Maintenance Of Roll Roofing Easily Handled By Handy Man By MR. FIX Distributed by NEA Service It you have a flat-roofed garage. lreh or car port covered with roll rooting, its maintenance is a chore that you can handle.- A "flat" roof usually has a slope of about V inch per foot to permit rain runoff,, so you'll hardly need mountain-goat agility to tackle the lob. Just watch your step. HERE'S HOW: ' Some people follow a yearly urogram of coating the entire roof with asbestos roof coating whether or not the impregnated felt needs renewing. On older roofs, where tiny cracks are likely to be nu merous, this is a wise plan. The liquid coating is easily applied witli a long-handled brush or an old broom. Leaks develop usually hen mil nor cracks in roll roofing are ne glected. Occasionally, you may find a place where the roofing is beginning to bulce. Cut the roofing at that point so that it can be flattened. Then cut Life In Bolivia Related By Former Oretech Instructor By RUTH KING The part that American dollars are playing in improved publicra lations between the United States and Bolivia, in better agricultural practices in that country, in 4-H Club work, education, public health service, road building, and development of sports, is outlined in a recent letter from a tor mer Klamath Fals man, Morris C. (Andy) Anderson. Anderson, an instructor for 10 ANDY ANDERSON vpiirs at Oregon Technical Insti tute, left here in March l'J."7 for a two vear stint in the South American country to assist in set Una nn a new educational institu tinii which is placing increased emphasis on agriculture. He was one of 33 educators in America to be named to the important work with the International Cooperation Administration. He left here in March 1957 His immediate superi or is also an American, w. n Sullivan, ex-professor of Oklahoma University. ices are offering help to the unini tiated who till the soil, and 4-H clubs are flourishing. Those under the program who work especially in the field of health, are doing a tremendous job in sanitation, Anderson states. For instance, Santa Cruz, an old Spanish C'ty of 30,000 to 40.000 persons, has no water distribution system, no sewer system, side walks or paved street. The city was isolated except for air travel until three years ago. Now, mis year, this part of Bolivia is con nected with the outside world by the only paved road in the coun try, put in by ICA and by a rail road, paid for by the Argentine government There are only 330 miles of blacktopped roads to date and few miles of even dirt roads Bolivia. Anderson is employed on the ICA building of a vocational agri cultural college in the Santa-Cruz area which win accommodate 200 students. The first full-scale class room instruction is scheduled for July of this year. Anderson was employed as a gas and diesel mo tor professor but his job includes co-direction of the institute, coacn ing all the sports programs, plus teaching a mechanics class and traveling over Bolivia to other schools as a trouble shooter. He has also taught the mechanics class for the SAI division. Teachers trained at the voca tional college where Anderson is located go to other schools in Bo livia to set up vocational pro grams. Each American under the program has a "national counter part" carefully selected for train- in" who wi.: be prepared wnen the Americans leave at the end of two years, to carry on the teach- g of American methods oi larm Society Honors Jedediah. Smith With every student who registers in school, a Communist is lost to membership. Revolutions are common, there having been three since Anderson arrived. At the time his letter was written, one was in progress with 5.000 Bolivian soldiers in Santa Cruz. Girls outnumber men seven to one in the city. A priest informed Anderson that there has never been a census and that 20 per cent of those living in the city have never been married and the percentage is greater in rural re gions. Chief mode of transporta tion is by ox cart. Anderson takes the Herald and News which arrives two months late. From 100 to 200 students and staff members of the school read it eagerly. Anderson has learned to speak Spanish. Letters will reach him in care of the Am?ricon Embassy, in two and one naif mile high La Paz, Bolivia. The Redwoods League is direct ng attention to the fact that the Del Norte County Historical Soci ety this week is honoring Jedediah Smith, the first explorer to pass through this region.- This is the 130lh anniversary of the coming of the white man to northwestern California and Southern Oregon, On June 1, 1828, Jedediah Smith and his party," recalls the bulle tin of the society, "were camped on a ridge north of the Klamath River, in what is now Del Norte County, and on successive days moved to the coast and along it. camping at the present site of Crescent City two days. Smith's accomplishments were not limited to the exploration of this region. He traversed Califor nia and "the Oregon country. Jed ediah Smith's importance." sum marizes the" Pacific historian, "rests not on a single accomplish ment, but on a dozen or more un believable achievements. Here are a few of hia firsts: He was the blazer of the southern and the cen tral routes to the Pacific, the Oregon-California trail, and the crossing of the Sierra Nevada." a new piece of roofing that is larger than the area to be re paired. Remove fragments of old roof ing at point of damage. It may be necessary to re move a small strip if the roofing is to lie perfectly flat. Trowel some heavy cement over the slit. Spread generously. While the cement is still wet, pluce the previously cut patch of roll roofing over the spot. Press firmly, making the patch as smooth as possible. Nail the edges of the patch, use galvanized or some oilier non rusting nail. Once the patch is nailed in place, i cover the edges with more cement. Cover nail heads, too. Smaller cracks can be repaired with heavy roof cement alone. Trowel in plenty to fill the crack and coat the area around it. Leaks can develop along the edges of a porch roof, where it meets the house. A coaling ot cement along both edges of the flashing at the joint will cure your troubles. A crack in the flashing can be filled with cement. If a portion of the flashing is damaged, try improvising a repair to save cost of replacement. A piece of sheet metal or rou roofing cut the same width as the old flashing will make a good patch. Cut tne paten longer man uiu part to be replaced so that it over laps the good flashing. Apply plen- ty of cement over, under and around the patch. Secure firmly witn rusiprooi nails and cover their heads with cement. Worksavcr: Pick a relatively cool, calm day in which to work. The hot sun keeps the cement from drying, makes your work slower. There's a CHEVY TRUCK To Help you da YOUR JOB Dugan & Hest CHEVROLET 410 So. 6th TU 4-3101 ine.

Milk Has Many Uses In Food Preparation There's many a way to get milk into meals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reminds homemak ers. Most people find milk a very refreshing beverage, so get their daily milk quota by drinking it plain. However, in cooking or oth food -preparation, there arc many ways to get milk into the daily fare, thus adding dividends in nutritive value and otten flavor as well. For more milk at break fast, you :an pour hot milk over poached eggs on toast. Use milk instead of water when cooking ce reals, following directions usually given on the cereal package. Slep up milk value in many foods containing fluid milk by add ing dry milk. Try this when pre narine souns. mashed potatoes, ce reals, and other cooked foods. If vou add four tablespoons of dry milk to each cup o fluid milk, you make the dish about twice as rich in milk value as wnen you k aione. Puddings and pie fillings made with evaporated milk will olfer more milk value it two or more parts evaporated milk are added to one p:irl ol water instead of the usual one to one proportion. Cream soups, creamed or scalloped main dishes, custards and other milk puddings also help build up milk in meals.
