We repainted after this, but notice that the stains are coming through this paint also, What could. be used to eliminate these stains before we paint oe. 80 that they do not come igh again? ANSWER: In a somewhat similar situation to yours, I cor- rected the bleeding through of the salty stain with an under- coat of aluminum paint. I sug- gest you try this on a small test area before going to the work of coating the affected walls, Don't see any reason why this shouldn't work out well for you, dy never hurts to test things MILDEWED PADS IN PIANO QUESTION: Our upright ano is in our recreation room. felt pads have become mil- dewed and there is a musty odor in the piano, How can these be replaced and @ recur- rence prevented? ANSWER: Because of the moisture present in even seem- ingly dry basements. (I assume that's the location of your rec: reation room), keeping pianos there is not recommended. Re- lacement of the felt pads is a lob for a professional, To pre- vent a recurrence of the mil- dew, I suggest installing a small electric damp-chaser used for this purpose in TV sets, closets, etc, This is an aluminum-cover- ed cylindrical bulb, plugged into a convenient outlet and consum- ing only the equivalent of a 25- watt bulb. This keeps the air gently warmed and circulating, preventing growth of mold. Available at housewares and electric appliance dealers, WARPED KITCHEN DOOR QUESTION: The door between the kitchen and the landing at the top of the cellar stairs has warped so badly we can't close it tightly any more. Must we re- place the door, or can the warp be straightened? ANSWER: No need to replace the door, Remove the door from the hinges and lay it concave side up on two chair backs or other supports, allowing the ends to extend out about six inches.

Nam -- three times as many as when Saigon appealed to the non-Cotamunist world for aid a year ago. Fight others have promised help. About 700 civilians and 4,000 Helter, Isoldiers from 13 countries be- side the United States are on the job in South Viet Nam, ac- cording 'to U.S, state depart- ment figures. The number is expected to take big jumps with the pros- pective arrival of perhaps 16,000 more Korean troops in addition to. the 2,200-man Korean task force unit already at hand. Later this year the Philip- pines may send a 2,300 - man contingent, The total of men and mater- jal from other countries amounts to only a fraction of the U.S. contribution -- more than 125,000 men and $1,000, 000,000-plus this year, by latest figures. Canada is contributing medi- cal help, flour, scientific and educational assistance. BRITAIN HELPS TOO -- Britain is giving a variety of economic and technical assist- lance, | The state department ithese other countries south Viet Nam so far: Australia--An infantry battal- aiding lists! ricated warehouses, farm ma- chinery, seeds and fertilizers. . F rance -- Economic, techni- cal and medical assistance totalling $111,000,000 since 1956. West Germany -- Experts on vocational training, medicine, sated ba and funds for agricul- ne investment and develop- ment, Guatemala -- 15,000 doses of typhoid-paratyphoid serum.

Mr. Papineau thought it was a joke until he turned and saw a man in 20s with a pistol in his hand. Mr.. Pay 1 made a grab for the pistol and the barrel of the plastic toy broke off in his hand.

Then seal all unpainted surfaces, including edges and top and bottom, with shellac or paint or varnish, to prevent entry of the moisture which causes the warping, Re- hang the door, when dry. PERSISTENT PAINT SMELL QUESTION: I painted my clothes closet about six weeks ago, using a paint (oil base) I had for some time, Since then I have not been able to get the smell out of the closet or the ad- joining bedroom, although 1 eep the window open almost all the time. What can I do? ANSWER: Try keeping the closet door open, with an elec- trie fan to aid air circulation, and airing for several days. If odor persists, scatter generous quantities of camphor flakes or ara crystals about the closet. en keep it tightly closed for at least a week or ten days. Be- sides being moth _preventives, these are excellent deodorizers. If this doesn't prove successful, the only suggestion I can offer is to remove the present paint coating and refinish the closet. The paint you used probably de- teriorated while in storage, or was defective to begin with, DEHUMIDIFIER OVERFLOW QUESTION: I have a viscose rayon, foam-backed carpet, The dehumidifier ran over, soaking the carpet (but no leakage through foam backing) for at least six hours before it was noticed. Dried up as much as possible, with towels, and raised it off the floor and turn- ed a fan on, but a dark spot jabout three feet across was left, Have done nothing else jexcept vacuum and brushing it. Carpet dealer could give no advice on what to do, Can you help ANSWER; Perhaps. Best thing to do would be to call in a competent rug cleaner to tackle the stained area, Make a solution of one quart warm water, one teaspoon of a milk neutral detergent, one teaspoon of white vinegar. Sponge area with this, working from edge to centre, and avoid getting area too wet, Dry the carpet, Then apply a non-flammable liquid spot remover, being sure room is well ventilated while work- RESTRICTIONS and MAINTENANCE SERVICES Restrictions: Find aut whet restrictions there are rence.
