Council Elects Officers
Thursday Night

Mayor William F. Devin and Edwin C. Berry of Portland will address the second annual meeting of the Jackson St. Community Council on Thursday, April 22, at 8 p. m., at the Bailey Gatzert School, 12th Ave. South and Weller. "Water on the Grass Roots" has been selected by Mr. Berry, who is the executive secretary of the Urban League of Portland, as his subject.

The annual election of officers and executive committee members will take place at this meeting.

The opposing candidates for chairman are James M. Matsuoka, manager of the International Realty Company, and V. A. Velasco, secretary of the Seafood Workers' Union.

Another feature of the program will be the awarding of a plaque for outstanding service to a citizen of the Jackson St. area which has been donated to the Council by Mrs. Lela M. Hall, the outgoing chairman. "There are many people in the Jackson St. community who have made valuable contributions to the neighborhood," Mrs. Hall said. "I have wanted to give the Council something to show my appreciation for the fine co-operation of all of the members during my two years as chairman, and feel that this award is an appropriate way of paying tribute to at least one of them each year."
