If we satisfy their security
requirements, they will salts
fly ours and the contest can
continue by peaceable means
falls once more to the
ground, to be picked up yet
again, I am also afraid, by
the neutralists, the British
socialists and their intellec-
tual compatriots everywhere.
The Strongest Positions
We are reminded that we
must not simply assume that
this world contest is a battle
for mems minds" or that the
winning side will be the side
that proves it can do the
most for people," The win
ming side may be the one
that holds the strongest pow
er positions.
We are reminded that with
predominant power goes pre-
dominant responsibility and
that this includes the re-
sponsibility, when our case is
sound, to create allied SOL
idarity by acting, not by
waiting for it to solidify
first; that world opinion" is
also created, like consumer
wants, and does not have an
independent existence of it's
own, anymore than it has an
operating edge. ...
We are reminded of the
usefulness of the United Ma
lions, not in terms Of any
initial or independent action
of its own, but in terms of
its capacity to defect, alb
serb, justify and legalize the
actions of great powers. 1t
appears to be, in these ter
rible wars of nerves, as. utter
ly necessary to all sides as
was Switzerland in two con-
ventional wars.
Finally, most of us learned,
I suspect, from the great
fright, that we would not,
after all, prefer to Idle with
dignity" than live among
ruination. Very few there
must have been who did not
give anxious thought to
means of escape or protec-
ton from possible blasts and
radiation. The survival in
Stinct is simply too powerful
to be reasoned away. Since
this is so, I believe it the
plain duty of Government to
aid the chances of survival
by the most thorough plan
ming and most detailed in
Struction of every citizen in
civil defense. I do not believe
for a moment this would
make us either more war
like" or more complacent. In
our time we have seen great
cities, in fact whole nations,
unimaginably shattered and
yet seen their life gather and
flower again.
This is what would happen
with us, should my pesSi-
mistic Los Angeles frien d
have sensed the true mean
ing of those six days in o.
tober.

Bias Charge
Delays Filling
OF lPAC job

The Illinois Public Aid Commits
sion has held up the appointments
OF two Champaign County case
workers pending an investigation
Of a charge by all t'rbana woman
that she was denied job With lie
Commission because of racial
prejudice
The charge has been made BY
Mrs Anna Wall Scott, 300 ".
Michigan Ave, who claims she
was told by a member of the Citi-
zens Advisory Committee that she
was being denied the job as case
worker because she is a Negro
and is married to a white man.
She identified the member of the
committee as County Judge Fred
erick S. Green, according to a
story appearing in recent edition
Oh the Chicago Defender, Negro
publication.
Commented Judge Green, The
advisory board has placed upon It
the burden of making recommen-
dations and has made its recon-
Imendation in this matter.
"Other than that I have no com
ment to make.
Mrs. Scott placed first in the
eligibility list in the case worker
classification, according to the
story.
The story, by Kenneth Field,
was given page one treatment un-
der the headline, Husband White,
Denied Top Job.
The story, which appears inside,
says in part: According to Rep.
Corneal Davis, Of Chicago, who IN
terceded with Gov. Kerner and the
IPAC. on her behalf, Mrs. Scott
received a call from County Judge
Frederick S. Green, chairman of
the advisory committee, advising
her of her eligibility and declar.
ing he could not recommend her.
The Illinois times., 1962-01-24

Mrs. Scott said the Judge i'm
piled she would be objectionable
to some of the Negro leaders. Mrs.
Scott said she contacted Negro
leaders in the community, who. in
turn, visited Judge Green and they
expressed ar opposite opinion.
Mrs. Scott also circulated a pc
tition among Negroes and whites
and obtained more than 500 Signa-
lures attesting TO her good charac-
ter and qualifications for the dis
'puted Job.
"A male member ol The adVis-
.ory committee told Mrs. Scott that
The fact that she was married to
a white man and living in white
community made it a ioregone
conclusion that you will not be
considered "
Mrs. Scott later was informed
two white persons we're being rec
commended by the committee. The
story relates, and at its January
injecting the IPAC held up appoint
ments of the two white persons
and informed the Champaign Of
flee it could find no reason other
than racial why Mrs. Scott vas
rot hired
Peter W Cahll, IPAC executive
secretary, said, according to the
Defenders story, that the refusal
to hire Mrs. Scott was ION lis
face based on racial discrimina-
ton.
Cahill was not available for COM
ment Friday on the story.
The story further quotes Cahill
as saying the IPAC has deferred
until its February meeting further
action until "a complete mveStiga-
ton has been made.
Meanwhile, C. Virgil Martin,
IPAC chairman and president Of
Carson Pirie Scott & Co., plans 10
meet Judge Green and other ad
visory committee members IN
Champaign later this month and
suggest that they must show ret
sons other than racial for not hu-
ing Mrs. Scott
Martin will be in Urbana ~
Tuesday to address the annuslAS-
sociation of Commerce banquet at
the Urbana Lincoln Motor Inn.

