was, even at its noisiest and
most incredible.
In providing big emotional
scenes for a variety of secondary
characters. however, Rod Serling
twho adapted the book man
aged to lose his key player in a
welter of sub-plots dealing with
these associates. The head writ

Once Serling established the
fact that "The Comedian" was a
ruthless, egotistical man, he had
spoken his piece. And after a
half-dOzen people had reafiirmed
1t six different ways. II became
a bore.
Where Serling and Playhouse

What do you think Of brown

you suggest for the walls that

A.-Brown and white tweed
would be a good selection for
the carpeting in your living
room. Rose walls would help
to tie the color scheme to-
gether.
Q.-The furniture in my bed

not use cafe-style curtains.
They would look well on the

solve the problem of the door

Question: would like some
advice on drapery colors for my
dining room. The dado, wood
work and furniture are ma
hogany. the upper walls and
ceilings are painted a medium
shade Of blue and the wall-to-
wall carpeting is gray.
Answer think that q pat
termed drapery would do a lot
to brighten up your dining
room. A large floral pattern in
pink. blue and brown on a rose
background would be a good
choice.

close up the sides so ! can
spray underneath. What kind
of spray should I use and where
can ] rent a spray gun?" B. p.
Answer-One way to exter-
inmate termites is to poison
the soil in which they live. An
other method is to catch the
termites, place them on q brick
and tap each one on the head
squarely with q hammer
Slightly less efficient than the
first method. With either meth
cd you must get under the
house, even if it means tearing
out the floor. If you fail to do
this, you may as well look for
a new place to live because the
termites are going to eat up
this one. Spraying under a
house for termites is somewhat
less effective than soaring them
to death with a Halloween
mask.
Lime Deposit in Kettle
my best double boiler and
kettle have accumulated a
coating of lime on the inside
and I cannot remove it. 1t
looks bad and also interferes
with the heating of the utensil.
Is there any simple way to re-
move this lime?" Mrs. EMS.
Answer-To remove the lime.
have a picture Of ice-cold wa
ter available. Place the dry
utensil over the burner and get
it as hot as you dare without
burning a hole through it.
Then Immediately pour the
cold water into it all at once.
The lime should crack and can
be lifted out. The treatment
may discolor the metal but
what do you have to lose? To
prevent this happening again.
place a clean oyster shell in the
bottom of the kettle when boil
ing water. If you live where an
oyster shell would be a curl
osity, try clay marbles.
To Repel Insects
IT am having trouble with
insects getting on wet paint
when I paint the outside Of my
house. How can I keep them
off?"-W. S. M.
Answer-A few drops of oil of
citronella added to the paint
will keep insects away. In most
localities painters are not
troubled by insects If they wait
until late fall when the days
are still mild.
