: Mr. Infante continued by
saying that no person, alone,
can decide whether any other

apathetic and condones such
Sction by its silence can such
Incidents occur, he said. Then

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.

Minneapolis (IP) Most
folks take it for granted that
anyone entering a beauty
contest is a slim, trim lass of
the 36-23-36 variety.
But "Mrs. Lillie May Rose
proved this notion wrong.
She is 83 years old.
Mrs. Rose, a great-grandmother,
entered the competi

part of Minnesota's 100th
birthday celebration.
"I saw in the papers where
they were going to pick the
queen out of the girls in the
ice follies. Well, I didn't like
that. They should have some
old woman that has lived
here, was born here, and that
raised an honorable family
here," she said.
