Her editorial deals with safe driving. She says, in part: “What are you supposed to tell people when you want them to save their own or someone else’s life? It’s hard to think of any better slogans or pleas than have already been made by modern man. I don’t think everyone fully realizes the responsibility they are taking when they set forth in an auto mobile.” She tells of having witnessed a near-accident at a train crossing. She concludes with this statement: “There are not enough words in my heart to express my feelings other than to ‘drive safely and cautiously, please’.” • * • A statement which no doubt came as a surprise to many was revealed last week in the Central City Republican-Non-PareiL The paper revealed that the Union Pacific pays 15% of the coun ty’s tax load.

J |_Tips On Painting_ I qy Don’t forget to inspect the metal on your house! Whether you live in a wood or brick home, you still have plenty of valuable metal con struction that represents an ex pensive investment. Check it over in late summer or early fall before it takes its terrific winter beating. This protective problem is differ ent from any other on your house —rust. Rust eats away metal and . destroys it faster than an army of termites on wood. You can tame [ rust by proper painting. * * * Tame Rust paint products, made under U. S. Government Spec. TTP-636B, are designed to retard rust on new or old metal surfaces such as eaves-troughs, , drainpipes, casement windows, ex posed flashing, porch furniture, playground equipment, or any ox the metal used around a home. The finish coat is a gloss enamel, alkyd-type, which comes in six col ors: yellow, orange, green, red, gray and black. It is simple and easy to use and gives excellent protection. * * • First step: scrape loose paint, r—r-—I,.,,-. Paint doesn’t stick well to galvanized surfaces un less they have weathered about six months. For the scraping job, an end scraper works better than a blade where the paint is cracked but not peeling. Peeled spots usually have weathered sufficiently without fur ther scraping. • • m » | For the best results over a rusted surface, prime with a Tame ! Rust primer. Reduce the primer about 25% to insure a better, longer lasting job. The Tame Rust1 reducer has a specially formulated oil that actually absorbs the rusty surface. After the prime coat has dried four days or more, you can second coat the surface with the Tame Rust Finish coat. • • e To keep the metal on basement f windows from rusting out, scrub the dirt and rust with a wire brush. Paint the clean metal with the Tame Rust Primer; then follow up with the finish coat. When you start to put the metal on your house in shape, you might find holes already rusted out in gutters, downspouts, metal roofs or otner ex posed sheet metal. These are easily patched with house paint' and canvas. Cut a piece of fabric an inch larger than the I hole. Applyi paint to surface,press canvas over’ paint, then saturate the patch with more paint. Build up several thick nesses if necessary. Patch will i continue to remain strong with/ painting.
