With Screws

A lot of home repair jobs will
be easier if you know the right
ways-and steer clear Of the
wrong ways-to drive a screw.
Take the problem screw that
has worked loose in its hole and
won't stay put. You can deal
with this by filling the hole with
Plastic Wood and resettlng the
screw after the filler has hard
ened over night.
To start a screw in soft wood,
make a shallow indentation with
an aWl or gimlet. Drill a pilot
hole when driving a screw into
hard wood. This will lessen the
chance of splitting the wood,
and you won't be SO likely to
break down the edges Of the slot
in the screw head.
Depth Of the pilot hole should
be about two-tkirds the length
of the screw. The diameter
should be a little smaller than
the diameter Of the screws
smooth shank. A screw will go
into any wood more easily if you
rub a little soap on the threads.
To conceal a screw, drill a
shallow hole slightly larger than
the head. Set the screw in the
hole. Then fill in over the head
with Plastic Wood, built up a bit
higher than the board surface.
Sand down when hard.
Screws used outdoors can be
protected against rust by coat
ing them with a thick paste made
by mixing powdered graphite
with linSeed oil. If they don't
have to stand any great strain,
you can use non-rusting alumni
um or brass screws.

while the American housewife
will continue to buy convenience
foods and built-in maid service
during the coming year. she will
do so only in direct proportion
to the ability of the industry 20
produce these goods at price
she feels the family budget can
afford.
an other words, the conven-
fence food manufacturers and
professors will have to retain
quality while seeking new eff
ciencies that will be reflected in
lower prices if they are to ex-
pect continued expansion during
the coming year.
The opening of new stores
continues largely as a result of
the population shift to suburban
areas. These new stores generally
are larger than the retail outlets
they replace"
Among the factors causing in
creased marketing and production
costs Mr.. Burger cited wages
and transportation which to-
gether account for more than so
per cent of the increase - along
with a general rise in all the
things the marketing firms use,
including fuel, containers and
packaging materials. machinery
and rents. This applies not only
TO the professor, manufacturer
and the distribute but causes
hardships at the production level
he said. because the farmer also
is confronted with steadily in
creasing costs. particularly in
the areas of farm labor and
machinery.
In view of these rising mar
kCtirg costs and indi-&tions of
an increased price-consciousne 3
among consumers during 1858
the industry must seek econo-
mics in the areas where they
are available" Mr.. Burger warn
ed.
Savings are possible in ware
housing through the development
Of better equipment that lends
itself to automatic processes.
Other savings can ne sought by
streamlining ordering and dc.
livery methods. The greatest
potential for savings lies in the
li;re-packaging of food at the
point of production. a practice
that greatly reduces freight and
handling costs and cuts to P
minimum the .ostly spoilage
which is a big part of Distribution
expense"

than ever before in history, be-
cause Of improvements all along
the line in the handling of mer-
chandise from the farm to the

The outlook for 1858. in the
opinion of Ralph W. Burger
president of the Great Atlantic
& Pacific Tea Company. is for
continued high production. con.
tinued increase in the develop
ment and use of convenience
foods, and further improvements
in stores and service. but with
increased emphasis on price.
Mr.. Burger said that while
consumers dependable income
should remain high in the coming
year, continued high living costs
will cause the economy-wise
housewife to keep a sharper eye
on the 25 per cent Of the average
family budget that goes for food.
Because labor, transportation
and the production cost Of food
at the farm level continues to
increase" the A e. p executive
said, "the food industry will have
to seek new economies in dis
tribution in order to pass savings
along to customers"
From the consumers point Of
view, government reports indi-
cate that production Of pork and
chicken should increase slightly
in 1858; small reductions are in
prospect for beef and veal: and
other major food groups should
remain about the same, he said
