BY HERMAN BAUM

MY home Is q real antique.
All the woodwork was originally
stained q dark color, perhaps ma
hogany. and 1t is now an ugly
chocolate brown. I am told that
II I paint over this. the stain
viii show through the paint un-
less take it all OF down to bare
wood which would be q tremen-
dous job. Is there an easier
method?" w. 8. w. writes.
Answer-There is no reason
why you should continue to toll
crate these dingy doorways. A
few week ends devoted to the
project will make a wonderful
transformation in your home.
The first step in the project is
to sandpaper the surface Of the
woodwork. II you use No. ! or
10 waterproof garnet paper and
water, the work goes faster and
the end result Is better.
This operation is intended to
remove the years accumulation
Of dirt and grease and to rough
en- the surface so that the new
paint can get a firm bond. You
may have to resort to using steel
wool on some surfaces that can
not be easily handled with
Sandpaper.
Actually, the amount of sand
ing required is small. considering
the area to be covered so don't
make q project Of this part so
that you quit in DISGUST before
you are well begun. Now wipe
on all dust and complete the
preparation Of the surface by
filing cracks and nail holes with
putty.
There is a possibility that the
old stain may bleed through a
light paint. # you have q gam
bling instinct, you can apply an
enamel undercoater to o small
area and allow 1t to dry for a
couple Of days. II no discolora-
ton occurs. you are probably
safe to proceed in this manner.
Undercoaters are manufactured
only in white. It is necessary to
tint them TO match the color of
the enamel that you will use. II
you do see q discoloration, plan
to use q stain sealer because
bleeding would continue through
. dozen coats Of paint.
Some people use aluminium
paint for sealing stains and get
good results. Other painters
frown on the idea and use q

This quiz will tell you. And you'll learn
four magic words that every married
person, stubborn or not, should know
WHO is the stubborn one in your family?
If you're like most couples, each has accused the
other of monumental mushness at some time
another. WE'LL here's your chance to settle the issue.
Appearing on this page is test for stubbornness
- take it and see who has been right all along.
It's paror game, but there is a serious SIDE too.
Stubbornness, you see, is an explosive domestic
issue which creeps into every marital quarrel Psy
biologists and marriage counselors point out that
the trait is a major personality problem which not
only can take the fun out of marriage but deal
it a fatal blow
DR.. Anna K. Daniels, New York gynecologist
and marriage counselor asserts II have found that
stubborn behavior causes more marital disunty
than any other single factor.
1T is prime cause of husband wife quarres and,
when you trace it right down to the bottom, a
factor that may lead to divorce.
Are men, in general, more stubborn than women.
is the opposite true? We tried to find out and
stepped promptly into hornets nest.

(Which sex is the more stubborn" Here is how
they voted:
Men more Stubborn. Observation-Disclosures
Women more stubborn ...................4
Some Of the experts were professionally polite
with one another but others frankly bristled. For
example:
DR.. Ashley Montagu. the noted anthropologst
who Cut men to the quick in his recent book, The
Natural Superiority Of Women" rubbed salt into
the wound I've been around some fifty years. he
told us, land everything I've observed convinces
me the male is much less secure, more stubborn
To this, Dr. Harold Kenneth Fink, New York
pSychotherapst who contends the sexes are equally
stubborn, replied Il admire DR.. Montagu, but isn't
he being obstinate about his point of view? Isn't
it true that women who try to compete with men in
mans world just insecure and therefore just
as subborn?'
William Karp, psychologist who heads a large
consultation service guiding professional people,
reported that many men in topfight jobs stubborny
adhere TO decision in the face of evidence that they
goofed. They pass the buck. slip, dodge and turn
handsprings to avoid admitting mistake he says
They feel they will lose face if they do"
Other authorities, however, felt women are assert
ing themselves good deal nowadays, at least much
as men. Said DR.. Elsa - Continued on page II
