was cleaning
Washington (U.R) It was
Victoria Geany speaking:
"What's the difference," she
said, "if I have
a dust cap on?
Also what is
the matter if
my slip is
showing. I'm
house clean
ing." Mrs. Geany,
who is lovely
even with a
slip showing,
or helping to
one of the most famous man
sions in the world. That would
be Blair House, where the lady
is hostess to the great and near-
great from all over presidents,
kings, queens, prime ministers
and the like. Mrs. G. has met
them all.
She has one of the most fab
ulous collections of autographs
in the world. In 30 years of do
ing business with Blair House
she also has collected a fabul
ous array of autographed pic
tures Haille Salassie, the "Lion
of Judah;" Winston Churchill;
the Duke of Windsor; and Chi
ang Kai-shek.
Busy Day
But today she was feather
dusting and seeing that rugs
were sent out to be cleaned.
The house was built in 1826
and has not been changed much
since, except that the furniture
has to be prettied up once in a
while and sometimes repaired.
When a king or a princess or
another dignitary comes in from
a foreign land, Mrs. Geany is
ready to bed 'em down and fur
nish the kind of grub that fits
their fancy.
Shortly after the Harry Tru
mans came to the White House
across the street, the creaky old
floors gave way under the
weight of Margaret's grand pi
ano and one leg stuck through
the ceiling of the suite below.
A remodeling job was indi
cated and the family from In
dependence, Mo., moved into
Blair House. Harry had his room.
Bess had hers, and Margaret had
private quarters.
Own Quarters ..
That was when Mrs. Geany
fixed herself a little apartment
in the cellar. It isva cosy little
nest, eauipped with kitchen.
shower, etc.
After the Trumans moved
back, some redecorating was
done in the basement and Mrs
Geany is proud to say that for a
while she slept in the pea rar
Truman once used.
"The Trumans were most cor
dial. They always were nice to
me," she sajd. "I had met them
many times at parties here at
Blair House before Mr. Truman
became President, so we were
not exactly strangers."
And, she hastened to add, the
Eisenhowers were gracious, too.
"They were guests here when
he was a general."

Amnesty Offered
Eoka Underground
Nicosia, Cyprus U.R) Brit
ish planes dropped leaflets offer
ing amnesty to members o"f the
EOKA anti-British underground
today, but there were no imme
diate takers.
While the planes showered
leaflets on forest and mountain
underground hideouts, army
trucks toured villages and cities
throughout this troubled Medi
terranean island to tell the
rebels of Sir John Harding's
offer of peace.
Harding Wednesday gave the
Greek Cypriot extremists the
choice of going to Greece or re
maining on Cyprus with the pos
sibility of being brought to trial.
But he said underground mem
bers would be prosecuted only
for crimes of violence.
The amnesty offer was the
government's answer to last
week's cease fire order by the
EOKA, paving the way for
peaceful negotiations on the fu
ture of Cyprus.

And Fines Violator

a sad day for Howard F. Todd ot
Marion, Ind., when he drove hli
truck across a double line on
highway in nearby Blasdell.
When Todd appeared before
Police Justice Leonard H. Busch
for the minor violation, it jogged
Busch's memory. He remem
bered fining Todd $100 four
years ago for failing to have hll
tractor trailer marked with
weight figures.
Todd paid by check, the check
came back marked "account clos
ed." and the fine never was paid.
Busch made sure this time.
Todd was allowed to go on hll
way, but only after shelling out
a total of $105 in cash, including
a five-dollar fine for the viola
tion that brought him before
Busch for the second time.

Can you find the "guarantee"
in this picture?
You buy a refrigerator only two or three times
in your lifetime.
Yet you don't hesitate to buy one without
getting so much as a look at the intricate "works"
that makes it run.
How do you dare make such an important
purchase without having an expert check it over
for you? What makes you so sure you're getting
your money's worth when you say, "I'll take
that one"?
The answer's obvious. You look for the brand
name on the refrigerator your "guarantee."
You've learned to follow this first rule of safe
and sound buying:
A good brand is your best guarantee
Ko matter what kind of product you want to
buy, you know a good brand won't let you down
You know the maker stands back of it guar
antees it. And so, when you buy a good brand
you know you're right.
Read this newspaper to find out which are
the good brands (and the stores that sell them.)
The more good brands you know, the surer you
are about all your shopping.
