Friends Sen'ice Committee.
In an optimi.stic vein the au

by the University of Oklahoma
Press, said. "We believe that a
moment of decision has now come
for each of us and for the nation.
America can be the America of |
our hopes. But a world in revolu
tion cannot wait. The American
dream must become a reality, and
rapidly.”
The report was prepared by a
special "working parly" assembled
by the American Friends Service
Committee. It was asked to
“study where we a* a people stand
in the matter of racc relations, to
inquire where we ought to be, and
to propose methods of bridging the
gap."
The study warns of seven areas
of unfinished business in Ameri
ca’s race relations which mus‘ be
dealt with before the United States
can be in fact, "a land of equal
opportunity.” These inchiije public
school desegregation, employment,
housing, public accommodations,
political participation, religion, |
discrimination in religious institu
tions, and civil rights.
In an aRirmation of faith the
authors say that all men have
worth and dignity and hence “no

There’s a little madness
in all of us at summertime.
But it is a delightful kind of
madness that te-establishes
us as individual personalities.
It’s nice to shake the shackles
of conformity, if only for a
short time.

objected to them.* But today
there is oo woman who does
not have some kind of pants
in her summer wardrobe. They
have a choice of plain long
pants, toresdors, culottes,
Bermudas, Jamaicas, short
shorts, clam diggers and
pedal pushers.
The tapered pants and
chopped off blouse pictured
here (McCaU’s Printed Pattern
No. 4903) are an eye-catching
bit of madness. Made here of
complementary patterns in
cocoa, orange, yellow and
white, they expose the mid*
riff and provide freedom of
motion, aa well as zing.
This special pattern comes
with pieces for four different
types of blouses, a skirt and
^orts. It could easily be the
basis for a complete vacation
wardrobe. Practically any
kind of cotton fabric could be
used, with endless pos
sibilities in color and tex
ture.
For the girl who has long
wanted to effect the oriental
air, summer is the time to ex
periment. This pattern (Mc
Call’s Printed Pattern No.
4911) is a miracle of ease.
It comes with only eight
pieces. Cut for junior and
misses sizes, it is one-
piece, lightly fitted by long
darts back and front. The
short kimono sleeves are cut
in one with the back and
front of the dress. Lower
sleeves may be added to make
three-quarter length sleeves.
Four buttons close the manda
rin color and vents are in
the side seams.
Here the dress is made of
lime green shantung. Other
suggested fabrics are linen,
polished cotton, honan, syn
thetic mixtures, velveteen,
faille, crepe and lightweight
wool. Its oriental flavor would
be enhanced if made in a rich
brocade.
