Dear pastor, three years have

us. The blow was great, the
shock severe. We little thought
the end was near; and only those
who have lost can tell the pain
of parting without farewell. More
each day we miss you dear.
Friends may think the wound
is healed, but they little know
the sorrow that lies within our
hearts concealed.

Combination
Eases Dread
Of Winter

To some home-owners the ar
rival of winter brings a chill in
more ways than one. For them,
bracing the house against cold
weather involves the disagree
able task of taking all the
screens down off their hinges
and replacing them with heavy
storm doors and windows.
On the other hand, thousands
of more up-to-date families vir-
tually breeze through this part
of the seasonal changeover. They
have modern combination"
doors and windows of ponder
osa pine, which stay on their
hinges the year round, serv-
ing as frame for lightweight
screen or glass inserts which
are changed according to the
season.
When winter comes, the screen
panel is removed easily with a
screwdriver and replaced by
the glass panel. These panels
take little storage space.
The combination costs less
than the two doors or windows
it replaces and helps save heat.
In house fully equipped with
storm doors and windows, fuel
bills usually are reduced Is to
80 percent.
Combination doors and win
dows are available in all stand
ard sizes. The clear ponderosa
pine paints easily and is chem
ically treated to resist mois-
ture, preventing harmful warp
ing, swelling and shrinking.

Manufacturers Instruction Sheets
Guide Way to Top-Notch Installation

Most top-quality home con-
struction materials are factory
engineered to give the best serv-
ice possible to the homeowner.
For this reason, they should be
installed in accordance with fac
tory specifications.
Asphalt roofing is one of these
factory-engineered products. The
manufacturers instructions ex-
plain how to prepare the roof
deck, how to carry out such
preliminary steps as application
of an leaves flashing strip" how
to place the shingles, and how
to fasten them securely.
Instruction sheets are based
on many years of practical ex-
perience and laboratory tests
conducted by individual manu-
Smyrna times., 1957-03-14

facturers as well as by the Ma
tional Bureau of Standards and
other research and testing or
ganizations.
Manufacturers publish in
struction sheets because it is in
their own best interest to have
their products give good per-
formance through proper appli-
cation. Instruction sheets are
packaged with the material.
Roofing is not a "do-it-your-
self" project, but the home
owner will find the instruction
sheets valuable as a guide to
determine if he is getting an
application job which will be
as durable and dependable as
the asphalt shingles he has pur-
chased.
