Parent eucher Activities
y MRS. P. C. ELLETT, President
District Of Columbia Consress of Parents

AS We approach one of our great
est national holidays and one that is
typically American, I am sure we
do so with mixed emotions. Many
of us will be spending our first
Thanksgiving with the family cir
Gle incomplete, fathers, sons and
daughters in many instances being
at the far corners of the earth.
There may be a feeling of futility
over the celebration of this national
feast day, for We may regard it in
the nature of travesty.
But, if we examine closely into
our way of life, l am sure We shall
find many things for which to be
thankful, and perhaps We shall be
more than little ashamed of our
selves for the momentary doubts
We may have harbored. We are at
war, yes. We shall undoubtedly be
at war for many months to come. We
are undergoing many unexpected
hardships but for the most part, we
are shouldering our share of what
ever burdens may be upon us, and
are carrying on, secure in the belief
that ultimate and lasting peace will
be the result of this present turmoil.
We are being rationed in many
ways, not only so far as food is
concerned, but rationed as to the
amount of travel we may enjoy,
rationed in the kind and number
of labor saving appliances We may
buy: rationed in the services we may
employ, to mention but few But
this kind of living makes for self
discipline. and no other acquired
trait is more valuable.
There are also many things in
which we are not rationed, and these
things are the important ones. We
are not rationed in our freedom to
60 to church-any church. We are
not rationed in our freedom of
speech. in our privileges of walking
where We please and when we please
We may still enjoy the companion
ship of our friends, without fear of
Gestapo methods in determining
W1ldV VIC dIC dOllls. Hllu CNCll IL Jul
sons and daughters, perhaps our
husbands, are in the armed services,
we may write them whenever we
please, and we may have a genuine
pride in the way they are conduct
ing themselves.
So, if we study the picture of our
present-day living from all angles,
1 am sure we shall find many, many
reasons for giving thanks to God.
And as we worship in our churches,
and around our family tables on
Thursday, let us not forget to in
clude in our prayers, the petition
that there be speedy and victorious
end to the present war and that
humanity all over the world be so
imbued with the principles of the
golden rule that war will be for
ever banished from the earth.
Stuart Junior High.
The association will meet tomor-
row at 8 pm. A pageant will be

the Lost Cause of the Confed-
eracy," including the collection in
the museum in Richmond, Va.
In this work, Mrs. Richey believes
she also helps preserve the ideals
of the men who fought and died
under these flags.
With her mothers net stitch on
linen background, Mrs. Richey
since has used many ingeniously
blended supplementary stitches,
which she improvised to met specific
needs. These net stitches relieve
the strain upon the original ma
terials in the old flags and place
it upon the supplementary linen
background, which is dyed to CORE
spond to the original fabrics. "Ab-
solutely nothing" she emphasizes,
''is ever added to one of these his
toric flags except these net stitches
and the linen backgrounds. The
process is preservation not resto-
ration"
Sometimes" she says, "the pres
erVatlon of an historic flag can
be accomplished only by months of
painstaking research on the original
appearance of the flag and the ap-
plication Of special remedial needle
craft and handicraft processes" A
number of these she herself has
invented Her collection of rare
needleWork and tapestry books is
one OF the most complete private
ones in this country.
Works in Mornings.
Mrs. Richey does most of the work
IN the morning. In this way she
finds there is a minimum of con-
f1ict with her home life. She has
son and daughter.
Sometimes, on the preservation
OF large collection of flags. she
employs as many as 60 to 80 skilled
needleworkers, usually recruited and
trained from home maker groups.
Her first large commission. the
preservation of the New England
flags for Massachusetts, took the
better part of four years to COM
plete.
Having respite from home cares
at the Fairfax Hotel while her hus-
band is on duty here, Mrs. Richev is
eagerly expecting her daughter
Katherine home from Vassar for the
Thanksgiving holidays. Whether
the daughter will continue the
skilled art of needlework and color
processes which enabled her grand
mother and her mother to con-
tribute so much to the preservation
OF Americas flags is entirely for
katherine to determine, Mrs.
Richey said.
There isn't a greater thrill or
satisfaction than having a badly
tattered flag, which has stood for
some great moment in your countrv's
history, emerge triumphantly from
its remnants into something of its
original source of inspiration" she
added.

with findings to be reported within
the year arrived at on the basis of
a complete postwar program for the
travel industry.
Answers Sought.
Answers to such questions as these
are sought:
l. How long will it take the auto
mobile industry to replace cars being
worn out now?
2. How long will it take the Ma
tons railroads to renovate and re-
place badly deteriorated equip
ment?
3. How long will it take the air.
lines to set up postwar systems and
schedules and find the passenger
planes to fly them? (Can bombers
be converted?)
4. How soon will there be enough
rubber for extended auto trips?
An attempt also will be made to
project the shape of postwar travel
competition. Some factors to be
studied include:
l. The Governments plans for oul
greatly expanded merchant marine
2. How will the development O.
the Alaska Military and Pan
American Highways change tn.
touring habits of the American
motorist.
3. A complete picture of wha
postwar globalair travel will be like
The survey also will analyze sug
gestions which have been offered tt

United States such as an inter

barrage of foreign competition.

Randolph Says Negroes
Support Cradle to the
Grave Post War Program

New York City, March IT, 1943
Because $500 of the Negro
people are workers who sell their
labor in the market from day to
day for wages with which they
buy food, clothing, shelter, edu-
cation, recreation and entertain
ment, they along with the white
workers and under-privileged
group of America, should welcome
and support the postwar recon-
struction Cradle to the Grave
Program formulated by the Ma
tional Resources Planning Board
and presented to the Congress by
President Roosevelt. Without this
program which. though splendid,
= quite inadequate, the Negroes
and the workers in the postwar
world will be ground to bits by
he juggernaut of a ruthless Fas-
cist capitalism. observed Mr..
Randolph. International President
Of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters.
