This ad was published November 3, 1942 by the “Committee on Jobs for Negros in Public Utilities” in the Washington Post calling on the Capital Transit Company to hire African American streetcar and bus operators to alleviate idle cars and buses attributable to the lack of operators.
The ad is signed by a wide variety of prominent leaders with everyone from Congressmen, religious leaders, labor leaders, civil rights leaders and communists. The ad also calls for a mass rally on Nov. 3, 1942 at the Vermont Ave. Baptist Church.

Agincourt, Trafalgar, Waterloo... you don’t have to be a learned scholar of our island history to know that, over the centuries, Britain’s entente with France has not always been cordiale.
Indeed, even in the recent years of firm (but wary) friendship, our two nations have often gone their divergent ways.
Leave aside the painful day in 1940, after France’s armistice with Hitler, when the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet.
Think instead of France’s refusal to back us in the Falklands or (no matter how justifiably) Iraq. Or consider the 43 years, which ended only 19 months ago, during which the French rejected Nato.
Yet today, David Cameron and President Nicolas Sarkozy are to declare a new era of Anglo-French defence collaboration which will make independent action by either nation all but impossible.
Even at a time when it’s vital to save money, how can this be wise?
True, those who feel deeply uneasy about depending on France will be accused of living in the past. But it’s the future that worries the Mail.
Though Mr Cameron and M. Sarkozy may get along, where will Britain be left if we have to plead with a future French Socialist Government for the use of an aircraft carrier to defend our interests?
And how can the Tories, who rightly opposed plans for a European army, even consider handing operational control of the SAS to France?
Mr Cameron said yesterday: ‘The point is to enhance sovereign capability by two like-minded countries.’
We may be like-minded today, Prime Minister. But what about tomorrow?
A disingenuous gameSacked last year for attacking tougher controls on cannabis, the aptly-named Professor David Nutt tries a new approach to pushing his soft line on illegal drugs.
With fellow liberal campaigners, the former government drugs adviser publishes research — based on his own formula — purporting to prove that all illicit drugs, heroin included, are much less harmful than alcohol.
Let’s be clear. For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse — and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions.
But Professor Nutt is clearly pursuing a different agenda when he plays up the dangers of alcohol — preposterously suggesting that it should be classified as a Class A drug.
Isn’t his chief purpose to play down the harm done by illegal drugs such as cannabis and cocaine — just as he did last year, when he announced that ecstasy was less dangerous than horse-riding?
If he had experience of rundown estates, where girls sell their bodies for a fix of crack, would he be so blase about drug abuse?
Of course, Professor Nutt is entitled to his opinions. But when he dresses them up as science, he is playing a disingenuous and dangerous game.
Equality of failure
In the name of equality, Chief Schools Adjudicator Dr Ian Craig condemns faith schools for favouring families involved in church activities.
There’s a danger, he says, that they may be (shock, horror!) middle class.
Meanwhile, he warns that specialist music schools may be breaking the law by accepting gifted musicians according to their ‘ability’, rather than their ‘aptitude’.
In short, he won’t rest until all children, equally, are denied places at the schools that suit them best.
"the Royal Navy was reluctantly obliged to sink the French fleet."
Another betrayal from the British: killing 1,297 french soldiers for no reason and you dare to claim it was "obliged" to do so?
Appalling revisionnism from an appalling tabloid.

If not for this action , the French fleet would have been taken over and crewed by Germans, we may not have won the war and you could still be under Nazi occupation!!! please remember the traitors of the vichey who sided with the Germans killed more of your own countrymen than this reluctant action.

"For many years, the Mail has been highlighting the damage done to society by alcohol abuse - and nobody has campaigned more vigorously for tighter rules, including an end to 24-hour licensing and cheap drink promotions."
Why not campign for a ban? The Mail constantly spreads propoganda to convince people that cannabis should be illegal, when it causes 0 deaths a year. But when it comes to the 10,000+ deaths a year that alcohol causes, you just want tighter rules, and no 24-hour licenses.
So to recap, the Mail's stance is:
0 deaths - keep it illegal
10,000+ deaths - keep it legal

We must also remember that they mutinied at Sedan and our Commanders said that we would draw rhe germans off by starting the Somme offensive where we lost so many of our troops.
As a Sovereign Nation we should always retain command of our troops and Cameron will learn this at his and our peril.

