1t is worth noting, full

REALISM REQUIRED
charlottesville Observer


In ruling racial segrega-
ton unconstitutional in the
public schools, the Supreme
Court has handed the South
the greatest problem of re-
adjustment the region has
had to face since the end of
the Civil War.
But the South has faced
problems before.
1t has faced them, for
the most part, with courage
and with strength. 1t has
met them with perseverance.

the question. what Is This

The word chic" is French.
Some pronounce it "sheik"
others "chick." The first pro-
nunciation would be closer to
the French original.
It means many things to many
people.
Nine. Bonnet sums it up
by saying that chic is that
elusive something that some
women can spend thousands Of
dollars trying to achieve and
others capture wearing a $40
dress.
One Of Washington's ''chicest"
women explains it also by saying
that a person may be born with
an innate sense of taste. Another
may acquire it by watching care
fully, closely. and by educating
their taste to the point where it
sets them apart as being chic.
In France the word chic is used
almost to define a way Of life.
A gesture may be chic. A cur
rent play chic to see. The way
q woman furnishes her home
along with dressing herself will
be chic.
Chic thus becomes the nair
for being able to pick out the
flrst-class things in all levels of
living.
It is the ability to discern the
outstanding not necessarily the
most expensive.
Above all, emphasizes chic is q
personal thing. It's the way you
tie q scarf, the angle you may
give q hat. Chic is not meant as
a disguise or to change your per-
sonality. It must look natural as
If this fashion side of you is
a distinct part Of your being.
Simplicity marks the women
possessing chic. This quality is
not the privilege Of the rich. A
lack of fussiness is a character
istic that all share in common.
In coming across the secret Of
eternal chic, and once discovered

I have almost no money left"
His answer was typical.
"I do not care but do not for
sake the wounded. They are
counting on YOU"
Appeal Pays on.
Something had to be done. I
knew some friends who would be
willing to help me. I felt. how
ever, that everybody should do
his share. After all, there were
so many firms that were only
able to do business because our
army was fighting here. They
could make a little sacrifice.
So I asked my husband
whether I could publish an
appeal for help under his name
in the local papers. He agreed
and the result was an avalanche
of money and goods. Not only
from Indo- China, but also from
France, Morocco and even from
foreign countries. Until the last
day I was able to send the things
the wounded asked for most:
Milk. fruit. fruit juice. chocolate,
coffee, cigarettes and books.
What was left is given now
to the wounded who have been
evacuated from Diem Bien Phu
and who are treated in the large
Lanessan Hospital in Hanoi. And
among the many letters and tele-
grams have received the last
few months I treasure one most.
It is this charming message the
wounded in Diem Bien Phu sent
me one day before it fell:
Thousand wounded in Diem
Bien Phu thank Nine. de Castries
Fundamentally for generous
gesture and precious aid given
to activities Of medical services"
In the meantime the situation
deteriorated more and more. I
knew that from the conversations
with my husband.
Wounded Suffer Acutely.
The attacks. were heavy. Often
bad weather prevented our
planes from reaching Diem Bien
Phu. Then the enemy positions
could not be bombed and supplies
of food and ammunition ran low.
The wounded suffered inhu-
namely in the dark and damp
bunkers and their number in
creased daily.
The men were unable to sleep
as the enemy artillery fired
almost continuously.
It was a real hell.
One day I asked my husband
for authorization to appeal to the
United States to send planes;
more planes could have saved
Diem Bien Phu. Christian strictly
forbade me, however, from doing
this. He was sure that an action
like that would mean interna-
tionalization of the war in Indo-
China. He wanted to prevent
that at any price as he consid-
cred that catastrophe.
So Diem Bien Phu fell.
Counted on Geneva.
It is all over now. But I cannot
believe that it will be left at that.
More than anything else. I
remember how my husband told
me a few days before the end
that he had been assured every
thing would be done. to reach
an agreement between France
and the Wet Mini in Geneva.
I still count on Geneva.
I believe that both parties
should come to terms with each
other in Geneva 30 the war can
