MOLNER, M.D. Dear Dr. Molner: What is your idea about a. chest x-ray required annually by an em- ployer? There has been much discussion concerning after-ef- fects, possibly leading to can- cer.--Mrs, H.A.M. To clear the air, let's dispose of the "cancer" idea. No, this won't cause cancer. A chest x-ray requires about one-tenth of a second exposure, and comparable amounts for other diagnostic x-rays. It's true that in the early days some doctors and _ scientisst were burned by the rays, but that was the result of hours of of one ordinary x-ray a year, at a tenth of a second, 36,000 years would be required to ac- cumulate only one hour of ex- these days is nuclear explosions, and what ef-|the person has fect this may have on genetics.|TB) then an x-ray is taken.

WHITMAN GLOSSY 'JAPANNED' FINISH QUESTION: I have two lamp tables and one cocktail table in blond finish which I would like to re-do in a japanned finish. How do I go about doing this? I have seen the japanned finish in a black glossy lacquer and like it very much. ANSWER: The present finish must be removed down to bare wood; lacquer will act as a sol- vent on varnish and may cause smearing. Then sand the bare wood surfaces satin smooth, ~ wipe off all dust, and apply the ™ black lacquer, following direc- tions on the lacquer container ~ carefully, After the black lac- quer has dried thoroughly, apply several thin coats (the more coats, the higher the finish) of clear lacquer, sanding lightly after each coat before applying the next. WARM ATTIC QUESTION: Our attic is un- * finished, rafters exposed, etc. At times it gets quite warm up there. Know aluminum paint has heat reflecting qualities, and am wondering if painted on these rafters, it would have any effect at ali in reducing the temperature. Any other sugges. tions? j ANSWER: Painting just the rafters wouldn't help much. However, fastening sheets of al- uminum foil, or installation con- taining aluminum foil, under the " roof and between the attic raf- ters, provides an excellent heat ~~ barrier. Providing adequate ven-| ~ tilation and air circulation will) help reduce the attic heat. PAINTING FIELDSTONE QUESTION: My house has a fleldstone foundation 18 inches thick with slack lime over it put on years ago. Now I would like to paint it. How can I get the lime off easily and what kind of paint to use? ANSWER: To remove the slack lime (or whitewash): Re- move the thickest part with a stiff wire brush. Then apply a hot solution of washing soda, using about a half-pound to the gallon of water and allow to soak in thoroughly. Then scrub with more of the solution until coating is removed. Rinse well with clear water. Use one of the new top quality vinyl plastic latex paints, following label di- rections for application. BROWN WALLS QUESTION: I have a_ hot water boiler gas furnace. The walls above the registers are al- ways brown and the kitchen cur- tain, a short distance above a register, always looks dirty. How can this be stopped? ANSWER: Installing filters in the registers -- available many variety and hardware stores-- will greatly help sift out the air coming through the registers. I suggest having your service man check the adjustment of your furnace. Since most homes now have filters, maybe you have them, but they need clean- ing or replacement. SUMMER HEAT QUESTION: We have a ranch- type home which seems to get unusually warm in the summer. We had awnings put on the win. dows facing the afternoon sun, but this didn't help much. The attic does not have a floor and the ceiling joists and does not seem to cover thoroughly (loose type insulation), Would this be our problem, inasmuch as warm air does not travel downward? Where should louvers be placed in the roof? ANSWER: Fixed louvers, as high in the gabled ends as pos- sible, will help ventilate heated air out of the attic. If a powerful attic fan fs installed, which can the insulation is lying between) '| draw heated air from the rooms below and out through the win- dow or louvers, this will help considerably. The faulty, blown- type insulation on the attic floor doesn't make much difference, as regards the summer heat problem, but it can be highly important in helping concerve house heat in winter. Is there a vapor barrier of aluminum foil under the roof to reflect away the sun's rays? This is very ef- fective. In fact, aluminum roof. ing reflects away so much heat that it often keeps rooms under. neath as much as 15 degrees cooler than before. DARK TO LIGHT MAHOGANY QUESTION: We have a small dark mahogany table, We pre- fer lighter colored furniture. Could the dark finish be made lighter? ANSWER: Remove the pre- sent finish down to bare wood. Then bleach out the color with prepared wood bleach, following label directions carefully. Or apply a hot, saturated oxalic acid (poison) solution, allowing to remain overnight; then rinse well with clear water. When the wood is thoroughly dry, smooth with "000" sandpaper, and wipe off all dust; finish with to p ey gloss or semigloss- var- Buying or Selling!

