THE RUSK CHEROKEE AN, THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1948
Gives Advice On
Paint Protection
Painting a house or a barn does
make it look nice, but the real
TM%on behind painting is to pro-
tect the building. If your home
•r farm building has not been
UMunted during the past four or
fUre years, now js the tim^ to tend
t* that job, says W. S. Allen,
extension agricultural buildings
engineer of Texas A&M College.
Te let the job go any longer
Aeans that the surface of the
aiding may need more careful and
e*| ensive preparation for repairit-
Local conditions play an impor-
tant - part in the selection of
paints. For example, in warm,
humid climates harder types of
paint that contain larger amounts
of zinc oxide usually stand up bet-
ter than soft paint. And in the
■extra dry sections, it is the other
•way around. Soft paints contain-
ing: mostly white lead are better.
There is a good supply of i eady-
mixed paint of high quality to suit
]«cal conditions, and it can be
had in nearly any color.
Allen says tc remember that a
paint job is no better than the
application. A good painter will
-take off all the old loose paint
and make sure the surface to be
painted is dry before he starts
his job. Even the best paint will
fail if it is applied right after
a shower, or in foggy, humid
weather.
One of the important things to
do before starting a paint job is
fee sure the paint is mixed right.
Too much oil causes the paint to
<bry slowly, get dirty and fad«.
And, not having enough oil caus-
es the paint to wear off rapidly.
Cracking is caused by hard, quick
drying paints. Wrinkles in the
coat of paint are made by improp-
er brushing of heavy, oily mix-
tures. Too much thinner in the
paint or not enough coalb will us-
ually cause chalking.
Two coats of paint is all right
when the surface is in good con-
dition and most of the old paint
remains after sanding, brushing
and scraping. Otherwise, says Al-
len, three or four coats are need-
ed. The cost might be more, but
you can rely on having a more
lasting, satisfactory job.
Soil Conservation
Veterans enrolled in the Wells
vocational agriculture' class are
concerned about soil erosion on
their farms. Soil conservation
service conservationist assisted the
following men in this class plan a
complete conservation program on
their farm: James G. McGuire,
Fred Abshire, William H. Hodges,
John M. Monday, William and
Jack Byers. It is the aim of these
men to treat each acre of land on
their respective farm according
to its capability.
Members of the Summerfield
and Wells veterans vocational
agriculture class visited W. G.
I>ominy's farm near Alto this
past week. The purpose of this
was to observe conservation work
that has been done on this farm.
Emphasis was placed on proper
land use and treatment of the
land.
J. B. Roark, a member of the
Mixon conservation group, has
recently applied phosphate to a
large acreage of pasture and mea-
dow land. Mr. Roark is doing a

R. G. Bobbitt plans to cut seri-
cea lespedeza for hay on his
farm this week. Part of this mea-
dow is two years old and part of
it is 3 years old. A fair yield of j
good hay is expected.

of kudzu. Mr. Warnick set out j
his kudzu this spring.

SCOUT NEWS
(Nineteen Rusk Scouts were pre-
sented their second class badges
before a proper court of Honor on
Friday night, May 7th.
The badges were presented to
Scout Master, E. C. McLeod, by
Mr. Rebel L. Robertson, from the
East Texas Area Scout Office,
Tyler. Scout Master McLeod in
turn presented the badges to the
following scouts: Harold Cowart,
Tommy Andrews, James 'Smith,
Johnny Marshall, Bill Bolton,
Jerr/'Williams Bill Speake, John
T. Thompson, Charles Heald, Jack
Lucas, Victor Manning, Robert
Shattuck, Bernie Ogden, James
Jared, John Mehner, Kenneth Sim-
mons, Robert Henry, Jimmy
Blankenship, and Edward Creel.
Jackie Bryan Ellis was pre-
sented a tenderfoot badge and
commended for his participation
and interest. His age prevented him
from receiving the second class
badge, even though he has passed
all requirements. Rusk Lions
troop No. 405 enjoyed the scout
circus held in Jacksonville last
Saturday night. Rusk was the
only troop with every member in
uniform.
Harold Cowart was the only
member absent from the circus.
This was because he had to attend
the Junior-Senior Banquet.
You are missing seme fun if
you are eligible and do not belong
to the scouts.
John W. Watson, Jr. of Route
4, has recently graduated from
the Air Craft Welding course at
Chanute Field, Illinois. Prior to
attending this Air Force Training
Command School, he was station-
ed at Hensley Field, Dallas, to
which station he will again be as-
signed.

the other hand, with a completely
modernized water system about 35
gallons per person per day is used.

FRIGIDAIRE
FRIGIDAIRES are rolling off the assembly line
in ever increasing numbers.
FRIGIDAIRE is consuming sixty railroad car
loads of raw material daily.
We have just seen the new 1948 Frigidaires. Be-
lieve me, they are priced right, and above all,
sold with a five-year guarantee that will be ful-
filled.
(Not a single Frigidaire Product was out of
operation in Rusk trade vicinity for twenty-
four hours - even during the war - for a me-
chanical breakdown. No other manufacturer
can make that statement.)
There will be-no need to buy "Just Any Refrig-
erator" when you are wanting a Frigidaire.
