to use to c'ean it and then
finish the wood.
Answer: To clean the wood
use fine steel wool and
turpen;ine. If you wish a
natural color; then finish
with two thin coats of pure,
fresh white shellac (thinned
half-and-half with denatured
alcohol, or varnish, or wax
finish whichever preferred.
Or the wood surface, after
thin coating of shellac, can
be finished with good quality
enamel or flat paint (if pre-
ferred; personally, I consider
natural cypress too hand
some to hide).
Spraying Chrome
Question: I am thinking
of spraying a bronze or
black paint on a chrome
kitchen set. Is it possible to
paint chrome? If so, what
preparation is necessary?
Answer: Chrome can be
painted. Any protective coat
ing on the metal must first
be removed, however, and the
surface must be absolutely
clean and free of any trace
of grease, wax, CRIME, etc.;
roughen the surface slightly,
for better paint adhesion, by
rubbing with fine steel wool
and turpentine. Be sure to
follow manufacturers in
structions carefully on the
paint can as to undercoater,
etc.
Sove Leftover
Further related item: If
you've mixed the paint your
self Cor supervised its mix
ing), never, but never, throw
out any that's left over!
Treasure it. Store it like
the family jewels, so therell
be some left over for future
touch-upS.
It's just about inevitable
that sooner or la ter some
thing will scratch or gouge
or chip a painted wall. When
that happens, you'll bless
your foresight in saving a
tightly sealed and labeled can
or bottle of the original
shade!
Precisely the same idea lies
behind saving scraps of left

Good Drainage
Protects Walks
BY ROGER c. WHITMAN
Contributing Writer

Question: We have in
stalled several hundred
square feet of Tennessee"
flagstone. The stone is very
attractiely colored and
formed, but quite soft; more
vivid when wet or damp. We
used about two and a half
to three and a half inches
OF waterproofed cement for
the bedding and joints. We
would like to waterproof the
porous sandstone so that
winter froSts do not pene-
trate either the stone or the
joints and tear it up. What
clear solution shall we use?
Answer: Tearing up" of
the cement joints will usually
be due to improper drainage
underneath, causing the
earth to heave, as a result
of freezing and thawing of
water collecting underneath.
If you have proper drain
age, and proper packing of
the area under the flagstone,
and expansion joints to take
up expansion and contrac-
ton, you have no cause for
worry. If you wish to water
proof the stone, apply a
transparent liquid masonry
waterproofer.
Squeaky FIoorboords
Question: We have an older
house, without subfloors, and
have been noticing several
squeaky boards on the first
floor. Is there any way we
can remedy this, without
going D the great expense
CT putting a new floor down
over our hardwood floors?
Answer: Yes. Squeaking is
usually due merely to the
rubbing of one board against
the next as weight is ap-
piled and removed. Sitting
talcum powder or powdered
graphite or a nonoily lubri-
cant into the joint is fire.
quently an effective remedy.
If this doesn't eliminate the
squeaking, it may be due to
nails holding the boards to
the beams having loosened.
While you are in the base
ment, where you can reach
the underside of the floor,
have someone upstairs walk
across the creaking place,
then drive a narrow wedge
between the noisy place in
the floor and the beam to
close the gap.
Croyon on Sidewalk
Question: What is an eff
fective way to remove
crayon which has melted on
a concrete sidewalk?
Answer: Remove as much
of the crayon deposit as pos
Sible with fine steel wool.
Then cover the affected area
with a thick paste of
powdered chalk or other alb
sorbing powder and a nom
flammable liquid spot re-
mover, placing a sheet of
thin plastic or metal over
this to retard evaporation.
When dry, replace with
fresh paste, continuing treat
ment until crayon has been
drawn out of concrete.
Removing Tile Adhesive
Question: Is there any
easy way to remove the paste
from the back of used bath
room tile? We soak them in
water; some clean easily, but
some are stubborn. We
scrape and scratch at them,
We want to use the tile
again.
Answer: Try using naphtha
as a solvent on the stub
born adhesive; but be care
full to leave it on only long
enough to soften the paste
and not the tile. Or, try
sanding the paste off with
an electric sander.

Names SGA
Officials

The Student Government AS
ISOLATION held its first meeting
last week. The representative
assembly accepted the appoint
ments for parliamentarian and
standing committee chairmen.
The appointments are Archie
Wright, parliamentarian; Deb
bic Goldin, Hospitality commit
tee; Holly Vincent, Publicity;
and Paul Phelps, Athletics.
The executive committee of
the organization has been busy
with various functions such as
attending the regional meeting,
setting up standing committees,
arranging for the SGA room,
helping at the back-to-school
night, and attending the Mary
land Association Of Student
Councils convention.
A special subcommittee, cul-
tural educational activities
(CEAC), headed by Sue Reiken,
is trying to obtain tickets for
concerts, movies, and plays at
reduced rates for students.
ATS (American Field Serv-
ice), a subcommittee of the hos
pitality committee, has been
formed to try to arrange for an
ATS student at Whitman next
year.
Several dances have been
planned for Whitman within the
next two months. The first will
be a record hop to be held after
a pep rally Friday. On Nov. 16
there will be an all-school dedi.
cation dance, and on Dec. 81, a
Christmas dance. There has
been discussion of a possible
inter-school dance with Walter
Johnson.
Many new clubs and activities
are being organized. After stiff
competition among 80 girls, six
majorettes were chosen. Karen
Thompson, Cherie Green, Nancy
Payne, Randa Campbell, Margo

are the majorettes.
Fifteen new Keyettes were Sc

include unifying their class and

might be the first sophomore

The 1861 task force electrified
the Chamber by bringing in more
new members than had been gar
nered in the previous seven years
combined. II was a grand total of

roster by nearly Is per cent. No
