this current, weak transitional
period Tradable stocks of
jumbos and extra large bur
densome, large liberal although
fancy large are nearing workable
levels Mediums tight locally but
reported readily available at
some country points. Smalls
adequate. Demand is quiet with a
wait and see attitude prevailing.
Best interest centered on large

Small cracks in plastered
walls are repaired with a
dry plaster patch compound
that you mix with water.
Mix only what you need im
mediately since it dries
quickly. Start by making the
existing crack larger and
chip away loose pieces
around the edges. Undercut
the sides of the crack with
a chisel or knife, making
the bottom wider than the
top. This prevents the plas
ter from falling out when it
is dry. Wet the area before
applying any new material.
Force the patching material
in with a trowel or putty
knife, but do not fill com
pletely. Leave a %-inch de
pression and wait for the
phtch to dry, then wet the
area again and apply a fin
ish coat of plaster level with
the old surface. Smooth it
with a trowel.

Fix-It Tip
Fri,
FEEDING THE ANIMAL is not only permitted but
encouraged at the Children’s Zoo on Detroit’s Belle
Isle. The gaping lion tops a trash container for an un
usual “Keep Your Zoo Clean” touch.
