Ambitious Teen-Agers Can Sell Handicrafts
By ROBERTA ROESCH If you’re an imaginative teenager with a taste and talent for sewing, you can patch up the holes in your budget by producing specialty items and selling them to neighborhood gift shops. “Surprisingly enough, you can derive impressive incomes from the work you do after school and on week-ends.” says Herthe Holt, home economist for a sewing machine company. “Armed with a sewing machine, a few yards of felt, some trimming materials and a plastic shower-curtain fabric, a teen-age girl should have no trouble turning out appealing items that will sell,” declares
Mrs. Holt.
Creative Ideas Mrs. Holt suggests creating whimsical bed dolls that make a neat daytime masquerade for pajamas or nighties. To keep the work from getting monotonous, a girl can style the dolls to look like clowns, long-haired rock-and-roll stars, or Mod girls with printed pant suits. The body for all these dolls is a hollow square of remnant fabric, with a slit in back to accommodate Pj’s or nighties. “Another example of a salable item,” points out Mrs. Holt, “is a cosmetic cape.” This cape can be made easily, she says, by cutting a circle large enough to cover shoulders and a smaller circle for neckhold and opening at back. Make the capes in shower curtain plastic, with ruffles or other trim. TTiese can also be made in any of the new rain-or-stain repellent fabrics.
Sales Tip
The best way for a teen-age girl to sell what she creates is to produce one attractive sample of each of two or three Items. A .drive through the neighborhood will quickly reveal the speciality shops likely to carry this type of merchandise. In the suburbs, many of these little shops are operated by women who, themselves, are in business for pleasure and a side income. Even if the income is fairly unimportant, the women are knowing merchants when it comes to stocking salable specialities, so an item has to
be good.
Before trying to place your items, it’s a good idea to browse around a shop and admire the merchandise—for two reasons. The first reason is to determine the shop’s price range in gift items. The other is to start a pleasant conversation with the proprietress. Deciding On Prices Once this rapport is estab-
Imaginative Girls Can Make Distinctice And Useful Gifts lished, the time has come to show the home-sewn gift items. They should be offered to the store on a consignment basis, and it is wise to let the proprietress suggest the retail price because of her experience. If her suggestion—to cite an example —is a retail price of $3, for a cosmetic cape, the teen-age manufacturer should offer to produce the cape for $2 with the understanding that the store only pays her for each sample as it is sold to customers. If the items catch on, then she should agree with the shop owner to supply them as at mutually agreeable price in specified quantities.
Brazil Studies Greater Use Of Bananas SAN PAULO, Brazil UPI — While some Brazilians go hungry, a third of the country’s estimated 12 billion pound banana crop rots on the ground each year. Bananas sell for about one cent each in Brazil, and so there’s not much incentive for pushing internal consumption. Exports are limited to neighboring countries because the bananas grown here age quickly and cannot withstand long
sea trips.
What can be done with the bananas now going to waste is one of the questions being answered by the Tropical Center of Food Research and Technology. The state government agency is located in the industrial city of Campinas, 40 miles northwest of Sap Paulo, and under a 1964 agreement with the United States is studying the storage and industrialialization of tropical fruits and veg-
etables.

East wins with the ace of trumps and returns a trump to the king. Cover the East-West cards and ask your friends to play the hand at four hearts. The average player—the sort of partner we usually get— leads a club at once, hoping to ruff the other club in dummy. East wins and returns another trump. South must run the diamonds to get rid of his losing club. This leaves him in the dummy with only spades left, and he is now sure to lose two spade tricks. Down one. Clearly, such a declarer has not planned ahead. We have suspected for years that our partners are not members of the human race, but only readers of this column can prove it scientifically, (advt.) HUMAN PLAY A human player, looking ahead, does not lead a club at the third trick. Instead, he draws East’s last ^ trump and runs the diamonds to get rid of a club. Then he gives up the club trick.
East takes the ace of clubs j and returns a club to make I South ruff. South can now lead i a spade from his hand and will make his contract if he guesses j whether to play the king or the jack from dummy. This decision is easy, since East has shown up with two aces and would have bid or doubled with a third ace. South plays West for the ace of spades and makes the contract. One word of advice: Be sure to test your friends before they test you. DAILY QUESTION Partner opens with 1 NT (16 to 18 points) and the next* player passes. You hold: S-8 5; j H-K Q J 4 2; D-Q 9 8 7; C-J 3. | What do you say? Answer: Bid three hearts. [ This forcing bid asks partner to raise hearts if he has three or more hearts; otherwise he I bids 3 NT.

Hollywood News
By VERNON SCOTT HOLLYWOOD UPI — Sir John Gielgud, often identified as the greatest English-speak-ing actor in the world, has come to Hollywood to play a small role in a new movie. It is Sir John’s third trip to the movie capital and presents the natives with the problem of how to address him. Is it Sir John? Mr. Gielgud? Johnny? Or maybe John-baby? Gielgud, a most distinguished Shakespearean, couldn’t care less. “When people stop calling me Sir John I feel a little more popular,” he said at Warner Bros., where he is appearing in “The Assignment” with Patrick O’Neal and Herbert Lom. “I don’t use my title in the billing of a play or a film. Sounds a bit snobbish to me. For the same reason I don’t wear the ribbon of the Legion of Honor.” So far as Sir John knows,
there are only six other knights among the British acting gentry: Sir Ralph Richardson, Sir Alec Guinness, Sir Donald Wolfit, Sir Lewis Casson, Sir Michael Redgrave and Sir Laurence Olivier. The first actor ever knighted wa» Sir Henry Irving back in 1895, and it created quite a stir at the time,” Gielgud said. “They waited quite some time before knighting another. “I was knighted in 1953, after Richardson and Olivier. Of course it is a great honor in Britain, and it is very impressive abroad. But the title is rather snobbish when you’re working with your equals in the theater or movies.” Gielgud is a slender, elegant man; articulate and reserved. He appears to be almost painfully shy. “When you are an exhibitionist by profession, I don’t think an actor should be so in private life,” he said. “In this picture I’m a villainous tycoon. It’s a rather small ( bit, but effective. I’m moving into a new area and it seems | fun for a change. ‘‘I love doing non-Shake- ; spearean roles. It breaks the
cliche. Still, I’ve never had a really wonderful modem part— they’ve all been quite priggish and bores.” Because Gielgud is acclaimed as the greatest “Hamlet” in modern times, he has been stuck with Shakespeare since he was in his 20s.
When Hemis Fair 1968 opens in San Antonio on April 6, 1968, it will mark the first time a world’s fair has been staged in the southwestern United States.
