How To Satin
Finish Furniture

You can put a professional
looking enamel, or satin-like fin
ish on your implanted furniture,
advises Town Journal Magazine,
if you follow these easy directions:
/. Sand raw furniture with gar
net sandpaper. Apply a coat of
resin sealer and dry thoroughly.
Caution: work in a completely
dust-free place.)
2. Tint flat undercoat with
enamel to be used for final coat.
Apply and let dry thoroughly
about two days, Then sand with
wet sandpaper-it won't clog with
paint during sanding.
8. Apply two more flat under
coats. Let them dry thoroughly,
and sand each with wet sandpa-
per. If you tint each undercoat a
little darker than the one before,
the difference in color will keep
you from sanding down to previ-
Gus coat.
4. Apply final coat of enamel.

Der. In areas of the mountainous

What Is Frost?
There seems to be a widely ac-
cepted erroneous idea that frost is
frozen dew. This error is natural
since the chief difference between
a night that produces dew and
one that produces frost is the
lower temperature for the latter.
Since we are keenly award OF the
cool, crisp weather that produces
the frost, it is easy to suspect the
dew has been frozen to produce
frost.
The type Of night that produces
frost is always fair, cool, and

Town Journal MAGAZINE

Oil companies have recently
come out with SO many new gas
dimes, that you may be wonder
ing just which type of fuel is best
for your car. Selecting the right
grade of gasoline for your engine,
and your own particular driving,
can make big difference in how
your car performs-as well as in
how much it costs you to run it.
The reason behind the rash of
new gasolines on the market lies
in the oil companies desires to
meet the demands of Detroit's
new and more powerful engines
without forcing owners of older
cars to use higher-quality, more
expensive fuel than they actually
need. Some companies believe
they can do this job by upgrading
their existing regular and prem
ium gasolines. Others have come
out with third or super-prem-
ium grade.
Many companies are also adding
chemicals to their gas, in addition
to tetraethyl lead-boron and
phosphorus, for instance. There
are chemicals that serve as anti
oxidants, metal deactivators, cor
rosion inhibitors, detergents and
anti-icing agents, as well as those
that slow up carbon deposits.
Here are guide posts, suggested
by petroleum engineers, to help
you determine the right fuel for
your particular car:
l. Don't use a lower grade fuel
than your engine actually needs,
or you invite knock, or at least
get sluggish performance. A too
low grade fuel could deform your
pistons, blow out gaskets, and
subject the engine to stresses and
strains it wasn't built for.
2. Don't, on the other hand. use
la higher octane . fuel than your
car needs. (Octane ratings mea-

tics of gasoline on an arbitrary
scale developed 20 years ago. II

Justice Courts 0ut1noded
Says Economic Council

Reasons why the Mississippi Ec-
onomic Council believes a modern
county magistrate system should
replace the present system of JUS
tice of he peace. courts in tn e
state are pointed out in a new
folder to be released shortly.
The folder is entitled Repeal
Section ILL.," the section of the
states constitution providing for
the JP system. It will be used by
the MEG in an educational pro-
gram favoring the magistrate
court system, and in seeking an
amendment to the constitution so
such a system can be instituted.

folder states, Justice of the peace

closest to them. Until recently
these courts were generally salts
factory. But with changes in ways
of making a living, in transporta-
ton and in ways of community
life, the justice courts are OUT
NODDED.
''There is a need for a modern
system of lowest courts to serve
the people. But change is difficult
since the justice court is not only
traditional, but is a part of the
states constitution.
The folder traces the history of
JP courts from medieval times,
and tells how the system was
brought to the American colonies
by the early English settlers.
Turning to apparent defects in
the present system, the publica-
ton points out that qualifications
for the office are not high enough
to fill today's needs in melting out
maximum justice at the neighbor-
hood level.
"On problems such as what evil
dence may be offered in a suit,
most justices must go by guess
work or rely on the advice of
competing lawyers who have
vested interest in the outcome"
the folder states, adding that most
Ups do not have legal training.
instructions to the jury are often
left to the lawyers in the case.
This way leaves open the posi-
bility of frequent miscarriages of
justice"
The folder says this situation is
not the result, in most gases, of
any dishonesty or insincerity of
the justice as a person, but is a
fault of the system itself.

tenn where the judge only gets

Cut Cost, Get Better Performance
By Using Right Gas For Your Car

more power, no more miles per
gallon-and it wastes money. Oil
company engineers are convinced
that thousands of motorists use
more costly fuel than they need.
3. In determining which grade
of gasoline to use, pay particular
attention to your owners manual,
which makes safe, conservative
recommendations on fuel grade.
They're based on extensive re-
search in which engines, using
different grades of gasoline are
subjected in the laboratory to the
same stresses they'd encounter on
tough road trips.
4. Listen carefully for engine
knock, most likely to be heard
when you make a fast start at a
light, or drive slowly up hill in
high gear. If you get this knock.
or sharp ping, you either need a
tune-up or a change to a better
grade of gasoline. On the other
hand, if you try a lower grade
gasoline than you are using and
1t gives you no knock or feeling
OF sluggishness, stick to it-you're
IN a position to save money with
out damaging your car.
Causes of Enoine Knork
There are two causes of engine
knock, which affects the kind dof
gas you should use. First. is using
a fuel that is too low on the octane
scale. When the spark ignites the
1uel-alr mixture, a flame front
moves across the combustion
chamber. If the gasoline's octane
rating is too low, the heat pres
sure which builds up in the flame
front causes second flame front
to explode simultaneously across
the chamber in that part of the
mixture which is still unburned.
New pressures build up, with a
clash of flame fronts-and you
get a knock.
Second, is build-up of carbon
deposits in the combustion cham
Der. Instead of the spark igniting
the fuel-air mixture at near-full
compression, the heated carbon

Autumn Frosts

Autumn frosts are important in
our lives because they terminate
summer plant growth. They, in
part, determine the length Of our
main growing season. The first
light frost of 1856 to kill even the
tenderest plants occurred on the
morning of November 10. It ex-
tended to the Gulf Coast and into
Florida. This was a light frost and
occurred on only one night.
Thespattern for frost is to have
a light one or two then warmer
weather followed by other light
ones in October. AS colder air
masses move in over US heavy
frosts occur in November. Late

bring the killing frosts. This pat

My Dear Mr.. East:
In the issue, of Fellowship for
November is an article concern
ing your interesting paper.
While I have many fine friends
from the South, it is still an UNI
happy fact that there is SO much
bitterness and with it the spirit
of arrogance and intolerance.
My color is white. But by no
means due to any choice on my
part. Of the millions that have
entered life in human form no one
has had the slightest choice in the
matter of color, parentage, place
or time of birth.
One inconsistency puzzles me.
How can the alleged followers of
our Great Teacher, the Christ,
condone and openly sanction, as
many have done, the violent af-
front so often directed toward
those of another color? We should
mot call any man common. or
unclean."

the Windex people haven't got this guys gall uh.

got the bright idea putting Christmas design
ellis with each that child could decorate

facturer announced with sob in his voice. and
don't have any at the factory Oh be able
to find store with two left. but probably no.
They're gone and there isn't time for TO send out
! more"
BY this time there wasn't dry eye in the country.
Then came the pitch. Any Of you who have already
used your Stencils he said can them along to your
neqhbors In that way everybody could decorate their
windows with these beautiful designs There is plenty
Of Glass Wax in the stores. and 80"
Gosh. what thoughtful man! He really wasn't in
having all the neghbors running to the stores
TO buy Glass Wax - he just thinking of how pretty
their windows would look.
