a short time, If sHA had started
with another kind Of policy.
Civic leaders here credit SHA's
firm policy with reducing racial
incidents on city buses and in
the factories during the tense
war period. The nondiscrimina-
ton pattern set at home - the
fundamental place to set it car
ried over into the workers other
activities.
Mr.. Ross credits SHA's ability
to operate with a minimum of
friction, in part, to the fine CO.
operation it has had from the
start from the mayor and other
groups in the city.
whenever friction threatened,
we had an effective Civic Unity
Committee that would step in and
get help" he said. This commit
tee, which operates without pub
licity, was sponsored as an after
math Of racial disturbances in
Detroit to prevent similar trouble
from arising here.
Prejudices UnaIded
AS an example of how it fore
stalls friction, Mr.. Ross told of a
barber who set up a shop Just
outside one project. 1t was learn
ed that by way of initial adver-
Using he intended sending cards
offering free haircuts to project
residents. But he wanted to send
them to white residents only. The
Civic Unity Committee persuaded
him not to carry out this overt
act of discrimination.
Dissatified neighbors some
times complain to the mayors Of
flee, Mr.. Ross says, but they
never get any responsible COM
munity support for their race
prejudices.
The SHA is also grateful for
the support it receives from the
local press, which refrains from
playing up the racial angle when
residents get involved in trouble
Of any kind.
Several residents of the pro-
jects confirmed the wisdom of
the nonsegregation policy. One
young Negro CT, who has been
living at Yesler Terrace while
studying at the university, told
me of his experiences in both
segregated and nonsegregated
areas in various parts of the
country.
Best In Long Run
"Nonsegregation is best in the
long rum" he said. when you
get to know people as you can
here, it's not so much the race as
the person that matters. You find
you can live in harmony and still
have prejudices, but your preju-
dices tend to lessen, whereas, if
you have segregation, it's like
having two armed camps, and
your prejudices increase"
A young wife from Montana
who had seen one Negro family
before she moved here, finds they
make good neighbors. In fact, one
of her best friends at Yesler Ter
race is a young Negro mother.
Charles Taylor, a Negro who is
cashier at Duwamish Bend and
resident of the project, told of
various Negroes from the South
who, by living in the project,
have been helped to overcome the
sensitive, chip-on-the-shoulder
attitude with which they arrived
up North.
Here" he said, they have
chance to show what they really
are as individuals and some of
them have become our most en-
thusiastic gardeners and best
housekeepers."
Lily Todo, a Nisei employee
and resident at Duwamish, CRATE
fully reported the friendliness
with which Japanese returning
from relocation camps were re-
ceived in the housing projects.

TEA TOWEL S

Homemakers generally agree
on the qualities they want in kit
chen towels, says Adela Ginter OF
the Missouri Experiment Sta
ton, Columbia, Missouri For
drying glass, silverware or dishes
theys want towels that are dur
able, soft, easily laundered, lint
less, good looking and reasonable
in price.
To learn which kind of towel
ing meets these specifications
best, Miss Ginter tested SO
towelings from local stores. They
included: all cotton, all linen,
cotton-linen mixtures, rayon-
linen mistures. Towels were test
ed after one laundering and after
use and SO launderings.
From the tests Miss Ginter
concludes that no one kind of
toWeling has all qualities desired.
For example, she found that the
rayon and the linen towels lost
strength with repeated washing
but absorbed moisture better,
while cotton gained strength and
absorbed moisture less. So she
suggests that the homemaker
should understand the qualities
OF different towelings, and then
buy according to what is most
important to her.
Towels generally increase in
absorption from the first to the
! 18th laundering, she finds, though
some cottons absorbs less after
much laundering.
Tightly twisted yarns and close
even weaves makes for durabili-
ty. Miss Ginter reports that the
reyon and all linen towels had
the least yarn twist and the low
est yarn count. Cottons were the
most firmly woven.
The linen and the rayon towels
lost weight with use and launder-
ing, but the cotton and cotton
linen towels generally held their
weight, or even increased it with
shrinkage.
, The cOttons and the cotton
linens shrank more than the lin
ems and the rayons. Shrinkage
made the towels heavier and
: more durable but less absorbent.
When tested for breakage af-
ter SO washings, the linens and
the rayons proved weakest.
Rayon towels held their white
ness. Unbleached cottons and lin
ems became whittier with washing.
But heavy firmly woven cotton
often is harder to wash white
than looser fabric.
As for cost, Miss Ginter re-
ports that the linen and the ray
on mixtures were most expen-
sivc. Plain cotton towels were de-
cidely cheaper than the average
toweling; the cotton-linen mix
lures next cheapest. Printed cot
tons cost more. Linen towelings
| were more than twice the cost of
the average of all.

may be heading for a fall
The National Safety Council
says the way to use ladders safe
ly is to:
/. Set the base of the ladder
one-fourth of the ladders height
from the wall.
2. Always face the ladder GO
ing up or down and hold on with
both hands-don't hurry.
3. Avoid leaning too far out
on the ladder-it is safer to move
the ladder.
a. Clean mud or grease from
your hands and shoes before
climbing.
S. Tools or materials that can
not be carried safely in pockets
should be hoisted with a hand
line.
6. Avoid climbing or working
on a ladder in high wind.
Don't use make-shift devices,
as chairs, boxes or tables. Severe
injury or even death can result
from falls even at low levels.

likely event that they fail, and the
Washington Huskies down Washing

the league membership to select the
Rose Bowl host team.
With Texas and the Texas Aggies
resting up for their traditional test
next week, the top attraction in the

playing SMU at Dallas.
Another Fierce Game
Another of tomorrow's fierce strug-
giles likely will take place at Nor
man where the Oklahoma Sooners
engage the Nebraska Cornhuskers
] The HuskerS, by winning, could tie
the Sooners for the Big Seven title
and become prime bowl material
either Sugar or Orange. The solid
vote, however, is for Oklahoma
ranked first nationally in the Asso-
ciated Press poll.
Illinois, which upset Ohio State
last week, is favored to close with
a victory over Northwestern at
Evanston and wrap up the Rose
Bowl assignment.
Should the Him lose, however,
thrice beaten Wisconsin could finish
with better Big Ten percentage by
trimming Minnesota at Madison
Michigan also retains slim, out
side chance of going to Pasadena as
it faces Ohio State at Columbus.
In the east, undefeated Princeton
figures to make it a perfect season
with decisive win over Dartmouth.
Penn, also unbeaten within the Ivy
League, closes against Cornell at
Philadelphia. Army will be idle until
it engages Navy next week.
