Nine California Negroes Fired For Attending Prayer Service As We Live Thursday, March 29. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE S EVEN New York 0J.R Nine Calif- employ ment superintendent, ornia Negro workers today pro tested their dismissal for leaving their jobs one hour to take part in nationwide prayer services in support of the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott. The Negroes were fired Wednesday for leaving their jobs at the Pacific Airmotive Corp. plant at Chino, Calif. The -special services, called "The National Deliverance Day of Prayer" by its Negro leaders, were held in churches across the nation Wednesday. Negro leaders reported 28, 000 persons attended services during the day in Chicago. New York. Washington, D.C., Boston and Los Angeles reported large attendances. Day Long Prayer In the South, about 2,500 Ne groes participated in a mass demonstration sponsored by the Negro Interdenomination Minis terial Alliance representing 59 churches in the area. Negro church doors were open the day long for prayer in Atlanta and Montgomery. Negro clergy in Galveston, Tex., and Baton Eouge, La., held special services. About 75 Massachusetts legis lators left committee meetings in Boston in a demonstration of sympathy with the Negro boy cott leaders. Gov. Goodwin Knight and the Los Angeles City Council en dorsed the day of prayer in Cal ifornia. Labor organizations also sanctioned the demonstration. Several churches in Hollywood and Los Angeles held special services. Fired After Absence In Chino, the nine fired Negro workers punched out their time cards at 2 p.m. and punched back in at 3 p.m. at the aircraft plant which overhauls and re pairs Air Force C47 parts. Dur ing their one hour absence they went' to their cars to join in the special prayers. Sixteen other Negroes employed by the com pany did not take part. Ralph Simpson, tfie. plant's said nine Negroes were fired be cause management "couldn't condone such action for any group." "We did everything possible to work out a solution, Simp- some of our oldest employees." Percy Strickland, one of the fired men, said the action would be referred to both the Interna tional association oi iviacninisis i Union and the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Double-Dating Helps To Gain Experience The shv, retiring youth, one who has the proverbial : ence faint heart, never wins the in- terest or love By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, , interest you would PH.D. j certainly i -! have had some dating experience son said.

Unless Baker Residents Keep Eye on Rising River Baker (U.R) The weather held, the key today as residents of Saker county kept a watch ful eye on the Powder river, which is threatening to be the first Oregon stream to start a heavy flood spring runoff. Cooler weather early in the week sent the water receeding slightly but at several spots in Baker the river was wjthin a foot of spilling over it banks. TJie stream already has. over flowed its banks at several points in the valley and is threatening at least one home. The normally peaceful river usually reaches its present point later in the spring. Far mers in the valley are fearful this year that an exceptionally heavy runoff will wash out hay crops and grain plantings. eSnow Avalanches Feared on Sisters Bend (U.R) Observers here say that massive fields of snow are precariously clinging to the slopes of" the Three Sis ters and very possibly could break away this spring in huge avalanches. After a recent flight over the 10,000 foot high mountains, J. I. Van Wormer of Bend- said that snow has completely filled the summit crater on the South Sister which normally is filled by a lake in the summer months The snow is at such depths that most valleys ' and promontories have been obliterated. Van Wormer said several ' Show fields appear poised for plunges from the steep slopes. YOUNG MEN'S FANCIES Chicago (U.R) State's At torney John Gutknecht warned law enforcement officers today that it's, spring again and young men's fancies are likely to turn to thoughts of stealing cars. Car thefts normally hit their peak in April, Gutknecht said.

McKay in Race Said 'Absentee Dictation7 Washington--(U.R) Sen. Rich ard L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) as serted yesterday that the entry of Douglas McKay in the Oregon Republican senatorial primary amounted to "absentee dicta tion" by the Republican admin istration. Neuberger, in a Senate speech, charged that a "little group of men in the White House and the Republican National Committee "hand-picked" McKay, now sec retary of interior, for the race. "Then they sent him off to Oregon, without so much as a courtesy notice to the Republi cans already filed in that race," he said. If what he called the McKay "intrusion" into the Oregon pri mary is successful, Neuberger said, the direct primary system is "dead" in the state. 'Wheelchair' Homes Provided Veterans More than 4,300 seriously dis abled veterans have received federal grants totaling more than S41 million for "wheelchair homes," S. T.

Can Learn a Lot If youjeeep your eyes and ears open, you 'can learn a lot from more experienced boys. Then, when you feel you have learned enough that you have confi dence to try dating on your own, ask a girl to go with you. On your first dates alone, however, you would be wise to select a girl who has not had too much dating experience, as she could make you feel like an unsophis- Girls expect boys to have enough courage to invite them out. A boy who is afraid to ask a girl for a date would doubtless be afraid to talk and you can then imagine what a fizzle the date would turn out to be. To get the courage you need, you must first get experience and make sure your experience is succesful or it will not give you the self-confidence which is the basis of courage. .......
