Formula for Whitewash
Dear Mr.. Baum:
Gould you please repeat the
formula for whitewash that I
saw in your column several years
ago." MRS. o. o. c., ST..
Answer-A good whitewash
can be made as follows: Dissolve
two pounds of table salt in a
10-quart bucket, three-quarters
filled with water. Stir into this
10 pounds of dehydrated lime,
making a smooth paste. Let the
mixture stand eight hours, STIR
ring occasionally. When ready
for use, thin this paste with
water and add one ounce of pow
dered alum to each gallon of
whitewash. A pint of molasSes
added to each gallon will make
the whitewash penetrate better
into wood or plaster surfaces.

By Hermon Baum

Dear Mr.. Baum:
"a guests carelessness burned
a deep hole in the top Of my
best mahogany table. Could you
please describe any method by
which I could repair this damage
or at least make it less notice
able. Mrs. A. L. A.
Answer - Perhaps you bring
this on yourself by acting like a
woman I know" who keep loads
of ashtrays around her living
room but all are those dainty
little imported bone china affairs.
If a guest flicks a bit of cigar
cite ash into one, she immedi-
ately dashes over, grabs the tray
and rushes into the kitchen to
wash it.
Enough of that can get on a
fellows nerves. Her husband
lucky for him) doesn't smoke.
Since the burn in this table
of yours extends deeply into the
wood, the first step in the repair
is to scrape out carefully all of
the charred wood. Use razor
blade. If the blade is too long
to fit into the damaged area,
break off part of the blade. Next,
sandpaper the depression with a
piece of fine sandpaper wrapped
around pencil or small round
stick. You might be able to use
an emery board for this.
The third step is to fill this
damaged area with stick shellac.
This will give a much better Job
than wood plastic and will not
damage lacquered finish as the
wood plastic may do. Stick
shellac looks like ordinary seal
ing wax except that it is made in
colors resembling those of furni-
ture. 1t is sold by the larger
paint stores.
Select shade that most closely
matches your furniture. You
handle this by heating the blade
of an old table knife over a gas
or alcohol flame just enough to
melt the shellac. Do not use a
candle flame as this is smoky
and will discolor the patch.
Drip the melted shellac into
the depression and press firmly
into place with the heated blade.
Wipe the patch level with the
edge of the blade. After the
Shellac hardens. it can be further
scraped or trimmed with a razor

Cement on Furniture
Dear Mr.. Baum:
"A big dab of the clear acetate
cement that I used for repairing
a vase spilled on top Of my
beautiful new television set. 1t
hardened and now I can't re-
move it. 1 have a large orna-
ment covering the spot now"
MISS j. M. B.
Answer-It is easy to keep
enough stuff piled on top of a
TV set to hide the damage, and
that is just what you will have
to do. The material that will
soften the cement will also take
the finish off the wood, so it is
best to leave it alone.
Stains on Plastic
Dear Mr.. Baum:
MY hot water supply comes
from an automatic oil-burning
furnace. The flow of water has
been gradually diminishing. I
would like to know something
about the process of cleaning the
sediment from the boiler so as
to restore the flow, MISS L. j.
Answer-If your home is
equipped with galvanized iron
piping, you should look to this
first as the cause of the dimin-
ishing water flow. Pipes of this
material gradually become
clogged and must be replaced to
restore the supply. The cleaning
of sludge and sediment from the
hot-water coils of the furnace is
a job that must be handled by
a person with special training
in this work, otherwise, there is
serious danger of poisoning the
entire household.
To Clean Utensils
Dear Mr.. Baum:
please tell me the best way
to clean the inside of an alumni
mum saucepan. ID. w. R.
Answer-There is no best way
and if you have a method that
works, take my advice and leave
well enough alone or you may
end up like one poor unfortu-

OfficioIs Ask Qualification
OF Sofewoy Milk Ruling

The Virginia State Milk
Commission will confer with
Attorney General j. Lindsay
Almond tomorrow for an inter-
probation Of the Safeway Stores
case before reaching q decision
on new minimum milk prices
throughout the State.
John w. Owen, commission
secretary, said the three milk
commission members felt the
court ruling In the Safeway
Stores case needed Qualification.
The fact that the commission
is concerned about effect Of the
ruling on minimum prices was
the first indication that 1t was
considering retention Of retail
price controls--at least in some
parts Of the State.
At the hearing in Northern
Virginia, q majority Of those
who appeared urged retention
Of producer price controls and
elimination Of retail price con-
trolls. The commission can drop
controls on either or both prices
In different parts Of the State.

also ruled that 1t could not set
different minimum prices for
milk hold in stores and milk
delivered at home.
At the series Of hearings held
as q result Of the Supreme
Court decision, Attorney Arthur
B. Hanson for Safeway Stores
has argued that the commission
must set q minimum price that
represents the lowest possible
price any daily can sell its milk,
and still make q reasonable
proflt-regardless Of whether 1t
Is sold in stores or delivered at
home. Safeway Stores owns Luz
cerne Dairy, which Is sold ex-
clusively in the grocery chain.
Diaries that deliver milk to
homes, however, told the COM
mission q minimum price should
be fixed that Is O representa-
tive" minimum for all types Of
diaries. This could be expected
to result In O higher minimum
than the plan favored by Safe
way because q representative
minimum would take into ac-
count the operating costs Of all
airies-including home delivery
expenses.
