In addition. USHA technicians es timate, these 160,000 projects homes into which low-income families will be removed from slum shacks and tenements, will require the use of about 400.000.000 feet of lumber; 3, 000,000 tons of sand and gravel; 8, 000,000 barrels of cement; 800,000 tons of gypsum plaster, and 1.500,000 gallons of paint.

Sour Milk Will Ruin Your Kitchen Sink It you spill sour milk on the kitchen sink, wipe it up promptly. Sour milk, fruit juices, vegetable and other acids will ruin enamel or por celain unless promptly removed." This is one of many helpful hints for housewives in United States Housing Authority low-rent public housing projects contained in "ten ant handbooks" distributed by local housing authorities. The booklets are designed to make housekeeping easier and to reduce maintenance ex pense. One issued by the Memphis (Tenn.) Housing Authority to ten ants of its "Lauderdale Courts" proj ect is typical. Amplifying the admonition on care of sinks and drainboards. this manual warns: "The porcelain of the sink and drainboard will not stand heavy blows from cooking utensils or other objects, and is easily ruin ed by hot skillets or by scraping utensils over it." Advice is given also on the care of floors, painted surfaces, plumbing fixtures, etc., and on proper use of refrigerators and ranges. .Yr??r Ford Cart Are On Hit play Here Tttday ?
