Records As President White House Central Files, 1953-61 LE DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS Dwight D. Eisenhower: Records as President White House Central Files, 1953-61 LEGAL SIZED CASE FILES Pre-accession and A86-15 Processed by: TB Date Completed: November 1989 Linear feet of shelf space occupied: 55.2 Approximate number of pages: 102,800 These records were reviewed under provisions of the instrument of gift of Dwight D. Eisenhower signed April 13, 1960. Under terms of the instrument of gift the following classes of documents are withheld from research use: 1. Papers that are security-classified until such classification shall be removed. 2. Papers the use of which may be prejudicial to the maintenance of good relations with foreign nations. 3. Papers containing statements made in confidence unless the reason for confidentiality no longer exists. 4. Papers relating to family or private affairs. 5. Papers containing statements which might be used to injure, harass, or damage any living person. Scope and Content Note This series of the White House Central Files consists primarily of oversized attachments to correspondence that is filed in other series of the Central Files. Most of the Central Files were stored in cabinets designed to hold letter-sized (8 ½ x 11) documents. In many cases, however, the correspondence received in the Central Files was accompanied by oversized or multiple copies of attachments. If the attachments were too bulky or numerous to retain with the correspondence, the case file would be divided. The original correspondence was filed in the main files after it was annotated to show the attachments had been removed. The attachments were placed in the Legal Size Case with a cross reference sheet to show the location of the original correspondence. Material in the Legal Size Case was filed in chronological order by the date of the latest correspondence. If the correspondence was undated, or if there was no accompanying correspondence, the material would be filed by the date on which it was received in the Central Files. Due to the chronological arrangement it is very difficult to locate material on specific subjects. Access to material in the Legal Size Case should be gained by searching the correspondence in the OF, GF and PPF series of the Central Files. These will bear annotations which will refer researchers to related documents in the Legal Size Case. The annotations are usually in the form of a handwritten note at the bottom of the first page of a case file which reads “Oversized Attachments filed Legal Size Case.” The Legal Size Case also contains several files of original correspondence. Members of the White House staff frequently sent folders of correspondence to the Central Files for storage. In most cases the documents were removed from the folders and filed in the main files. However, if the staff member requested that the documents be kept together, the folder would sometimes be file in the Legal Size Case, particularly if it was a large folder. Several such folders were found in the course of processing this series. They are listed below to facilitate their retrieval. 1955 May 3 (Box 44) Files from office of Gabriel Hauge on wool tariff matters and US- Australian relations. 1958 Jan. 14 (Boxes 87-88) File from office of Robert Schulz on the Quetico-Superior Wilderness area, 1953-56. Subsequent correspondence on this subject was filed in OF 133-A-1. 1959 Oct. 8 (Boxes 104-105) File from office of Wilton Persons containing his records of Presidential meetings with legislative leaders and meetings of the Legislative Council, 1953-57. These documents are mostly duplicate copies of material in the Legislative Meetings series of the Ann Whitman File. 1959 Oct. 27 (Boxes 108-109) File from office of Jack Z.

  • The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
    The Velveteen Rabbit By Margery Williams The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams There was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming. There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten. For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon every one else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real. The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint, caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms. The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn't know that real rabbits existed; he thought they were all stuffed with sawdust like himself, and he understood that sawdust was quite out-of-date and should never be mentioned in modern circles.

Velveteen is made from cotton or a cotton-blend fabric that has a short dense pile. It is woven in a single layer with an extra set of filling yarns that are cut to form the short, closely set pile. Velveteen is available in solid colors and printed with plaid, floral or paisley designs. As a medium weight fabric, it is used whenever a velvet look is desired. It is easier to sew and more durable than velvet. Patterns This fabric is used for dresses, jumpers, vests, children's clothes, jackets, coats, skirts and slacks. Simple styles with few seams are good choices. Preshrink All cotton velveteen will shrink. For finished garments that will be laundered, stitch ends of fabric closed, then wash and tumble dry on delicate cycle.

For centuries, these fabrics have added elegance, femininity and versatility to wardrobes as beautiful dresses, gowns or separates. While these fabrics are similar in appearance, the process used to construct each fabric is quite differ­ warp ends ent. Velvet, the oldest of the pile fabrics (since 2000 B.C.), may be woven or knitted. In woven velvet the pile is formed by the lengthwise warp yams; in velve­ teen the crosswise filling yarns form the pile. In woven velvet, two layers offabric are woven simulta­ neously forming a sandwich with the vertical warp yams as the filling. Layers are then separated with a knife to form the pile.

  • Velvets & Velveteen
    Velvets & Velveteen Traditionally, the grand or house drapes are made of velvet with a generous fullness. Velvet is a beautiful and luxurious fabric, but you must provide extra attention to the care and maintenance of this fabric. Note that Velvet Velour should not be confused with velveteen.

NIGERIA, MFA. ABU, Ph.D. DELSU Chile Oparaocha BA ABU,MFA Uniuyo. Abstract Isi-Agu(meaning Lion Head) isan industrial printed fabric embellished with lion symbol/motifthat has broken social boundaries between the High Culture and Pop Culture fashion.The traditional soft texture Isi-agu cloth was a royal monopoly and an aristocratic dress with a strong sense of the historicityof the Igbo people of South- Eastern Nigeria. Itrepresents the prominent symbol of leadership, strong future, and lion symbol being a vehicle of communication expresses a culturally understood visual language in the Igbo region. However,it has influenced Pop culture fashion due to innovative technology, effective mass media, and cheaper versions that exhibit excellent colour schemes and designs. The study seeks to understand what influenced pop culture fashion trends, their acceptance, design concept, and popularization. The essence is to encouragethe production of cheaperIsi-agu durable fabrics, higher patronage amongst the younger generation, the expression of creativity, and thus innovativeness. The study employsa descriptive research method and library information. It is essential to promotethe fashion and textile industries in Nigeria. Keywords: Isi-agu, lion head, pop
