What's Afoot

Three of the most importantprinciples to keep in mindwhen planning a family roomare also among the most diffi-cult for many people to ob-serve: keep it simple; keep itsafe; keep it sensible in cost.

The essence of simplicity isopen space, and this is some-thing to strive for. Thus, betterthan partitions or room divid-ers in a game room, is a floorof different colors that dividesthe room without creating ob-stacles in it.

Safety is enhanced by usingfurniture with wrought ironlegs if the piece is to be near afireplace ... by avoiding ex-posed glass near high activityareas (hence the vinyl coveredwood doors near the ping |>ongtable) . . . and by leaving aspace between people movingabout and those who are justrelaxing.

To keep costs down, makecreative use of modestly pricedmaterials. The two seats are

made of old ox cart luilw: kegsof nails also serve well. Thedecorative dart Ixtard is madeof plain wood; you can makeone easily with spray paint,masking tape, and the plasticnumbers hardware stores sellfor house markers.

Must ConstructHousing Unit inWhite Section

LANSING, Mlch.-TTito dtyhas been ordered to build alow-income housing develop-ment in a white single- bmilyresidential section.

Judge Noel Fox of the U. S.

District Court acted in response

to an action brought by Ne-groes and Mexican-Americansthrough attorneys of the

NAACP Legal Defense and

Educational Fund (LDF) Inc.

this week.LDF attorney Michael

Davidson of New York Cityhandled the case with Paul

Rosen and William Goodman

of Detroit.The Court also enjoined a

referendum, which had beeninitiated 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 beingdelayed (by highways and in-dustrial expansion), neithershould these plans for substi-

tute housing be delayed.""This decision," said LDF

Director-Counsel Jack Green-

berg, "provides a practical op-

portunity for Negroes andMexican-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, particularlyin nothem suburbs and cityfringe areas.

"NAACP Legal Defense and

Educational Fund, Inc. attor-neys now have a tool to fightsuch devices as zoning, which

segregates neighborhoods byincome thereby limiting entry

of Negroes, Puerto Ricans,Mexican-Americans and otherminorities," he said.

This litigation is part of anLDF program to halt the moresophisticated 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 ofpoverty and race.

Hie Court added that 75%

of the housing in the ghetto issubstandard; 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.
