"a young veteran, on his first
real accounting job.
Early in 1916, shortly after his
army discharge, John Cooper pack
ed away his khaki, put on his
civilian suit and visited the USES
offices in New York City. He
wanted a job-a job as an Ac-
countant. He had no pull, no
contacts" He was a trained Ac
countant, asking for job ON his
ability to do it. When he was
told by the interviewer that an
Accountant was needed at the
United Nations headquarters, he
went right away. He didn't stop
to ask himself, "Will they want

WHY NOT LODGE
OF JUNIOR ELKS?
By s. L.

1t Is refreshing to know. even
though influenced by grand Off
cials, there is hope OF reorganiz-
ing the Junior Elks.
There Will come a time when
our adults will dispense. wander
or pass beyond this veil. Parents
prepare for the future of their
children. 80 must we prepare for
the future of our boys. 80 that in
days to come they may take over
our place. For the boy there can
be no better assurance.
Under the Rev. Judson Swancy,
chief ruler. the boys will be
taught self reliance, to handle
themselves like little men,, to
learn to talk In public. how to
conduct a meeting, to receive
training and really be ready to
become adult Elks.
Unless our great order is to
eventually lose its present rating,
we must draw a circle about our
juniors and prepare them for the
future.

Mr.. Clifford c. Walker.

Mr.. Clifford G. Walker,
Dear Sir:
1t has come to my attention
that the Progressive Democratic
Club of Portland is planning to
choose a Portland Negro first
citizen for 1916.
l would be negligent of my
duty as a citizen and an employ
er II did not fully acquaint
you with the facts surrounding the
outstanding progress made by
Stanley A. Jordan here in Port
land and particularly his record
with our firm and other interests
we, and others, have together.
Mr.. Jordan applied to me for
work back in 1913. He had just
been honorably discharged from
the army after serving nearly
one and one-half years.
His home previously had been
in Moscow. Idaho but during the
early part of the war his mother
had moved to Portland and that
is how he migrated here after
his discharge.
He had owned a fine motorcycle
up in Idaho and while walking
by our plant he noticed we used
motorcycles in the operation of
our business and that, really,
caused him to stop and inquire
for work. He would have liked
to have started driving one for
us but our local union would not
permit it. We, however, did offer
him work in our service depart
ment. This was our beginning and
since 1943 Mr.. Jordan has made,
by his own efforts, one of the
finest records of any one in our
organization. Starting at the bot
tom, so to speak, he has raised
himself up to the highest point
of respect and appreciation among
all our employees and customers
and many Of our associated bus
mess firms.
His workmanship, personality
and moral character have gained
him the following. He was made

LOCAL FIRM NAMES STANLEY JORDAN
PORTLAND NEGRO FIRST CITIZEN

Assistant Service Station Manager
during the latter part of 1913. In
the early part of 1914. he was
advanced to Manager of the same
station, which he still manages.
We are able to say with pride
that he has made it the best one
of our six stations, both in volume
and profit.
He now has become a partner
or share holder in all of our
stations He has secured for him
self good share of stock in our
delivery business and was made
member of the Board of Direct
ors in 1916 of this same firm.
In 1916. we attended his marri-
age In San Francisco to his won
derful young wife, Earleta. This
was the finest wedding l have
ever attended and will remain a
high light in my life time.
I do not know what points
your organization uses to pick
your first citizen but I do know
that men of Mr.. Jordan's charact-
er, ambition and enterprise will
build the highest respect and CO
operation from the rest of the
people regardless of color.
These are true facts that have
happened here in Portland and
think proves that it can be done
and Mr.. Jordan should be a great
inspiration to the whole colored
race. If each colored man built
his character, ambition and en-
terprise along his line of thought,
there will be a definite improve
ment and acceptance of the Negro
race.
Hoping these remarks will be of
value in weighing your choice,
am
Sincerely yours,

CONTROLLING THE
FLOODS OF HATRED
BY RUTH TAYLOR

When the SHOWS melt ON the
far off mountain tops and the
spring rains begin to fall, then
those who dwell by the great
rivers watch for flood waters.
What may be life-giving to great
parts of our land are devasting
torrents to other sections. Flood
control is a vital subject to those
who dwell in the lowlands through
which the rivers course.
The government engineers have
made great strides in averting the
the damage of flood. They have
built great walls to wall off the
rivers; they have reforested great
tracts of land to absorb the ex-
cess water; they have built great
dams to hold back the torrents
and to control their flow into
other areas so they may fertile
great wastes.
All this is most essential - but
even more necessary today is a
system of hate control. In time
of peace, our unity of purpose
no longer seems vitality essential.
AS a result there is growing in
this land of ours increasing hat
red and bitterness between groups.
Shall we let this flood warp and
destroy much of what we hold
dear?
We need to build walls of un.
derstanding to hold the hatreds
out. For mutual understanding
leads to mutual trust and in trust
there is no hate.
We need to reforest the SCARED
places in our minds-scars caused
by hatred, bitterness. despair, and
intolerance to reforest them
with understanding. compassion
friendliness and love.
We need to ram the floods OF
hate with bulwarks of education
education in positive democ.
ratio living, in putting into prac-
tice in our everyday life the things
in which we believe.
We need to divert the stream
of hate into useful channels, con
centrating it on ideals and ideol
ogies, not on peoples or races =
hating only the evil act or quail
ity. Duh hatred must run between
such concrete walls of our wills
that we will not be guilty of either
injustice or intolerance to any
member of any group merely be
cause of his race or creed Oh
color. no more than we would
want him to be guilty of these
towards us. Thus and only thus
can We control the flood waters
of hate.
