Another Resolution Comes Forth
The National Education Association at its annual meeting
In New York city, was not without that national pride, in no uncertain 
terms declaring themselves against, segregation in the
schools.
At one of its sessions, the committee on Resolutions, brought
out an instrument with teeth, declaring the Association's position
in this grave matter, that is causing so much concern over the
land.
With a negligible dissent, the Resolution was overwhelmingly
carried, and now the nation has gone on record in the educational
arena, as against any subterfuge that might be implemented to
circumvent the order of the court.
It is of general interest that the National president is a
Veteran educator from the city of Savannah, Georgia. A powerful
influence in educational circles, he will be able to wage great
power in the defeat of an amendment pending, providing for the
scuttling of the public school system in his native state.
The teachers-of Georgia have been appealed to on many
occasions to do their bit in defeating this scheme. Both Educational 
Associations in the state have gone on record as opposing this
amendment.
With so many important organizations opposing and pointing 
out the grave danger in the type of circumvention as held out
by most of the candidates for governor, it would appear that we
have enough voters on the side of law and order to answer back,
comes the fall election.

Sane Holidays
By the time this will have been printed, there will be homes
bereft of loved ones; needless limb and property damage and the
ugly picture of a free people unable to enjoy the celebration of
one of our most important holidays, in a sane and orderly way.
Time and again the newspapers have appealed to the public
to celebrate our holidays in a more profitable and constructive
manner. Some have gone so far as to enumerate, in an appraisal
the contrast whether the celebrations, as we stage them, are
worth what they cost.
We must have these days for the sake of their sentiment and
the fervor attendant, in extolling through them the grand principles 
they carry on.
We have with us in our celebrations, that same lawless
element, with disregard for life and property we have in normal
procedure of life. For that matter, in their careless maneuvers
and wrecklessness at the wheel, they pile up, casualties every
week end. Surely people who will not regard the lives and property 
of others on a week-end, will not be so cautious in the wild
hilarity of a national holiday.
In our educating the age of the great days we celebrate
and what they stand for, we might bend more energy toward the
education of those who make our holidays meaningless in their
drunken antics in writing off the gains, in tragedy and shame.
Traffic violators, with the coming of gasoline machines, are
the ones playing havoc with the celebration of our holidays.
Until something is done here, we might as well look forward
to holiday seasons, taking more in toll than they are really worth.

The Draft Dewey Movement At Albany
With the coming on of the New York State Republican convention, 
scheduled in September, there is a growing demand in
Republican circles for a draft Dewey movement.
While Governor Dewey stands firm upon his avowed position
that he will not run for a fourth term as New York's executive,
there is a quiet movement going the rounds to the effect that
Dewey, four years ago made a like decision, but agreed to run.
It is claimed that there is not sufficient, in which to build up a
strong candidate and the only available man in so short a time,
would be Senator Ives.
Senator, Ives has stated that he is not interested in seeking
the, Governorship. That will leave matters where they were four
years ago and Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, it is stated, has not recovered 
from the sting of the presidential bee, whereupon he failed
to win the election of 1944 and 48.
With so much talk in the air regarding the coming down of
President Eisenhower in 1956, Dewey may be biding his time
in the governorship in order to gain sufficient steam to again
make a try for the presidency. In the important place of the governorship, 
Dewey would be in a more enviable position to build
up his fortifications for the nomination. While he has made two
trys at the presidency, with the powerful influence he wielded
in obtaining the nomination for Mr. Eisenhower, he may be able
to land the nomination and subsequently the presidency.

NAACP Convention

of those who huff and puff with

Of the recent Supreme court
decisions banning segregation in
public schools, White said:
"We of the NAACP are determined 
to prove to the entire world,
that the Court's decisions mean
precisely what they say and will
be implemented to the hilt."
A list of general resolutions and
selecting Atlantic City for next
year's meeting place were items of
the last meeting.
High on the list of resolutions,
was the Association's, future labor
plans reaffirming their support of
Democratic trade unionism, the
principle, of collective bargaining
and a vigorous program of fight
ing for Negro job opportunities.
Specifically, the NAAC will stepup 
its efforts in support of securing 
apprenticeship and other training 
facilities for Negroes; an increase 
in the Federal Minimum
Wage Law to $1.25 an hour and
inclusion of workers not now included; 
an increase in unemployment 
and old age benefits and an
amendment to the Taft-Hartley
Law to make racial discrimination
an unfair labor practice.
Another plan presented calls for
a press of admission, of Negroes into 
joint labor-management training
programs. In the South steppedup 
efforts in printing and building
trades unions will be made.
Resolutions approved involving
the NAACP's stand on international 
and colonial affairs called on
the government to press for prompt
action by the United Nations on
the complaints which have been
brought against the Union on
South Africa on behalf of Africans
and Hindus.
In Kenya, the NAACP resolved,
while it is not in accord with the
extreme methods of the Mau Mau,
it condemns the terrorist methods
used against the Mau Mau and
others who fight to abolish colonialism 
and racism.
The convention condemned the

