American purpose and that ii
will prevail"
Mr.. Nixon said he believed
the Nations purpose has
broadened "as the country has
matured and our capabilities
have grown.
I'VE can see the process in
retrospect, he wrote, "in the
painful separation from Eng
land, in the establishment OF
Government of the people, in
the bloody eradication of slav-
cry, in the great expansion and
archaeological adoption, in the
remuneration of conquest, in
the willingness to fight for
freedom anywhere in the
world"
Mr.. Nixon said there was a
difference between purpose
and interest.
Too often we wage our
political campaigns and evalu-
ate our national posture in
terms of interests" he held
Too often the parties put
forth platforms, and the can
didates make campaign prom
iSes, which seek a mere COM
promise of conflicting inter-
ests. which proposes some
splitting of the difference
Would it not be more in
keeping with our best tradi-
ton if we sought a larger pur-
pose within which our separate
interests could be united in a
more elevated conception OF
our destiny?"

explained that if decisions were
shared there would be no way
of fixing responsibility.
Later another reporter re-
opened the subject by asking
the President if he could cite

happier if I had the original.
For a similar jacket. choose
any style you wish-the fab
ric can be purchased readily.
Here are a few hints when
working on this type of fab
ric.
Lay pattern on the cloth
as you would for fabric with
a nap. For broadtail, match
design as you would with
stripes and plaids, particular
ly on two front pieces and
center back seam if jacket
has one. Use a medium long
stitch (8-10 stitches per
inch).
Do not try to sew without
basting or fabric may slip.
After sewing a seam, work the
pile out of seam with point
of needle. This almost cCm-
pletely conceals seam line,
giving a true fur look.
When pressing seams open,
do not put iron fiat on fabric,
but use tip iron or a needle
board. Always slash darts
and press open for less bulk.

SEAMS TO NE
Button Trick Is Answer
To AIl-Around Jacket
BY PATRICIA SCOTT

Recently a friend Of mine
asked me to help her choose
a fur jacket from an exclu-
sive shop in New York. For
the first Is minutes I sat
quietly while she tried on
jacket after jacket giving my
opinion but occasionally.
Finally. however, I weaken
ed.
I have a mad passion for
Russian broadtail jackets and
the inevitable happened-I
asked to see a few. With each
one I tried on, I told myself
I didn't like it. thus easing
the pain since I couldn't af-
ford one anyway.
Then I saw one that dreams
are made of-not in style,
which is basic, but in ver-
Satility. 1t had a button gim-
mick that was too unique to
b elieve, yet unbelievably
simple.
Eyelets Made
Eyelets were made where
the buttons would normally
be and the shank of a but
ton was merely slipped
through the eyelet and clip
ped in place on the wrong
side with a metal clasp, allow
ing you to change buttons in
minutes.
1t had matching fur but
tons, horn, braid and finally
magnificent jeweled ones. The

Cut square Of saran at
least 2 inches larger than

wrap over object and fasten
underneath with a twist of
wire. Cut wire so that about
6 inches will be left.
Flatten saran left below
the wire and cut diagonally.
Wrap wire around again,

candy in the left hand and
twisting it slowly between
first finger and thumb, apply
florist tape with the right

Stretch tape as it is applied
so it will adhere. Wrap down

When several pieces have
been covered, dip each piece
in and out Of boiling water
but make certain not to dip
below the wire. This hot
bath shrinks the saran and
gives a sparkling tight cover.
When several candies have

DOCTORING YOUR GOLF
ENT'S COMPLAINT
By DR.. CARY MIDDLECOFF

PATIENTS COMPLAINT:
MY timing is all off,"
DIAGNOSIS: Not enough
specialized practice sessions.
TREATMENT: Every golfer
at one time or other finds his
swing all out Of kilter. What
it generally amounts to is that
he's lost his sense Of timing
The best way to regain this
elusive thing called timing,
have found, is to go to the
practice tee and start hitting
chip shots and short pitches.
I try to concentrate on making
this short stroke smooth and
rhythmical.
Then. as I begin to tim. my
swing better on these snort
shots, I go on to hitting full
shots with the short irons-the
9-iron, S-iron. and 7-iron. I
try to keep swinging easily and
smoothly, never trying for full
distance. I stick to the short
irons until I feel I'm timing the
swing about the way I should,
and then I test it with the
longer clubs.
Besides being effective for
me, this method meets the
test of logic. The full swing is
nothing more than an extern
sion of the swing used for chips
and short pitches. So it follows