How can this work if the French have truly independent nuclear capability and Britain must go cap in hand to the US in order to use its nuclear warheads? Politicians do love their little games.

Would prof Nutt be so blase about drug abuse if he witnessed girls selling their bodies for crack? What sort of stupid, biased, uninformed and bigoted question is that??!
Shame on you, Daily Mail. Irresponsible, over-emotional and totally inaccurate rhetoric. Get real please.

“BIG FIRMS, BIG SALES: MARKETING HOUSE PLANS TO THE NATION”
“After the Civil War, architects continued to publish pattern books as their best means of obtaining commissions, but there was public resistance to the extra fee they charged for new designs, especially when builders were ready to supply free plans for any house they were hired to construct.
“Builders needed pattern books, too, but not the type architects we re-producing. To help them design and construct new homes in the latest styles, builders required pattern books that still contained elevations and plentiful structural and decorative details. They were partial to those with large-scale patterns because it was easier to take measurements off them when drawing up their own plans. To meet this demand, new architectural publishing firms began to produce these large, often folio-sized volumes while continuing to print architect's pattern books in their familiar octavo format.
“Because of industrial expansion, increasing immigration, and a burgeon¬ing population, the demand for new, less expensive houses in northern cities constantly increased. Architects were consequently under pressure to make designs less costly by drawing up the plans for homes ahead of time and offer¬ing them in catalogues for purchase by mail, an approach that eliminated the higher fee charged for custom plans.
“After Robert W. Shoppell established an immediately profitable mail¬order house plan business in 1881, the Co-operative Building Flan Association, architects across the country decided to follow suit. Some, such as George F. Barber in Knoxville.Tennessee, and Walter.). Keith in Minneapo¬lis, Minnesota, successfully sold mail-order plans to a nationwide clientele.
“Due to the lucrative marketing schemes developed by these enterpris¬ing individuals, the mail-order house plan catalogue became the third and final form of the American domestic design book. It remained the preferred medium for selling the dwelling until the end of the twentieth century.”
"Selling the Dwelling: The Books That Built America’s Houses, 1775-2000" At the Grolier Club December 11 2013-February 7 2014; Curated by Richard W. Cheek
"In December of 2013 the Grolier Club will host an extraordinary exhibition on the history of the American Dream of home ownership. Over 200 rare books, periodicals, drawings, periodicals, and printed ephemera will show how the idea of “A Home for All” was marketed in the United States, first through eighteenth-century builder’s guides, then by nineteenth-century pattern books, and finally by twentieth-century house plan catalogues.
"The plans, elevations, and large, elaborate, and often colorful perspective views in these books fueled the growth of home ownership in America. The story begins in 1775 with George Bell’s reproduction of Abraham Swan’s The British Architect, credited as the first architectural book published in America. The show will contrast early American editions of luxurious pattern books for the wealthy with a selection of the more modest “builder’s guides” used by most Americans who desired to construct a house. As the Republic grew, and novel styles of design began to challenge Classical and Federal norms, new domestic pattern books such as Alexander Jackson Davis’s Rural Residences (1837) began to offer plans and elevations in the new Italianate and Gothic styles.
"After a hiatus in building during the Civil War, American house building resumed in earnest, fueled by an explosion of architectural book publishing, which now focused on providing house plans by mail. The trend begins in 1856 with Cleaveland and Backus’s Village and Farm Cottages and Cummings and Miller’s Architecture (1865), and grows throughout the 1870s with Hussey’s 1875 Home Building, and Palliser’s Model Homes for the People (1876).
"By the 1880s the quasi-periodical publications of Robert W. Shoppell’s “Co-operative Building Plan Association” illustrate the growing importance of magazines -- Godey’s Lady’s Book, Ladies’ Home Journal, House Beautiful and House and Garden -- as a vehicle for popularizing house designs. At the turn of the century, as the demand for more small houses increased, local millwork companies and national retailers like Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward began to produce pre-cut homes that could be shipped by railroad for assembly by local carpenters. The exhibition devotes a special section to the advertising and marketing of this new mode of house-building.
"With so many different businesses issuing house plan books simultaneously, an incredible variety of often elaborately-designed and printed publications was produced, usually accompanied by other forms of advertisement such as home planning guides, company journals, flyers, posters, calendars and paper models. Focusing directly on the consumer, chiefly on women, this vast panoply of promotional material promised a tasteful, convenient, and comfortable dwelling to anyone who purchased the products and services or followed the advice being offered. The post-WWII home-building boom reinvigorated plan book production, with modernism gaining a foothold when the undecorated version of the ranch house became part of the vogue for wide, single-level houses in the 1950s and early 1960s.
"The exhibition tracks extensive and rapid changes to the literature of house building after 1970. The level of house catalogue publication declined in the 1970s and 80s, chiefly because large tract developers were making more of the design decisions for new dwellings than prospective homeowners were. Many smaller house plan publishers went out of business, and the supply of plan books was further diminished in the 1990s, as house designs became increasingly available on internet sites which offered CD-ROMS instead of printed catalogues.
"The evolution of the house design book in the United States is a long and complicated story, filled with architectural creativity and banality, commercial genius and excess, egalitarian and humanitarian ideals, literary and social ambition, can-do individualism, faith in progress and invention, and endless energy. All of these quintessential American traits are bound within the pages of the builder’s guides, pattern books, catalogues, and other forms of architectural literature that have competed for the financial and psychological rewards involved in designing and building a domestic haven for every citizen. Curator Richard W. Cheek highlights the more visually arresting and socially compelling examples of this genre, focusing on books that reveal the character of our country as much as they do the style of our houses."

