SEWING MACHINE?

from Mrs. J. D., Takond Park
Will some of you kind readers
who bought sewing machine
through a mail order house give me
their opinion as to how they like 1t,
etc? I'm referring to the type that
sews backward. Would 1t be best
to wait and get famous make that
has shops all over the town? Would
appreciate all opinions, as it will
mean skimping to get one and would
like to be satisfied after 1 buy one.

"OLD RED SHAWL"
From Mrs. r. II. E., Upper
Marlboro.)
THAT LITTLE OLD RED SHAWL
MY MOTHER WORE.

MY MOTHER WORE.
1t is faded and torn,
That dear old shawl
BY Mother worn.
'Tis all that Is left
For this heart to adore.
To bring to mind those happy days OF yore
How often the hands to these folds have
That now beneath the daisies are at rest
The tears come unbidden ana sliently IAN;
To CLEAN like gems on Mothers old red
shawl.
Oh my heart often aches with dull
throbbinz pain.
And sadly think of the days chat are
Too Joyous and too beautiful to last.
Oh, fond. lovely childhood!
or one whose love every care could beguiiel
How gladly I'd hy from the worlds oi'tef
To seek the heart that throbbed beneath
this shawl.
1t is useful no more,
Yet I fondly adore ,
That dear OLD shawl my Mother wore.
And through life it shall be
loved treasure to me,
That little old red shawl my Mother wore.

two small boys and, like many
others, I keep plenty busy. I used
to save the RICH page only in part
and then regretted many times over
having discarded the mot inter-

many times what I want is right

Thanks to all for helpful sugges-

DYEING TAFFETA?

from Mrs. S. D. B., Bethesdd.)
have light blue taffeta skirt
which l wanted to have dyed black.
However, the cleaning establish
ments inform me that taffeta is one
material which they can't dye. Am

suggestions on doing this at home.
Will tints work at all? Or is there
any special dye that will work on

Civic Group 10 Garry
Fight 10 Congress for
New Cardozo School

The Federation OF Civic Associa-
tions last night voted to go to Con-
gress in its efforts tc replace the
present Cardozo Senior High School
at Ninth street and Rhode Island
avenue NV, with a new building.
The Federation has declared the
present structure is inadequate and
not comparable to similar institu-
tions for white students.
The group also set up special
committee to study the issue and
make recommendations. 1t added
that it would take legal action, If
no recourse is forthcoming from
Congress.
The motion which brought the
vote was made by John B. Duncan,
vice president, and seconded by
Fred Wilkinson, chairman of the
Federation's Recreation Committee.
Recently Before Board
Federation President Ernest F.
Harper recently brought up the
Cardozo issue at a meeting of the
Board of Education.
In other business last night, the
Federation approved the sending OF
a letter to President Truman, asking

Other Appointments Urged
In another letter to Commissioner
John Russell Young, the Federation
asked that other qualified Negroes
be named to the proposed District
FEPC, which was advocated Sep
tember 9 by Robert Taylor, pres
ident of the Civic Betterment Asso-
citation.
Commissioner Guy Mason was

publican or Democratic, just as they
please. In fact, the colored popula-
ton really has more freedom than
the rest of the electorate because it
has no tradition of following strict
pattern.
A Democrat, however, is he lives
in the South and if he is to remain
Democrat, has to vote with the
Democratic party. even if he does it
with anger in his heart and tears in
his eyes. Since the administration
banks on this, we see even a presi-
dent from Ahe southern state of Mis-
souri,, defying the wishes of his
friends below the, Mason Dixon.
I am not questioning any of the
supporters of civil rights and the
Constitution from the President
down, but there does remain the
fact of the Negro vote, and there re-
mains likewise many a warm per-
sonal and political friendship which
has to be subjected to a painful
ordeal. The split" is exciting to
watch whether with Sweet Adeline
or not.
And If you look across the aisle,
you'll see some more splinters.
Listen to this: If Repub-
lican leaders in congress want
TO win the political confidence of
both Republican and independ-
ent voters, they must stop try
ing to sell the program OF the
National Association Of Manu-
facturers as good Republican
doctrine :"
That wasn't Henry Wallace speak
ing, Nor Democratic national head
quarters.
That was Republican Sen. Wayne
Morse Of Oregon. Morse assails the
conservative leadership" OF his own
party as vigorously as he scores re-
action in the Democratic party.
l already have discussed Wallace
and his third party split" There
are those who think il Of so little
importance that it can be ignored.
Some now are predicting that be-
fore the election, Wallace will be
granted some concession, some ad-
vantage, and will come out for Tru-
man for president. l wouldn't go
that far, but l have heard the pre-
diction in more than one quarter.
Republicans are supposed TO
welcome Wallace to the race.
and TO count on him 10 cut down
the Democratic vote 20 some
thing almost Insignificant.
Let me quote Senator Morse on
that subject, as his words appeared
in an article in the February issue
of the Progressive magazine. Morse
says that Wallace mustn't be taken
too seriously, but that he mustn't be
ignored either. He adds:
