B.C. 15 7c per copy—$2.50 yearly THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1958 Small Uier Not Affected BX. Electric Applies For Rate Increase BTC. Electric applied for general electric rate increases Wednesday that would raise its electric revenues by approximately 12 per cent. Dal Grauer, B. C. E. president, said "this is only the second general rate increase in the company's history (the 1st being during the Korean War inflation of 1051-52) as compared wilh numerous decreases throughout our history." He said the proposed rule changes would increase the average bill for residential customers by three to four cents per day. Small consumers with bills totalling $3 or less would not be affected, he said. "Rates for commercial and small industrial customers would be increased by 5 to 10 per cent on the Mainland, and by approximately 7 per cent on Vancouver Island south," he added. "Rates for large industrial consumers, who pay much less per kilowatt hour, would face larger increases." Mr. Grauer said the application placed before the Public Utilities Commission Wednesday resulted from increasing costs which have accumulated over a number of years. Since then, Mr. Grauer explained, the company has faced a heavy expansion program to keep power production in step with requirements which 1950. Construction costs have risen sharply during that period, while tho company's rate of earnings has declined steadily during the past three years, he said. The Public Utilities Commission, Mr. Grauer stated, has established that a "fair and reasonable" earnings rate based on the cost of service facilities was B'A per cent. Actual rate of earnings," he said, "has fallen from 6.1 per cent in 1955 to 5.9 per cent In 1950, and about 5 per cent in 1057—and the downward trend is continuing in 1958. "In 1958 to 1960 inclusive, t h e company must borrow about $270,000,000," he added. "Of this more than $190,000,- 000 will be required for expansion of electric service." "Despite the fact we have faced a formidable burden of rising costs, the average price per kilowatt hour of electricity for residential customers has declined." "The proposed increases," he explained, "would leave the average price per kilowatt hour paid by householders be low the 1952 level." "If the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island south are to continue to grow," he stated, "abundant power must be available," "And our rate of earnings must be adequate to attract have more than doubled since 11 h e hundreds of millions of dollars that will be needed to finance new projects to provide this power.".

At the last meeting only 3 or* 4 turned up other than officials. The officials were there to answer all questions. He went on to give a precis of the troubles the council had been having over water loca- first Aberdeen school was a small shack just west of the present Aberdeen cemetery and was made of split shakes. The Aberdeen school of today was host to an unusual company o n Saturday evening when pupils of the first school and those down the years to 1930 came back for reunion in this Centennial year. Of all the invitations sent out only seventeen replies were received prior to Saturday but approximately sixty old-timers", both pupils and teachers, returned to talk over old times. Old photographs had been collected and were on exhibition. Many a hearty laugh rang out as people recognized themselves or others._ People who had not seen each other since childhood had many surprises. It was altogether a very happy gathering and the Aberdeen P. T. A. must have felt well rewarded for their efforts. Special tags had been made for the guests but these ran Junior Track Meeting The track meeting sponsored by the Kinsmen with the assistance of teachers for Grades 5 and 6 will be held on Monday, June 9 at either the City Athletic Grounds or in the grounds of the Langley Central school. Thirty events will be lined up and participants will come from all the district schools. Schoolboy Hit By Car Larry Jantzen, a seven-year- old schoolboy, was hit by a car as he left the school bus near his home last Thursday. He lives on Brown Road North. According to reports, he ran around behind the bus after getting off and Into the path of a car driven by Cornelius Wahl, also of Brown Road. A report from the hospital stated that he was getting along fine. AROUND TOWN There will eventually be a gas pump installed at the new High School for the use of school buses but it has been decided to leave this over until final gradings and parking spaces have been clarified.