tactics of delay which the 83rd
Congress has used to prevent the
admission of Alaska and Hawaii
to statehood and favors their admissions 

It resolved all its units will work
unceasingly toward achieving the
goal of full integration in the public 
schools by Septembar 1955 as
outlined ill its education program.
The NAACP set its target for
1953 for the complete elimination
of all visible signs of second-class
citizenship under which, it says,
Negro Americans suffer.

of the Senate proposal in

The Doctor Disagrees
By Elizabeth Seifert
Copyright. 1953, by 
distributed by King Features Syndicate
"SINCE she, is present," Dr.
Bowser said, smiling upon Shelly,
"I'll ask the originator of the idea
to set it before the Society. Mrs.
Carr-" He had to rap for order
because the doctors were still buzzing 
to each other about lay interference 
in medical matters being
a bad precedent to get established.
First thing they knew, all their
meetings...
But Shelly, elegant in her black
touched with glitter, lovely, young,
was nothing to object to; the men
might be a little wary of her presence 
in principle; they all gallantly
admired her in particular.
"I didn't come to make a
speech." she said in her soft,
pretty voice, coming to take her
stand before the table. And I'm
sure I don't need to make one. I've
talked to most of you individually
about the town's need for a night
medical call service; I understand
it should have the endorsement of
your Society, and I do ask for
that."
Briefly, to those who knew about
it, and to those who did not-Mr.
Prewett. Magistrate Cornfeid, Dr.
Lewis-and Craig Talboy-she ex.
plained net idea, her readiness to
supply the necessary telephone as
an exchange; she spoke modestly,
clearly. It was an efficient scheme
efficiently thought out, but hardly
a man in the room recognized that
feature. Craig Talboy did, however; 
his narrowed eyes, and the
little smile about his lips, acknowledged 
his belated recognition
of Shelly's efficiency. Tonight she
was expensively dressed, beautifully 
groomed, her blue eyes as wide
as those of the doll be had called
her, her voice as soft as the brush
of feathers across one's cheek, but
that same voice spoke thoughtfully
of her intelligently developed plan.
Well, doggone! thought Craig Talboy. 
Kick him, someone, for a
complete fool!
"Well, now," said the irrepressible 
Cornfeld, "I call that a very
good idea! If you doctors had had
a service like that a month ago
Talboy there wouldn't a got his
bead cracked open."
"I thought of that," said Shelly
softly.
There was a little more talk, but
the meeting seemed happy to have
this thing which they could endorse. 
The doctors all signed up,
including Dr. Lewis, and Shelly
said their schedule or nights on
duty would, be sent to them by
the first of the next week. Doctors
not able to serve their designated
time must give Mrs. Vandable
twenty-four hours' notice.
"What if one of us gets drunk?"
asked someone.
"You'd better be able to prove
it," said someone else.
And the meeting broke up in
laughter. Craig Talboy left without 
talking to anyone.
The elder Carrs bad been out of
town for a week or so, but the
next morning Everett phoned to
Shelly and asked her if she could
stop in at his office during the
day. She said, yes, she'd come
about nine. And how had the trip
been? She told what she had last
heard from Stephen and hung up.
"Wonder what he wants?" she
mused, returning to her breakfast. 

