Work You Do Before You Touch a
Brush Is the Big Secret in House Painting
In summer it seems thathalf
the Canadian householders be-
come housepainters and the
other half fence -leaning "sup-
ervisors".
Elven with the highest qual-
ity products the first rule of
painting still applies. There's
no such thing as a good paint
job on an unsatisfactory surface.
The weathering process
sometimes leaves the paint sur-
face powdery and chalky. Test
the amount of chalk by holding
a double thickness of coarse
cloth over your finger. Rub it
for a distance of eight or 10 in-
ches across the surface. If
enough chalk comes off to fill
the pores, it's too much.
Shiny -glossy paint is the op- R most of the chalk. But for best
results mix a batch of cleaner
from the following ingredients:
2/3 cup trisodiurn phosphate
(like Soilax); 1/3 cup detergent
and one quart of household
bleach. Add enough warm wa-
ter to make one gallon. Swab
this on the chalked surface and
rinse with a garden hose.
You can use the same clean-
ing preparation to get rid of
mildew and glossy paint. Swab
it on the affected areas and
rinse.
Popped nails have to be
driven home. If they won't
stay down, use the next size
larger. You will also want to
calk or replace cracked siding
or split shingles and fix joints
which have opened up in trim,
doors and windows.
Watch for signs of paint corn-
ing off. Look under windows,
along the bottom row of siding,
on trim, windows and doors.
Scaling, peeling or blistering
usually mean that moisture is
getting in behind the paint sur-
face. The trouble may be
minor — cracked siding, de-
fective flashing around the win-
dow frames, for example —
and the remedy obvious. But
whatever the cause it is well
1'•; worth your while to find it. A
serious moisture problem not
only lifts the paint but also re-
sults in structural damage even-
tually.
All peeling and blistering
paint must be scraped away. If
traces of paint cling to the
wood, sand them off. To be
on the safe side, work a little
beyond the area of obvious
paint failure. Apply a primer
to these worked over areas and
use a medium grade sandpaper
to smooth the edges of the re-
maining paint.
polite of chalking and is usual-
ly found in protected areas.
The surface is very shiny and
usually has a filmy coating of
dirt. Look for glossy areas un-
der overhangs and porches.
You may not recognize mil-
dew but you probably have it.
Mildew looks like ugly grey
dirt. But it is really a living
organism feeding on the dried
oils in old paint. If you paint
over mildew the new paint can-
not adhere well.
Dealing with chalk, mildew
and gloss, however, should
give you no trouble. A hard
stream of water from a garden
hose will often chase away

Department Action Doubtful
On Gr. 13 English Review
Continued from Page One
by the students in the 1364-65
year.
Mr. Madill said that for the
first time, English teachers had
been asked to submit their own
grading of each st:dent. These
gradings were supposed to rep-
resent 25,70 of the final marks
assigned to each st: dent. " Since
the marks released were so much,
at variance with the teachers'
judgment," said the principal,
"it would appear that the teach-
ers' submissfons ..srhavebeen
largely disregarded."
Even though the department
of education reviews the marks
and decides on higher figures,
the problem of university ent-
rance will not be solved in time
for many student: who now find
themselves with percentages
too low for admission.
Mr. Madill quoted the case
of one student in Grade 13 here
who would ha -,e achieved On-
tario Scholar standing with a
few more mars in English.
Of the 44 students who re-
ceived passing marks in English
at the W,D.H.S., the topmark
was 70070; 16 students weremark-
ed in the 60 -Th range and the
remaining 2" were graded down
from 60 to 50%. In addition, a
sizeable percentage must have
been marked below the 50%
passing grade.
Some authorities have ex-
pressed the suspicion that the
unexplainably low English marks
may have been caused by the
use of computers at some stage
of the marking process.
LATEP REPORT
Reports in Wednesday's pap -
McKenzie Bridge
Work to Start
Early Next Year
Town council met with auth-
orities from the Department of
Highways on Thursday to settle
details in regard to the new
span which will replace the old
McKenzie Bridge over the Mait-
land River on the northern edge
of town.
Highway engineers earlier
made changes in the design of
the structure, in an effort to
save on costs. While no accur-
ate figure on the cost of the
bridge has been released it is
believed it will amount to close
to $350, 000 including neces-
sary land and engineering. The
total will be subsidized to the
extent of 00 per cent of the
construction cost of the bridge
itself and 50 per cent on any
necessary land acquisitions.
Earlier in the summer coun-
cil was informed that the de-
partment would call for tenders
about mid-August and that the
contract would be let about the
first of October, However, on
Thursday the council was told
that it had been necessary to
delay the call for tenders but
this would take place shortly,
work to start as early as pos-
sible next year.
ers indicate that Mr. Alfred
Bishop, who is quoted above,
has retreated from his original
stand that "thousands" of ap-
peals had come in and states
that reports of astronomical
figures have been "overplayed".
In Mr. Bishop's,latest words,
"The number of appeals inEng-
lish apparently has increased,
probably a small amount."
There is no mention in the
most recent report that the De-
partment of Education will un-
dertake a general review of the
results in the Grade 13 English
examination. It mentions only
that routine appeals by those
who failed will be processed in
the normal manner. It is ex-
pected that the review of ap-
peals will be completed about
October lst---- a rather late
date for students who are seek-
ing admission to already over-
crowded universities. Dead-
line for appeals was September
1st.
The registrar is quoted as
saying, "The normal pass rate
for students writing English is
about 80 per cent. When all
the appeals are dealt with I'm
sure the average rate will be
about the same."
