Faded Home Fabrics Easily Rejuvenated
Faded draperies and slip covers can be rejuvenated by dyeing to a deeper shade or, for color changes, by removing old color first and dyeing anew. If dyeing isn’t desired, flip draperies to hide faded parts or move sun faded pieces to sunny walls for better effect. Old tablecloths can become place mats by bright dye and simple hemming.
Proper Planting Builds a Strong Lawn For Spring Seeding
Spring and fall are good for new lawns with spring favored when annual weeds are heavy.

New Drying Oils Break Through in Varnish Making
In the drying oils field wartime shortages spurred molecular modifications to reproduce properties of imported oils. Dehydrated castor oil mimics tung oil with no yellowing and no odor. New formulas using synthetic resins dry faster and resist water. Reoriented molecules of linseed, soybean, and cottonseed oils improve performance, and petroleum derivatives now yield superior varnish results.
