Preceding Publication Date. Problem Number Two that faces the post war planners of Portland is not so much of what we are going to do with the Negro, but how are we going to meet him. It is an esta blished fact that for the most part the native residents of Portland do not know the Colored man. Having had very little contact with Negroes it is evident that they do not know him or his philosophy. This would not be necessary if it were not for the presence here also of the Southern whites who are attempting to introduce their brand of “ Aristocra cy,” i. e. keeping the Negro in his place. Coupled with the fact that the Negro was not wanted here in the first place; that the older residents of his own race have their minds poisoned against him, you have a combination of circum stances that have prevented the new Negro presenting him self in a favorable light. Older residents are wasting their time in recrimination. Their ratiocination gives them Young People’s the idea that conditions would be so different if it were not for the newcomer. Noth ing could be farther from the truth. The absolute truth is (a) There were no Negro teachers in the school system until the arrival of the newcomer, (b) There was not half the Ne BENSON TRIUMPHS OVER JEFF Benson's cross - country team literally speaking ran over that of 1 Jefferson’s with a score o f arounu twenty-one to forty-eight. First place winner was Jeff’s Dick Pet- terson, ninth place for Benson was Bill Hilliard (who ran a swell race). This meet held last Friday told which school would probably take the city championship and I hereby state that it will be Benson Tech first with Roosevelt and Jef ferson battling for second and third place.

W. Sixth Avenue Y. W. C. A. 834 S. W. Broadway to meet and know him is comparatively simple at present. Hut, nobody wants to take him seriously enough to try to meet and know him. The time will come when he will be met and known, but the propitious moment is now. If this prob lem is left for post war and the new Negro finds that he is to be ostracized, refused the opportunity to earn a decent living and the object of discrimination in general, then he may not be quite so nice to meet. This problem faces old and new alike in that post war; it will not be a case of whether you are old or new, but are you a Negro? The general practice of hiring the Negro last and firing him first is scheduled to be repeated. Negroes, hundreds of miles from friends will find idle time on fheir. hands for the first time since coming into this area. People who were lving during the last let-down can tell those who were not living then that it is not a very pretty picture. Maybe it would be better to start in meeting the newcomer now. LUCKY MILLINDER STOMP SUCCESS Monday, November 20, market! the night that the famed “ Lucky Millinder” brought his famed band to McElroy’s Ballroom. The joint started jumping from the minute that the doors were opened to the public until the very last note had been played. As was expected, one of the largest crowds ever attended an 1 the jitterbugs had the time o f their lives, while the onlookers seemed to have just as much of a fine time looking. Everyone had “ only a most fine time.” CONNIE’S JUMP Miss Constance Maney gave last Sunday a small jump for a few of her friends. Although Set and Sam ate up just about everything in the place, the music was fine and the chicks were fine and every one had a fine time, so Miss Maney overlooked this point.

Although you may have been unable to find any on your last shopping tour, the men of the house may soon be ade quately clothed again. A recent OPA action granting manufactur ers of certain types of men’s and boys’ heavyweight shirts, drawers and union suits permission to ap ply for higher ceiling prices is ex pected to bring about an increased output of these items.