All posibilities were being explored. An offer had been received from a large drilling company for digging a well with guaranteed and adequate water supply for $40,000—no water—no payment. Water mains, he went on, would cost $25,000 per mile to install. He thought that the press was greatly responsible for lack of good news coverage. Mr. Shatz of the Langley Advance pointed out that the Press couldn't give the public news when there had been no release. Closed Committees and Executive meetings presenting finished business did not allow the public to get advance information on important matters, Mr, Jefferies agreed and felt that there was not nearly enough information released before Important money bylaws were presented. The Langley Board or Trade will endeavour in future to obtain closer liaison with the Council so that contentious matters could be fully discussed at open Board meetings. Beetles In Aldergrove Post Office A recent order for the Biology Laboratory at the new Aldergrove High School included a shipment of beetles. These arrived by air from New York over the Easter holidays and were delivered to Aldergrove Post Office. Unfortunately the mail was not picked up that week and this shipment was earlier than expected so the beetles remained unclaimed for a week. Mr. L. V. E. Mercer, the School Board seoy., remarked that the livestock had survived their ordeal well and certainly hadn't diminished in numbers. out when only about half of them had arrived. Miss Alice Maud Lewis, the very first teacher in Aberdeen school, came from Vancouver and there were four members of her class to be with her on this occasion. One of them, V. J. Manning, is a retired In- pector of schools and inspected the first Fort Langley school back in 1913. Going over the registers, dating from 1893, it is remarkable to note the large numbers of late-comers to morning school each day. Some days it seemed almost every child was late. Tills must have been due to travelling difficulties. Tile first School Board consisted of Hugh Currie, William Gledhill and John LeFeuvre. One of the early School Board secretaries was David Manning and Miss Zeila, were present as was Mrs. Margaret Clarkson, also a daughter of a former School Board secretary, Mr. Robb. Mrs. Annie White, daughter of an early School Board member,. Hugh Currie, was also present. Other early teachers mentioned were: Miss Dyker, Miss Flo Currie, Miss Elizabeth George, J. Ashton, B.A., Miss C. L. Bowman, Mrs. James Beath and Miss Alice Philip.

BOARD OF SCHOOL TRUSTEES TO INVESTIGATE REi Arising from the recent accident at North Otter when a small boy sustained a fractured leg, the Board of Trustees interviewed the grandfather of the boy, Mr. Driediger at the Board meeting on April 21.

Means for the period: Maximum 56° - 57" Minimum 37° - 38" Precipitation _ .97" We have had nine consecutive rainy days (April 13 to 21) in which 2.78 inches fell, well above the total for March (2.40 Inches). Progress Satisfactory At New School Mr. H. O. Rogerson, Clerk of Works, informed the School Trustees that work on the new Aldergrove High school was proceeding to schedule and that barring accidents or very rainy weather the school would be ready for the changeover on May 5. The sewage disposal area presented the main problem, said Mr. Rogerson, but unless rainfall from now on was continuous, it should be under control In a matter of days. The parking area and the main entrance drive will at least be gravelled and possibly black-topped by May' S. A B.C. Gas expert.will be overhauling the whole gas system and setting all burners which have been causing soma trouble with Insufficient pressure. Three modifications will be incorporated In the new building. The main stairway is to be specially surfaced and then painted, rubber kick boards are to be placed under lockers and the flues are to be bricked up. CENT ACCIDENT Mr. Driediger gave his views on the accident and stated that after the school bus had unloaded its passengers, the driver had proceeded a bus length and then stopped, and although he had seen a car coming towards him, he was unable to do anything, although he realized the danger as the children were behind his bus and could not be seen. Mr. Driediger suggested that bus drivers should get out of their buses and hold up any traffic until the children were safely across the street. He also thought there should be a school crossing and signs posted at this spot. A letter from the North Otter P. T. A. with suggestions to the same effect was read to the Board. Mr. Ferguson, chairman of Transportation Committee in conjunction with other members of the Board, will make a complete investigation into the reasons for this accident and after findings will take any necessary action.

