davey Tree Ex-
pert Co. Since you can't take 'em
with you, vacation time sugges-
ton is "tree-sitter" someone to
water your trees while you're
away.
During the dog days" a tree
needs human help most. Actually
in this hot, often dry season, its
owner is likely frolicking on an
extended vacation.
Shaking trees thirst is a
special job. Soak the entire root
area of each tree two to three
hours each week during the real
hot spells. Watering should take
in the same area of ground COW
cred by the branch spread. Trees
transplanted this past Spring will
need particular attention. Their
root systems probably have not
yet developed to a point where
they can find enough moisture to
support the foliage.
For best results, and TO avoid
surface run off, use a "soil soak
err, canvas hose from which
water seeps slowly into the soil.
Or put sprinkler under the
tree.
Too many home owners water
their trees only as an after
thought to a thorough lawn
sprinkling Oddly enough, meeting
the water requirements of your
trees helps supply your lawns
water demands.
Duck that drab drought look.
1t will pay off with healthier
trees and prettier landscaping.
