Worse Than Gale Itself
Pouring Rain Greatest Danger
To Home If Wind Damages Roof
When a severe windstorm
damages the roof of a house, the
resulting dollar loss to the home
owner frequently is far greater
than the mere cost of reroofing.
The worst damage often is
caused by deluging rains that
almost always follow high
winds. Rain water pours through
the damaged roof into the
house, ruining interior paint
and plaster, soaking into the
vital framework of the house,
and saturating furniture and
clothing. In an extreme case,
water can cause fire by short
circuiting electrical wiring.
These are the reasons why
more and more home owners
across the country are taking
advantage o' wind-resis ant
'Winter Is Icumen In'
Is Your House Tight and Ready? >
Roof Should Get
Top Priority
In Checkup
Give first attention tc> your
roof when you make an inspec
tion tour this fall to get your
house ready for winter.
Here’s how to check a roof
to make sure it’s ready for the
long, rugged months ahead:
1. Take a flashlight into the
attic soon after a rain and look
for damp spots on rafters and
decking. These often indicate
that water is seeping through
the roofing material.
■* 2 Make the attic as dark as
possible and look for pinpoints
of light in the undersurface of
the roof. The light leaks can
mean water leaks.
3 Look at the roof from the
outside. It should be smooth
and flat without signs of wear.
If it has a worn, shabby ap
pearance, it probably isn t giv
ing the service it should, and
certainly detracts from the
looks of your house.
I If your inspection reveals any
1 of these faults, your next step
is to call in a reliable roofing
contractor for a professional
check. . • u A
If he finds the roof in bad
condition, he’ll probably recom
mend an entire new roof of
asphalt shingles. Why not make
repairs? Simply because an at-
Mineral Wool Ideal

Three types of mineral wool
insulation are available to the
home owner for do-it-yourself
insulation.
They are mineral wool
blankets, long rolls of insulation

and crawl spaces; batts, which

rooting materials and applica
tion techniques, especially in
exposed locations or areas sub
ject to severe storms.
Three principal methods of
applying asphalt shingles to re
sist winds are used with confi
dence by roofing contractors
from coast to coast:
1. Self-sealing method. Strip
shingles with a factory-applied
backing of adhesive are applied
with roofing nails in the con
ventional manner. The self
sealing adhesive bonds each
shingle tab firmly to the under
lying shingle.
2. Interlocking method. Using
asphalt shingles with a special
locking device usually tabs

tempt to repair an old roof
rarely works out satisfactorily.
A roof wears out uniformly
over the years. Consequently,
the spots not repaired are weak,
and are bound to show flaws
soon. Another reason is that
walking on an old roof to make
repairs often causes new leaks
to appear.
In addition, anew roof of as
phalt shingles not only will give
you and your family years of
trouble-free security, but will
do a lot to improve the appear
ance of the house, especially if
you choose wisely from the
many colors available.
Thousands of Families
Want New Roofing
Nearly 30 percent of 80,000
families interviewed nationally
by the Home Improvement
Council reported that the home
improvement they desire most
is anew roof.
The advantages of anew roof
of asphalt shingles go beyond
the obvious one of protection
from weather. This roofing ma
terial is economical and is
available in a wide range of
colors, textures, and designs
that make a house look better
and add to its value.

AGRICULTURE—BIG BUSINESS
Agriculture in the United States
buys more petroleum than any
other industry. It purchases 6,500,-
000 tons o ffinished steel a year,
buys enough rubber to put tires
on 6,000,000 cars a year, and uses
50,000,000 tons of chemicals annu
ally. These are facts presented in
a leaflet, “Building Agriculture is
Building Georgia,” prepared by the
University of Georgia College of
Agriculture Alumni Association.

roof is highly resistant to winds
and retains good appearance.
3. Hand application. Three
tab, square-butt shingles, the
most popular of all asphalt
shingles, are sealed down with
a spot of quick-setting asphalt
cement under each tab. The
cement provides a firm, wind

Fall Inspection
Can Save Fuel,
Boost Comfort
Many home owners fail to
realize that the house, like the
family car, needs to be “winter
ized” to get it ready for cold
weather.
If you want to be sure of more
winter comfort and economical :
operation in your home, here
are some of the most important
areas to check:
Insulation. For efficiency, in
sulation should surround the 1
house in a thick, continuous
blanket, with no holes or gaps.
If you aren't aware of the im
portance of good insulation, con
sider the fact that a thickness
of four inches of mineral wool
in the ceiling and at least three
inches in walls can save as much
as 40 percent annually on heat
ing bills.
Doors an.l windows. These
must fit tightly to keep heat
from escaping. Old windows and
doors that are loose, swollen, or
warped should be replaced.
Many styles of windows and
doors of ponderosa pine are
available from building material
dealers, including units com
plete with frame that go into
place at a minimum of labor
cost.
Storm sash. To be efficient,
storm sash and storm doors must
fit tightly to create a dead air
space. Modern combination sash
and doors are available in pon
derosa pine. These have readily
exchangeable glass and screen
inserts.
Caulking. A careful tour of
the house with a caulking gun
will save many heating dollars.
One villain that often goes un
noticed is the joint between
foundation and sidewalls. It
should be filled with caulking
compound. Other points to watch
out for are around window and
door frames.
Weatherstripping. Be on the
lookout for doors and windows
that have no weatherstripping,
or whose old weatherstripping
has become useless through wear
packing down, or loss of spring.

Although Mlßs Lyle chose
health as one of her projects
when she joined the Harrock

was not until her second year
that she decided to make it her
main activity.
She has since helped care for
a TB patient adopted by her club,
set up innumerable health dis
plays, and been a volunteer work
er (luring cancer and polio drives.
This year Miss Lyle passed her
first aid course. She has written
many news articles on health,
appeared on TV, and given talks
before 4-H groups throughout the
state.
Miss Lyle has held several offi

THEKI-’ IS ONI.V one unassail
able way by which the school seg

asunder and destroying the public
schools of the South.
CT ill That way lies
M "| in recognizing

H schools are local

of the individual states to deal with
each situation in the light of its

with unacceptable directives and
edicts; and in permitting local

THAT WAY CAN be paved hy
the submission by Congress for
ratification by the states of the
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States which I proposed
in a speech before the Senate this
week. It would read:
"Administrative control of any
public school, public educational
institution, or public educational
system operated by any State or
any other political or other sub
division thereof, shall be vested
exclusively in such State and
subdivision and nothing con
tained in this Constitution shall

ner in which any such school,
institution or system is ad
ministered by such State and sub
division.”
With such a provision in the
Constitution the nation would be
assured of continued instruction in
public schools for all children re
gardless of their color or place of
residence and the people of Georgia
would be assured of the right to
run their schools as they see fit.
Furthermore, it would allow order
ly change as desired by public
opinion and dictated by public in
terest and make certain that what
ever change took place would be
by the constructive process of evo
lution rather than the destructive
process of revolution.

THE VERY BASIS of our form
of government is, in the words of
the Declaration of independence,
that it derives its "just powers
from the consent of the governed.”
It was with a view toward invoking
our heritage of "consent of the
governed” to answer for all time
the question of control of the
public schools that I offered my
amendment.
The principle of local self-gov
ernment and local self-determina
tion is the cornerstone of our free
dom and there is not an issue in
our national life today to which I
would not be willing to apply it
without reservation. I cannot bring
myself to believe that any person
who sincerely desires to see this
disruptive issue amicably -•'solved
and who genuinely is concerned
about the welfare of all the chil

the amendment I have submitted.
