Economic Pressure Charged
Mr.. wilkins also declared the
white citizens councils adopted
economic pressure as a weapon

1.-THE right of petition has
been suppressed through denying

denied loans for crops Workers

He said civil rights legislation
has been blocked by the political

Find Uses

So many uses have been
suggested for old nylon stock
ings. that Mrs. Homemaker's
Forum, has compiled a list of
the best of them. Here are a
few Of their uses:
For storing bouffant petit
coats. They will take up less
room in the closet, or the suit

When travelling, use as cover
ings for shoes.
When numerous small articles
have to be washed, put them
into the stocking, making a
knot at one end. then place
articles in washing machine.
In this way it will be easier to
keep track of them.
For protection of odd-shaped
packages in the freezer. Cut
of the feet and slip over any
package. Knot stockings at
both ends
AS covering for umbrellas
that hang in closet.
For protecting a dust mop,
fold over the mop, 1t washes
