PIONEER PASSES

The last rites for Mrs. Matte
Allen, who died June 20, were
held June 26. She had reached a
ripe old age and was of real pi-
oneer stock, having been one of
the first women to settle in AL
berta, Canada. She had many
friends throughout Canada and the
United States. She was born in
Georgia and married William AL
len, after which she moved to
Denver, Colorado, and then to Can
ada in 1909. Mrs. Allen was asso-
ciated with the Order of Eastern
Stars and the Household of Ruth
for many years. At the time of her
death, she resided with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. c. Davis of Vancouver

Selassie Keeps Promise
Retake Of an Empire

Halle Selassie, King of Kings, is
once more established on his Eth
opian throne. What his return will
mean to the African war can only
be conjectured-but he has return
ed to rule a people strengthened by
their trials and more determined
than before to defend their indie
pendence against foreign intrigues.
So says the famed journalist, Gen
veive Tabouis, writing in the July
issue of the Coronet.
Even after four years spent in
exile in an unfriendly country, the
Emperor of Ethiopia never for a
second lost faith in his return to
his kingdom. During the summer
1888 says Coronet, when Morris
Gest attempted to persuade Halle
Selassie to come to the United
Safes for a lecture tour, the Ne
gus replied, VERY honorable Mr..
Gest, within three years shall be
back at Adds Ababa" And he
was!
Although he is perhaps the last
feudal sovereign living today, his
majesty is right up to date on
methods of ruling his country. He
gave Ethiopia for the first time a
modern centralized government
and a parliamentary system. But
then came the war with Italy and
defeat after defeat for the Ethio-
plan armies.
Halle Selassie, it has been said,
was ruthless in his quest for pow
er and cowardly in his flight with
the imperial treasure a few days
before the fall of Adds Ababa.
Nine. Tabouis in Coronet defends
the Emperor by pointing out that
he made his escape so he could
help in the resurrection of his en-
pire-something in which he new
er lost faith.
The days of his exile were hard
and bitter. On June 3, 1886, he
arrived in the town of Bath, Eng
land. He remained there until June
1910. But far from enjoying the
privileges of man of his rank, he
was resented by many of Cham
berlin's henchmen. Worse-he was
penniless. In order to live, the King
of Kings was forced to sell his sill
yer dishes and part of the crown
jewels. His daughter had to go to
work to support the family.
But during those years of isol-
alton emphasizes Coronet, the Ne
gus never failed the interests of
his country, the loss of which Off
cial circles took for granted. The
treasure which he had rescued was
spent drop by drop to finance the

English boy stepped up to him and
said, Can help you out, sir"
Mr.. Boyce was surprised, but he
told the boy where he wanted to
go, and the boy said, Come with
me sir" When they got to the
right place, Mr.. Boyce started to
give the boy some money, but he
refused saying, mo sir. am a
scout and scouts do not accept
tips for courtesy, and before Mr..
Boyce had even asked his name,
the boy had disappeared. Now Mr..
Boyce had never heard about Boy
Scouts. There was no such thing
in America then, but he was so
struck by what the boy did, that
he asked questions about the Scout
movement. He came home and
talked about it to friends. So thirty
years ago the Boy Scout Move
ment of America was founded and
then the American Boy Scouts
raised the statue in London to an
unknown boy whose friendliness
had results that he never could
have dreamed Performing such
acts of mercy daily, will make
each and every one of us independ-
ent and happy. Christ in many
ways, will help us with the prob
lem of being independent. He has
taught us the laws of life that we
can never be indepent of, for there
are something's in this world we
can never be independent of. The
law of gravitation, for example,
is one of these things. Should
decide to skate on thin ice, or step
from the window of a six story
building, run against solid facts
that l cannot change laws of nat
ufe, from everlasting to eVerlast-
ing that I can never be independ-
ent of. Strange but true, there is
no freedom without obedience.
This same principal holds true in
character. God help us all, Fathers,
Mothers, Teachers and Children
in this high task of learning to-
gether the laws of the good life
Jesus taught. There is nothing
our world needs more today than
that kind of independence. Christ
was Independent. He had an inner
loyalty in the highest. God help
us share that quality.
To be Independent is to be loyal
to the high, that the low cannot
have its will with us.

mistake by taking over the state
university and that most of the
officials of that regime are now
in prison.

Somewhat Expressive
500 Lose Jobs
BY Harold HOlifield

1t has been brought to the atten-
ton of this department that 800
workers are to be removed from
w. P. A. rolls in Washington
state. The district offices in Yaki-
ma and Longview are to be closed.
1t does not take a great deal of
figuring to conclude that many of
those laid off viii be Negroes.
Carl w. Smith, state w. P. A. adj
ministrator said that the reduct-
ion is due to lower appropriations.
For those who can get other
work in defense industries, the
cut will be a blessing, a mere
boost. For those who can not gain
other employment because of race,
it will be a terrific hardship.
The w. P. A. has been subjected
to many cruel jokes. 1t has been
laughed at, called loafers paradise.
However, it has done things. 1t has
built parks, Fairgrounds, and
roads.
The administration is fully
aware of the discrimination
against Negro workers in defense
w. P. A. workers into defense
workers and thereby killing two
birds with one stone, they turn
some of their workers out of jobs
altogether to become idle while
the country needs men.
Somewhat eX is puzzled.

