(Sponsored by the National Con-
ference of Christians and Jews)
It will come as a distinct sur
prise to many a Christian when
on the Last Day. he confronts as
his judge young man, surpas-
singly handsome. and with a face
that is Enthusiastically Jewish. It's
only natural, especially in these
latter centuries, to identify Chris
tianity with the non-Jewish ele-
men in the world, such that to
say a man is Christian is prac-
tically, by trait very word, to
spot him as a Gentle. or a nom
Jew.
We tend to forget that when
the Wise Men came to Jerusalem
they inquired. Where is he that
is born king of the Jews ?" And
Herod sent them to Bethlehem, the
ancient City of David. where they
found Jesus.
And when the Messiah began
His public life. He surrounded Him.
self with twelve Jews-the Apos-
ties. In fact, 1t was Jew, st.
Paul. who first carried the Gospel
to the Gentiles. It is through him
that the rest Of US have been made
sharers in Gods revelation.
The blessed Virgin Mary, who
was His mother and to whom
Christianity has had such a tender
devotion throughout the ages, was
a Jewess, the daughter of st. Anne
and st. Joachim.
Catholics venerate a Jew. st.

er Jew as his successor.
It was the children of Abraham

Jews. all of them-were Gods
instruments in penning the most
sublime pages of our literature.
They were His people, chosen above
all others. to preserve orthodox
dogma, the concept of an invisible
Creator Of all things. It was
their mission to school the world
in a religion of sacrifice and atone
ment. to sensitize the human con-
science and educate it to ideas Of
justice. truth, and purity.
And they fulfilled their mission
admirably. They had their lapses.

managed to get back on the track.

Citizens Housing Com
mittee Urges All to Vote
For Referendum No. 3

Operating through a number OF
fronts, purporting to represent
home owners. selfish interests are
continuing the battle against Ref
erendum No. 3, in the hope OF
depriving low income families In
minority groups and others of
decent low rent housing.
This warning was issued last
week by Chairman Joseph s. Kane
of the Seattle Citizens Housing
Committee. who said these inter-
ests can only be thwarted by going
to the polls March IA and voting
for Referendum No. 3.
Most vicious of the fronts,
Kane said. is the recently estab-
lished Home Protection Commit
tee" This group has been chal-
lenged to reveal whether It is PRO
tecting'' the kind of homes found
by the Seattle Council of Churches
private housing that was unsan-
itary, filthy and unfit for human
occupancy.
Suggestions advanced by oppos-
ing interests that permanent war
housing units can be turned over
for low rent housing should de-
ceive no one, Kane asserted
Congress has taken no action to
turn them over. They would have
to be purchased by the city, and
continue to be self-supportings
Their rental rates would be out
of the reach of families in greatest
need.

some manner as Yesler Terrace.
there will be no relief for these

tons at prices they can pay. Con-
version Of war housing units Is
not the answer. nor is private
SUM housing.
Every member Of the jackson
Street area who wishes to get fac
tual information on the low rent
housing program should attend
a series Of meetings to be held
in March under the auspices of the
Citizens Committee. Kane said.
A. Douglas Clyde. a member of
the committee and a prominent
Republican leader, win address
Synkoa on Friday, March 8.
Mr.. Clyde also will speak at the
Japanese Baptist church on SUM-
day. March 3.
On March IL. Mr.. Clyde will
appear at the Japanese Methodist
church and the Japanese congre-
gational church. He also is to meet
with Cathay Post of the American
Legion this same Sunday.
The final city election is ON
Tuesday, March II. and that is the
date an affirmative vote on Refer
endum No. 8 can strike a telling
blow for human need as opposed
to human greed. Kane emphasized.

How this hidden tank farm helped keep you warm

A year ago, we completed one of the largest
heating oil tank farms in the country here in
the Northwest simply to make certain
there would be enough oil on hand to meet
any emergency spell of bad weather.
This farm, hidden behind ring of trees
to preserve scenic beauty, with storage ca
paciry of "a, 1876, 900 gallons of oil. went into
operation lot faster than we ever expected.
This winter, one of the severest on record,
these facilities, costing more than I, o00, 900,
helped to do the big job of keeping North
west homes and Office buildings warm.
Of course, these tanks were only one fac
tor in avoiding shortage. Standard Heating
