Gertrude Crowe's
illness,
said he was sorry that he
was unable to be at the
I membership meeting because
of his church anniversary.
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."
Casson said the nominating
committee had the option to

Sugar substitutes
change product
Reducing the sugar in your
favorite baked product will
change the final product,
reports Nellie Oehler. 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.

“Tanner's getting the 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

it will set aside the nomi

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.