"I'll bet you're due to find, out,"
said Myra.
Shelly, of course, did find out
what her father-in-law wanted. He
presented her with a delicate shell
necklace bought for her in Miami,
and said he liked her in blue, then
he got right to the point. He is
glad to know that Craig Talboys
matter with the Medical Society
had Deen cleared away. In short,
he was glad not to have to fire
him as plant doctor
"I'm glad, too, Father Carr. He's
a very good doctor."
"Yes, seems to be." He eyed
her shrewdly. "You still working
in that office?"
"Yes. I rather like it."
"Don't know that Stevie would
-but maybe it's not a bad thing
for a time. I mean, you can keep
your eye on the man, and try to
straighten him out when be gets
off course."
Shelly stiffened. "I don't think
he'd accept much advice from me."
"I don't think he'd accept it
from anybody. Independent chap.
But maybe-oh, you know the
town better than be does. Try to
keep him from insulting the wrong
people, Shelly!"
"His manners are perfect."
"Yes," agreed Everett, dryly
"Especially when he's saying
something nasty."
She looked distressed. "He knows
his job..." she tried to offer as
argument.
"I think he does, too," Everett
agreed. "That's why I hope you
can help aim get a little better
adjusted to the townsfolk and to
the plant men." He leaned toward
her. "Try to get him straightened
out, Shelly, and try to keep him
that way."
She smiled and stood up. I
think I can promise you to do
that," she said confidently.
The days, went by, and the
Weeks. Stephen's letters came in
bunches, with long stretches in
between when Shelly did not hear
at all. She scarcely realized that
her work at the office was helping
her not to worry too much about
Stephen, not to miss him too much.
Her days were full; she came home
to a cheerful house, to Myra's sensible 
and picturesque chatter, to
Ike's bulk and strength. Agnes
and Myra between them ran the
house perfectly; Shelly could again
give her Sundays to the Everett
Carrs, when they were in town,
without resenting the obligation.
Her position bad changed somewhat 
in the family. She knew it
without the ability to tell just
how that change was evident.
Largely, she thought, it was in
her own attitude toward Stephen s
family.
She had never deserve, their
criticism of Stephen's choice in
wives. She bad offered no argument, 
but had resented their disapproval. 
Now that feeling had
somewhat dissolved-for Shelly.
The Carr women-May Anna,
Ruth and Kate-still could and did
carry on their complicated social
life of club meetings, church affairs, 
card parties, teas and wed
ding 
receptions, calls paid and repaid, 
but Shelly no longer realized
their failure to include Slephen's
wife in their plans. She had used
to say she did not care when she
was not invited. Now she really
did not care. And when, as sometimes 
happened, she was invited to
an important function, she was
able to refuse graciously, without
hurting anyone, and without involving 
herself in anything which
might interfere with net work.
These spring days, her whole
life was more pleasant. Sometimes
she gave thought to the changewhen 
she had time. She was busy
-that was the big help. She kept
regular hours at the office and
managed things there with an increasingly 
sure touch. Sometimes
she wondered why Craig let her
make so many decisions, and
carry them out-but he did let
her, and that was all right so long
as her schemes were effective.
The night call service was going 
full blast with the expected
few hitches-sometimes from the
doctors, themselves. Dr. Appleman, 
for one, was not always
available on his duty nights. More
often, trouble came from the patients. 

Myra had a firm hand with
these recalcitrant folk. Shelly liked
to watch the girl take a call; the
slim young woman with her
creamy skin and lustrous eyes, her
rich voice and even richer speech,
could talk to almost anyone with
confidence and reassurance. Even
to Miss Poller-Miss. Pearl-on
the night when she called in agitation 
because Roxie was sick and
she didn't know which way to
turn; she couldn't raise Dr.
Lewis.
Myra promised to send a doctor.
Miss Pearl's voice came over the
wire as tense as the high notes of
an uncertain soprano.
And Myra's rich calmness replied. 
"I'll send one of the men
on call. He'll help you through this
emergency, Miss Pearl. Tomorrow
you can have your own Dr. Lewis."
She set the phone down for a
minute.
"Which one she feudin' with
now?" asked Ike.
Myra looked up from the record
sheet "Dr. Snow..."
"Is he on call?" asked Shelly.
"No, ma'am. It's Dr. Talboy's
turn to be called. I'd like it to be
Snow, I'll admit. My nature bein'
as low as it is. But on the other
hand. I'd like to be aroun' whin
Dr. Talboy gits in that house."
"Why?" asked Shelly.
"If Miss Roxie needs a doctor
in a hurry, it's probably because
she wants a shot for what she
calls her heads."
"You mean..."
" I don't mean anything," said
Myra firmly. "Miss Roxie gits
what she calls heads, and Dr.
Lewis he usually gives her somethin 
to relieve them. Miss Pearl
fusses cause he wants five dollars,
cash on the barrel head-"
"But tonight she's fussing because 
she can't get Dr. Lewis."
"Yes'm. Miss Pearl, she'll fuss
about most anything. Please wait
till I make this call.. "
Craig answered and said, be
would go.

