governmental buildings-all have placed the big panels over windows.

Usually the S/lGinch Plyscord (,sheathing) grad,e or /aor /(-inch Plywall (wallboard), quality.are used. As these grades are manufactured for interior use, they are placed on the inside of the panes Bnd usually overlap the casings. (Whenever plywood is placed outside the windows and is to'remain exposed to the weather for an indefinite time, only the Exterior (waterproof) type should be used.)

Simple to Install

In industrial plants small nails are driven into basings to hold the panels. Where the sheets must be removed, various ingenious methods have been followed. Probably the installation most effective is that of nailing a narrow furring strip on each side of the casing and placing turnbuckles near inside edges. Then the blackout panel can be slipped in place and held there by the latches.

Blackouts brought up a brand new problem around the home, too. And here again the big, rigid panels have been applied in innumerable instances. In fact lumber dealers have reported heavy aggregate sales for the purpose. They point out that plywood has double value because it can be re-used for dozens of household needs after the emergency.

First rooms to be given the "treatment" were kitchens and bathrooms because these are necessity-rooms in the morning.

One of the thoroughly effective and simple mea.ns of installing panels in the home without marring casements involves the use of masking bpe, a gummed paper tape an inch or more wide. If the panel is carefully cut to fit tightly inside the 'casing, lhe masking tape is merely put along all edges of the panel to hold it in place.

Holmes of Holmes Eureka Lumber Co., San Francisco, who recently returned from a five weeks' business trip which included visits to New York, Boston, Washington, D.C., and other eastern cities, reports that the present demand for Redwood siding will take all that can be produced.
