Cooperation Given
Anti-Di Discrimination

Both employers and employees
are giving voluntary cooperation
to the-new state law against dis
elimination in employment. the
board administering the act re-
ported.
Since the state board against
discrimination in employment be-
gan functioning early in October,
large stores have put members of
racial minority groups on their
clerical stats for the first time.
Glen Mansfield. executive secre-
tary, said.
Personnel
The board, which met in Sc
attic for a day-long session, has
had ID complaints filed with 1t.
mostly against employers, but a
few against unions and one
against an employment agency.
No proven discrimination was
found in five of the cases, Mans
filed said. In seven others, the or
CARNATIONS complained against
have shown willingness to COM
ply with the law. The other three
have been filed with the board so
recently they have not yet been
Investigated.
Chairman of the board, which
has headquarters In the state pa
troll building. 905 Dexter Ave, is
David e. Lockwood, president of
the University Savings and Loan
Association. Other members are:
Mrs. Robert NJ. Jones, Seattle! the
Rev. Mr.. Fountain w. Penick,
pastor of Peoples Institutional
Baptist Church. Seattle; the Rev.
Father Jerome Toner of st. Mar
tins Academy, Olympia; and Rich
ard w. Axtell, Spokane attorney.
Employers, employees and EN-
ployment agencies have all
shown themselves not only WILL
Ing but anxious to comply with
the law which bans discrimina-
tion In employment because OF
race, creed, color or national
origin" Mansfield asserted. "An
that has been necessary has been
to explain to them what the law
requires and what 1t does not
require"
Meetings
The board has held a series of
meetings to explain the workings
of the law to the three groups |
and is planning to hold more |
meetings in Bremerton late this |
month and in Vancouver towards |
the end of January.
Through such meetings has come
the voluntary compliance that has
resulted in the employment of |
members of minority groups as
store clerks. Mansfield pointed out.
The board will meet with the

tees Commission in Portland

Club Announces
Bouquet
Dear Member and Friend:

Dear Member and Friend:
On behalf of the Washington
Social and Educational Club, Inc,
I want to clarity the position of
the Management regarding the
past raid. and on the future policy
of the Club.
The basis of the raid was not due
to the policy of the club, but solely
upon the action of one of the en-
ployees, after six years of contin-
uous operation without ONE blot
to mar our excellent record, until
this unfortunate incident. AS you
no doubt have read In the daily
papers, all persons involved in that
raid who appeared at the trial,
were refunded the money that they
had to post as bail.
We regret sincerely the incon-
venience and embarrassment suf-
fered by those persons who were
involved in the raid. Needless to
say. the Washington Social has
suffered also.
The Club, we are proud to say.
is a Washington State Incorpor-
ated organization. We have assur-
ance that there will not be a
repetition of the above as long as
we abide by the rules and regula-
lions as set forth by the top Off
Gals. THESE RULES WE MUST
ALL OBSERVE!
We urgently are asking for your
support. We desire to make the
Club, again, the fine entertain
ment spot we once knew. We can
only do it with your cooperation.
Your old favorite, Al Hickey, and
his band, is now playing six nights
weekly. Come out and bring your
friends.
Sincerely yours,
Sireless Groves, Pres.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

You see, I'm on somewhat Of a
spot.
As adviser on problems Of ply
sical well-being and youth. II
naturally am expected to be an
example and stay in perfect
health and not grow old.
am willing to let those who
know me judge the effectiveness
with which I carry on my per-
sonal battle for youth-I know II
feel not a day older than did
at is. That's when I'm well, you
understand.
Just few days ago I recovered
from a virus infection. With a
newspaper column to write and
many, many letters from you
readers, I can't afford to relax
too long.
So, I found myself well enough
to be up but physically dragged
down to the point that 1t was .
real effort to stir up the enthu-
siasm I need to inspire you read
ers to tackle your figure and
beauty problems with a deter
mined will. I forced myself to
write that day and my husband
told me, after reading the col
umns, that he thought they were
quite peppy.
am really telling you this
because it seems to me that all
people, at one time or another,
come to an impasse, are faced
with stone wall. Sometimes this
is due to a low state OF health,
to inertia induced by little vitality
or it may come from an emotional
crisis.
In cases like this we do not see
how we are going to do what we
should do. We cannot get 60
ing" again. This is discouragins
and almost frightening. But even
the greatest pain will lessen II
given time. Nature protects Us
with . natural anesthesia for
both physical and emotional SUI
fering.
When you suddenly find your
self lacking in your usual interest
and enthusiasm. try to find the
reason. It may be you aren't
getting enough rest.
Complete relaxation and long
hours of sleep may quickly give
you that old feeling of vigor. It
is amazing how some persons
punish themselves with too little
rest and sleep and then wonder
why they lack vitality. i
Boredom may suddenly engulf
even the most enthusiastic per-
son. At these times we become
inefficient and find ourselves put
ting Of things We should do and
1t seems impossible for US to feel
our usual interest and enthusiasm.
You may be suffering q vitamin
deficiency or you may feel drained
because you have been through q
period of emotional tension and
worry or heavy work.
Check the physical symptoms
with your doctor, but put down
that much-needed rest as the
No. / item. We cannot 60 at
full speed all the time. emotional
ly, mentally or physically. Relax.
Do not fear this state as per-
manent. One day the old vigor
and mental keenness will come
surging back.

US Asked to Probe
Anfi-Union Laws

NEW YORK GPA)-The cot
ton pickers' strike in Central
California is over, but the anti
union ordinances rushed through
during the conflict remain on the
books. The Workers Defense
League, charging that these en-
ployer-instigated ordinances are
unconstitutional and a violation
of civil rights, has called on the
Department of Justice to investi-
gate, with a view to possible fed
eral prosecution.
Rowland Watts, national WDL
secretary, in asking Atty. Gen.
J. Howard McGrath to investi-
gate pointed out that anti-laud-
speaker and anti-caravan ordi-
nances were passed to prevent
the free movement of workers
by auto and to discourage the
holding of public meetings.
The strike, conducted by the
National Farm Labor Union
(AFL), ended with the strikers
defeating a proposed wage cut
by the corporate farm Interests.
