q 42-inch steel culvert beneath

A cloudburst Friday night
forced them to stop their auto
just south of Nashville, Ga, on
U. S. Highway 1923. Several
other motorists were stalled
nearby.
Suddenly the car moved side
ways and we saw water coming
in through the floorboards," said
Mr.. Tyndale. II tried to open
the door, but the water was
nearly to the windows and 1
couldn't get it open. The car
was settling fast. We each
grabbed one of the kids and
dived headfirst out the windows"
Mr.. Tyndale held to the car
and removed a leg brace he wears
as a result Of a polio attack i've
years ago.
I'VE held to the car until the
front end began to sink and we
decided to try to swim back to
the highway" said Mrs. Tyndale.
HE took Nancy because she is
the biggest. I held Billy and we
struck out"
In the darkness and rain the
Tyndales did not know they we're
swimming toward a strong whirl-
pool twisting at the end Of the
railroad culvert.
The suction which grabbed
them twas the most brutal force
I've ever experienced" said the
31-year-old Atlanta engineer
I'VE were swept into the culvert,
tumbling end over end under
water. banging against the side,
and then we were spewed out the
other side. We didn't know if we
were alive or dead. or where we
WERE"
AT the time it (the culvert)
seemed the most horrible thing
in the world. said 27-year-old
Mrs. Tyndale. But we're sure
now 1t saved our lives. We
couldn't have survived in the
deep water. The children were
fighting us. But we were sucked
through the culvert to shallow
water"
Water pressure forced Mrs.
Tyndale out of the culvert into
calm water. Billy popped up be-
side her.

Sanitary Plumbing
II am thinking of building a
shower and toilet in my base
ment as my family is getting
bigger all the time. I intend to
do the work myself as I can't
afford a plumber now. I have
had no experience at this work
so would appreciate any sugges-
tons you can give me-" A. B. jr..
writes.
Answer - Congratulations on
having such a nice large family
but you can't care for them when
Iyou are inside the city jail. The
installation of sanitary plumb
ing by anyone except a licensed
plumber is a violation Of the law
according to every city building
code l know. Sorry, I can't help

never be attached to the con-
crete foundation walls but must
be furred out from it not less
than / inch. This air space is a
good insulator. Never cover a
wall that is apt to leak. The
concrete must be waterproofed
first. The best waterproofing is
hot tar applied to the outside
wall but this will require exca-
waiting around the house. Tar
or asphaltum can be applied to
the inside walls and is generally
effective. Cement waterproofing
paint is also often used.
One method for constructing
walls adjacent to the foundation
is to cement small perforated
metal plates to the concrete.
These plates have nails attached
to the center with the points
projecting outward. Strip of
wood are hammered over these
nails so that the wall-covering
material can be attached to the
wood strips. The disadvantage
that We have founu with this
method is that the cost is no less
than the conventional method,
and also. since cellar walls are
seldom plumb. much shimming
is required to obtain a level sur
face.
The more conventional meth
cd is to build q wood frame. The
studs for this wall can be 2
inches by 3 inches spaced either
Is inches or 2 feet apart. The top
plate is installed first. At right
angles to the ceiling joists. this,
plate can be nailed directly to
the joists. For the wall parallel
to the joists. the plate can be
either nailed to the underside Of
one of the joists or to a bridge
between two Of them. The bot
tom plate is located with q plumb
line. 1t Is then secured to the
concrete with Sd hardened cut
nails or with special masonry
nails.
Drilling the concrete Is not
necessary. The studs are then
secured between the top and bot
tom plate, being toe-nailed with
Sd common nails. Use q level to
make each stud perpendicular.
Blocking is next fixed between
adjacent studs. The location Of
these will depend upon the ma
terial that will be used for COW
ering the walls. II you intend to
use knotty pine or material that
must run vertically. then place
the blocking halfway between
floor and ceiling. II you use wall
board which will later be painted
or papered. place the blocking 48I
inches down from the ceiling.

Stanley Pledge,
Bond Payment
Reussures Investors
At New York PurIey

NEW YORK, Feb. 2 tP.-
Gov. Stanley of Virginia. backed
by the States financial experts
assured a group Of New York in
vestment men yesterday that
bonds to pay for school con-
struction would not be affected
by disputes in the State over
indignation.
Despite the assurances Of the
Governor and other State Of
flcials at a luncheon meeting OF
the Municipal Quorum Of New
York, however, an atmosphere
of caution was evident.
Gov. Stanley and State At
torney General J. Lindsay Al
mond. jr.. said that come what
may regarding the States fight
against educating Negro and
White children together school
bonds would be paid.
Gov. Stanley blamed higher
interest rates for school bond
issues on the tight money
situation prevailing throughout
the country and said that other
States also are having TO pay
more interest for their bond
issues.
Mr.. Almond said that neither
the State nor any Of its cities,
towns or counties will ever
break faith with any person who
has invested in any of their bond
obligations.
In answer to questions. Mr.
Almond explained that a recently
enacted State law cutting of
State funds from any locality
which integrates its schools
would not affect the bonded in.
debtedness Of such schools.
He said that every resource
of a county would be used To
discharge its bonds.
Mr.. Almond added that should
Federal courts force Virginia
public schools to admit Negroes
and whites together. many white
children would be sent to private
schools, reducing the costs of op.
Grating The public schools and
thereby freeing more tax money
for paying off bonds.
