But all implements, especialhy those used outdoors, require a great deal more care than those of the past. To insure longer life and better service from your outdoor equipment, we suggest the fol- lowing "green thumb"' hints: 1. Annoying rust won't form on garden tools coated with petroleum jelly, Hoes, rakes and spades not made of stainless steel should be rinsed and dried after use, then treated to a fresh coat of petroleum jelly. 2. Keep pruning and cutting shears in condition to clip neat- ly along by lubricating them often with petroleum jelly. 3. Check and repair rubber or plastic handles on mowers, wheelbarrows and cutting im- plements before initial use; loose grips are harder to use, may be dangerous. 4. Sprinklers or watering cans May rust if not thoroughly dried after each session. Fer added Beautify Bathrooms In addition to a wide range of warm colors in tiled and water- proof wal! coverings, soft floor coverings and other more dec- orative touches, rich, warm wood paneling and wood built- ins add new charm 10. bath- rooms. Wood paneling such as West- ern pine, for example, offers beauty of grain, texture and finish Thanks to treatment with modern sealers and _ finishes, these woods will withstand the humidity and common abuses that prevail in a bathroom. Built-in vanities with generous counters and storage space, linen cabinets, laundry bins -- even your washer and dryer can be built into your bathroom as space permits. Give Outdoor Gear | Tender, Loving Care protection, coat the sprinkler with petroleum jelly. 5. Tools with blades should be sharpened not only at the first of the season, but as often as needed for maximum efficiency. 6. To eliminate misplacing or careless handling of smal) tools, hang them from a rack. The simplest rack can be made fron: peg board and a few dime-store hooks. 7. Even gilove-wearing won't always protect the most-basic tools -- your hands -- against chapping and roughnéss. Before beginning any outdoor work, treat them to a soothing film of petroleum jeliy. Rub a little extra. around outicles and be- neath nails to discourage hard- to-remove dirt deposits, Petroleum jelly can be a great aid with many items around the house which are ex- posed to the elements, for ex- ample. fastened and at bottom where it joins seat. : %. Outdoor light bulbs won't rust i the threads are lightly coated with petroleum jelly. If you putter around the gar- den, you' be happy to know that a special moisture-resistant pencil can spare you the head- ache of trying to identify vege- table and flower beds with the seed pocket. Just attach a tag marked with this pencil. It won't wash out, fade or rub off.
