BAREUTHER, Af Real tstoto Editor f An axmchair-h&ndyman-around-the-b0U6 can make more sense (and dollars, tool than an armchair-admiral or grandstand-umpire. Merely to know bow an oil burner works, or how many gal lons of paint will be needed over a given ares can keep you from being as vulnerable as the man who says to a garage mechanic: "Something makes a funny noise under the hood. Fix it." You don't have to be a Jack of all trades In order to live in a house: But it's worth real cash to know as much as you can about how your house is built, how it works, what it needs and why. Some people think an armchair handyman in funny. Walter Daven port In a recent issue of Collier's magazine, thought it was funny when this department "Wrote in classic simplicity how to save money by fixing things, but con cluded 'If you're not skilled at carpentry, it is safer to have a reliable carpenter.1 " WelL everybody enjoys a good Joke, but the householder spend ing his own wages far high priced materials doesn't want the Joke to be on him if he botches the Job or can't finish it. He'd rather take a Joke about being an armchair handyman, read up on how the Job ought to be done, and at least know what he is spending his money for. There Is no denying that In these days of high material costs and high labor costs, more house holders are tackling upkeep and Tr Jobs than ever before. iSTTwing this, many manufacturers are advertising directly to the public, instead of solely in trade publications. And they are stress ing the do-it-yourself angle by offereing booklets of instructions. It's too bad that sometimes some of these Jobs turn out slight ly weird, but some of today's pro fessional Jobs aren't so much better. A neighbor recently paid $250 to have asphalt tile laid on the. basement floor. That cost did not Include the material. The work was done so poorly the crew bad to return, replace broken tiles, "heat and flatten curled tiles and generally try to patch it up. For tunately the owner had not paid the bill before inspecting the work. A man who lived in a house of Identical size said: "I got a better job done for $35 and thought I was overcharged about $25, but we should have done it ourselves." And of course, they could have Ford Layoff Said Coming DETROIT OB Ford Motor Co. announced Friday it will lay off up to 72,000 workers after Friday, This will boost the auto Industry's idleness stemming from the steel strike to nearly 300,000 by Monday. Ford said it will close down its recently reopened Ford division as sembly plants across the nation at the end of shifts Friday and halt most operations at Its big Rouge nlant in Dearborn. It will try to reopen most of the plants a week later, the company said, but because of the steel fam ine "ao certain future operation plans are possible. done it. or at least understood how the Job should be done prop erly, by getting instructions from the manufacturer. In this case, full instructions on both installa tion and maintenance for asphalt tile, ruober, plastic, or cork tile could have been had for the ask ing from Kentile, Inc.. 58 Second Ave.. Brooklyn 15, N.Y. The most prolific source of practical information for the house holder is the Government Print ing Office. By writing to the Superintendent o f Documents, Government Printing Office, Wash inton 25, D. C, you can get a "Price List of Publications of Interest to Suburbanites and Home Owners." Ranging from 5 to 10 cents up to 50 cents or so, these publications not only are- practi cal and authoritative, but often form the backbone for many more expenseive books that are commer cially puDiisneo. Among the government publlca-1 lions is a very sound handbook ; entitled "Care and Repair of the ' House" by Vincent B. Phelan, published by the V. S. Department of Commerce for 50 cents. I News stands also provide some i helpful literature. "First Aid for the Ailing House." by the late ! Roger B. Whitman, was published j in paper bound form, selling for 25 cents. A magazine "The Fam ily Handyman," edited by Paul fie Pur, is published quarterly for 30 cents. Working drawings and ins true- Uons on how to build things are available at very nominal amounts ; through lumber dealers. And plans : and instructions on the use ot fiberboard and hardboards can be had without cost from the Mason ite Corp., Ill West Washington SI.. Chicago 2. III.. With the building trades fairly well occupied these days, there's a noticeable spirit of helpfulness toward the home handyman on the part of most artisans. For exam ple, a plumber was overheard in a barber shop the other day. saying "You dont need a plumber for that. I'll make up a length for you with a female adapter on one end and male adapter on the other end. You can take it home and put it in yourself." That's mighty ' fine. Isn't it? but you'd better sit down in that armchair again and read up on the male and female adapter. By EDWARD E. BOMAR WASHINGTON Wl The West- em powers have submitted to Rus sia a Big Four meeting proposal which American officials believe will test the sincerity of Moscow's demands for a unified Germany. The proposal, delivered Thurs day, calls for a meeting limited to the specific purpose of creat ine an Impartial commission to de termine whether free elections can be held throughout divided Ger many, This was the one new feature In identical notes from the Untied Stales, Britain and France which represented the sixth round in a wordy diplomatic exchange going on since last March, Moscow called then for an ur gent meeting of the occupation powers to take up again the broad question of makuig peace with a untiled Germany, a move Western diplomats at the time Interpreted as mere propaganaa. In the new proposals the west laid down once more the condi tion Russia must agree In advance that any general peace settlement be based first upon genuinely free elections in tne soviet zone, ano then to the creation of a free all German government which would have a voice in framing the peace treaty. Moscow thus far has sidestepped any such agreement and many dip lomatic authorities doubt the Kremlin will accept the latest terms. But the Western proposal left the way open for counterproposals, and American officials believe that In anv event Soviet reaction will be useful in guiding public opinion in this country ana in western Europe. mmm- 904 IHI rtllNOlT SU UNI Klemarh Ave. Phone 6076 FOR SALE WALKERS DRIVE-IN Properly, Bldcj., Fixtures $7000 A good buy.
