OUR LOCAL RED CROSS

One of the major topics being discussed this week is
the Red Cross Chapter in Miami This chapter year ago.
invited the National Red Cross Convention to meet In
Miami and the invitation accepted
Now upon learning that there National Red Cross
Coored officials who will attend the convention IN 1901
the chapter voted II to 10 to ask the National to forge
about the invitation, and not to come to Miami.
The convention has nothing to lose by this action GER
tanly there many cities that will be pleased to have
this outstanding organization as their guest However be-
of the feeling of few another black spot will be
chaked up against Miami
The Red Cross is organization that rlghdully mas
the respect of all classes and while that respect will be
maintained have had several discuss the mat
ter with and some have said that they will have little
to do with the local chapter That's unfortunate neverhe
less not hard to understand the reaction in matters OF
this kind.

gress e4sr # .
One of the Miami Herald's leading writer's Jack Bell
has this to say:
"Our Red Cross chapter leaders year ago asked
the national chapter to bring the 1851 national convention
to Miami. National accepted and all felt honored
But our present local Red Cross chapter, hearing
that certain Negroes have done such outstanding work
humanitarans that they're national Red Cross officials
voted II to 10 to ask National not to come here
It is most unfortunate that have such opinions in
local chapter Red Cross is free from bigotry
and banded together to help all mankind Red Cross
regardless of individual opinions to the contrary does not
function for social reasons.
SO have an idea. Why doesn't the City of Miami tell
Gen George c. Marshall that Miami wants the
ton? If the present local members of the chapter don't
feel they want to be in with Negro that's their
privilege and should be respected But that's
Mamis fair should be sued by stories of ntoer

antee that they meet plenty of good Miami citizens too

kicking them around. Nor taking any difficult
task Listen brilliant Negro woman singer, here for
church convention, refused seat at dinner the
Womens Club, and dozens of our finest White women
leaders went to tea given in her honor.
the City of Miami will do this the II local chapter
members then may act according to their feelings 1t
isn't fair if they don't to sit in convention with Ne

I can't say that agree with
everything Jack Bell, Miami Herald
columnist writes, but as a. regular
reader of his column, will say he is
a pretty square scribe and has a
plenty of admirers among all classes.
If you didn't read his Tuesdays
column on the Red Cross cancella-
ton of the National meet in Miami
because outstanding Negroes will
be in that number, get copy and
read it. The local chapter made Mr..
Bell and other prominent Miamians
ashamed.
The Miami times. [volume] (Miami, Fla.) 1923-current, 1950-01-21

The local Red Cross, Dade County
Chapter, has withdrawn its invita-
ton to the National body to meet IN
Miami in 1851 reason the meeting
will be interracial. What a pity the
Dade county chapter has not as yet
grown up - and this is 1850! A lot
of fol xviii look at the Red Cross
with cross eyes after this action.

some one will come to my aid.

ious to learn something about it

QUERIES?
DEVILS FOOD CAKE.

iFrom Mrs. R.S.T. Washington }
Some time in December we
hope to move into our new home,
and this move presents several
problems which I hope some kind
reader of the RCH will be able
to solve for me.
One: Our 4-year- -old daughter
has been attending a cooperative
nursery school In the District.
This is one in which there Is no
fee or q very nominal one, and
each mother donates some time
in service at the school in return
for her child's attendance there.
Is there such q nursery school
or Kindergarten near Burgundy
Village, q new development south
Of Alexandria, not far off Tele-
graph road? II not, is there any
sort Of nursery or Kindergarten
in or near Alexandria to which
there is bus service?
] have done nursery school
work for three years. have taken
advantage Of the courses offered
by the District recreation depart
ment, have almost enough college
credits for a teaching certificate
and would be willing to help at
such a school in return for my
daughters enrolment.
Two: We have many friends in
this area and would like to have
Ia housewarming, but, since our
friends have dropped in a few
at time, very informally, have
no idea Of how to manage an
evening where all our friends
drop in" at once.
grew up in a rural settlement
where social life was extremely
limited and since my marriage
to an Air Force man, we have
travelled so much and I have been
SO busy caring for our three
youngsters that we have had
neither time nor opportunity for
parties.
We have had to live in ram
shackle places where inconven-
fences and crowded conditions
made entertaining almost impos-
sible. AS q result I am an utter
greenhorn and II some one will
please tell me how to arrange a
housewarming (and the help will
have to be primer style), I'll
try to make up for it with some
treasured recipes. What is ex-
pected in the refreshment line.
at a housewarming? We don't
drink anything stronger than
soda pop. q fact all our friends
know, but would like to serve
wine to those who wish 1t. Is
this proper. and If so. what type
Of glasses should I buy, how
should it be served, and what kind
or kinds of wine are suitable?
4. The best hours for us to
entertain would be 7:30 to 1890
pm. on Saturday or Sunday
evening". Is that feasible time
for such an occasion?
5. How can I arrange it so
that I'll be free to chat with our
guests and still serve refresh
ments? We won't have any help
unless 1t is absolutely necessary.
AS you can see from these ques-
tions, I am q great deal bewildered
at the thought Of a housewarming.
yet I want to learn, now that we
win have our own home and all
help along that line will be ap-
preciated from the bottom of my
heart.
As small return favor, I would
like to submit q recipe for the
easiest and most successful devils

ECONOMY HINT.

(From Mrs. C.. r., WashingtonJ
Thanks to Mrs. M. A. for hel
letter on economies. Hers were
sensible suggestions and would she
please write in her formula fol-
soap making?
I, too, find that our salary nc
longer goes around for everything
so we must f1nd ways to stretch
each dollar. And Mrs. M. A., the
other little economies you said
would give us a laugh would be
interesting to me. Let each of us
select the items we think valuable
RICH has my address. Here are a
couple Of economies you might
not already be practicing:
Use old diapers or wornout pill
lowcases cut up for removing cold
cream in lieu Of face tissues.
Kinder to the complexion and no
ironing needed. When having a
dinner party always have CENTER
piece that can be eaten after
ward.
The people who sell pianos use
this to keep them ship shape in
the showrooms: Half motor oil,
half vinegar. well shaken, apply
and wipe of excess. Cleans and
preserves all wood furniture,
HINT.
From Mrs. J.R.M., Washington
Now q hint. Old worn-out
nylons have many uses besides
making rugs. Beautiful flowers
can be made from them after
being dyed. I read this in an
article in Profitable Hobbies mag
azine. Also they make a fine
stuffing for children's cloth dolls
or animals. Also as strainers for
grease, strainers for paint, strain
ers for almost anything.

SHOWER CURTAIN PROBLEM.
(From Mrs. w. Fl. D., Silver
Spring.
For Mrs. v. G. M, Washington:
I have found a good suds of the
old soap with q compound name
beginning with r and second sylla-
BILE with N highly efficient in
cleaning my own plastic curtains.
The soap stains on the shower
curtain respond beautifully to a
vinegar in water solution as sug-
gested in RICH some time ago.

fairly dry. - cups honey, 4 table
spoons confectioners sugar, "a
teaspoon salt, " teaspoon vanilla
Add salt to egg whites before
beating. Beat stiff and add honey
a little at time. Add confec-
TONERS sugar and vanilla and beat
for 2 minutes. Let stand till it
stiffens enough to swirl on cake
This is best when made at least
six hours before cake is to be
served, as it forms a firmer surface
and the frosting is not "gooey'
when cut. Let iced cake stand
uncovered for q flrmer frosting. =
