- READ THE OMAHA GUIDE - Political Status Is A Problem Until white Southerners grant full political status to Negroes, no workable solution to the school j segregation issue is possible, says the January issue of Harper’s Mag- \ azine. The Harper's editorial comment accompanies publication of an article titled* “The Southern Case Against Desegregation” by Thomas R. Waring, editor of the Charleston (S.C.) News and Courier. The Harper’s editors say in a headnote to Mr. Waring’s piece that his point of view is “far re moved" from theirs, but that they feel it should be published. In its editorial comment, the publication says that seldom are Southern whites “willing to grant that millions of Americans see racial justice as a moral issue— springing from the Christian doc- < trine that every man is equal be- ] fore God—and that it has been a moral issue ever since the days ' of Thoreau and Emerson. They, forget that, at bottom, this was what the Civil War was all about.” j Harper's also comments that every improvement in the status of the Negro as a citizen has re sulted from “outside pressure” on the white Southerner and that at every step he his shouted “too j fast.” That pressure will continue,! the magazine says, until the white( Southerner begins “to move under his own steam to solve his own racial problems—in a manner ac ceptable to both races.” The magazine says it is publish ing Waring’s article for the follow ing four reasons: 1. The Nation should under stand the state of mind Mr. Waring reflects. 2. “So far there has been al most no rational discussion be-: tween the men of good will on each side of the issue. Until such j a dialogue can be started the j angry men will dominate the! field.” 3. Other points of view have been presented in Harper’s. 4. One of the duties of an in dependent magazine, allied to no party or interest group, is to give a hearing to significant bodies of opinion which cannot find express ion elsewhere—even when the editors disagree.

(Associated legro Press) iif&SMBilSi • ../I \m> Christir.as Figures AT CHRISTMAS time each year, thousands of families like to dress up their home ex- ; teriors and interiors with yule tide figures, like the Santa Claus and reindeer shown in the illustration. Because Masonite Tempered Presdwood is weather-resistant and can be used year after year, more and more craftsmen are fashioning their Christmas fig ures of this material. Available at most lumber yards, it should be obtained in either 3/16" or 14" thickness. This splinter-free material takes a beautiful finish of paint or enamel, or ready painted paper cutouts may be applied with waterproof glue. A selection of gay patterns, including the one shown, may be obtained free by writing the Home Service Bureau, Suite 2037, 111 West Washington St., Chicago 2, 111., and requesting the folder of Christmas plans. Directions for using them are included. Add Space, Save Work Jf HE chooses materials care fully, the man of the house who converts wasted attic space into an extra room can save himself work both at the time of installation and in the future. Using Marlite planks and blocks, which have tongue-and groove edges, walls and ceilings' I 1. 1 ■' 1 1 A'" 1 ..1 l ■ II can be covered in short order. ] The paneling can be applied ; over furring strips or a continu- | ous base like plasterboard. Since this paneling, made of Tempered Presdwood, is already decorated with plain colors or wood grain patterns, no paint ing or finishing is necessary. What’s more, its baked plastic finish not only resists soil and wear but needs no decorating later. For design interest, an end wall may be covered with blocks to match planks on sidewalls, and planks of a different color used on the sloping ceiling. Keep Drawer Knobs Tight TTSE of a lock washer can keep a knob screw on a drawer from turning, according to Popu lar Mechanics. The special washer should be placed between a flat washer and the head of the screw. If it is located against a wooden LOCK WiUn /TJ surface, it will sink into the wood and lose its locking ability. The same principle can be applied to koup wooden knobs-tight on the lids of pots and pans. ----.

Tomato aspic continues among the masculine favorites because of its clear and direct tomato tang. This salad is a natural too with such menu leaders as steak and potatoes. See recipe below Tomato aspic rates as a classic of gel-cookery, and the simple formula only calls for combining tomato juice, unflavored gelatine and seasoning. The plain gelatine, softened in cold juice and then thoroughly dissolved in hot tomato juice, introduces no flavor of its own. Its magic property is to gel the tomato juice at refrigerator temperature. T hen at taste-time, each bite is firmly cool yet melting to create a very special appetite appeal. To unmold, quickly dip the salad mold to its depth in hot water; loosen around edge of container with tip of knife; hold serving plate over mold; invert, and salad will slip onto the plate.
