Walls Should Be Prepared Properly Before Painting
About 99 per cent or all paint1
failure! arc caused by improper
preparation of tbe surface to be
painted.
According to Pauline Gordon.
State College extension specialist
in housing and house furnishings,
the most Important step in painting
Is preparing the walls so that the
paint will have a solid foundation.
After you've thoroughly cleaned
the walls and Ailed cracks, you'll
need to prime and seal them. This
insures you of an even penetration
of the Anish coat preventing light,
dark or shiny spots.
Miss Gordon explains that prim
ers and sealers may be clear or
pigmented. To determine the prop
er undercoating for a wail Anish,
use the undercoat recommended by
the manufacturer and fol-ow the di
rections for applying it.
The undercoat can not be touch
ed up by applying a second coat to
?pots. The entire surface must be
covered from one natural break to
another (from corner to corner and
from baseboard to celling).
Actually there ate three types of
wall primers: clear type varnish, a
pigmented primer and shellac.
There are also three tools for
applying paint: A spray gun, roller
and brush. The spray gun is least
used by home owners because it
requires special skill to operate it
A roller puts on a uniform Aim of
paint, does it rapidly and easily.
As for brushes, the best are made
of Imported hogs hair. However,
the nylon brushes have been Im
proved and will now do a good Job.

Parking Problem
CHAMPAIGN - URBAN A. 111.
(AP) ? Prof Charles H. Bowman,
chairman of the University of Illi
nois Traffic and Parking Board,
says the campi^ needs 2,000 more
parking spaces.
He figures that cost per space
is about $750 which would amount
to $1V$ millions and no such funds
are available, he My*.
Among suggestions are: charge
for parking, prohibit students
from operating cars, or impose a
partial ban whereby student cars
would be prohibited from parking
on University-owned streets.

Looking Sharp
CINCINNNATI (AP) ? On*

determine the sharpness of knive*
The TV set inspects chrome
scraper blades used in litho
graphy coating machines. It mag
nifies the blades" thin edges 288
times so that Inspectors can check
for tiny imperfections. Previously
inspectors looked at the blades
through an ordinary microscope.

manager and originator of this TV
usage, said inspectors get tlje Job
done twice as fast and with more
accuracy.
The inspector moves the blade
slowly through a holder under the
