Question: would like to re-
place my beat-up plaster ceiling
by a canvas one. / cannot af-
ford a contractor, but I think Il
can do the job myself. Would
you please advise on the tack
ing-up procedure? What type of
nails should / use, and what
weight material?
Answer-It Is not practical toI
nail canvas on a ceiling, because
you will not be able to get it,
smooth enough and there will
always be a tendency, for the
fabric to bulge. If the plaster
has numerous small cracks, but
no large ones, I'LL in with patch
ing plaster or spackling COM
pound; then put up a painters
cloth, using the same procedure
and materials as you would for
wallpaper. Wallpaper dealers
sell it. Where plaster is badly
cracked, cover it with plaster
board.
Iodine Stains
Question We have iodine
stains in the porcelain bathroom
ssink. and bleach will not re-
move them. Is there any prep
:aration which you can recon-
:mend.
! Answer-Try rubbing with de-
:natured alcohol, or rub with al
solution Of one tablespoonful of
Photographic hypo in a pint Of
water.
I; Preserving Oak Tables
QuestiOn-Please tell me the
best process to preserve oak pic
mic tables. I'd hate to enamel
and lose the natural wood look.
Would spar varnish take the
weather? Is there a combina-
ton Of linseed oil and turpen-j
tine?
Answer-Spar varnish can be
used with satisfactory results.
but refinishing will be necessary
every year or two. If the tables
are taken indoors for the winter,
refinishing every two years may
work out. Linseed oil applied in
liberal quantities will also do.
Apply a coat and. after an hour
or so for soaking, wipe off all
excess. Allow a few days to elapseI
for drying before applying the,
next coat. Three sor four such
coats will be necessary. Be sure
all excess oil is wiped off. If this
is not done. the surface will be
sticky.

...with JAMES e. lNGEBRETSEN
President, Spiritual Mobilization

''The foreman of a road gang,
wishing to prolong the job" ac-
cording to a recent issue of The
Wall Street Journal, INSTRUCTED
his men to do some Stalling. One
day he was hailed by one Of the
laborers, who said:
g Boss, | dug this hole where
you told me and began to put
the dirt back as | was supposed
to, but all the dirt won't go back
in. Whatll | do?'
For a long time, the foreman
pondered the problem.
There is only one thing to
do he finally announced.
You'll have to dig the hole a
little deeper.
There, l would say, is the
whole philosophy Of "progres-
sive" or liberal" government.
Do as many needless jobs as you
can get money appropriated for;
and, whenever a project such
as, for instance, Federal crop
control" or wage and hour con-
trcl" or social security -
doesn't quite work out the way
it was supposed to, there is only
one thing to do--just dig the hole
a little deeper.