THE ALDERGROVE AND DISTRICT NEWS Aldergrove, B.C., Thursday, April 24, 1958 THE ALDERGROVE AND DISTRICT NEWS Published every Thursday at Aldergrove, B.C. Subscriptions $2.50 per year in Canada United States and elsewhere $3.50 Advertising Rates on request. Editor and Advertising Manager DON ANSON Assistant Editor MARGARET GREEN Authorized as Second Class Mail by the Post Office Department, Ottawa WHAT IS "REGULAR PRICE!" The public is very gullible. Anything that savours of a bargain will always have it's buyer but isn't it going a little too far when every commodity has its "catch label? Everyone knows that an article marked as "Regular $150.00 never sells for $150.00. If it did then obviously no one could afford to label it "Now only $99.50." Look through the papers—listen to the radio—watch the TV, everything is at special or sale price. Of course there are genuine Mies—end of season gods—stuff that won't sell—soiled goods, etc., but it's time retailers marked their goods at the price they expect them to sell for. In our view it is unethical in the extreme to try to persuade the buyer that he is getting a special bargain when he is paying actual "regular" price. We think the Better Business Bureau would do well to enforce true price labelling. The buying public would like to know the price of a TV set— the price of a new car—whether the regular price of a set of encyclopedias is really $500.00 when you are offered them (with extras) for $299.00. Supposing this newspaper had a headline "Regular Subscription $2.50—now only $1.99 it would mean simply that we had reduced our price. Imagine the farmer selling his weaner pigs at special bargain prices. He can't do it—neither can the retailer. Why does the retailer do it? Because it has become a national trend to try and fool somebody. Maybe it does, but we'd like to see the word "Regular" banned from all forms of advertising. We do not suggest that reduced prices should be banned but that this completely phoney word should be used in it's correct usage which is either relating to time or medicine. TOO OLD AT FORTY? A hundred years ago in Europe the popular cry concerning employment at least was "Too old at 50." Today it is "Too old at 40." Tomorrow, who knows? "Too old at 30." With unemployment so rife in Canada and elsewhere and with a tremendous world increase in population, the future bodes ill for the poor decrepit old man of 35, who for some reason or other seeks work, And yet of course there is the conflicting adage of "Life begins at forty." In our view there is no more reliable age than 35 onwards. At that age a man is experienced in the ways of life—is far more conscientious in his work—is more willing to work—has probably got a family to provide incentive and is not so likely to be absent. Why then do these men find it so difficult to obtain employment? Pension schemes have something to do with it but the majority of them do not expect to be put on the pension list. Expectation of life can't be used as an argument against employment until you are well in the fifties. A large business firm in England opened a new factory in Kent a few years ago and amazed everyone by employing only those aged 40 or over. That factory in its first year had the lowest incidence of absenteeism and the highest rate of productivity of any similar unit in the country. In fact so outstanding was its success that mention of it was made in the Houses of Parliament. Today in Canada something of this nature could very well be tried and we think that any employer would be quite overwhelmed by the co-operation and loyalty he would obtain.

County Line Resident Passes The Langley Funeral Chapel overflowed with friends and neighbours who went to pay tribute to the late Frederick George (Dick) Bird on Saturday last. Mr. Bird came to Canada in 1910 and lived with his family in Powell River for a number of years. He and his family came to County Line 12 years ago and opened the F. G. Bird's store there. His delivery van was a very familiar sight on the roads in that area, and he was always very good to the children of the community. The late Mr. Bird was born in London, England, on July 2, 1891 and had lived in B.C. 46 years. He is survived by his wife, Lavina, who is a member of one of the district's pioneer families; one son, Ernest ;two daughters, Edith Lavina and Roberta Anne; two grandchildren; his father and one sister in England. The funeral was held in the chapel of the Langley Funeral Home on Saturday, April 19, with Rev. T. E. C. Roberts officiating. Interment was in th Aberdeen cemetery. North Otter School Press For Activity Room The North Otter P.T.A. has sent a letter to the School Trustees stressing the necessity for an activity room a t t h e school. Mr. Dyck appearing before the Board, stated that there were now 120 children at the school and on rainy days they had only a small porch to play in. A play room for the children to be used when needed for meetings and other activities, was urgently needed. Chairman Trevor Beggs replied that whereas the Board could do nothing until sanction had been obtained from the minister of education, he was pleased that a member of the public had come forward and hoped the application would be successful. V* Langley Farmer Not Guilty An Assize Court jury at New Westminster returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of Wilfred John Newman, a Langley farmer, charged with the death last August 23 of John, J. Hubbard of 2570. Berry Road, Langley. Mr. Hubbard had his neck broken when he was struck by a car that rolled back down a driveway in Langley City. Mr. Newman was the registered owner of the car. The case hinged on the question of who was in charge of the car at the time of the fatal accident and the directive of Mr. Justice Harry Sullivan was to this effect. After a short consideration, the jury returned with the verdict of not guilty. ABBOTSFORD THEATRE Manager — C. Friesen Thur. Fri. Sat.

