NEVINS SCORE HIT
WITH ENLARGED STORE

It didn't take Mr.. and Mrs. Jack
Nevins very long to get going
About two years ago they start
ed out in a modest location at 3017
E. Speedway, vending line of
hardware, builders supplies, ETC.,
to the neighborhood.
But their line of goods, which
includes plumbing supplies, sports
goods, paints, household items,
and toys, evidently has unusual
quality plus economy. Soon the
word began spreading all over
Tucson that the Nevins' State
Hardware and Supply Co., was
really the place to go for values.
Business kept on increasing and
so the other day the public was in
formed of the opening of the big
ger better State Hardware and
Supply, at 3013 E. Speedway.
Mr.. and Mrs Jack Nevins, who
live at E. 5th, are former Cleve-
landers, having come here about
four years ago. They are espe-
cially proud of their two children,

l was startled the other day to
hear a friend of mine casually
mention that she thought she'd
make a comforter to harmonic
with the color scheme of her bed
room. I was particularly sur
prised because she has one of
those outsize, double beds, and as
l remember quilting from my
childhood, it was quite a complex
deal to make one for an ordinary
size bed, involving sort of frame,
vaguely akin to a curtain stretch
er, layers of wool or cotton bat
ting, two sections of covering,
yarn for the knots and usually
several of the neighbors invited
in to help.
It seems to me there were a lot
of Skills practiced in those days
which have apparently fallen out
of favor for one reason or another
and it was certainly my impress
sion that quilt-making was as
passe' as chrocheting lace. How
ever it is true, a warm comforter
on bed even in a Tucson winter
is a pretty practical kind of thing,
whereas the yards of chrocheted
lace we used to put on our cami-
soles (remember?) would surely
strike an anachronistic note on the
lingerie of today.
almost suggested to my friend
that she have a quilting bee some
fine afternoon, but suddenly re-
membering a party I had a few
years back in which l revived an
old fashioned custom dating from
the same era, I thought better of
it. had been casting about for
something different" in the way
of a party, for all the world like
Sinclair Lewis'S Carol Kennicott,
and I came up with what seemed
to me a marvellous idea. / would
have Taffy Pull! My husband
looked little doubtful, but put
ting that down to pure masculine
conservatism, I plunged ahead
with my plans, and what I learn
ed about taffy pulling was that
adults should stick to Bridge or
Twenty Questions.
The guests were enthusiastic,
at least for time, the taffy look
ed, Smelled and tasted exactly as
it had when I was ten years old,
but to say the party was fiasco
would be to make an understate-
ment.
Weeks later 1 was still finding
blobs of unfinished, sticky taffy
on the rugs and furniture - but
that was a small matter compared
with the real catastrophe which
proved to be both emotional and
economic - because before the
evening was over, five of the
twelve persons present had either
pulled out filings or inlays from
their teeth while eating the darn
ed candy, and one dignified gent
had managed to break off a Sec
ton of his very elegant, very ex-
pensive and very new bridge
work!
1t could be l overestimated my
aptitude for making taffy, but I'm
really inclined to think it is just
what comes of trying to revive
the good old days-so while I'll
listen to the song about Aunt
Dinah's Quilting Party, think I'll
leave it at that as 1 sit quietly

Russia and Turkey

The background of Russia's propa-
ganda campaign against Turkey is fair
ly we'll established through the govern
ment's release of the proceedings at
the early Big Three conferences.
1t was at Teheran that Great Brit
ain and the United States, yielding to
Stains pressure, agreed to approach
Ankara on coming into the war. Their
efforts were unsuccessful, and it now
appears that Turkeys neutrality is
viewed as a distinct blessing.
Writing in Washington, Neal STAN
ford of the Christian Science Monitor,
says that as the situation is under
stood in the National Capital, if Turkey
had come into the war on the side of
the Allies the country would have been
overrun by the Nazis and if the Allies
mad won the campaign Turkey would
nave had to be liberated.

