The Oregon Advance(flMES gives to our community a newspaper which factually reports the news of our area and aggressively seeks the full rights of our ciuzens.

In all this, the truth, as we see it, will be consistently presented. Page 2 Vol. 1, No. 35 September 19, 1968 Qualilioation o, Di10,imin1tion It must be noted that Congresswoman Edith Green is advocating that the position of postmaster . be filled by a career postal employee. This poses the question, how many class A post offices have career employees as postmasters? One cannot help but question the motives of Mrs. Green inasmuch as a black man has been mentioned as a candidate for the position of postmaster. by the Office of Economic Opportunity. As far as selecting a career postal employee from the Portland post office, it should be remembered that he would be drawn from the same structure, which by discriminatory practices, kept the black employees from being upgraded. He would have to be at least as qualified as the present postmaster was when he assumed the position. The Beaverton postmaster has been mentioned as a possible candidate. Certainly his civil rights stand should be very closely examined. Has he had the occasion to supervise or work with black people? Does he live in a community where there are black people? Do his children attend a school with black children? In comparing Mr. Hadley, the present Portland postmaster, with Bill McCoy, the black candidate, we find that Mr. Hadley brought to the job his experience as a football coach, while Mr. McCoy is presently administering a ~rogram funded Black people from the Portland area should certainly be concerned about who the next postmaster will be. Letter to The Editor I B~~~:~~~~ !, ~~ Dear Editor: I have been reading your paper for quite some time, Even though I do not receive it regularly, I do get it often enough to follow it. I enjoy it very much, and feel it is quite a good neighborhood paper. There are a few things I would like to see in it, however, One is a little more local or · area happenings, things that are going on in the Albina area everyday, Since it is a neighborhood paper for the Albina area, I would like to see a little more interest taken in the whites in the area, I've called your office and have been told that it is a neighborhood paper, The same thing when I discuss it with people on the street. Since Albina is approximately 40% white, from the figures I can gather, don't you feel the paper should be representative of the WHOLE community? For awhile we were asked to buy it, but there was nothing of interest to us, so why should we buy it? It's my firm belief that if it is to be called a neighborhood paper, then your policy making people should bend a little and include more whites or interest to whites, If this were to happen, then we would not only be willing, but eager to buy your paper off the newsstands or from newsboys at the door. As a matter of fact I have two boys who would like to have a weekly paper route. I have had many discussions about this matter with other whites in 1:he area and the majority of them feel the same way as I do, consequently I feel that I am speaking for the greater part of the 40% of whites who live in the Albina Area. I'm sure we would like to have a reply from you through your paper. In fact we will be awaiting a reply on your editorial page, If you have policies which forbid this type of newspaper please feel free to say so, Since we are a part of the community we would certainly like to be a part of the WHOLE COMMUNITY, Yours truly, Mrs, S,G, It is easy to save face. Just keep the lower half of it tightly shut. New, 8, View, NEWS IS WHAT HAPPENED its second week, and the opinions on the success of the new bussing system varying both pro and con, I would like to hear the kids involved give us their opinion. It might differ with Mom and Dad's. Naturally, the thrill of getting a bus ride to a new school will at first hold sway, but after the newness wears off, then what? Of course. there is a side to this bussing that is good, but can only be good if it is carried out in the right manner. What, you might ask, is the right way? When I say this, it is just one man's opinion, but try it on for size. When we bus our kids out of the area to schools in the suburbs. and only take a select few, what happens to those left behind? They go to the same old school with the same old problems, so what is being gained? Don't these kids deserve the same kind ofeducation as the rest? It seems that only a certain quota can be bussed, just as many as these outlying schools have room for. I have suggested many times when asked my opinion on the bussing, that it didn't make sense to bus one way - that for every student bussed out of Albina to other schools, bus the same amount from those schools into the Albina district. This way, it will assure equal education for all the children. In Berkeley, California, they are trying this method out and it seems to be working well for both-sides, To Political Views The disillusionment of some popular black Republicans at all levels of the party's structure, from U. s. Senators to nationally known figures who are considered to be leaders of their people, is becoming more apparent as the Presidential campaign continues to grow. First to leave the ship was Jackie Robinson of baseball fame and a dyed-in-the-wool Republican who campaigned hard for Mr. Nixon in 1960, only to find he was just being used to get the Negro vote. But Jackie was smart; he didn't let the same bee sting him twice. When Nixon was nominated this time, he immediately jumped ship and is now working for the Democratic nominee. The one I feel sorry for, though, is the Senator from Massachusetts, who is seemingly in a bind, due to the rule that you must support your party's choice regardless of whether it is yours or not. This made it a double bind on Senator Brooke, as he was a Rockefeller man to begin with, and now he at last admits to the public that he is very dissatisfied with the role he plays in Mr. Nixon's program. Forty years ago, for a black man to vote anything but Republican was almost unheard of; to be called a Democrat was like being called a dirty name. This was in the day when the South was solid Democrat and the black man couldn't walk on the sidewalk, and spent his time bowing and scraping to ''Mr. Charlie." Such men as Senator Bilbo and Governor Talmadge, and many others of their ilk, kept the system in line with lynchings, tar and featherings, and other means of torture, with but one intent: Keep The Black Man Down. This continued until 1933, when they elected a President who stayed in office for 16 years, Franklin D. Roosevelt. At the time of his election, the country was in bad shape and much needed to be done, including help for the Negro, who had become a nonentity as far as society was concerned. In the armed services he was segregated; in the Navy the best he could hope for was to become a steward. There had never been a general officer in the Army until this man was in office; during the 16-year tenure in office, his attempts, along with the new breed of Democrats to correct the racial sickness of American society, Negroes began to switch their party loyalty, until by the time Roosevelt died and Truman took over, their vote took on a meaning to the party that they backed, and the majority was by far Democrats. They had found a party that was sympathetic to their needs and they supported it, and have continued to do so. Of course, there remained the die-hards who, because of Abraham Lincoln, could not see how their black brothers could ever vote for the Democratic party. This is the spot that such men as Senator Brooke and other ranking Negroes find themselves. How they could have ever supported a candidate like Mr. Nixon is a mystery to me in the first place, when his every word shows his lack of interest in the poor and poverty stricken, especially the Negro. His latest statement bears this out; more convictions says he, is the answer for the riots and demonstrations, .law and order, but no solution for what is the cause of it all. All the · while the Democratic nominee has repeatedly said he is for law and order, but he is going to try and find the remedy for the cause by creating more job opportunities and more chances for education, as well . as to break down the barriers of discrimination. This, I believe, is the real answer, not more jails and courts. I hope that more people like Jackie Robinson will become aware of this. Black History Much has been said ab9ut the Black man and his background clear back to Africa. And many protestors both pro and con have said he should go back to his own country, This is all well and good, but which one of the many African nations should he return to? And which one would accept him? Many people are unfamiliar with the many African nations that have emerged in the last 20 years, Would "Malawi," which means ''fire on the water," be acceptable to them? It is a country that has most of the usual holidays, a monetary unit that is comparable with the Rhodesian pound; one pound would be equal to $2,80 U, S, currency. Entry requirements are not too bad; a passport visa and a health certificate is all, mals too numerous to mention. There is also a variety of exotic trees to be found, such as softwood, acacia, cedar and baobab, whatever that is, The religion is mostly Islam, though there is a smattering of Catholic, Methodist and Presbyterian, So how about Malawi for a future home? of course, Africa being such a vast continent, it seems natural that there should be many nations the same as South America or Asia, There is the Republic of Nigeria; population 2,950,000, and the Federal Republic of Nigeria, with a population of 55,6 million, This republic is the home of Senegal, population of 3,100,000, with an average density of 40 persons to the square mile (lots of room there, huh?), VIEWS IS WHEN WE TELL OTHERS HOW IT HAPPENED me. this makes sense, because A variety of plant life can if the school facilities were be found there and there is equal here in Portland, what ' an abundance of edible fish to would be the use or benefit be found in its waters, that is of bussing students out of the if you can evade the snakes area? If we are going to bus and reptiles, as well as the our kids, let's make it a two- elephants, giraffe and rhinoway street, ceros, plus other jungle aniIf the above country doesn't suit their fancy, they can always try the Republic of Mali, which covers some 464,752 square miles, has a population of 4,305.000 and is almost entir:ely rural. It uses the Franc for its means of exchange, and one can easily live on rice and fish, but there again is the problem - it's not would you accept them; it's would they accept you. They are an intelligent looking people, and whether they would put up with some of our nonsense is extremely doubtful. But back to the many nations in Africa, let me mention a few without going into detail - names you, like myself, probably never heard of; Sierra Leone, population of 2,500,000. These figures and names are just to inform those who wo4ld like to make a move, of the possibilities that are open. There are many more that I have not mentioned, but not to slight anyone I will continue the run-down of nations on the African continent at a later date. But be sure to bear in mind that there are some ,real civilized inhabitants in those countries, probably more so than some people over here, so I would bear it in mind to check up on myself were I intending to make a move,