HOW TO POLISH METALS Langley St Andrew's Players at Home Some may think it quite an achievement for seven women to spend half an hour, talking at a sewing meeting and make it interesting. However, that is what the Langley Players did achieve on Friday and Saturday evenings when they presented their play, "Women at War." There were no slack moments throughout the play and tension was well sustained in several instances. This was quite different from any of their usual previous presentations and the North Bumaby group also had an unusual play, very diferent from that of the Langley Players. Both plays were very en- Routine Care: Daily dusting in any room will naturally include metal pieces. Copper - bottomed pans in daily use respond quickly to over-all washing and a quick application of an efficient copper cleaner. Chrome - finished toasters, percolators, etc., need little more than a wipe with a damp and than a dry cloth. You'll notice, too, that forks usually darken before other pieces of table silver. They can easily be given more frequent attention. Periodical Care: Clean your metals according to their types. There are splendid cleaners and polishes available for each of them, some specially designed for particular metals, others which can be used on several metals. Lacquered objects, when the lacquer is in good condition, should only be wiped or washed and then buffed, When lacquer has been marred, a solvent (about which your hardware dealer can advise you) can be used to remove it entirely, after which the object can be re-lacquered or regularly polished. Few home-making jobs are as rewarding and easy as polishing dulling metals. A handy little kit, including a specific polish, soft cloth for applying it, soft cloth or chamois for polishing, soft-bristled brush to get into etching, embossing, etc., should be set up in a small basket or other'container and kept conveniently at hand. When you plan to do a major metal-cleaning job, think first of your comfort while doing it. Choose a table-top or the pull-out board of your kitchen unit at which you can sit and have your work before, you.at a comfortable height. Protect the work surface with several thicknesses of news- apper. Collect all the metals for which you would use one type of cleaner, put on your protective gloves, and have a happy time. A radio or record player nearby will entertain you during work. Silver (which doesn't tarnish so quickly when protected by anti-tarnish covers drawer-linings) should be cleaned regularly with a high grade polish designed to develop a fine patina. For quick cleaning of certain pieces (see caution, next paragraph) use a large old aluminum pot (or joyable and gave the players wide scope. The costumes in both plays were the work of Mrs. Freda Butcher and Langley is indeed fortunate in being able to claim her services.

Pour in boiling water and stir in a teaspoon each of salt and baking soda for each quart. Put in silver making sure each piece touches ithe alumiruim. Bring the solution to boil. When the pieces are clean, lift them out with tongs; wash in hot sudsy water, rinse and dry. The silver, though it will be clean, will not be highly polished. You can do a touch-up job with silver polish for brilliance and good color. Important Caution: Never use the foregoing electrolytic method for cleaning silver which has a satin finish or any oxidized design; never immerse hollow-handled flatware or pieces with pearl, ivory, horn or other attached handles; candlesticks, vases, etc., which may have a weighted base or a felt table-protector hollow-ware with attached handles or knobs. A fine silver polish may be safely used on all finishes, and a treated polishing cloth is often handy. When more than a damp wipeoff is needed, burnished brass, copper, steel, nickel, chrome, etc., can be polished either with a preparation which you find adequate for some or all of them, or, some cases, with a preparation which is specifically manufactured for only one metal. Buff to a high shine with a lint-free cloth or chamois. Black iron fenders, fireplace decorative borders, stair palings, etc., can be touched up occasionally, with stove polish and a brush. Many things around the house are made of aluminum. Washing takes care of most of them. Spots on exposed alum- inum window frames, etc., can be treated with a soapy steel wool pot cleaner.

