A special meeting was called Tuesday, August 29, for the scaler fo1·eman H. Van Allen to determine whether or not he is mean or hard to get along with, the scalers of course did not attend the meeting and it was rumored that he was on the spot for speaking up for a Negro woman w"orker who was stepped up to the position of leader. Since being a worker under his supervision I have found him to be prejudices, and had followed the old time tradition of segregation and discrimination he probably would have been seen in a different light. But thanks to Van Allen there is no segregation or discrimination in his department, you get what your merit. It would be a better yard if other departmelltS were to pattern their programs after him. I believe I speak for scalers as a whole. I say we want Van Allen. Mrs. Anna Porter has gone to Mrs. Taylor of Bagley Downs.

Preceding Publication Date. Why Should I Register? Surplising as it may seem, there are people who even in this modern age want to know, why they should register. The answer can be summed up in a few words, but surely if they do not already know, then it may take a lot more words and yet they will not know. POiitTLAND INQUIRER LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Sir: Y. T. L. 315 Astoria, Sept. 1, 1944. Enclosed is my check for a year's subscription. The crew and I find your paper most interesting, shortly we will have some very interesting news for you. Thanking you, I remain C. H. Brown, Bm. 1-c. BURTON HOMES NOT TO BE CLOSED It is reliably reported that the Federal Project Burton Homes is not to be evacuated after all. About two months ago, the residents of this project received notice that they would have to move because the Federal Government was to take over this part of Washington.

What have you gained by your talk or you:r complaints, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. You will never gain anything until you, and you and all your friends have REGISTERED. This is for your own good, the good of future generations, your children, your friends' and relatives' children, why is it you cannot see the need for taking part in your government? Is it not clear to you that all the teachings and practices of the South are taking hold right here in Portland and vicinity? Can you not look a little farther ahead and see that unless something is done about it, conditions are going to get a whole lot worse? Now is the time to do something about it. The something to do is get out atnd register. You lazy-bones who have registered and are sitting back taking it easy because you think you have done your part, let me tell you, that it is still part of your job to see that everybody you know and some of those you don't know get out and get registered. Appoint yourself a committee of one and ask all your neighbors if they are REGISTERED. While visiting in one of the projects, several people told me that they were already registered in the state which they came from. That does not mean a thing here. YOU MUST BE REGISTERED IN OREGON IN ORDER TO VOTE IN OREGON. We are still holding classes in Registration, but if you still need help, the PORTLAND INQUIRER has an organization ready and willing to help you when you want help. Call WEbster 7220 or 1534. WILL YOU HELP? I There is in Portland today a condition that never has been known in the State of Oregon before. Every one knows about the migration of the Negro to this area. It is no secret that the Colored population of Multnomah county holds a balance of power in potential votes. This condition has never existed before. But that Balance of Power will be of no value to the Negroes uilJl.ess we get the new people REGISTERED. Several times before and somewhere in this issue of the Portland Inquirer we have spoken on the lack of Unity among our people. Many times it has been spoken of by people iii. their daily conversation. No doubt you have spoken of it yourself or at least thought of it. Here is your chance to do something about it - WILL YOU VOLUNTEER TO HELP GET THE NEW NEGROES REGISTERED? It is your job, my job, everybody's job, to help get these people registered before the time expires. Will you help? If you will volunteer your assistance, or the use of your car or willing to help in any way, please call WEbster 7220. Say that you will help and give your name and address. hardware stores. 4. Heat-seal the home before cold weather arrives. Weatherstrip doors and windows, caulk cracks, insulate attic floors and walls, repair roof. Arrange to close off rooms and other space you do not intend to heat this winter. Renewal of 'A' Rations· to be Handled by Mail A streamlined plan for handling renewal of "A" gasoline rations by mail was announced today by McDannell Brown, district director, Office of Price Administration. Present "A" ration expires on September 21. Motorists can obtain their renewal forms at local service stations and garages, except for workers in industries which have plant transportation committees. They will get their forms from the committees and return them to the committees instead of to the local OPA boards, Brown explained. All other motorists should get their renewal blanks now, fill them out properly, and mail the form to their own local OPA board, accompanied by the signed back cover of the present "A" back, and the tire inspection record. If the back cover has been lost or destroyed the applicant must ,be able to prove to the satisfaction of the board that the car is actually in use and that no other application has been made for a basic "A" ration. Applicants temporarily away from their permanent residence may apply at any local board but are urged to mail the renewal blanks to their home boards instead so their. records will be complete. Do not telephone or call in person at local boards. Brown requested, as no "A" books will be handed out over the counter. Applications will be acted on promptly in the order received so new coupons can be mailed to each applicant before the September 22 validity date. The Chanticleer Bridge Club resumed its activities September 5th at the home of Mrs. Abbie Cantrell with a beautiful breakfast with all the trimmings. Bridge prizes were awarded, Mrs. Jesse Flowers won first prize; Mrs. Irene Braggs, president of the club won second prize. Mrs. Blanche Holliday is secretary of the club.

The Republican party will try to introduce appeals based on Abraham Lincoln's administration in some sections of the country to get the Negro vote. They can never cite their record in office since the time of 1865 as reason for support to their party. In the South they will defend state rights. This has an appeal to the South because the state is the agency that can be used independently of the Federal government to insure segregation. On Wall Street the Republicans will defend the rights of the big monopolies, will charge the government with too much interference. This course can be accepted as the one the Republicans will pursue with its many contradictions and counter contradictions.
