Dukakis, Bentsen blast
Bush’s record on crime
DALLAS (AP) — Presidential
hopeful Michael Dukakis linked up
with running mate Sen. Lloyd Bent-
sen Thursday night to blast George
Bush’s record on tackling the na
tion’s drug problem and fighting
crime.
Dukakis and Bensten met with
Combined Law Enforcement Asso
ciations of Texas, which has pre
viously endorsed the Democratic
ticket.
“The Bush record on drugs and
crime is a failure,” Dukakis said at a
news conference. “It’s a failure.
There is nothing the vice president
can do to change that.”
Dukakis accused Bush and the
rest of the Reagan administration of
being out of touch with state and lo
cal law enforecement officials and
failing to provide the leadership
needed to stem increasing crime, es
pecially drug-related crimes.
“Leaders and officials, educators
and law enforcement officers at the
state and local level cannot conduct
this war when they don’t know from
one year to the next whether they
are going to get the kind of support
that Congress has already demon
strated in the work that it has done,”
Dukakis said.
Before introducing Dukakis,
CLEAT members held up a placard
announcing the group had issued an
“all points bulletin” for Bush, saying
he is wanted for slashing support for
state and local police, waving the
white flag in the national war against
drugs, giving criminals access to
weapons and dealing with interna
tional drug kingpins.
Ron DeLord, CLEAT president,
criticized Bush’s support for use of
the death penalty.
“We have the death penalty in
Texas,” DeLord said. “Obviously, it
won’t solve the nation’s problems,
because it hasn’t solved our prob
lems.”
“We are not better off the we were
eight years ago,” DeLord said. “We
are at war, a guert ilia war without
any resources and if they put Dan
Quayle in charge of this — God help
us.”
Bentsen lauded Dukakis’ record
on crime, saying the Massachusetts
governor increased the number of
officers on the police force, lowered
the crime rate and attacked drug
problems through an education ef
fort in high schools.
“You’ve seen this administration
talk about substantial amounts of
money going back to local law en
forcement officials to fight the war
against crime and then turn amid
as soon as the new year startedi:
try to keep those funds fromgotij
down to the local enforcementoT
cials,” Bentsen said.
A private meeting with Hispari
supporters that followed the dm
conference was an “opportunitv
discuss with him some of ourca
cerns and recommendations,
stale Sen. Carlos Truan, DO
Christi.
Store celebrates
50th anniversary
PALESTINE (AP) — A down
town landmark in this East Texas
town, T he Jay Shop, will celebrate its
50th anniversary under the same
management next month. That falls
nine years short of Hazel Condos’
complete history with the clothing
store.
“I started with the store in 1929
when it was on Spring Street where
Pacific Finance is today,” Condos
said.
Condos, 78, is part owner of The
Jay Shop. When she went to work
for the original owners at age 19, she
was “salesgirl, janitor and everything
else.”
Robert Totah, whose father
bought The Jay Shop in 1938, refers
to Condos as his second mother.
“This place has been her life
really,” Totah said.
Condos was born in Lebanon. At
age 2, she arrived in Texas with her
father, mother and a 1-month-old
sister.
Her family had relatives in Pales
tine and her father opened a small
store specializing in notions.
In 1929, Wolf and Elke Kelfer
opened The Jay Shop at its first loca
tion on Spring Street.Jay was the
middle name of a relative in the
Kelfer family, Condos said.
“The inventory was maybe three
dozen dresses, the most expensive of
which was SI6,” Condos said
the only employee."
The shop survived the Depres
years because of the local oil boom
the Tucker area.
In 1931, the shop moved to
200 block of West Main Stref
where, after numerous expansion
it remains today.
In 1938, the Totalis bought
the Kellers “and took me inthete
die,” Condos said.
“The Lotahs are not my relativs
but Bobby is like my ovvnson,”Cot
dos said. “Some relatives don’tgt
along that good.”
The lotahs sell ready-to-wet
clothing and began offering service
such as alterations and fitters,
said.
The secret of The Jay Shop'slooj
standing success has always beet
good service, she said.
That service has maintained Ik
Jay Shop while oilier downtor
businesses have died out or move:
away to shopping centers.
“When customers start coni!
back, you know that you’ve actor
plished something,” Condos said.
Condos always lias been the key#
The Jay Shop’s emphasis on semct
Totah said.
“She has a great rapport with»
tomers,” Totah said. “She ato
knows what they want.”
^ Freshmen Volunteers Needed e
The Texas legislature passed a bill establishing the Texas Academic Skills
Program that requires students entering college to take the TASP test beginning
in 1989. The TASP test will also replace the Pre-Professional Skills Test (PPST)
for students in teacher education fields. Texas A&M University will be serving
as a test site for the TASP test field trial on Tuesday, October 18. We need
volunteers to represent TAMU in this state-wide field trial. The field trial will
take approximately 11/2 to 2 hours. Two sessions will be held, one from 10:00
a.m. to 12:00 noon and the other form 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. There is no charge to
participate in the field trial.
The TASP test consists of three skills: Math, Reading, and Writing.
Students who participate will have an opportunity to judge their mastery of
academic skills and help the state of Texas develop the best possible test for
colleges and universities.
To participate in the TASP test field trial or for additional information,
please call 845-0532.
