DRY OR PLASTER WALLS QUESTION: We are consider- ing having our own home built on some land we acquired some time ago. Are plaster walls or dry walls preferable? ANSWER: Both types give satisfactory service, and where cost is not the prime governing factor, it is a matter of indi- vidual preference as to which to use. Dry walls are generally easier to install than plaster walls; they are less expensive in price and labor. Difference is that "dry-wall" comes in sheets, usually four by eight feet, secured by nailing or ad- hesive, Plaster walls give a seamless surface, applied over lath, either wood or metal, REMOVING COLOR QUESTION: My wife has a few flour sacks that have an imprint of black and other colors, Is there a way to wash out the imprint? color remover for textiles, avail- able where textile dyes and tints are carried, at most vari- ety and housewares dealers. SQUIRRELS IN THE ROOF QUESTION: My house is ail- ing because I seem unable to get rid of squirrels in the roof. Can you help?

Close al entrances, no matter how small, |i, with sheet metal, strong wire mesh, or fill with cement. Cut of to yellowing: get them white again and pre- vent further discoloration? ANSWER: Most of the yellow- - ing can be removed by wiping |with a thin paste made of alco- |hol and powdered whiting or chalk. Or wipe the keys with peroxide to which a few drops household ammonia have been added. Or rub the surface with a fresh cut lemon. Dark- ness causes the yellowing. Open- g the keyboard for an hour or two, several times a week to admit daylight will keep ivory keys white. If, however, the dis- coloration is throughout the en- tire thickness of the keys, noth- ig will whiten them. Exposure daylight will prevent further away any overhanging branches near the roof. Generously scat- tering moth flakes or balls about the attic area, will often drive the squirrels out; they dislike the odor and will go elsewhere.
