1.-THE South has DeuaIuated
The American Dollar
BY ELLIOTT J. PIEZE

"The South, with all of its dis
tinctiveneSs, has become so sat-
urated and blinded by its prejud-
ices, that it has devaluated the
American dollar when that
dollar belongs to a Negro. T h e
Negro dollar, in the South, can
not buy many things that dollars
of other American citizens can
buy" Those are two of the many
fcrceful, but practical statements
made Sunday afternoon at St.
John Baptist Church by the Ven.
: John E. Culmer, rector of st.
Agnes Episcopal Church and
archdeacon for Negro work in the
Episcopal Diocese of South Flor
ida. The occasion was the King
of Clubs Forum series.
Speaking upon the subject,
"The Implementation of Demo-
cratic Ideals in Complex Demo-
cratic Society,"" FIR. Culmer open
ed his address by explaining that
all of Ife's great relationships are
partners - both celestial and
terrestrial. Under the constitution,
the United States is a partner
ship. One partner cannot survive
without the other. Likewise, the
Negro is a partner in the Ameri-
can Democracy"
''The ideals of our American
Democracy" continued FIR. Gull
mer, "are incorporated in the pre-
amble to the constitution"
FIR. Culmer quoted from the
renowned DR.. Odom, who said,
among other things, that cine
South should stop being afraid Of
Democracy"
The speaker also quoted extern
!sively from the recent inaugural
address delivered 10y Gov. Leroy
Collins in Tallahassee. "Ln my
opinion" added the speaker,
"Gov. Collins rose to towering
heights in his recent inaugural
address,"
Approaching his very powerful
ending, FIR. Culmer observed that:
1--WE loudly applaud the NAACP
for fighting our battles in h g
courts, but it is left for the sane,
sober-minded local leaders of any
community to establish the prop
er climate for putting victories
gained, into practical effect"
Miami, unlike many other
southern cities, is ready for inte-
grafton. l believe we can, IN
Miami, implement our Demo-
cratic society without violence"
In his very dramatic closing FIR.
Culmer quoted the first and last
stanza of the poem ''The Present
Crisis" 10y James Russell Lowell:
Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne
Yet that scaffold sways the future
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within it's SHADOW,
Keeping watch above his own"
Music was furnished by George
Washington Carver High Chorus
under the direction of Mrs. Flor
ence Amos.

Soft skies smile down on this holiday isle
BERMUDA

Years and years ago the poet Tom Moore
came to Bermuda, fell in love with this coral
isle and wrote:
You'd think that Nature LdUiSh'd here
Her purest tUGUe, her Softest skies
Bermuda is still enchanting visitors.
The brilliant colours of sea, sky and
flowers that inspired the poet to sing will
delight you too. A swim in the clear, blue
water leads to long sunny loaf on soft pink
sand. Golf, tennis, sailing fishing, cycling
and picnicking are year round fun. Shops
display the finest Europe has to offer And
viewing Bermuda's historic sites and scenic
beauty will fill many happy hours.

THE BAZAAR MERRY-oO-ROUND

"he is having everything in
his house appraised"
An auction was to be the
highlight of one bazaar, with
goods having been donated by
local merchants going to the
highest bidders. One item was
a bottle of champagne and it
was felt that this might not be
appropriate since it was in a
parish house and for the bene-
fit of a church. So it was sold
to a commute member on the
side for a good sum. At the
end of the day she came to
claim her prize. She got the
bottle-empty. It's still a mys-
terry!

