South Will Lead Nm InterraciaHisR17 Priest Predicts

New York-A prediction that the South will be in the van guard of the interracial move ment in a few years was made here by Rev. John LaFarge, s. J., editor of America and chap lain of the Catholic Interracial Council, at the groups weekly Ferum-Tea.
 He expressed the belief that the reactionary "white supre- macy" clements will be pushed into the background while the liberal clements will become more and more influential.
 As a factor in this trend, he cited the statement made re- gently by the Superior of the Jesuit Fathers in the Southern Province, who said that in his opinion the number one wop$ of the Jesuit priests under his jurisdiction is the promotion of interracial justice and better race relations.

den, is only block away. He sees
me every day, but mother suspects
nothing, and I am afraid it would
break her heart. She is gentle and
lovely and only wants everyone to
be happy"
This letter is signed, "tearfully,
Floretta." And to Floretta I say in
answer, that have given her prob
lem some thought, and my definite
advice is for her to marry Barney,
stay on in her mothers house for a
week or two, then break the news
and move to her new home.
Happy Possibilities.
I tell you this, Floretta, for several
reasons. The main one is that no.
body is doing particularly well as
things are now. With lovely home
only a few minutes walk away,
you can see your mother daily. You
can come in with flowers, bowl of
berries, new book. You can carry
off the small haf-sisters for long
afternoons of play at Barney's
house. You can do infinitely more
good to these three than you can as
the drudge and dependent of an un
disciplined tyrant of man.
Harry meanwhile will have to find
some sort of servant for your moth
er. He will growl and criticize
her less than he did you. He won't
dare antagonize and anger her.
You will be the dignified, and l
believe truly and completely happy,
little wife of a wiser and Finder
man, in whom both your parents
trust. From the outside you can do
thousands helpful things for
your mother that you cannot do
now.
There is another consideration.
Your mother took a lover when you
were small and sensitive and could
be deeply hurt by it. She separated
you from your father and broke up
your home. That you have re-
manned sweet and considerate un-
der the circumstances is far more
to your credit than hers. She
wrecked your life without much con-
Germ for your comfort. This safe,
sane marriage gives you a protec-
tor, home, affectionate companion
ship, and may easily lead to a deep,
true married love. My best wishes
are with you.

applique helps dress up tablecloths
and napkins, towels or pot holders.
Even if these are made of inexpen-
sive cottons like checked gingham,
a little flower applique in the corner
of a solid material that picks up
one of the colors in the check will
add much to the decorative value.
Another little sewing trick you
might investigate for dressing up
purposes is the transfer pattern,
which can be worked in different
colored threads to add gay touches
to cloths, towels and aprons. If you
can buy nice quality white material
and set of transfer patterns, they
are easy to apply, and time spent
sewing them will repay you well.
If you prefer to stay with the SIM
pier, classic decorative motifs, you
will find many binding tapes back
on the market from which to choose
for edgings of different types. These
are very simple to put on and add
gay, bright touches even to the SIM
plest towels, napkins or tablecloths.
Cross stitch is one of the easiest
to sew, and yet if it is done in good
colors, 1t can add much to the ap-
peal of cloth or towel, or apron
edging.
If you can crochet, there are such
things as place mats and edgings
which will look ever so much more

Refinishing Stoves

Only heat resisting paints made
especially for stoves and stove
pipes, which are procurable in
paint stores SHOULD be used on
cooking and heating equipment,
which is likely to become hot. Be-
fore applying paint remove any
traces of rust with emery cloth and
kerosene or with one of the new
rust removers which come in tubes,
being careful to remove any traces
of the kerosene or rust remover
before applying the paint. These
instructions do not apply to ordi-
nary radiators which can be paint
ed with regular paint, but only to
stoves and pipes which may be-
come much hotter than radiators.

Refinishing Furniture

When refinishing furniture which
is only slightly gagged or scratched,
it is sometimes practical to apply
several coats of the finish to the de-
pressions in the wood, to level them
off with the surface before applying
the refinishing coat to the entire
surface. If the gauges or scratches
are too deep to be properly filled
with the finish, they should be fill
ed with wood putty, plastic wood,
or other suitable compounds, sold
by paint dealers, left until thor
oughly dry, and then sandpapered
to provide a smooth even surface
for refinishing. If clear finish is to
be used care should be taken to use
a filling material to match the color
of the wood. ;

Artificial Fiber

An artificial fiber from which
bristles for brushes can be made
is now being manufactured from
casein. The bristle is made by fore
ing a mixture of casein and water
through a suitable die, and then
subject that to finishing OPP
erations. 1t is particularly adapted
to construction of paint brushes,
since the casein bristle is resistant
to oils and organic solvents.

