NEW YORK, (GLOBAL) - Many
students of world affairs believe
that the problem Of finding a just
and satisfactory relationship be-
tween the white and the non-White
peoples of the world is the most
important and urgent one facing
mankind in what remains of the
twentieth century. If this prob
lem can be solved, they contend,
Communism already discredited
in the democratic West, will find
little support in the awakening
East, for the peoples of Asia and
Africa can then find the scope they
seek within Western institutions.
Nowhere on earth is this prob
lem more acute than in the Union
CT South Africa. This nation is
the most advanced territorial unit
on the African continent. 1t wields
tremendous Influence in most of
Africa south of the Sahara. And
there are those who dream that
certain northern territories-such
as the RhodeSias-Will join the
Union of South Africa. There is
some talk of sending troops from
the Union to Kenya to help to sup
press the Mau Mau terror.
The Union has been called a
melting pot of the races in which
nothing melted - not even the hu-
man heart. The population is made
up of several distinct racial or ma
tional groups: the descendants of
the original Dutch settlers, some
times called Beers or-Afrikaaner;
the British descendants; the In
dians; the Malays; the Bantus, who
would be called Negroes in the
United States; and the so-called
colored race a mixture of
Black African and White Euro
pean.
1t is the Bantus, by far the most
numerous group in the Union, and
the Afrikaaner, who control the
instruments of government, who
constitute the elements of pos
sible explosion.
Many people think Of history as
dead or useless subject. But we
often understand the present by
knowing the past. Next week,
therefore, we shall begin telling
you how the South African pow
der keg came to be.

Don't Be A Pin-Up Girl
BY DOROTHY RoE
Associated Press Women's Editor
Are you a pin-up girl?

St0<eS Ffe>s "ofHeHs > EcstoF
Are you a pin-up girl?
If you use pins to hold together
broken bra straps or worn-out gar
ters, you need a few tips on mend
ing foundation garments. Wise
home seamstresses know that the
life of foundation garment can
be considerably prolonged by ap-
plying the stitch in time formula,
and they are careful to make re-
pairs as soon as they are neces-
Sary.
Here are some suggestions from
experts at your local sewing CEN
ter, as to how to use your sewing
machine to repair girdles and
bras.
Zigzag stitching is useful for
mending. for it makes a very
strong stitching line and has
enough elasticity to hold firmly at
points of strain. You can use the
completely automatic swing-needle
machine if you have one. If not,
the automatic zigzagger attach
ment cam be used on almost all
machines, either straight or slant
needle style.
One of the most common repairs
is shortening, lengthening or re-
placing hose supporters on gir-
die. To shorten the garters when
webbing is double, release one
side of webbing and stitch in place
higher up. A shortcut is to take
a tuck in the elastic, pushing it
up and zigzagging the fold to the
tape at the bottom of the girdle
Milford chronicle., 1955-07-15

ting or clearing the table no
doubt. II the hostess doesn't like
an extra hand she will tell you.
6. Dress appropriately so that
you do not have to borrow from
the hostess. Don't appear at the
table in shorts, slacks or other
informal attire unless other mem
bers of the family do So
Z. Take a travelling alarm clock
with you if you have one. If one
is not available and you are a
sound sleeper, ask your hostess
to tap on your door in the morn
ing. Late sleepers are likely to
throw q household completely of
schedule.
s. Try not to be underfoot all
the time. If you are visiting at a
girl or boy friends home, the
parents will expect you to be
around for meals but at recrea-
tion in between times, unless they
make other plans for you. II. you
go out in the evening tell them
~Hoie you are SOiuS anu what
time you are returning.
8. Keep your room picked up.
Hang up clothes. Avoid shining
shoes with towels. Pack everything
when you leave SO your hostess
does not have to mail belt or
scarf TO you.
10. AS soon as you arrive home
sit down and write your thank you
note. Be enthusiastic even If it
rained every second of the week
end. 1t is not an easy job to play
hostess, especially on rainy
weekend, SO give that thought
consideration when getting off
your bread and butter letter.
A little gift doesn't necessarily
have to cost much, so be sure to
send one.
Milford chronicle., 1955-07-15

Set your zigzag at a blight, about
20 stitches to the inch. A multiple
stitch zigzag is stronger than a
single stitch zigzag. but either will
hold better than straight stitch
ing.
To lengthen garters, release one
webbing and stitch 1T to the at
tached webbing below the edge of
the girdle. If added length is de-
sired on single-web garter, it is
better to replace it with a longer
piece of elastic.
When replacing garter, care
fully slit the stitches holding the
elastic to the tape at the bottom of
the girdle. Cut new elastic to
proper length. attach garter grips,
slip elastic under the tape and
zigzag stitch at upper and lower
edges.
If the upper has broken on a
fairly new foundation garment, you
may wish to replace it. Be sure to
get a upper exactly the same
length and weight as the original.
A good idea is to take the original
with you when you go shopping
Insert upper according to direc-
tiOns on the package and reinforce
with double line of straight
stitching.
Broken bra straps often require
an emergency pin, but be sure to
repair the damage as soon as poss-
ible. Trim off frayed section of
strap, fold under sId zigzag stitch
the strap to the bra. Il you can
not lengthen the strap, stitch a
strip of elastic to the end of it and
stitch the elastic to the bra.
Often the elastic back of bra
will wear out before the rest of

Egg Quality, Laying
Ability Affected By
Warm Weather

Warm weather is the enemy of
egg quality, declares c. w. Num-
ford, assistant in poultry at the Uni
versity of Delaware. He adds that
warm weather not only results in
extra losses among laying 1ocks
but also causes the birds TO stop
laying. Laying hens will even shed
their feathers to keep cool.
Mumford offers the following
suggestions to help maintain egg
quality:
~ For producers-Be sure that
market eggs are not fertile Eggs
should be collected at least three
times daily and should be cooled be-
fore they are packed. Eggs should
be marketed at least twice weekly.
(2) For dealers-Eggs should be
kept cool and should be protected
from the sun while they are being
collected or delivered. Rough
handling and delays in shipment
should be avoided.
80 For consumers-Eggs should
be kept cool by being stored in a
refrigerator Immediately after they
are bought. They should be kept
away from foods such as fish and
onions to avoid absorption of odors.
AS for mortality from hot wea-
ther, Mumford claims ventilation is
the most important factor in keep
ing the birds alive. Ventilators
along the whole length of the house
will help solve the problem. Glass
windows in the front of houses
should be removed during warm
weather.
I'm spite of general opinion to
the contrary, all drafts caused by
such ventilation show no i'll effects
on poultry during the summer"
Mumford states.
A liberal supply of fresh clean
water is very important. The
of drinking fountains
should be doubled
