Fall Roof Inspection Is Advisable

Examining a roof is one of the
most important annual ,inspec-
tions of a house to make sure it
is in shape for another winter
and stormy weather. ~. :.
Such inspections are best
made in. the fall. Working on
the exterior of a house is more
difficult in cold weather and re-
suits might be less satisfactory.
A home inspection should be
made even if nothing apparently
is wrong. This will insure de-
lection of structural defects,
enabling repairs to be made be-
fore an emergency arises.
Don't Patch Old Roofs.
If a relatively new roof has
been damaged in a specific spot
by a falling tree branch, for
example, or by lightning-re-
pair my be comparatively simple
and feasible. But if a roof is old
and weather-beaten, one slight
leak can be taken as a sign that
the entire roof is about to fall.
The National Bureau of Stand
ards says: Leaks that are
caused by normal weathering of
the ro0fino material are in O diff
ferent category from those in
new roofs. A single apparent
leak in a badly weathered roof
is probable evidence of other
similar leaks that have not been
noticed, and is usually the fore
runner of other larger leaks that
will appear.
Under normal conditions a
roof does not wear out one unit

laid along the butt edges of
each course of old shingles to
create more of a fiat surface.
Then the new roofing is laid
over the old.
In most cases, it is not only
unnecessary, but extravagant to
remove the old shingles. 1t is
costly in labor and deprives you
of the added insulating value
and structural strength of the
old roof.

Even with the Indo-C China
war raging over its rice fields
and the Wet Mini Communists
trying to take over their valiant
little country, the Embassy of
Wet Nam here is taking time to
open its doors to the visitors
of the Goodwill Embassy Tour

from 2 until 6 o'clock.
The Ambassador and Mime.
Tran Van Kha want not only
to help this worthwhile Wash
ington agency for rehabilitating
the handicapped. but also they
are desirous of acquainting
Americans with the culture and
life of their country as we'll.
This land was under Chinese
domination until 939 AID.
Rebellions dotted these centuries
of Chinese control, and their
leaders became folk heroes sur
rounded by popular legends. A
national holiday is dedicated to
two women. the Trung sisters,
who in 40 AID. raised an army
and drove the alien rulers out
of the country, much as Joan
of Arc was to do centuries later
in France.
When the Chinese returned
two years later to find the volun-
teer troops dispersed. the two
sisters committed suicide rather
than see their country once
more under foreign domination.
Tour visitors on Saturday will
see hanging in a prominent spot
in the Embassy drawing room
a handsome picture of the Trung
sisters driving out the enemy.
The handicraft production of
Wet Nam belongs in the artistic
field and best reveals the m
genious and sensitive spirit of
it's people. The Ambassador
