BY The Assoeiossd Press

Bill Now Before Congress.
The administration recon-
mendations for a uniform law
for the States, he said, are con-
tanned in a bill now before Con-
gress which seeks to codify and
improve existing Federal laws on

Many States had such uniform
laws during World War II, the
President said, but these have
lapsed or been changed.

December Food Costs
 Continue Down, Says Economist Johnson

Family food budgets in Alaska now cost from to per cent less than they did 6 months ago accord ing to Hugh A. Johnson, Expert ment Station economist: and there is no indication of sudden rise ahead.
 Meats, eggs, apples, canned juic- es. coffee, fats and oils led the general decline which was noted in September when the last quar- terly survey was made. Of the 30 food items included in the survey, only lemons and cocoa were con- sistently higher than in Septem- Der, Johnson saiC. Fresh and ev- aporated milk, bread and banana prices generally were unchanged. Most other foods fluctuated above and below September prices with general downward trend.
 Sitka was the only one of the six cities now included in the re- porting service to show a slight rise of OF per cent over Septem- Der Is price levels for the 30 gro cery items. According to Johnson, the nature of the items causing this rise at Sitka seems to indicate that the recent shipping situation may have been involved as a cause.
 Greatest net change from Sep tember 15 levels was a 70 per cent decline at Fairbanks. It's food price level was highest of all cities surveyed and it's downward ad- justment to date has been the great est. Food prices in Fairba Il k S have dropped S.2 per cent from the high of last June. They were 5.1 per cent below December 15, 1853 and 40 per cent below the base period of January 15, 1852.
 Prices in Palmer dropped 50 per cent from the June high. Food now costs 6.1 per cent less than it did during the January 1852 base period. Palmer prices most of the time are slightly higher than Anchorage and tend to f1uc- tuate more widely.
 Anchorage food prices in Decem- Der dropped 5.5 per cent from Sep tember and 70 per cent below the June high They now stand at 92.4 per cent of January 1852 levels for a decrease of 7.6 per cent.
 Juneau food price levels are slightly lower than those of the Interior cities. Their downward adjustment has been less drastic However. even in Juheau, food prices now are 42 per cent below September 1854. 5.3 per cent below the June high and 1.3 per cent below the January 1852 base per iod.
 Ketchikan. Alaska's furthe S south city, experienced a decline of 2.S per cent from September food price levels. This was AZ per cent below the June high. Ket- chikan prices still are .2.S per cent above levels of December 1853.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Old Windows Make
Good Cold Frames

lplaster is not considered an ideal
wall material below grade, be-
cause moisture from the ground
may eventually cause it to dis
lntegrate. If, however, the
lplaster is of a Portland cement
composition, you can coat the
walls with a water mixed
cement-base paint.

of the finish has been removed
and the wood bleached. Every
one has different ideas on what
to do about a protective coating
Can you tell us what finish tc
use on oak? I want to keep the
wood as light as possible.
Answer-Oak, being an open.
grained wood, should have q
paste wood filler applied. If 9
natural finish is desired, USE
what is known as a natural
colored filler. For a lighter ef-

could be used.

Question: What can I do with
some old windows? We had four
double-hung windows replaced
with easement windows.
Answer: While I am no expert
on gardening. ! have seen many
Instances where discarded win
dows make excellent covers for
cold frames.
Curled Asphalt Shingles
Question: used a heavy grade
of roofing paper prior to the
application of asphalt shingles
on the roof. now find there is
evidently some distortion of the
roofing paper, causing the singles
to curl. What would be the best
way to get these shingles to say
fiat?
Answer: The distortion and
curling or buckling of asphalt
shingles is frequently brought
about by warpage or swelling OF
the sheathing boards under the
singles. The condition is gen.
orally caused by the presence OF
moisture in the attic area. Pro-
vide plenty of ventilation by in
stalling ventilating louvres as
high up in the gable ends as pos
sible and install vents at the
caves of the roof. The ventilating
louvres should have at least one
square foot for each 300 square
feet of attic floor space.
Basement Walls
Question: Would appreciate in
formation on what to use to
paint the basement walls. We
have plastered walls which are
quite dry with the exception of
days in summer when the
weather is damp. What kind OF
paint would you recommend?
Answer: If the walls are COW
cred with lime or gypsum plaster
I suggest coating them with a
good grade of semigloss enamel
or a rubber-base wall paint. I
might add that lime or gypsum

When the gloss disappears, rub
of most of the filler, across the
grain, with a coarse fabric or

the surface sould be allowed to

made smooth by rubbing with
1000" sandpaper. Wipe of the
