He said the nominating com mittee decided to accept Casson's suggestions, but they were in no way “locked in" or pressured to do so. Nom inating c o m m itte e members were Mrs. Crowe, Louise McCowan and J.L Manus and Jackson. Casson said he thinks four years is long enough for anyone to be NAACP Presi dent and that he had ex pected to give up the Presi dency. However, many persons told him that since he was responsible for bringing the National Con vention to Portland in 1978, he should not walk out on them now and leave them with the task of hosting a national convention. Casson said that he did not appoint am election super visory committee because there is no contest. "As President of the NAACP," Casson stated. “1 have acted in good faith to serve this branch and my community, upholding the election laws of the NAACP. My recommendations or sug gestions were made on the basis of people who had served and who had shown an interest in the NAACP."

Ex tension food and nutrition specialist at Oregon State University. There is no rule to follow as to how much one ran safely reduce the sugar content. Mrs. Oehler adds. Each homemaker will have to experiment for herself to see whether she and her family find the new product made with less sugar ac ceptable. Reducing the sugar con tent in baked goods tends to m ake p ro d u c ts w ith a coarser texture, that is less tender, become stale more quickly, and heavier. Breads can be baked with out sugar, but the dough will rise more slowly and the final product will be more like a bread and less like a roll. Corn syrup and honey can be used in place of sugar in the recipes. However. Mrs. Oehler notes, the price of honey and corn syrup is also high, so unless these pro ducts are on hand, the homemaker w ill not be saving any money by using the substitutes. The Recession Is Here . . \W e 7 e L^quit n Companies that didn't moke ill election Judge Charles Johnson, a national board member from Seattle: Jack Tanner, a former national board mem ber from Tacoma: and Don McCullum, former President of the Western Region. “Tanner's getting the votes from New York. Detroit and Pennsylvania, along with the W estern Region's votes, clinched it," he said. The procedure for con testing the legality prior to the election, which is to occur December 8th, is a petition to the National Office signed by 25 members. If the National Office de termmes that there have been infractions of the rules, it will set aside the nomi nations and ran send an official to supervise a new nomination process and elec tion. Use common sense by Ron Herndon We are once again ap proaching a holiday season in which, traditionally, we as Black people allow ourselves to be an accomplice to "The Christmas Game". Business men began enforcing tactics months ago that will lure us into their stores and fatten their pockets. Every year we say. "No, not this year," but yet we partake in the game only to end the yeZf with the spirit of brother hood broken and ourselves in the same boat - deeper in debt! With the country under going a continuously rising recession, we can't afford to overlook certain realities af fecting our existence as Black/African people. The major economic gains of the 1960's have vanished and it will be detrimental for us to continue to play games with ourselves. Inflation and un employment are real facts which we must take a closer look at. The current recession has crippled the working people as a whole, in particular Black workers who are "last to be hired, first to be fired". According to government statistics, unem ploym ent nationally is reaching 7 per cent. However, these sta tistics neglect to give the true picture representing unemployment in the Black community. The unemploy ment in the Black community has passed the 11 percent mark, which was the exact percentage of unemployment during the depression of the 1930's. Not only are we 90 percent of the non-white unemployed, but our income when employed is only about 50 percent of the average Col.W atts His N ahyv white family's income. Another crippling factor of the current recession is the 12 percent annual increase of food, fuel, clothing, new and used cars, medical services, home furnishings and new housing. No one can tell you when, where or how to spend your earnings, but ad vice can and should be given. It would be wise, especially during the commercialized, moneymaking gimmick of the holiday season, to be aware of the status of the economy and the cutbacks in productions and jobs. No one has infinite security. BUILDING SUPPLY DISCOUNT CENTERS la fla ttJ ^ r k u OPEN Let's return to the original meaning and spirit of Christ mas - from the heart.
