Public Housing
Controversy cited
In Letter To Poper

In a letter to this newspaper
Reginald Harris, IT'S Marshall Av.
set forth issues involved in the
present public housing program in
st. Paul He wrote: The current
controversy over locations for
Public Housing is quietly, but sure
ly, assuming an unwanted orphan
status.
The raucous. intolorant voices
of the We don't want EN- in our
neighborhoOd" crowd are heard in
every community in our city. 1t is
comforting to note that Of all the
separate neighborhOOds which have
appeared before the city council to
protest certain recommendations
of the Housing Authority and City
Planning Board only one group has
had enough human deCenCy and
far-sighted courage to place be-
fore the Council a humanitarian
solution to the problem. So it was .
that on Tuesday September 9th, a
group headed by Mrs. Alice Onque
and representing home owners and
residents from the Dale-Selby-LeX-
ington area, appearing before the
City Council rejected certain sites
for public housing and approved
some others This group was able
to put forward an intelligent plan
ned proposal because they were the
approved representatives of mass
meeting on the subject Of public
housing held only one day previous
Sunday, September 4th at Pilgrim
Baptist Church
This group, which is comprised
of the old Community Council
of some of the splendid fighters
CMaxfield SCHOOL, has adopted a
program of action with which the
City Planning Board and Housing
Authority can advisedly cooper ,
ate.
They advocate continued support
of Public Housing and call for an
even greater degree of cooperation
between community groups and
the public agencies responsible for
its transmission. This-to quote .

tavern last week when a Sioux
Indian walked in for a bit of re-

it ito avenge the massacre of Cen

Answer-These insects are
clover mites. During the sum-
mer they live in grass and
shrubbery and enter houses
in the fall for protection dur
ing the winter. Then they
will come out again next
spring. The most successful
control depends upon killing
the mites on vegetation dur
ing the summer and early
fall before they invade the
house.
For this purpose, a wet
table sulphur powder should
be mixed with water at the
rate Of / pound to 16 gallons
Of water. Spray shrubbery.
grass and ornamentals but
not during the heat Of the
day. One application may be
sufficient, but If mites con-
tinue to appear before the
end Of the season, make an
other application.
Paint FoFTnuIc
"Can you please tell me
how to prepare white paint
from paste white lead," r.
s. S. asks.
Answer-White lead paint
is prepared as follows: Paste
white lead. 5 gallons; raw
linseed oil. 21a gallons; tur-
pentine or mineral spirits,
2la gallons, and liquid drier,
Ia pints. These quantities
yield 10 3I16 gallons Of paint.

Answer - A person uses
about Is gallons of hot water
for a bath. Multiply this by
five and you probably have
the answer to the problem.
Your heater has two elements
controlled by two separate
thermostats. There is the pos
sibility that the lower element
Is not functioning, or the con-
trolling thermostat for 1t Is
set too low. The top thermo-
stat should be set at 160 de-
grees and the lower one at
$50 degrees.

or large oil can is better than
a spray for applying it. Get

When you next light the

Remedies for Stuck Windows

I'VE had our house painted
last fall and have not been
able to open a window IN it
since. That is not so bad now,
but some day soon, we hope,
warm weather will be here
and then we shall probably
suffocate. Once before, we
had this trouble. Why &c
painters always leave homes
in this condition? What can
be done to make the windows
movable?" C. L. A.
Answer-If your windows
moved easily after the
painters left, you would have
more reason for complaining
than you have now. Stuck
windows are a sign that the
painters did use plenty Of
paint on your house and that
the quality was something
better than the whitewash
grade.
II the narrow crack be-
tween the stop bead and the
sash is bridged in one or two
small areas by hardened
paint, this is enough to hold
the window fast. If the
painter attempted to cut
this bridging Of paint before
the surface was thoroughly
hardened, he would mar the
surface. Correcting this con-
6ition Is very easy for you to
do a few days later.
To open these windows.
all you must do in most
cases is to push a thin blade
putty knife into this space
to break the paint that is
holding the window. Run the
blade around all sides of the
window. 1t may be neces-
sary to tap the knife handle
lightly with a hammer to
force 1t into the opening but
never hammer directly on the
sash as this will break the
glass.
The track in which the
sash moves is called the pull
ley stile. This should never
be painted as paint here may
cause the window to bind. A
coat Of linseed oil applied to
the bare wood is a better
treatment. However, most
painters win paint this area
on the theory that it is better
to do so and let you worry
about getting the window
open than to leave it un-
painted and be blamed for
not completing the job.
IF paint on the sash is
making the sash difficult to
operate, first try applying a
lubricant to it. Soap makes a
good lubricant. Candle wax is
also good. Hardware stores
sell a non-oily lubricant
that does a very good job but
don't use grease or oil as this
will give trouble on the next
painting job. If a lubricant
does not help, 1t may be
necessary to remove the paint
with a chemical paint re-
mover.
A window may bind be-
cause the stop bead has been
placed too tight against the
sash. To correct this trouble,
pry of the bead, using a claw
hammer from the inside. BY
this method, If the wood is
marred, it will not show. The
nails will probably come out
with the moulding. If you at
tempt to drive them back
out you will splinter the
wood, so. instead, pull the
nail heads through the wood.
Replace the stop bead in a
position that does not bind
and use new 4-penny casing
nails for attaching. Set the
nail heads slightly below the
surface and I'LL the holes
with putty.
If you can reach the OUT
side of an extremely stubborn
window, it is usually possible
to start it open by driving a
wood wedge between the low
er corners Of the sash and
the sill. Be sure to- have the
wedges far to the sides of the
sash so as not to break the
glass.

Answer-The crack can be

used for other plaster cracks,
but it is generally impossible
to do so in a manner that
will match the swirl pattern.
So repair viii be very visible.

best insulation is in the form
OF long white tubes split
lengthwise. These are fitted
around the pipe and held
closed with an adhesive tape.

Those Termite Pests

Dear Mr.. Baum:
Several years ago termite
exterminators bored many
holes into the sills Of my
house and shot some liquid
into these. Can you tell me
what this liquid was as I
would like to renew the ap-
plication again myself. r.
P. C.
Answer The liquid was
probably a 5 per cent solu-
ton of pentachlorophenol in
petroleum solvent. You can
not apply it yourself since
it must be injected into the
wood under 125 pounds pres
sure. and this requires spe-
cial equipment. In most
cases, applying the poison to
the soil around the founda-
ton walls is much more effec-
tive than treating the wood.

Protecting Fiber Rugs
Dear Mr.. Baum:
II bought some fiber rugs
that became so dirty that I
had to discard them at the
end Of two seasons. Can
anything be applied to pro-
tect new rugs so they will

F. G.
Answer-Some of the bet
ter grade fiber rugs have q
protective coating on them.
If you are buying the other
kind, paint both sides with
clear floor lacquer before put
ting the rugs into service.
These rugs really soak up the
lacquer so that at least a
half gallon will be required
for a .9-by-12 rug.

posed by the Department, the City would pay out construction costs for later reimbursement by the State. This has since been revised with the State providing the funds as needed.
 One of the obstacles that pre- vented an agreement being reached was that of acquiring land for the right of way. The Department of Aviation wanted the City to secure an option on lots 8, 10 and 12 ad- jacent to the airport site. This is no longer required. Negotiations on these lots will be taken up later. Options will be secured or are in process of being secured by Pc land. This will remove the last obstacles from actual construction
