V V Kaysville - County Agricultural Agent Melvin M. Peterson Assistant Ellen Agren County-Age- nt Home Demonstration Agent Farmington, Utah wood Marred and surfaces, both furniture and floors, often spoil the looks of otherwise attractive homes, says Ellen Agren, home demonstration agent. New furniture and floor coverings are both quite high priced these days, but housewives can put new finishes on the old surfaces and brighten things up considerably at comparatively little expense.. A professional job can be done at small cost if the housewife has enough patience and perseverance to complete the work satisfactorily, uukjtlicrv is no shortcut to a good drab-looki- ng I job, she warned. You mUst be willing to work many hours, and see that you do each step well before beginning the jfihishing next. First you must remove the old finish, she explained. Use a good grade of varnish remover. Avoid use of lye, glass, or paint scraper. Apply the remover generously with a paint brush to a small area at a time and allow it to stand until the finish has softened enough to be lifted off with a putty knife. Have a good supply of newspapers handy so the old finish can be placed on them and destroyed. Use an old toothbrush, a stick or an sharpened lolly-po- p orange stick to clean carving. When all the finish is removed from a portion, thoroughly clean off all traces of the remover with denatured alcohol, the extension agent continued. If there are any shiny spots or places from which a light powder can be scraped some of the old finish is still present. All of the remover must be cleaned off or the new finish will not dry, dull-edg- daughters, Ilene and Janet, arrived here Saturday from their home in Byrum, Montana. They plan to spend the Christmas holidays with Mr A Mrs P. T. Sessions and at Plain City with Mrs. Sessions parents, Mr A Mrs John Gotch.

Christensen and Mrs. e, ,s Your County Speeds Agents DeLore Nichols cloth torn in strips is excellent to sand turnings with. Miss Agren suggested. First use as coarse a paper as the wood wil stand without scratching, then finer ones until the surface is as smooth as the wood will become. Woods such as mahogany, walnut, cherry, pine and curly maple, which hae a natural beauty of pattern and color, should be finished to show these charactersitics. No stain is needed unless a richer color is desired. Oil stains have little effect on hard, wood, so penetrating stains should be used. Tn recent yeard, a new type of finish for Doors, woorwork and furniture has come on the market and is better than varnish for much refinishing work. This new type of finish is known as penetrating wood sealer and is easy to apply and maintain. It seals the pores of the wood and gives a lustrous finish. Colored wood sealer can be obtained, making it possible to stain, seal and finish all in one operation. ' The sealer is applied with a lintless cloth. It drys quickly, so does not collect dust as does varnish. It does not scratch so easily as varnish and penetrates into the wood pores better. After the wood has been thoroughly sanded and repaired, dust it and apfcly the sealer with a cloth. If the sealer soaks into the wood at once, apply more so that the wood will take all it can Birth Date Noted By Layton Woman Kaysville, Davis County, Thare., Pec. 25, 1947 LAYTON Mrs. Harriet Emily John Hodgson, Layton, widow of 80th Hooper on March 28, her celebrated Hodgson, first made their home in birthday anniversary Monday at her home.

Miss Agren said. Those that contain wax and those that do not. Those with wax give a Hat or very soft lustre; those without wax have more of a character of varnish and dry with a higher lustre. For furniture, most persons prefer the ones that give a high lustre. Read the label and ask questions of the salesman to get the best one for your use. Buy wood. d a heavy grade for The wax type sealer usually is applied and left for 20 minutes to an hour to penetrate into the wood, then the rest is wiped off. The other type is usually put on and left to dry, then rubbed down with steel wool. Apply enough coats, usually from two to four, to get a good finish. Most brands recommend that a hard waterproof wax be applied over the finish. The finish that penetrates into the pores of the wood does not show scratches as does a surface finish. If you wax the piece, you may need to replace the wax occasionally, If a worn spot appears, it can be repaired by applying some of the sealer, after any wax that may have been! put on has been cleaned off with a cloth dipped in turpentine, Miss Agren explained.