in medical matters being
a bad precedent to get established.
First thing they knew, all their
meetings...
But Shelly, elegant in her black
touched with glitter, lovely, young,
was nothing to object to; the men
might be a little wary of her presence 
in principle; they all gallantly
admired her in particular.
"I didn't come to make a
speech." she said in her soft,
pretty voice, coming to take her
stand before the table. And I'm
sure I don't need to make one. I've
talked to most of you individually
about the town's need for a night
medical call service; I understand
it should have the endorsement of
your Society, and I do ask for
that."
Briefly, to those who knew about
it, and to those who did not-Mr.
Prewett. Magistrate Cornfeid, Dr.
Lewis-and Craig Talboy-she ex.
plained net idea, her readiness to
supply the necessary telephone as
an exchange; she spoke modestly,
clearly. It was an efficient scheme
efficiently thought out, but hardly
a man in the room recognized that
feature. Craig Talboy did, however; 
his narrowed eyes, and the
little smile about his lips, acknowledged 
his belated recognition
of Shelly's efficiency. Tonight she
was expensively dressed, beautifully 
groomed, her blue eyes as wide
as those of the doll be had called
her, her voice as soft as the brush
of feathers across one's cheek, but
that same voice spoke thoughtfully
of her intelligently developed plan.
Well, doggone! thought Craig Talboy. 
Kick him, someone, for a
complete fool!
"Well, now," said the irrepressible 
Cornfeld, "I call that a very
good idea! If you doctors had had
a service like that a month ago
Talboy there wouldn't a got his
bead cracked open."
"I thought of that," said Shelly
softly.
There was a little more talk, but
the meeting seemed happy to have
this thing which they could endorse. 
The doctors all signed up,
including Dr. Lewis, and Shelly
said their schedule or nights on
duty would, be sent to them by
the first of the next week. Doctors
not able to serve their designated
time must give Mrs. Vandable
twenty-four hours' notice.
"What if one of us gets drunk?"
asked someone.
"You'd better be able to prove
it," said someone else.
And the meeting broke up in
laughter. Craig Talboy left without 
talking to anyone.
The elder Carrs bad been out of
town for a week or so, but the
next morning Everett phoned to
Shelly and asked her if she could
stop in at his office during the
day. She said, yes, she'd come
about nine. And how had the trip
been? She told what she had last
heard from Stephen and hung up.
"Wonder what he wants?" she
mused, returning to her breakfast. 

"I'll bet you're due to find, out,"
said Myra.
Shelly, of course, did find out
what her father-in-law wanted. He
presented her with a delicate shell
necklace bought for her in Miami,
and said he liked her in blue, then
he got right to the point. He is
glad to know that Craig Talboys
matter with the Medical Society
had Deen cleared away. In short,
he was glad not to have to fire
him as plant doctor
"I'm glad, too, Father Carr. He's
a very good doctor."
"Yes, seems to be." He eyed
her shrewdly. "You still working
in that office?"
"Yes. I rather like it."
"Don't know that Stevie would
-but maybe it's not a bad thing
for a time. I mean, you can keep
your eye on the man, and try to
straighten him out when be gets
off course."
Shelly stiffened. "I don't think
he'd accept much advice from me."
"I don't think he'd accept it
from anybody. Independent chap.
But maybe-oh, you know the
town better than be does. Try to
keep him from insulting the wrong
people, Shelly!"
"His manners are perfect."
"Yes," agreed Everett, dryly
"Especially when he's saying
something nasty."
She looked distressed. "He knows
his job..." she tried to offer as
argument.
"I think he does, too," Everett
agreed. "That's why I hope you
can help aim get a little better
adjusted to the townsfolk and to
the plant men." He leaned toward
her. "Try to get him straightened
out, Shelly, and try to keep him
that way."
She smiled and stood up. I
think I can promise you to do
that," she said confidently.
The days, went by, and the
Weeks. Stephen's letters came in
bunches, with long stretches in
between when Shelly did not hear
at all. She scarcely realized that
her work at the office was helping
her not to worry too much about
Stephen, not to miss him too much.
Her days were full; she came home
to a cheerful house, to Myra's sensible 
and picturesque chatter, to
Ike's bulk and strength. Agnes
and Myra between them ran the
house perfectly; Shelly could again
give her Sundays to the Everett
Carrs, when they were in town,
without resenting the obligation.
Her position bad changed somewhat 
in the family. She knew it
without the ability to tell just
how that change was evident.
Largely, she thought, it was in
her own attitude toward Stephen s
family.
She had never deserve, their
criticism of Stephen's choice in
wives. She bad offered no argument, 
but had resented their disapproval. 
Now that feeling had
somewhat dissolved-for Shelly.
The Carr women-May Anna,
Ruth and Kate-still could and did
carry on their complicated social
life of club meetings, church affairs, 
card parties, teas and wed
ding 
receptions, calls paid and repaid, 
but Shelly no longer realized
their failure to include Slephen's
wife in their plans. She had used
to say she did not care when she
was not invited. Now she really
did not care. And when, as sometimes 
happened, she was invited to
an important function, she was
able to refuse graciously, without
hurting anyone, and without involving 
herself in anything which
might interfere with net work.
These spring days, her whole
life was more pleasant. Sometimes
she gave thought to the changewhen 
she had time. She was busy
-that was the big help. She kept
regular hours at the office and
managed things there with an increasingly 
sure touch. Sometimes
she wondered why Craig let her
make so many decisions, and
carry them out-but he did let
her, and that was all right so long
as her schemes were effective.
The night call service was going 
full blast with the expected
few hitches-sometimes from the
doctors, themselves. Dr. Appleman, 
for one, was not always
available on his duty nights. More
often, trouble came from the patients. 

