A
Woman's
World
By Nellie c. Jones

If you have a knack with the
needle, the chances are that you
enjoy using your knack in max
ing your own clothes and, at
Christmas time, hand made gifts
for your family and friends. But
that knack can also play an i'm
portant part in keeping the dress
maker happy, earning a small in
come and keeping busy with what
she likes to do.
This sort of work will be ex-
cellent practice for girls who must
begin her earning of a livelihood
at the earliest possible moment.
Unquestionably she should con-
slider commercial dressmaking as
a r Don't think this means
sitting at home waiting for work
to come to you.
That kind of sewing is chiefly
for the dressmaker who is obliged
to stay at home to take are of
small children or keep an eye on
an invalid member of her family.
Nor does it mean going out to
sew by the day, although such
work has it's advantages.
The kind of dressmaking I sug-
gest is in a regular job Of eight
hours a day, five and a half or
six days a week, except in rush
seasons when overtime might be
necessary. Under present labor
laws, this extra work would add
a few welcome dollars to the
weekly pay check.
Among the interesting jobs in
the field of commercial dressmak-
ing are: sketcher, designer, drap-
er, pattern maker, filter, maker,
and finisher. Jobs of this sort are
found in nearly all custom-made

Oppose The Compulsory
Features of FEPC Taft

Senator Taft passed through
Dayton yesterday seeking to pre-
vent a steel" of delegates by the
popular Harold Stassen who made
quite an impression with local Re-
publicans.
Yesterday morning Taft met
with three groups to discuss their
particular problems, to voice his
views on the various issues which
vitality affect the American peo-
pie. He first met with the local
Zionist group and announced his
firm stand on the United Nations
partition plan which the admins
tration recently scuttled, thereby
thwarting the aspirations Of a
large sector of the Jewish and
Arabian peoples. Taft spoke quite
eloquently for the partition. 1t
only remains to be seen just what
he does when the time for senate
action comes.
The second group Taft met with
was the Dayton chapter of the
World Federalists. This is a group
which strives to bring about a
federation of world powers in a
common, united world state. All
nations would be urged to partici-
pate. All would be subject to an
international code of law modi-
fled, of course, to meet the spec
ific problems of individual ma
tions. lit is an enlargement of

Dropping Of Poll Taxs
Brings Better
Government.

NEW YORK, April %. (ANP)
The dropping Of the pol tax in
Georgia has brought about better
government and more interest in
government among the people,
Lillian Smith, a native of Geor-
gia, declared in a recent article
printed in the ADA World, pub
lished by the Americans for Demo-
cratic Action.
In describing Georgia in its poll
tax days she told of a state where
the poor people knew that gov
eminent was not for them. She
told how from time to time "some-
body" paid peoples poll taxes and
herdede them to the polls and told
them who to vote for.
"Anyone who had watched this
happen and who loves mans free
dom knows the poll tax is no small
evil as some say c%arelessly, but
termites crumbling the founda-
tons of democracy" she said.
Since two and a half years ago
when the poll tax was abolished
in Georgia, she wrote, the picture
has changed. People who have
never voted, and never thought
to do so are now watching their
votes and scrutinizing the candi-
dates.
"Workers on my farm" she
said, planting corn in the field,
will stop in the middle of a fur
row to talk politics. Five years
ago, they didn't care who was
elected or why. But they care
now and it is hard to fool them.
Their free vote has become too
precious to waste.
"This is what keeps our coun-
try free, what keeps men strut
ting their independence and shout
ing their opinions to tn skies"
The Ohio daily-express. (Dayton, Ohio) 1946-1950, 1948-04-28

the United Nationls organization.
Taft did not respond too favor
ably to this group. He feared
that it would infringe on the sew
ereignity of the individual ma
tons. 1t would interfer with ma
tional autonomy.
Last, but far from least, the
Dayton chapter Of the National
Council for a Permanent FEPC
spent rs minutes with the Sena-
tor from Ohio. Without twisting
or squirming, or hedging he flatly
asserted that he was against the
Ives bill now before the senate,
because of it's enforcement fea-
lures. This was expected Of Taft.
He has been unalterably opposed
to anything but what he calls
voluntary" efforts to bring about
fair employment.
81 oppose the compulsory fea-
lures of the proposed FEBC bill.
I oppose the general interference
of the federal government in la
Encouragement relations in every
individual case where an employee
is hired or fired"
Taft, of course, ignored that
fact that the proposed Ives bill is
one which is almost completely
without compusion. Any direc-
tives issued by the proposed F.
E. P. c., commission must be
