Summer is almost upon us and
some do-it-yourselfers” will be
sprucing up the old homestead
and various other possessions
with new layers of paint. Paint
brushes can become a problem,
but proper handling, when in
use and after, eliminates many
of these problems.
Selecting the proper-sized
brush for the job can prevent
the bristles from fishtailing
when bent outward from the
center in a fishtail form. Finge-
ing (bristles separate in fin-
gers) can occur when only the
side of a brush is used. Curling
occurs when the brush is stored
with bristles resting on the
bottom of the container, and
swelling when a brush is dipped
too deep in the paint. Difficult
to remove, the paint will hard-
en in the heel and swell the
ferrule.
After each use clean brushes
immediately and throughly.
With proper care the same
brush can do a multitude of
those paint jobs time after
time.

BUDDY’S WORKSHOP
Decks Are Good Investments,
But Require Maintenance
I’ve read putting a deck on your house will almost pay for itself,
but just about everyone I know that has a deck complains about
taking care of them. Between painting, staining, replacing rotted
steps, and mildew problems, I’m not so sure it's a good investment
after all. What’s your opinion?
Building a deck can many times add to the valueof your home, but,
like any outdoor structure, it does require a bit of work to keep it in
good condition. Remember that decks are made of wood (a natural
material) and are therefore susceptible to mildew and rotting. Wood
also has the ability to absorb humidity and rain. And, since it soaks
up sun all summer long and is covered by snow during the winter, it’s
no wonder maintenance is needed.
Today, however, homeowners have a multitude of products from
which to choose that make deck care much easier. Fungicides, clean-
ers, preservatives, and stains specially formulated for all types of
decking are available at most hardware stores and home centers.
There are also plenty of brochures, such as Deck Beauty Made
Simple, that are free for the asking. To obtain this one, call
Darworth’s Consumer Service Department at 1-800-624-7767 or 1-
800-228-7103 in Connecticut.
Is there some type of paint that isn’t slick? I need to paint a ladder
and I’m afraid if the ladder gets wet I won’t be able to use it.
By all means DON’T paint your ladder. Paint will hide defects or
cracks that can be dangerous. If you have to use something, use a
clear wood preservative or even linseed oil, but never use paint.
For the life of me I can’t get a knife sharp on a whetstone. Any tips
on how to at least get a decent edge?
Unless you take the time to practice, you may never get a good edge
on a whetstone. Try one of those scissor-type sharpeners, or one
where the knife is stationary and the sharpening instrument is moved
across the blade.

Two South County residents
will, be active on the executive
board of “The Mended Hears,
Inc." local chapter for 1968-89.
Robert Barclay, Rose Hill
Acres, was re-elected as trea-
surer, and S.M. Holcomb, Lum-
berton, was appointed as chair-
man of the New Member Com-
mitte, at the May meeting.
Others elected were Eunice
Davis, president; Gloria La-
rousae, vice president; and
Clydell Moore, secretary.
Installation of officers will be
held at the annual dinner June
21 at Monda’srestraurant at
6:80 p.m. Tickets for the dinner
will be available June 1 from
the Educational Dept, of St.
Elizabeth Hospital.
Prior to teh election, a study
on “Risk Factors of Cardio-
vascular Disease” was present-
ed by Alice Ashcraft, R.N. who
took the place of the scheduled
speaker, Dr. Michael Smith of
the S.E. Texas Cardiology
Associates, who was unable to
attend.
“There are 8 major risks,”
Mrs. Ashcraft told her aud-
ience, “smoking, high blood
pressure, and cholesterol levels
with obesity (overweight), lack
of exercise, and stress. These
are all managable," she con-
tinued, “but thoee that cannot
he changed are the heredity
factor, sex, race, and age. Men
have a higher risk at a younger
age than women, but later in
life all are just about the same
as they age. Blacks have a
higher risk than whites.”
To lower risks, Mrs. Ash-
craft suggested quit smoking
(the highest priority) perman-
ently; check blood pressure
regualrly, exercise daily, and
avoid cholesterol* in diet.
Education through these
kinds of studies is one of the
aims of the Mended Hearts,
Inc. locacl chapter. Knowledge
may save a life. Recently the
chapter gained knowledge of a
nelwy-discovered drug "TPA”
that disalves clots during heart
