The AMA, representing 42 churches in Albina, passed the following statement: "We give o~r support to those in our couhtry, who by peaceful protest, remind Americans that the War in Asia is far from over, and the War on Poverty tn America is hardly begun. "With trembling prayer, we acknowledae that the United States stands under the world's judoement toward our means to achieve peace, justice and true human progress. We believe the Lord of history will judge all men, women, and younq people on their acceptance of national priorities, and how federal tax monies are spent. We support President N~xon's efforts to remove American combat troops from Asia. We encouraqe him to move forward rapidly toward total disengagement from the war. We recognize an acceptable peace cannot be achieved· without patience, sacrifice, and extensive reconstruction assistance from the United States. "We p1edge that unt i 1 the military war is ended, we will devote one sermon each month to the poverty war, and the individual's responsi bi 1ity in peace- milking. "We call upon religious communities to examine the unhappy condition of our country, and the overwhelming needs of the poor people. We believe genuine solutions for the War on Poverty in America lie in an attack mounted at every level upon the conditions that breed poverty, violence, and dis-unity. "We believe Americans know what those conditions are; ignorance, discrimination, hunger, disease, sickness, not enough jobs, lack of opportunity. We believe Americans should attack these conditions not because we are frightened by difficulty but because W& are fired by conscience. We should attack them because ther is simply no other way to achieve the dream of Rev. Martin Luther V.ing; "That one day this na .. tion will rise up and live out the true meanina of its creed. ..... That all men are created equal." "MOM OF YEAR" VISITS OREGON Mrs. V.A.

CAN vru PLACE THE FACE? A NEW FEATURE BEGPlNING NOW NEW PARK TO BE BUllT IN WOODLAWN AREA BY PDC A 7.9 acre city park for the Woodlawn area got the go-ahead this week from City Council. The park, which will be developed directly sout~ west of Woodlawn School, wi 11 require the removal of 34 houses and several streets. Development of the park will be carried out by the Portland Development Commission as part of the Woodlawn Neighborhood Development Program. No opposition to the park was voiced at the City Council meeting Wednesday. A handful of Woodlawn residents appeared to support the plan. The Portland Development Commission and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development have joined to make available $1.74 million for the upgrading of the Woodlawn and Irvington Districts. The money will be spent over a one year period, beginning July lst. Although a second year may be funded, 80% of the work must be completed in the first year. PDC budget will notallow for the completion of the park in the first yedr, according to Executive Director John Kenward. But the property acquisition, demolition, ground leveling and seeding will be finished. The city will develope the park after the first year, he said. An estimated $253,000 will be spent to purchase the properties on the site. No properties will be acquired unti 1 after July lst. The site of the park will run 2 l/2 blocks north from Woodlawn School grounds along NE Woodlawn, southwesierly to Dekum Street. NE 13th Avenue and NE 9th Avenue are expected to be the East and West limits. Plans for the park also have the approval of the Woodlawn Irprovement Association, School District No. 1, the fire and police planning commissions, and the city's park traffic, engineering and design offices. 75 SEEK SEATS ON BOARD Seventy-five men and women from a wide variety of occupations have been nominated for seats on the School Advisory Board, set up under Dr. Blanchar's Plan for the '70's. There are 21 seats open on the 3 advisory boards. Thirty students have also been nominated and six will be chosen to fill seats on the board. Students were recommeded by their schools, and two wi 11 be chos en f r om each are a.

