The Stitching and Finishing
Enclosed Seams Important

~
One of the most important
steps in putting a garment
together is the stitching and
finishing of enclosed seams.
Flat, well-shaped collars,
cuffs and faced sections give
your dress a professional look,
whereas, lumpy, uneven ones
look tacky.
@. I get confused when
trimming curved seams.
When do you clip the seam
and when do you actually
cut little chunks out for less
bulk? Mrs. H. R.
A. Always clip seams when
they are inside curves such as
necklines. Clip them at in
tervals, almost to the seam
line, so that the seam allow
ance can fold back against
the wide curve.
The sharper the curve. the
closer your clips should be.
But be sure not to clip into
the seam line. AS for cutting
out little chunks they are
just small notches. This
method is used on outside
curved seams such as the
outer edge of a collar, where
some fabric must be removed
to get the seam edges to lie
flat.
If the seam allowance seems
bulky and actually pleatS
when you fold the seam edges
back along the stitching line,
make narrow V-Shaped
notches. Be sure you don't
cut right to the seam line. Do
it carefully. The sharper the
curve, the more notches you'll
need.

@. I read your articles reg
ularly and find them very
helpful. This is my problem.
What can I do to keep the
underarm seam in a kimono
sleeve without guSsetS from
splitting out and often tear
ing? If the bodice is loose
I'm all right, but if it is
closely fitted, it isn't long
before I'm sewing up and
mending seams. Mrs. R. E. B.
A. To reinforce the under
arm seam of a kimono sleeve,
fold a six inch strip of rib
bon seam binding in half,
lengthwiSe, and press. Pin
the seam binding to the seam
line and stitch through seam
and seam binding. Clip the
seam allowance at the curve
and press the seam open (See
illustration). GuSsets, OF
course, are far better because
they give you more room, but,
If your dress is already made,
reinforcing will help.

@. I'm a beginner on a
sewing machine and have
trouble at the end of each
row Of stitching. I always get
a big glob of thread knotted
together at the end of the
seam. Miss T. C.
A. My guess is that you
sew beyond the fabric, allow
ing the needle to go into the
feed, thus the entangled
threads. AS you get near the
end of the row of stitching,
slow down your machine.
Just as you bring the e'machine
to a stop, put your hand on
the balance wheel.
Stop the machine when the
take-up lever is as high as it
will go. Then raise the
presser foot and gently pull
the fabric back, with the
threads below the presser
foot. Keep holding the bal
ance wheel so the needle
won't be lowered as you pull
the fabric. Cut the threads,
leaving several inches ex-
tending from the machine.

should prove very lucrative if backed fully by local mer- chants and citizens.
 Chamber members have been investigating the idea of sou venir dollar since early in the year, he said, but found the cost of having them made up in relatively small quantity pro- hibitive. Arrangements have therefore been made to take trade dollars on consignment from the Alaska Boosters Asso- citation.
 This organization has been willing to cooperate with the Matanuska Valley Chamber in preference to competing with another souvenir dollar, Fish said, and has agreed to sell the dollars to the local group for 25 cents apiece. In turn, the Chamber sells the coins to To- cal merchants for one dollar apiece. banking the proceeds in an escrow fund. The trade dol lars may be redeemed for full value until December 31, 1862.
 The Alaska Boosters AsSocia- ton estimates that returns will not exceed ten percent of total output, according to Fish. The Chamber will be able to keep 75 percent of the funds left in escrow after redemptionS are made. The Alaska boosters are asking only 1212 cent return on the dollar, he said, adding that the Chamber is just about assured of a 55 cent return on the dollar.
 The local club has taken a beginning consignment of 20OO of the dollars, but hopes to get 30,OO0 of them into circulation. They will be used as currency at the Alaska State Fair.
 The Chamber president em- phasized the need of full CO., operation of Valley residents in getting as many of the coins as possible into circulation.