British Budget Surplus

We have become so accustomed to
thinking Of England as down at the
heel financially that news of a Brit
ish budget surplus is rather staggering.
It is not just a surplus, which might
be anything from a shilling to a pound.
It's a billion dollar surplus, and that's
real money in anybody's homeland.
This is what Hugh Dalton, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer has been do
ing. He has arranged a 1974-84 reve-
nue of 3,451, 000, 900 pounds and in
tends to hold expenditures to $751;
s67, 900 pounds. And between us boys
he has done his job so efficiently and
secretly that we've been wondering
how soon Downing Street would be
back in Washington for another loan
Mr.. Dalton is a confirmed socialist

is that everybody should be on al
equality. The man with ten bucks ant
the other man with one should poo

that each would have five and a half
That's the theory.
But Mr.. Dalton, the son of a Canon OF
St. Georges Chapel at Windsow and
deputy clerk of the Closet and domestic
chaplain to the King, has reversed this
process. He has contended that what
is needed is an incentive to work hard,
and this certainly u n counter to the
general idea Of all being equal.
How successful he has been in put
ting the hard work theory acros in a
labor government in which he is an
outstanding member is well illustrated
by the loose change that will be rat

ain for the Channel push, and being
begged down in Italy, it would have
been the Red Army, "as it liberated
Poland and the Balkans" Nh. Stanford
notes that the Teheran text reveals
that Stains invitation to Turkey to
get into the wal was backed by a prom
Use to rush to her aid.
"The judgment here Washington
is that had that occurred" writes Mr..
Stanford, Turkey would now be in the
same position as is every eastern Eu-
ropean country occupied by Red Army
troops. Russia, instead Of demanding
bases on the Turkish straits, as she is
now doing, would be sitting across
those straits. The Kremlin, instead of
pressing for the Turkish provinces OF
Kars and Arabian, as she Is row do
ing, would be in physical control OF
those provinces"
Thus far Premier Stain has failed
to sell his scheme for Soviet power In
the straits to the United States and
Great Britain. When United States aid
reaches Turkey, as it should through
acceptance of President Humans pro-
posal by the Congress, he will have
still greater difficulty in putting across
one more Russian im~perialistic scheme.

10Y TO KEEP
A ALBUM

When one puts snapshots in an
album, the usual practice is tc
paste from three to six snapshots
in one or two rows extending a
cross the page. This method is not
very satisfactory. For one thing il
is quite wasteful Of space. Again
if you wish TO find a given snap
shot, you must thumb your way
through the album until you hap
pen to come upon the desired pic
ture. In this article we are going
to show you how to arrange your
photographs neatly, save space
and be able to put your finger on
any desired snapshot within a few
seconds.
Instead of pasting your snap
shots across the page, mount
them by means of hinges n be-
low and the other in a single col
umn at the left of the page. The
mounting process is simple.
You must provide yourself with
some heavy gummed paper of the
type used to fasten packages. This
comes in rolls of different widths.

BY WILLIAM E.. MCKINNEY
Americas Gard Authority
Written for NEA Service

Although l know that many OF
my readers object to my showing
only one hand of 13 cards the
argument over today's hand was
SO keen that l cannot help passing
it on to you. The problem was:
over Vests cue bid OF two clubs,
what should East, his partner, do:
Bertram Lebhar, Jr., treasurer
of the American Contract Bridge
League and an outstanding ex.
pert, claims that nine out of ten
experts would bid three diamonds
with East's holding. AS this
seemed like quite a claim to me
I started out to check on it. About
half of the experts 1 consulted
said they would bid two dia,
monds and had a good strong ar.
gument to justify that bid. The
others favored three diamonds, SC
that East's partner would know
he had a good hand.
Personally I believe that the
three-diamond bid should show a
more solid diamond suit. Over
three diamonds, West in all pro.
liability will bid three hearts o,
three spades, and East then will
have to 60 to four diamonds. Now
West is going to assume that East
has a pretty good diamond suit.
South opened the bidding, and
while a player occasionally will
open with a psychic Or a shaded
bid, the sound basis is to assume
that the opening bidder has two
and a half defensive tricks or
more. That means that East's
king of diamonds or king OF
spades or both might be killed by
South's strength.
If West has both majors, East's
three-diamond bid will crowd the
bidding. West may bid three
spades owe three diamonds, and
if East bids four diamonds then
West probably will bid four
hearts. Then East will have to
show a preference with a bid of
four spades, and as a result they
will be in an optimistic contract
that cannot be made.

