THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, DEC. 7, M6B What's Afoot Three of the most important principles to keep in mind when planning a family room are also among the most diffi- cult for many people to ob- serve: keep it simple; keep it safe; keep it sensible in cost. The essence of simplicity is open space, and this is some- thing to strive for. Thus, better than partitions or room divid- ers in a game room, is a floor of different colors that divides the room without creating ob- stacles in it. Safety is enhanced by using furniture with wrought iron legs if the piece is to be near a fireplace ... by avoiding ex- posed glass near high activity areas (hence the vinyl covered wood doors near the ping |>ong table) . . . and by leaving a space between people moving about and those who are just relaxing. To keep costs down, make creative use of modestly priced materials. The two seats are made of old ox cart luilw: kegs of nails also serve well. The decorative dart Ixtard is made of plain wood; you can make one easily with spray paint, masking tape, and the plastic numbers hardware stores sell for house markers. All the tiles I chose for the floor above. Kentile's handsome Beaushard pattern in vinyl asbestos, cost well under SIOO if one does one's own installation, and this well developed chip design, em- phasizing larger elements in a subdued background, is not re- stricted to any particular type of decor or period.

SUCCESSFUL SEWMANSHIP New Fabrics-to-Sew Inspire Holiday Fashions, Decorations & Gifts WELCOME BACK to tradi- tional red and green for the hoiidays! And greetings to a new line of Christmas fabrics that are so good looking they can be used for fashions as well as decorations and gifts. Attractive holiday prints on a quality fabric are hard to find, all the more reason to rejoice over this new line Now available at many Singer Centers are four new red, green and white Christmas prints, plus coordinating solids. The fabric is 65 % Dacron poly- ester and 35% combed cotton. equally handsome in year- round draperies or slipcovers Definitely Christmas y are stylized green holly wreaths on a red background with white stripings, shown here in a hol- iday table cloth. Extra pieces of the stripings are cut out and glued to plastic napkin rings, dime-store glass candle hold- ers. and a styrofoam center- piece base. Also strictly for the holidays is an all-over red and green poinsettia pattern on a .white ground, not shown. Price ol the prints is 52.49 a yard, the solids, perfectly coordinated in red. green and white, are 51.98. Celebrate Christmas by stitching something a little dif- ferent: hostess pajamas of the partridge print; a rajah coat in the scroll pattern, decorated witfiTed or"g'reenßYald; or~cTTo- the-floor skirt in the poinsettia print, with a green shirt and red sash.

Singer ex perts recommend using 50 mer cerized thread, size 12 or 14 sewing machine needle, and 10 to 12 stitches per inch, with bal- anced top and bobbin tensions. Trimmings should be pre shrunk before they are stitched to the fabric: hems and seams can be steam-pressed at me dium-high setting. Scraps of these Christmas prints, leftover from sewing projects, find many additional uses. When cut with sharp scis- sors, the fabric firmly woven won't ravel or fray. Using a white fabric adhesive, like Elmer's Glue-All, paste a piece of the print toheavy white paper and cut out gift tags or note paper; cover match boxes or match books with it; or glue it to cardboard circles to make glasses' coasters.

Only one- and-two-thirds yards will make a seamless 60-inch square or circular table cloth, and an extra yard makes half a dozen 17-inch square napkins.

One, perky green par- tridges outlined with red leaves caid green flowers on a white background, is shown in a little girl's dirndl skirt and'bolero ensemble that can go from the holidays right through spring and into summer; the other, a red and green scroll design, is Fldo's'^oat).

Judge Noel Fox of the U. S. District Court acted in response to an action brought by Ne- groes and Mexican-Americans through attorneys of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund (LDF) Inc. this week. LDF attorney Michael Davidson of New York City handled the case with Paul Rosen and William Goodman of Detroit. The Court also enjoined a referendum, which had been initiated by white residents of the area of the proposed low- income project, to repeal zoning variances required by the developer of the project. Judge Fox ruled that "since the displacement of these low- income citizens is not being delayed (by highways and in- dustrial expansion), neither should these plans for substi- tute housing be delayed." "This decision," said LDF Director-Counsel Jack Green- berg, "provides a practical op- portunity for Negroes and Mexican-Americans to find housing outside their ghetto 6. It is the first ruling of its kind. "The Court's order strikes at sophisticated devices of housing discrimination found across the country, particularly in nothem suburbs and city fringe areas. "NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. attor- neys now have a tool to fight such devices as zoning, which segregates neighborhoods by income thereby limiting entry of Negroes, Puerto Ricans, Mexican-Americans and other minorities," he said. This litigation is part of an LDF program to halt the more sophisticated expressions of housing discrimination in ,t£e -North. ' 1 »*," \\\ The Court found that Ne- groes and Mexican-Americans are locked into a ghetto in Lansing by a combination of poverty and race. Hie Court added that 75% of the housing in the ghetto is substandard; the incidence of disease is higher, the level of necessary municipal services is lower than in the rest of the city and schools are segregated.
