A self-polishing wax is recom-
mended by the Home [imwiistra-
tirni Agent for a protective coating
rather th;in paste wax. She pom'.,
out that the Ii<|uid used in thinninc
paste wax causes insretitents hi
asphalt and rubber tile to soften
which results in swelling and
pitting of tne Floor.
Avoid applying lacquer, varnish,
shellac or so-culled "plastic" fin-
ished to asphalt or rubber tile
floors, urges Mrs. Cunningham.
Ifc'ti't use strong soap or caustic
solutions.
Instead use a n ii Id soap or syn-
thetic detergent and rinse the floor
thoroughly after using them. Com-
mercial floor cleaners can be used
where colors are bleeding. Where
'he floor has become pitted slight-
ly, a number 1 or number 'i steel
wool can be used to cut the floor
back to where it is hard and has
a sheen.
When this is done, however, Mis.
<'unmngham cautions against rub-
bing too deeply.
School Kids Select
Glamour 'Faculty'
HOLLYWOOD
Students of
public schools in Hollywood are
as affected by their close associa-
tion with the world of glamour
as thair adult parents. While Mam-
ma and I'apa are writing fan letters
to their film favorites requesting
autographed photographs. Junior
express his fasa nation for the
movies in a different manner.
The students of North Hollywood
Junior High School, in their stu-
dent periodical '"The Skyline," have
named fifteen screen stars they
uould most like to have on their
"ideal faculty."
While parents may chuckle at the
selections, it is doubtful if the
%jSuitiYourselfJo Fashion
Board of Education would approve
the following choices:
"Principal: Jerry Lewis."
"Girls'Vice Principal: Dean Mar-
tin."
"Boys' Vice Principal: Ester Wil-
liams."
"Girls Counsellor: Farley Gran-
ger."
"Boys' Counsellor: Shelley Win-
ters."
"Girls' Physical Ed: Howard
Duff."
"Boys' Physical Ed: Dagmar."
"French: Corinne Calvet."
"Spanish: Leo Carillo."
"Algebra: Red Skelton."
"Social Studies: Groucho Marx."
"English: Judy Holliday."
"Oral Arts: Sid Caesar."
"Journalism: Milton Berle."
"Music. Gary Crosby."
After being informed that he!
was selected as "Principal," Jerry'
Lewis, soon to be seen in a bit of
nautical mayhni titled "Sailor Be-
ware" for Paramount, announced
his "Code of Conduct."
"School hours," declared Jerry,
"will be from one o'clock in the af-
ternoon unitl two p. m. Allowing
for the usual one hour lunch at
that time, this makes a long but
fruitful day. Parents will be re-
quired to submit cards to students
and will be flogged unless they get
a straight "A". Teachers will only
speak when spoken to by the stu-
dents and the school restaurant will
feature banana splits evclusively."
