Portland NAACP
To Give Benefit
Ball To Aid Bill

In reviewing the thirty years re-
cord of the National Association
for Advancement of Colored People
one need only to scan its pages to
find written indelibly the names
of such fearless Americans as Wal
ter White, w. E. B. Dubois, Mary
White Orvington, Spingarn and
others advocating and supporting
the principles and policies of the
association. The association is not
only the races one weapon in the
hands of thousands of members
comprising the 400 branches, all
fighting to wipe out lynchings and
its kindred atrocities of discrimina-
ton, racial prejudice and economic
struggle. 1t is fitting that after
30 years, the 400 branches of the
organization throughout the coun-
try will hold benefit balls with
which to fight for the federal anti
lynching bill. The Portland branch
joins in the celebration at F'rater-
nal Hall Saturday evening, Feb
ruary II, when AL Pierre will do
nate the services of his orchestra.
Other doners are the Fraternal AS
sociation which has donated the
hall. Surely Mr.. and Mrs. Portland
will do their part.

Enthusiasm Is High
At Mass Meeting

An enthusiastic mass meeting
was held Tuesday evening, Janu-
airy 81, at Williams Ave. branch
"Y," sponsored by the local N. A.
A. c. p, Mr.. Edgar Williams, pre-
sident, presiding. Purpose of the
meeting was to better inform the
race group and all citizens con-
cerned of the civil rights bill that
will be presented at this session
of the legislature. Individuals and
organizations throughout the city
are being called upon to write let
ters to the Oregon senators in re-
quest of their support. President
Williams made clear the methods
by which the bill is being present
ed and named five senators as
sponsors, with Harry M. Kenin as
spokesman. Since it is necessary
that sixteen of the thirty senator's
vote favorably on the bill to as
sure it's passage, there still remain
eleven to be won over. President
Williams urged letters be sent to
these senator's: P. j. Stadelman,
Charles Childs, Rex Ellis, DR.. j.
A. Best, u. S. Ballentine, Douglas
Mckay, and w. H. Strayer. These
may be addressed by name to the
Senate Chamber, Salem, Oregon.
First among organizations to
comply with the appeal to write
was the Portland Association of
Youth (white), the request being
made by the editor of these col
umns on behalf of the Youth Coun-
Gil, N.A.A.C.P., of which she is
advisor.
