Paint Follows Fashion Trends.
New Colors Are Much More Vivid

Planned For Privacy
Color trends in paint for the home
steps in line with the new vogue of
colorful hues in Fall wearing appar
el. Color in paint will attempt to
create atmosphere; give charm; and
satisfy moods. Paint men say that
ceilings are to be of very light colors,
which lends an extremely pleasing
KTect but, more Important in it
affords better reflection for eye com
fort. The 1938 kitchen will be painted in
much lighter colors and it will have
lovely, vivid color contrasts. Enam
el promises to be one of the more
popular contrast paints and it will
probably be used in many color combinations.
Exterior paints for wood, stucco,
concrete or brick will embody beauty
and protection. This type of paint
will act to enhance appearance of the
home and, as manufacturers claim,
the new paints are scientifically pre
pared to resist the ravages of inclem
ent weather. Manufacturers are also
now skillfully blending all paints to
conform to the high standard now
demanded for government buildings.

A number of building "bogies" have
been put to rout permanently by ad
vances in construction methods and
introductions of new materials devel
oped in recent years. Among them
is the idea that it is unwise to build
in the late Autumn or Winter.
Records of the Federal Housing
Administration's activities show that
many new residences were started
during the Fall and Winter.
Actually the reasons that Autumn
building has been unpopular in the
past were that dwellings built for
sale or rent came on the market at
a time when all renters were under
lease and when prospective purchas
ers had to be shown properties under
adverse weather conditions.
Freezing Weather
If concrete and masonry work can
be completed before freezing weather
sets in, so much the better, but even
freezing weather does not mean con
crete and masonry work must be
suspended or that it cannot be done
satisfactorily.
Reasonable care must be taken to
keep sand and crushed stone warm
before mixing and to protect finished
work by adequate covering or, in ex
treme cases, by salamanders or char
coal stoves. Ordinarily, it is best not
to push such work on days when the
temperature is below freezing.
When the masonry work is complet
ed the balance of construction can
be carried on readily. Plastering must
be watched and lumber protected from
snow and rain, but otherwise con
struction may progress without inconvenience.

Q. Last Winter we were troubled
by cold air that came in around the
woodwork of our windows. Can this
be remedied?
A. To a large extent it can be cor
rected. If the walls are masonary,
the joints between the masonry walls
and the window frames should be
thoroughly calked. If the walls are
of wood, shrinkage has probably taKen
place, and the joints in the wood niut
be calked. Tow or cotton candle wick
may be used as the packing, and this
should be mixed with white lead and
I packed in tightly. A commercial calb
ing compound may be used. If there
I are gaps back of the trim or wood
work around the windows, these
should be filled either with candle
wick or with plaster of pans. It is
better to stop the leaks on the outside
of the wall. By all means have a
contractor do this work if it is fi
nancially possible.
Q. The sills of the woodwork in our
house requires constant painting.
Why?
A. The sills are subjected to rain
and sun. A wax finish similar to
that used on automobile bodies will
protect the sills and save the paint.
Q. The putty holding my window
panes has cracked. Will a coat of
paint recondition the putty?
A. You should have new putty. Ee
sure and paint the new putty.
The half-wild hogs that roam the
swamp lands of Columbus county are
perhaps the best assistance county
officers have in finding bootleg whis
key stills, according to the Whiteville
News-Reporter.
Some prolific stills might never
have been discovered had it not been
for the appetite of the swamp hogs.
The swine dearly love mash, the
fluid from which the liquor is dis
tilled, and if there is a still within
several miles they are sure to find it.
By observing the actions of the no
madic hogs, the revenue agents are
often led to the scene of operation
and can destroy the still and perhaps
make an arrest or two.
The trail of the swam hogs often
takes the officers through a veritable
maze of vines, brush and under
growth, but the almost impenetra
ble trail often leads to a seizure and
arrest.
It might be safely said that the
swamp hogs are in no sense social-
minded or heroic in leading the "rev
enoorsv to the back-woods stills.
The "piney wood rooters" are con
cerned mainly with their own appe
tites and desires. Indeed, if they
pondered the fact that their assis-l
tance in leading the agents to the
still might result in an arrest and, I
consequently the termination of their
mash supply, they might be more hes
itant in their welfare work.
It is not an unusual sight for the
swamp hogs to cut all kinds of cap
ers alter they have feasted on the
mash from a still. Some people are
of the opinion that Biff ADrjle
ind ather acrobatic dances owe
their origin to the intoxicated swamp
hogs. We would hesitate to pass
judgment on this opinion

DANGER OF DECAY
Home owners, particularly those
whose houses are frame or shingled,
should be careful not to allow leaves
to pile up against the house. Left
long enough, the leaves will rot and
cause the wood to decay.