Records Available To Readers The Vacation Readers have returned and are back in the classrooms of the schools. Hundreds of children were members of the Summer Reading Clubs at the various branches of the Multnomah County Library. As members they travelled thousands of miles to many strange lands and places as well as close to home for the motto of the clubs was "Vacation Readers Go Everywhere." Membership ends for this year with different events. At the Albina Branch Library members may call for their reading lists in which are recorded all the books read by each child during the summer. These lists are useful to the-reader, a pride of the parents and of interest to the teachers. The children's librarian at North Portland Branch plans to announce the names of those who read the most books at a special meeting which will be disignated later. Childrenwho were members at the Vernon Branch Library will have a party at which juvenile films will be shown and refreshments served. The movie will start at 4:00 p.m. Friday, September27. MissMary Downey, Head of Library Branches, will present the reading records to the members. Your Dollars Go Further at Sears \Sears! SAVE $2165 Craftsman 49-Pc.

But the plan also may represent one of the strongest efforts toward racial understanding yet made by a group of Mormon church members. As Dr. Kent Lloyd, 38, PEDR president and a former University of Southern California faculty member, noted in an interview, the Mormons are accused of racism by militant Negroes. This is because of the doctrine of the Church of Jesus Christ of the .Latter-Day Saints, the formal name for the Mormon church. "The doctrine is founded on a, belief that Negroes somehow were cursed anciently and therefore cannot hold the priesthood," he said. ''The church officially supports civil rights for all citizens and is against all forms of religious or racial discrimination," said Dr. Lloyd, adding that there are numerous committed Mormons such as Gov. George Romney of Michigan who are active supporters of wider civil rights. Mormons believe that the doctrine can be change only through relevation to the prophet of the church, the president, who currently is Dr, David 0, McKay. Dr. Lloyd and Dr, Kendall 0, Price, PEDR executive vice president, said, '' We find no inconsistency in supporting the church and working to promote better race relations," Dr. Price said, ''We accept this doctrine as something we can't change." stantial profit-making industries in the country have now become leaders in a nationwide job program.
