PAT ON THE BACK

The month of August has celebrating birthdays.
During the thirty days, the various events sched
uled for the Cys 250th Birthday Festival will be observed
along with the marking of the 29th natal day of only
hometown newspaper, the Detroit Tribune.
These two celebrations has much an common. W lille
the Tribune did not pioneer along with the city in its
ception your hometown paper nurtured and along
with its birthplace, its communities. its residents.
1t found organ to express and foster
the thoughts and desires of the Negro to publcize his
achievements and to protest against nustces made to-
ward him. The Tribune grew vanguard in respect
and confidence did the minority group of which it
served.
Not only its pages devoted mainly to Negro
vities achievements and protesatons but also to be
found advertising which told of the reputable places
of business and displayed high quality products Through
this function employment also made for those persons
who could not find ready outlet for their talents num-
boring among them artists writer's statesmen no
ypists printers and accountants Thus your local news
sheet contained about the local community and gave
employment to local talent.
Since its inception, the Tribune has gained the con-
fdence and respect not only readers and advertisers
but the community at large. This achievement came
as result of creed which had the reported and dis
seminated in unbiased impartial and authenticated
manner. This newspaper creed has been expanded and
revamped the point that its fostering has the Tribune
as one of the leaders in its field today.
Is it then wonder that the editors particularly take
pleasure to pause this month to pat themselves on-the
back along with extolng the accomplishments of ITS birth
pace-the City of Detroit.

Their first conviction and death
sentence were unanimously re-
versed by the United States Su-

showed that a system of racial

The re-trial of Shepherd and
IRWIN is scheduled TO be hear d
in the November term OF the

The NAACP, in its petition for
reversal of the original convic-

erred in not granting a change
of venue for the trial. since Lake
County had been the scene Of
widespread terror, home burn
ing and racial tension and local
newspapers had presented prelu-
diced versions of the facts.
The role Of the papers in in
flaming public opinion was ex-
coriated BY Justices Jackson and
Frankfurter in their scathing con-
curing opinion reversing the
convictions.

TO MAKE TEA

fFfOHt ~ "a 1st " sScfSSfeSbOft"
Mrs. B. w., Washington. Both
my husband and I are tea gour-
NETS, and here is how I brew 1t:
II. Scald teapot (preferably earth
enware or china). 2. Place tea in
steaming pot, close lid,@let stand
for about minute. 3. Pour
small amount of water that has
just begun to boil over tea. Let
stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Mean
while bring cold water to boil. 4.
Pour freshly boiling water over
first infusion and wait another 2
or minutes before pouring. Never
use anything else but tea kettle
for water boiling. Seems like a lot
of trouble but it's worth it. And
it tastes best out of a thin china
cup without sugar, of course. buy
small quantities of tea at a time
and put it at once into screw top
jars. properly labeled. We like
English breakfast tea in the morn
ing, LapSang Souchong in the
afternoon (this is mans tea with
a smoky taste and goes well with
everything), green tea or Oolong
and Jasmin mixed in the evening.
1t is fun to experiment with diff
ferent blends. When I have dis
covered a particularly good blend
of the different kinds I have at
hand. I note the proportions on
the jar labels. The quantities:
One teaspoon Of tea per cup. plus
one for the pot has always proved
excessive for us. I take one heap
ing teaspoonful for a 4-cup pot If
the leaves are small. and two if
they are coarser.
I am sure you will be compli-
Imented on your tea if you follow
these tips.

BREAD-MAK1NG TIPS.
from Mrs. c. ]. X.
Cd1np Lejeu1le. N. c.


The girls are still asking why
their bread is coarse and crumbly
Since I have seen no answer, ]
may be able to help.
bake one loaf of white bread
every three or four days and get
a beautiful light fine textured loaf
that slices to any thickness just
perfectly. If yeast doughs rise
more than double after shaping
they may fall, become coarse and
open and very dry when baked.
use the method which permits
the dough to rise approximately
p hours, punch down and let rise
about another hour. put on board
and cover for 10 minutes, shape,
punching out all air bubbles, and
let rise in baking pan again about
an hour and then bake, and do
not overbake.
use canned milk to do away
with the bother of scalding milk
have only learned to handle
yeast dough the past year and
find it delightful experience.
I believe the girls who are hav-
ing trouble will find the answer
to their troubles by following
Betty Crocker's picture cook
book.
Also, another problem may be
kneading the dough too long and
using too much flour. Practice in
baking will tell you when the
dough no longer sticks to the
board and starts Tightening up
1t doesn't take long to get the
touch. Other rules apply to the
feather light rolls and sweet
doughS.

