had the experience of buying or building something in a moment of impulse only to find that it was a poor investment of money or time because you Vied it only a few times a year Quite often the simpler pieces of machinery household gadgets or garments outlast those that appear more flashy at the start but require so much attention that you find yourself going back to the old standbys that aren't much to look at but get the job dons 1 0 r- About Spots Last week's mail irought in a question from Mrs Newitt East Ely Nev about removing oil stains and finger nail polish from wall paper Probably enough people share this problem with Mrs Newitt to make the answer of more than passing interest "Will you please tell me what I may use to remove oil---I believe fuel oil--from wall-pew also finger nail polish" Mrs Newitt writes When we first approached Floyd Millet paint and well-paper specialist with a Salt Lake firm for information on the problem his answer was lbot too encouraging "The best way to remove grease oil or polish from wallpaper is to remove the wallpaper" Mr Millet said Mr Millet amended this somewhat by adding that there are several cleanera ea the market for removing spots from wallpaper but where grease or oil is involved it is better to sal it under and put ea new wallpaper The reason for this is that the oils have a way of saturating the wallpaper oethomughly that even when covered by a fresh cost ing they'll bob up again through the new wallpaper The sealer which is advisable for use either an oil-stained woodwork or papered walls may consist of shellac silver paint or specially prepared clear resin or pigmented seal- ors (Mr Millet explained to me that "pigmented" means the senior has a coloring in it) he advises the resin sealers or shellac while 11 eoileA4ondinds Mrs Itertehmer vise if 'lees weep for Dr lawresee Nerds IS redeems beck beading defier chick feeding Dairy Diary 1 Better Buckets May Mean Bigger Checks for

sitting In on the annual meeting of the Utah Livestock Shows Assn at Abe Newhouse hotel in Sait Lake City The main purpose of the meeting was to set the dates for the spring summer and early fall livestock shows many of them junior shows to be held in Utah It has been my observation in the past that whenever you get a roomful of people discussing any subject regardless of how uncontroversial it may be you are likely to run across a certain amount of pulling and in other words a lot of dissension The point that impressed me was that these men all representing different shows in various parts of the state were able to work out their tiles and other problems with a spirit of unity that did your heart good This seemed to stem from the fact that they are all interested In the success of the association as a whole and the shows that operate within it Whenever a problem arose that seemed inimical to the interests sssociation the members expressed an eagerness to work it out to the beat interests of the entire group Conflicts in dates for example were handled in this manner The thought struck me that if our national and international Affairs could be handled with the same level-headed attitude displayed by our livestock association members we would live in a much more tranquil world Dy tow Sill We 1464 1141 Thee Only Rest Any future purchases should made with the idea that the best is none too good and of course with the thought that if the milk check is going to be for top grade milk the extra dollar or tivo paid for a stainless steel bucket strainer or milker lid is going to pay off in the long run Some health agencies are already cognizant of this and are asking that replacement be made without undue delay Their interest is in excess of consumer discrimination because if copper is showing the tinned surface has worn away leaving a rough surface that is hard clean And cleanliness is the watchword of the unitarian and should be shared by producer and processor in equal proportions It may be well for the dairy-- man to take stock of hiss equipment and if be has equipment that is detrimental to his interests to plan a program of
