Poi tl and/Observer Dec. 16, 1971 Page 6 ACDC vists Mt. Hood NAACP leaders eulegize Spingarn By Rosemary Simington Thursday, December 9th, the Albina Child Development Center went on a field trip to Mt. Hood. There were four chartered buses filled to capacity with children inJ teachers. The buses depart ed from the center at 9;3O and returned at 4:30 pm. During the long ride up to Snow Bunny I odge, there was lots of singing and laughter and more questions asked than could be answered at one tune. Midway the trip it began to snow which added to the an xiety the children already had. A fter arriving at Snow Bun ny Lodge, most of the child ren immediately began to play in th e snow. A few were somewhat hesitant at firs t, but it wasn’ t long before they were all running around and falling down in the snow, in other words, just having a good time. Sliding down a snow covered h ill on innertubes was also a new experience fo r most of them, but , being active and curious children, it did not take them very long to adapt to It. The cooks from the center also came along on the trip , fu lly prepared with a nour ishing hot meal fo r everyone. There was also plenty of hot chocolate on hand whenever the children needed a little extra warmth. Children and teachers from Albina Child Development center arrive at Snow Bunny Lodge on Mt. Hood. In spite of all of the activity, it turned out to be a well plan ned and enjoyable trip fo r everyone. A hot lunch helps warm cold fingers and toes after a dav in the snow.

Spingarn was constantly occupi»! with the fight for freedom. To this great cause he gave freely of his re sources, hlsgteat legal talent, his wise counsel, his dedica tion. He was a m ajor factor in the development of the NAACP into the nationwide, effective c iv il rights o r ganization it now is. Not only Negro Americans but all our citizens are indebted to A rth u r B, Spingarn fo r the contributions he made toward making ours a more hospi table country fo r peoples of all races than it was at the beginning of this century. From January 1940 through 1965 he was president of the NAACP. Previously he had been a member of the Asso ciation's Board of D irectors, a vice president and chairman of the National Legal Com mittee from 1911 to 1940. He succeed»! his brother, the late Col. J.E. Spingarn, as NAACP president, a position to which he has been con tinuously re-elected at the Association's annual meet ings. Upon his retirem ent he was ejected honorary president for life. In the early days of the Association, before there was an employed legal staff, M r. Spingarn served as theNAACP counsel, contributing his time, knowledge and expei lence without cost to the Associa tion. A distinguished lawyer, he served the c iv il rights legal program as president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc., from Its founding in 1939 until Sept. 1957, when he resign«!. In 1910, Col. Spingarn be came a member of the Exe cutive Committee of the newly-formed NAACP.

A ll members of racial m i nority groups are being urged by Adm iral E .R .Zum w alt, J r. who is chief of naval opera tions, to report incidents of off base housing disci imination. Adm iral Zumwalt has Im plemented a sustained action program for all ships, squad rons and shore-based instal lations. It is désignai to re s- porxl promptly amt decisively to reports from navymen or their defeixlents concerning any discrim inatory practices by local houwlng owners or managers. The navy is attempting to halt the pre-judging of pros pective tenants by brbiglng these acts to the attention of the proper authorities. The A dm iral detailed in firm language the steps naval commanders w ill take to en sure equal treatment of all U.S. navymen and women.