should contain remarks about the
snapshots. These remarks, written
with white pencil or on a separate
sheet of paper pasted to the al
bum, should include all the infor-
nation necessary to identify the
snapshots.
The last few pages of the album
are devoted to an index of the
pictures. This is arranged by SUBJ
jects, such as Friends, Dogs,
Sports, Scenery and the like. Too
make this index, supply yourself
with a package Of 3-inch by 5-inch
index cards.
First let us examine picture /
OF the album. Suppose that it is a
family picture. Write the word
Family at the upper left-hand cor
ner OF an index card ard under
it put the number of the picture.
If picture 2 shows a dog, make a
new card with the name Dogs on
it and put the number 2 under
the name. If number 3 is a pic
ture Of scenery, prepare a card
with the word Scenery on it and
underneath this the number 3.
These cards r arranged alpha
betically. If number 4 is another
family picture, add number 4 to
your Family card. Go through the
entire album until the number of
each picture has been entered
upon the appropriate index card.
Then type or write all these ell
tries in alphabetical order on
sheets of white paper. Each of
these sheets should be a little
smaller than the album page. Use
as many sheets as r necessary
to index all the pictures.

ADVICE ON CITY GOVERNMENT

ADVICE On CITY GOVERNMENT
To The Editor:
1t is high time we as citizens Of
America stop trying to find what
Es wrong with our country and find
what is right with it. There are
many things wrong but there must
be more things that are right Or
we wouldn't have the best country
in the world. Let's improve the
situations that are wrong instead
of cr%iticising them.
For example we nave the best
form of city government here in
Wilmington but it is not functioning
as it is intended. The set-up for
city manager form Of government
is the same as the set-up for a
large business, that is business
manager and board of directors.
The manager is supposed TO run
the city as he sees fit. If he doesn't
do the job, then replace him. But
don't let the council run the city,
They haven't time and one man
can make decisions faster than a
group.
We may have the best city man
ager in the country, but We don't
know it because he hasn't been
given the free reign of the city
In many cases he has just been
carrying out the decisions Of the
council, which decisions should
have been left up to him TO begin
with.
To the candidates: Let's starr
the new term off right. II issues
come up that r not under your
jurisdiction be men enough to say
they are not and direct them 10 the
city manager for him to declde'
After all that's what we are pay
ing him for.
To the voters. Elect the ren VINO
have integrity enough to kno"
what questions are the council
concern and what questions AFT
the city managers. After all the!
are handling our money. Le.S
put the men in who know how u
use it to the best advantage.

NO FIRES IN JERUSALEM

NO FIRES IN JERUSALEM
Old Jerusalem has no fire de-
partment. The city is not in dan
ger of conflagration, because it is
built entirely of stone. The supply
of wood for construction is scant,
and almost prohibitive in price.
But of limestone which is soft and
easily quarried. quickly hardening
when exposed to the air, there is
unlimited supply.
One of the most interesting
sights of Jerusalem is Solomon's
Quarry, which runs far under the
city, and is entered at a poin. be-
low the northern WALL not far
from the Damascus Gate. Here is
stone in abundance; and plenty OF
evidence of the huge labors
of Solomon's quarrymen, who
dressed the stone underground,
that no sound of hammer might
be heard in the building of the
temple. Cut into the wall of living
rock and unremoved, is "the first
keystone"
Jerusalem has built with the
materials at hand. And the lesson
for our lives is to start where we
are and to build with what we
have. Beneath our feet today is
abundant material for the largest
life.
Forgive us, Lord, for wasting
our days in contemplation of fu-
tile Ifs" and "buts". Where Thou
hast placed us is all We need for
the building of the best life and
the fullest service. Amen.
