Household Hints If you have been wondering what to do with all those old felt hats that have been ac cumulating, check to see if ony of your lamps, ash trays, or vases need new bases. Pieces cut SMITH BROTHERS Good Cool and Everything to Build with. 2341 No. 48 Phone 6-2527 | from old hats make excellent bases. Use kitchen scissors to save time. Cut parsley, celery, pi miento and string beans with them. Use wet scissors for dic ing sticky foods such as chicken, dates and marshmallows. Wet shoes should never be placed against a radiator to dry. The leather will become hard and tend to crack. When pressing net or veils, place a piece of wax paper over the material to restore stiffness. When food is spilled on the heating element of an electric range, it should be allowed to char before brushing off. If peeling onions makes you weep, dip the onions for a mo ment into boiling water and be gin at the root and peel upward. If your soup is too salty, put in a few slices of raw potato and i boil for a few minutes. Put washing powder and a little ammonia into hot water to clean your oil mops.

The fact that we have so many citizens who profess democracy and yet who are not intelligently aware of the existence of many serious violations of civil rights in this country gives little prom ise for the continuation of that democracy.” This statement was made Wednesday night by Dr. John L. Knight of Nebraska Wesleyan university as he addressed the annual meeting of the Lincoln Urban League. Basing the content of his ad dress on the recent report of the President’s Committee on Civil Rights, Chancellor Knight out lined the findings of the report in regard to the violations of civil rights of minorities through vot ing procedures, employment practices, housing, health service, social discrimination, public ac commodations, and educational segregation. He stressed the point that the general public as sumes that such ideals of democ racy as justice before the law and equal opportunity are func tioning, while the actual facts in dicate otherwise. Quoting the report of the president’s commit tee: “We have surveyed the flaws in the national record and have found them to be serious.” The speaker placed some em phasis on the fact that our na tion’s capital is perhaps the one community which gives unde niable and dramatic illustration of our democratic shortcomings. Again he quoted from the com mittee report, declaring, “The District of Columbia should sym bolize to our own citizens and to the people of all countries our great traditions of civil liberty. Instead, it is a graphic illustra tion of a failure of democracy.” Chancellor Knight declared, however, that the existence of deplorable conditions should not make us unmindful of the many splendid advances which have been made under our democratic system or the possibility of rapid advance under its more complete realization. He developed three basic reasons which demand the immediate consideration of the problem of civil rights: national economy, international relations, and the moral requirements of democratic living. Under the first heading, the chancellor en larged on the thought th§t eco nomic discrimination is sheer waste in an era in which we should be achieving maximum production and proving our na tional competence. His interpre tation of the second heading was based on the committee’s state ment that, “the United States is not so strong, the final triumph rvuifTw 11 -n CbtdusL J'IWl MEADOW GOLD Means Just The Very Best Grade A Milk Ice Cream—Butter BEATRICE FOODS JO. CHANCELLOR KNIGHT —Courtesy of The Journal. of the democratic ideal is not so inevitable that we can ignore what the world thinks of us or our record.” That any nation must recog nize the requirements of moral law is inevitable and indisput able was the speaker’s challenge. In terms of the committee’s re port, he branded the shocking evidences of the denial of civil rights as “examples of moral erosion.” “These findings,” concluded Dr. Knight, “are indications of the condition of our common conscience and demand its eleva tion.” Young People 30,000,000 youth in America are outside the churches. Only three out of ten high school students are in the church. Only one or two out of ten boys and girls in Sunday School at age 12 remain when they reach age 21. **Be Kind to Your Clothes” PEERLESS CLEANERS 322 So. 11 Geo. H.
