when in doubt, pick Q con-
tainer Of neutral color and
without ornamentation."
This advice has helped many
an arranger make UP her mind
and has lived up to expecta-
taions. When ever q container
combines unobtrusively into a
complete and harmonious unit
with the chosen plant material,
q measure of success is already
achieved.
But, suppose you have fallen
madly in love with a thing OF
beauty and 1t is q highly orna-
mented, beautiful vase which
came from the hands Of an
artist and master potter,
Would you Just let 1t stand
idle and look at 1t, or would
you rather enjoy 1t completely
and use 1t for the purpose for
which 1t was created2 Its
strong pattern Of low relief, Its
contrast Of cream and light
lumber to orange color, Its
glazed and unglazed areas have
such an exciting quality that
you feel inspired to combine
it with flowers which can stand
a little competition.
Today, gladiolas, miniature
carnations and bronze Il leaves
are in complete harmony with
this beautiful and ornate con-
tainer. Last week, this same
pottery held the young, bronze
leaves of the copper beech and
yellow roses with great dignity
The week before that, when the
double white lilac was at ttS
height, the container held Q
frosty cloud of lilac combined
with pink, double-flowereo
tulips.
Each Of these arrangements
gave the container q COM
pletely different aura. II
looked as sweet as spun sugar
as rich as FURNISHED gold anc
today 1t looks sophisticated
and q bit proud.

Why Not Use 1t?
BY MRS. HERBfRr \. eREeER

Because Of the above advice
many beautiful, highly orna-
mented containers have been
relegated to the darkest corner
of the shelf. It takes q little
nerve to 60 away from the
strong currents Of contempo-
rary fashion. But 1t is q relief to
know that 1t Is neither despotic
nor absolute. AS long as an
exception to the rule can stand
up and prove its point. It viii
exist and perhaps even insti-
gate q little change.
The tallest spikes Of gladiola
are anchored on q small nall
holder at the bottom Of the
container, the rest Of the flow
ers slip conveniently between
these firm stems. Areas Of dark
color interrupt the predomi-
nantly light colored grouping.
Attention to the overall pat
tern Of the container and to
the silhouette gives great
depth and variety.
When your eye travels over
this design, you will discern
two major groups which blend
into one unit. The more prom
inent one starts with a bold
stroke at the rim Of the con-
tainer and moves In q challow,
horizontal curve to the left.
The taller group creates a COM
patible silhouette with the con-
tainer and gives the gladiolas
the opportunity to show their
proud poise.

He voted for the Eisenhower civil

He voted for a change in the fill

that Southern Democrats bottled

that there have been times when
Dirksen sided with Dixie legisla-
tors on civil rights issues.
Dirksen declined to discuss his
conversations with Mitchell. But
there is no doubt he felt genuinely
affronted and aggrieved by the at

PILGRIM BAPTIST


Sunday, February 10 was OBJ
served as Race Relations Sunday
at Pilgrim Baptist Church, st.
Paul. Worshippers heard DR.. Mas
sey preach from the subject: EN-
ancipation". The text of the ser
mon was taken from Matthew
$3.50.
In scholarly manner, the min
lister delivered a sermon that was
historical in nature. He gave
vivid word picture how when
slaves were freed, some came to
st. Paul and founded Pilgrim Bap-
fist Church. DR.. Massey continued
by pointing out the Negro has
done more for the south than the
south can ever repay. They taught
the Masters children, built rail-
roads and even fought on the side
of their Masters during the Civil
war.
Lncoln's role was shown as one
of indecision; he acted at times
as if he did not know what to do.
He was slow to act because as a
great politician, he was slow to
move against the wishes of large
segment of the population. Yet, he
had the welfare of the country at
heart. This is exemplified in a
letter he wrote to Greedy wherein
he declared If he could save the
Union without freeing the slaves,
he would do so and if he could
save the union by freeing all of
them, he would do so.
In conclusion DR.. Massey SUBJ
mitted that no one could ever be
free until free inside. No man can
be free until he accepts Jesus
Christ as Savior and lives accord
ing to His teachings. Prayer frees
a man and makes him ready for
the battle ahead. Prayer can free
you Of jealousy, fear, discourage
ment and hatred. Jesus was the
most completely free man the
world has ever known. He had no
wealth, no place to lay His head,
no earthly possessions save the
cloak He wore. The Cross, the
grave, none Of these could enslave
Him, for He was completely free.
Music was provided by the Sem
ior Choir and Gospel Chorus under

FACTION FAILS IN ATTEMPT TO
DUST METHODIST MINISTER WHO
SIGNED MISS. ANTI-BIAS Statement
.ridian, Miss. (ANP)

Meridian, Miss. CAMP - A
faction in a white Methodist
church was unsuccessful last week
In its bid to GUST its minister, be-
cause he was one of % young
Methodist clerics who signed a
statement opposing racial discrim-
nation.
The Rev. Edward McRae, pastor
of the Oakland Heights Methodist
church, last week received a vote
Of confidence from his church
stewards.
The vote came after the group
opposed to McRae's stand circul-
ated a petition asking for his re-
lease. It was taken in a closed ses-
sion.
Had the group been successful
in ousting McRae, he would have
followed the Rev. Bill hampton,
who was forced to quit his post as
pastor Of the Mount Pisgah Meth
odist church, near McComb, Miss.
Two tires on Lampton's car were
slashed two days after publication
of the statement.
Hampton left the rural communi-
ty for his hometown, Columbia,
carrying his wife and child with
him.
Meanwhile, Jack Budd, a re-
porter for the Meridian Star, said
he lost a tooth when a Oakland
Heights church member attacked
him outside after he tried to attend
the meeting in the McRae case.
Budd said he left when ordered
out Of the church but was attacked
as he stood outside and looked In.
The statement by the % minis
tiers, all Mississippi natives, called
for an end to racial discrimination
and opposed the closing Of public
schools to prevent degeneration.