Senator Reid who recently had bitter words with General McNaughton over proposals to dam the Fraser for electrical power, complained strongly about the lack of publicity he obtained from the Daily Press. "In olden days," he stated "the captains of ships corning up the river Fraser used to report that progress was impeded by the vast numbers of salmon." "Five families of Salmon frequent the Fraser," went on the Senator. "The sockeye and tne pink salmon are the commercial varieties. Sockeye has characteristics all It's own— the female must spawn where It was born and comes in every year. The pink salmon comes In every two years and it Is only comparitively recently that It has been used commercially." "Average market value of all salmon during the last 4 years was $32,000,000,00. By 1980, at present day prices, the value is expected to reach the $125,000,000.00 mark. This mostly due to the Fisheries setup at Hell's Gate. "If dams are built on the Fraser, the sockeye will never be able to reach their spawning beds. A delay of only 10 days is sufficient to finish their run and even one dam would cause a great decrease." "The upper Columbia River, being glacial, contains no plankton, which is minute living matter from which the fish live." "If the Columbia were diverted into the Fraser it would kill off all the fish." Senator Reid emphasized the naed for more power in British Columbia but suggested that in the foreseeable future it might come from atomic power stations or even from sea water. He concluded his speech by saying "You can't eat a kilowatt." Coal and Oil — General Trucking — Moving READY MIX CEMENT FREE ESTIMATES SALESMAN WILL CALL TOTEM TRUCKING LTD.

It is the natural growing period and therefore the best time for you to join the merry throng of new dog owners. A few words of advice would , distemper germ he meets, in not come amiss because there is nothing more beset with pitfalls than acquiring a dog, unless it is acquiring a horse or maybe a second hand car. The golden rule is of course to choose the type of dog you want—then to go to a reliable breeder and pay a reasonable price, and so obtain something that at least will grow up the size and type you want and that has been well fed and reared from the day of birth. Unfortunately the majority do not do this, although more and more people are becoming conscious of the great advantages of a purebred dog. Most still pick up the nearest mongrel, without due consideration to its parents, Its background, or how it or its mother has been fed. Yes, you can get well-reared beautiful mongrels that make ideal pets and companions but usually, if they have been properly looked after for the first 6 to 8 weeks of life, they are not just given away to the first person who comes along, but must be purchased like anything else worth having.. The dog is a very fast maturing creature. Just think, it is only 12 short months from birth to adult. So you do not need much intelligence to see that those growing months are very, very vital and will make or mar the dog's life. Of these months, the most important to my mind are the first two. Give a puppy a good healthy start in life and he will build up a wonderful resistance to diseases. Give him a bad start and the chances are he will be victim to the first STOVE FURNACE OIL OIL - Fast Dependable Delivery SAM GARDNER Phono Abbotsford 5941 spite of all the care you and your vet will give him at the time. Now let us go on a puppy buying spree together. First we will pretend we want to buy a purebred dog. You must choose your breed carefully to fit your home and family. The quiet elderly couple with a small house or apartment are not going to want a big boisterous Boxer or Collie. The large country family of youngsters will not want one of the small dainty breeds. Remember there is the right dog for everyone if you Just take the trouble to find it. You are buying a companion and friend who will be with you for 10 to 12 years with a little luck. So choose carefully and sensibly and don't be carried away by pretty fluffy puppies. Having chosen you breed, find out the local breeders and arrange to go and see their stock. If they have puppies for sole, remember to notice the conditions under which the pups are housed, the size, type and above all the temperament of the mother. Ask to see the sire if possible—see that the pups are all fearless and quite friendly — that they are not thin or hunched up. Coats should shine with health, eyes should be bright and noses moist and cool. Find out :f they have been wormed and if they have had temporary distemper shots. These last two items are most important and I don't advise anyone to take delivery of a young pup unless they have been properly attended to. - , . If you are paying a reasonable high price you will want the papers intact. Some breeders will sell the females for less on the understanding that they will be spayed. Try and visit more than one kennel before you finally make up your mind. If you don't like the parents of the litter the chances are that you will not be happy with one of the pups, so keep looking. Find out how the pups have been fed and at what hours (Eight week olds need 4 feeds a day at least). You will find that when looking at a litter one will appeal to you more than the others—that should be your pup unless you have the "Dogman" eye and pick the best which the owner has decided to keep. Then you'll have to look again but get the owner to take out any "Not for sale" or already sold—it makes selection much easier. Everything I have said about looking for a pedigree pup applies to the mongrel. A pup must come from a clean surroundings—he must show all the signs of good health. Just not make him immune to distemper and all its attendant because he is a mongrel does horrors. A small sum spent on in- noculation is trivial compared with what you can spend if he becomes ill and the chances are he may spread the scourge round your neighborhood. So do please have the proper shots at the proper time and save endless suffering. STENOGRAPHER Applications are invited by the undersigned for an experienced stenographer for the School Board office.

