Yankees Give
Houk $4,000
2-Year Pact
Louis Arroyo Gets
$4,000 Bonus for
Work in 1861

NEW YORK, Oct. IL (AP).-
The New York Yankees. hap
PLY paying the price Of their
18th World Series champion
ship. signed Manager Ralph
Houk to q two-year contract
today at an estimated $40, 900
a season.
The champions, who set the
trend yesterday by handing
Relief Pitcher Luis Arroyo a
bonus, reported at $1,000 for
his performance during the
1861 season, announced the
Houk signing at a press con-
ference.
I'VE felt sure a year ago that
Ralph was the man for the
Yankees future" said General
Manager Roy Hamey, and now
we are sure Of it."
The 42-year-old ex-major Is
anxious to get started on a no.
telephone fishing junket to
Florida. and Yankee General
Manager Roy Hamey indicated
the club is Just as anxious to
get him under contract before
he heads South.
Third Freshman to Win Series
Houk signed a one-year con-
tract for about $4,000 when
he succeeded Casey Stengel as
manager last fall. That he'll
be back in charge next year
and probably 1863 as we'll has
been taken for granted. He is
the third freshman manager in
baseball history to win a World
Series.
He did a great Job" Hamey
said at the Yankee victory din
ner Tuesday night. When you
consider the spot he was on,
following Stengel. you'd nave to
say Ralph did an exceptional
Job.
He had the respect Of his
players all the way, and per-
sonally, I never worked with a
better man in all my years. We
didn't have q single difference. 81
The bonus to Arroyo, who
made IS relief appearances, had
a 1875 record, saved 19 other
games, won the fourth game Of
the series and spent all season
as Whitley Ford's second wind,
was unprecedented for the
Yankees.
First Full Season
Il called in Luis before he
left for his home in Puerto
Rico" Hamey said. land told
him we had something for him
in recognition Of his exceptional
year. I had told him in July
we'd get together after the sea-
SON."
This was the first full season
in a Yankee uniform for the 49,
year-old lefthander.
Signed to a $500 contract.
he was boosted to Sill. 900 for
1861, and the bonus. Hamey
said. was by way Of adjusting"
his relatively low salary. With
his forthcoming World Series
cut of about $1,000, Arroyo will
wind up with about $24.0 900 for
the past season and. Of
course. prospects for consider
ably more next year.

with an adhesive; it is usually
a thin layer of wood. The
materials you used are ef-
fective for removing various
kinds of paint coatings.
The veneer glue can usually
be softened by soaking; try
the edge of the veneer; as
it 'loosens, pry it up with a
putty knife or screw driver,
and continue the Steaming

Any particles of glue remain

Pointing Shingles
Question - I purchased a
shake shingle house in 1858.
1t needed painting in 1858
and I gave it two coats of
paint primer and finish coat
of the best quality I could
buy. The shingles in 1858
looked as though they had
never been painted; the
house built in 1947. The
neighbors say the shingles
were stained at. the time the
house was built.

Snow Sticks to Shovel
Question: Is there any way
to prevent snow sticking to
a shovel?
Answer: An all-purpose,
dry lubricant, in aerosol
form, is now widely available
at service stations, auto sup
ply and hardware stores.
This can be used to prevent
snow, mud, grass, etc., from
sticking to shovels and gar
den equipment. Shellac or
paraffin, even melted candle
wax, also is pretty good.

discoloration; this may be
impossible to remove. Try ap-
plying a household bleach to
the diScoloration, followed by
thorough rinsing to remove
all trace of bleach. If unsuc-
ceSsful, try touching up with
appliance touch up sticks"
available at many hardware
and variety stores, or with
enamel made for this type of
repair.
Paint PeeIs on Trim
QuestiOn-We have to re-
paint the trim on our brick
house every year. The house is
about 10 years old; we pur- :
chased it six years ago. We
have a dry, finished base
ment, no leaks in the roof,
no seepage through the walls.
Can you suggest a way to
remedy this?
Answer The usual cause
of peeling paint is moisture
working its way through from
underneath and pushing the
window Hastings may be
faulty, the trim may not be
tightly Joined to the brick,
or the joints of the frames
themselves may have loos-
ened. All these points should
be checked and any openings,
no matter how small, tightly
caulked, using a caulking
compound and caulking gun.
Marks on VoFnish
QuestiOn-How can / take
dark marks out of var
niShed oak flooring caused by
wet diapers placed on throw
rugs? The spots seem to be
getting darker. How can I
remove these spots without
redoing the entire two
rooms?
Answer-Remove the var
nish over the dark areas,
with an electric sander or
with paste type paint re-
mover, following label direc-
tions carefully. If the stains
have penetrated into the
wood, apply a prepared wood
bleach to the spots, according
to manufacturers instruc-
tionS.
If bleached wood is too light
for rest of floor, stain with
matching wood stain. Sand
smooth and wipe off dust.
Touch up with varniSh, using
small brush, and feathering
out edges toward untouched
up areas.
Removing Veneer
Question: have an old
table of solid maple, covered
with veneer. I have tried to
remove this with varnish
remover and paint remover
and without success. Can you
give me any suggestions as to
how to remove the veneer?
Answer-Veneer is applied

