their economic significance to be
under rated or overlooked. Ne
groes will buy the best and most
expensive item they can afford
just as any other consumer. In
many instances they have squan-
dered meager savings on too
costly clothes, flashy automo-
biles and clothing. Part of this
can be blamed on poor consumer
education or the false values
attached to high priced merchan-

GALL THAT IS NEEDED TO REMEDY THE

EDITORIAL
PEOPLES VERDICT
one of the great English traditions, trial by
jury, has become an integral part of American
culture. This method of obtaining justice
through the voice of the people has been pre-
served for the use Of all uoteys in this coa,a-
try. Trial by ballots is just another phase Of
trial by jury.
The scene was not a bailiwick or any off,
cial courtroom. Instead the state of arizona
became the setting of the greatest trial TN the
political history of the state. The conscience
of the people Oas ON trial and the defense and
ed the air with pleas and accusations from the
beginning to the bitter end.
Several issues we're at stake as the ballot
ing began early Tuesday morning. First and
foremost Vas the privilege Of the Uoters to
choose officials without co,nbulsion from out
sideYs or yabid one sided planners.
Second, although equally Important s0as the
record Of a man Of integrity ueysus the sOoo-
aags of a political pro wh0 has accomplished
little for his state on local or national Ievel.
Third, could an oveYcontident egoist, iyza-
ted by the yells Of victoyy in the recent guber-
natoyial primary who had steadtastly refused
to present any program to the voters once the
primaries ended h00dWink the b0bul0ce?
The people Of Arizona upset the national
trend to Yeat15Ym the we'll knosOn phrase a
government Of the people, by the people and
for the people,
Tuesdays veydict is decisive--voteys de-
liberated and spoke out rapidly TN almost rec
ord time. The old guard IS dismissed. A mem
day has damned. Arizona should be proud of
the Uoice Of the people. The veYdict is theirs
--bayty utilization did not force votevs to vote

Largely because Of two
women in. the Washington
area-Mrs. Herbert May and
Mrs. Paul Mellon - the
marquee is rapidly becom-
ing the mark of elegant en-
tertaining in the Capital.
And chiefly because Of the
British EmbasSy's royal use
Of the social tent. it has be-
come the ne plus ultra for
state visits.
Once 1t was only the fear
Of a heavenly drenching (of
which we have had more
of our share Of late) that in
spired the well-to-do to re-
sort to this expensive form of
temporary shelter during the
warm months.
But nowadays 1t is used in
the Nations Capital the year
around to add anywhere from
one to Is rooms to an am
bassador's residence.
THAT'S BECAUSE WASH
NGTONS partygoing Of
ficialdom now numbers in the
thousands and not since
Louis XIV's time or there
abouts have they built pal
aces big enough to accommo-
date that many at one time.
But ere you start spin
ming dreams about tossing up
q tent in which to toss a tall
TODD, let me advise you it
might be almost as cheap to
build a permanent wing on
to your present abode. The
trouble with that. of course.
is you sacrifice your garden
for a great addition you
don't need except about once
every three or four years.
Actually. you can have q
party under canvas for as
little as $3.50 rental. But how
many people can you get
around q table under one
lawn umbrella?

Mrs. Arthur Gardner gave
here for their daughter
Suzanne about three years
ago.
An awning differs from q
marquee in that it is sup
ported on one side by a house
or a building. This one
stretched out from the roof
Of their three-story house
and covered the entire gar
den. :. 1t was supported by
towering poles bound in satin
jewel tones, and suspended
from its high ceiling on lnvis-
ible threads were literally
thousands Of glistening butt
terfiies. Queens have
nothing on debutantes when
1t comes to presentation par
ties. Families will go all out
for the apple Of their eyes
when she's ready to make
her bow.
PROBABLY THE MOST
FABULOUS DEBUT dance in
this vicinity was given by the
Paul Melons In 1855 for their
daughter CathT.
Washingtonians recall how
the brood mare stables on
their famous Upperville (va)
estate, Oak Spring, we're con-
verted into a delightful fac
simile of the streets of Paris.
and how an encampment Of
canvas was built on the
grounds to provide sleeping
quarters for some $50 young
men in the stag line!

whole thing to the last de-
tail, and like Mrs. May, she's
