NAACP SENDS
OPEN LETTER TO
STATE CHURCHES
Negro Ministers and Churches
State of Florida
Dear Friends:
NAACP SUNDAY


NAACP SUNDAY O.,
The month of February carries
two birthdays that mean much to
American Negroes. On February
IL, 1909, Abraham Lincoln, the
Great Emancipation" was born
in a drift-floor log cabin. Lin
coin worked his way up from
this humble cabin to the White
House, and on January l, 1868, he
issued the proclamation that
loosed the chains of slavery from
4 million black Americans.
But Lincoln'S proclamation did
not give Negroes their full free
dom and the rights of American
citizenship. 1t did not give us the
right to vote, nor did it guarantee
us justice in the courts. Evident
ly another agency was needed to
finish the work that Lincoln had
so nobly begun. Therefore, on
this same date, exactly 100 years
ago, another great birth occurred.
On February IL, 1909, a small
group of militant Negroes and
liberal Whites met and organized
the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People.
This organization, commonly
called the NAACP, took up where
Lincoln and his party left off and
began to fight for the complete
emancipation of our race. Surely
God is in this noble movement
for justice and equality for all
mankind.
In commemoration of the birth
of this great organization, the
4th Sunday in February has been
designated as "NAACP Sunday"
throughout America. Ministers
and churches over the country
are asked to join in this celebra-
ton by helping the NAACP to
launch its 1851 membership
drive. We ask you to do these
things to help us enroll $4,000
members in Florida this year:
/. Take a few minutes at each
service on the 4th Sunday to re-
mind your people of the great
work being done for them by the
NAACP. Remind them of these
important accomplishments: Q)
1t has opened Democratic prima-
ries to Negro voters. GU 1t has
caused Southern states to make
vast improvements in school ia
cilities for Negroes. (3) 1t is help
ing to abolish Jim crow on trains
and buses. (4) 1t has gone into
court and saved the lives of many
innocent Negroes - the Pompano
Boys, Simon Peter Taylor in
Tampa, and the Ingrams in Geor-
gia. 90 It saved the lives of 10
Negro soldiers sentenced to die
during World War II, and it is

Bridal
Bouquets

The Florists Telegraph De-
livery Association is convening
this week at the Shoreham
Hotel. Out of this annual ma
tional convention a great many
new ideas for wedding flowers
are being noted.
Many a bride worries about
the right flowers for the season
in which she will marry. Though
June is pretty popular month
with brides, statistics show that
it edges out months like August
and September only by a mere
2 per cent.
Our aforementioned problem,
however, can be greatly allevi-
ated If the future bride takes it
to competent florist and works
closely with him regarding color
harmony and correctness Of the
flowers to be used in decorations.
Nest florists will also visit the
church or place where the cere-
mony is, to be held and study
the background so that the floral
decorations will be just right.
Fall wedding flowers can be
beautifully combined with fall
leaves. fruits and evoI, u,haot for
truly memorable decorations.
The florists suggest that Sep
tember wedding might utilize
flowers, fruit and wheat. Even
the brides bouquet need not be
of the standard variety in this
case. One Of wheat and corn
flowers is suggested by Allyn
Wayne, the official stylist of the

This is for A. l.. D., Washington
in response to her request for a
recipe for bread made with soys
bean flour. One cake yeast, A cur

do is boil a strong solution of bak-
ing soda in it for about S minutes
For late summer salad
fill the seed cavity of cantaloupe

ed in it. Chill thoroughly anC
serve in wedges on greens with

To preserve the fresh green colol
of spinach or other fresh greens
cook uncovered in as little water
as possible and as quickly a:
possible.
For tasty, quick French fries

water for about z minutes. Drain
thoroughly before putting in the
hot grease. This can be done early

Fashion
Notes

Underneath it all that full
blown silhouette better have a
pretty petticoat or crinoline bell
ing it out, or your fashion out
look is going to fall fat!
Today's crinolines may be a
sometime thing" " but an old-time
bugaboo still turks over them
where many women are con-
cerned. "Crinolines snag your
stockings" we've been told. Well,
they won't II you get one of the
1851 versions that has wide taf-
feta banding the bottom.
Evening star., 1951-09-05

There are a number of ways to
achieve the full-blown silhouette.
Try wearing an underpinning that
is fitted across the tummy and
hips to give a smooth look to
skirts whose fullness begins below
the hips. Then there is huge
circle of material that is not per-
manently stiffened that swishes
and gives soft fullness rather than
"a "stand-out" appearance.
Another underpinning Of note
is the crinoline chicken wire"
permanently stiffened by lacquer
for sure-fire crispness underneath
heavy Woolen or tweed dresses.
These dresses need heavier under
skirts to give them body.

