STAND BY THE
RED CROSS DRIVE

Many men and women now
claiming leadership are called up
on to head individual drives and
help put the RED CROSS DRIVE
OVER. There is Rev. e. B. Will
son, who is in a position to lead
the field; Rev. R. A. Washington
should be close second; w: Ar
thur Dixon, always in the lead,
carries a large financial follow
ing; Fred U. Harris, the man who
claims to be the man with the
greatest following in the state,
should come through with a
heavy donation.
Among the ladies, Mrs. Asher
ry. Mrs. Gilmore, Mrs. McCabe,
Mrs. Helen Stafford and Mrs.
Wortha Hamilton should each
lead the ladies of the city by
raising a large donation.
Tacoma has been very kind to
those named above in many ways
and close on to $500 should be
added to the RED CROSS funds
by this groups efforts in the
drive. 1t must be remembered
that the services rendered by the
RED CROSS in its field cannot
be given by any other agency for
the benefit of those who are in
need the most. Can we check
these names after the drive is
over? THE NORTHWEST EN-

international
justification

Reason for Fair Employment
Practices legislation (the third OF
three reasons: Moral, Economic
and internationally:
We, in the United States of
America, are the last stronghold
of the democratic way of life. The
people of the rest of the world
are watching our great political
experiment in democracy for
guidance in the way of life they
will choose. We are struggling,
and against great odds, for moral
leadership Of the world. The
greatest weapon we have is the
prestige that our democracy and
freedom give us. This prestige is
greatly endangered by disparity
between our spoken principles of
equality, justice, and a chance for
all, and our actual treatment of
members of minority groups.
Our behavior toward our darker
citizens Is we'll known the world
over. 1t represents us to the rest
of the world as fraudulent and in
sincere.
Fair Employment Practices leg
islation is the last thing that the
Communists want to see enacted.
They trade on chaos and human
misery. Anything which will i'm
prove the lot of the downtrodden
and make democracy more effec-
tive is a blow at Communism.
The great hope that Americans
of all political persuasions hold in
common is for a peaceful world
In which we can live and bring up
our children. There are many
avenues to peace that seem closed
now, but there are still many ways
that are open. Any legislation
that extends democracy for our
citizens strengthens our nation,
and makes our future more Sc
cure.

UNCLE JOE KICKED

against Communism we could

David Robinson, Portland attor-
ney who led the fight of the Citi-

MANY people have come to real
ize the spread between our demo-
cratic principles and their prac-
tice." he said. He declared 1t
gratifying to see man men who
had been opposed to the measure
voting for 1t in response to the
desires of their constituents, the
little fellows and the Joe Doaks."

dramatic with only Representative
John Hounsell, Hood River Re-
publican, voicing opposition.
Speaking as an orchardist who has
had to supply separate living ia
cilities for Negros, Indians and
whites, he said employers who
supply housing should be exempt
ed as we'll as employers of fewer

agreed with the theory of the bill.

BLUE HENS TO
PLAY ROLLINS
Game To Be Played At Della
ware Park Saturday
Evening
LOSE TO BUCKNELL

After running into Tartar last
Saturday in the camp of the Buck
nell University Bisons, the Blue
Hens of the University of Delaware
will be spending busy week in an
effort to correct their mistakes in
time for the clash with the Tars
of Rollins College this Saturday
evening in Wilmington Park. Still
licking their wounds after seeing
the laundering Herd snap their in
Tant two-game winning streak, the
Birds are expected to get an over
dose of work on the blocking
machinery for the next few days
in order to insure something better
in the way of offensive tactics for
the Tar clash.
Never one to alibi away defeat,
coach Bill Murray readily admitted
that his Birds had it coming. It
was apparent that they couldn't
stand prosperity, for the Bisons al
most completely neutralized their
usually potent ground attack by
out-charging the Flock throughout
the afternoon. The ninety yards
that the Hens did manage to wiring
out of the rugged Herd line repre-
sented the lowest mileage in this
column for the Hens since well be-
fore the war.
One of the bright spots in the
dismal afternoon was the passing
of quarterback Charley Smith. The
much improved junior kept the
Hens in the game with six compile
tions in twelve attempts under con-
stant pressure from the Bucknell
line, and the 313 yards he has ac-
cumulated in three games to date
already tops the total for the COM
plete 1948 season.
When the Birds face Joe Justices
Tars this weekend, it will be the
third meeting between these two
teams. The rivalry began back in
1947 when the Flock was invited
to the Cigar Bowl clash on New
Years Day to meet the Rollins
eleven, and the rivalry was renew
ed again last fall at Orlando. The
Bowl game went to the Hens 21-7,
and Murray's lads repeated last
fall, 14-13. Justice has assembled
another crack eleven this season
after replacing Jack MacDowall as
head coach, and unless the Blue
Hens can improve on their per-
Torrance of last weekend, they can
expect a rugged evening from the
FIoridians.
Two injuries at the position Sat-
urday leave gaping hole at the
offensive left guard spot. Tom Silk
suffered a slight shoulder separa-
tion and Milt Keene a ragged cash
over the eye, and if these two are
unavailable Saturday, it will mean
that co-captain Jack Miller will
have to serve on both the offensive
and defensive units.
