Adding interest to the coming
primary election for the office of
City Commissioner is the decision
of George E. Graham to run as an
Independent Write-In Candidate.
Graham is running on a Four

ton of a new City Department to
be headed by an expert in the field
of Public and Business relations,
whose assignment will be to CO.
ordinate the efforts of groups such
as, the Chamber of Commerce,
Employment Security Commission,
and other agencies who are aware
that the future employment status
for Phoenicians is not as bright as
it could be.

not be encouraging next year un-

Wilson Presents
Election PROGRAM

ga Peoples Program for Prog
ress and Democracy, For a Better
Phoenix" is the slogan of Karl M.
Wilson, candidate for city commits
sioner. His platform is built around
the needs of the people of Phoe-
nix today. Living standards, l1ous-
ing, fair employment practices,
civil rights and return to five
cent street car and bus fare" are
among the questions contained in
Wilson's program.
Wilson has stated: "Phoenix
needs a Fair Employment Practice
law similar to those passed in Chi
cago, New York, st. Louis and
many other cities. A FEPL would
prohibit job discrimination because
of race, color or religion. Job dis
elimination "last hired, first
fired"-for years has been the lot
of Negro and Mexican-American." ;"
Wilson believes that in view of in
creasing unemployment, "protec-
tive legislation such as FEPL is
imperative. Racial discrimination

who wish to destroy democratic

ested in bringing to Phoenix small
businesses such as light manufac-
turing and assembling and other
businesses of that type, that may
employ upward from so employees
on a year round basis.
He believes that this new de-
partment should make every eff
fort to encourage small business
now located in other parts of the
country to operate in this area,
taking advantage of our year round
fine climatic conditions and also
of our especially large labor pool.
Graham says further that youth
now finishing their education will
not have the opportunity they de-
serve to enter a business career in
Phoenix unless program of this
sort is inaugurated. It will simply
be a question of searching other
parts of the country for employ
ment opportunities.
Other parts of Graham's pro-
gram includes a strong efficient
health department, a "do now" pro-
gram for the South Side, and a
combination of all other obvious
problems confronting the city.

The Zeta Phi Beta Sorority who
will celebrate Finer Womanhood
week Feb. 2O-24, chose as the out
standing woman of the community,
Mrs. Jessie James of 1918 E. Wash
ington st.
Mrs. James was chosen by the
Sorority for her worthwhile con-
tribution to the community back
through the years.
Her contribution to Phoenix is
far too great to be summed up in
mere words. She is one of Phoenix's
pioneers in educational, Civic, Po-
litical and Religious movements.
AS a result of hand bill spon-
sored by her asking for Justice and
Equal Accommodations along edu-
cational lines for all races at
Pubs, Carver High was construct
ed.
A sponsor of Amendment H. r..
IS Equal accommodation for
children of African race in public
schools of Arizona" which was
passed.
Through her efforts Negro youth
were permitted to attend Arizona
State School at Tempe. Her son
was the first Negro student to en-
ter.
Mrs. James was the first presi-
dent of the Parent-Teacher Associ-
alton of Douglas Elementary, the
first Negro school. During her
presidency she sponsored a kinder
garten paying the teachers salary
by selling hot lunches to school
children.
AS civic leader she has scaled
many heights first president of the
City Federation of Colored Women
Club, instrumental in the purchase
of Phyllis Wheatley Community
Center during her term of office;
as president of State Federation
she untiringly worked in many Red
Cross drives and during the de-
preston her time and heart were
given to the underprivileged.
Mrs. James is responsible for the
Arizona Republic and Gazette open
ing its door to Negro youths as
carriers.
She has served as president of
Colored Women's Republican Club
and given support in other worth
