The Soviet Exhibition
at the Coliseum in New
York City is interesting
from many angles. Only
one block away is the

which is one stop the Russian
visitors will not make. Outside
the Coliseum itself hang two
flags side by side-the Amer
lean and the Russian. When
you first see them you blink
your eyes and ask yourself If
this can be true-that a Red

JOHN L. WILLIAMS, EN2 of
Cape Hatteras, who is with the
Coast Guard and stationed at Five
Fingers Light Station, landed a
SAT pound, 9 ounce halibut using a
fishing rod and reel last week.
This may be a record for this
type of fish by rod and reel in
Alaska. AS reported to the Bureau
of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife,
the halibut took one hour and a
half to land using 40 pound test
nylon monofilament line. 1t was
seven feet two inches long and
three and one half feet wide.
Coast Guardsman Williams said
that he had larger one and play
ed it to the surface, but the line
parted before he could land it. The
records of the fish are being sub
mitted to the Field and Stream
magazine for their check of record
halibut and recognition of Alaska's
sport fishing excellence.
Williams, 26, whose wife, Bar
bara, and daughter Sheree, live at
Buxton entered the Coast Guard
in 1851 and was stationed at Hat
teras Inlet Lifeboat Station before
arriving in Alaska on February 10,
1859. He attended Buxton High
School. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Vetter ]. Williams, live at Buxton.

your opinion?" P. K. S. wants
to know.
AnSwer-It is true that a
solid masonry wall has prac-
tically zero insulating value.
But the walls can be insu-
lated. I think the best ma
terial for this purpose is sty-
rene plastic foam. You have
seen this material used for
window displays because it
looks like blocks of snow. 1t
is relatively inexpensive. For
insulation, it is available in
sheets one inch thick and it

lating value.

Answer - A new roller

1.-THE other evening we
entertained a fashionably
dressed young woman, but
not until she had gone did
we discover that her steel
tipped high heels had sunk
little half-moon gouges in
our beautiful oak floors, some
as much as an eighth Of an
inch deep. Is there any way
to repair the damage? Dis
gusted writes.
AnSwer-We often ponder
over the sadistic traits that
motivate the designers of
feminine a ,parel. Often they
supply amusement to this
drab world. But if those
heels that are modelled after
a knitting needle continue to
be the vogue, the economic
life of the country will be
disrupted.
Your new split-level home
will be offered with concrete
floors on the lower level and
half-inch boiler plate in the
bedrooms. Let's hope that
the style enjoys the same
unpopularity as the sack
dresses.
There is a good chance
that you can steam those
dents out Of the floor, but
you are sure to do some re-
finishing afterwards. The
method is to place a small
piece of thick damp blotting
paper over each dent. On top
of this place a dime. If you
are short on cash, use a bot
tie cap.
Apply a heated soldering
Iron or the tip of a smooth
ing iron to the dime. The
heat will generate steam
from the water in the blot
ting paper and this will
cause the wood in the dent
to'expand to its original size.
The steam will damage the
yarniSh but by careful ap-
plication of fresh varnish,
you should be able to patch
1t sufficiently well until the
floor is ready for ref1nishing.

afraid that large amounts of

best way to prevent this?"
K. S. A. asks.
Answer-Go to a roofer for
some Of that hard black tar

such material suitable for
an asbestos roof. He may
have reference to a heavy
black paste that is used for
the repair of built-up roofs
but this would look awful on
your house. Asbestos roofs
should last quite a long time,
and I am confident that the
leaks in yours can be re-
paired by a roofer at nominal
cost.

UncOmmitted on Truman
Representative Roosevelt said
that at the time of the 1914
Democratic convention in Chi
cago his father "professed not
to give a damn whether the
delegates came up with Justice
Douglas, Jimmy Byrnes or Sem
ator Harry Truman" as his
running mate.
Mr.. Truman, Supreme Court
Justice William o. Douglas and
War Mobilizer James F. Byrnes,
who later held other Govern
ment posts, all were promi-
nently mentioned for the nomi-
nation.
Political experts believe Mr..
Roosevelt could have had his
way in the naming of a vice
presidential candidate. AS it
turned out Mr.. Truman won
the nomination and succeeded
to the presidency when Mr..
Roosevelt died on April IL, 1916,
at Warm Springs, Ga.
Mr.. Truman won another
term in 1913, against the same
Republican candidate Mr..
Roosevelt had defeated, Thomas
E. Dewey, and directed the
Nations destinies through the
fateful postwar period.

his father in his private rail-

II was struck by fathers ir-
ritability over what was hap

apparent indifference as to

mate.

was resigned to the dumping
of Vice President Henry A.
Wallace; he felt that Wallace
had become a political liability