gree in sociology and a masters
in education from the University of
Illinois. Her husband, John T.
Scott, is Douglas County farm

patterns in many different fig
ure types and size ranges. The
only guide given for choosing
the correct pattern, however, is
by bust, waist, hip and back
bodice length measurements.
This is a poor guide and works
for very few women, according
to Miss Janet Reed, clothing
specialist at the University of
Delaware. If you find the cor
rect pattern, alterations can be
eliminated or reduced to a min
imum, says Miss Reed. The
best indication of pattern size
is to try on a basic pattern and
compare sizes and figure types.
The style of the dress and the
brand of pattern make a differ
ence in the size needed from
one time to another. Once you
find the brand that fits well,
continue to use it. Differences

shape. dart placement and pat.

been warned not to touch.
The surest means of keeping
small. inquisitive hands away
from poisonous products is to
keep such substances under lock
and key. Since this isn't al
ways practical, here are some
other pointers to keep in mind:
If your child takes something
that may be poisonous, call
your doctor for instructions al
once. Don't wait to see what
happens.
Never transfer poisonous ma
terials from their original con-
tainers; especially never store
them in pop bottles. glasses,
cups, bowls, etc. Children ma
turally assume things in such
containers are for eating.
Never leave a child alone
when you're working with
cleaners. polishes, insecticides
or other poisons. Wash con-
taminated utensils Immediately
Give medicines only in

better fit, even if patterns are
all based on the same body
measurements.
The loose fitting styles which
have been in the fashion pic
ture have meant smaller pat
tern sizes for many women. AS
we move into a more fitted
silhouette, Miss Reed says. you
may find you need a larger size.
The most important place for
a pattern to fit is through the
neckline and shoulders. Altera-
tions in this area are difficult
to make if they are to still re-
tain the style lines of the gar
ment. 1t is easier to make al
terations at the buStline, waist,
and hips. There is no good
guide to choosing pattern
with proper shoulder fit. Ex-
perience has been an expensive
teacher for many women, ac-
cording to Miss Reed.
Body build is an important
factor in pattern choice. If you

love to explore.

love 10 explore.
Medicines also are extremely
dangerous, except in the correct
dose for the person for whom
they are specifically recommend
ed. Too much Of virtually ary
medicine can be poisonous. AS
pirin, a virtual staple in every
home, is the primary cause of
poison deaths among children
under five.
To emphasize potential poi
son dangers in the home, espec-
tally dangers to small children,
the week Of March 1924 has
been declared National Poison
Prevention Week. The Ameri-
can Medical Association during
the week will join with other
organizations in urging safety
measures against poison.
Don't think that because some
thing doesn't taste good, a child
won't eat it. His inborn curios-
ity will lead him to sample al
most anything, even if he has

500 Children
Die Each Year
From Poisoning

There are 250,oG0 products
for use in the home which con
tain one form Of poison or an
other. 1t is little wonder then,
that 600000 children manage to
poison themselves each year. OF
these about 500 die.
Cleaning and polishing agents,
detergents. cosmetics, paint. tur-
pentine, petroleum-based pro-
ducts, bleaches, plant foods,
plaster and thousands of similar
items ali may contain poison.
Many of these substances can
be found in such places as the
cabinet under the sink, the
broom closet, the bedroom dres-
ser, etc.-places toddlers just

are slender with a large frame,
you may have the same meas
urement as a more fleshy wom-
an with a small frame. but the
same size pattern will not fix
equally well.
New figure types recently de
veloped include the junior Pc
tite, petite and proportioned pat
terms. More and better styles
are now available in half sizes.
For girls, subteen and chubby
sizes have been added.
To help you select the proper
pattern, Miss Reed has develop
ed basic kit of patterns from
girls size s to women's sizes

tern selection and fitting, Miss

lighted room and discard old
medicines which are no longer
being used.
When you throw away haZ-
ardous materials, be sure chill
dren can't rummage into them.
The important thing to keep
in mind is this: Poisons lurk
in a variety of common diSguis-
es and can be hiding in any
nook and Granny in the home.
No child is safe in a room by
himself, at least not for long.
