HERE'S MORE ABOUT
Cannot Get Oil

dustrial engineer for the light de-
partment. r. r. Hoffman, Seattle
City Light superintendent. also
joined II 10 see what ne could learn
of his future oil supply.
The Seattle standby steam plant
on Lake Union is equipped for oil
only, has storage space for but
few days supply and no storage
space for coal.
o'Neil explained to Frey. as he
has to the Tacoma city council and
board of contracts and awards, his
purpose in asking oil-burning facil-
lite at steam plant No. 2. Tacoma's
$4,000 kilowatt standby power
plant. 1t is used in case of a
hydro-plant breakdown, or as II
may be this summer, when water
is low and electric power consump-
ton over hydro-power capacity.
Oil Would Save
The tank and burner would cost
around $25, 900. but o'Neil declares
he could save $500 day by using
oil at present coal prices. He also
sees the city at the mercy of coal
companies.
The government oil coordinator's
representative repeatedly assured
O'Neil that there will be no oil
available for new installations
until I'VE lick the Japs."
At the suggestion that no one
could look in a crystal ball and see
what the situation will be four
months from now, Frey told O'Neil
he was not using crystal ball
but simple mathematics.
Most of the picture can be seen
in transportation. Supply, appar-
emily is not problem at the
sources.
Depends on Tankers
But diversion of tankers for
American war operations across
the seas means fewer for supply
ing Puget Sound cities. The linn
tied number might not be able to
carry enough to meet next win
ter's demand.
To see that they do, fuel oil
consumption will be limited. Gaso-
line rationing serves the same
purpose. Less use of it leaves
more space in tankers to haul
winter-essentia fuel oil.
Frey offered some hope to Com
missioner O'Neil on the coal price
problem. He suggested three ave-
nues of appeal which might bring
better prices not only for the city
light department but for consum-
ers who use coal for fuel. Price
Administrator Leon Henderson
might be able to help, he said. The
coal coordinator In Washington
also might be of assistance and
Joseph Eastman, federal transpor-
tation coordinator, might do some
thing about freight rates on coal.
Worse In East
Drastic regulations are being
forced upon other sections of the
country by the difficulty Of oil
transportation. the Tac ON ans

On the eastern seaboard, for in |
stance. apartment houses will |
cease heating a full month earlier
than usual, on April /, this year.
Huge power systems like New
York Edison are being required to
accumulate full stocks of coal |
before midsummer.
Frey left the clear impression
that the Tacoma Light system
would do well to forget oil for the
duration and build up a stock OF |
coal now.
Satisfied that O'Neil also will /
agree now that there will be no
oil, Mayor Cain said he would call |
a meeting of the board of contracts /

The Mississippi Federation is

the clubs indicated the varied ac-
tivities in which they engage.
Some clubs are mostly cultural
all clubs engage in some activity
such as scholarships, aid to under
privileged children, and cher need
persons on the community. Gar
dening and recreational activities
are engaged in by many clubs.
FILLS REAL NEED
The Mississippi Federation is
nearly 40 years old. Ruring this
time it has proven it's worth. Wo-
men of all classes support its pro-
gram. Often it is said that any
body who is anybody is a member
of the Mississippi Federation. Tea
cheers, Housewives, business Wo-
men, government workers, rural
women, women in cities and towns
women of little wealth, rich wo-
men, sorority women, women with
less formal education, married wo-

ing women and teen age girls all
are represented on the membership
roster.

the war effort. There was a feeling
of unity, a singleness of purpose,
the attitude expressed by one for
all and all for EACH, which has
always been So characteristic of
the group but was very pronoun-
ced at the convention.
Jackson College and Central Me-
thodist Church was the meeting
centers. The citizens of Jackson
extended their usual hearty well

last year that delegates would pay

The 34th annual convention of
the Mississippi Federation of Col

sed amid cheers and mounting en-
thusiasm. Many have attributed
to the record breaking attendance
and the unusually large represen-
tation from new clubs to the fear
that this may be the last conven-
ton for the duration However, the
prevailing spirit was not one of
despair or futility. The organiza-
ton made plans for the future, NUT
was always mindful of the fact
of the effect of the war and what

their support as a group and indi-
vidually to the winning of the
present war. They resolved to fl
ght for double victory making
democracy reality at home while
fighting to save it abroad. The
organization pledged itself to act
whenever and wherever possible to
relieve racial tension which is ag-
gravated by war hysteria, and to
correct the evils which breed such
tension.
A telegram was sent to the Pres
ident of the United States express

SPONSORS BROAD
PROGRAM

PhOGRAM
The Federation program is very
inclusive. It aims to embrace all
activities and interest of women
in Mississippi. Among the depaort-
ments and committees listed on the
official roster are: Arts and Crafts
Education, Child welfare, Race Re-
lations, Civics, Business Women in
Industry, Religion Emphasis, Heal
tn, Fine Arts, Social Strvice, etc.
Since it's organization in the two
major projects of the Federation
have been delinquency and recre-
alton. Now that a twenty year
fight for a school for delinquent
Negro youth has been consumma-
ted, the group is placing major
emphasis on the development of
recerational facilities for Negroes
in Mississippi. The Federation
owns tract of land at Clinton
which has been dedicated for re-
creational purposes. For several
summers boy scouts, Al club gro
ups, church clubs, etc have used
the facilities for camping. Last
summer an interracial group under
the auspices of the Fellowship of
Reconciliation conducted a week
camp. The Federation anticipates
sponsoring a camp itself next SUI
MINER and has invited other organ
izations to participate.
