chenille, sequins, ribbons and
net.
The leaders of the Home
makers Council decided to Sc
lect the outstanding ones for
each category. The most out
standing decoration was an arti-
fetal tree trimmed with sea
shells by Mrs. Edith Armstrong
of Potomac Valley. Mrs. Arm
strong was at the beach in
Naples, Fla, last winter when
she started to collect sea shells.
With Testers paint, the kind
boys use for model planes, she
paints them different colors
and puts on the glitter. She
cements the shells to the tiniest
of Christmas balls in different
shaped groups. From then on,
my Imagination takes over" she
comments.
The overall effect is stunning
and Mrs. Armstrong is be-
coming famous over it. She's
been on radio, TV, was written
up in a magazine and even had
a commercial offer. She's not
interested. She'd rather give
them away to bazaars or'church
benefits.
Chicken Wire Mobile
Runner up for decorations
was Mrs. A. B. Ground of Lay
louisville who seems to be a spe-
cialist with chicken wire. She
made a large mobile, sprayed it
with gold. and it's to hang from
an arch.
In the gift category, Mrs.
Hank Clay of Springfield Forest
offered to show how to make
bow ties.
AS for food or entertaining,
there were three recipes tabled
as outstanding: the Christmas
tree cake which is highly deco
rated, Canadian short bread,
and the celestial cookies that
are supposed to be, of all things,
heavenly light. The recipe for
the cookies belongs to Mrs.
Davis Chase of Glenmont. Here
it is:

The 10th Annual Halloween

It's called Christmas Open
House and everything is on
display from soup to nuts" says
Helen Seifert. She ought to
know because not only is she
crafts chairman for the Mont
gomery County Homemakers'
Council but she initiated this
vast undertaking. 1t all came
about when she suggested
everyone "take time out to hear
the angels sing"
Each Homemakers' Club
throughout the county was
asked to share ideas on how to
make simple, inexpensive gifts
and decorations-three per club,
and the results have been pretty
terrific. Altogether, 120 differ
ent ideas.
OlNe "A Dit Vi ioCh
"Tve made Christmas gifts
for years and so have my chill
dren,' Helen Seifert, mother OF
four, remarks. "All year long
we buy things for our children.
It's one time when we can give
bit of ourselves to those
around us who are extra spe-
cial."
Every year, early in Deem
Der, Helen makes and decorates
cookies to give to her brothers
and sisters and also her mother
Don't you remember your
own mother doing something
like this?" she asks. Helen has
a vivid picture of her mother
making chocolate-covered fon
dant, how she used to stand al
the stove and patiently wipe the
crystals off the pan as soon as
it formed. She'll never forget it
Her mother took time out oil
her busy routine to do just one
little thing, but it meant sc
much.
I'm sure all of us have similar
memories we wouldn't take &
million for. Build memories by
sharing ideas, is what the ladies
are trying to do.

can campaign on them" said Ran
dolph.
AT this point" asserted the
labor leader, ''it does not appear
to us that either party can deliver
on civil rights as stated in their
platforms"
The urgency for both parties
endorsing a strong civil rights pro-
gram is uneqlivocably dictated by
international and national devel-
opments of great magnitude" RAN
dolph observed.
In terms Of substance there is
no basic difference in either plank,
he told newsInen.
Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive
director, Wednesday termed the

and U.N. SecretaTy-General Dag
Hammarskjold.
.. VIII Release Report ~
Lumumba would not reveal the
conclusions reached in the confer
ence but assured members Of the
press that a complete report would
be released.
For 5O-minutes the Prime Min
lister told Of the treatment the
people Of the Congo had been re-
ceiving at the hands Of the Bel
gians. They have been called all
kinds of names by the Belgiums
such as apes, ruffians and scound-
rels. They have been accused Of
raping white women, but not a
single culprit has been arrested,
although the Belgians dominate
everything. They have taken over
the administration Of the country,
the police force, the army-absol-
utely everything Is 100 per cent
represented by the Belgians.
He pointed out that the Congol-
ese are people Of integrity. They do
not believe in violence. They have
lived for 80 years in sincere friend
ship with Belgians when the Bel
gians came to the Congo they were
welcomed as friends. Even those
who live in the Congo today have
no occasion to complain Of the
behavior Of the Africans toward
them. The Congolese people do not
want the expulsion Of Europeans
or the appropriation Of their prop
erty. They only want to run their
own affairs and build their father
land in friendship and cooperation
with the Belgians.
"Congolese people have no hat
red for the white man; they are
only struggling against injustice,
unjustified domination and want
onness," said the Prime Minister,
He pointed out that the Congolese
Government signed a treaty with
Belgium but that two or three days
later, Belgium had violated 1t by
sending occupation troops into the
country on the flimsy pretext of
protecting Belgian citizens.
Thanks Security Council
Premier Lumumba thanked the
UN Security Council for unani-
mously voting for the withdrawal
Of Belgian troops from the Congo.
His chief purpose Of visiting this
country was to explain effectively
to the UN the cause Of the events
In the Congo and to request its
support in having Belgian troops
withdrawn from the territory ''im-
mediately."
In reply to a reporters question
on a deadllne for the withdrawal
the Prime Minister replied. 'Ti
they would leave tomorrow that
would be fine; but II they leave to-
day, that would be better"
The resolution to withdraw the
Belgian troops from the Congo was
presented to the United Nations on
July IA by representatives Of cey-
lon and TIlnisia. 1t was adopted
unanimously one week later.
Many comments have been dir.
ected to the UN by heads Of Other
states regarding this situation
