Floor in Basement
Question--We have q con-
crete floor now In the base
ment. We want to convert
part Of the basement into q
family room, using wood pan
cling and have a hardwood
floor. Can a wood floor be
put down on the concrete?
Answer-The thing to re-
member Is that no dampness
should get at the wood. II
1t does. the wood will rot
eventually. To protect the
wood against this, first mop
on e coat Of liquid asphalt
damp-prooflns, available at
building supplies dealers.
Then put down a layer Of
heavy asphalt-saturated felt,

Question: We have fire-
place trouble In our new
home. II has 0 brick Chin
ney and the fireplace smoked
badly. The chimney man
suggested another row Of
brick across the top Of the
fireplace opening, because he
thought the damper was set
too low and didn't allow
enough Of q smoke pocket.
This was done and. although
II did help o great deal. the
fireplace still smokes. Now

down the chimney and re-
build. but we cannot afford 1t.
Short Of tearing 1t down and
rebuilding. what else can I

Answer: Before embarking

although It may be the only
answer. try placing Q strip
Of do-it-yourself aluminium

opening another 9 inches or

smoke and still provide suf-
ficient draft. Believe It is
worthwhile trying. at least.

years ago we put In knotty
pine paneled walls, leaving

It has become darker. How
can we bring back the orig
inal tone and apply q protec-

Answer: Such tile can be
painted. But, first. all the
gloss must be well dulled by
rubbing with 20" sandpaper.
Next wash down the tile with
Q good detergent to remove
all traces Of dirt and grease,

by any good quality gloss or

Cement Floor Crooks
Question: We have q new
cement floor In our basement.
Cracks developed all over.
] filled them with cement,
but 1t doesn't seem to have
done any good. as they have
reappeared. Can you sug-
gest q remedy? There doesn't
seem to be any leaking.
Answer: Very fine hairline
cracks are not serious and
another filling with cement
over dampened surfaces may
stop the temperance. : II
however, the cracks are
wider and numerous. the
floor is probably weak and
not over q inches thick. Con-
crete cellar floors should be
4-inches TO 6-inches thick.
One or two cracks can be
filled by cutting them wider
and deeper, with perpendicu-
lar sides. Brush out all loose
particles and wet the inner
surfaces. Then pack the
cracks with o fairly stiff.

as five years of social security

Another mistaken idea is re-
sponsible for some farmers
failing to report their earnings
on the option. Some farmers
believe that they can begin to
report for two years or so as
they approach IS and then
qualify for benefits at age IS.
Definitely, this is not the case
where younger persons are
concerned. For example, a
farmer who will reach IS in
January 1871 or later, will
have to have reported for 10
years at least before he can
be insured and entitled to
benefits. And, it will be to
his advantage to have report
ed for every year from 1856
on, as his average earnings,
upon which the amount of his
benefit will be based, may be
higher for having reported for
every year. Similarly, a far
mer who reaches 65 in the
first six months of 1865 will
have to have made social Sc
curity reports for at least sew
en- years to qualify for bene-
fits at age IS or later.

Social Security
Notes

area believe that a number of
farmers are missing good
thing" when. it comes to social
security, according to a state
ment made today by John F.
Pate, district manager of the
Jackson social security office.
Many farmers are still a
good distance away from
reaching retirement age and
many have children under age
18. Some of these farmers
are not taking advantage of
the option or choice in the So
cial security law that permits
them to report earnings for
social security purposes, even
though their actual net earn
ings for social security pur-
poses, even though their actual
net earnings for the year are
less than $400.
OF course, if farmer actu-
ally has net earnings of S400
or more in a year, he has no
choice. He is obligated to re-
port these earnings as a part
of his Federal Income Tax re-
turn and pay the social secur-
ity tax, even though his total
earnings are such that, with
his exemptions, he may owe no
Federal Income Tax. How
ever, if a farmers net earnings
are below S400, he may have a
choice of reporting or not re-
porting for social security. If
a farmers gross earnings are
1900 or less, he may report,
for social security purposes,
tWo-thirdS of his gross as his
net. Thus, a farmer who had
a gross income of $1.50O could
report two-thirdS of that a.
mount or $1,000 as his net
earnings for social security
purposes, even though his ac-
tual net is less than S400. Like
wise, a farmer whose gross
earnings are over $1,000 may
report $1,000 as his net for So
cial security purposes only.
even though his net may be
below S400. In order to re-
ceive social security credit for
the year, the net reported
must be at least S400.
Some younger farmers are
not taking advantage of this
option. Apparently, they do
not realize that in falling to
do so, they are not providing
their families with survivors
insurance protection under So
cial security. Take for ex-
ample, a farmer with a wife
and two children under 18. If
he had reported $1,000 a year
from 1856 on for social secur-
ity and if he died, his family
could become entitled to S88.60
a month in survivors insur-
ance.
According to Mr.. Pate, a far
mer neglecting to make social
security reports may also be
depriving himself of a chance
TO collect disability payments
under social security should
he become severely disabled
later. The experience with
farmers so far indicates that
the incidence of disability a.
