Name Pritt prettier FIRST AID TO AILING HOUSE TAR STAIN ON SHIRT QUESION: My son got tar on his shirt, How can I remove the stain? ANSWER: Rub Jard or a vege- table shortening on the stain, then launder the shirt, Or rub crude creosote on the tar spots to dissolve the tar. The yellow smear left can be washed out with soap and water. CUPBOARD DOORS QUESTION: The kitchen in our new apartment has several open: shelves on one wall. I would like to convert this into a closed cupboard. Is there any place to buy cupboard doors ? ANSWER: Doors can be ob- tained at many lumber dealers or building supplies stores; also some unfinished furniture deal- ers. FOUNDATION NECESSARY? QUESTION: We plan to in- stall a concrete walk around the house, when the weather is warm enough in the spring. Is it necessary to put down a gravel foundation first? ANSWER: A gravel or .cinder jfoundation is laid under a walk iwhen the drainage is not good tand there is danger that water 'may collect underneath. ' 'TAKING OFF FLOOR WAX . QUESTION: We have waxed, 'varnished floors downstairs. We would like to revarnish these. 'How can we remove the wax first? . ANSWER: Excellent wax- _removing preparations are wide- lly available at supermarkets, housewares and hardware deal- ers; follow label directions care- fully. Or go over the floor sev- eral times with "0" steel woo! -and__turpentine, changing the steel wool frequently. "OLD AGE" CRACKS QUESTION: My rather old home seems to be settling a great deal in the last few years. A year or so ago a large crack 'appeared over my bathroom - window and there are signs that an adjoining room is also af- fected. How effective are steel i . installed in the basement? | Different people consulted don't seem to agree about this. 'I need to do some decorating 'and want this taken care of ' first. . ANSWER: Adjustable steel 'posts could, well be essential jrather than merely desriable 'Settling' you describe might 'be weakening beams rather , than the house itself settling on 'its foundations, which is the Other tables we have with plastic-coated tops are still like new after years of use. Is there any kind of plastic we could buy to.coat this table top, as I would rather not put a glass on it. ANSWER: Laminated plastic sheets, in a wide assortment of popular wood colors and finishes are available at building sup- plies dealers and lumber yards. Manufacturer's detailed instruc- tions are available at the deal- ers for affixing these to furni- ture tops (or wherever desired) and are easy to follow.' Clear plastic spray is widely available at paint and hardware stores. This too will give good protec- tion. SAWDUST FROM TERMITES? QUESTION: How can we de- termine if there are termites in the house? Last summer we no- ticed sawdust in some small closets. Also, sawdust gathered on the walk outside the house under the eaves. In the sawdust could be seen the remains of what appeared to be black ants. If not termites what could they be? Is there any way a home- owner can get rid of these pests without calling in an extermin- ating service? ANSWER: As the best meth- od, for what sounds like a gen- eral, widespread infestation, strongly recommended having a reliable exterminator. to do the job. In attacking wood, termites usually leave not outward evi- dence of infestation; wood bor- ers, such as carpenter ants or powder post beetles, usually cause sawdust to collect. From your description, I haz- ard the guess that these are carpenter ants. These insects, excavate wood and the sawdust they create usually falls beneath the next entrance: Tie nests |must be located and the en- trance sprayed with carbon "tet" or chlordane insecticide. Carpenter ants do not eat wood, but excavate it to build nests, creating the sawdust which lo- cates the nest; the principal food of these insects is other in- sects. Any badly damaged wood may have to be replaced. ANTIQUE FINISH QUESTION: I had. a_ buffet made into a hutch and would like to antique it birch or white. I want to do my kitchen table 'OLD GALS' GO TO CONGRESS WASHINGTON (Reuters)-- The cause of allegedly over- age flight stewardesses who are retired in their 30s were taken up Thursday by some doughty knights of Congress. The setting was the meet- ing of a House of Representa- tives labor subcommittee which, hitherto, has been con- sidering the problems of older workers such as middle-aged salesmen, factory hands and others, But Thursdsy Representa- tive James H. Scheuer, of New York, looked over committee room and called to the dozens or more steward- esses in the committee room: "Stand up, so we can see the dimensions of the problem." Representative Scheuer and his colleagues were told that the airlines have policies call- ing for stewardesses to resign at 32 in. some cases, 35 in others, "Tf this isn't discrimination on account of age, what is?" asked Representative Barratt 'Hara, of Illinois, the chair- man, Colleen Boland, a trim 37, was the spokesman for the This handsome split-level could be built on a flat 60- foot lot.

Canada's UN ia 7 a Forces Uut | In Nic a Informants said he UN man eiand ein OTTAWA (CP) -- Strength of the Canadian contingent serving with the United Nations force in Cyprus is being reduced be- low 1,000 men for the first time since the force was created in the spring of 1964. Officials said Thursday the Nicosia zone headquarters of e six-nation, 5,735-man UN force, comprising some 160 Ca- nadians, is being disbanded as a UN economy measure. The Canadians are leaving for home right away. With zone headquarters elim- inated, the Canadian contingent will number some 980 men: '730 in the Ist Battalion, Queen's Own Rifles; 95 in the Royal Ca- nadian Dragoons Reconnais- sance Squadron; 140 in Cana- dian contingent headquarters; and 15 with UN headquarters, The mandate of the force was extended by the UN Security Council last June for six months OTTAWA (CP). -- A former deputy judge of Ottawa's juve- nile and family court says 'juvenile courts across Ontario should be taken from the local municipalities and placed into the hands of the attorney-gen- eral's department." Eileen Mitchell Thomas, who resigned from the court Aug. 31 after a year's leave of ab- sence, said in an_ interview Thursday she felt she had to point out some things to help courts throughout Ontario, fact that they're not operat- ing flying bunny clubs, but just another means of trans- portation." Scheuer advised the airlines to refer to Benjamin Frank- lin's letter to his son exhort- ing him to court middle-aged women, "Franklin noted that their feminine allure and sensitiv- ity were enhanced, as in vint- age wine," said Scheuer, "Perhaps this letter should be distributed to the airlines. "T would oppose with my dying breath the notion that a woman is less beautiful, less appealing, less sensitive after 30, and I'm sure my col- leagues would agree."
