Initially, the Fashion Fair was shown in a few key cities and was planned mainly for the purpose of featuring some of the loveliest Black models in creations by world-famous designers. However, the " elegance of the shows caught the interest of the fashionconscious public and its highly favorable reception prompted additional shows as interest and attendance increased. . As the audience began to fill Reynolds Auditorium, it became quite evident that this was indeed going to be a fashion extravaganza. Some set the stage? for what was billed as the "Big Whirl of i Fashions", by dressine in their wraps and gowns one man even sported a "smoking jacket." ?? ? However, when the music by began and Ebony Fashion commentator Miss Audrey Smaltz, took the stage, it became obvious that the great distance in comparison of the models on stage to the wardrobe of the audience was that of a beautiful thoroughbred Afghan hound to a slovenly poor mutt with the manges. It was hard to say which drew the most "oh's" and "ah's" The string swimsuits, the male models in swash buckling capes or the announced price of the $6,000.00 for a single dress from Paris. Outfits were divided into acts and scenes, including "The Big Swirl," 'The Sport Report," "ActionPacked," "Easy-Living," "Strings and Little Things," "The Big Winners," "The Soft Touch." "-Flowing Eleto. gance" and "The Luxury of Love." While the eyes were on the Figures and the figures belonged to the models, the models wore the garments and the show was on the stage, many people did not neglect the significance of local participation in the Ebony Fashion Fait. The contest was a competition of eleven girls who sought to raise the greatest amount of money through the sale of tickets and subscriptions to Fv ny magazine. * "u ." , '' >./ ' ' ' viC sign in recent fashion show.' >NY from Page 1 Because of its responsible and. quality sponsorship by these organizations, Ebony Fashion Fair attracts some of the nations most substantial cities.

ELECTION Continued from Page 1 Many people surveyed, .about 42 per cent, said that the voting system is too complicated for them to understand.

"They don't care aboutTus anyway," said one of them. *^We?are -not?expecting? them (the politicians) to come to see us everyday. 1 know that they have to go where they can get the most votes.

And some feel that thoir ? .'V W? ? ?? *?? > wvo are not important and that it made no different whether they vote or not. "I don't care. I don't vote," said a young man. "1 am a registered Democrat but I will not be voting this time." If the election-is held today,? accordino tn nnr ? - ^ *w WMI i mmnnj ; there will probably be 40 per cent turn out on the whole. Among blacks, there will be slightly over 33 per cent turn out and among whites about 45 per cent turn out. On the overall 40 percent turn out, the Democrats will probably get about 85. percent black vote and the Republicans 15 percent. The white vote is 54 percent Democrat and 46 per cent Republican. On the local level, the picture is different. Many people will probably be voting the way they have always voted. There will probably be no big surprises. The big fact in this election will probably be the undecided. Over 33 percent of the people we surveyed said that they will not make up their minds as to how to vote until two days to the election time. What happens now and the election day will probably have a lot of impact on the election. Discrimination Continued from Page In another letter to Mr. Jones.