Algeria, moreover, with its

lions. This cannot arouse
many cheers here about the
U. N. as an organization.
Sooner or later the voters in
this country will begin to in
sist that American money
should not be used to finance
the u. N.
But why should Premier
Khrushchev worry too much
about forcing a crisis in Ber-
lin when he is having his
way in certain parts of Latin
America as we'll as in North
Africa, the Middle East and
Southeast Asia?
American lives are being
risked in South Wet Nam,
where the United States is
trying to stop the Soviet pen
etration. But the Commu-
niSts are going ahead, any,
way. They are reaching into
almost every one of the for
mer colonial areas.
The drive against Co
lonialism" has turned into a
victory for communism. The
impoverished peoples in the
former colonies aren't getting
any help. They are worse off
than before. But that's the
way the Soviets are driving
to conquer - by infiltration
of as many of the new gov
ernments as they can.
Why then should Moscow
precipitate a showdown in
Berlin? If a war came, it could
cause the SovietS to lose all
they have gained. So the
game evidently is to keep on
talking with the United
States and the West and at
the same time keep on infil-
trating everywhere else in the
hope of establishing more
and more Castro and Ben
Bella regimes around the
world.

One is accustomed to seeing

were five Strads on stage.

DAVID LAWRENCE

On the surface it looked as
4 II Nikita Khrushchev was
being very considerate when
he openly conceded that he
wouldn't bring on any crisis
in Berlin at least until after
the congressional elections in
the United States were over.
Why would the Soviet Pre-
nier, however, be so polite
about the timing of his cri-
sis? Was he really trying to
ingratiate himself with Pres
ident Kennedy? On the con-
trary, if he wanted to help
the President politically. he
would stir up the crisis so
that the voters in this coun-
try would be aroused to a
mood of great anxiety. This
is always a help politically to
the party in power.
Conversely, did Mr..
Khrushchev have the politi-
cal astuteness to keep passive
and relatively quiet during
the congressional campaign
because he thought it might
be better not to solidify the
American people behind their
President, as happens so often
in international crises?
The truth probably is that
the Soviet Premier is really
looking for excuses for post
ponement and delay. There
are rumors of a Khrushchev-
Kennedy meeting in Novem-
Der, and possibly there will
be some more shoe-pounding
by the Soviet Premier at the
U. N. But he evidently doesn't
want a showdown any more
than do the Western powers.
The Soviet ruler, to be sure,
has to do something to back
up his threats about Berlin,
and his favorite way now to
cause apprehension is to re-
peat that he will sign an East
German peace treaty "soon."
This event has been de-
ferred now several times. In
fact, the current Berlin crisis
is almost four years old, and
the chances are it will run
on for at least two years

Khrushchev Believed Not in Need
Ofo Showdown Over City Now

more - perhaps until the
1864 presidential campaign is
under way. The Khrushchev
strategy is to maintain a Sc
ries Of irritations around
Berlin so as to keep the
Western powers on the anx-
ious seat indefinitely.
The same tactics are being
pursued by the Soviets with
respect to disarmament and
nuclear tests. Whenever the
Communists run out Of ar
guments, they go back to
other notes or statements
they have used in previous
conferences. 1t doesn't bother
them to reverse themselves or
to back out of agreements
previously made.
Doubtless Mr.. Khrushchev
has internal troubles because
he isn't using enough public
funds for social welfare. He
blames all this on the West.
He uses the money instead
for military purposes or for
space stunts or for infiltra-
ton in places like the Middle
East, Algeria and Latin Amer
lea.
The American people posi-
bly, are surprised to read that
Premier Ahmed Ben Bella Of
Algeria is welcomed at the
White House on one day and
flies down to Cuba the next
to embrace Fidel Castro. But
the Soviet influence in Al
geria, which has been there
all the time and finally sue
ceeded in forcing a separa-
ton from France, reveals it
self when the Algerian Pre-
mier has the temerity to tell
the world he takes Cuba's
side as against the United
States.
Referring to the Algerian
Premier's visit to Washing
ton on Monday, Senator Ken
meth Heating Of New York,
Republican, said:

learn a little about people
before we take them to the