THE ALDERGROVE AND DISTRICT HEWS Aldergrove, B.C., Thursday, April 24, 1058 HOW TO CLEAN AND CARE FOR CARPETS Routine Care: Use your carpet sweeper daily to pick up dust and bits of this and that and to raise the pile. Use your vacuum cleaner frequently, too. Gritty particles cut the pile when they have worked down into it. Spills and spots should usually be treated at once. Use a tablespoon to scrape up as much of a spill as possible, then sponge the spot, when it seems advisable, with clear water, a light suds or a cleaning agent. Don't saturalte the rug, especially with a cleaner, because some chemicals might be harmful to certain types of carpet backing. Feather-out a damp spot to blend it into adjacent areas. Periodical Care: It is very important that you know your rug—the kind of yarn used in it, and the type of backing Even a professional cleaner likes to be given this informa tion. Dust accumulates fast under tugs. Al suitable intervals, va fuum clean or sweep the under side of the rug itself, both sides of the under •" cushion, and clean the floor.

Phone Abbotsiord 8121 How To Clean Furniture Fabric. Routine Care: For good appearance keep slip - covered furniture nicely straightened and tucked in , . . plump loose cushions that are filled with down, feathers, kapok or chopped roubber (moulded rubber cushions hold their sape unaided). Loose arm - covers (sometimes head-rests too) of the same material as chair covers, are practical protectors, and can he separately washed or cleaned between-times or whipped off in an emergency. When vacuum cleaner is in use, dust furniture coverings with the soft-brush tool and the crevice tool. A handy nylon bristled dusting brush will serve the purpose,,too. Try to remove spots as soon as possible, using an upholstery cleaner, or when advisable, sponge them with a mild soap or other detergeent solution. Feather out the wet edges so that <the cleaned area will not be too apparent. Periodical Care: Remove soiled slipcovers from furniture, shake well and examine for any repairs that may be needed. Some fabrics should be professionally cleaned; others may be laundered, professionally or at home. Here's a special hint: if your fabric is likely to fray, the life of your slipcovers may be greatly prolonged if all the seams are overcast on 'the inside. When you launder slipcovers at home, make sure you don't overload your washer, so it can do its best job. Close any slide wasteners or hooks. A little thin laundry starch will give body and soil-resistance to fabrics for which it is suitable. To achieve a perfect fit, (if the under-cover is color-fast) you can replace slipcovers- while they're still damp. Mould the covers to fit each piece, make sure seams are In the right places and cordings and stripes are straight and the extra fabric well tucked in Straighten the valance, press pleats between thumb and finger and fasten them with rustproof dressmaker pins. Allow ample time for complete drying, then remove pins and In the unlikely event of non- press any spot that needs It. fast fabric on the furniture, the drying and pressing of slips will have to be completed before they axe replaced. Uprolstered furniture may often be successfully- cleaned (after thorough vacuum clean* ing) with dry-cleaning fluid— but keep room well ventilated and use a non - inflammable cleaner. There are also shampoos made for cleaning woven fabrics and some other upholsteries. To d et e rmine whether or not fabric is color- fast, test an out-of-sight area with the shampoo or cleaner and examine when dry. If you are encouraged to go ahead, follow the directions supplied with the particular cleaning product you are .using. Moth-proofing of wool covers should follow. a splendid opportunity to use a moth-spray on the back of a wool rug. Perhaps you have your rugs professionally cleaned — sending them away or having the cleaning men come in where this service is available. -At the same time, worn fringes can be replaced, worn edges faced and moth-proofing done. It's