Harvey G. Lainson 6:30 P.M.--PRAYER FELLOWSHIP in the country, and I will ap- preciate any suggestions as to how I can keep my chimney flue and vent pipes safe against entry of birds and squirrels. ANSWER: The least compli-; cated method is to shape a) piece of quarter-inch sturdy wire screen into a shallow basket. The size should be such that you can just push the sides down into the flue opening. with the top slightly larger so it won't quite fit inside. This will serve as a good barrier to |would-be tenants, and also make a fine spark arrester. The advantage of this shape is that if and when smoke and gasses eventually corrode the wire, you can easily remove it and put in another. For vent stack openings, just crumple a little bronze, copper or aluminum screening and put it into the spray won't stray. One definite advantage of the spray over either roller or brush is that it will fit into such tight cran- nies, like the overlap where one link fits over another (same idea as when painting wicker furniture; spray will penetrate easily into spots you'll never reach with even a small brush, and certainly never with a roll- er), STICKY CONCRETE QUESTION: To keep my hus- band and children from track- ing mud into the house, I thought I would make concrete stepping stones from the ga- rage to the back door. I made square forms from wooden boxes, but the concrete stuck to the wood. Do you think if I lined the forms with waxed paper this would prevent the concrete sticking? Or what do you rec- top. You can also wire a piece over the top, but it doesn't look} quite so neat. Be sure to use| the same type screening as the) metal stack. Otherwise, with} dissimilar metals, there could) be set up a corrosive action be- tween them.

PAINTING A CHAIN FENCE QUESTION: Can you tell me what is the best way to paint a chain link fence? I have a large area to cover. ANSWER: In my opinion, it's pretty much a toss-up between ja roller with leng-fiber nap or a spray gun. A brush runs. a very poor third. If you use a spray, try to wait for a reason- ably still day, so a lot of the paint mist won't wander to } } Many Jjiwhere it's not wanted, found it had burned a dark,| round area in the shiny sur-| he can do to make it feel firm i ommend? ANSWER: Come to thnik of it, ma'am, waxed paper is a good idea. Foil would work, too. But we males usually solve the prob- jlem by coating the inside of {the form with old motor oil or |grease. Don't claim it's any bet- ter than your idea, however! SHINGLES LOSING GRAVEL QUESTION: I have noticed that the gravelly surface of the jasphalt shingles on my roof is |beginning to crumble off. Do 'you think painting would help preserve them? ANSWER: An excellent idea. A paint of the vinyl plastic latex type will not only anchor the granules to this shingle, but add a film of protection. The shingles will last longer. GUM ON SIDEWALK QUESTION: Our sidewalk is Here is a home designed especially for a lot which slopes to the left -- or if built in reverse, with a slope to the zight. Note the split level entrance with short stairs to both floors. If not required the upper washroom could be eliminated. This space could then be used for enlarging the bathroom and closet. The lay- out of the upper floor is ex- cellent, Because of the slop- ing lot, a rear exit (at grade level) could be arranged, and lighting in basement rooms simplified. Construction is a combination of Brick Veneer and Frame, but instructions for building in all brick are supplied. Design is suitable for electric heating. 1,350 Sq. Ft.

SOILED CUT GLASS QUESTION: I came across a large punch bowl at an auction, and somewhat against my hus- band's wishes, i bid it in. Be- cause it's cut glass, he didn't think I could ever get the dirt of ages out of all the crevices. Can I? | ANSWER: Not knowing the ages, I don't guarantee this un- of suds, added for good measure. If the bowl is too large for the sink, usé a wash tub or whatever else will serve. After a few hours test the results by scrubbing with a fairly stiff brush (a tooth brush is. excellent). If results are not too good, wipe generously with vinegar, trying to let this work for an hour or so. Follow by wiping with a sponge, soaked with scratchless scouring powder solution. Good luck! (CIGARETTE BOX QUESTION: After several years of "'feeding" guests, the living room coffee table has. a few scratches. Is it possible to get these battle-scars out?

Spokesmen for Canada's min- ing industry said the strike will cut out ore shipments to the United States. Massey Ferguson, major farm - machinery maker, said the strike will be a serious blow and could result in substantial losses due to the drop in export business to the U.S. : However, there wasn't any panic selling on the market as only 13,281,925 shares changed hands compared with 13,350,862 last week. IN SIXTH MONTH The slump is well into its sixth month and analysts cite lack of New York exchange, uncer- tainty about the international situation and higher interest rates as causes--with the rail strike an added factor.
