The base price includes only
the barest essentials and 1t
is. up to you to tailor them
TO suit your needs. Perhaps
some day an enterprising
cabinet manufacturer will
build one with adjustable
shelves, but for the present it
will be necessary for you to
make your own notifications
II you wish to have full util-
:isation of the space.
THE standard cabinet has
three full shelves and this
distance between shelves is
Stust fine for you to stack four
water glasses, one inside the
other. Getting the glasses
apart may be a different
matter. Perhaps it has never
occurred to cabinet makers to
.space the shelves so the
glasses will fit without stack
ing. This. then, is your job.
Careful planning is neces-
sary before you start the
qualifications. You must de-.
termine the shelf space and
the height required for each
item or group that the cup
board viii hold.
For instance, all the din
1ler plates viii go in one stack
and all the saucers in an
other. There will be tall
glasses and short glasses, an
assortment Of platters and
bowls and perhaps some very
tall pitchers and vases. The
more frequently used articles
should 60 on the bottom shelf
and the good china that you
save for company, on the top
shelf.
Part Shelves Help
Try many different ar
rangements until you are sat-
isfied that you have found
the one that gives the best
economy Of shelf space. New
shelves that extend from side
to side are the easiest to in
stall but not always the best.
You can use short shelves
that extend only part of the
distance.
Stacking cups often causes
breakage, so hang them from
hooks. You can purchase an
inexpensive device for cups
that pulls out like a cabinet
drawer for easy access to the
cups.
The original cabinet shelves
are set into grooves at the
ends. The new shelves should
be supported on shelf cleats
which are narrow strips Of
wood about / inch by 2 inches
attached to the sides of the
cabinet with wood screws and
cup washers. The dado and
rabbet joint is best for the
other end of the partial

The HoFd Way
"How can I paint the OUT
side Of second-floo windows?
I do not like working from q
high ladder, so thought you
may know of some other
way" L. c. A. writes.
Answer-You can sit on the
outside Of the window sill
with your legs inside the
room, but this is definitely
not my idea Of a safe way to
do the job. Working from a
ladder is much better, espe-
cially If you rope the ladder
so that it cannot slip.
Stoins Clothes
1.-THE chrome strip along
the edge of my sink rubs
against my clothes and
causes a black stain. I have
put clear nail polish on the
metal and 1t seems to help,
but do you have a better sug-
gestion?" Mrs. C. r. Med.
writes.
Answer-Clear lacquer,
which is practically the same
thing as clear nail polish, Is
usually used to prevent these
stains. The lacquer is less
expensive. particularly since
it will require frequent re-
placement. Unless the ap-
pearance disturbs you, place
a strip Of adhesive tape over
the metal.
Cost Of Experience
"A local roofer installed q
! built-up roof on my house at
a cost of $410 and guaranteed
it for five years. Now, one
year later, it is leaking all
over and the rooter refuses
to do anything about it. Is
there any way to require this
outfit to make good on its
guaranteed" P. ]. D. writes.
Answer-If you have this
guarantee in writing, see your
lawyer; If not, Just consider
that you have bought your
self $410 worth of very valu-
able experience.

Use of chemicals as pesticides by farmers, homeowners and others has posed no serious or permanent threat thus far to Americas wildlife, according to the National Academy of Science. In fact the known impact of pesticide use on wild life has been considerably less than that caused by other everyday activities of man.
 These are the conclusions of two reports issued recently in Washington, DC. by the Aca demy's National Research Council, Committee on Pest Control and Wildlife Relation ships.
 The Academy established the committeee in an effort to de- velop scientific and impartial information on this public is sue that had produced much controversy. Goals were to study the impact of the in creasing use of agricultural chemicals on wildlife and to propose ways to minimize pos sible dangers to Wildlife by such chemicals.
 Wildlife ownership is vested in the State, despite the fact that some Wildlife is now pro- duced and maintained on pri- vately-owned land, some of which is largely agricultural land in nature.
 Pesticides. the Committee notes. are "a modern necessity" in agriculture. forestry, and public health protection. It is important, however, to make every effort to keep wildlife losses to a minimum.
 To prevent misappllcatlon however, the committee urges adequate training for all in- volved in pest control pro- blems. It suggests that operat-

Are laymen meeting
their current challenge.

a work of serious thought and defin-
itely not for light reading.
A chapter like conservatives, Lib
erals, and Catholicism deserves some
very careful scrutiny and thoughtful
reading.
To read this is to see that the au-
thor is much concerned about the fact
that many Catholic laymen are still
hampered by the idea that their re-
ligion is a private affair.
HE is definitely calling for a more
vocal laity. This comes out even more
forcefully in chapter ten, Catholics
in the Community" and chapter four
teen, Catholics in Controversy"
In the former he distinguishes Cath
Ollie action from action by Catholics.
In the latter he decries the fact that
Catholics do not know how to conduct
themselves as a group or as individ-
uals when dealing with non-Cathclics.
The most salient point that he
makes without saying it in so many
words, is this: all Catholics make up
the Mystical Body of Christ, the
Church. They must all, therefore,
identify themselves with it in all their
activities.-Reviewed by FIR. c. Nj.

leaves in melted paraffin,
b. several older boys are playing
football, and,
C. the younger children have set
up castles among the paraffin drips

a vigor worthy of Richard the Lion

Well, faint heart never won fair

In approximately half an hour, the
kitchen will have cleared somewhat,

THE ONLY defiant note is struck

Eventually, you can plainly see
that this is not exactly what Pasteur

THE ROLE OF THE CATHOLIC
TtYMAN IN AMERICA by Donald
j Thorman. Doubleday and Com
ponv, Irc,, Garden City, New York,
1862, So IS; PIP. 1872.
About a hundred years ago a Catho-
lie journalist, Orestes Brownson,
was speaking out defending the posi-
ton of the Catholic layman.
Today another journalist, he too a
Catholic, speaks out to say that the
layman in this country has a definite
role to play in the Catholic Church.
His theme can be stated in words
that he quotes from a priest writing
on the same subject: namely, 1T is
the good health of Holy Mother
Church herself that demands the lay
man to be active"
THE JOURNALIST Donald j.
Thorman calls his book ''The Emerg-
ing Layman: The Role of the Catholic
Layrnan in America"
This book makes no claim to be a
complete theology of the lay apostle

INQUIRY CORNER
Should you continue

@. / promised to pray the Rosary
every day in October but sometimes
it is late at night and I'm sleepy and
distracted. Would it be better to skip
it rather than say it badly?
A. 1t is unfortunate that we cannot
give the same continuing attention to
prayer that we give to someone or
something in which we are deeply in
terested leg. a young couple in love
seldom lose interest in each other on

Nevertheless God realizes that we
are not able to avoid all distractions.
What is wrong - and ever sinful
are deliberate or wilful distractions.
Since you made a promise you should
keep it and simply try to avoid dis
fractions.
God will be pleased (and in this
case Our Lady will be too) at your
honest effort and your good inten-
ton.
@. I heard somewhere that Chris
tians constitute only about five per
cent of the worlds population. Is that
true?
A. No. The World Almanac of 1862
lists 888, 803,026 Christians in a world
population of 2,862,213,000 - closer