Now there are spots show
ing up through the two coats
of paint; the paint dealer
says the shingles must have
been dipped in a creosote So
luton originally which is be-
ginning to show through. 1t
looks bad. How can I repaint
the house so the stains won't
show through?
AnSwer-It is almost inpos-
Sible to paint over creoSoted
surfaces; although, some
times a coat of exterior alu-
minum paint will prevent the
blee ding G through of the
stain. 1t might be worth try
ing this method. being sure
the aluminium coating is
thoroughly dry before apply
ing the finish coats. Other
wise, the present paint will
have to be removed very
difficulty and the shingles
restained.

Question: have bought a
heavy, well = seasoned plank
of lumber to use as a scaffold
when painting my house
soon. Is there any treatment
to be used to prevent the
wood from warping?
Answer Moisture abSorp-
ton by wood causes warping.
Using well-Seasoned dry lum-
ber, free of knots and splits,
and storing it in a dry, we'll
ventilated place should keep
it from warping or twisting.
No other treatment is neceS-
sary, especially with plank of
such obvious thickness.
Worn Umbrella
QuestiOn-The umbrella we
use over a table on our ter
race has finally become very
worn and requires replace
ment. The frame is still in
excellent condition. Is it pos
sible to get a new top for
this?
Answer-YeS. The dealer
from whom it was purchased
may have replacement COW
ers, or your local a wning g
dealer may be able to make
one. Or consult your CLASH
fled telephone directory under
Canvas Produtcs."
Tar or Aluminium
Question-We have alumni
mum siding. We had a new
roof put on and the old one
removed; in doing this, tar
got on the siding. How can
the siding be cleaned without
scratching it up?
Answer-Cleaning prepara-
tions for removing tar from
tires, ETC., are now available
at some large housewares,
hardware and auto accesso-
ries dealers; follow label di-
rections carefully.
Or remove as much of the
tar as possible by hardening
it with ice, then Scraping off
with a flat stick of wood. To
remove any residue of tar,
soften with kerosene, then
rub carefully with fine steel
wool. Don't guarantee 100
per cent results but expert
ences of others make this
well worth trying.
DiseoIored Finish
Question: hanger, with a
rubber suction cup, for hold
ing pot holders was left on
the side of my refrigerator
for a long time, causing a
dark discoloration in the
finish. How can this area
be restored to being white
again? Washing with soaps
and detergents hasn't done
any good.

been a chemical action be-
tween the rubber and the re-
frigerator finish, causing the

him back to Germany where
he should be tried and pun
ished. Abbot Rudolf admits
that according to human JUS
tice, Eichmann deserves the
death penalty. Yet he feels
that Israel would stir the
world in a very beneficial
way if some solution other
than the death penalty were
found.
THE PROTESTANT LEAD
Frs interviewed varied in
their views of appropriate
punishment. The Pentecostal
William Hull said nothing
short of the death penalty
could be justified but Presby-
terian Tom Gibson hoped that
mercy" would be shown. IF
this will be done, it will pre-
vent anyone from charging
The Jewish people with being
vengeful and may prevent any

Israeli Christians seem to
agree that the Eichmann trial
is a challenge to the Christian
conscience.

Father Steinmann is a cur

that he studied under the Sui

train priests, but never enter

EDITOR.
In riffling through some
old Catholic Disests, / came
across the following in the
article High Adventure,
clustered" in the June, 1860
issue"
80. To-day, the climax of the
week at L'Hay-les-Roses is the
High Mass on Sunday. The al
tar faces the congregation.
The people sing the Mass.
They don't sing hymns; they
sing the Mass itself not in
Latin but in French. so they
know what they are saying.
(Gregorian chant was aban-
doned for more modern mu-
sic which is more easily re-
membered.)"
COULDN'T his NE HOQ
of singing Mass be adopted in
this country? Many of us had
Latin in High School but it
has long since become a mem
DRY. Too, a great many have
not had even that smattering
acquaintance.
/ am just curious as to why
a so-called Catholic country as
France, using a Romance Ian

mitted to adapt the liturgy
