Voters Get Chance
To Pass FEPC Law
At Polls April 7
Despite the expressed will of
180,000 Michigan voters who
signed petitions for a State Fair
Employment Practices law, the
Legislature refused to take any
action on the_ matter. As a
result, the bill will be placed on
the ballot in the election of
April 7.
The law provides that when
the legislature does not act in
such a case, the voters shall have
the opportunity to express them-
selves at the polls. If it receives
enough votes, it then becomes
law.
The office of the Michigan
Council for Fair Employment
Practices Legislation, 803 'Wash-
ington Boulevard Bldg.. Detroit
26, is ready to supply literature,
speakers or any other assistance.
Mrs. Olive Beasley, executive
secretary of the Michigan Coun-
cil, has issued a warning against
organizations soliciting funds for
the anti-FEPC fight. Experience
in other states has shown that
such groups have collected money
on the promise they will oppose
a FEPC and then use the funds
for a campaign of race-hatred.
ZOD Chapter I Plans
Open Meeting Thursday
Palestine. The presentation was
made by two Broadway child
stars, Richard Tyler and Joyce
Van Patten, for the American
Christian Palestine Committee.
The Memorial Forest, to be
situated near Nazareth, is a gift
of the Christian children of the
United States in memory of the
1,000,000 Jewish children killed
in Europe during the war.
In accepting the certificate,
President Truman and Senator
Owen Brewster of Maine, a co-
chairman of the Committee, who
participated in the ceremony,
said they would like to go to
Palestine and see the trees grow.
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
Anderson was also present.
Secretary Anderson pointed out
that the memorial served the
two-fold purposes of acquainting
American children with the
human problem of the Jewish
children who perished under
Hitler, and of helping them to
understand the problems of soil
conservation through reforesta- 1
tion. Tyler, currently starring in
the Broadway play, "Christopher
Blake," told the group that "if
more than a million Jewish chil-
dren were old enough to die.
then we are old enough to do
something about it."

AN INSIDE STORY
of a
LIFE ASSURANCE
SERVICE
The Balance Sheet of Canada's largest life assurance
company reveals 1946 as one of the most progressive
periods since the Sun Life issued its first policy 76 years
ago, but figures alone tell little of the human story
behind this great co-operative enterprise. For instance,
last year over $100 million was paid out in benefits..
What did this mean to the thousands of policyholders
and beneficiaries who shared it? Here in brief is some
of the story between the lines:
Durini. 1946 over $31 mil-
lion was paid in DEATH
BENEFITS, providing a
continuing income for wi-
dows and children and
assuring financial security
to thousands of homes.
Another $30 million was
paid in ENDOWMENTS,
furnishing for many the
cash or life income neces-
sary to carry out long
cherished plans.

your economic stability, and that of many thousands
