A reader asks how to free a jammed drawer in an expensive dresser. The House Doctor recommends drying the wood with lamps, removing the drawer if needed, sealing with shellac, then lubricating surfaces and possibly trimming bottom edges. If necessary, remove the back of the dresser to free the drawer, then reseal.

Family operation leads scrap metal recycling effort in Vermont
In a joint venture Gates Salvage Yard of Hardwick and the Vermont Highway Department collected about 1000 tons of scrap metal from the Richmond Jonesville Huntington region since early April. Vehicles were crushed and shipped to the Boston area for processing at no cost to towns, with Gates supplying equipment and the highway department covering minor admin costs. The Gates family operation, led by Ed Gates who has run salvage since 1940, leveraged wartime experience to expand metal recycling and reduce local burdens on roadside development engineers.
