PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1976 Basketball's Turn-It-Around Man It just took the biggest, strongest, quickest, 6-foot 8-inch, 235-pound forward in professional basketball to turn the Philadelphia 76ers into legitimate NBA title contenders. But turning teams around is an old trick for George McGinnis. His Indianapolis high school team was the first to "let George do it," and they won their state title without a single loss. George averaged 32 points a game and was the first high school Hoosier in history to score 1,000 points in a single year. > In his third college game, George scored 38 points and had 20 rebounds against Kentucky. He went on to av­ erage 30 points a game for the Uni­ versity of Indiana, while leading all the Big Ten scorers in his only varsity season before turning professional. Playing with the Indiana Pacers, "Big Mac" led his team to two ABA championships with an average of 24.8 points and 12.7 rebounds per game. The McGinnis book of records shows three consecutive American Basketball Association seasons with more than 2,000 points and 1,000 re­ bounds before George became a Na­ tional Basketball Association first team Ail-Star last year. George McGinnis names his heroes: Elgin Baylor, Billy Cunningham, and Newspaper Carriers George McGinnis thinks Newspaper Carriers are special people. "Sure, they earn good money. But they also earn satis­ faction from giving their very best. They're dedicated, deter­ mined and dependable." And George should know. He's stuffed almost as many In­ dianapolis newspapers as he has basketballs. He's also stuffed some money into U.S. Savings Bonds. "I dreamed of the future and I prepared for it, too. Being a Newspaper Carrier helped me to acquire the determination to get the job done. Similarly, acquir­ ing U.S. Savings Bonds has taught me something about de­ pendability." As a 10-year old, George dreamed of one day making the big play as a professional bas­ ketball player. He grew up dreaming of the time when he could move "nice 'n' easy',' like Elgin Baylor and drive to the hoop like Billy Cunning­ ham. "It takes steadiness to be a good ball player," George says. "That's what Newspaper Car­ riers give you -- steady per­ formance every day." Through the years, carriers have steadily supported the U.S. Savings Bonds program, buying Bonds regularly with their earnings. Many carriers set aside money for their college education and other future goals through their Newspaper Car­ rier Thrift Clubs. They believe in their own future as well as their country's. And that's what U.S. Savings Bonds are all about! Maybe you'd like to join George McGinnis and the Treasury Department in extend­ ing a very big "thank you" to your local Newspaper Carriers. It's their day; Newspaper Car­ rier Day, 1976. Take , . stock ln^merica. A public service of this publication | and Tha Advertising Council CORNERS A M P O SmP The Art Of Quilting-- A Reflective Tradition The best way to avoid bills is to pay cash. Life would be simple if everyone was sincere. The art of quilting--appli­ que' and patchwork--was born out of the need for warm bedding and clothing. No one knows exactly when quilting began. But, it's bvr'ieved to have originated in the Far East during the 11th century. This craft spread westward gaining great popu­ larity in Europe. Eventually it was brought to America by the early English and Dutch settlers. The tomato, or "love apple" as it's called in French, was the inspiration for a quilt design used in France during the 17th century. The pattern was made up in red and yel­ low fabrics, with realistic tomato leaves. Traditionally, quilt designs have been handed down from generation to generation. Our grandmothers and great- grandmothers created distinc­ tive patterns for quilting just as they created distinctive foods in their kitchens. Start a warm new tradition in your home with this savory recipe reminiscent of earlier days: "LOVE APPLE" CHOWDER In saucepan, cook 2 slices Dacon until crisp; remove and crumble. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion; cook u n t i l t e n d e r . A d d 1 c a n (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup, 1 soup can water and 1 can (8 ounces) cream-style corn. Heat; stir occasionally. Gar­ nish with bacon.
