(ANP>— Chief topic on the lips of citizens of Portland, Ore. has been and still is race relations. The reason is that on November 7 voters will decide whether or not they want a civil rights ordinance. , This ordinance was passed several months ago by the city council, but has not been put in force yet be cause a petition was submitted call ing for a referendum on the sub ject. This law would prevent discrimi nation by hotels, restaurants, and other public places against a person because of race, color, or creed. Forums on this topic are a night ly occasion. Discussions have been sponsored by the Portland YWCA, the City club, the Portland League of Women Voters, and the Portland pouncil of Churches. In each of the discussions, usually Sentence Sermons $ _ Rev. Frank Clarence Lowry For ANP 1. It is rather difficult to reconcile sports with things religious though not so far distant as before; since our champion fought with such dignity and left a challenge at the open door. 2. Joe Louis took a wild sport like prize fighting, that all but the beastly minded use to adhere and tamed it with fine human characteristics that his standards even children learned to adhere. 3. As an artist, he blended his color with all races and matched opponents with fair-play and skill, so that the choice pages of his history, future aspirants would have to climb to fulfill. 4. He thought not of himself alone as he fought hard to achieve; but by upright conduct endeavored for his people, many burdens to relieve. 5. His respect for his government is fulfilling every military duty, had to do with many helpful changes that in due course came as bounty. 6. Many boys in the navy now wearing the uniform, are indebted to Joe Louis (not Joe Stalin) whose wise con tributions were the means that worked the magic charm. 7. Few, if any champions have had to face the odds like Joe, yet with diligence and patience won the admira tion of the entire world and left the ring aglow. 8. He left a fine example for youth, to meet all men alike and take into life’s ring the very best at hand and only fairly and squarely fight. 9. Look how in the end he chose a man with skill and more of youth on his side; yet desiring to take a chance to gain an honest point, even from those he stepped not aside. 10. The consequences he doubtless considered and carefully counted up the cost; but characteristic of our good friend, he never feared the worst. 11. Yea, this humble but powerful, bowed the whole world to the feet of his shrine, and after ascending to heights sublime, seemed to say to his admirer, “I’ve done my bet, come now and dine.” 12. In viewing the matchless record of this herculean fighter, the way of the struggling Christian even seems a little brighter; for though in making his last stand, on points was forced down, he in like manner as a Christian went down reaching for his crown.

SUMoroly, AftRANCCO COMCOSCO UANOLCAOCO speakers took up both sides of the issue. Supporters insisted that this ac tion would be demonstrating democ racy and would be a blow to Com munist propaganda, and opponents felt* that this was infringing on the rights of business men. One opponent, Albert Gentner, president of the Portland Hotel as sociation, declared: “All demand for accomodations in Portland hotels by Negroes are being filled. I believe I can say that 100 White persons have been turned down for every colored person that may have been turned down. I know of no cases within the past year or so where Negroes have been turned away.” Mrs. Frank L. Cole of the YWCA board, a proponent, said: “I feel the time has come to stop talking about things and doing something about them.” * CARD OF THANKS The family of the late, ELDER THOMAS J.