Closeup View OF
Fats Waller

THE closer you get to Fats"
Waller, the more you can appreci-
ate him" says Gerald Wells, who
is presenting the inimitable Fats"
insa dance at the Senator Ball
room, Monday, July 18th. For
that reason, instead of placing
Waller on huge stage, he will be
located on the bandstand which is
closer to the floor and makes it
possible for more people to appre-
ciate Fats" in all his informali-
tiles"
Coming to the Northwest for the
first time, Waller will have with
him his large touring band which
includes, of course, all the music
ians who record with Fats.
Remember "Honeys exile
Rose ?" Remember Your Feet's
Too Big?" Well then, remember
Monday, July 18th at the Sentor,
and you'll meet the man who
made those tunes SO you'd remem-
Der them Fats" Waller.
From the sacred organ to
swing, the clangor of the trumpet,
the complaining flute, the jealous
pangs of the violins the frantic in
dignation of the ivory keys,
through all the compass of the
down beat, Fats" Walters crea-
ton of harmony for the feet, will
leave him one of the outstanding
musicians of America" said Ger
aid Wells.

and to recommend to the several
departments and the President
himself steps to correct the COM
plants.
Randolph, after expressing ap-
probation and the gratitude of
the committee for the Presidents
order, went on to make another
request. "It is the judgment of
this committee" he said, that
discrimination because of race,
creed, color or national origin by
the government itself serves as a
cue and pattern for private en-
ployers to commit un-American
and undemocratic offenses of dis
elimination also :. Therefore, the
committee asks that the Presi-
dent find it possible to issue a Sec
ond executive order that will end
discrimination in all departments
of the federal government, and
which will give reality and force
to our professions concerning DEM
ocracy."
The speaker anticipated that the
order issued will mean thousands
of new jobs and hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in wages to Ne
groes along with improved stan
dards of living and education for
their children.

INDEPENDENCE


From the beginning all children
want to be independent. The littl-
est baby wants what he wants
when he wants it, and squalls for
it. We all want our way Do not
misunderstood me: I am not going
to talk against being independent.
l am all for it. Boys and girs,
men and women are right in want
ing to take charge of their own
lives and not be bossed around by
other people, not even by mothers
and fathers. This deep desire of
ours that starts in childhood to be
free to shake off restraint, and
handle our own lives the way we
want to is right. But it is not as
simple as it looks. Paul, the apos-
tie, tells us in the New Testament,
For freedom did Christ set us
free" He also said that Christ
wanted us to be free and independ-
ent. You ask how Christ helps us
to be free and independent For
one thing he ministers to our in
dependence by helping us to gov
ern our lives from within. Some
body has to control our lives.
If they are not controlled from
from within. We are like boats,
without, they must be controlled
and there are only three things
that can be done with a boat. First
it can be towed by another boat,
that is the very opposite of indie
pendence. Second, it can be cut
loose free and allowed to drift, but
that is not independence either,
for then the tides, the winds, and
current take hold and land it upon
the rocks.
If any boat is to be really in
dependent, it must be controlled
from within by someone who
knows how to run it steer it, and
keep the course. Real independence
is substituting wise, right minded
: self control for outside control,
and that is not simple. Please al
low me to say just here, and 1
| speak from personal experiences,
Independence is a great and very
difficult achievement. 1t means
growing intelligent, wise, good and
inwardly strong enough to take
charge of our own life and handle
it well. That is about the greatest
achievement there is, and it is not
to be gotten by merely saying, and
having our own way. Here is the
story of a friendly boy whose
name nobody knows. Were you to
go to Gilwell Park in London you
would find a statue erected to
him. He was an English boy and
that statue has been put there in
England by Americans in his hon.
or. 1t is a great bronze Buffalo,
and on the pedestal is this inscrip-
ton, ITO the unknown Scout
whose faithfulness in the perfor-
nance of the daily good turn
brought the Scout Movement to
America"
Here is the story behind that.
One day an American business
man, VIM. d. Boyce of Chicago,
was in London trying to find his
way around in a fog when an

that he will be ready to put fun

Despite assertions from the gov

ing out Of the ordinary connected
with Prices assumption Of office;
there is conclusive evidence that
there was a lot Of confusion and
uncertainty about the date on which
Price was to become a board mem

himself may have shared none Of
this confusion and uncertainty, but
it was there all the same,
Price is said TO have understood
he was not to take office until June

Broughton that he came down last
week to be formally indicted into
office as a board member and soon
thereafter elected chairman.
