What ever the length, bright, solid colors are in and applied dimensional texture is out; the pattern, if any, is now being knit right into the fabric...
Through most of last year, with Negro voting strength nearly double what it had been in the previous election, white officials exercised remarkable restraint in dealing with Negroes. Even Gov.
