Lewis Described by members of the Prosecuting Attorney's office, as possibly being a disgruntled former employe who evidentally had an old mailing list of subcribers, someone with an axe to grind has been calling and insulting subscribers and advertisers of the Northwest Enterprise. Throughout the past week a female voice, believed by police to be a tool of someone, has called the homes of subscribers, and in avery insulting voice demanded them to pay their subcription or else the paper will be stopped. Many of the subscribers have called the office and have been relieved to find out that their paper is still published and edited by gentlemen and ladies. The Enterprise wishes at this time to emphasize the fact that NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN CALLED ON THE PHONE RELATIVE TO THEIR SUBCRIPTION OR AD BEING DUE. The only contact made has been tiu:ough U .. mail;:;. This is of course since the Enterprise was purchased by John 0. Lewis, publisher of the Negro Buyers Guide. The only members of the staff that have access to the records are the Editor and the Associate Editor Mrs. Bertha M. Lewis. We want to thank the public and our subscribers for the cooperation that they have shown us. Also for the kind manner in which they called to ascertain the correctness of these mysterious phone calls. To those of the community who do not know us personally, and our bonds of friendship are cemented through the columns of the paper, for a reccommendation we are happy to offer your Minister, or any one of the Ministers in our great city. We kn9w them all. · In the future if any on~ is ~ver bothered we sincerely ask that in the name of fair play contact our office at once, and help us to apprehend the culprit. So far this annoyance has acted as a boomerang for it has served to bring the publishers of your paper and the _Public closer. By closer relations we learn how best to serve our readers, our race, and our community. (Signed) John 0.

In the new mayor Arthur B. Langlie we have a clean cut young man who in the opinion of this paper will endeavor to serve the people of the city of Seattle efficiently and honestly. We believe that Mr. Langlie will have an attentive ear for the pecular problems that are the Negro's. Vic Myers, the defeated candidate, is a popular person will all classes. He had many obstacles to overcome during the campaign just passed. First of all he was the target for the red-bating of his opponents that resorted to that kind of a campaign. Then too he definitely represented one group of people, and many who advocated a middle of the road policy were a bit dubious of his policies being equitable to all of the people. Rich man and poor man alike. ' If Vic Meyers had of been elected instead of Arthur. Langlie, the Negro citizen would have possessed a champion of their rights in the mayor's office. The past actions of the Lieutenant-<S-overnor have proved that he believes in equal rights for all citizens. His part in having the nefarious Anti-Marriage bill formally withdrawn is Washington State history. This bill sponsored each term of the legislature by supposedly 'better citizens', if ever passed would establish a' precedent in our fair state for discrimination in many places. In the council the election of Mrs. Powell, who had the support of all factions former councilman John E. Carroll,. and Samuel Humes we have a group that will work harmoniously. We feel that those who opposed the successful candidates will lend their aid, to give the victors every opportunity to place their program into operation. We hope that the citizens who did not support the winners will give their moral and other support. · Negro voters supported all candidates, and every elected official is indebted for race support. The race was extraordinarily active this election because aside from the general issues at hand, the mistreatment of Negroes when arrested by certain elements in the police force is not a forgotten issue Some of the largest mass meetings that have ever been held in the city since the advent of radio were held this year. Every citizen wanted to know what was going to be done about the way our people have been handled. We believe that theJ;e will be many improvements, including the proper handling of our people by certain members of the police department. Keep Off April 29 Banquet and Floor Show Mt. Rainier Chpt.

Each year, egg production starts into an upswing just before spring is officially with us. And during the four months after that the hens rustle about in the open and lay as many eggs as they do in all the other Inonths of the year put together. Since the beginning of the new season last November, egg supplies have been considerably above the average and prices have been unusually low. Specifically, the food value of an egg lies in its protein, its minerals and its vitamins. Eggs are very rich in iron, a mineral we often lack in our diets. Egg protein is of high quality - the efficient kind necessary in the structure of body tissues. Eggs are also an excellent source of vitamin A and they contain vitamins B, G, and D. The vitamin D content varies considerably, from high to low, depending upon the food the hen eats. Eggs are a good source of calcium and are very rich in phosphorus. In cooking eggs and egg dishes temperature is most important. When the protein in egg is heated it coagulates or becomes firm. If this heating takes place slowly, the eggs will be tender when they are done. But with temperature high, the protein in them shinks and makes the eggs tough. Good cooks have various ways of controlling the temperature. If they are making an omelet for instance, they may use a smooth, heavy pan over low heat. A double boiler is necessary for other mixtures cooked on top of the stove. If the mixtures in the boiler is a soft-custard the water in the lower part must be below rathef- than at the boiling point. To keep a baked custard or a souffle at this constant temperature, put it on a rack in a pan of hot water. The over temperature is moderate. Following is a recipe for Hollandaise sauce that may be kept over and reheated. It is also good sen:ed over asparagus, broccoli, green cabbage, or other green spring vegetables. Hollandaise Sauce 4 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons le1non juice, 112 cup butter, 14 teaspoon salt, Dash of cayenne, '\4 cup boiling water. Divide the butter into three portions. Beat the egg yolk and lemon juice together, add one piece of butter, and cook in a double boiler, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the stove, add a second piece of butter, and stir rapidly. Then add the remaining butter, and continue to stir until the mixture is completely blended. Add the salt, cayenne, and boiling water. Return to the double boiler, and stir until the sauce thickens. Keep Date May 2nd May Festival-Dance Dr. F. B.

FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1938 Mrs. Kathryn G. Bogle Editor Office: 2637 S. E. Tibbetts St. Phone: Sellwood 6571 THE NORTHWEST ENTERPRISE Dr. Pickens Is Girl Scouts Greet 1 Local Girl Writes Portland Guest Mrs. Herb. Hoover Cah On Tour By HEK Page Three Covers Portland And the State of Oregon Deadline for News: Tuesdays, Noon "Round the Town~~ Debutante Parade Is Smashing Hit With a record of successes behind them, Klub Kredyefawn members had to hang out their "Standing Room Only' 'sign when they presented their new success, "Debutante Parade," Friday evening, at the Williams Aye. Y. Dr. William Pickens, field secretary for the NAACP was in the city from Seattle for a brief stay at the week's end. Saturday evening he was principal speaker for the Public Forum held at the Central Library. "Lincoln the Statesman - Lincoln the Man" was his subject. Eleven young girls, members of the Pioneer Girl Scout troup took part in the evening's entertainment planned to welcome Mrs. Herbert Hoover Friday at the exclusive Waverly Country Club. The girls, coached in their singing by Mrs. Zepha Baker, sang three spirituals. This colored troup was one of the two selected to meet Mrs. Hoover. The former First Lady shook hands with each of them. The girls have been asked to broadcast over the radio during National Girl Scout week which will be soon. Mrs. Francis Williams is the leader for the Pioneer troup. The Sunday Oregonian demonstrated its fairness, and Miss Juanita Johnson again displayed her ability to weild a courageous pen, when the paper carried an article, "The Negro Speaks of Faith" written by Miss Johnson for its magazine section of March 6. The article was a gem, beautifully writ ten with well chosen words, carrying a clear message that was undeniably appealing. Miss Johnson, well known for her poetry, some of which she has allowed the Enterprise to print, is to be highly commended for her excellent piece of work and should be encouraged to repeat such telling strokes as her article in the fight for freedom for her race. The Rev. George S. Allen, pre-· siding elder of Puget Sound con-I ference ,preached in Helena Wednesday evening at St. James A. M. E. church. with Frank Fair Divided into three parts, the young people's presentation included a night club scene, a radio broadcasting studio, and the topping and decoration of the evening, the Debutante Parade, itself. At two tables on the stage, nestled in the palms night club fashion, sat d Flowers and Llo~ Gaskin eac With a a fair. Rob- ~~e was master of ceremorl-' ies introducing each performer. Billed as "Bernice and Bernice," Bernice Williams and Bernice Washington, harmonized their voices pleasingly as they sang. Young Alphonso Scruggs headed the trio of little dancers who tapped out their rhythms and went into the "Big Apple." "True Confession" was the number Betty Watson chose to sing in her sweet soprano. Eunis Mott, with the elasticity of youth, went completely sophisticated and in her best Helen Morgan manner whispered "Worried Over You" till everyone in the audience with "jitterbug" leanings clamored for more. Accompanying all this was a swing band with Donald Anderson and Sydner Porter taking turns at the piano. Station WEEP gave the audience a peep into their studio as Clifford Bell announced each radio artist. First there was Doris Jamieson in a hilarious characterization of Tizzie Lish. Delores Caldwell was called back for a second broadcast of her hit tune, "I Double Dare You." Billy Bell, remembered for his comely role in "Here Comes Charley" gave potentional gardeners helpful ( ?) advice and hints on gardening. As "Uncle Billy," Fred Flowers told the kiddies of radioland bed-time stories. Josephine Dancy, well known reader gave '·elevator girl · most entertainingly and Jessie Flowers read several short humorous sketches. Three youngsters, Benjamin Webb and two winsome little girls, Naomi Webb and Edith Jackson stopped the show as they sang spirituals in response to an insistent audience. Little Bera-Katherine Bruce filled her difficult spot on the program with the poise of a professional. She sang "Gold Mine in the Sky" her voice soaring to top - notes with ease. An unscheduled performance, but no whit less enjoyed by the audience was the nonchalant "dancing" of that adorable toddler Bi'lly Rutherford, who let everybody know that he approved the _music. Gorgeously gowned in shimmering satin and rhinestones and exquisitely coiffed, Miss Daisy Lee Wright, Klub Kredyeufawn president, introduced each of the eight girls in the Debutante Parade. The Misses Eunis Mott, Jessie Flowers, Elizabeth Thomas, Bernice Williams, Doris Jamieson, Bettu Watson, Bernice Washington, and Josephine Dancey were girlishly charming each in her individual loveliness, as they received the plaudits of the crowd. Crowned queen of the Kredyeufawns was Miss Bernice Williams, who was winner in a contest in connection with the affair. Drawn Returning next Saturday, March 12, Dr. Pickens will again speak at the Central Library. "Is the Negro an American" is the interesting title to his discussion for the date. Though there were a number of Negroes present in the audience last Saturday, it was the hope of Dr. Pickens and of Mr. Edgar Williams, president of the local branch of the NAACP, that there would be many more on March 12 and at the other public forums that follow.

(Calvin Service) Christian Index Defends Joe Louis JOE LOUIS The return to the city of Dr. William Pickens, field secretary for the National Association for the advancement of colored people has the community buzzing with anticipation. It is remembered that on former visits, Dr. Pickens has always been a very popular speaker.
