Not only was the day spent in
petitions and Thanksgiving, dur
ing the while arrangements were
being made for the service God
was making ready another type
of service using Rev, ]. w. Swan
cy, pastor of the Kennydale church
Everett and Roslyn churches, as
instruments with which to instit-
ute it, causing an aged man who
had never known God in the par
don of his sins to accept and ack-
nowledge God as his savior, last
Sunday. Mrs. j. w. Johnson of
Roslyn was brought to Mt. Zion
to be baptised. Along with Rev.
Swancy and Mr.. Johnson came
Sister Barnett and Sister Echols
over the long trail leading over
miles of mountain road just to re-
ceive the blessing the Lord, had
in store for them. For "The bless
ing of the Lord, it maketh rich and
he addeth no sorrow with it." It
was a day of rejoicing and praise
giving to our Father. Rev.
Swancy is doing a great work, so
that he cannot come down. Sure
ly he is a servant of the master,
seeking means with which to help
in the building of the Kingdom
on earth. 1t was a service og
great need and great rejoicing.

somewhat
expressive
BY Harold Hollfield

It seems as though one Eugene
Beech living at STA Juneau Ter
race, has been discharged from
the Aircraft defense training
classes at the Rainier School.
He was told that his discharge
was given because he was a Negro
and the Boeing plant would not
accept people with dark skins.
The man in charge of the
courses, a Mr.. Schroeder. said
that it was unfair to let a person
complete a course with the ex-
pectation Of getting a job that he
could not get.
He said the course did not 60
far enough to train workers for
anywhere except plants that train
apprentices as does Boeings.
Public property Is being used
for the courses.
The w. P. A. is a public institu-
ton.
Eugene Beech is a member of
the public.
The Boeing plant is a private
establishment.
In this somewhat weird set-up,
we have the public's money spent
for the benefit of a private in
stitution and for their benefits
only.
We have a citizen denied the
right to study on his own property
because the private establishment
does not want him to.
We have the strange discre-
pancy that the presidents w. P.
A. doesn't cooperate with the pre-
sident's proclamation that there
should be no discrimination In de-
Tense industries.
We also have the time honored
assumption that the colored peo-
pie of Seattle will probably do no
thing about it.

Oilers Win Penant
Tact -si,y,1oxy o-othox ,,;Ioa+ 49,
was passed in the baseball world,
when the Yakima Oilers won the
Yakima Valley League baseball
trophy. The league leading Oilers
also won the city baseball champ
ionship a few weeks ago. The Oil
ers are earnest, hard playing and
love to give and take.
From crutches to championship
is the record of the teams pitch
er, Sanford Barnes. Barnes was
out of the game early in the sea-
son because of a broken ankle.
This did not affect his throwing
arm and soon was able to pitch his
team to the city and Valley league
championships.
The Oilers beat the Teton team
11-2. Rallying in the third inning,
Billy Gray knocked a home run
with one on. Gray is the Babe
Ruth of the Valley league. His av-
erage is about one home run each
game. Barnes pitched a no hit,
no run game until the eighth inn
ing, when Tieton scored their only
two runs of the game.
Fans and manager alike are
proud of their team. The battery
for the champ Oilers were Sanford
(Satchel Paige) Barnes and Joe
Folk. The team will remain intact
for the coming season.
