Oldsters Proudly Display
Their HandilvOrk At ShOlv

Society "a display of clothing
for Junior Village which looked
to be beyond hope of repair.
This Senior Citizens Group has
as a major project the mending
of clothing for Junior Village,
and in some cases "mending"
means almost complete recon-
struction of an article.
The Society started this prof.
ect with a box of clothing
marked "194S- for mending"-
they are now working box
"1956-for mending." The So
ciety, which may be reached
through MIR. Charles Opel, pres
ident, needs any materials for
mending which can be spared
from patching scraps to bind
ing, buttons, snaps and hooks
and eyes.

Helpful Suggestions
For Selling a Home
By RoUTH M. ROBBINS
President, Northern Virginia Boord of ReoItoY

People sometimes try to sell
their own home because they
think they can make, or save,
some money. Unfortunately,
they seldom do. AS a matter
of fact, in many cases where
they fail to list it initially with
a realtor, they not only lose
money, but the house remains
unsold for months with all the
consequent Inconvenience and
worry.
The experience of ''Mr. x"
whose do-it-yourSelf selling
turned into a fiasco is typical.
Like many home owners, Mr..
X had put thousands Of dollars
into his house plus a lot of
hard work and personel effort,
in such things as landscaping.
cabinetwork, wall paneling
and other improvements. He
ad friends who purchased a
home right after World War
II and a few years later sold
it for a handsome profit.
Mr.. x tried the same thing,
starting with his purhcaSe
price and adding what he esti-
mated he had spent over the
years and adding a couple
thousan d more for "infla-
tion."
This was his first mistake
he didn't know the market.
A realtor does. He knows
the market because he is a
professional posted on the ac-
tual day-to-day sales in the
area. He knows the fIuctuat-
ing d e m a n d, the changing
supply Of houses offered, the
varying mortgage loan situa-
tion, highways or shopping
center plans and other factors
which influence the sale of
homes.
Had Mr.. K listed his home
with a realtor he would have
been told at the outset that
the price he had in mind was
more than the market could
bear and that all he had to do
was walk three blocks away
to find larger and better
h ON e s with more features
selling for less.
The realtor knows that Mr..
KS friends were able to sell
their homes at a handsome
profit shortly after World War
II because a pent-up demand
for houses existed which, in
many areas, has now subsid-
ed. The realtor always knows
how the law of supply and de-
mand affe cts a particular
house in a particular neigh
borhood.
Mr.. X didn't see all these
factors and couldn't under
stand why he wasn't able to

in this attic. My question is,
do l need an exhaust fan be-
hind one of these louvers?"
B.W.G.
Answer - The one fan is
sufficient but the unobstruct-
ed opening in the two lowers
must be at least equal to the
area covered by the 3O-inch
fan. This area is approximate
ly 700 square inches and this
must not be obstructed by the
stats of the lowers or by the
screen wire over the opening.
An opening half again this
large is preferable.
To Paint Concrete
"Three months after my
concrete cellar floor was fin
ished, painted it with a wat
er emulsion plastic paint. It
Immediately peeled off. The
paint store gave me a solution
to apply to the concrete and
then sold me some porch and
deck enamel to use. This gets
sticky and comes off on shoes.
What do / do now?"
L.F.C.
Answer - A concrete floor
should not be painted until it
is a year old. Occasionally
good results can be had ear
lier by applying a solution
made by dissolving three
pounds Of zinc sulphate to a
gallon Of water. This should
be given three weeks to dry,
then the floor should be paint
ed with a chlorinated rubber
base paint. The paint that you
used is never satisfactory on
a floor below ground level and
it must all be removed before
other paint is applied.
