Cedar Shingles
Question We have striated
cedar shingles on the walls OF
our house and wish to stain
them, because they seem to be
drying out. When the house was
new Give years ago), the color
was a weathered gray and this
has now faded. We would like
to keep the shingles about the
same color. Would plain linseed
oil be all right? Or, would creo-
sote stain be better?

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Home Owner Problems
Bring Experts S Advice

Question: have q frame
house that has no basement, but
there is a crawl space. I have
| just finished insulating the at
tic with a blanket-type insula-
tion and now want to insulate
the floor joists in the crawl
space. VIII you please tell me
which way the vapor barrier
should be placed-up or down?
Everyone I ask tells me some
thing different.
Answer-Since the vapor dur
ling the winter season origi-
mates inside the house. the vapor
barrier must face the interior
of the house. In other words, in
your case it should be facing
the flooring.
Spot in q Floor
Question-What can be done
to tighten the spot on a var
nished floor caused by a wet
cloth?
Answer-You will have to
remove the finish from the
darkened area and then bleach
out the discoloration by apply
ing a liberal amount of a hot
saturated solution Of oxalic
acid. Allow this to remain over
night, then rinse well with clear
water. When the wood is dry,
smooth with 1000" sandpaper
and wipe off the dust. Touch up
the area with the same type
lof material used originally in
the floor finish.
Plans for Heating
Question: have purchased a
lsplit-leyel home which is now
under construction and am con-
lcerned about heating. I have
found In the past that consider
able saving in fuel costs could
be had by shutting off heat to
seldom used rooms, and to all
rooms but bedrooms at night.
My builder insists that such
procedures are not economical

land that he win not install
Idampers In the hot-air ducts. Do
you feel that I can save fuel by
having such provision made In
the heating system?
Answer-Dampers are helpful
in controlling the amount OF
heat flowing into various rooms,
particularly when the weather is
only mildly cold. ] do not advise
shutting OF the heat in all OF
the rooms of the house at night
because 1t takes much more fuel
to bring up the temperature In
the morning. Rooms that are not
used and have the heat shut OF
are apt to develop condensation
on the cold walls and floors. This
may result in mildew. It Is really
advisable to have some heat in
Iall rooms.

If the United States was getting the
worst Of it. in an atomic war, the Russians
would certainly have difficult job Of
transporting an army TO this country, and
in landing that army if it could be brought
here. The United States would have a less
difficult time in invading Russia since it
could probably use European bases, all
though it would certainly be no easy task
for the United States TO occupy Russia.
A long war is, therefore, more likely
than a short one, we believe If that war
did develop, it would be necessary for this
country to maintain control Of the seas and
air, over as much Of the world as possible
That ID where the chain of air bases the Air
Force has built all over the world and the
L. s. Navy would come in In short, the
war would probably require the services of
large Army, Navy and an even larger
Air Force. But all three would be needed,
and the next war which can be avoided,
