Neal end Mrs. Arthur Kreisman During the evening Mark Iartinez Infante spoke about Jhe communities where it is Jaid "Though we do have cer tain discriminatory incidents, Sve do not have discrimina tion here."

SNIDER'S DAIRY "Daisyland" UTTLE KNOWN FACTS IN HISTORY Gecrse Wash'mqfcit and Hwt Gierrq Tree rg&S2f MAIL TRIBUNE himself to become the voice of the community, he contin ued. "But," continued Mr. Infante, "that " is not the American way. In America we are all one "family, not made of identical members but of individuals from the whole human family. A com munity can live as a part of the whole human family, or it can try to survive by main taining unofficial segrega tion." Several members of the audience reported having been told, when they were newcomers to Ashland, 'This is a fine community, we do not permit Negroes or for eigners here." At the same time others of the audience reported a widespread feeling that there is no such problem in Ashland. In reply to this Mr. Peyton said "That is true. You have no opportunity for a race problem in Ashland for you do not have resident Ne groes, but certainly what ex ists may be called a 'spiritual wall of segregation.' " Mr. Peyton continued with an account of the laws of Ore gon, saying that the state can be proud of its civil rights code. He read from the stat ute Public Policy the follow ing quotation "Practices of discrimination. ... are a mat ter of state concern and such discrimination threatens not only the rights and privileges of its inhabitants, but men aces the institutions and foundations of a free demo cratic state." To enforce this policy, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor is empowered to take what steps he finds nec essary to eliminate discrimi nation throughout the state. The law requires that there be no discrimination in em ployment, in places of public amusement, motels, hotels, or restaurants, nor in publicly assisted housing. Mr. Peyton pointed out that while for merly the offense was a civil one in which the complain ant hire a lawyer to bring suit, now it is a criminal of fense in which the complaint need only to be filed with the Bureau of Labor which is then empowered to bear the responsbility for action. There was discussion on the problem of how to "get at" the intangible discourte sies and the persistent rumors that Ashland is a "sun down town," and the discussion led to formation of the community-wide committee.
