buffet, an old walnut dresser
with a pinkish- brown marble
top, has drawer pulls Of carved
fruit, the corner china cabinet
is pine in a dark finish and the
china service. which is English,
has a scenic pattern in plum on
white background. What color
would be best for the woodwork
and dado, what type of wallpaper
for the walls above the dado,
and what color for draperies?
Could Hitchcock chairs be used
in the room if I decide to re-
place the ones I have?
Answer-Paint the woodwork
and dado of your DINING room
a parchment shade, get wallpaper
with a diamond pattern outlined
in gold and white on a blue
background, and the draperies in
a deep shade of rose. Hitchcock
chairs would blend very nicely
with the Early American scheme
Of the room.
Questions swould like some
suggestions for a room occupied
by two boys, aged 5 and 6. The
only furniture I have to start
with are maple twin beds. What
additional pieces of furniture
should I get? Also, what colors
would be suitable for draperies
and bedspreads? The walls are
painted a deep shade of pink.
A.-Since you have the maple
beds for your boys room, adj
wise getting the additional pieces
in maple, also. A double desk,
two desk chairs, a chest of draw
ers, two smaller chests to use as
night tables, and two easy chairs
will suit the youngsters needs.
Get the draperies in blue-and-
white plaid, and the bedspreads
in maroon.
OIL am planning to paint a
small hall between my living
room and bathroom. Will you
suggest a color? Three walls of
the living room are blue and the
fourth wall and ceiling are pink.
The bathroom color scheme is
pink, blue. black and white.
A.-Gray would be a good
shade to paint the walls of your
hall. as this color.will harmonic
with both living room and bath
room color schemes.

It is not difficult and need
not be expensive to transform
an interior from the drab, faded,
out-of-date style it may have
become into a fresh, exciting
vision.
A room does not have to be
completely redecorated to give
1T a fresh. new appearance. Gay
new slipcovers and sheer. sum-
merry draperies will often do
the trick.
Or new interest can be added
by papering one wall, or even
part of a wall, with a scenic
pattern. 1t will look almost as
if another window was added
to the room.
A Far Eastern theme can COM
pletely change the mood of the
small study, for example. This
can be accomplished often with
out discarding the original fur
nishings, by giving them a new
background and adding a few
exotically decorative accessories.
Overall decor Of the room
might reflect interest in Japan
without being overwhelming
The impression can be made
with clever use of wallpaper anc
paint. A colorful wallpaper
mural, showing scenes of Japa'
nese cities and framed by {
lbead-effect border, gives Interest
to a corner of the room. The
rest of the walls can be papereo

Special Brick Needed
In Outdoor FirePIoces

Question: I would like to build
an outdoor fireplace. Could I
use cinder or cement blocks? The
cost would be about half of clay
brick.
Answer: Cinder or concrete
blocks or bricks can be used,
but you should line the combus-
ton area with a fire brick. This
will prevent damage to the blocks
because of excessive heat.

the tile. Can you help me?
Answer: You Should have no
difficulty : in removing the dis
coloration, if you use scratch
less securing powder. To pre-
vent further furnishing, coat the
metal band with clear lacquer.
This, however, will not be a per-
manent cure. You'll have to re-
peat the process from time to

Answer: Try cleaning the glass
with a fine, scratches securing
powder and a little kerosene. Or
you might try the wax-base
glass-cleaning preparation. If
these materials have been tried
without success, the streak might
be a thin film of paint. If so,

WITH THE
HIGH SCHOOLS
By BOB HANSON

Although the football season
is over and high schools are
turning their attention to bas-
ketball, Joe Gallagher Of st
Johns and his staff of able
assistants deserve some mention
for guiding their underrated
Cadets to the city football cham
pionship.
Gallagher, rounding out 10
years at st. Johns, has an en-
viable record. He numbers three
unbeaten seasons and three city
titles in that span. In seven OF
the 10 years Gallagher coached
teams have won the Catholic
League championship.
1t is said of football coaches
and baseball managers that
they are no better than theiI
material. Given top grade play
ers. anyone can be success.

Cardaci's spotting from the
grandstand during the game,

I'VE only used two new offen-
sive plays, but that along with
the blocking in the second half
the best we had all year, did the
trick" Gallagher said.

year. It was obvious when the
Cadets dropped their first two
games. The turning point came
with the Episcopal game. Up to
that point it was 1-3. the lone
victory over an inept Phelps
team.
I'VE realized from the start
that it would take considerable
work to get a representative
team" Gallagher was saying the
other day. But all the time we
were pointing for three teams
Episcopal, Carroll and Gonzaga.
In order it was 1877, 6-6 anc
1870, the last netting the Cath
Iolic League title. The froStine

down behind, scored three times
in the second half for the city

APPRAISAL OF
TOWN TO START
Professional Appraisers To
Start Work Here On
Friday
ASK COOPERATION

Richard Kiesel, representing j.
M. Cleminshaw, Inc, professional
appraisers, has been in town for
a week and has set up the mach
inery in the town office for the
start of the appraisal of property.
He emphasizes that the appraisal
is being made for tax purposes
and is expected to equalize valu-
ations on properties. Mr.. Kiesel
expects to be ready to start
checking the town by tomorrow,
Friday, and will soon be joined
by another worker. The apprais-
ers will ask to view the interior
of homes, the basement, the first
floor, and part of the second floor,
to get an idea of the physical
condition of the home. The ap-
praisers will ask a few questions,
such as how long the house has
been owned, the purchase price,
and if any re-modeling since pur-
chase. They will be interested to
know the type of plumbing, base
ment and exterior walls; insula-
ton, if any; type of roofing and
floors; the number of rooms and
recreation rooms, and the interior
finish. Heating will be consider
ed, fireplaces, the number of baths
and toilet rooms, and if tiling is
used. The garage will also be
checked, its approximate age and
if remodeled. The appraisers will
put an observed depreciation on
the property, measure the house,
and make sketch on a card
used for the data on appraisal,
If persons are not at home they
will attempt call-backs at diff
ferent hour of the day. If not at
home on the second call, they will
estimate the home and it will be
noted on the card that it has been
estimated. If there is any ques-
ton they will attempt a reap
praisal. After the cards are COM
pleted a schedule of pricing will
be made. The appraisers will ap-
preciate the cooperation of the
public in the task which will take
several months to complete. They
will announce later the areas in
which they expect to work at a
given time.