This is in contrast to Mr. Diefenbaker for whom only 38 per cent of the people report no change in opinion.

For Mr. Diefenbaker only 43 per cent are in this segment of the nation, To see what early months of the public mood, Gallup Poll interviewers repeated a ques- tion keyed to Mr. Pearson, which had been put to a scien- tific sampe of the nation in regard to Mr. Diefenbaker. "Speaking generally would you say your gpinion of the defects, the im- portant for protection is in early life--say until 35 years or 80. | That covers the child-bearing years for the most part. After then, the added radiation is of less significance, There has been some change in routine testing. Instead of chest x-rays for everyone, there is now a growing practice of giving a tuberculin, or skin test to people under 35. If the test is negative, no x-ray is required. If it is positive (showing that been exposed to year (rather than every year, as in the past) is taken. there is any sympton, at any time, raising suspicion of TB. useful in detecting many other eonditions. It is an important, useful tool, and I hope no reader will hesitate for an instant when one is really needed. However, it is also possible example, at least half a dozen x-rays crossed my desks this morning. Insurance companies, for one, are conscientiously ask- ing health departments, medical centers or individual doctors if they may take a look at recent x-rays instead of ordering new ones, thus avoiding duplication of exposure.

A person who is extremely sensitive to peni- cillin might have some trouble, but such instances are rare. FAMED SHOW SOLD WINNIPEG (CP) -- E. J, Casey Shows, a traditional Ca- nadian carnival feature of many small western fairs for 25 years, has announced sale of its charter to Gold Medal Shows owned by Johnny Denton of Indian Death Said Typical Case History VANCOUVER (CP) -- The coroner's jury found that the death of a once-pretty, 26-year- old Indian woman was "unnat- ural and homicidal." The cor- oner said it was a typical case history of the tragedy of Indian women who venture into Van. couver's ugly corner as Skid Road. Irene James Ruth, who left an Indian reserve at Alert Bay when she was 19, was found dead in a cheap rooming house Dec. 17 after a fight with an. other woman there. Evidence given the coroner's jury showed she left the re- serve after first tasting liquor at 19. In the succeeding years she had given birth to an ille. gitimate child, had become an alcoholic and had a record of recurring serious illnesses, 'TOLERATE PROBLEM' Coroner Glen McDonald, a lawyer, commenting on the drunken fight blamed for the woman's death, said: "The problem of these girls has been so neglected that it now is tol- erated in our community." It was apparent that society "didn't really care' what hap- pened to them, He said that while civic offi- cials talk of a cleanup of Vati- couver's physical slums "noth- ing is done to clean up the human slum--a deeper and more terrible tragedy than ten- ement houses," Coroner McDonald told the jury that in 1962 a total of 1,587 women were arrested for being intoxicated in a public place, and of these 507 or 32 per cent were B.C. native Indian women who through neglect, abuse by men and general degeneration come to think only of liquor. The jury recommended that a study be made of "'the ser- ious social problem" by a com- mission drawn from all levels Leader of the Opposition, Les- ter Pearson, has gone up or down in the last six months?"

SCIENCE AT WORK 'Other World' Message Sought By Scientists By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Topics this week: Mes- HELLO OUT THERE Scientists are of a coded mes- one day gen 4 sage from er beings on other worlds somewhere in space, They have simulated the a -- hae might expect, e such message consists of 1,271 ones and zeroes in what looks like ran- som order. But it is a code that can be reproduced in picture form. To start with, such a code may reduce itself to a coded square. Mathematically, the number of 1,271 can be pro- duced by multiplying 31 times 41. So perhaps square of 1,271 units is 31 units on two sides, 41 units on the other two sides, Marking a dot for every "1" and leaving a blank for every "0", a picture in dot form be- gins to appear. In a sample message, por- trayed in a recent issue of in- ternational science and tech- nology magazine, the picture tells a great deal indeed. At the bottom are three be- ings, looking much like hu- mans--in fact, like a man, a woman and a child, At the right of the picture is a por- trayal of the solar system that the beings inhabit.
