The ALBINA TAXPAYERS ANDCIVIC ASSOCIATION, Albina’ s militant
new organization striving for community betterment and equal oppor
tunity, held its permanent organization meeting last Saturday night and
elected the following officers: Chairman, Vivlane Barnett; V ice-C hair
man, U. H. Leverett (Grand Exalted Ruler - Elks); Secretary, Etolle
Cox; T reasu rer, Roselle Yee; Board of Directors: Dr. Booker T . Lewis,

Jackso, Don Alford (Publicity D irector); Chairman Emeritus: Edgar
Williams.
The new Association will conduct a special meeting and
“ Candidates’ Night’ ’ at the Elks Lodge next Saturday night, May 12.
The Association has previously taken a firm stand In support of the
decision of the Housing Athority of Portland to proceed with its plans for
development of the 58-unlt DAISY B. WILLIAMS project in the area so
designated.
.
The Association enthusiastically joins with the Housing Ahtorlty of
Portland In giving appropriate recognition, in the near future, to the
25th anniversary of the Housing Act of 1937 - the basis for the low-
rent housing program which became law 25 years ago. F or a quarter
of a century, this program, viewed as one of the most controversial of
federal offerings, has made it possible fo r fam ilies of low income to live
In safe, sanitary, and stadard housing.
The Housing and Home Finance Agency in Washington, D. C „ has
Just recently released the follwoing significant statistics. “ There are
now a half-million public housing dwelling units in the United States
operated by some 1200 local Housing Authorities. 47% of all these
fam ilies are Negro. 25% are on-parent fam ilies, mostly fatherless.
34% are receiving Social Security o r assistance checks. The average
Income of all fam ilies In all public housing projects is $2,373.00 per
year.
Respecting the social and humanitarian aspects of the low-rent
public housing program and the excellent job being done by the Housing
Authority of Portland in Its determination to build new public housing
projects WHERE THEY ARE MOST URGENTLY NEEDED, the Albina
TAXPAYERS AND CIVIC ASSOCIATION has pledged its full support
to the local public housing program.
