Here Are A Few Tips
For Amateur Painters
There is nothing painitable that
does net look better with a fresh
coat of paint. Paint and a sense
of humor may transform the drab -
est room inito a thing of beauty
and a joy forever (or at least as 1
long a time the paint will hold oat)
Remember this when bhe urge to
paint hits for you.
For the little jobs you do for
yourself read instructions an, the
can. For the big jobs consult a
reliable painting contraotor—it
pays in the end, • Stir the paint
thoroughly—thin it according to
the constructions on the can. Be
sure the surface is clean and dry
before Tainting. The perfection of
.the paint job depends on the paint
and the brush it is put on with,
Be sure you select the right one
for ••the purpose. If the surface
has not been painted before find
about "undercoats" aiad let the first
coat 417 before putting on the
second.
Color effects lighting. right
colors reflect more light than dark
colors. Flat fluishes are best for
large wall surfaces, high gloss for
woodwork, furniture and 'floors.
Semi -luster paints are excellent fel-
walls
arwalls of bathroom and kitchen
because they are easy to keep nice
and clean.
To Use Fast Cars
Hon. Gordon. Conant, attorney -
general of Ontario, addressing the
34th annual meeting of the Ontario
Motor League said that "adequate
new enforcement is a big factor in
preventing highway accidents,, The
atorney-general revealed that with-
in n month 46 motor cars, vanguard
of 125 which will go into service in
the nett time years, will be patrol-
ling the highways in place of motor-
cycles. He hoped the presence of the
cars which will be effectively mark-
ed ass pollee cars, would have a bens.
