1t Needn't Cost Much Money
To Keep i'm Fashion Step
By Eleni

How original can you be? The
trouble with most Teenas is that
they aren't even a wee bit original
where it counts.
Marcia was recently voted the
best-dressed girl in the class. You
say you don't understand how, be-
cause she doesn't have the most
clothes. Maybe. But Marcia knows
how to wear what she does have IN
her own smart individual manner.
Perhaps she is able to take to a
new fashion with ease-for example,
the pretty little basket pictured,
The stores are filled with them.
Marcia could only afford one good
bag this summer, so she thought OF
using the very cute little bread
basket her mother brought back
with her from her visit to Canada.
She sewed on top in her favorite
cotton fabric, put a drawstrlng
through it, and what she achieved
was a very neat, stylish basket
purse.
Other smart Teenas have been
dropping hints to their parents to
bring home little wine basket from
their trips in town. Still others
have been going down to the mar
ket and getting baskets and lining
them themselves.
A fashion is only as good as your
Interpretation of it. Remember
that you can always improvise on
a fashion theme. We cite you the
case of the basket bag. The same
thing holds true of a number OF
other things. Being original and at
the same time practical Is some
thing you should learn early in the
fasi1ior1 game.

some of them. It's a good idea be-
cause then your dresses will retain
their crisp quality for a longer
period.
A few suggestions for cool summer
living include bathing each day
having plenty of fresh under
clothes, using an anti-perspirant
keeping your hair neat and always
freshly shampooed and using lightly
scented cologne in your bath ano
on you. If keeping polish on your
nails is a lot of trouble because
of constant chipping, do away with
that annoyance and use a colorless
polish. The chipping doesn't show
as much that way.

To the Editor:

would like to bring TO the
attention of Star readers our
experiences with the paper in
our neighborhood and ward
and our plans for using the
week by-week canvassing of
The Star to help find precinct
workers for the Progressive
Citizens of America chapter
here.
For over a year now we have
been making people acquaint-
ed with Chicago's burning
problems. and those of the ma
ton. too. by selling them cop
les of The Star weekly.
Throughout the campaigns for
independent candidates we re-
lied on The Star as part of
our campaign material because
it always linked the program
of our candidates with the is
sues in Chicago.
Now we find that these Star
readers, many of them store
keepers and community lead
ers, are very anxious to come
into PEA and to inform their
friends that there is a progress
sive party in the making, one
which can give them the ex-
preston so long denied to
them by machine politicians.
They know that every vote

In these troubled days a few

open up new vistas to the peo-
pie of Chicago. If every worker

with If and Pea material. the
problem of finding group of

GERTRUDE MOVES

To our readers

The Chicago Star has re-
ceived number of letters
commenting on the past ac-
Invites sof Harrison Parker,
who has accused the Chicago
Tribune of failing to pay
millions of dollars to the
state in taxes.
At the time The Star re-
ported the controversy, it
was uniformed about GER
tain past activities of Mr..
Parker.
One reader accused Mr..
Parker of prejudice against
certain minority groups. An
other claimed to have knowl-
edge of questionable stock
market transactions by Mr..
Parker involving shares in
cOOperaIlVeS.
The Star is sorry that it
was unable to go into Mr..
Parkers background more
fully before printing the
story. However it must be
recalled that The Star, in
the article in question, did
not express unqualified APP
proval of Mr.. Parker. 1t
merely reported his long
legal battle with the Tribune.
One Star reader closed his
letter, which was highly
critical of Mr.. Parker, with
this statement: 81 still wish
him success against the
Tribune"

To the Editor:
One night as I lay fast asleep
1 dreamed a glorious dream:
I saw some men, red, white,
and black.
OF every color, of every
creed.
And they we're brothers;
They all were ON one team.
And then they sang a song
of brotherhood,
A song of love and life and
light
A song for one and all.
Oh, in the future may there
be
A place for you, a place for
me.
No meter of my skin or
creed.
Oh. this is a bright fine new
world indeed.

countries who don't happen to
share the political economic and
social ideas of Pres. Truman
and the Taft-Hartley Congress.
THOUGH it has often been
alleged no one has produced
proof of Intervention in China
or Greece by any other power,
Maj. George Fielding Eliot, a
very right-wing military COM
mentator, wrote after more than
"a billion in u. S. aid had gone
to Chang Kai-shek that "there
has been no evidence that either
American officials or American
correspondents have been able
to discover to prove that the
Russians have been giving any
direct help to the Chinese Com
muniSts."
The Greek royalists have re-
ceived hundreds of millions of
dollars worth of u. S. arms and
advisory help. But allegations
of Yugoslav, Bulgarian and Al
bantam aid to their opponents
have been limited to statements
that wounded guerrillas recup-
crate in hospitals in these neigh
boring states.
Nc one has seen any foreign
arms, money or technicians
with the 'rebel" forces.
AS for the egging on of Am
erican-bought reactionaries to
kill their own compatriots, the
United Press reported Feb. 10
that a U. S. Col Augustus J.
Regnier of Providence, r. I.
took the lead when a Greek
major commanding battalion
was hesitant in pushing his
troops forward"

portance of using these troops
in counter-thrusts if the wors-
ening situation is to be i'm
proved" The only foreign mill
tary observers with Chiang's
forces are Americans, who are
not observers at all but instruc-
tor advisers.
All these maneuVerS reflect
two extremely unAmerican fea-
