If you are doing you own paintiitg be sure and discuss the project with someone of experience. And here are general hints for amateurs, 1, Don't forget to read the label on the paint can or to follow instruc- tions to the word. 2, Don't work outside in wet weather —immediately after a storm, or too early in the spring before wood has dried out, 3 Don't paint in very ,,g(I'd weather, as low temperature thickens paint and causes cracking. 4, Don't try to cover the surface all at once with one heavy coat; sever- al thin coats are better. 6.

Don't waste time and money by using poor paint for economy, If you belong to the group which dislikes cleaning orgies, you will find that the weekly care of,. specific rooms will not upset your routine too dras- tically, and you .can take the strictly seasonal jobs, like painting, as they come. If you belong to the other group, there are two ways to attack the big job you have set yourself. Take one room at a time and clean it and every- thing in it. Or, do similar jobs at the same time, cleaning walls and ceilings in two or three rooms in 'one session. s * * TAKE A TIP 1. The efficiency of your vacuum cleaner depends upon the condition of the dirt container. Empty it every 2 or 3 days!. In many models the end of the bag opposite the one at- tached to the machine can be open- ed. A dampened paper bag can be fitted over it and when the machine' is turned on, the dust swirls into the paper bag. 2. Do not push vacuum cleaner over pins and sharp articles which may pierce the dirt container. 3. Turn vacuum cleaner off when any- thing has to be moved out of the cleaning area. 4. Be a leisurely operator of a vacuum cleaner—a quick flight over does not allow the cleaner to pick up the dirt. 5. Adjust the cleaner on rugs accord- ing to the regulations of the mach- ine. In the tank cleaner, the pres- sure you exert makes the adjustment between high and low-pile rugs. On the motor-driven machine the brush should only touch the surface of the FOR OVER 30 YEARS the Canadian Co-operative Wool Growers — the wool growers' own organ. ization — have consistently brought in better re- turns to woe' growers.
