SHINER GAZETTE, SHINER, TEXAS
CREEN5RMI0
By VIRGINIA VALE
Released by Western Newspaper Union.
MORMAN POWELL, son
of Dick Powell and Joan
Blondell, is the proudest little
boy in Hollywood. He’s wear-
ing sergeant’s stripes and a
decoration. Dick was telling
about it on the set of “Fading
High,” in which he’s working
with Dorothy Lamour and
Victor Moore. Seems Ser-
geant Elmer Taylor, sta-
tioned at Honolulu, who’s
been a fan of Norman’s parents foi
years, sent the youngster a small
set of stripes and a replica of the
Purple Heart which the sergeant
Joan Crawford has had such an
interesting career, carved out by her
own ambition and energy as well as
her talent, that we can look for her
to take another big step forward
now that she has changed studios.
Somebody said that Bette Davis
mp
JOAN CRAWFORD
would have to look to her laurels,
with Joan right on the ground, and
as willing as Bette is to play un
sympathetic parts if they’re good
ones. Just give Joan a couple oi
good pictures and she’ll have the boy
office eating out of her hand, as she
did in her palmiest days.

Danny Kaye, who will make his
film debut in Samuel Goldwyn’s “Uf
in Arms,” has accepted an invita
tion from the Entertainment Nation
al Services Assn., Inc., to make s
two-month tour of recreational cen
ters in the British Isles and Africa
Assignments for Susan Hayward
are stacking up these days. She’s
booked to play Loretta Young’s
younger sister when Paramoun
makes “And Now Tomorrow,” »
nice role, and Samuel Bronston has-
arranged to borrow her to play the
wife of Jack London in the. filn
based on London’s life, which he’l
make for United Artists release.
Michael O’Shea will play Jack Lon
don.

Sounds incredible, but we’re tolc
that Bob Hope’s nose, thanks to hi?
wise cracks, has become so famous
in England that a promontory neai
Torquay has been named “Hope’s
Nose”—that the comedian received
the news while he was still at wort
on “Let’s Face It.”
-tK-
George Reeves’ nose is sort oi
famous, too; it’s been broken seven
times. He’s the young man who
was snatched out of Westerns to play
opposite Claudette Colbert in “So
Proudly We Hail!'’ As for the nose
—he was a boxer when he went, to
Pomona Junior college—won the
Golden Gloves heavyweight cham
pionship of the city for three years—
and his nose was broken seven times

A perfect piece of casting took
place recently when Ralph Willever
was given the role of a sailor in
NBC’s “Just Plain Bill.” That was
his first job after he was rescued
from a torpedoed troopship off Ice
land, and was honorably discharge?'
as a result of disability.

Lionel Barrymore has inherited a
distinction that formerly belonged tc
Joan Crawford; when she left MGM
recently, she’d had a continuous con
tract longer than any other player
Barrymore is starting his 18th yeai
with the studio. His next picture
“Three Men in White,” will be bis
€3rd for Metro.

Years ago, when Rita Haywortl
was still a stock player, she report
ed for work one morning to Seymoui
Felix to dance as one of 40 girls
“This morning,” said he, “I wan*
you to think, act and dance like
Marilyn Miller.” The other day
she arrived for work in “Cover Girl’
and heard him giving orders to 40
girls. “This morning,” said he. “1
want you to think, act and dance
like Rita Hayworth

CLOGGED CESSPOOL
Question: Is there any chemical j
that can be used in a cesspool that!
is clogged and overflowing?
Answer; Nothing that is really j
practical. Trouble starts with the:
soaking of grease into the masonry j
walls, which prevents the liquids j
from seeping out to the ground. The!
surest remedy for that condition is;
to dig a new but smaller cesspool;
alongside, to be filled by overflow;
from the first one. Properly built-
this should last for many years
In building any cesspool, a greas
trap should be set into drain-pipe
leading from the kitchen sink, which;
will separate the grease and avoid
trouble. Of course, the grease should
be removed from the grease-trap
every three or four months.
Moisture in Basement
Question: I have a room in the
basement that once was used as a
coal shed, and the odor of moisture
still persists. Will you tell me how
to remove the odor, as well as the
moisture?
Answer: Scrub the walls and floors
with a solution of washing soda,
about a cupful to each gallon of hot
water. Rinse with clear water and,
when the surfaces are dry, sprinkle
a generous amount of chloride of
lime around the edges of the floor.
This chemical is an excellent de-
odorant. If dampness, but not wa-
ter, comes through the concrete, ap-
ply a coat of damp-proof cement
paint—the kind that comes in pow-
der form and is mixed with water.

“I’m homesick!”
Ripping a board with a ripsaw—
that is, cutting it with the grain—;
is no trick for this woman who has;
learned how at home repairs class.;
When she has completed the course,'
she will be able to do most any!
wood working job about the house.!
Closing Cracks
Question: Is there any material;
that could be applied to storm sash |
to prevent cold air from seeping;
through the cracks between the sash!
and window frames? Would Scotch!
tape applied around each window1 ^
last throughout the winter?
Answer: If the sashes do not nt
snugly, fill the open spaces with a'#^
paper pulp. To make this, tear a!
newspaper into shreds and boil in'
water for an hour or longer. Squeeze'
out the moisture and force the pulp!
into the cracks while still moist; it'
will harden on drying. When dry,!
the filler can be given a coat of
shellac to make it thoroughly water-;
proof. j
Rough Plaster
Question: My living-room walls,
are rough plaster, painted. How can;
I make them smooth for papering?!
Answer: Rub down the high points!
of the plaster with sandpaper; *
wrapped around a block of wood.!
The remaining low places can be
filled with a thick mixture of pow-! 4
dered whiting and glue size, put on! w
with a trowel. The walls should be /
sized before papering. j
Picket Fence
Question: In putting in a four-
foot high picket fence, to what depth
should the cedar supporting posts
be placed? I;
Answer: To be safe, set them
four feet in the ground. Although
cedar is resistant to rotting, it will ow
be an advantage to paint the under-
ground portions of the posts with
creosote or tar.
Preserving Birch Logs
Question: I have secured some
birch logs from the country which
I should like to use as a decoration
in my fireplace. Is there something
in which I could dip them to pre-
serve them and keep out the ants?
Answer: If you suspect that the
logs contain insects, sponge them
with kerosene. You can preserve
them by coating them with spar var-
nish. Get a clear variety so that the
wood will not be darkened too much.
Metal Kitchen Cabinets
Question: I have two metal kitch-
en cabinets that I should like to
change from ivory to white. Can I
do this successfully?
Answer: If the present finish is
in fairly good condition, first wash
the cabinets, then dull the gloss by
rubbing with very fine sandpaper,
wipe with turpentine, and apply a
coat of enamel undercoater or flat
wall paint. Finish with two coats
of a good quality white enamel. A
badly chipped and cracked finish
should be removed before attempt-
ing to refinish.
