Sun-Bright Windows

ENJOY THE SUNSHINE
while it's here, with spar
king clean windows. In
grandma's day, keeping them
that way was q real chore
but today, there's q blue
spray mist window cleaner
which cleans glass quickly
and efficiently without even
getting your hands wet-just
spray IL on and wipe the
window clean with a paper
towel. The blue spray mist
Is recommended because Il
has a special preparation that
cuts dirt and grease and
leaves no film on the glass.
Paper towels are preferable
for window and glass clean
ing because they are free
from soap or detergent resi-
due which tends to leave
Streaks or Aim.
This modern way makes q
once tedious, yet necessary,
household task easy and sim
pie. Sunshine through clear,
clean window panes gives a
bright lift TO your whole
house - makes II q happier
place for family and friends.

Toledo, Ohio (ANP) - Toledo
banks and other lending institu-
lions refuse to make mortgage
loans to Negroes for purchase Of
property in lily-white neighbcr-
hoods because Of fear Of reprisala
from their depositors q City Coun-
Gil committee was told last week.
Testifying before the COMMITTEES,
King Baer, chairman Of the Board
of Community Relations housing
committee, and Frank Eager, BCR
executive secretary, said the lend
ing agencies rarely win finance
homes for Negroes in so-called
white neighborhoods.
The council committee IL study
ing a BCR proposal to enact OPEN
occupancy Legislation patterned
after laws In New York and other
states and New York city and
Pittsburgh
Some bankers would welcome
open-occupancy legislation, the
BCR Spokesman said. adding:
They would Hike to do the right
thing. but fear repercussions from
depositora."
They pointed out that in the
last 20 years. only 1 per cent Of
new homes built In the city have
been for occupancy by Negroes
Since 1850 there has been a o3 per
cent Increase in Negro population
but only 10 per cent in the number
Of residential blocks made avail
able for them.
They said that failure to end
residential segregation causes rae
ial tension.
Each day this practice con-
tinues the city Il losing ground to
the forces of segregation and
weaksns its efforts to end racial
friction" ... ...s .r

On Thursday, June "a, the Gar

garden tour which began with
breakfast at the home Of Mrs.
Booker Spencer, 343 4. 41st st.,
at 10 am. After an appetizing
breakfast, members toured the hos
tess yard which was ablaze with
color. A new member to the club,
Mrs. spencer's flower garden
showed much care and attention
had been given which is paying off
with lush blooms.
From here they went to the
home Of another beginner in gar
dening, Mrs. James Walker at 4130
Third Av. s. Her garden showed
that much love and care had gone
into it. The next stop was the
home of Mrs. Andrew Clark, ST.,
4045 Clinton, whose formal garden
with a profusion of roses in bloom,
as well as other flowers, was truly
picturesque and an inspiration to
every green THUNDER.
The colorful yard at the home
of Mrs. Estella Sims, 4O40 Fourth
Av. s. was neat and well kept and
beautifully arranged, while Mrs.
Spencer Shivers, 1921 Fourth Av.
s. had added roses to her collec-
ton which were ablaze with color
and of special mention was the
lovely vegetable garden, all neatly
arranged and the handiworl Of Mr..
Shivers as his pet hobby.
A profusion Of roses in bloom
was the conversation piece at the
home Of Mrs. Frank Corners, 1899
Fifth Av. g., as well as the riot Of
color Of her other flowers Mrs.
Mae MarshalPs well planned gar
den with a large variety Of old
fashioned flowers added that eleg-
ant touch.
The group then went to the
home Of Mrs. Clarlxson Houser,
last Albany Av., in st. Paul,
whose garden contained q large
variety of different flowers in
bloom and was very colorful and
picturesque. Especially adding
color was the new rose garden
planted around the rock garden.
Concluding the tour at the home
Of Mrs. Elmer Smith, 1919 Smelling
Av., whose garden showed care in
the arrangement. A new gardener,
Mrs. Smith promises to be an art
list as time goes on. Her dahlias
were the largest seen in any Of
the gardens.
Members enjoyed q picnic lunch
ON the lawn with a variety Of food
which was enjoyed and concluded
a memorable day. g..
