been denied them. The Assocla-

The Seattle Branch is organized
and has set up a program that
should have the entire respect
and support of all people. The
local Branch has been able to de-
stroy the appearance of signs that
have been posted in public places
to segregate Negroes; and have
been able to get public service
where the doors would be shut
against them. 1t has corps of
officers and directors who are
alert and are able to prosecute
any case that comes before it in
this county and state.
We are interested in cooperat-
ing with other local Branches of
this state under a regional set-up,
and we are fighting with every
ounce of our strength the vicious
practice of segregation of dis
elimination that is trying to get
football in this state. The
local Branch has been able to in
crease its membership to over
1900, and has opened an office
in the Peoples Bank Building. 1t
has employed one of the most
competent secretaries that could
be obtained and she is doing
fine work in serving the people
to the limit of the Associations
facilities.
In our local program we need
finance to help enlarge our serv-
ice, to help promote our program
and it should be the pleasure of
every Negro in our state and
county, as well as the pleasure of
every well-thinking white person
to contribute largely to the sup
port of the National Association.
If we need finance to prescott
this terrible war, it stand to rea-
son that we need finance to pros
ecute the program of obtaining
full democracy for all the people
If you are investing in Govern
ment securities, and you should
be, it will be of equal advantage
for you to invest in the National
Association program am call
ing on all local American citizens
to help fight with the National
Association to not only improve
conditions for my group, but also
to improve conditions for all
American citizens with whom we
have to live.
Next week l shall write on the
results of the primary election.