SOUP.
Low CALORIE
ENTERTAINING.
(From B. 81, Silver SprinQ.l

tFf0m b. b., SLDeT spring. t
Many thanks. for the hint Of
using a measuring cup for coffee.
-Four scoops makes one-third cup
and I make four cups regularly
and eight for company. have
speeded up the process greatly by
leaving one third cup measure in
the coffee and doubling for q full
house.
Now that the time for soup is
returning maybe this viii help
some other mother. One can of
soup was just enough for two
pre-schoolers and myself, with
crackers and a sandwich and
fruit. My problem was what to
do now that baby was eating it.,
too, since we don't like leftovers
and two cans was too much. Then
/ added bouillon cube and a
half to three-fourths can water to
one regular can Of soup and found
it delicious. AS you may know
from stews a combination of
meats always improves fiavors.
I have seen no answers to the
letter requesting help for low
calorie entertaining. In these
weight and health conscious times
we could use some help with this.
] have a few suggestions. Lemon
pie is perhaps the lowest caloried
pie, vanilla the lowest ice cream
and angel food the lowest cake.
Single crust pie and single layer
cakes also cut on the calories. Iced
tea made with lemon juice (sugar
passed separately is a fine thirst
quencher without many calories
except for the sugar. Iced coffee
ditto. One scoop of vanilla ice
cream in coffee is only 100
calories and makes a partyish re-
freshment.
Any fruit juice halved with gin
Igerale is good. and good for you.
Snacks require a bit of ingenuity.
The idea is to combine something
acceptable to the calorie conscious
with something for all so that
dieting is not too blatant. Any
small fruit is not too obvious. I
have even cored and sliced raw ap-
piles in orange juice Ito remain
Iwhite), drained and served with
walnut halves sandwiched with
Roquefort cheese spread.
Cream cheese sandwiches of
date nut bread, served with grape
fruit halves with cherry centers
are good. Banana bread, buttered,
is delicious with any salad or fruit
cup and guests may eat lightly if
desired. 1t is helpful to serve
cookies or small cakes or sand
wiches which can be passed, for
nothing hurts the dieter as much
as facing a large piece of dessert
when she has saved calorieS for
half that amount. Believe me, I
know! I have recently lost IL
pounds and plan to lose that much
again. Food and cooking have
always been sources of pleasure to
me. and love to see people eat.
Alas, am trying to consider the
matter from the point of beauty
and health for both males and fe-
males and it is changing many bad
habits. Good luck to all Of us.

In Game tomorrow
BY the Assoeia,sd Pres,

MIAMI, Fla. Oct. 1S. - The
Washington g. Lee Miami football
battle tomorrow night, previously
considered set-up for the Hur-
|ricanes. is now being viewed with
more interest and a crowd of
more than 10000 has been FORE
cast.
Miami beat strong Purdue, TO,
last week but the Generals sur
|prised the South with a 42-14

Now Andy Gustafson, Miami
coach. has more respect for the
small Lexington tva.) school and
advance ticket sales indicate the
football fans here are looking for
10 better game than expected
earlier this season.
Warned About Bocetti.
Gustafson has warned the de-
fensive team, which stopped Dale
Samuels, the highly publiczed
Purdue passer, that W&L's Gil
Bocetti will be just as tough.
He added that In addition to
Bocettis passing ability. the little
quarterback Is q master ball ham
dler and an astute play-caller.
Bocetti directed the Generals
offense to 487 net yards against
Virginia.
Except for its passing attack,
which did not click, the Miami
team began to live up to its expec-
tations In the Purdue game. The
defense especially was strong as
it throttled Purdue's ground and
air efforts.
Battle Of Pass Defenses Seen.
The game should be an inter-
esting battle Of pass defenses. Pur-
dues coach, Stu Holcomb, said
Miami's pass defense was the best
the Boilermakers had encoun-
tered In a long time and that's
what beat u.s."
W6sL coaches were crediting
much Of their upset victory over
Virginia TO the Generals pass de-
fense. The Cavaliers completed
only three out of Is attempted
passes for % yards and had four
intercepted.
Gratifying to Gustafson was
yesterdays practice session in
which a freshman team using
W&L plays was stopped during
Ia 35-minute scrimmage. Gustaf-
son beamed afterward and said,
I"Our defense Is beginning to look
as good as it did in 1850. II we
can do as well against. the W&L