getting easier all the time to clean rugs at home and more and more women are confidently undertaking this job themselves. It's always a good idea, and sometimes necessary, to ventilate a room while the job is under way. Shampoo products have long been available. Newest of these is an effective liquid shampoo suitable for use on wool, cotton and man - made fibres. lit can be used with a stiff brush or for real speed and ease, with Us own long- handled applicator, which both applies the liquid and then pile. (You have fingertip con- sponges and scrubs it into the trol over th eumount of cleaner you release.) After a proper drying period, the rug Is vacuum cleaned or swept to remove the loosened soil. Another home method, suitable for wool rugs only, calls for the use of a granular compound which you scrub into the rug with a stiff - bristled brush, leave to dry, and remove with your vacuum cleaner after the solvent in the mixture has had time to do its work. After home cleaning, we suggest that both sides of a wool rug (and any under cushion made with animal fibres) be sprayed with a reliable moth repellent. How To Keep Shiny Walk Bright Routine Care: Plastic laminate walls, tiles and tile-board are easily wiped clean around sink, range and bath fixtures. Periodical Care: When dusting is all that's required, use your vacuum cleaner with its wall brush, or a clean untreated dry mop. To restore brilliance: Wash the walls with a sponge or sponge-mop using a detergent solution; work from floor upward; rinse and dry. (or) Wipe walls clean with the special type of paint-washing preparation which requires no rinsing, (or) Treat the walls with a wax cream such as you would use on your kitchen and laundry appliances. Whatever your method of cleaning, try a gentle cleanser on persistent spots. LIGHT IS RIGHT Light colors for houses like light colors in clothing, art' good for warm wea'hor. The ideal roof has a smooth, white surface, Such a roof will reded as much ns 68 per cent of the sun's heat. How To Clean Painted Surfaces Koutlne Care: These days walls, woodwork and furniture are given painted finishes which range from a dull matte to a high gloss. They call for little routine care beyond dusting. When finger - marks and small soils occur, deal with them as you encounter them to maintain a well-kept appearance. A damp rub-off will often suffice, or a gentle washing or use of a paint-cleaning compound when soil is stubborn. Periodical Care: Washing paint is made infinitely easier today by the initial resistance to soil offered by our high- grade paints. For any major paint-cleaning job, either walls or furniture, protect floors with plenty of newspaper. For heights, be sure your step-ladder is sturdy, well-balanced and equipped with a shelf for the cleaning gear. Arm yourself with good- sized household sponges or absorbent cloths. You have a choice for cleaning your walls: (1) Warm water with mild soap or detergent, followed by a rinse. (2) A one-operaJtion paint-washing compound. (3) A wax - based cleaner, (which is apt lo be restricted to paints of gloss- finish). If you are washing with a warm sudsy solution, or a compound which may require a rinse afterwards, have a second pall of clean water and a second sponge or cloth for rinsing. The accepted procedure for washing painted 'walls or a battery of cabinets Is to work from *he base upward, a few square feet at a time. Strangely enough, any dribbles of soiled'' wash-water that - run down are fore easily wiped from an already-cleaned wall than from a still-soiled area. When you have cleaned . square of wall, overlap slightly when you start on the neighboring surface. When washing woodwork adjacent to papered walls, protect (he paper with a strip of firm plnstic film which can be continually wiped dry, or with a succession of cardboard strips. If you are using a wax-based cleaning preparation on your painted surfaces, follow the directions on its label, CUSTOM POWER DIGGING SEPTIC TANKS DITCHES. Etc. Gravel Loading. ALD. 5170 n. k.
