TIME WAS when a little rain on washday
threw many a homemaker into a tizzy. Now.
• it’* so easy to get the laundry “bone dry’’
— rain or shine — with a flameless electric
clothes dryer.
Clothes dried electrically look so much
better and last longer. Gentle tumbling in
radiant, even heat pampers your washables,
makes them fluffy-soft and sweet-smelling.
An automatic electric clothes dryer is a
real wifesaver, too. It banishes forever the
stooping, stretching and straining that would
tire a weight-lifter.
And the electricity that runs your clothes
dryer is such a bargain. Through the years
the trend in the average price per kilowatt
hour has been downward.
No woman wants to be tied down by a
clothesline. So, for a worry-free washday, go
modern with an electric clothes dryer.

Mr. Motorist
Owns 82 Feet
Paved Highway
Every American car owner
is a stockholder in the nation’s
3-1/2 million - mile highway
network: sharing in the re
sponsibility for its upkeep and
claiming a portion of its bene
fits, says M. L. Shadbum,
Chief Engineer of the Slate
Highway Department of Geor
gia.
Commenting on the coming
observance of National High
way Week, May 21 through
May 27, Mr Shadburn said that
when Mr. American Motorist
shares this 3-1/2 million miles
with 75 million other vehicles,
his portion amounts to 244
feet, of which 82 feet are
paved. The average driver, Mr.
Shadbum added, knows very
little about his 82 - foot sec
tion of paved road — what it
costs to build and maintain it.
New, his 82 feet may have
cost anywhere from 8400.00 to
$100,000.00, depending upon
type, location, and capacity;
and Mr. Motorist needs all
types — rural roads, city
streets, country lanes, and
huge freew’ays.

mainly through the taxes
which he pays when he buys
gas for his car or truck. He al
so makes payments in t h e
form of license and registra
tion fees, federal excise taxes,
taxes on auto accessories, and
property taxes on the auto it
self. Based on a national aver
age, the cost of owning an au
tomobile is $973.00 per year;
of which $117.00, roughly 12
cents out of each dollar, goes
into the building and main
taining of highways, roads and
streets.
The tax which the motorist
pays on his gasoline is one of
| the fairest taxes which he will
‘ ever pay. Seventy - six percent
: of America’s families own cars
and thus pay gasoline taxes al)!
during each year. In fact, more
individuals pay gas taxes than I
pay income taxes. Unlike many |
other taxes, how much he will'
pay depends directly uoon how,
much he uses the facility sup-'
ported by the tax.
Os every tax dollar taken
in for the road program, about
60 cents goes for new construe- i
tion, 23 cents for maintenance i
and repair, and 17 cents for ad
ministration, police service, and
debt retirement.
Because highways, like
everything else, wear out, be
come overcrowded, and “go
out of style” insofar as design
standards are concerned, our
highway system must be con
tinually repaired and expand
ed to meet Mr. Motorist’s needs.
“We feel that if the motor
ing public is fully informed re
garding our problems and

KEEPING THE WHITE IN
NYLON FABRICS
Research on fabric whiteness
has resulted in the develop
ment of certain principles of
care which should be of val
uable assistance in helping us
; preserve the pleasing white
i ness of nylon articles.
Discoloration of nylon fab
। rics occur for several reasons.
Inefficient laundering methods
j that don’t remove all soil is
। one of the main reasons. Soap
i deposits on garments washed in j
hard water without a water
softner is also a factor. Add to
this list the use of excessive
heat during drying or ironing
and the transfer of dye to white
nylon during the laundering of [
I White nylon — like any
white material — should be
laundered only with white ar
ticles. Probably the most im
portant consideration in wash
ing white nylon apparel is that
garments should be thoroughly
washed, preferably after each
wearing. Frequent washing of
home furnishings such as
sheets, slips, and pillow cases
is necessary to maintain a
pleasing white appearance.

Paint and Wood
Is Source of
'Modern Look'
Paint on wood is a prime
source of the “modern look.” ।
With a fresh coat, many of
our older homes may appear
almost as new as their young
er contemporaries.
Such acts of “rejuvenation”;
should be easy and infrequent.,
Repainting requirements can
be greatly reduced if the house!
is well built to begin with.
As this indicates, the per
manence of a paint job depends
on factors other than the qual
ity of the mixture. Above all,
it’s important to have a tight
house and one where moisture
problems are minimized.
The best way to assure tight
ness in a home is to form the
structural framework with,
“pre-shrunk” lumber, the
Southern Pine Association says. •
Lumber whose size is stabi-I
lized by proper seasoning pro-'
vides snug joints and perman-!
ent nail holding strength. Os!
equal importance is the fact i
that lumber acquires a dry’
condition while being “pre - ’
shrunk.”
Tests by the U. S. Forest |
Products Laboratory at Madi- ’
son, Wisconsin, have proven
that paint lasts longer when
lumber is dry. Therefore, t h e,
surface siding should be pro
perly seasoned as well as fram
ing lumber and wood sheath- .

ing. When such items are of I
grade - marked Southern Pine,
the user has assurance that the
lumber is dry and pre-shrunk.
Ends of siding should be cut
square and adjoining boards
butted tightly together. Joints
where siding fits against cor
ner board should be tight. A
sealer coat should be applied
at ends to seal walls against
rain.
A wide roof overhang is an ■
attractive architectural sea-j
ture. It’s also an excellent de- j
vice for protecting paint against j
sun and rain. Where the over- i
hang is less than 12” for a one
story house, or 24” for a two
story, roof gutters should be >
provided, with adequate down- J
spouts.
Where such precautions are
observed, a good quality dark
colored paint should last at
least 6 to 8 years on Southern
Pine siding, probably longer.
