THE ISLAND CITY

will be stationed here and prob
ably the unit now at Miami
municipal airport. However there
is nothing definite yet in this
line. The Naval Station. will
most probably not be open for
the present.
THAT AUXILIARY FIELD
you hear so much about may be
at the old Pan American airport.
Army officers have been noted
measuring the field and also
measuring an extra length at one
.end of the field. Any aviator can
tell you that the runways must
be heightened bit for those big
army ships. This can be done
quite easily. The flight of planes
based at Miami has been called
only a routine flight, but any OBJ
server can see in the face of ex-
listing circumstances it is much
more than that. Miami Daily
News Whirligig hints too at COM
ing developments in Miami.

WE SHALL HAVE a real beach


this winter, says J. II. Lehman,
chairman of Chamber of Com
merce beach committee. We shall
have a real beach this winter,
says Col. L. c. Brinton of a for
mer committee appointed by city
authorities. And the funny part
of it is each of them will begin
raising sponsorship funds shortly.
The Brinton committee was the
first committee in the field.
Later, the Chamber of Commerce
requested Mayor Albury to ap-
point another committee and this
was done last week. Both COM
mittees are certainly civic-mind-
ed and each wishes to have a
beach ready for the tourist sea-
son in spic and span condition
with available dressing rooms
and showers. Through dressing
room charges and suit rentals
and other small items they will
pay workmen to keep the beach
clean and make other improve
ments. Funds secured in any
way from the public will be de-
posted with a treasurer and may
be expended only for beach work.
This column, however, wishes
that the Lehman committee would
consolidate with the Brinton COM
mittee. Since the chamber now en-
dorses the Lehman committee it
is this columns belief that the
Lehman committee should be the
empowered committee.

Migrating Negro Families Reflect
Economic Conditions in Rural Areas

WASHINGTON, D. c. - Facts
and figures about Negro migration
from rural districts are given in
the report on Rural Migration in
the United States" just published
by the Division of Research of the
Work Projects Administration.
Negroes took large part in the
migratory movement from rural
areas that went on in the decade
from 1920 to 1880. About one in
every nine migrants from rural
areas was Negro. Moreover, ma
ny of the whites who migrated
were old people, retiring from the
farms to neighboring towns and
villages. 1t was largely whole IA
miles of Negroes that migrated, in
what resembled a mass depopula-
ton of some rural districts. And
the Negro migrants moved chiefly
from Southern farm areas to large
Northern cities. They were not
retiring, but seeking work and a
better livelihood.

Plan Reception for
A.Philip Randolph

The Brotherhood of Sleeping Car
Porters and the Ladies' Auxiliary
are busy making preparations for
the reception of Mr.. A. Philip Ran
dolph, International President of
Sleeping Car Porters, who comes
to Seattle, October 26-27-28-29-30.
On October 26-27-28, Mr.. RAN
dolph will address the porters and
their wives, o'clock p. m. at the
Y.W.C.A. On the 29th, at s p. m,
he will address the public at Mt.
Zion Baptist Church, 10th and e.
Madison. This meeting is spon-
sored by the B.S.C.P. and the La
dies Auxiliary and there will be
no charge.
Mr.. Randolph Is today consid-
cred the most outstanding Negro
living. The signal victory Of the
P.S.C.P. under his leadership re-
mains unmatched in the past. and
will remain so for years to come.
For the past twelve years, Mr..
Randolph has been compelled to
wage a relentless battle on two
fronts. His victory for the Broth
erhood leaves him in a position to
reform his forces there and con-
centrate his full force to abolish
the color bar in Trade Unions.
The late order of President Green
of the ALL. to take steps to abol-
ish the color bar in all unions is
evidence of the progress he Is
making.
Because of his health, the adj
dress at Mt. Zion Baptist Church,
October 20, will be his only public
appearance. The Dining Car Por-
tiers and their wives are also in
vited to attend the afternoon meet
ing of the 26-27-2S. These meet
ings will be held at the Y.W.C.A.

you will see for yourselves that
the fans have taken on that same

that are there usually go to drink.
To me the only thing, or force,
that seems to take the u. Of W..
eleven out Of those temperamental
doldrums to spark them up to
where they show fight, is for them
to play an opposing team that has
colored boys in tn eline-up.
II this be true, for the sake of
true Neutrality-suspicious. land the

that there isn't a colored boy on
an opposing eleven the remainder
Of the season.
Under this present set-up, what
are we to do? What are we going
to use for an excuse to outsiders
for our sad, and we have had a
very sad, outfit, lately.
won't comment on last Satur-
days game; but I will mention
that the u. of w. team showed
more fight than usual. Kenny
Washington and Jack Robinson Of
UCLA played a wonderful game,
and that I pulled for UCLA land
I live In Washington.
There was a picture in one of
Seattle's papers showing Strobe

pictures of U. of WIS roughing?
I'm a Washingtonian straight
out, and If we had a state song
like California has, I'd be singing
Washington's praise all the time.
But still I've got my pet peeve
with this doggy" Husky outfit.
White or colored, we have had
lots of good material leave these
parts for other places, and all
make good.
In this democratic country and
state, where color, race or creed
draws no line, let those to whom
it might concert out there at the
University of Washington, try to
live and practice these American
ideas of democracy.
I'll bet my bottom nickel (and
I'm no gambling MANI that if the
thought of the school and the state
came first, all other petty mis-
understandings would be put aside

ing fans behind them like in the
day of dear old Enoch Bagshaw.

NOTICE

This paper will tell the truth
about Negroes and create for
them a favorable opinion. And
the Negro, it may seem harsh,
who does not read and support
his own paper, does not care
what the world thinks of him.
The law requires all news
paper subscriptions be paid in
advance. If your paper fails
to reach you, the fault Is not
ours. We must obey the law.

cess. They learned what it means
to look for job for a man and
find they have a job that could
have been manned all the while.
For Eba's has employed a Negro
for some time, but was willing to
consider replacement because
the present employee is undepend-
able. The committee has already
found the right man for the job.
Another step which should serve
notice that the Seattle Negro
means business was taken when
the board of directors of the Doug
las Apartments switched their pat
ronage from Puget Sound to City
Light. They sent Puget Sound a
letter explaining why such action
was taken and 1t is believed that
this action will cause officials of
Puget Sound to sit up and take
notice.
Now the committee is seeking to
learn where the Negro does his
banking. The National Bank of
Commerce hires six Negroes, but
so far as could be learned, no 9TH
er bank employees colored help.
A permanent organization will
be formed after the next meeting
OF the ladies' auxiliary of the Pro-
tective Order of Dining Car Wait
ers.
