when buying wash and = wear
dress.
When looking especially for
easy care, select a waSh-and-
wear dress with a full, gathered
skirt and few frills. This style is
easiest to "eouch-up", - and all
waSh-and-wear cottons require
some ironing.
Select a garment that has set-in
sleeves rather than those of
kimona design. The resin that
makes the fabric wash-and-
wearable also makes the fabric
less resistant to tearing. The
style that fits easily and has few
strain points is the better buy.
Higher priced garments tested
required less care, wrinkled less
during wearing and looked better
after repeated laundering. But
because of the high resign finish
which makes these features pos
sible, the fabric in these dresses
had low strength. These dresses
could not be expected to wear as
well as less expensive, less
treated dresses.

Before cooking asparagus, rinse
it in warm water TO remove any

THE CHRISTOPHER
SITUATION

In view of the fact that we have
received several inquiries relative
to the status of grasshoppers in the
county, a recent report from en-
bomologists surveying the situation
should be in order. Federal and
state entomologists making recent
inspections in this area find little
evidence of graSShopper activity at
the present. It appears that the
the middle of May has been des-
troyed by the prolonged cool, wet
weather conditions. AS past his
tory has often demonstrated, the
right combination of weather con-
ditions can reduce a severe insect
infestation in a short time. 1t has
also been demonstrated that grass
hoppers cannot survive too long
under adverse weather conditions
especially during the nymph stage.
AT any rate, all but some of the
very early Matched grasshoppers
seem to be gone for the time being
at least. Our Assistant State En-
tomologist, DR.. George Roemhild,
informs us, however, that farm
ers and ranchers should be on
guard for sporadic outbreaks in
certain areas where there may be
late matches. In case of these out
breaks, chemical control measures
should be employed at once to
prevent crop injury and to keep
the infestation from spreading. If
such outbreaks occur, we would
certainly appreciate hearing about
it so that positive Identification of
the grasshopper species involved
can be made. AS can be expected.
there is always concern as to
whether or not migratory species
are present.

Determination Wins
Cub0n Escapee
IndionS' Contract

Cleveland (ANP) - The CleVe-
land Indians have signed a IT.
year-old Cuban pitcher to a minor
league contract.
Behind that routine development
lies an almost-incredible story Of
bravery and determination.
The pitcher is Manuel Enrique
Hernandez Gazmuri, who a couple
of weeks ago was a pitching and
batting star in one of Cuba's top
amateur leagues.
But Gazmuri and four other
men, weary of the Castro regime,
fled Cuba in a 16-foot boat with a
five-horsepower motor, escaping to
Marathon Cape, Fla, 40 miles
north of Key West. They were
given refuge in this country by
immigration authorities.
The motor stopped three times
en- route and sharks swan around
the crowded boat. The occupants
could not stand up or change posi-
ton in the 17-hour, 130-mile trip
because of lack of space.
Gazmuri was signed through an
Indian scout, Julio (Munchy) De
ARGOS, who serves as the young
ster's interpreter. Gazmuri knows
such Cuban major league stars as
Minnie Minoso, but he cannot
speak much English.
Guzmuri compiled a record Of 10
victories and two defeats, hurting
seven shutouts and in two games
he lost he allowed only one run
per game.
He was once called the model o1
Cuban youth, but members Of the
Castro regime branded him a trai.
tor because Of his desire to come
to the United States. He was TOLD
that he would never be allowed tc
leave the country.

Nine Non-SoufheFn
Cries To End Jim
Crow In Schools

New York. - School boards in
at least nine non-southern cities
have announced plans to get rid
of segregated public schools with
in their respective jurisdictions
with the opening Of the 1962-63
school term in September, a sur
vey by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People reveals.
The findings, made public here
yesterday (Aug. 26) by NAACP
Executive Secretary Roy wilkins,
are based on studies Of racial pat
terms in public schools in So cities
in Is northern and western states
Despite anti-segregation state
statutes and the United States Su-
preme Court ruling Of May II,
1854, it is clear that segregated
schools exist in many non-south-
ern areas" Mr.. wilkins said in
releasing the findings of the
NAACP survey.
Resulted From Housing GhettOs
Much Of this is the result Of
patterns Of residential segrega-
tion," he said. However, a sub
stantial part Of it is the result Of
deliberate planning on the part Of
local school boards to contain Ne
gro children in particular schools
either by gerry-mander Of zone
lines or by other devices. What
ever the cause, segregated educa-
ton is unconstitutional under the
us. Supreme Court ruling. The
NAACP will continue its efforts
to rid the country of inferior, seq
regated schools" Mr.. wilkins as
serted.
The nine non-southern cities
which have announced voluntary
desegregation plans for next
month are Eloy, Ariz.; Stamford,
Conn; Mr.. Vernon, Ill; Jersey
City, Montclair, Morristown, and
Newark, N. j.; Coatesville and
Washington, Pa.
Is Law Suits Filed
Law suits to achieve desegrega-
ton of public schools have been
filed in IA non-southern cities. A
federal district court Judge dis
missed three New Jersey desegre-
cation suits on the ground that
the plaintiffs had not exhausted
administrative remedies. Such suits
were dismissed in Bridgeton, En-
glewood and Orange. A counter
suit, brought by some white par
ents to stay desegregation in Mont
clair, was dismissed on the same
ground. However, the Orange and
Bridgeton cases are now pending
before the New Jersey Commis-
sioner of Education.
Eleven suits are now pending in
federal courts. These include de-
segregation actions instituted in
Pasadena, Calf; Gary, Ind; Cent
erville and Chicago, Ill; Kansas
City, Kans.; Amityville, Hemp
stead, Manhasset, Rochester and
Westbury, NY; and Philadelphia
The Gary suit is set for trial on
Sept. 10 and in the Orange case
Commissioner of Education Fred
erick M. Raubinger has set Oct.
2 as the date for a final hearing
on the merits. NAACP experts
are now investigating the school
situations in Gary and Orange.
