WEDDINGS OUGHTRED--EDDY Central United Church, Weston, was the scene of a wedding of interest to Oakville people last week, when Helen Alma, daughter of Rev. B. B. Eddy and Mrs. Ed- dy, Weston, formerly of Oakville, became the bride of Gordon Fran- cis Oughtred, Clarkson, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Oughtred. The ceremony was conducted by the bride's father Given in marriage by her broth- er, Douglas Eddy, the bride wore a gown of white satin with sheer tended into a train, her finger- blossom coronet, and she carried cade of orchids and carna- was attended by Miss Betty Ed- dy, maid of honor, Mrs. Ralph Manley, Mrs. .

WE FEEL IT, TOO Linotype metal that sold in 1938 for around 10 cents a pound hit a new high last week of 31 and a half cents per pound. About half the price of butter, and a 100 pounds' can go into a pretty small box. --RUTH D. It's Clean Well, here we are again. The ro- bins are back, the pussy-willows are out, and the spring-cleaning has to be done. Perhaps you are the methodical type who spreads cleaning evenly over each week of the year and so has no season- al rush to spruce: up your home. More likely you aren't, and each year at this time finds you with brush and mop, soap and clean- ser, and hair tied up in a ban- danna. There is a certain satisfac- tion, despite the back-ache, to this yearly purge of dirt as you throw - open the doors for the first time, air the closets and un- settle the moths from the cup- boards. Spring cleaning, 1951 version, should be the easiest you have ever done, despite the extent of accumulation of winter's grime. Vacuum' cleaners with their var- ious attachments, effective deter- gents and other types of clean- ers, venetian blind brushes, spec- ial waxes are all available to aid you in your efforts. Admittedly plenty of patience and stamina is also required but we have come a long way since the days when grandmother had to move the livingroom rug to the clothesline and you had to spend the whole day beating it. Some kind of a system is a good idea, One school of thought does one room completely before moy- ing on to the next. Another group prefers to attack the various jobs --cleaning and polishing furniture, shining windows, airing clothes, etc., throughout the house at one time. If you do the work in some semblance of order you are less likely to find yourself confused, muddled and in a, bad humor of the type that makes the whole family groan when you first start your spring attack on dirt. You'll give the refrigerator a special cleaning out, of course. Where there are worn spots on the exterior, you can enamel it your- self. Your local Oakville dealer will indicate the correct type of finish to use. Any rough spots should be delicately sanded and the bare places covered with a metal undercoating before the new enamel is applied. When FROM YOUR COLOR COUNSELOR SUNLEY-- . -up Time frig, by the way, never use a harsh abrasive or cleaner. If the coating is peeling from your radiators, all loose paint should be removed with a wire brush so that the surface is ab- solutely clean and the uncoated areas should be given a coat of metal primer before the radiator is repainted the color desired. Art gum will take smudges off your venetian blinds and they can then be washed with warm sudsy water and rinsed. A coat of wax applied to the slats will keep them clear for a long period. Oth- er points that need special clean- ing attention - are fixtures and light-bulbs, which should .be thor- oughly dusted. While you are cleaning off cupboard shelves and emptying drawers, you might as well line them with paper to keep them attractive. For washing walls, it is usual- ly récommended that you start at the bottom and work up to avoid streaks resulting from water running over soiled surfaces. An alternative is to wet the whole surface and then start working from the top, Soap and water will be more alkaline, and therefore HOW'S YOUR BRAKES...

The lat- ter is the obvious choice for kitchen, bathrooms and wood- works and the new enamels that almost seem to be baked on the surfaces to which they are ap- plied withstand the washing nec- essitated in a room that is sub- jected to steam or grease. Varn- ishes are equally as hard en- amel and just as readily washed. Some pre-war "flats" were wash- able in varying degrees, but the post-war "flats" which are formu- lated with synthetic resins and rubber bases and compounded as emulsions, offer easily cleanable surfaces.
