With a touch of the Rue De
La Paix, showing some of the
rustling gowns Paris has to offer
from its famous named street as
we'll as her American creations,
the glamorous and adorable
MARVA, as she is affectionately
known, helped to make Fashion
eta" the social event of the sea-

Possessed of loads of charm, a
winning personality and with her
ability at ramp and Photographic
modelling, Marva reflects a re-
fined and professional touch as
she journeys across the country,
delighting American women with
her talents. She has been be-
sieged with requests and there
fore, has had to extend her tour
another 90 days. Mrs. Louis ap-
peared in New Orleans during
Mardi Gras week and will appear
in many other cities after appear
ing in Jackson.
In her well-appointed home in
Chicago, H., where she cares for
her two children, Jacqulyn and
Joe Louis, Jr., Mrs. Louis makes
a hobby of collecting designs and
creating the original styles which
she models on her tours.
Some of the out-of-town models
were Mrs. Marguerite Rayford of
Grenada, Mrs. Ursula Blunt of
Crystal Springs, Mrs. Annie Pat
ton of Chattanooga, Tenn, and
Mrs. Catherine Johnson of Jack
son.
Miss Florence o. Alexander,
Chairman of the Planning Com
mittee, Mrs. Odessa Howard Wat

Community
Cleanup Makes
Neighborhood
Safer, Healthier

NEW YORK - Community
Spring Cleanup campaigns have
become a colored and white Ameri-
can tradition. More than 10000
communities observe cooperative
cleanup in the interest of safety
and health, reports the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, this
week.
Beyond the obvious benefits of
more attractive neighborhood and
healthier place for children to
grow, the National Board points
out there are many added benefits
that a cleanup brings. Fewer fires,
reduced Juvenile delinquency and
lower disease rates are some adj
vantages of a clean community.
In your neighborhood you can
join in a community cleanup by
contracting the local fire depart
ment, Chamber of Commerce, safe
ty council or other civic group to
see what plans have been made and
how you can fit in with them.
If there has been no organized
effort, get together with your
neighbors and look over your own
street. You may find eyesores or
vacant lots with collected rubbish
and other fire hazards. Refuse-fill-
ed lots are often breeding places
for flies, mosquitoes, rats and other
disease bearers. Clean them up. The
lots will then provide more play
space for children. You can prob
ably make neighborhood project
of equipping these vacant lots as
play areas for children.
After your neighborhood project
is under way, get other neighbor-
hoods to spruce up too. You'll help
make the entire community a bet
ter place to live.

Crisis Hits KrOck
For Race Bias

NEW YORK - Sharp issue with
Arthur Krock, who is his exclusive
interview with President Truman
in the New York Times editorializ-
ed on the Limitations" of Negroes
for filling certain types of jobs, is
taken in an editorial entitled
"Krock's Racial Crockery," in the
March issue of the Chrisis, official
organ of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
Mr.. Krock had asked the Presi-
dent why he favors FEPC and add
ed, "you know intimately the con-
ditions of the Negro race and the
limitations of it's capacity of capa-
city in the Negro" says The Crisis,
except those artifically imposed by
people like Mr.. Krock who wish
to keep Negroes employed as serv-
ants and casual laborers." Despite
the prejudice and discrimination

which limit their opportunity, the
editorial continues, NEGRO Ameri-
cans, by sheer grit in the face of
obstacles and insults, have achieved
enough distinction in a great varie-
ty of skills and professions to lay
to rest, in the minds of intelligent
men, the myth" of racial inferiori-

Fall Moth And
Carpet Beetle Control
Is Found Necessary

Forgotten but not gone in many
homes at fall housekeeping time
are carpet beetles and clothes
moths, says Louise r. Whitcomb,
Extension Home Management Spe-
cialist at the University of Della
ware. Many a housewife is un-
aware that with modern heating
these pests can thrive all winter.
Before winter woods and furs
are hung away, closets should be
cleaned and thoroughly sprayed
with five per cent DOT oil sOlu-
ton. A residual spray which leaves
an invisible film Of DOT on clos
ct surfaces is best. It can kill pests
coming in contact with it several
months after application. AerOsOl
bombs do not give lasting protec-
ton, killing insects reached when
the aerosol is released only.
DOT oil solution can be spray
ed lightly on wool clothes without
harming the garments or the wear
er. Use just enough to moisten the
fabric, recommends Miss Whit
comb. Too much of the solution
will leave white traces on dark
wool, but these can be sponged of
with dry cleaning fluid.
Often clothes moths are blamed
for carpet. beetle damage, accord
ing to Miss Whitcomb. It is the
carpet beetle larvae that eat mate
rails, they move around more than
clothes moth larvae, and are kill
ed more slowly by DDT-may not
die for several days after expos
ure to DOT. Apply plenty of the
solution to cracks in floors and
along baseboards. A 10 per cent
DOT dust blown into cracks will
give added protection.
Another tip to fall housecleaners
on insect control is: Clean warm
air ducts of dust and fuzz. They
make wonderful hiding places for
moths and beetles.
