This Is one article that I
have been sidestepping for
Q long time. After all. there
must be some building or
maintenance work that the
experienced journeyman can
do better than the novice.
There are those Jobs where
time and patient effort count
more than skill. but floor
sanding results are deter.
mined entirely by the skill
Of the operator.
So many readers have re-
Gently requested this infor-
nation that I feel compelled
to offer O few suggestions and
spotlight the pitfalls 30 that
floors may not be completely
wrecked.
Floor finishing requires the
use Of two pieces Of power
equipment that can be rented
from many hardware stores.
You will need Q sander and
an edger. You also will need
o hand scraper that you
sho0ld buy.
Since rented machines are
used principally by inexperi-
enced operators. they suffer
much abuse and are fire.

ing-that narrow strip be-
tween the Dashboard and the
fioor-should be removed. It
Is easy to replace.
If your floor IL uneven,
with ridges pushed up where
boards meet. the first sanding
operation should be done
diagonally, starting in one
corner. An open coat coarse
paper. Sh (20) Is used for
this first pass. It's purpose
Is not only to remove the
ridges but also to take OF
old varnish or shellac. These
materials will quickly clog Q
closed coat paper to make
1t useless. Do no more sanding
with this grade paper than II
necessary, since it will leave
scratches that must be re-
moved by more sanding.

you must also use this same
grade paper for the first cut
in the direction Of the floor
boards. For the next oper-
alton use Ia (40) closed coat
paper and finally finish the
floor with 40 (100) paper.
All sanding except . few
passes Of the first cut must
be done int he direction Of
the floor boards.
The most important detail
Of handling Q sanding ma
chine Is never to allow the
sanding drum to come into
contact with the floor unless
the machine Is in motion. In
other words, start the ma
chine forward and sthen
gradually lower the drum to
the floor. AS you approach

Not for Kitchens
"Is it advisable to use
acoustic tile on the ceiling of
o kitchen?" F. F. writes.
Answer-There would be
some advantage. in that 1t
would reduce the noise when
your wife drops the dishes.
But disadvantages outweigh
this. The texture Of the sur
face Is such that grease from
cooking smoke will soak in
and cannot be removed.

will cut deep ridges in the
floor and these viii be i'm
possible to remove.
The large sanding machine
will not reach the floor
boards close to the walls.
The edger Is used to sand
these areas. Use coarse grit
paper sparingly in this ma
chine. since the circular mo-
ton Of the sanding disc will
leave scratches difficult to
remove. The hand scraper is
used In corners that cannot
be reached with either elec-
trio machine.

Dog Vaccine

The board left unchanged the
four-month age limitation in its
dog rabies ordinance, after dis
cussing the question, raised by
some citizens. that the vaccine is
not effective in dogs that young.
The board based its hold-firm
opinion on word from the chief
of the Veterinary Public Health
Section of the State Health De
partment. DR.. Martin B. Marx
informed the board, through DR..
F.. j. Clements. county health di-
rector, that "intramuscular in
lection of LEP. Furry chicken
embryo vaccine in dogs three
months or older produces excel
lent immunity which lasts three
years" The vaccine referred to
is the kind used in the clinics
here.
In their decision approving
funds for an assistant agent, the
supervisors pointed out that vo-
cational agriculture is not Of
fered in schools here, and that
an active All Club program can
help to compensate for this alb
Sence. They also considered the

apment and the All programs

ing rural leadership and citizen

Board members also con-
sidered it advisable to relieve
the county agent and home
agent of this work to give them
