Show MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE Delta, Utah, Thurs., Nov. 16, 1950 Hardwood Veneer Cut Thin To Reveal Beauty of Grain The attractive wood grain pat-terns found in hardwood veneer are made possible by the thinness of each veneer sheet. The effects achieved cannot be duplicated in thick, solid wood. After sheets of veneer are sliced from a log, they are kept in order Eoth piece of wood retains the siime fjns.tinn it h:'.ri in the liv-ing t t'e - ,c , ' "i"';! sheets is p t ''red hi ,, , .L" .

S Department of Com-merce says: "Owing to the wide diversity of figure types and to the fact that adjacent veneers from the same flitch (piece of log from which veneers are cut) can be matched to make symmetrical designs, there is hardly any limitation to the variety of patterns which can be produced. "The art of matching veneers has been developed to such a high degree of perfection that the well-- , informed designer may obtain al--. most any desired effect and may realize the full value of every wood. Thus, the exquisite wood panels of modern homes, radio and television cabinets, or fine furniture, which we enjoy, are achieved. "In the process of matching, the veneers may have to be squared, or clipped at an angle, or cut into a number of small segments, or treated in some other manner, de-pending upon the result desired. S:nce each sheet carries a pattern almost identical to that of the sheet next to it, they must all be rut in exactly the same place. "Sometimes a third, a half, or in rare cases only a fourth of each sheet of veneer can be used, merely because only a small por-tion of its pattern would help form the perfect design needed for a beautifully matched table top or dresser front." Despite the thinness of hard-wood veneer, in its final form it is stronger than solid wood. The reason for this is that sheets of veneer are combined into hard-wood plywood. Full resistance to splitting and warping is a charac-teristic of hardwood plywood's cross-grai- n construction. Silver Alloys Copper is the most generally employed hardener for silver. Ster-ling silver, usually contains 7.5 per Icent copper, while 10 per cent copper- -silver is one of the important coinage alloys. j 1951 Wheat Crop ' A national average price support of not less than $1.99 a bushel for 1951-cro- p wheat has been an-nounced by the secretary of agri-culture. This is the same as the support level r.ow in effect for the 1950 crop. George Washington Carver It is not every artist whose paint-ings are valued at $4,000. It is all the more unusual when both the paint and canvas are made by the artist himself. Yet, it was the fam-- j ous European art gallery at Luxem- - ' bourg and also the Chicago World's fair which placed the price on these pictures painted by a man primarily known for his work as a research chemist George Washington Car- - ii ver. He made the paint from Ala-- ! bama clays and the canvas from cornstalk fibers. - Shopping IfSsals - FROM D. Stevens & Co.

Drip Edge Blocks Water The eaves of a roof can be given extra protection from the weather by application of a metal WeyS5" DBIPS0GS drip edge, which keeps water from backing up under the shin-gle tabs at the edge of the roof deck. As recommended for asphalt shingles, the most widely used roofing material for homes, the metal drip edge is made of corro-sion- resistant 26 gauge sheet metaL Galvanized steel, painted on both sides, ordinarily is used The drip edge should extend back 2 to 4 inches over the roof and 1 should be bent down over the ' eaves far enough to cover the edges of the roof deck sheathing Nails, placed as shown in the drawing, are spaced 8 to 10 inches apart. Metal drip edges of this kind also should be used to pro- tect a roof at the rakes. War Dogs Trainers of war dogs prefer anl- - mals that are capable of respond- - ing to intangible rewards, such as approval and disapproval, as well as to specific prizes. Dogs with lit- - tie sensitivity to either caress or correction are considered undesir- - able for military training. . French Dressing French dressing may be varied in flavor by substituting fruit juices, such as grapefruit, lemon, or pine-apple juice for vinegar. Leftover pickle juice mixed with a little to-mato juice may also be used. Early Day Loggers One of the most prized earthly possessions of the early day logger was his razor-shar- p ax. He swung It in the forest all day, honed it while swapping stories around the open campfire at night, shaved with It when he shaved and even took it to bed with him.
