HOUSE DOCTOR
BY HERMAN BAUM

Il read in a magazine that If
brass is lacquered it win not
tarnish. I tried the idea on door
knobs and such a mess you never
saw before. Now, what do l do
to restore them to a reasonably
good condition." P. F. K. wants
to know.
Answer-Perhaps you did not
follow directions. Here is the way
the job should be done. And let
us emphasize that there are no
short cuts. You will need quite
an assortment of materials, so
collect them all before you start.
Get a pint can of lacquer thin
ner. Any left over can be used
by the wife for nail polish re-
mover.
Also. get a can of brass polish,
a quantity of benzene and use
any left over for cleaning paint
brushes, a small can of metal
lacquer. a inch soft bristle
paint brush. pair of white cot
ton gloves which can be used
later when you direct traffic,
! usher at a wedding or paint the
Kitchen; and, finally some soft
rags.
The metal lacquer is the i'm
ortant item, so don't let a paint
Lealer with more craftsmanship
than knowledge talk you into
accepting furniture lacquer or
floor lacquer as being lust as
good" The label should say that
1t is for metal and nothing else
The first step is to remove the
old lacquer. Saturate a cloth with
the lacquer thinner and wipe the
metal. The appearance will not
change when the lacquer is all
of but rubbing at frequent in
tervals for four or five minutes
should remove it. Lacquer thin
ner is highly explosive, so it is a
good idea to work outdoors OF
near an open window.
Next. polish the metal and dc
a thorough job of this, because
this is the finish that you are
going to preserve. The next two
operations should Immediately
follow the polishing as the metal
soon begins to tarnish.
If your fingers touched the
metal while it was being polished
you left finger prints on the sur
face. The lacquer will cause these

Fix Dresser Drawers
In Cold, DN Weather

Cold dry weather is the best
time to Ak dresser drawers that

Then seal all exposed surfaces

three-quarter-inch holes across
the bottom" w. r.. S. writes.
Answer--The purpose Of a
storm sash is to create a dead
air space between the glass. You
have defeated the purpose by
boring holes in the frame. If, by
properly installed weatherstrip-
ping, you can make the inside
windows and the storm windows
practically alright, you will have
no problem with condensation
on the glass.

Care Of Awnings

because mildew destroys them.
The materials are supposed to be

dealer is not reliable2" Mrs. G.
A. D. wants to know.
Answer suspect you are not
properly protecting the awnings
when you put them away for the
winter. The mildew-prooflng
consists of the application. of a
chemical which may eventually
be washed out by rains. You can
buy these chemicals in depart
ment stores. When you are
ready to remove the awnings this

SpIit-Up Can Yield
Second Bathroom

Dividing your bathroom into
compartments is an inexpensive
way to obtain the usefulness OF
a second bathroom. When space
permits, one compartment can
enclose the toilet and another
compartment, the bathtub.
The addition of twin lavato-
rieS equipped with countertops
and cabinets and sufficiently
large mirrors will permit two
persons to wash at the same
time.

to show up like the ones in the
police files. Put on the cotton
gloves and use clean cloth sat-
urated with the benzen to wash
on the prints. Support the knobs
in a manner so that they can be
lacquered without being touched.
Lacquer dries extremely
rapidly so that it cannot be re-
brushed. Flow it on from a we'll
filled brush with the longest
possible strokes. Only one coat
is necessary. Allow the lacquer
to dry for an hour before hand
ling.
Trapped Moisture
I'VE are contemplating siding
our house with aluminium siding
to eliminate the problem of paint
peeling of the wood siding. The
walls are insulated with rock
wool which we had blown in.
A paint dealer advises us not to
use the new siding because this
will trap water inside the walls
and cause rotting. I can find no
evidence of this moisture. The
siding people say this idea of
the aluminium causing rotting is
nonsense. What is your opinion?"
F. M. asks.
Answer-PerhapS the siding
salesman knows what he is talk
ing about, but if the dampness
that is collecting inside the walls
has no way to escape, it will de-
finitely cause the timbers to de-
cay and then you will have real
trouble. Paint on the sides Of a
house peels because water is get
ting under it and this water
comes from inside the house
after passing through the walls in
the form Of vapor. If you open
the insulation is damp. Since the
water cannot go through the
aluminium, it continues to collect
in increasing quantities inside
the walls. The final result Is
obvious.
Weeds in Driveway
About two weeks ago I paid
50 for some material to kill
weeds in my driveway. 1t did not
work too well and it is expensive
also. What product do you rec
ommend?" Mrs. E. M. w. writes
Answer-I do not know what
chemical you bought. but ice
cream salt is the best. Dis

The Art Of the Potter
By JOYCE FIELD

TNHE ART OF the potter is as admirable
l. as it is ancient And the creative
potter today still uses the basic tools of
his primitive ancestors: His fingers. The
good earth still supplies, in plentitude, the
fundamental ingredient: Clay. And the
potter'S wheel and the baking kiln of
ancient man are still employed in many
countries
In Falls Church, Va, this primitive art
becomes a tool of modern design in the
skilled hands of Mrs. Vally Possony. Mrs.
Possony is no primitive" in art world
lingo. She studied creative pottery for five
years in her native Vienna, Austria Now
her home and studio coincidentally enough,
are only few miles from Vienna, Va
What made her want to become potter?
Vally PoSSony will tell you:
Il remember when was only years DID,
l was taken to great exposition in Austria
I remember a tall Negro picking up a
handful of clay, and in a matter of seconds
that lifeleSs lump became thing of beauty.
The magic of that transformation has
stayed with me all my life"
For many years. during her youth, Mrs
PoSSony travelled through Europe, studying
art in Holland, making pots in Berlin and
then suddenly embarking on an entirely
new endeavor in Paris. In the city on the
Seine she worked at her sisters establish
ment, designing wool knitted clothes for
the chic Fifth Avenue shops of New York
Then came the great adventure: The
United States. That was back in 1910. AS
many other immigrants before them, the
Possonys arrived practically pennileSS
And, as SO many Others they found this
land of opportunity, but not without its

struggles. Soon, however, her husband Dr.
Stefan T. PoSSony, was called to Washing
ton, where his knowledge of international
politics proved invaluable. Today, DR.
PoSSony teaches the subject at Georgetown
University.
Now Vally PoSSony is able to devote much
of her time to her chosen field: Creative
pottery And if you have attended any
exhibition of the potter's art in the Wash
ington area, you are bound to have seen
some examples of her work. Beyond that,
she has given more than a thousand hours
to the pottery shop at Walter Reed Hos
pital. where pottery making has proved to
be fusion of art and therapy In 1854 the
Washington Junior Chamber of Commerce
awarded her plaque as the outstanding
artist of the year.
Only recently, Mrs. PoSsony discovered
that her art has achieved an international
reputation. A friend just back from
AfghaniStan told her of having been a
dinner guest Of an American there. The
soup course was served in dishes which
appeared strangely familiar When he
inquired politely about their origin, he was
happily surprised to learn that his host had
purchased them at the Harvest Fair in
Alexandria, where Vally Possony had been
exhibiting her wares
There are four potters wheels in the
Possony studio all foot pedaled. Despite
the fact Mrs Possony maintains a lovely
home, rears teen-age daughter and types
her husbands voluminous manuscripts.
those potter's wheels keep humming con-
stantly. And the ShapelesS clay, almost
in the twinkling of an eye, becomes dish,
bowl, vase, thing of form and beauty.
