"A block developer" scheme
being favored by the Districts {
urban renewal agency has run
into some opposition from wa
terfront displacees,
Under the favored scheme
a number of corporations
would handle six big chunks
Of Southwest waterfront re-
construction instead Of indi-
vidual firms undertaking to
build their own facilities.
Details Of the plan were dis
closed yesterday at a hearing
in which several Maine avenue
business displacees said they
you'd not waive individual pri-
ority rights to such corpora
tions.
Allan A. Merine, operator OF
the New England Raw Bar

the now-demoliShed Municipal
Fish Market-said he withdrew
from such a corporation rather
than sign q waiver.

=, Fears Loss of Rights
y He indicated he believed pri-
ority holders were being shunt-
lea to less favorable locations
50 that new businesses could be
accommodated.
"I am apprehensive that we
might be offered sites not
economically feasible to accept,
and that we might be forced
in some manner to lose our
statutory rights" he said.
Others who indicated they
would not waive individual
prority rights were Mrs. Cy Ellis
Of the displaced Cy Ellis Res
taurant, and Matthew ZuppaS
of the Potomac Seafood Res
taurant, likewise q diSplacee
James A. Gregory. who said he
operated the waterfront's Oldest
marine repair facility, also said
he wanted to build his own
place of business.

Although the judges have
disposed Of several old adult
cases, never-ending new cases
occupy most of their time. In
the last three months, 447
more cases were filed than
during the previous quarter.
I'm spite OF this, the Juvenile
backlog has increased only by
49," said Judge Miller.
One reason for the increase
OF cases. Judge Miller said. Is
that police are referring many
more first time offenders than
they did previously.
The court has recently set up
a process of reviewing old juve-
nile cases, aimed at automatic
dismissal Of many Of these past
cases.
IF the offense is minor
enough, there are no new COM
plants, and the report from
the family, probation officer
and school is good, we'll prob
ably dismiss the case" said
Judge Miller.
Old Case In Reserve
Remember II there were any
additional complaints, under
the current procedure a child
would have come before the
court and his old case would
have been brought UP with him.
The fact the old case still
exists means the particular
child hasn't been a problem
since the first offense."
One way the three judges
handle new cases is TO hold
daily detention hearings. pre-
viously reviewed by the proba-
ton department. These hear
ings are TO determine whether
a child picked up on a charge
should stay In Receiving Home.

Cleaning Brushes Worth Effort

house, you have a pinball
machine. The real trouble is
that the circuits are over
loaded. This is not dangerous
but 1t is annoying. The re-
corderS only indicate the
voltage being supplied by the
power company, but not the
conditions inside your house.
Electricity flowing through
a wire is very much like water
flowing through a pipe. 1t the
shower is being used and
someone turns on a faucet
in the kitchen, the shower
taker is either frozen or
scalded.
The same thing is happen
ing in those wires. 1t requires
much more current to start
a motor than 1t does to keep
it running. When the motor
starts the lights and tele-
vision are momentarily
starved until the motor gets
up to full speed.
To Dull Vornish
Can you tell me what I
can add to varnish to get a
real dull finish? This is for
tolework on wood and metal"
Mrs. A. K.
Answer: I do not know of
anything that can be added
to varnish but you can get
this effect by rubbing the
surface with a soft damp
cloth sprinkled with grade
FFF powdered pumice. The
varnish must be dry and
hard before this is done.
Gathering Moss
Part of the asphalt shin
gled roof of my house lies
in the shade of a large elm
tree. This area has a large
accumulation Of moss on it.
Is this harmful to the roof
and, if so, what can I do
about it?"-C. d. c.
Answer: The moss is not
particularly harmful to the
roof. However. you can re-
move it by sprinkling it with
solution of four ounces Of
copper sulphate dissolved in
five gallons of water. This
will kill the moss and 1t will
dry up and be carried away
by rain. Do not allow this
solution to drip down on
shrubbery as it can be very
damaging.

Among the do-it-yourself
cult of house painters, there
are two distinct classes.
First of these is the rank
amateur who knows nothing
OF the art and cares less. He
buys the cheapest paint
available and his brushes are
of equal quality. He usually
paints because that is the
easiest way to avoid a fam
lily feud in which he always
comes out second best.
The second class has an
artistic approach. He redec-
crates his home because it is
his pride and not from fear
Of having a skillet bounced
off his Uranium. He buys
quality paints and brushes
because he knows that this
is the only way to obtain
results that will please him.

hands is the best way to re-
move the softened paint and
solvent from the briStles.
The third change of solvent
should be almost clear, indi-
eating that all of the paint
has been removed.
Wcsh and Rinse
The next step is to wash
the brush thoroughly. Dis
solve a mild laundry deter.
gent In a pail of warm water
and thoroughly wash the
bristles, paying particular at
tention to the heel of the
brush. Rinse in clean water
and then carefully wrap the
bristles in heavy brown
paper to preserve their shape
while they dry. Always store
the brush in a flat position.
1t is possible to bend bris-
ties so far that they are not
straight when released. Take
care not to do this when
cleaning.
Store the used solvent in
the covered can. In a few
days, the paint will settle to
the bottom and the solvent
can be used several times be-
fore being discarded.
