Not Ashamed

CONGRATULATIONS and thank
You for your editorial I'VE
Are Not Ashamed"l It is time
that the stupidity monot-
onous chant going the
rounds about the shame, ,
the disgrace the sickness
of Washington" comes to an
end and is replaced with an
intelligently directed civic ef-
fort to improve the condi-
tons that need improving
without damning the entire
city unnecessarily.
! hope you can and will
pursue this matter in this
effective and constructive
vein.
Schuyler Lowe,
Director of General Admin
istration, District Govern
ment.
One does not often have to
read In the responsible press
such an ill-advised and badly
reasoned editorial.
The responsibility for con-
ditions In Washington rests
on our homes and our schools,
on the courts for inadequate
enforcement Of the laws, and
on the Congress for failure to
provide means to make pos
sible an efficient District
government. All these things
are known; they are talked
and written about. Yet prog
ress In improving the situa-
ton Is very SLOW. The state
Of mind indicated In this
Star editorial will not help.
A. H. Leavitt.
49,
Recent editorials in The
Star have been examples of
thoughtful. moral Journalism
which seeks to lead rather
than to fan already inflamed
passions. I'VE Are Not
Ashamed" warns the hearts
OF all WaShingtonians who
are weary Of accusing fingers
and national criticism. The
calm, responsible voice of
The Star has always been
authoritative, never more so
than now.
Congratulations from one
who is proud to be a third
generation Washingtonian.
Mary O'COnnOr MOriarty.
So
It was high time someone
exposed the false and hys-
terieal propaganda that has
been labelling Washington as
a Crime sick city" etc. All
one needs to do is to look at
the Crime Index of Metro
politan Areas published by
the FBI to find how WASH
ington actually compares
with other cities.
Please send two specially
marked copies Of that edi.
torial to your two columnists,
David Lawrence and Fletcher
Knebel. who need to read it
more than anybody else.
Arthur B. Caldwell.
Inc juvenile rationaliZa-
ton Of Washington's crime
and race problems as ex-
pressed in the SOS your

Hearty congratulations on
the editorial in defense OF

all the right things. While I,
too, wish the city were better,
I'm proud TO be a resident.

crops are curing under less fav-
orable conditions than crops
harvested earlier.
The late tobacco has a high
moisture content and can be
seriously damaged by low tenn
peratureS which cause freezing
of both stalks and leaves. 1t
very difficult to salvage crop
of frozen tobacco. says Mathews.
The specialists advice is to
| prevent freezing. When freezing
temperatures are forecast. pro-
vide heat by using several coke
| stoves. or gas burners will dis
tributed in the barn. If no stoves
are available, coke can be burn
ed in old oil drums or or the
floor Of the barn. All coke fires
should be started outside the
barn and moved in after the
coke has stopped smoking.
| Charcoal may be burned on
the ground without any equip
ment. A number of small char
coal fires 90 to Ia, well spaced
in the barn will raise the tenn
perature enough to prev en-
freezing unless temperatures

tons will not be practical where

SEAMS TO ME

By wearing interesting

separates can be given the
illusion of being completely
different outfits. The two
illustrated can be made to
look dressy or casual depend
ing on the fabrics you choose.
For the top belt, I used two
tones of cotton satin to go
with my pastel pants and
silk shirts. For the bottom
belt, I used rayon taffeta for
hostess and dance skirts.
TwO-TOne Cotton Sash:
Cut two pieces of different
colors on the bias. Each
strip is 8 inches wide and as
long as your front waist
measurement plus 40 inches.
Add u inch for seam allow

gether, stitch two pieces to-
gether along one long side.
Stitch other long side leaving
a 3-inch opening to turn.
Stitch the two short sides.
Trim seams, turn to right

These are trying times for