plant" popularity--one Of the
saleswomen at the table kicked

leader or indispensable person
in the entire operation. She
will decide. for instance. that
her job will be apron making
even though a talent for
needle and thread work is not
to be counted among her
accomplishments.
To point this out to the
woman would cause a crisis
the size of which has never
confronted Secretary Dulles.
To solve the problem-let the
woman make the aprons and
then someone more def at
sewing will remake them. Time
consuming, yes, but 1t is the
| price of peace.
The white elephant table
| at a bazaar is always most
! popular both with the sellers
and the buyers.
In the first place every
penny from it is gravy" since
the items are always donated
and secondly the buyer always
feels that there must be a ter
rife bargain hidden among
the knicknacks.
J.. Mass Confusion
At one bazaar, which takes
place in Georgetown every
year, the white elephant table
nearly causes havoc. Antique
dealers know that many of the
items may be worth much
more than the non-profes-
Sional workers have priced
them. And so when the doors
are opened they come flying
in, causing scene resembling
q fire sale on F street.
This. according to one COM
mittee member. is also the
table where the greatest care
must be taken to avoid shop
lifting.
Bazaar scenes:
Toward the end Of the ba-
zaar there is always a group
of women with large shopping
bags looking for marked-down
items. They are often the same
people from year to year and
are good. at talking a price
down.
AT one event favorite dishes
Of officials wives we're auc-
toned off. The highest price
came from Mrs. Charles Will
sons baked beans. because her
old bean pot went with the
deal.
One woman donated Paris
hat for the hat sale at a
bazaar. Her husband was
furious and demanded she get
it back. He liked it and besides
it had cost him a pretty penny.
She is still wearing it.
/. In the Nick Of Time
An embassy loaned Is items
for display at a bazaar but
through some mistake they
were either sold or given away
as door prizes. The chairman
was Informed. She was able
to retrieve every item and the
generous embassy never knew
the difference.
A well-known gentleman in
town donated an object dart
which he thought was worth
less. 1t sold for $500 and he
demanded II back. To date he
is out a $500 white elephant"

feels that his thumb is greener
than ever.
The Average One
In saying that the bazaar
brings in less money for
charity than several other We
hicles. we are speaking of the
average, annual ones. There
have been some bazaars in the
past at various embassies. or
that have had the support OF
that diplomatic colony. which
have Melted vast amounts of
money but they are definitely
in the minority.
There are a few annual
baZaars that do get up to
the $4,000 class of bene-
fit each year. but again they
are the exception and are
given by larger groups than an
individual church.
But why are the tills from
bazaars not filled to overflow
ing as they are from a ball,
tour or theatrical production?
Certainly one of the reasons
is the lack of two definitely
needed ingredients to make
them appeal to Washington
society or So-called society
glamour and chic.
And this all goes back to the
fact previously stated by a
localite. There are chic char
tiles and there are those that
are not" she said. Where
there is the chic and glamour
there is the social leader as
well as the social climber"
A Different Picture
A look around the ballroom
at one Of the huge benefit balls
presents a far different picture
than that glimpSed in a church
basement or parish house at
the time Of a bazar. The So
cial climber with plenty Of
cash and f1nery will be at the
former event just TO be seen
and hope that the high price
she pays will rate her a higher
rung on the ladder. But her
chances of success at a bazaar
are relatively small.
The paradox goes even
further. Whereas the money
made at the bazaars is less
than at the other events. the
overhead is also far less. Al
most everything to be sold is
donated or made by members.
and the place where they are
held costs nothing. The only
real expense is the purchase
of materials to make the vari-
GUS items. And the work that
goes into a bazaar. like the
other events, takes months Of
volunteer labor by the women
in Washington.
At almost every bazaar there
will be certain tables or booths
year in and year out--the
white elephant one. the baked
goods and the spot where
aprons are sold. AS to the
latter. one woman said. There
seems to be the soul Of the
house maid in everyone and
the apron table is always
popular"
But even in the atmosphere
of religion and good deeds
there is politicking and dip
lomacy.
There is usually the member
who fancies herself as the

To the newspaper Offices in
the fall it seems that every
church in the area is having
a bazaar. They are hooded
with requests for publicity for
the worthy but non-ending
events.
The fall is the most popular
time for bazaars for the obvious
reason - to reach the buyer
with Christmas on his mind.
However, there are those who
choose the spring with an eye
