cording to Charles Mitten, chair

"The citizen title is conferred an
nualy on the individual contribut-
ing most to Mesa's welfare and
development.
"Miss Johnson was selected on the
first ballot taken by committee
composed of five former Citizens of
the Year, including F. H. Patterson,
Alma Blue, Virgil Crismon, Clara
B. Emmett, and Dwight Patterson.
Mitten, who presided over the ses-
sion as permanent chairman, did
not vote.
"Principal of Washington since
1945, Miss Johnson first came to
Mesa as a school teacher in 1881
at the age of 18. She holds a de-
gree of Bachelor of Science from
the Texas A. & M. from which she

versity of Southern California, and
Arizona State College at Tempe
Her fields of specialization are
guidance and elementary school
administration.
"She holds membership in Kappa
Delta Pi, national honorary educa-
ton society, and is secretary of the
Phoenix Urban League board of di-
rectOrs which is headed by Clar-
ence Salisbury.
During the year, Miss Johnson
actively participated in the Com
munity Chest and Red Cross fund
drives.
"Commenting on the selection, F.
H. Patterson stated, Perhaps more
than any other of the many contri-
buttons she has made, Miss Johnson
has done most to keep down Ju-
venile delinquency among the
Negro people of Mesa. She under

Recognized as an elder states
man in race relations, Mr.. Jones,
who graduated from Virginia Union
and Cornell Universities, and hon
ored by his alma mater, Virginia
University, with an LID degree,
began his professional career as a
schoolteacher in Louisville, Ky.
His social work contributions be-
gan with a report on the Negro
community of New York. The Ma
tional Urban League was the first
national social work agency which
developed a policy regarding labor.
During his very active life, he
held many important positions in
the field Of social work, civic and
governmental agencies.
At the time of Mr.. Jones retire
ment in 1850, he reported on the
progress in race relations which he
had seen during his lifetime and
stated: Much Of it resulted not
from mass pressure or political
compromise, but from the pres
sure of logic, understanding good
will and common sense"
For the past ten years, Mr..
Jones had been a winter visitor to
Arizona, especially the Valley Of
the Sun. He referred to Phoenix as
Gods country" among his associ-
|ates in the East. He might be
termed the founder of the Phoenix
Urban League and the Tucson Ur-
ban League Council, since it was
through his untiring efforts during
his visits each year that these two
affiliates became established. Each
winter, the friends of the Urban
Leagues of the two cities would
look forward to his counsel and
guidance, and new impetus and
vision would result from Mr.. Jones
