Support Voiced
For Urbon League

A suggestion by some Commun-
ity Chest leaders that the budget
of the Urban League be trimmed
as an economy measure brought a
reply from George D. Dysart,
Racial Relations Committee Chair
man for the American Veterans
Committee, that the leagues work
should be expanded, not cur
tailed"
THE Urban Leagues work in
combating the cancer of racial
discrimination in our community
fully justifies every penny of its
small share of the Community
Chest fund.-" Dysart's statement
said.
while it is true that the Urban
Leagues ALLEGATION of Chest funds
has increased threefold in the past
ten years, it is also true that Port
lands Negro population has in
creased skiold in that time"

Politics

Oregon's Democratic leadership,
which has been critical of the Iii
beralism" of Republican Senator
WAYNE Morse for several months,
needed him anew Sunday but the
Senator, as usual, had an answer.
Monroe Sweetland, Democratic
National Committeeman, rebuked
Morse for the selection of Banker
e. C. Summons as his campaign
treasurer for the 1850 elections.
Sweetland said the selection of
Summons, who is president OF
Portlands United States National
Bank, as Morse's treasurer marks
a new low in the decline of the one
time liberal senator" Sweetland
said that formerly Morse built up
a reputation as a pro-labor liberal
senator-now one of Oregon's anti
labor leaders is to pay the fiddler
and presumably call the tune"
Morse replied that Sammons
has been one of the great builders
of Oregon. He is one of the pro-
gressive, liberal-minded, forward
looking Republicans of our state.
His work as a member of the Port
land labor-management committee
has won for him the respect of
labor and his many public services
in behalf of all the people have
won for him the admiration of Ore
gonians generally"

THANKS

The Coop wishes to thank it's
many friends, members and sister
clubs for making its Annu a !
Christmas Bazaar such a huge sue
cess. The rummage sale, under the
direction of Mrs. Gertrude Day and
Zenobia Harris, was the most pop
ular spot; but the home-baked and
handmade candies ran them
close race, with Mrs. Matte Locke,
Estella Downing. Iva L. Pope and
Clifford Dixon as attendants. The
Art Department had a beautiful
display. Mrs. Texanna Fisher, Hen
rietta Marshall, Mayme Stanton
and Martha M. Payne had charge
of this department.
The club president, Mrs. Ruth
Flowers, graciously helped in every
department. Coffee and cake was
served all afternoon to visitors and
members. The delicious cake was
donated by Mrs. Robena Martin.

Discrimination

To the acknowledgement:
Our country is called demo-
cratic nation, land of the free,
and many other glorious adjectives.
However, I am beginning to feel
that we are undeserving of these
superiatives. You see. I went into
a restaurant in Portland that prac-
ticed racial discrimination.
I play on the csc soccer team.
Last Sunday, we played a game in
Portland. After the game, we went
to a certain restaurant in Portland
because it was highly recommend
ed to us. We were refused service
in this restaurant because there
was a colored boy with us. A boy
from South Africa. to be exact.
A boy good enough to attend a
school where white people attend,
but not good enough to eat with
me according to the standards OF
this restaurant. ask you, Is this
fair? Is 1t right that just because
his skin is dark he is refused
privileges that are granted to me :?
Isn't his money as good as mine :?
II bet he earned it a lot more
honestly than a lot of white
people.)
Our soccer team is highly cos
mopolitan. We have boys from all
over the world playing on it. These
boys are forming poor opinions OF
the United States just because of
things like the above happening.
They take these opinions back to
their countries. This is just what
the Communists want. It is good
for their propaganda.
I, for one, refuse to go to any
restaurant or any other place OF
business that practices racial dis
elimination.

