COTTON RuG

(Mrs. r. b. F., Washington
For Mrs. K. C. M, Wheaton,
about carpets. We made the
unfortunate mistake Of buy
ing a 9xl8 cotton rug, q widely
advertised brand beginning
with "W.. and for two reasons
have greatly regretted the pur-
chase. The principal trouble
is lint. In the beginning It
came off in handflls and set
tied in every room In the
house. After several weeks Of
struggling with this. one OF
our complaints brought q man
from the store who assured us
that vacuuming the rug daily
for one month would elimi-
nate this difficulty. However.
our second reason for regret
ing our purchase was because
it required back breaking ef-
fort to vacuum it. q have a
very popular brand trunk
type vacuum beginning with

GENTLY anywhere else in the
house, Since we had not yet
purchased a pad for under the
rug, we thought that might be
partly causing the difficulty
with vacuurning. so we strug-
gled through the month and
at the end of that time there
was some improvement. Then
we bought q foam rubber pad.
but to our disrnay 1t does not.
make the rug any easier to
clean. Almost a year has,
passed since we bought our
rug, and / no longer find lint
all over the house. but the
rug is still full of loose lint
which comes OF on the chill
dren's clothes and is in turn
transferred to the furniture.
Don't touch the rug is such
a ridiculous restriction to place
on our family. Is there any
one else who has solved this
problem who could help me?

What one thinks does as an individual must be
so classified Likewise the thoughts actions of that
same individual in organization must, of necessity be
restricted to the final decision of the majority of that
body Therefore, it is to be admitted that there are
several members of the Baptist Pastors Conference
of Roanoke and vicinity who have made and are still
making admirable contributions to many phases of public
interest. Such the Reverends A. L. James M r..
Coker, W. N. Hunter, Robert Johnson Smith, and the
Rev. c. j. Smith of Salem and others whose names space
will not permit us to mention have wrought we'll How
ever, despite their various activities they still must be
classified individuals. We cannot recall within the
past decade single instance where the conference rs
body has thrown it's weight for or against any of the
issues which gravey affect the political education or
economic status of the Negro people in particular and the
respective communities in general.
In the matter of filling the vacancy on the Roanoke
City School Board caused by the resignation of Dr. A.
L. James, the ministers of the Baptist Pastors Confer
had the opportunity of their lives demonstrate
their interest in the school affairs of their parshoners
and fulfill their responsibility in the field of Christian
leadership, by furnishing the City Council list Of

can be saved without changing
the design.
Marvin Adams Of Miami, chair
man Of the Authority, then said
another five million could be cut
because of interest savings made
by the advance of nearly three
million dollars by the State Road
Department to cover preliminary
expenses and additional interest
savings made by reduction of the
size Of the bond ISSUE
The requirement of fiscal law
yers that 10 per cent contingency
fund be included in the bond issue
probably also could be reduced
now from the original $7,100, 600