Myra had a firm hand with
these recalcitrant folk. Shelly liked
to watch the girl take a call; the
slim young woman with her
creamy skin and lustrous eyes, her
rich voice and even richer speech,
could talk to almost anyone with
confidence and reassurance. Even
to Miss Poller-Miss. Pearl-on
the night when she called in agitation 
because Roxie was sick and
she didn't know which way to
turn; she couldn't raise Dr.
Lewis.
Myra promised to send a doctor.
Miss Pearl's voice came over the
wire as tense as the high notes of
an uncertain soprano.
And Myra's rich calmness replied. 
"I'll send one of the men
on call. He'll help you through this
emergency, Miss Pearl. Tomorrow
you can have your own Dr. Lewis."
She set the phone down for a
minute.
"Which one she feudin' with
now?" asked Ike.
Myra looked up from the record
sheet "Dr. Snow..."
"Is he on call?" asked Shelly.
"No, ma'am. It's Dr. Talboy's
turn to be called. I'd like it to be
Snow, I'll admit. My nature bein'
as low as it is. But on the other
hand. I'd like to be aroun' whin
Dr. Talboy gits in that house."
"Why?" asked Shelly.
"If Miss Roxie needs a doctor
in a hurry, it's probably because
she wants a shot for what she
calls her heads."
"You mean..."
" I don't mean anything," said
Myra firmly. "Miss Roxie gits
what she calls heads, and Dr.
Lewis he usually gives her somethin 
to relieve them. Miss Pearl
fusses cause he wants five dollars,
cash on the barrel head-"
"But tonight she's fussing because 
she can't get Dr. Lewis."
"Yes'm. Miss Pearl, she'll fuss
about most anything. Please wait
till I make this call.. "
Craig answered and said, be
would go.

Plans For

threatened to throw the District
Board members into court if they
continue with their "precipitous"
and "disastrous'' plans before the
Supreme Court hands down its final 
desegregation decrees.
A number of other civic groups
have endorsed the plans. The Parent-Teacher 
Association in town
has already invited Negroes to join
its ranks.
This is what the District Board
has decided to do in breaking down
segregation restrictions in September, 
1954:
1. Drop all race restrictions on
pupils entering District schools for
the first time and admit them to
the nearest schools-white or colored. 

2. Desegregate and probably
merge the night schools.
3. Admit a limited number of
colored pupils living in predominately 
white neighborhoods to near
by white school, in order to save
them from traveling long distances. 

4. Transfer approximately 2,700
children from crowded colored
schools to white schools.
When the school bells ring in the
capital city for re-opening on September 
13 segregation will, for the
most part, be a thing of the past
in the President's "pilot model" for
the rest of the nation.