GASpE.

(From w. w. H., Wdshingtoa.)
Regarding the Gaspe Peninsula
letter from Mrs. c. M. B., Wash
ington, respectfully suggest that
the Gaspe, in Quebec Province,
is not what is known as far
north" Yet. as Mrs. c. M. B..
suggests, it may get cool that
early in the Summer-late June.
July temperatures will run around
65 degrees. according to the
American Automobile Association,
but the nights will be cool be-
cause of the ocean breezes and
the cool winds of the st. Law
renee River and Gulf.
Highway No. 6 comprises the
circle tour of the Gaspe PENN
sula, and. while it is a good road,
it is not one which can be nego-
tiated in hurry. There are parts
which are rugged and even mar
row and not easy for travel--at
least for the more tinlid driver
motoring in wet weather.
For the experienced driver only,
I suggest making the trip counter
clockwise, from Matapedia, at the
head of the Bale des Chaleurs. to
Ste. Flavie, on the st. Lawrence,
rather than in the reverse order.
The more tilnid ones should go
by way of st Flavie. Madeleine,
Gaspe, Perce and Nouvelle to
Matapedia, where there are direct
connections to Campbellton, New
Brunswick. and back through the
New England States. In this way
the less experienced driver will
have the inside of the road which
skirts the river. ocean and bays.
Good place for a start is the
city of Quebec, once the capital
of Canada and its more historic
large city. The Automobile Club
of Quebec, an AAA affiliate, at 2
Avenue Chauveau, is we'll equipped
to give information as to garages,
immediate road conditions and
even weather reports to the
Gaspe-bound traveller.
This complete tour Excluding
the run between Ste. Flavie and
Quebec. Province Of Quebec calls
for $50 miles of driving. so it is
one that will take at least three
days. 1t includes big, mountain
like regions. sandy beaches. SAL
mon streams and quaint fishing
villages. The AAA highly rec
ommendS it.

Three cheers and thanks to you

first thing I turn to in The Star,
and it makes me proud to be a
homemaker!
My present problem is this: We
are going to Lima. Peru, in June
and I wonder if any of your read
ers can give me information as
to the climate, whether or not
ac-dc electricity is used, whether
I should take my electric re-
frigerator, whether there is an
American school for a boy of
high school age, the best place
to live, living accommodations,
etc. These are only few of
the problems I can think Of,
off-hand. Any other information
will be most appreciated. Another
thing-does any one know about
the water supply-iS it good to
drink ''as is." or will it need to
be made safe for drinking? Is
1t possible to have laundry done
outside the home?
Thanks again for your help to
me and to all women in the ever
challenging career of making a
home for our loved ones-a haven

-
We frequently feel we do very
little in the way of presenting the
human side of a garment industry
that is by far more than just
clothes, traffic jams on Seventh
avenue, and labor problems that
occasionally get aired.
Like too many people we are
frequently guilty of thinking that
the garment industry is only to
be regarded in terms of machines
skilled labor, and that it exists
only to ship dresses out to the
consumer public and to net the
manufacturer a fat financial re-
turn.
True, the industry may be all
of this-but it is whole lot more,
too. 1t is made up of people who
feel that their dress lines are like
children sometimes good
sometimes bad but always
loved.
These are the people who know
what it is to work hard to produce
a thing of beauty. They are as
much a part of the American
scene as Plymouth Rock.
Seventh avenue which produces
the greater bulk Of the fashions
for America is jammed with pro-
fessional people sporting degrees
from great institutions of learn
ing. It's workers are amongst
the best-paid in the world. 1t has
heading the garment industry a
great many people who came up
the hard way starting out as
pressers, cutters, and stock girls.
There are the sons and daughters
of immigrant parents who origi-
nally started many of their con-
Germs in one and two-room lofts.
