damage. Can you offer any sug-
|gestions?
Answer-If. there is no way OF
making sure the whole raccoon
family is out of the house ESQ
you can close all possible en-
frances without worry. then I'd
suggest your asking the local
A. S. P. C. A. Leaving any

Treating Rubber Tile
Question: have newly-laid
rubber tile on our enclosed porch
Should it be washed first with
a mild detergent and then given
a thin coat Of wax, or should II
be heavily waxed?
Answer-The thin coat of wax,
well rubbed. is always preferable
Further. it will not be slippery
as would definitely be the case
with a thick coat.
- Sprung" Plasterboard
Question-Last fall I finally
completed converting our unfln-
ished attic into a play room for
the children. The results APP
peared to be fine. Recently,
however, l have noticed that the
|plasterboard I put on one wall
seems to have sprung. or bulged,
considerably. What do you think
caused this, and how can ! make
repairs so it can be re-secured
to the two-by-fours behind?
Answer-My guess, without
actually seeing the plasterboard.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-05-18

is that you butted the panels so
closely together there was no
space left for expansion. AS a
result. when the normal expan-
sion occurred, there was no place
for the plasterboard to expand.
except to bulge outward. Sorry
to say the only thing you can
do is remove the board and trim
it enough SO that there's at least
one eighth inch between panels.
Heat Reflector
Questi0n-Would there be any
objections to lining my attic root
with aluminium foil? The idea
is to reflect the suns rays in
summer and. thus. keep the house
cooler. The attic is vented and
the floor insulated.
Answer-It is a perfectly prac-
tical and worthwhile idea and
may cut down heat considerably
Many barns. as we'll as houses,
now have aluminium roofs or are
painted with aluminium paint fol-
just such a purpose,

can finish with varnish. For any

"Self- Closing" Door
Question-One of the doors in
our house closes by itself. What
causes this and how can we cor
rect it?
Answer-The door isn't hung
|perpendicularly. This can be cor
|rected by adjusting either one of
the hinge plates on the frame.

of line. A thin SHIN of wood
placed under the hinge plate will

Question-Please tell me how
I can get stains of a marble
table. They are from carbo-
mated drinks.

hot water and mild securing
powder. If the stains ARE moi
completely removed by thi:
treatment, cover the spots with
a paste made Of powdered whit.
ing and q noninflammable spot
remover. Apply in a thick layer
and allow to remain until dry

Moisture From Drying?
Question - We have cement
walls in our basement. How
much damage would the mois'
ture coming from clothes hung
down there to dry do to the walls
and plaster ceilings? Clothes
are damp dried in the automatic
washer.
Answer - AS rule Of thumb
every pound Of damp-driet
clothes will release a pound Of
water vapor into the air. ! car
only suggest your trying this fol
a while, but keeping a sharp eye
on the results. 1t is better tc
dry clothes outdoors. If the

ST. Paul LUTHERAN

When Rev Paul Setterholu,
missionary 10 Japan, spoke about
his work there. he started his
message by saying Where there
Is real growth. there Is opposi-
ton. He referred 70 the perse-
cutions OF the Christians IN the
early Christian church. as found
In the Acts % the Apostles. James
was killed and Peter was cast IN
10 prison. but the word OF God
grew and proPered.
Pastor Setterholm emphasized
two facts about Japan as a eoun-
try. Flnt--It is crowded. Where
ever YOU look you see crowds Of
people and mountains. Because Of
the many mountains upon which
no one IL living, the people are
crowded into small areas, Where
we have two or three people IN
the United States they have from
80 20 40 In Japan.
About l4qs OF the land Is used
Tor farming, In this volcanic soil,
everything grows.
Second This IL a civilized
country. Their cities are modern
They have great industries, They
dress like Americans. They have
telephones. televslon and electric
lights. They are kind and thought
full They are very much like we
are. They have the same prob
lens and troubles as we do.
Pastor Setterholm said the Jap
anese ask the American mission
airy. How DO you feel about the
atomic bomb ?" The American
says he is sorry that the bomb
was dropped on Japan
They respect the Americans and
are sorry and disappointed when
we do not live up 10 their eNpec-
tations The attitude OF the
American toward other races Is
most important in the work OF the
church. The attitude Of the love
OF Christ Is necessary. Becoming
a Christian in Japan Is a difficult
step 90 take Their customs are
deeply rooted II is considered UNI
patriotic 20 become a Christian.
Most Of the people who are not
Christians are Shintoists, who
worship nature, The youth of Jap
an have no dreams and hopes for
the future The gospel OF Jesus
Christ, which Is a message Of
peace and hope Is what is needed.
Pastor Setterholm closed his
sermon by saying that IL Is the
win Of God that all nations shall
hear the message OF salvation, Be
cause Of this we must share Christ
at home and abroad Anna Wen
