social workers and visitors from
all over the country will be in Sc
attic attending the National Con-
ference of Social Workers. True
to the western spirit, Seattleites
will be most hospitable, they will
go out of their way to be charm
ing and gracious.
If you have a personal guest in
your home, you will want to get a
pamphlet from the Chamber of
Commerce that will list all the in
teresting places in Seattle to visit,
and how to reach them, such as
the Government Locks, the view
of the ocean and the view of the
city from Queen Ann Hill, the wa
terfront and the Puget Sound
from West Seattle, Rainier Valley
from Beacon Hill, Lake Washing
ton from Mt. Baker, ct cetera, eft
cetera. Mt. Rainier will beckon
to many of them, moonlight boat
rides on the beautiful Kalakala
the public markets, and a thous-
and one things will attract others.
But wherever you take them, and
whatever you say to them, do not
forget to include few things alb
out our own group.
First, the Negro population in
Seattle is estimated to be around
1900. AS a comparison the Japan
csc population numbers something
like 5000, and the Chinese a little
over 1900 There are 80 Negro
boys and girls attending the Uni
versity of Washington. Your guests
will have met all of our profess
sional social workers: j. S. Jack
