2 Water Will Break Down Unpro- tected Surface of Your House ‘This is the sixth of a series of 12 articles by Roger B. Whitman, ‘famous housing expert, on the repair and modernization of the home. These articles are intend- ed as a guide in connection with the Federal Housing Administra- tion’s home renovizing campaign. BY ROGER B. WHITMAN Written Especially for NEA Service and The Bismarck Tribune Most of the painting to be done around a house is the doing over of old paint, Indoors, it is likely to be for cov- ering soiled paint or because you are tired of the old color. But when the outside of a house needs repainting, it is because the old paint has given way, has lost its surface and is turn- ing to powder, or is cracking and peel- ing as the oil becomes hard and brit- tle. The main purpose of the outside paint is to keep water from reaching the surface beneath, for should th's happen there is likely to be splitting, cracking, rotting and rusting. Any paint offered for outside use is wa- terproof when fresh; the point for a home owner to consider is how long) it will stay so. i No paint can stand weather and the destructive effects of sunlight; for any long period. Repainting should not be put off until the old paint is so far gone that the surface beneath begins to show. The time for repainting is while the first coat of the old paint still has body and is firmly attached to the surface. ‘With no change in color, two new coats should make a satisfactory job. With the old paint further gone, what is left of it should come off, and for &@ good job, starting from the bare surface, three coats will be needed. TWO COATS ON OLD PAINT Some paints fail in first losing gloss and then going powdery; becoming chalky, as it is called. When chalking has not gone through to the surface beneath, the old paint makes an ex- cellent base for new. The chalkiness is brushed or wiped off and the new COAT Tekee ARE NE! the back. Taxe off loose paint with @ scraper, and after finding and clos- ing the leaks, give the bare places a few coats to bring them to the level of the rest before general repainting. Should paint be blistered, peeling, and cracked, it may be because of low quality, of dampness in the surface at the time of painting, or from the application of so many coats that the first coat gives way under the weight. In any of these cases, scrape off all of the old paint before repainting, or, employ a skilled worker to burn it off with a blow-torch. There are too be undertaken by a novice. THREE COATS ON BARE WOOD coats are needed for a good job. Paint for the first coat should be thinned with one pint raw linsecd oi] and one- half pint turpentine to the gallon; for the second coat with one pint of turpentine to the gallon. Paint for the third coat is used as it comes. When the first coat has hardened, every crack and nail hole should be filled with putty, stiff white lead paste, or thickened scrapings from a paint can. Plenty of time for drying should be allowed between coats. For painting the outside of the house, get the highest quality paint that you can find, Even at high cost it is the cheapest in the end because many chances of fire, for burning to!

For one thing, the surface must be Properly prepared; it must be clean and dry—especially dry. Painting should not start for several days af- ter a rain, or when there is dampness in the air, or too early in the morning for the dampness of night to have dried off. Temperature should be not less than 50 degrees; chilled paint dries tes slowly to dry properly.

Many Hans have therefore been developed for bri and deman (Copyright, 1934, Advertising Federation of America) Bureau of Research and Education, Advertising Federation of America HE numerous plans for controlling production in this country have i absorbed so much attention in their own mechanisms that we may be losing sight of what we are really trying to accomplish. It is impor- . tant to understand what we are striving for and why we are striving. Why should production be controlled, anyway? There is only one reason, a very simple one. It is to help bring about a practical balance between the volume of commodities produced on the one hand, and the ef- feetive demand for them on the other. This desired balance applies not - only to the aggregate quantity of production but also to the relative Before matters had become so complicated as they are today, it was easier for the natural economic forces to maintain a rough sort of balance between production and demand. When we say:“natural economic forces” we mean nothing more than the natural desires and voluntary actions of the individual people who make up the great economic groups of producers, consumers, and specialists. These forces are still working, but it is gen- erally agreed that we will get along better if we exercise some measure of luction, and Fall Paint Festival Costs Less Because it Covers More Surface! .

They are all aimed at controlling only one of these two factors, production. The effect in all cases is to limit the amount produced. Demand is apparently being considered somewhat as a ‘fixed quantity which cannot be regulated. If present attempts at control should all be successful, we would soon have a stabilized - present level of existing demand. That would be a great misfortune, for it would bar all further p: in our standards of living. Surely that is not a desirabf® goal for planning. To avoid this unhappy conclusion, we must insist upon a sharp differentiation between emergency measures and perma And we must recognize demand for what it really is, an elastic, fluid force reflecting the desires, feelings, and whims of a hundred responsive to suggestion, education, and guidance. It must not be put in a straight-jacket. In our future efforts to preserve a balance between production and demand, we should place less emphasis on production control and pay more attention to the regulation of demand. This kind of control can not be obtained through laws or agreements, but only by educating and persuad- . Forces which influence demand have been in existence for a long F time. One of the most important of them is advertising. Advertising leads demand into those channels where the economies of mass production can best be effectuated. It stimulates desires for those articles which industry is best fitted to produce. While it protects freedom \ of choice on the part of consumers, advertising educates demand and guides it along paths which allow production efficiency to be helpful to consumers. It thereby makes possible lower prices, greater prod standards of living. It serves to keep demand in tune ties of production.
