Maintenance Of Roll Roofing
Easily Handled By Handy Man

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

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

nected with the outside world by

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

With every student who registers

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

it eagerly. Anderson has learned

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

cool, calm day in which to work.
The hot sun keeps the cement

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.