"Kneeland man honored for decoy carving"
Leonard Rousseau of Kneeland recently won the World Championship title in the decorative decoy pairs division at this year’s 48th annual Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving and Art Festival in Ocean City, Maryland.
This is an international event that features about 1,200 different wildfowl carvings representing more than 150 species from around the world.
Rousseau has been carving decoys for over 30 years and has won numerous Best of Show awards. His carvings have been featured in Wildfowl Carving magazine, have been purchased by collectors from across the country and can be seen in the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Visitor Center in Loleta. His winning pair of Gadwall ducks will be on display for one year at the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It all began with an idea to show the beauty of hand-carved waterfowl and wildlife.
Since 1988, the Columbia Flyway Show has been a labor of love for the Feather and Quill Carvers Club. The show has progressed from meager beginnings in the Columbia Art Center, a converted old church basement, to motel conference rooms, to the City of Vancouver's Water Resources Education Center. The show has enjoyed a wonderful 10-year run in Vancouver.
After the hugely successful 2019 show, the event has outgrown the Center. After two non-show years due to the Covid Virus, the 2022 event was held in Astoria, Oregon, on the beautiful Oregon Coast.
The Columbia Flyway Wildlife Show has become one of the premier wildlife carving shows in the country as a result of the dedication of a small group of carvers and artists, as well as membership in the International Wildfowl Carvers Association. Carvers come from all over the U.S. and Canada to participate in the competition and to share with and learn from other carvers and artists.
The new venue, the Clatsop County Fairgrounds and Expo Center feature a new, spacious 15,000 s/f exhibit hall. Due to the size of the Expo Center, there is ample room for displays, vendors, and demos.
A large part of the success of the Flyway Show is the ongoing seminars by Professional and World Champion carvers. Friday is dedicated to a full-day, hands-on pay class. Saturday and Sunday find non-stop free and pay seminars open to all visitors.
The banquet is held in the showroom on Saturday evening. Good food, fun, and fellowship are followed by the after-dinner auction. A wonderful evening in a beautiful setting!
This new venue is picture-perfect with every amenity for a show focusing on wildlife art. Astoria, Oregon, located at the mouth of the mighty Columbia River, is rich in history. Astoria is a wonderful area to enjoy all the sites of the beautiful Oregon Coast. Lots of hotels, restaurants, and tourist sights to enjoy.
Make your plans now to attend the wildlife carving show, “ON THE OTHER COAST”.
