AT WHITE HOUSE
OAR Visit Turned Down

in the state rooms Of their
new home.
The OAR today issued a
statement which, in part,
says:
1T has been correctly re-
ported that delegates to the
10th Continental Congress of
the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution will not enjoy
a tour of the White House
as part of their regular pro-
gram this year.
THE White House has ad-
vised that all afternoon tours
have been discontinued so
that the residence at that
time of day can be used for
business or private family
functions. This is under
stood to be a general policy
which affects all organiza-
tions formerly privileged to
arrange special tours during
their conventions.
1T is easily understood by
the National Society of the
OAR that such an influx of
guests presents a problem for
any public building"
Evening star., 1961-03-01

Daughters have not paid a
visit to the White House dur
ing their spring pilgrimage.
They did not visit there dur
ing war years.
However, according to the
spokesman, this is the first
time as far as l know that
there has ever been a turn
down."
Not Possible
Miss Turnure said this
morning that Mrs. Kennedy
had been approached to re-
ceive them but that that "is
not possible"
She added that they then
were asked for an afternoon
tour of the White House "and
that was not possible either"
The press secretary ex-
planned that the Kennedys
are using the Executive Man
sion as a working White
House" in the afternoons.
The President has had sew
eral working lunches there
already, and Mrs. Kennedy
has also entertained at tea

Sweet words are being
looked for to soften a blow
for members of the Daughters
of, the American Revolution
coming here next month for
their Continental Congress.
There will be no White
House function planned for
them, according to Miss
Pamela Turnure, press Sec
retary to Mrs. Kennedy, and
according to a spokesman for
the OAR.
The printed program for
the Congress is in the process
of being written and will be
sent out to the members.
Announcement
The spokesman for the
organization said today that
they planned to make an an
nouncement to the effect
that there would not be a
White House tour, but added
that they wanted it to be
phraSed in a "dignified way"
with proper explanation so
that no out-of-town member
would vent her wrath on the
White House.
The OAR representative
said she understood that the
Kennedy's prefer to use the
White House in the after
moons for living and office
facilities"
The White House is open
to the public in the mornings,
but it was explained that
the Daughters are busy with
meetings at that time.
White House functions for
the OAR started in the days
of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison,
first president general of the
organization, who enter
tanned them at a White
House reception, according
to the spokesman.
When Mrs. Eisenhower
stopped receiving the group,
she arranged for a special
tour of the Executive Man
sion one afternoon during
the Congress.

Waterproof Paint

In most instances masonry
cellar walls of concrete or
concrete blocks can be made
watertight by applying a ce-
ment waterproofing paint.
This paint can be applied
only to bare masonry and
not over whitewash or other
types of paint now on the
wall.
Instructions must be fol-
lowed to the letter if the
work is to be successful but
this is not difficult. The
masonry must be thoroughly
dampened by spraying with
a fine spray. The paint.

Tips on Fixing
Leoky Cellars
BY HERMAN BAUM
Contributing Writer

We can never think about
the problem of waterproofing
a leaking cellar without re-
calling our experience many
years ago when a realty man
was showing us a house we
were considering buying. Ev-
erything we saw was to our
liking.
The last thing to be seen
was the cellar. The realtor
apologiZed: He couldn't show
us the cellar-there was water
in it. We opened the door
and looked in. Sure enough,
he was right. There it was
right up to the top stair
step.
1t is possible to construct
a cellar that is completely
waterproof regardless of the
terrain. This is not the type
of construction that goes into
a home that you must pay
for out of the weekly pay
check, so you settle for the
bare minimum and adopt an
optimistic attitude.
If water does trickle in,
you can make the necessary
repairs yourself. Only in the
case Of those rare, horrible
examples of bad contraction
where floors and walls crack
wide open is the homeowner
powerless to cope with the sit
uation.
Evening star., 1961-12-02

so as to scrub the paint into
every crevice. A crack or
hole less than "a inch wide
can be sealed with this paint.
Add Second Coot
AS soon as the paint dries
so that it does not rub off.
spray it again with the water.
Twenty-four hours later, wet
the wall again and apply an
other coat of paint in the
same manner. Keep the sur
face damp by spraying it
twice a day for at least a
week.
Two coats are necessary for
positive waterproofing even
though printed instructions
may be to the contrary. The
joint where the floor and
walls meet can be treated
with this paint but do not
apply it to the floor.
Wider cracks in masonry
walls, and especially leaks at
the wall-floor junction, are
best repaired by cutting out
the masonry to a depth of
about l inch. Make these
cuts wider at the bottom than
at the opening so as to lock
in the new cement. Brush
out all dust and dampen the
sides in the opening.
Pack with a mortar COM
posed of one part Portland
cement and two parts fine
clean sand. The mortar must
be wet but not soupy. When
it dries, paint it with the
waterproofing paint. On
concrete block walls where
the cracks occur in mortar
joints, rake out the mortar
to a depth of q inch and
add the fresh mortar.
Leaking concrete floors can
be waterproofed with a thin
layer of special waterproof
ing cement but the applica-
ton Of this material requires
professional experience.

Seed Catalogues


There is something about a
seed catalogue that sets one
to dreaming especially q
flower lover. The inspiring
garden scenes pictured in
gorgeous colors are invariably
NEEDLESS, and the rows are
geomet rically straight. There
are neither stones or clods,
each plant represents a per-
feet specimen of its kind.
The pumpkins are golden,
tomatoes deep scarlet, green
peppers, ruby red beets,
pearly onions and perfect let
tuce. And the roses are just
out of this world! They str
a gardeners imagination and
causes him to resolve that
he too, will have a garden
lust like that this season.
Of course we know deep
down in our hearts that this
resolution will wear thin
when that hot July sun
begins to shine. But how
nice to plan all of this while
sitting in the old Morris chair
on a cold February night, in
front of a good warm fire,
eating oatmeal cookies ana
munching sugared popcorn.
The important thing about
seed catalogues is that they
foster good dreams-and the
good Lord knows, we need
more of them in this world
of chilling night mares.
In just another month ouf
favorite season will be here.
Perhaps we love the sprlre
of the year because we have
grown so old, that only in the
spring time do we have
enough energy and enthusl-
asm to accomplish anything.

are high, we all feel a bit gay