Worry Mokes Disease

Suppose a man has an uneasy
sensation in the locality of his
heart which is due. let US say, to
overeating or to gas in the stom-
ach. But he begins to think that
he has heart disease. He reads the
advertisements in the newspapers
to learn about the symptoms. and
he learns about them.
IA sense of construction about
the chest" Yes, that is his diff
Guilty exactly! Slight pain on deep
breathing. palpitation of the heart
after vigorous exercise" 1t Is evil
IDENTIFY a serious easel He begins to
worry about it. Worry interferes
with his sleep. It interferes also
with his digestion; he does not get
well-nourished.
Lack of sleep and Indigestion
make him worse and worse. Each
one aggravates the other, and al
the time he keeps thinking about
his heart. In the end. his thinking
actually affects it's condition. until
he succeeds on fastening on him
self a functional difficulty which
may be a really serious and per-
manent trouble-and the whole o.
it can be traced back to his
crooked thinking about the little
pain in his chest.
This is no parable. It Is the
record of hundreds of actual cases.
Every physician comes into con-
tact with them.
A man who keeps worrying
about the state of his liver will
almost be sure to have trouble
with it eventually. Indigestion can
be brought on in the same way,
and long list of other ailments.

GOD KNOWS
BY j. r. Miller

BY j. II. mlller
He knows the bitter, weary way,
The endless strivings day by day,
The souls that weep,
The souls that pray,
He knows.
He knows how hard the fight hath
been,
The clouds that come our lives be-
tween,
The wounds the world
Hath never seen,
He knows.
He knows when, worn and faint,
we sink;
How deep the pain, how near the
brink
OF dark despair
We pause and shrink,
He knows.
He knows, oh thought so full of
blissl
For though on earth our joys we
miss,
We still can bear it,
Knowing this:
He knows.

much talk about sex.
Simply looking at one manifes-
tation of social Reorganization,
such as sex crimes. and trying to
understand it is somewhat like
looking at one piece Of a jig-saw
puzzle and trying to decide what
picture it makes. Before the pic
ture becomes clear. many pieces
must be fitted together.
What are these pieces and what
is the picture they make? The
pieces are various individual NAL
adjustments. of which sex crimes
Is only one. which grow to such
proportions that they create So
cial cancers. The picture is one of
a society which, through its I'M
sound social structure and its de-
fective family life. provides the
circumstances which create NAL
adjustments.
For example. many authorities
believe that individuals who exhibit
racial and religious intolerance so
violently that they become social
menaces are often persons who
have been so mistreated BY others
in the process of growing up that
they feel frustrated, hostile and
aggressive toward people. They
may take out their feeling of OPP
preston in intolerances toward
someone else.
Lynching parties, it has been
noted, are commonly composed of
of depraved and frustrated persons.
One writer comments: 'Lynchings
afford the poor whites their one
opportunity to avenge themselves
for the aggregation and misery OF
their own position-they can vent
all their stored-up resentment with
out fear of the other whites. but
rather with their tacit consent.
Chronic alcoholism is now said
to be an illness rather than deli
berate misbehavior. This statement
is based on a growing awareness
that-ssthe alcohol addict is usually.
If not invariably, disturbed per-
sonality." The pattern of such
personality is laid in unhappy and
distorting experiences of the in
dividual in his early small groups,
particularly the family. The same
is true for drug addiction.
Juvenile delinquency has tradi-
tionally been associated with poor
and broken homes, and defective
communities. Studies of sexually
promiscuous individuals show that
many such persons come from
homes broken by divorce, distorted
by conflict, or other unsatisfactory
family relationships.
Individuals who achieve marital
success tend to come from good
homes themselves. Those who have
difficulty achieving marital success
are often those whose personal adj
justn1ents have. been warped by
poor home environments.
A study of chronic invalids, those
who remain sick even though there
is nothing organically wrong, show
that parental over-protection, cruel
and sadistic methods of punish
ment, and lack of love and secur-
ity in childhood seem to be the
causes of chronic invalidism.
1t is not sex crimes that we have
with us. It is intolerance, alcohol
ism, drug addiction. juvenile delin-
quency, sexual promiscuity, mari
tai failures, chronic invalidism, and
other difficulties, too.
They will be with us until we
take seriously the problems which
face us in building sound social
structure, in preparing people for
effective family life, and making it
r,ossihla for them to live it.
