DR.. Crane Urges
Christian Leaders

Excerpts from D. Cert ru d e
Cranes speech on Leadership in a
changing world, delivered Friday
500 P. M. at Williams Ave. wv
CA. Miss Spears Executive Secre-
tary presided. DR.. Crane pointed
out the Napolianic, Hitler, Stain
and Huey Long types of leadership
as having questionable effects up
on civilization. We are living in
an age when new kind of leader
ship is to be born. We demand
something new. A disciplined lead
ership, founded upon Christianity.
This mechanical age which we are
passing through has developed an
impersonal attitude toward each
other. Propaganda is misinforma-
ton largely because we depend up
on what we hear and read or no
thing. We are at the place where
we expect any thing to stand on
just any kind of a leader. We are
in desperate need of Christianity.
Christian leadership - have hope
that America will wake up to
Christian leaders-those who have
the realities of good after all,
there isn't anything else to meet
ones needs. You can't build a re-
ligion cited the speaker, you must
have faith. What else do we want,
democracy-need unity and BROTH
erhood-goodness upon which to
build a nation; leaders should stu
dy the Bible-learn Gods purpose
it has always stood. Leaders must
assume responsibilities. They must
be better than any one else. They
must demonstrate what Christian
ity can do. Evil leaders, though
spectacular, do go down. Not only
be better, but leaders must do
more than any one else. Consider
the small job, not necessarily a
big or great leader but a good
lea der. Accept responsibilities.
Here Am I, Send Me-" Great
leaders may never be needed again.
The small leader can do the job.
In her closing remarks, DR.. Crane
stated, Apart from Christian reli-
gion, where do we find respect for
personality, haracter? If we
stand firm on Christian principles
as leaders, race will cease to be
against race and class against
class.

Much enthusiasm and heated de-
bate at intervals on Union and Ia
Dor questions augmented deep con-
Germ Of other important phases of
the Local Branch NAACP in its
regular meeting Sunday 500 p.
M. at the Branch Y. Immediately
upon opening the meeting, Presi-
dent Wyatt w. Williams appoint
ed committee Revs. B. c. Allen,
J. J. Glow and Mr.. Sidney Porter,
Sr. to question. Mr.. Willie Turner,
young race man arrested, placed in
Jail last week on what appears
from all evidence upon investiga-
ton to be a fraudulent charge,
that he frightened two white girls
in the vicinity Of N. e. Garfield
near his home. Mr.. Turner with his
wife and baby daughter is the only
race family living in this immedi-
ate vicinity. Young Turner was re-
leased on the small bail of two
hundred and fifty (250) dollars.
From information at Police head
quarters and from Mr.. Turner, it
sounds much like the same old
tactics used many times to rout
race members form certain neigh
borhoods. The Branch Association
and citizens are ready to do every
thing possible to see that justice
is melted out to Mr.. Turner. He has
lived in Portland about five years,
is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Turner Of Toppenish, Washington,
the brother of Catherine Turner,

son-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

CHRISTMAS
SEALS


of the age; one that in the United
States in 1910, took more lives
than there were persons killed in
action or died of wounds received
in action during the first World
War.
Despite the tremendous death
rate of tuberculosis this past year,
it was less than the previous year
and for many years has been. less
and less, due to the splendid fight
of the loyal band of people under
the double barred cross of the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association.
And this fight could not have
been waged so successfully had it
not been for the funds received
through the sale of Chri S t m a s
Seals, those pretty little seals that
by the millions appear each year
on Christmas letters and gift
packages.
And more people are able to buy
these stamps this year, according
to Mrs. ]. w. Kalkus, local seal
sale chairman, who states that in
this community she has found
there is actually more money in
circulation this year, and there is
also, she found, deeper realiza-
ton of the need of fighting to the
finish the dread black plague.
according to Mrs. Kalkus we must
not let one year go by without do
ing our outmost against Tubercul-
osis in this time of overtaxed
nerves and overworked bodies.
And so the 1941 Christmas Seals
with the lighthouse motif go out
to Pierce County citizens this COM
ing Monday in the hopes that
Christmas letters and packages
will be covered with them, spread
ing the story of the tuberculosis
fight and bringing in to the
League sufficient funds to carry
on the good work that is making
every home safe from this disease.

 Municipal Objectives

Plans for major improvement pro- jects are progressing rapidly, Mayor Vincent A. Scully told the board of finance at meeting yesterday afternoon. The engineering bureau he said, preparing specifications for bidders for construction of the new pipe line and dam, while the con- tract for building the new Baldwin street bridge has already been let and work is proceeding satisfactor- fly on plans for paving and widen- ing Bank street and for construction of state trade school.
 The mayor asked members of the board to appear at a hearing be- fore the appropriation committee at Hartford Tuesday on bill pro- viding for equipping and staffing of the trade school by the state. The bill, offered by Senator Edward P. Egan. carries an appropriation of $500,000. It has already received favorable report from the educa- ton committee.
 Early court action is planned in an effort to secure for the trade school building fund a bequest of $l50000 left by David Porter, who died in 1886. That sum will be added to $l00,000 raised by the city from bond issue, and the whole total, $250,000, will be used to erect the school building. The state will then furnish, equip and provide teachers at the school.
