MORE ABOUT
PUBLIC
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Probably I do harp too much
on public relations but in
time of turmoil such as this, a
good public relations Job Is neces-
sary for any group. Two incidents
have happened recently which SO
completely represent what I've
been driving at, that I'm going to
go back to my favorite subject.
Last week there was a hold-up
in a New York subway train.
There was story about it in all
the papers, but there was one
phase of 1t which was particular
ly interesting to me. Two Negroes
held up white man - I read
that far and groaned thinking of
how long 1t takes to make people
drop the discriminatory adjective.
And then I read further Out of
the entire carful of passengers
just one man had courage to come
10 the aid of the man ATTACKED =
and he was Negro. Tie papers
did give him due credit for
brave and unselfish act and the
story was well told.
But what impressed me most
was the way in which that one
nan = by doing the right thing
had eounteracted the actions
of two of his own race. Right
there and then he did a good pub
lie relations job for all Negroes.
When he took a stand against
,awlessness, he took that stand
for all of his race = and he prov
ed the fallacy of congratulations
against any group as a whole be-
cause of the acts of a few. Not

WAR HOUSING

If you own property be sure to
attend the meeting this Sunday,
February 2Sth, 4 p. m, at the Y.
w. C. A., 102 21st North. Arthur
Wander Sys. Director of War
Housing Center, will be there to
discuss all the activities of War
Housing Center, 20 Douglas
Building.
You'll hear about the lease
conversion plan which enables you
to have your building remodeled
into apartments at the govern
ment's initial expense. Any build
ing which can be remodeled at
not too excessive cost is consid-
cred under this plan. If your
home is too large for your own
use, it might be converted TO a
duplex - or perhaps three of four
apartments. That store building
which has been vacant the last
few months might be remodeled
into apartments. Perhaps you
have an unfinished attic or a large
basement which, If remodeled,
could house couple or family.
Many buildings are only partially
occupied because they are not de-
signed for maximum OCCUPANCY
now is the time to convert them.
Costs of remodeling, under the
lease plan, are paid by the gov
eminent. The owner never has to
worry about the conversion costs.
as they are eventually repaid the
government out of rent from the
improved property during the
lease period.
Wander Sys will explain in de-
tail how you can make arrange
ments to convert your home or
building into additional apart
ments through either the lease
plan or by getting priorities and
doing the job yourself. War
Housing Center will assist you in
either case.
1t is extremely urgent that
property owners take immediate
steps to help supply thousands of
dwelling units in the Seattle area
for the many people who are COM
ing here in the next few months
to work in our war plants. The
Homes Registration division of
War Housing Center already has
on file over 1000 applications of
people desiring homes = which
indicates how great is the need
for new housing units, stated
Wander Sys.
You will aid in the war effort.
and benefit personally by convert
ing your home into apartments.
Don't fail to attend the meeting |
this Sunday when Wander Sys
tells how easily conversion can
be accomplished. All property
owners are invited and urged to
attend.

Imperial Valley press., 1943-12-10

Kerr will call a special election. It
is reported here that -four or five
anti-new deal Democrats" will be
candidates for the seat, and Clark,
the 1910 Republican contestant, also
would be expected to run again.
COP HOPEFUL
The fifth vacancy was created
Thursday by the death of Repre-
sentative Lawrence Lewis, CD,
Colorado. He represented the city
of Denver. Republicans believe they
have an excellent chance to gain
seat there because in 1s40 Lewis
won by margin of only 5000 votes
of the more than 100000 cast.
The congressional trend away
from the Democratic party since
1910 is unmistakable. Republicans
insist that they are assured of gain
ing control of the house in the
next congress. Democrats point
out, however, that they would ex-
pect presidential year conditions
and the pulling power of President
Roosevelt's name to boost their 10
cal tickets assuming that Mr..
Roosevelt is a fourth term candi-
date.
After the 1912 elections the DEM
ocrats had 222 house seats, Repub-
licans 209, Progressives 2, Farmer
Labor and American Labor l each.

An average price of $3.50 a ton
for fresh oranges, for use in setting
ceiling prices for orange products
processed in Florida and Texas,

price is FOB. packing house or

Similar determination will be
made for oranges produced in Cali

professors, it was announced. These
prices will be based upon an ap-
propriate price in line with fresh

In Coast Areas

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10. (UP)
- Northern California counted d
property damage in the millions of
dollars today as the result of high
winds and brush fires which burned
thousands of acres, inflicted wide
spread damage along the shore
line, disrupted commLnications and
left 15o persons homeless.
Weather forecasts predicted di-
minishing but considerable" winds
for Friday, continuing a heavy
northerly gale that ranged from 40
to "a miles an hour in intensity
yesterday.
Red Cross workers gave tempo
rary shelter to 40 homeless war
workers in the Vallejo area, where
fire destroyed six homes and the
high winds unroofed 80 more.
A new fire in Solano county be-
tween Vacaville and Fairfield burn
ed over 1900 to 1000 acres of graz
ing land and small ranch buildings
Thursday night, as fire depart
ments from five communities re-
ported damage approximating ST.
100000 from a series of fires which
threatened residential areas behind
the cities while jumping over ap-
proximately 10 square miles of trees
and brush before being brought un-
der control.
Adjacent Contra Costa county re-
ported another million dollar loss
from brush fires which swept over
several thousand acres and wide
spread wind damage to shoreline
property and Urbank areas.
Monterey's fishing fleet, driven
ashore by the force of the gale, was
being pulled off the beaches by
army amphibious tanks after dam
age to more than 100 vessels and
Monterey peninsula property was
estimated to total sl,000,000.

Association of Manufacturers, sug-
gested Friday federal government
postwar budget of $21 900, ,0O00OO
q year on q strictly balanced basis
to assure a lasting peace-time econ
omy
Cowdin also proposed a budget of
$9,000CJ0,000 for state and local
governments, giving the nation an
annual overall budget of $30,00O,-
100000 which he estimated would
amount to approximately Is per
cent of the postwar national IN
come.
He offered his program in an adj
dress at the second war congress
of American industry.
I'VE can have necessary peace
time government at the cost OF
$4,000, ,C00,000 year. he said. Be
yond this amount We cannot go
without grayo Ganger to oCr coun-
try.

operate on something at least ap-
preaching a balanced budget dur

is a certainty. The real danger of

BIRMINGHAM, Mich, Dec. 10
CUP)-The problem of domestic
help became too much for Mrs.
Richard j. Coveney, who has part
time job paying 65 cents an hour.
She had six different maids in a
month and finally inserted the
following ad in a newspa per:
WANTED: Maid to live in. $ld
a day. No coC-,ng, cleaning, serving
or laundry; no ration book requir-
ed; taxi to and from bus. Loan of
mink coat Thursdays and Sundays.
Two children but mistress will take

wer door and telephone and create
impression of luxury. Must be will
ing to wear uniform from 3 to S
pm. and eat such meals as mistress
prepares"
Mrs. Covene" said there was no
prospect of filling that domestic's
dream, and she just wanted to see
what would happen. She guessed
that maybe the readers of the ad
thought it was a dream, too, for she
received no replies.

100000, Riley said.
Increased state costs included a
S11,332,957 in expenditures for OLD
