Flowers Are Part
of Yuh Legends

There are several flowers appro-
pirate during the Y17atide season
which are connected with the birth
of Christ by the legends of history.
Sainfoin, or "Holy Hay" is said
to have Graded the infant Christ in
the manger. The snowdrop is the
flower of the Virgin Mary, and is
said to be the emblem of the can
dies she lighted On Christmas.
According to legend, the Christ
mas rose was divinely created. A
shepherd maid wept at having no
gift to lay before the Babe in the
manger. Suddenly an angel ap-
peared to her. On hearing why the
maiden Wept, the angel touched the
ground where her tears had fallen
and Immediately the place was
white with Christmas roses, which
the maid gathered and laid in the
manger.
The chrysanthemum is said to
have appeared first on Christmas
Eve near the manger as a sign to
the Wise Men that they had reached
the spot where the star had hidden
them.

ANTI-DISCRIMINATION
LEGISLATION

Discriminatory practices on the
part of some business man, labor
organizations and employment
agencies have resulted in a loss
Of employment opportunities for
minority groups within this state.
A society embracing peoples of
differing faiths and races is charg-
ed with the fulfillment of the
moral obligation to provide equal
opportunity in employment for all
its citizens. Such discriminatory
practices tend to lower the stand
ards of all society because Of its
failure to utilize the skills and
experience Of minority groups.
The Democratic Party Of King
County recognizes the need for
legislation to correct these evils.
and urges the 1919 session of
the State Legislature to enact
legislation for the State of Wash
ington similar to the New York
INSTRUMENTATION laws.
