SEAMS TO ME
New Accessories
Adding Charm

About q year and q half
ago, I wrote about q frilly
lace and net cover for q
tissue container. Since then,
I have received Q steady
stream Of requests to repeat
it. Rather than do the same
cover again, I'd like to show
you q different version, made
Of printed or gingham check
fabric and trimmed with vel
vet ribbon. II you prefer the
lacy style, just follow the
same instructions but sub
stitute nylon net and ruffled
lace 2-inch wide in place Of
the fabric and ribbon.
You'll Need: "a yard cot

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

O.: We should like you to
settle an argument. One of
my office mates says that the
correct word to use to describe
liquid that can be easily ignited
is "flammable." He says that
the Government requires all
trucks carrying such liquid
gasoline, etc.-to print this
word on the side and back. It
seems to me that "inflam-
mable" is a better word. In
fact, I can't find "flammable"
In my dictionary at all. Please
advise.-C. E. B., Omaha, Nebr.
A: There has long been
confusion on this point-con-
fusion that, in my opinion, is
wholly unnecessary. Some years
ago the insurance underwriters
not the Government-urged
oil companies and other car
riers Of bulk equitable fluids
to print "flammable" on their
trucks.
The genius who decided on
"flammable," hitherto q little
used word, instead Of the very
common "inflammable" gave
as his reason the fear that
people unfamiliar with English
might think the Gin" meant
mot" Thus, in his view, a
driver with little command of
English chow did he get his
license in the first placer
would see the sign "inflam-
mable" interpret it to mean
NOT explosive" and but
the thought was never carried
further. Its foolishneSs should
have been obvious.
Today "flammable" is inter-
changeable with "inflamma-
ble." In fact most dictionaries
define "flammable" with the
single word "inflammable. /"
But there seem to be faint
signs Of a return to sanity on
the part Of some tanker-truck
operators. On a recent drive
in New England I noticed two
trucks Of a major oil company
with the welcome and logical
label "inflammable" on sides
and back.

SHERWOOD ON BRIDGE
Rule of Eleven Aids in Planning
By ALFRED SHERWOOD

East shifted to a low club at
the second trick. and West won
with the queen. Back came a
club to force out South's ace.
East got in with the king Of
hearts in time to cash another
club trick, defeating the con-
tract.
Back TO Start
Now let's 60 back to the start
OF the hand to see how the
Rule of Eleven helps. Subtract
the six OF diamonds from
eleven, getting a remainder Of
five. There are exactly five
higher diamonds In the North,
East, and South hands.
South can see three higher
diamonds In the dummy, and
one In his own hand. This
means that East can have only
one diamond higher than the
six.
When East plays the king Of
diamonds. South can safely
drop the queen. He can later
take a finesse with dummy's
ten Of diamonds, knowing that
East cannot hold the Jack. The
ten Of diamonds wins, and South
can then discard q club on the
ace Of diamonds.
You may say that South
should have dropped the queen
Of diamonds even II he had
never heard Of the Rule Of
Eleven, and this is true as the
cards lie. Still, South would have

Of soft, bIowy silks and silk oouzes

Try Pompons For
Party Decorations

Are you looking for a new dec
grafton idea for your next big
party? Here's one that will add
color and warmth to your party
room.
Make pompons of facial tissues
in large, medium and small sizes.
Pompons are easy to make. Here's
how: take six tissues of the color
you wish. Fold the tissues in half
and fringe with scissors, making
cuts one-fourth inch apart up to
one inch from the top. Shake the
fringe out and wrap around the
end of a thin dowel stick. Fasten
with heavy thread or fine wire
and you'll have a giant tissue
pompon.
For a gay dance, use all white
Kleenex tissues to make pompons
that look like snoWballs. Or you
might try a combination of pink,
yellow and aqua tissues. Hang the
pompons from the ceiling and tie
in clusters for corner decorations.
Besides decorating your room and
b eing wonderful conversation
starters, they make ideal favors
for each guest when the party's
over.

H. Kern, pastor of the Most Holy
Trinity Church in Detroit read the
statement.
The statement said in. part: I'VE
express our deep sadness that for
the most part the churches and
synagogues of our communities
have failed to assume their role of
leadership in awakening the con-
science of the people of metropoli-
tan Detroit to the moral evil of
nei 6 h hborhood segregation and
housing discrimination.
I'VE can call this no less than
sin and disobedience to the will Of
God"
The statement called for the
churches and synagogues of the
state to combine in committees to
work for appropriate state open
occupancy legislation"
House Minority Leader Joseph
Kowalsh called on Gov. Romney
to support civil rights early in the
1868 session.
Kowalski said a bill to estab-
lish a civil rights commission would
be introduced on the first day of
the 1868 legislative session.
A Detroit Democrat, Rep. George
Edwards, has proposed the crea-
ton of a commission during each
of the last several legislative ses-
sions.

How To Travel
With Children

Planning to take your children
on an auto trip soon? Be prepared!
Here are a few suggestions which
may prove helpful.
Be sure to pack all feeding equip
ment in one waterproof bag OF
box, so it's together in one place
when you need it.
Give young children advance
practice sessions with any unfam-
iliar utensils they might be using
on the trip.
Take along plenty of between
meal drinks and snacks to tide
over unexpected delays.
Pack at least one box of Klee-
mex tissues for quick cleanups
They're ideal for cleaning sticky
hands in hurry.
Favorite toys and playthings
should go along. For older chill
dren, have some word games
planned in advance to entertain
them.

RomneY Michigan's
New Governor Calls
Bios Worst Problem

Detroit. - discrimination Is
Michigan's most urgent domestic
problem, Gov. George Romney told
the Metropolitan Conference on
Open Occupancy.
Ten per cent of our citizens
are not free to choose where they
will work, where they will live,
where they will vacation, and
often, where they will go to school.
This is a continuation Of injustice
i'm the sight of God and man."
Housing discrimination in Mich
igan admittedly Is a massive prob
lem, and clearly the core Of the
problem is discrimination based
on race" Romney said.
II believe there Is a sufficiently
broad acceptance of equality in
housing, education and employ
ment to permit appropriate action
in some areas Of state legisla-
tion," the governor added.
Push Constitution
Romney took the opportunity to
push the proposed new state con-
stitution to the 1900 listeners at
the conference.
"When the new constitution Is
approved" he said, ut will be my
responsibility as governor to work
for the most effective implementa-
ton of the civil rights commission.
II shall appoint members Of the
commission on the basis of demon
strated interest, moral courage
and competence. I shall recommend
appropriations for sufficient staff
and a vigorous educational and en-
forcement program" he said.
The governor also put his sup
port behind the controversial rule
9" of the corporation and securit-
les commission.
No Right
Romney said his position had
always been clear - "a hcensee of
the state has no right - directly
or indirectly - to initiate, encour-
age or perpetuate the practice Of
discrimination"
The conference was aimed at
awakening the community con-
science" to the discrimination in
Detroit housing. Wrapping up the
two-day meeting, members of the
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
faiths adopted a 10-page statement
of conclusions and recommenda-
tons.
