Complains About Buses
Entirely Unventilated."
To the Editor Of The Star:

AZ tus EuItoI UA Inv othE
I feel that the sailors who 60 down
under the sea in submarines get entirely
too much credit for heroism. The horror
Of the undersea boat springs from the
|, threat of suffocation, of death from lack
of oxygen. 1t is not generally appreciated
the fatal day arrives.
Nor is the heroism of the Washington
bus commuter appreciated. He is forced
to half die twice day. For half hour,
morning and evening, he breathes and
rebreathes his own breath and that of
some 40 other people crowded into a
steel capsule apparently entirely un-
ventilated except for a small aperture
beside the driver which only admits
fumes from the engine and carbon
monoxide from the bus ahead. Windows
never are opened. 1t simply is not done.
I call attention of the F. B. I. to this
situation. 1t is my conviction that it
represents a deliberate sabotage scheme
to sicken thousands of Washingtonians

In the first place, at least half the
people attending were unable to get into
the hall and had to 60 home. I stood
for more than an hour, being anxious to
do my part in the defense of my COM
munity. I heard the Boy Scouts put
something on, participated in the singing

well-meaning but extremely dull Navy
officer speak at great and exhausting
length about what happened to Jap

and how Japs, being inches shorter than
Americans, could build ships with lower
decks and hence cheaper. When the
police officer for our neighborhood was

Ingredient
Authentic Furnishings
Create Atmosphere

Creating an atmosphere in a
room is like baking a cake. If
you want a chocolate cake. you
put chocolate in it. If you want a
cocoanut cake, you put cocoanut
in it. And if you want an Early
American room, don't stop at the
furniture-throw in the rest of
the ingredients.
The icing in the Early American
room consists of rugs, chintz,
ornaments.
Let's take an Early American
dining room for example. Knotty
pine paneling is first choice for all
or part of the background or wall
of room. Next a wall paper or
plain straw colored paint. The
rug should be within II to is
inches from the wall in an Early
American pattern, and curtains in
a quaint pattern.
Pads for the rush seats of maple
chairs should be made of the
materials of the curtain or a har-
monizing material, in a pattern or
solid color. Toby jugs and brass
candlesticks on the mantel and a
coaching print in a maple frame
over it, add authenticity to your
Early American setting
