New Trend Seen In
Vacation Habits

Officials at the various Informa-
ton Centers in Ocean City, Mary
land have been noting a new trend
in the vacation habits of many yisi-
tors to this Maryland resort.
In recent years the number of
inquiries seeking information o II
early and late season reservations
has been on the increase and this
season is apparently no exception.
While the bulk of the summer
trade will continue to he during
the months of July and August, an
ever increasing number of vacation
ers are by-passing the two peak
months for the less hectic life of
a so called off-season holiday.
Starting about the first of April
summer visitors begin to trickle in
for their annual two week vaca-
tions. The month of May, once con-
sidered a so so month by local
businessmen, has doomed into a
comparatively busy month. June
has been raised almost into the
category of the peak July and Aug
Gst months.
Years ago the summer season
once ended after the Labor Day
holiday, but not so today. Sept
ember and October are busy vaea-
ton months at this popular Allan
tic ocean resort. Restaurant own
ers were quick to become aware
of the new vacation habits Of The
pleasure-minded public. Once salts
fled to hire walters and mattresses
from the giant pool of college stu
dents seeking summr work. the
restaurant operators soon found
they were woefully undermanne6
when the student returned to col
lege. In recent years they began tC
carefully hire employees combining
the right mixture of college stu
dents and other employees who
could stay on duty until the enc
of October.
Alert city officials were well g.
ware of the extended season and
began hiring lifeguard crews earl.

Just why the vacationing public
has suddenly turned to the early
and late summer months for their
vacation is something only they
can answer. Local resident h e

of the entire summer. In fact, years

Biologist VS.. Blackbird

All across the United States a
small but dedicated band of biolo-
gists in the Branch of Wildlife Re-
search, US. Department of Interior,
are waging a war against black
birds. 1t is a battle of science a
gainst crop damage.
Among these scientists is Allen
r. Stickley, Jr., a new member of
the Blackbird Control Project at
the University of Delaware. He
will join John It. Linehan, biolo-
gist with the U.S.DI., stationed at
the University, in developing a
means of producing damage-free
crops through resistant strains &
cultural methods.
AS yet, there is no easy method
of defeating the backbirds but
Linehan and Stickley have found
that a definite relationship exists
between corn varieties and black
bird damage. Some of the practices
they are testing include repellent
chemicals, scare devices such as
exploders and rope fire crackers
habitat control, and reduction OF
population by various methods.
Stickley came to the school OF
agriculture by way of the Virginia
Commission of Game and Inland
Fisheries where he had worked
since 1857. One of his more in
teresting research. projects was
trapping and tagging black bears
to increase game management in
formation about the animal.
Stickley is an Air Force veteran.
He entered George Washington
University after discharge from
the service and received his
bachelors degree there in 1855. He
obtained his masters degree al
Virginia Polytechnic Institute in
1858.
He is married and lives in New
ark.

Wox Floor Stain
QuestiOn-Our daughters
bedroom floor was finished
with a penetrating wax stain
several years ago. Now she
wants to redecorate her room
herself, and prefers a painted
floor. Must the wax stain be
removed first?
AnSwer-Just remove the
surface wax, using a good
quality wax remover, follow
ing label instructions, or
fine steel wool and turpen-
tine. Before paint is applied,
be sure the floor surface is
thoroughly dry and clean and
free Of any trace Of CRIME,

Miniature Lowers
@. Where can we purchase
the small, round, miniature
louvers? We have a roof
overhang that becomes quite
damp and we want to install
the lowers TO provide better
ventilation in this area.
A. Building supplies deal
erS and large hardware stores
usually have these, or can get
them for you. These little

Walls crumbIins
QuestiOn-We are trying to
brighten up the cellar Of our
old house to use as a family
room. and plan to paint the
brick walls. The brick is not
a hard brick and has be-
gun to crumble off in sew
eral places because of mois-
ture seeping through; some
times there's a white deposit
in some areas. What prep
aration do the bricks need
to be sure the paint doesn't
peel off soon?
Answer TO remove the
white deposit. use a cleaning
and etching liquid for ma
sonry and concrete, available
at masonry supplies dealers

If not. badly disintegrated
brick should be replaced with
hard-burned brick and any
cracked or loose mortar re-
placed with latex patching

Leof Burner

Two models of portable
leaf burners recently have
been introduced. These are
flare designed for better
combustion and this feature
plus a draft opening at the
bottom gives flue acion for
safe burning with a mini
mum of smoke.
The hinged top grill opens
easily for loading. Closed, it
keeps leaves and papers from
blowing out. Made of sturdy
aluminum-clad steel, it re-
sistS rust.
The burners tilt slightly
as they are moved about so
that ashes fall from the draft
opening onto the lawn and
serve as fertilizer. The burn
ers have easy-rolling wheels.
The units are available in
three and four bushel capaci-
ties.

step necessary? The floor is
okay, but on the side there
are hairlineS.

all trace Of grease, SCOT,
CRIME, etc.; or use a masonry

aration available at masonry

Then apply a good quality
rubber base deck paint. Paint
will fill hairline cracks; any
wider cracks should first be
filled with patching concrete
before applying paint. The
latex patching concrete Is
less time-coSuming than reg
ular patching mortar.
Brick Walk
@. Some time ago you had
an item for laying a brick
walk without having to mix
concrete for it. Could you re-
peat this? I find mislaid the
issue in which it appeared.
A. The following method Of
putting brick down in sand
has been found highly salts
factory: Excavate the walk
area about 8-l2 inches deep
and fill with clean sand near
ly to the top.
Put down the bricks in the
desired pattern. Then pour
dry Portland cement in the
spaces between bricks, level
with the surface and sweep
off any excess.
Set a garden sprinkler to
finest mist and let it play
over the bricks for several
hours. The cement will auto
matically be activated and be
soaked into the sand founda-
tion. Keep the area damp for
at least a week so that the
concrete cures slowly.

towel bars in the bathroom.

A new two-way paint shield
and pad now available serves
as a painting tool and pro-
tective shield at the same
time. This combination unit
eliminates the need for mask
ing and allows neat paint
ing around windows, light
switches and carpet lines and
in corners that can't be
reached with a roller, the
maker claims.
Because the pad section
of this is bristleless, it won't
throw paint. This does away
with speckling of paint on
glass.
The user simply dips the
pad in the paint and con-
facts the surface to be
painted with the flexible
plastic shield. Then he
spreads the paint by sliding
the unit in either direction.
Putty Torch
Next time you start to re-
place putty on the house
windows, think of this new
electric putty torch engi-
neered to cut glazing time
and lessen the cost and work
effort of melting and remov-
ing old, hard putty.
The tubular heating ele-
ment of the putty torch con-
sumeS only 350-watts so it
can be used all day without
over-heating. The use of the
"a gauge steel in the unit
allows rapid and even reflec-

it would put the three impor-

stop the referendum, it likewise
would not stop the enforcement
of the bills. The laws would be
effective until the vote of the

course, if the people voted
against tine measures the laws
would be declared null and void.