A very simple way of making
breakfast mats is simply to use
pinking shears for trimming the
edges of oilcloth rectangles. Such
mats may be used on the summer
porch or in the breakfast nook.
Plastic Material Makes
Nice Gifts
Among the presents you can
make for less than S. are the plastic
kitchen curtain sets or shower sets.
These plastic materials, as I've ex-
planned before, are easy to sew pro-
vided you do not pull them, and use
a loose stitch. If the material be-
comes sticky, sprinkle it with tai
cum powder while working.
Either the kitchen curtain set or
the shower and bathroom window
set would make a very lovely gift
for the new bride. You can find out
what her color scheme will be, and
whether she lives in a furnished or
unfinished place, an extra set or
two Of these will be extremely well
come.
Of course the plastic materials
also may be used for all sorts of
aprons, too-coveralls or dainty tea
aprons. The material will ruffle
nicely, and it does not take long to
make any one of these items If you
have sewing machine at your
disposal. ,....
Plastic materials such as these
are nice to give also, because they
are such an aid to keeping launder-
ing under control. The newlyweds
appreciate any help along these
lines.

In log cabin days, a dowry was
not complete unless it included sew

Inexpensive Homemade Gifts
Make Hit at Bridal Shower
BY G,tha Haley

THE bridal spirit is very much in
L the air these days as we catch
ourselves in the midst of many we'd
dings and showers. I feel that the
woman who maintains a home is
best able to anticipate the needs of
the bride-to-be and hers should be
the singular honor of getting to-
gether some of the linens and
kitchen supplies for the new home
maker.
Only those of us who are in the
midst of household activities can
know how potholders wear out, how
essential supply of clean towels
IS, or how good it is to go to the
closet for extra table and napkin
sets when we've been rushed with
company.
Prices on such small items as
these currently run higher than
most of us can afford, yet they can
be made easily in just a few eve
nings at home. Why not plan a sew
ing bee for the bride just before the
shower and gather some of her
friends together, and see what you
can whip up? You can accomplish
more for less money this way than
in any other.
Some of you probably are saying
that the high price of materials
does not warrant too much sewing,
and I will grant that this is true to
a certain extent, but you still can
sew for less money than you can
buy.
Then, too, there are such things
as flour and sugar sacks that will do
beautifully for bridge sets or towels.
Scraps of material such as every
one of us has will make nice edg-
ings for hand or glass towels, or
even pot holders.
If you can't crochet, there are a
number of trims and edgings now
available which will perk up plain
white towels and bridge sets-or
aprons-and they're easy to put on
even without sewing machine.
Needlework Makes
Sewing Attractive
If you have a little time and are
willing to spend it on making simple
things look more attractive than
just plain sewing will do, you can
turn out many lovely things.
I am thinking particularly of how
nice little time spent in using

Poor Laundry Bag

Substituting sheets or pillow
cases for laundry bags shortens the
life of the sheeting because of the
strain of holding a load of clothes
plus extra soil and wear acquired

attractive because of your ability.
One of the incest place mat sets
that I've ever seen was crocheted
in white and yellow-but of course
you may use all white or any color
combination. Then the mats were
starched as stiff1y as possible and
carefully pressed by running the
iron over and over them several
times until they were as crisp as
straw. The mats will not soil readily
and since their washing, when it is
necessary, is so simple, any bride
would be very happy to receive
them.
Don't be alarmed about making
mats, if you do not crochet. There
are so many different ways to make
them, as well as styles of mats that
your choice is unlimited.
Many Different Ways
To Make Place Mats
One of the simplest sets which
know of uses solid white material
such as good quality muslin or
organdie. The only decoration on
the whole mat is contrasting
colored binding, very daintily ap-
piled so it looks neat and withstands
wear. If you are making a set of
four, it is easy enough to complete
the set with four napkins of the
same material to match.
If you are able to do stitching of
any kind, use crossstitch motif in
the corner or around the edges. Or,
for more elaborate design, appli-
que a spray of flowers in one cor
ner. A decorative machine stitch
also may be used with a contrasting
colored thread.
There are any number of ways
you might try weaving mats, too.
These may be made in fiesta-like
color combinations, and they are a
very attractive present. Ask the art
student in the family about ways to
do this.
