Show fiRST AID to the theby S AILING HOUSE byS by Roger C. C Whitman QUESTION Is there anything I could put on my aluminum outdoor outdoor outdoor out out- door clothes line so that black smudges can be kept off the clothes Even after thorough wiping wiping wiping wip wip- ing it is possible to rub black blackoff off the line ANSWER After thorough t tho h o r r. o 0 u ug g h cleaning rinsing and drying give the line a coat of good spar var var- nish To get an even coat saturate a piece of cheesecloth with the varnish and wipe it on the wire Since there will be a great deal of friction the varnish gradually will wear off and the treatment must be repeated Instead of all this fussing why not use a good cord clothesline to be taken down and put away when not in use |