\ HUGHES VIEWS ---··· ----...... ---.... ----------- -.. -.. ---.. -----.. (By Bob Hughes} -·------ ... --.................... -----.......... ---.................. .. A SEPARATE POLICE FORCE A few people in Albina would like to have a separate Police Department formed and operated within the Central area. I definitely think that such a move would paralize not only Albina, but more so, the theme "respect" would be a thing of the past. This writer, therefore, cannot and will not support such a thina. The.Portland Police-Department is one of the finest in the nation. You talk about brutality, hostility, etc.; it's rather scarce in this city in comparison to other major cities throuohout the land. We have a far more stable police force in Portland than in Seattle, only miles al'/ay, not to mention Oakland, a distant city. Why must we think of sepratism in this modern era? Can we arrive at some other alternative in dealing with the problems of the community, the city and our state? I feel that the .answer is not in the offering of so-called separate Police funtioninq. At that rate, Albina will become another city within the "realm" of Portland, Oregon's lar9est metropolis. I have lived and worked in the South, where they do have such qoinas on and it isn't the answer. Yes, Black Policemen are serving on the Police forces in n rna or c y. bbt they are not allowed to make arrests on white citizens. Is this democracy or freedom of choice? The very same could and would be the situation in Portl0nd, if people are so blind to fall for this. It v1ill be black aaainst black and the whites will not render their support. The Blacks will have won victory, but will suffer the consequences. I have witnessed that fact in Jackson r~ississippi, where Negro policemen are assigned to serve in their own communities, but when it comes time for them to~ arrest another of his race, they beat and abuse the~ no matter what the situation is. No, I can't settle for having Black policement only in the Albina community. The Negroes in this country are asking for one thing and practicing another When will the time come v1hen we wi 11 learn to stand firmly on one issue, instead of jumping the gun? I have said this before and may I repeat by saying: First, we must know ourselves, before we are to uriderstand the other fellow. The very same applies to our community. We must know the problems as well as their cause before we can ao into other levels of soci~ty. We must be equipped in order to talk the white man's language. The Albina community has long lacked true and total lea~ership. How can the voices be heard clearly when there is no defined leadership within. For Portland to have a separate police department in the Albina, people·residina in this area will have a separate tax base. Surely Oregonians would be reluctant to have their taxes increased at any rate! No that isn't the looical solution. Try some other method, perhaps it could fit the bill. Jl.s for now, let's see to it that our present and future policemen are given the best in trainina.

Brooks and Mrs. Folen were the only delegates from the Northwest to attend the con fe ren ce. · The organization also plans to "challenge agencies which control housing patterns to implement open housing." It also will launch plans for a "Shopper's Sunday" across the country where National Neighbors wit.h fair housing councils will test real estate practices in both white and integrated areas and concurrently file discrimination practice complaints. White and black members of National Neighbors would seek to buy the same homes, and complaints will be filed in the event of preferencial treatment given to white "shoppers." Spokesmen at the conference declared that the tools and mechanisms for creating "pluralistic neighborhoods" are now available by making existing discriminatory practices unprofitable to real estate agents. "All these represtatives talked for three days about the problems in their own communities which impede neighborhood stabilization.

------.---~-- The day gan muah like any other day~ they were all the same somehow~ eaah running into the oth~r like the motion of a pinwheel. Stiff hands reaahed for a shaggy head to saratah an unknown nuisanae as the pinah of a gnawing hunger settled in his stomaah. Crossing the street~ he realized his worn and tattered alothes would not serve him for the aoming Winter~ but it really didn't matter. His mind fQught for aonsaiousness as he planned today 's seara}-o for food. The empty streets told him it was Sunday~ and there would be few people today ... eyes that had long sinae lost the luster of youth gave little notiae to the aountless number of alley ways~ pawn shops, empty stores and dreary taverns and bars. His mind turned to Mary and their brief partnership, there had always been food when they worked together. But she was gone, and he was alone again. His brain was remembering previous ways of rel~eving the now swelling pain in his stomaah: Christ Yes!!! The Soup Kitahen, food and shelter for the day - the priae would be small~ a prayer or two. Relieved from the pressure of aonaerted thought, his mind turned to his friend. A near smile reaahed his lips, as he thought few people would ever know suah a friend. It was always there, never question~ ing, never demanding~ always there. He remembered past gut feelings of anxiety when it was painted last year~ but it never really ahanged- still smooth and worn from use~ with its alphabet engravings only slightly filled with paint. His mind turned to summers when he had shared its surfaae with laughing ahildren and gloating parents and how grass woulc grow up its spindly legs, those were good days . . There are many suah aonfigurations in the park, but this partiaular one was his friend, aompanion and home. The sun was wedging itself between two buildings in the near aity, and a signal to return to it. Clumsy, staggered steps lead him down now familiar streets and alleys, through smells and odors that at a previous time made him siak, today hardly notiaed. Another bloak or two and he would be home. What!! Someone was there!!! A Blaak Bastard was on His Benah!!! His heart pulsed with rage~ awkward steps turned to a run. He was nearly upon him. With his arrival, an outstretahed arm bent on destruation of this tresspasser was halted As eyes more weary and hopeless than his own asked for meray. What had onae been blind rage~ settled into a aalm as quiakly as it had arisen. Blaak joined white and many hours of aonversation passed. He gathered the stranger had been a aarpenter in a small town before he had beaome a man of words. He spoke of follwoers and arowds, of an age before - and of the rejeation and despair of today. Never aould he remember seeing suah defeat and hopelessness as he saw in this Blaak Stranger beside him. Old remembered feelings of empathy reaahed out for him as he thought here is a areature more forgotten than himself. He deaided to take him to the Soup Kitahen for at least one meal. But the stranger, obviously weak from hunger and travel~ dealined the offer. As the Blaak man rose to leave, he notiaed two large saars on the palm of eaah hand as he said "Bless you my son".

