The Detroit Tribune:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-02

During the last two months I
have seen some excellent exam
pies of do-it-yourself work. many
of which were flrst-time under
takings. Projects included refin-
ishing a desk. building built-in
bookcase where door formerly
existed. laying q new hardwood
floor to match and meet a hard
wood floor originally laid in only
part of the house.
In general. the consensus has
been that speed and finish de-
pend on preparation and. where
new finishes were desired, know
ing just what type Of sandpaper
to use.
How do you select sandpaper?
BY feel? BY, rubbing over the
surface and deciding it's about
rough enough or smooth enough"
to do the job?
Selection Of the right kind of
sandpaper and the proper grit
size often means the difference
between a homemade" and an
eye-catching. Professionalism
ing finish.
Until recently all sandpaper
carried difficult to understand
grit or mesh designations.
Although the standard mark
ings still appear on industrial
sandpapers. most sandpaper
manufacturers have followed the
lead Of one of Americas fore
most manufacturers of sand
paper in simplifying the grit
system for home users.
From its entire range of grits,
this manufacturer. selected five
for hardwood sanding, and
three for top coat finishing.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-02

Symbols and mesh numbers
were supplemented or replaced
by names. such as fine, medium
and coarse. This new sirnpli.
fed grit system simplifies your
home sanding problems and 1t
assures you of getting what you
want for the job you have in
mind.
Besides aluminium oxide and
silicon carbide, sandpapers are
made with emery. flint and gar
net. Because Of its rounded
mineral grains. emery = dull
black In color---is relatively slow
cutting. and is used primarily
for cleaning or polishing metal.
Flint is white. and is best known
by home users because OF its
general availability. It is a rela-
lively dull mineral compared to
the synthetics, and its softness
gives it a short cutting life.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-04-02

Garnet has long been used
for wood working: Is reddish
brown. and has good. medium
hard-cutting edges. but is not
recommended as highly for
home use as the synthetics be-
cause its use is restricted to
wood working.

Campground Changes

Concept Of campground accommodations in our
National Parks and Forests should be changing.
More and more vacationers are camping out and
there have been tremendous improvements in camp
ground conveniences provided by manufacturers We
need more campgrounds, and some Of the customary
fixtures may not be necessary.
Appearance of countless house traierS, small med
ium and almost too large on highways is AN ncreas-
ing factor
Then there are small gasoline stoves and portable
tables and chairs plus coolers, air mattresses fine
sleeping bags and other features.
Today when Park and Forest Service officials plan
campgrounds they think partially in terms of trailer
spaces. They also give thought to the situation
where about half the week day campers in Glacier
come with gas stoves.
Rock and brick outdoor fireplaces expensive.
Campground of the future apparently requires fewer
fireplaces and perhaps not as many picnic tables.
More improved restrooms necessary, and there
is the problem of showers They've been tried and are
difficult to maintain Glacier should consider camp
ground shower franchise.
Campgrounds aren't taking the place OF hotels and
cabin camps. Sprague Creek campground dating back
to about 1895 is likely the Oldest visitor accommoda
ton in Glacier
However more and better campground facilities
are realized as must MR

New Fire Truck

OF concern to every Columbia Falls resident is the
need for new fire truck in Columbia Falls
Teddy Andrew with Bill Rem, Don Daval and Bill
Smith appeared before the city council at their August
meeting Monday and pointed out that the city needed
a new fire truck that would cost about $4,000
Andrew pointed out that the citys fire insurance
classification would change if the community did not
improve its fire fighting equipment Present trucks
are not adequate for the growing city.
The firemen proposed bond issue through an
election.
City Attorney James Cumming replied that the
city could not go into debt over per cent OF its
assessed valuation (of approximately $2,0OOOOO) ex
cept for water and sewers. City Indebtedness for
water system improvements exceeds per cent Hence
the proposed street grade bond question coming up this
fall is being qualified aid to sewers and water
Since Columbia Falls cannot bond itself for new
fire truck, there are three possible solutions. One
would be to create rural fire district and have the
neighboring rural help support the local fire
department About half the calls to rural areas
Second choice would be to have the mill levy pro-
vide enough funds to buy truck in perhaps three
annual payments plus donations.
Finally the firemen could sponsor fund drive for
a new truck.
Obviously the city with a population over 1900
cannot long continue with fire trucks that were fine
for |. 200 residents. MR.

The HQYseed Look

Some of the Flathead's finest sweet clover stands
mixed with weeds grace Columbia Falls streets, parks
and vacant lots.
With this in mind, Councilman Bud Orndorf had
good idea at the council meeting Monday when he
proposed that the city invest in mower and pro-
coed to spruce up the town.
Some of the other councilmen agreed, but there
was the usual question Of funds
These TALL uncut clover stands provide fire threat
in fall and spring. In winter they create street snow
problems and in summer unsightly.
In addition there hazards such as tall clover
obscuring stop signs.
Difficulty is finding someone to NOV the clover

about three years old, isn't it?'' We wanted more

about spruce bark beetles to talk about.
We asked about the Bob Marshall Wilderness area,

the National Forests reserved these great tracts as
primitive. He favored it obviously. No mention was
made of changing Bob Marshall area boundaries. He
had flown over the South Fork drainage.

How the gentleman from Chicago
