Popular Demand
Changes Golf Club

Owing to the wide interest
shown by the general public to-
wards the first Annual Negro
Northwest Open Golf Tournament,
August 20, the committee has been
obliged to change its play from
Darlington to Jefferson Park Golf
Club. The latter course, which is
considered real test of golfing
skill, has better facilities for trans
portation as it can be reached Ell
Their by street car or automobile.
The large gallery which is ex-
pected to attend will benefit very
much by this new change.
Field events have been added to
the program by the committee. In
the afternoon special prizes will be
given for the longest drive on the
LIST hole and the ball lying closest
to the pin on number 16.
Again the committee wishes to
impress upon all entrants the i'm
portance of sending in three or
four score cards with entry fees
so that each contestant will have
the same chance to win handicap
prizes.

State General Baptist Association
Completes Constructive Sessions
Reverend E. B. Reed Is Reelected AS Moderator;
Enterprise Is Official Paper

Great State to sojourn for a few
days as the honored guests of the
Mt. Hope Baptist Church, and it's
pastor, the Rev. A. J. Lucas, and
too we are not unmindful of the
fact the good citizens of this COM
munity will figure very largely in
making our stay pleasant one,
and the sessions of our association
by their attendance and interest a
success. We therefore are taking
the liberty at this time to lend an
expression of gratitude to the
church, and the good citizens of
Yakima for the very splendid care
they have planned to realize to us
during our brief stay in their
midst.
For decade or more years the
meetings of the Association held
in Yakima proved to be of intre-
pid interest to all concerned in the
development of the work in the
state I am sure. In 1925 I was
first elected to the office of Mod
orator.
" !. In this assembly as in all
other meetings of a kindred pur-
pose, we have two fields of inter-
est before us for our consideration,
first, the finished task, what was
accomplished during the year; that
is what we have come to report;
second, the opportunities which lie
before us : the undeveIoped re-
sources, what shall be do about
them?
This has been a very nor
NAL year, in some respects we've
exceeded in accomplishments over
previous years, but not many. It
is true that to our knowledge none
have suffered from the retrench-
ments of any ideals. We have
been endeavoring to be vigilant in
all, things, "Fervent in the Spirit
serving the Lord"

Kansas NAACP Aids
In Defeat Of Winrod

KANSAS CITY, Kan. One of
the contributing causes in the de-
cisive defeat of the Rev. Gerald B.
Winrod for the Republican nomin-
alton for U. s. Senator from Kan
sas, at the polls here August 2,
was the anti-Winrod sentiment a.
reused by the local branch of the
NAACP.
Rallying their forces around a
resolution which condemned the e.
vangelist for his "bigotry and pre-
judice against other races and re-
ligions," the branch branded Win
rod as unfit for the position of U.
S. Senator. Winrod, according to
the branch's resolution, had brand
ed the NAACP as "communistic
organization"

Because the county's financial
condition is largely determined by
the work of the county assessor,
this office demands at its head not
only man who knows values but
one who is sincere in his desire to
further the interests of the people
whom he is elected to serve.
Roy B. Misener's unique qualifi-
cations for this office are noghere
better Illustrated than by his gi-
gantic revaluation program that is
pointing the way for tax equaliza-
ton throughout the entire country.
This huge project has been COM
mended by all agencies interested
in taxation-governmentald depart
ments, real estate boards and prop
erty owners alike.
One of the most important tasks
in connection with this revaluation
project is the aerial survey togeth-
er with the preparation of aerial
maps covering King County. The
value of these maps seems endless.
They disclose every road, byway
and cowpath, every farm, grove,
and orchard, every building, the
shore line more sharply defined
than ever before. The contour of
the mapped area is definitely es-
tablished. Over the entire area of
King County, streets are clearly
pictured and each building and va
cant lot is accounted for in a man.
ner that does not permit of dis
pute.
The assessors office has been
literally amazed at many of the
disclosures of the survey. Great
estates, manufacturing plants, en-
largements and expansions of
which the office had no record and
which represent many thousands
of dollars in tax revenue, are
brought into unacceptable relief,
pictured, mapped and proved. Vast
stretches of valuable timber land
which had previously been listed
as "logged-off" have been brought
to light by Mr.. Misener's survey.
Not the least interesting of the
results has been the annexation to

Ed 'Shiek" Gardner Wins In
Mems Race To Set New Record
By Jacques B. Chappen

Some people just never seem to
get tired of walking. So it is in
the case of Ed 1.-THE Shiek" Gard
ner as he with little or no effort,
walked off with $3.50 first prize
money in the annual Around the
Lake Marathon
The "Shiek" as he called by all
marathon fans stepped a little out
his usual marathon race, that of
running around Lake Washington
to enter the Seattle Star and Sc
attic Tent and Awning Co.'s So
mile valuation. In winning $3.50
first prize money Ed proceeded to
shatter the old record by four min
utes his new record time being s
hours 46 minutes.
Of the 1000 starters but few
were able to stand the grind and
finish the race. Ed Gardner's past
record as walk marathon confess
tant is well known Ed having plac-
ed third in "a, End in '35, and
most noted first in '38.
The Shiek's biggest grand slam
was back in % when he entered
the C. C. Piles Bunion Derby from
Los Angeles to New York in which
he finished eighth to win prize
of $1,000. Remarkable is the fact
the "Shiek" isn't large bullying
muscle man but a small and wiry
man whose well coordinated mus
cles enable him to carry on under
tremendous strain, which can be
clearly seen in his ability.

Germs doing business in Harlem
have agreed after much organized
pressure to hire a large percentage
of colored help in white-collared
jobs, and why not if they are COM
petent. About 80 per cent of Har-

adjustments. When colored peo-
pie wake up to these facts through
out the country, recognition from
an economical, political and social
