B RAIN S

By Andrew G. HafVenstein
Please tell me if there is difference
Between a man black in color, or white.
And challange white man with reference
To the record the black man has had:
Many black men do hold high position,
Some have won world renown in their field.
If, like white men they get education
The Black Race, brain Giants can yield.
When initiatives given to Negroes
Educated, job they can get
Then the white man really made progress
And present-day challenge is met.
Too long they been feeling, not wanted
Afraid, as the night shadows fall.
It's time that the Negroes be granted
Equality, promised 10 ALL.
May the Nation wake up from it's slumber,
The morning has come with its Light.
May God count this land in the number
OF Nations that do what Is right;
Employers, it's time you invited
The Negroes with skin you demand,
Race bias must now be uprooted
In America Freedoms great Land

Care and Cleaning Of Stainless
HatWare and Accessories

More and more brides are Sc.
lecting carefree stainless steel
datware over higher priced met
ais. So inexpensive, so easy to
care for it's guaranteed to last q
lifetime. Many young women to.
day are combining a career with
marriage. They simply don't
have the time to polish fiatwarS
and worry about proper storage.
They entertain frequently and
informally-thus the need for a
fatware service elegant enough
for company. practical enough
for everyday.
The increasing popularity Of
stainless steel flatwara and &C.
cessories Is. due TO its unusual
combination Of beauty and prac.
ticality. There is no more trouble
to keeping items made from this
metal clean than there is in
cleaning glassware and dishes.
Here are some hints from Jones
& Laughlin Steel Corporation on
cleaning stainless steel:
Wash your flatware and
service dishes in ordinary soapy
water with or without detergent
and rinse in warm soft water.
. Wipe everything dry to
avoid the streaks that come from
minerals in tap water.
To remove dried sticky food
deposits, soak the stainless item
in hot soapy water a few minutes
to help loosen the caked-on food.
If you have to scour, always
use stainless steel securing pads
available at hardware stores and
supermarkets. SliVers Of ordi-
nary steel wool may break of,
become embedded and cause dis.
celebration.
To remove burned-on spots,
make a simple paste Of ammonia,
fine securing powder and water.
You never need lacquer or
polish stainless. Even If you
