Grandma was a great one for
rubbing" the miseries of chest
colds and many other simple pains
and aches of her family. The rub
she used was medicated in her own
way but she insisted that it contain
mutton suet. She liked the way
mutton suet disappeared as it
helped carry medication to nerve
ends in the skin to relieve pain.
Today science has modernized
Grandma's old-time pain relief
principle to bring you Penetro, the
salve with a base that contains old
fashioned mutton suet plus 5 ac-
tive ingredients. Now mothers ev-
erywhere are praising this newer
relief and thanking Grandma for
her idea that is switching habits of

Civic Club Calls Mass
Meeting at BremertOn

The Puget Sound Civic Society
in Bremerton will conduct a mass
meeting at the Recreation Center
of Sinclair Heights Sunday af-
ternoon, February 20. The gen
eral subject will be the discus
sion and organization of a cam
paign to morally combat the
growing spirit of Jim Crowism
and discrimination in the North
west and specifically in Brem-
erton, where more than 1000
Negro-Americans are loyalty and
unreservedly giving themselves to
the war effort.
The efforts of the Civic So
eiety will be to plan and instruct
against improper conduct and
any untoward eventualities that
the present unrest and resent
ment might seem to indicate: and
to approach the problem firmly
but sanely, all with the determi-
nation that the discrimination
signs must go.
Federal agencies will be con-
suited to determine whether any
"subversive influences" may be
directly connected and promoting
this unreasonable antagonism.
The meeting is called and all
square-shooting and straight
thinking Americans are invited
to attend.

James ScavOttO States
Aims and Purposes

James Scavotto promises safe,
patroled streets, amply lighted,
to protect every district at all
hours of the day, if he is elected
mayor. He said Seattle is short
at least 200 policemen. That is
why residential streets are un-
sa efat night for women and
children. In spite of this lack
of neighborhood protection, pa
trolls are sent to war industry
centers to direct traffic each
night between IL o'clock and l
in the morning. This means
plenty of protection at the spots
where women war workers board
the buses and little or no pro-
lection at the places where they
got off the buses.
The city can get state and fed
eral cooperation to stop these
attacks and assaults on our
streets at night asserts Scavotto,
In fact the city has been told
to complete its staff of police
men even If the manbower for
it had to be supplied by the
military. But what has been
done?
'9f ! am elected mayor of Sc
attic this is the first problem l
am going to lick" said Scavotto,
who claimed the city of Seattle
has been nationally disgraced by
the publicity given it on attacks
and assault cases. He added,
There is money available in
state funds that 1 intend to get
for police manpower. And IL ne
cessary I'll resort to the military
to see that Seattle's streets are
patroled frequently enough to
stop this shameful situation"
other community and neigh
borhood improvements Scavotto
intends to secure immediate ac-
tion on, include more comfortable
and better planned housing ia
cilities that will be an asset in
stead of a liability to commune
ties; a progressive public health
program; enforcement of price
control regulations; more and
better located day nurseries and
a supervised round the clock re-
creation program with enlarged
facilities for all ages and groups.

POLITICAL COMMENT
BY J. A. (Jack) JOHNSON


Seattle was host last week to
two outstanding political leaders
Vice President Henry A. Wallace
and Wendell l.. Willkie. The
Vice President delivered a major
address to 5000 people at Civic
Auditorium February 9, while
Mr.. Willkie, prior to making
brief speech, stood in receiving
line and personally greeted an
enthusiastic crowd of 1000 at
Masonic Temple February 10.
There is little to choose between
these two great Americans in po-
litical philosophy, vision and sim
eerety of purpose. Wallace won
the attention of the masses two
years ago when he delivered a
great speech: "A free or a slave
world" and coined the phrase
century of the common man.
Mr.. Willkie, the author of one
of the best books published in a
decade "one World" has by his
dynamic personality, the firmness
of his convictions and outspoken
conclusions, won the admiration
of many voters who opposed him
four years ago. Both are emf.
nently fitted by temperament and
training for the presidency of tht
United States. Both have en-.
visioned that a civilization reek
ing with wars, race hatred anC
prejudice must at last become
stagnant and useless and tbs
eraser of revolution, evolution Of
dissolution will eventually rub i
