Strong Earthquake Jolts Central Japan

TOKYO R - A strong earth quake jolted central Japan Sat- urday and police said at least five persons were killed and II in- jured. No major property damage was reported, however.
 The epic center was in thin- ly populated area of the Gifu- Kukui provincial border. Serious damage would have been caused if it had been in a populated area. It was of the same magnitude as the great trenor that ravaged Fukui in 1948.
 Other major cities were jofted by the quake. Tidal wave warn ings were issued in some areas but were cancelled.
 Soviet Deputy Premier Anastas Mikoyan and his party were visit ing the Osaka-Kyoto area when the quake struck.

mesh is better in this respect
but they also keep out more
breeze. Copper tacks must
be used with copper, bronze
and plastic screens. Galva-
nized steel tacks are used for
aluminium and steel screens.
To do the work, it is con-
venient to set up jig. You
need two strips of wood about
an inch square in cross section
and several inches longer
than the width of the screen.
Also make two wood wedges.
Pry off the molding that
covers the edge of the old
wire. Use a wide wood chisel
for this. Now, pull the tacks
and take off the old screen.
Place the new screen in posi-
ton and tack the end to the
frame. placing the tacks one
to one and a half inches
apart.
Stretching Screen
Clamp the other end of the
screen between the two wood
strips, using screws or nails
into the work bench. The
wood wedges are then driven
into place to stretch the
screen. Place tacks in the top
end of the frame and use a
heavy blade knife to cut off
the excess wire.
The sides are now tackled in
place. What little stretch,
ing of the wire that is neces-
sary for the sides can be done
by hand. Replace the mold
ing with three-quarter inch
18 wire brads and the job is
complete.
Loose corner connections of
the wood frames are most
easily repaired by attaching
two-inch or three-inch flat
angles that are available at
all hardware stores.

How to Repair
Window Screens
By HERMAN BAUM
Contributing Writer

Il need help fast. For a
month, I have been trying to
get a carpenter to repair
some window screens but all
I get is excuses and promises.
It now seems that I must
repair them myself or be
eaten alive by giant mosqui-
toes. Please explain a novice
how the job is done" SPA.
writes.
AnSwer-Many businesses
operate on this theory. Be it
answering letters or repairing
screens, if the job can be
postponed a while longer,
the need ceases. Let us has
ten to add that The House
Doctor letter answering Serv-
ice does not fall into this
category.
The convential type of
wood frame screens are so
simple to repair that there
is really no reason why you
should be dependent upon
the whimS of a procrastinat-
ing wood butcher.
AS for the screening that
you will use, this is made
from a number of materials
and in several sizes. Bronze,
copper, aluminium, glass
fiber. and galvanized steel
are among the more common.
Bronze and copper have
very long life but the metal
corrodeS and causes stains on
white paint below the window
unless the screens are paint
ed with screen enamel. Alu-
minum and glass fiber are
good and free from this
trouble. Aluminium is more
subject to damage than other
types.
Choosing Mesh
Screens are made in widths
to fit most standard windows
so trimming is not necessary.

Eyes RIGHT Ewes come mostly
in blue or brown. But a sur
prising number of people in the
world have eyes that are neither
blue nor brown, and they cause
arguments. Are their eyes gray?
Green? Creenish-blue? Hazel?
The question came up earlier
this year when several color
portraits showed President
kennedy's eyes in a range of
colors from blue to brown.
What's the real color of the
Kennedy eyes? 'Cray-green.
says the President himself.
EVE-RATEs The question arose
again when DIR. James Rob
ertsOn-Justice, distinguished
Scottish writer, naturalist and
former Rector of the Univer-
sity of Edinburgh wrote US
recently. Another member of
the green-eyed club, DR.. Rob
ertson-Justice takes us to task
= with justice. We not only
described his eyes as blue, but
his beard as red - and, says
DR.. Robertson Justice, my
beard uds never red, and is
mostly white"
EVg-DEAL. After our expert
ences with Mr.. Kennedy and
DR.. Robertson-Justice, we've
taken pains to ascertain the
eve colors for today's issue.
Here's our research report:
Sen. William PrOxmire (see
Page o. asked his secretary,
who reported: Blue"
Secretary Of Labor Arthur
J. Goldberg Page l0 took a
quick look in the mirror, an
nounced, Brown"
COmPOser-cOnducSOr Mere
dith Wilson's New York
office said he had one blue
eye, one brown. A call direct
to Mr.. Wilson in Los Angeles
brought the answer We had
already suspected: my eyes,
said Mr.. Wilson, ''are hazel
green" There was a pause.
Then, That's right, green -
| just checked with my wife"
So this time we feel safe.

''Begin, be bold, and Uenture to be pise. -
One of our human failings.

One of our human failings, as
see it. has been our admiration for the
''Middle-of-the-roader." Certainly many
of us agree that the exercise of restraint
is one of the marks of the good man. But
in some areas compromise is habby and
dangerous. Any person of real conviction
and strength must choose one side of the
road or the other 1t would be strange
kind of education that urged us to be
relatively honest, sometimes just,
usually tolerant, ''for the most part
decent.
As you read history and biogra-
ply, think you will not come to equate
greatness with compromise. Rather, you
will find it in decisiveness, combined with
charity, gentleness and justice. There will
be some wrong decisions, of course, but
as long as mistakes are recognized the loss
is far less serious than that occasioned
by playing the middle of the road, sitting
on the fence, undecided, unconvinced,
incapable of strong feeling.
Life should be continuing search
for those people, those ideas and those
causes to which we can gladly and wholly
give ourselves.