La. Senate
OKs 3 Bills
On Schools
The Louisiana Senate Tuesday
passed three House approved measures 
designed to side-step the U.
S. Supreme Court's ban on segregation 
in public schools.
The Upper Chamber, by a vote
of 37 to 0, okayed a bill which
that students shall attend whatever 
school the Parish (county)
school superintendent designates,
The other two measures, which
passed by a vote of 35 to 2, provide 
that the state can use its inherent 
"police power" to continue
separate schools and enable the
legislature to call a special election
to change the state's constitution
with respect to education.
All three, bills passed with
amendments which stipulated that
the "police power" would apply only 
to public schools and not to
private and parochial schools
The amendments had been a
bitter bone of contention between
the Roman Catholic Church in
Louisiana and District Attorney
Leander Perez of Plaquemines and
St. Bernard Parishes (counties).
Perez, one time national States
'Rights director, charged that the
amendments "helped the conspiracy 
for total integration of the
races" and said that they were introduced 
at the instigation of
Msgr. H. C. Bezou, superintendent
of Catholic Schools in New Orleans. 

Bezou'denied Perez' charges and
said that the real issue is "whether
or not privately supported education 
is to be subjected to the tyranny 
of a police state."
He added that Perez' charges
since he regards himself as a
member of the Catholic Church."

course in the use of radioisotopes
in secondary schools science teach
ing 
at the Oak Ridge Institute of
Nuclear Studies.
Price and his classmates are
study methods of using radiosotopes, 
known as" "tracer atoms," in
classroom demonstrations and in
laboratory teaching, radioisotopes
are the by-products of the atomic
energy program.
The course, conducted by the
Sepcial Training Division of the
institute, is a two week course and
the first of its kind ever offered by
the institute.

HERE S HOW...
... MAKE A PORCH TABLE
For the summer; cabin or
porch, a handy piece of furniture 
is a fold-away table, easily
made with hammer, saw, and
screw driver.
A table top, 48 by 30 ½
inches, is made of three pieces
of lumber: one piece 11 ½
inches wide, and two each 9 ½
inches wide. These are created
together on the under side with
two 1 by 3-inch pieces, 20
inches long.
The legs 1 by 8 by 29 ½
inches are hinged to the table,
1 inch from the outer edge

With card-table type locking
hinges.
A Wall fastening is made of
a piece of 2 by 4 forming a
38-inch rail. The rail is supported 
on two pieces if 2 by 4.
each 10 inches long and tapered
at the lower ends.
The table top is then hinged,
with butt hinges, to the wall
fastening as shown.
When the legs are folded
bark and the table dropped
along the wall, they will clear
the edge of the wall fastening,
as will also the short 20-lnch
cleats.
Wall Fostering
Under Side of Table

Make a Porch Table-A handy
piece of furniture for the summer
cabin or porch is a fold away table.
It may be used for children's play,
for semi-outdoor meals, or a work
table for the housewife.
The table is easily constructed

with hammer, saw, and screw driver. 
The lop measures 48 by 30 1-2
inches and is made of three boards:
a piece 11 1-2 inches wide, and two
9 1-2 inches wide, each 30 1-2 inches
long. The boards are cleated together 
on the underside by two I
by 3 inch cleats, each 20 inches
long.
Two legs, each 1 by 3 by 29 1-2
inches long are hinged to the bottorn 
of the table, l inch from the
outer edge, using card;, table type,
locking hinges. For a rough and
ready job, the legs may be hinger,
with butt hinges, instead of lock
hinges. If butt hinges are used,
however, it will be necessary to use
small locking devices, such as screen
hooks, to hold the legs in position.
On the wall, a hanger or fastening
is made, using a piece of 2 by 4 inch
lumber, 38 inches long, for a rail.
This is supported on a pair of 2 by
4 blocks, 10 inches long, tapered
at the bottom so as not to bump
the knees of persons using the table. 
The upper edge of the rail
should be 29 1-2 inches from the
floor.
The table-top is hinged to the
wall fastening with butt hinges as
shown in the drawing.
Using the same principles of construction, 
the home craftsman may
make an attractive piece of indoor
furniture by making a glued-up or
hardwood plywood top, carving the
legs and giving the completed job
a fine finish.
When the legs are folded back
and the table dropped along the
wall, they will clear the edge of
the wall fastening. The cleats, like
wise, being just 20 inches long will
fit under the wall fastening. When
folded away the table occupies a
depth of only three inches.
