Models by Nick Taylor. Bel- lerophon Books, 36 Anacapa St., Santa Barbara, Calif. 81/2 by 11 in. 64 pp. Paper U.S. $3.50. Reviewed by PERCY MADDUX The Tower of London was named after the White Tower, which was Norman built, with Ralph Flambard the first prisoner, who man- aged to escape and flee to Normandy. The White Tower was only one of many castles built by Normans. It is one of the two castles featured in the book "Castles to Cut Out and Put Together" issued by Bellerophon. The other castle is Chateau Gaillard erected at Rouen in Nor- mandy in 1196. Both these castles are described in a text by J. K. Anderson. The rest of the book is made up of pieces with directions how to put them - together so as to make two paper castles. 2. Finish what Danny started. 3. Now try it yourself! At wit's end by Erma Bombeck A psychologist once said that everyone has a dirt threshold, a boiling point that will drive him or her to dig out from under all the mess. A 59 -year-old widow in Al- bertson, N.Y., obviously found hers when she not only burned down her home be- cause it was dirty, but tried to stop the firemen from putting out the fire. So did city officials in Charleston, S.C., when they required horses carrying visitors on carriage tours throughout the historic dis- trict to wear diapers. I haven't found mine yet. How could I? It's been years since I've seen my threshold. And I think I know why. It's because I'm first generation immaculate. I was raised in a home that I dubbed Our Lady of Per- petual Dusting. Everyone knows cleanliness skips a generation. I used to watch my mother. She was the kind who washed out a measuring cup with soap and water after she used it only to measure water! Whenever she hadn't used her good dishes, say in a year or so, she's wash them again before setting the table. There was never any gum stuck in the bottom of her waste cans. I was im- pressed by -that. And she was the only person I knew who ironed dish towels. The only hope for me of surviving in this environ- ment was my mother's love for boxes. Amid all this or- ganized sparkle and alpha- betized spices was a -closet full of old boxes and ribbons that would have taken the sight out of a good eye. It must have been her threshold of cleanliness where you can just take so much Lysol and you freak out. No box was too flimsy or too worn to be added to mother's collection. Some- times, she'd snatch a box away from us before we got the gift out of the tissue. You never knew what you were getting. Just when you thought you were getting a rectal themometer for your birthday, you opened the lid and voila, a new pen and pencil set. We have lived with one an- other's attitudes towards neatness. She considers dust a drug never to be inhaled. I consider dust God's way of measuring time. According to the psycholo- gists, I should have one area where spit and polish prevail . some part of my life that is clutter -free. I don't. I remember the story about the girl back East who worked at a bank three months and every night her desk was clean as a whistle. It did not go unnoticed. Others were told to emulate her and that's when they dis- covered that every night she was tossing away everything on her desk right into the -wastebasket. ---- - - - - ....- - Neatness breeds -15 -at ked Have you ever w lked all day and enjoyed every minute of it? if not, try the contour s; .ndal with the heavenly fitmoo Deformed shape Men's & Women's caused by narrow shoes.