Thad Spencer, the heavy w~ight title contender who worked his way through the ranks from Portland's amateur boxing program, will fight Roby Harris of San Francisco in the main event at the Portland Sports arena on June 25th. Out of 44 pro-fights this will be Spencer'sthird fight in Portland. He came out of retirement earlier this year. Recently, Spencer battled to a draw with Charlie Reno ' in Seattle and then two weeks ago lost a 10-round decision to Tony Doyle in Minneapol~s. Minn. The boxer showed well in the Doyle bout, prompting his new handler, Mike Morton, to comment, "This guy can still fight." Spenc~r beat Ernie Terrell in the WBA heavyweight elimination tournament in 1967, but lost in the semifinals to Jerry Quarry. Spencer's opponent for this fight has lost only four of 14 fights. Tickets for the bout will be sold at Stevens and Son Jewelers, Tik-Tok Restaurant and at Bill's Gold Coin. (Continued from Page 7) advantaqe.

WAGE ASSIGNMENT GIMMICK Very often when credit is extended to a wage earner, 'the merchant o·r·lender will have the borro·.:::r siqn a pi e-c e of pape r _,ca11 ed "Wage Assignment". Many people simp1y s i gn i t with OJ t reading it, thinking it's just something else which must be signed in order to get the money or the products they need to Guy on credit, For 8 to 15 year olds, Camp Collins Resident Camp is open. Scholarships are available to help youths finance their way to summer camp. Boys and girls 13 years old and up can attend Aquatic Camp at Spirit Lake Camp Meehan. Water skiing, boating and canoeing are the highlites of Camp Meehan. Two pack trips are also scheduled, one for boys 13 and up and one for families. The North Branch Y will also offer swim instruction classes for families. The "Parent 'N Child" class will enable a parent to help his child (6 mos. thru kindergarten) to'learn to swim. Family recreation swims will be held on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturdays. 0 Boys and Girls, 6 to 12 years old, can participate in Gym-Swim instruction. All classes are coed-and 40 minutes are devoted to instruction in swiming with another 40 for gym. Membership at the Y can be purchased for three months ·for $25.(family unit) or $~0 for the year. Well, this small, s1mp1e document may provide that up to 10% (and maybe more) of the wage earner's wages can be taken from his employer if the payments are not promptly make on the loan. What happens if the product to be purchased on credit is defective? If the buyer tried to stop payments, he may find his wages assigned and his employer telling him, "Get this cleared up or you're fired." Many people just go ahead and pay even for a bad product in order to keep their jobs. Furthermore, the sudden loss of 10%of a family's income can often severely damage the family finances. They have to pay this money with no opportunity to defend themselves in court - with no fair hearing at all. It is hoped that a bill will pass the Legislature next year outlawing wage assignments and referral sales. If you would like to see either or both of these evils abolished, let your elected representatives krow (The purpose of this colJ mn is to inform readers of some of the more serious legal problems encountered by the citizens of the Albina community.
