Let's get the living room
out Of mothballs, suggests
Robert Lindenthal, Chicago
interior designer and vice
president of the National So
ciety of Interior Designers.

come a status symbol like

museum, a show place." he

It's ridiculous if not down.
right insulting to lead
guests through a beautifully
furnished living room or to
give them a peek from the
door as you escort them into
the so-called family room
that is furnished with OBJ
jects that "can take it." he
points out.
"In days past when people
had large, elegant living
rooms, there was some excuse
for adjourning to what they
called a den or library. 1t
was cozier when entertaining
a small group. But today's
family room that is furnished
with durable junk has no re-
semblance to it," he says.
Excuses Out
All the old excuses for that
attitude are broken down now
that the home has shed the
all-beige look and we have
gone through the medical
white era, he says.
IL is easy TO take care OF
good furnishings because
lovely fabrics are long wear
ing. There are prints of
damask patterns on canvas,
prints on heavy linen, on sail
cloth. You can treat fabric to
make it stain and dirt resist
ant, and the gayest colors do
not fade. Wallpapers are
washable.
People will say, Well what
do we do about the television
set?'" Mr.. Lindenthal says.
But manufacturers have
made new sets that are good
looking any place. If not, the
set may be put behind tall
green's, a screen or in cabi-
nets" he says.

READERS CLEARING HOUSE

I would appreciate hearing
from women having similar
experiences. Must we sit back
and do nothing, or do we
start a campaign against this
robbery of our time, energy
and money?
Perhaps something can be
done collectively. to help us
get service out our appli-
ances, so that they may truly
be time savers once again.

much credit for showing a vast

as performer but as person.
He also added: ''Paar used his
Tonight TV show to make it pos
sible for Negroes to do more than
sing, dance. or tell jokes. Paar

Thus far, replies have been re-

The campaign is aimed at ending

ment.
Initiated by Lutuli and King
The campaign grows out of a
document, Appeal for Action

integrationist leader Martin Luth-
er King and South African Nobel
Peace Prize-winner Albert John
Lutuli. More than $50 International
Unknown personalities have en-
dorsed the document The focus
of the campaign is contained in
a single statement: 'The Apartheid
Republic is a reality today only

willing to place it in quarantine. !"
Call for Action
In an accompanying statement,
the American Committee on Africa
asks citizens and governments to
take action. The list of suggestions
includes: Refuse to buy and ask
dealers to refuse to carry pro-

SHOW GAIN IN
CONGRESS RACE

WASHINGTON - When the 88th
Congress convenes in January,
Negroes will hold more seats than
at any time since the Civil War
Reconstruction days.
Four Negro House members won
reelection in Tuesdays balloting.
They were joined by fifth, Demo
crat Augustus F. Hawkins, VIII o
will represent the newly created
21st District of California.
Hawkins defeated a Negro Re-
publican candidate to represent
the district, which is part Of Los
Angeles.
In the election of 1874, Negro
candidates reached their peak
strength. With the Southern states
under carpetbag rule, one Negro
was sent to the Senate and seven
to the House.
At least one Negro from the
South served in every Congress
thereafter until 1901. However,
after 1901 no Negro held a con-
gresSional seat until 1923.
In Tuesdays balloting incum-
bent Negro members of the House
won reelection with ease. All
Democrats, they are Reps. Adam
Clayton Powell, N. Y; Charles
C. Diggs Jr., Detroit; William L.
Dawson, Chicago, and Robert N.
C. Nix, Philadelphia. All of the
incumbentS represent districts
with heavy Negro populations and
all were opposed by Negro Re-
publicans.
