There are two methods of re
moling the old finis'.:. A lye solu-
tion made of one can of lye to the
gallon of water is applied with a
•tiff brush. The paste made of 4
tablespcons corn starch cooked
-with 1 quart of water to make a
•paste, with 2 tablespoons lye dis-
solved in 1-2 cup '.old water add-
ed. may be also used to soften the
paint which can he scraped from
the wood.
After using either the paste or
-the solution for removing the fin-
ish. the wood should be thoroughly
rinsed with plenty cold water, fol-
lowed by a vinegar solution to
neutralize and stop any action of
"Tfie ly" on the wood. This is made
by adding 1-2 cup vinegar to one
gallon water.
When the wood is thoroughly
•dried and sanded, it is ready for
iSse finish of paint or varnish.
In Delta County this year, 113
pieces of furniture have been re-
finished by club women, who used
one of these methods.

Every street demands a gritty, non-skid surface

fered. It is built in only one size—
one standard of roomy comfort and
modern appearance. But you may
have cither the improved 85-horse-
power V-8 engine for maximum per-
formance—or the new 60-horscpowcr
V-8 engine for maximum economy.
The smaller engine makes possible a
lighter car — lower operating costs
— and a lower price.
When you drive the 1937 Ford with
the 85-horscpower V-8 engine, you
are master of a power plant that
gives everything you can possibly
demand in speed and acceleration.
Today, improved carburet ion enublca
it to deliver its thrilling perform-
ance with unusually low gasoline
consumption.
The new 60-horsepower V-type 8-
cylinder engine delivers V-8 smooth-
ness ami quietness—even at speeds
up to 70 miles an hour—with gaso-
line mileage so high that it creates
an entirely new standard of economy
in modem motor ear operation
We invite you to see this new
Ford car, and arrange to drive one
equipped with the engine that fits
your needs.
