tenn, have been denied member
ships in the two unions.

A plea asking jobs for Negroes
charges that two A F of L Unions
are keeping skilled shipyard work.
ers idle while the federal govern
ment trains thousands of unskill-
ed men, were aired at the school
board meeting Wednesday night.
The discussion was touched off
by the assertion of Rev. ]. j.
Glow, representing the Negro
Emergency Advisory council, that
the Portland locals of the boiler
makers and machinists' unions re-
fuse to admit Negroes to member
ship. Since the unions hold closed
shop agreements at shipyards IN
this area, the exclusion from union
membership prevents them from
shipyard jobs.

A. L. Hayes, the mail-carrier,
who was ill in bed for several
weeks, has returned to duty again.
He was missed from his place in
the A. M. E. Choir as well as the
many organizations he is identif-
led with. His many friends are
delighted to have him out again.
Rev. D. C. Stephenson and choir
were invited to Simpson Memorial
Church in Renton last Sunday
night. The choir gave 80 minute
song service and Rev. Stephenson
delivered the message. The service
rendered by the group was highly
appreciated. At the close, a rec
ord was made of the solo sung by
Mrs. Edna Moore and of solo and
chorus led by Patricia Covington.
The choir and Pastor were es-
corted to the DINING room to
meet members and friends of the
church. Light refreshments were
served. Rev. Roy Jenkins is pas
tor of the church.

Buck, ]. Benford, James Beck, and

The Chamber of Commerce pre-
scented the men who are running
for office at the coming election
this month. 1t was interesting to
listen to each speaker express his
views as to why he should be
elected. To see and hear for ones
self gives opportunity for select
ing persons one feels best fitted
for office.
At Fort Lewis on Sunday after
church service, a beautiful silver
service was presented to Mrs. R.
w. Bowers in token of her inter-
est in assisting in the religious
services. She has organized and
is directing a choir at the chapel
each Sunday. This beautiful trib-
ute shows the respect and esteem
the soldiers have for this young
woman who works with them in
this capacity.
