Cured Spanish Moss Used
For Stuffing Upholstery

Much of the upholstered furniture
being made today contains a
springy stuffing which once grew on
the trees of our southern states.
The Spanish moss one sees hang
ing so gracefully from the trees OF
Florida, Louisiana. Texas and their
neighboring states is pulled from
the trees, or gathered from the
ground after a storm, to be con-
verted into stuffing for furniture,
automobile seats and railroad car
seats. In spite of the name, how
ever, this moss is not actually moss.
but a type of air plant. 1t can grow
on almost anything which will give
it support, and it gets moisture for
growth from the air. The moss
must be cured, cleaned and combed
before it is suitable for use. Other
wise, the strong fibers on it's outer
covering would eventually flake off
and become dusty.
Although the green moss loses
more than three-fourths of its
weight during curing and ginning,
total production of the black ginned
moss in the United States amounts
to more than 10 million pounds
year. Pickers, who gather Spanish
moss as source of income during
off-season, are paid from 70 cents
to one dollar for each 100 pounds.
BY the time it is cured and baled,
it is worth about five dollars per
100 pounds.

18th Century Women Wore
Masks to Bar Wind, Sun

Until the 10Th century, fashion
able women of America protected
their compilations from cold wind
and hot sun by wearing masks,
winter ones being made of velvet
and summer ones of silk or linen.
Unlike other masks, they were
held in place either by the hand
or, when both hands were needed
as in riding, by a silver mouth
piece inserted between the teeth.

SIowness Of COP Congress
Draws Sharp Criticism


Three months have passed since
the Goth congress convened, and the
Republicans still are mired down or
both the domestic and foreign
fronts.
They admit it and are chatting al
criticism directed at them from
throughout the country. Most of the
critics go on the theory that the vot'
ers gave the Republican congress
men a mandate to change things
quickly for the better . on labor
taxes, governmental expenditures

items which were made in hasty
campaign promises.

house to house searches of Ne
 gro sections. I have never seen
 or heard of such a search being
 made of white sections with colored deputies.
 These are only a few causes of mistrust, fear, and discontent that stimulate race riots of the worst kind. Until we learn to love, and equally trust our tan American brothers, there will always be that awful stigma of race riots hanging over our heads. We as true democratic Americans should learn the golden rule, ''Love Thy Neigh Dor As Thyself'' and apply it to our everyday activities. It is with a feeling of pride, assur- ance, and faith, that I say our city, the city of Middletown, is taking care of all its citizens intelligently. We have been fortunate in not having many problems here because we try to face them as fair-minded Americans.

Cont. from Page 5

on to believe he IS slscere.
 The ever present orgy of race riots are with us after every war. There are so many causes of this unnecessary spilling of American blood, that 1 will not attempt to tabulate them. It IS however, possible to touch the fringes of a few outstanding mistakes and evils that insti- gate the bloddiest of race riots.
 The first is the policy of over crowding Negro families into strictly segregated novels. There is nothing more disgust ing, discouraging and deplor- able than the slums in which some of our colored American citizens have to live. They are forced into these jungles of di- sease, germs and discomfort by restrictive covenants.
 These restrictive covenants are really the outgrowth of "old wives" tales and fear of the opposite race to the prog ress of their tan brothers. The theory of restricting a section of a city to a specific race has been proven to be as full of holes as a sieve.
 In sections where Negroes have been permitted to inte- grate there have been none of this racial tension, after neigh bors have grown to know and trust each other.
 It has long been a close asso- citation between the Negro peo- ple and rundown sections such as the waterfront or the rail- road tracks. The new Amerl- can Negro, the tan American who has made his money on skilled and semi-skilled jobs during the war, wants to spend that same on a home in the better sections of the city. They also have small ones they wish to bring up in a decent, clean environment.
 Is it too much to wonder why these tan Americans are dlscon- tented living in filthy neighbor- hoods while their white broth CTS have the pick of the city?
 Some other contributing fac tors to race riots are the actions of some of our newspapers and police forces. First let us take the newspaper. Their handling of stories concerning race con- fict is so biased as to incite dis trust an dbitterness into all Negroes. You always see pie lures of these tan Americans badly beaten or surrendering to in absolute fear of their lives. There is always present the tendency to everyday the wrong doings of the Negro and under play the bad acts of the opposite race.
 Now this is where our police come in for some criticism. Al tho11ph there has been great

District Rent Control
Bill Seen Slated for
Early Senate Passage

Early Senate passage OF the House
bill extending the District Rent Con-
troll Act until next March 81 was
forecast today by Senate District
Committee members.
Chairman Buck, Republican of
Delaware, reported 1t to the Senate
late yesterday following committee
approval. The committee acted
after its counsel, James r. Kirkland,
explained that the existing law "is
broad enough to give IA per cent
across-the-board increase in rents
by virtue of the recently proposed in
crease of Is cents over the present
tax rate on the valuation Of s100
for real estate in the District"
Mr.. Kirkland's memorandum also
noted that the rent control office
here has operated with % employees
on a 100000 Office budget as COM
pared with employment OF several
hundred under OPA in cities of
similar size.
1866 Cases Filed.
The committee counsel said IS ,665
cases were filed as of last June 80
and 33,621 were disposed of with
the rent control administrator being
reversed only once in 80 appeals to
Municipal Court.
The practice under the District of
Columbia Rent Control Act has been
an effort to control rent under the
doctrine of compatibility" Mr.
Kirkland commented "It would
appear that the practice under OPA

Building Inspection Bill.
II approved with one amend
ment, the House bill governing IL
censing and inspection of CONNER
cia1 buildings. AS reported to the
Senate by Senator McGrath, the
measure would exempt houses with
four roomers or less. Committee
members said the House bill
seemed to apply to houses that
have only one or two roomers"
Another House bill reported by
the committee would allow the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to ex-
tend It's siding near Franklin street
NE.
The committee deferred action or
the bill for a two-platoon system in
the Washington Fire Department
Members explained that no objec-
tions were raised, but 1t was de-
cided to consider the measure later
because provisions would not take
effect until the 1949 fiscal year.
