What is the use some say in a world of war, economic hardship and oownright heathen morals, to torment our individual consciences we can not be good Christians say many, until we have a good world. Well, there is some truth in this statement, but brother, sister; this I does not cover the ground. We must not stop there.

Nor– ton, James Scavotto and Judge William F. Devin. mayoralty candidates are: John N. Sylvester The candidate, John N. Sylves– ter, is well known to most of our readers. He was graduated from Garfield High School and for a . period of five years acted as Ath– letic Instructor at Broadway play– field. Mr. Sylvester was elected to the I State Legislature the first -time in 1936. He was reelected from the 37th District in 1938, and during the 1939 session was honored by the ninety-nine representatives from all parts of our state in be– ing chosen Speaker of the House, a position second in importance I only to that of the governor dur– ing the legislative sessions. Our people may recall that Mr. Sylvester, as a legislator and as Speaker of the House was largely responsible for the defeat of the nefarious miscegenation law. He at all times championed the cause of progress as against laws for the benefit of any class, creed or poUt– leal party. His support is rapidly growing in that large groups of citizens who believe his splendid record in community and civic affairs, his training a.Iid experience, and his energy as a public offictal stamp him as the logical candidate to head the government of our city. Dick Wilson, one of the finest saxophone players in Andy Kirk's big band, is a product of Seattle. A fine musician in his own right, like Roland Hayes and Marion An– derson, he had to leave his own surroundings to win national ac– claim. Today he is rated high in the world of musicians wherever a sax is played. Many of his Se– attle friends are making up wel– come parties for his Seattle ap– pearance. • It was night.
