Page 8 The Oregon Advance/TIMES August 1, 1968 Self Help Important At Center Army Rec·ruiter Re-ups I ''Life stands for low in– come family emergency. At Life Center, families or in– dividuals may receive emer– gency supplies such as furni– ture, household articles, food, clothing, and bedding, Those receiving help must volunteer time and labor. This time and labor is to be used by sorting, cleaning, and · repairing items donated to the Life Center. The items will be given to others in need who in return will be asked to volunteer their services, There must also be an at– tempt and desire to help themselves out of the situa– tion which contributed to their inability to be self– sustaining. They are en– couraged to attend the many classes in the community, such as workshops in sew– ing techniques, educating, child-care, discussion clas– ses, upholstering, crafts, consumer education, legal redress and job techniques, Of course there is no guar– antee that the sources will help but we let people know that they are available.

Life Center is the brain– child of the employees of the Albina Neighborhood Service Center while working as Community Service Workers. One can see the real needs of the people when their homes are visited and you have free face-to-face talks with them. Recognizing these needs the workers began so– liciting food, furniture, cloth– ing, bedding and household articles from every available source until all garages and basements were overflowing, Program Expanding The first space occupied by Life Center was a small place on the corner of Beech and Williams. Next it was moved to Fremont and Union, The progress was slow and Life was then moved to Union and Monroe. Money used to pay for rent and utilities of Life came from benefits put on by Em– ployees Association and from the helpers of the Center, Word of the Life Center soon reached the 0, C, 0. and we were informed that be– ginning July 1, 1968, they were to receive a small grant to help get them established, This is to be a demonstration project for six months, The Center is still depend– ent upon donations of all articles to help to continue the program, The present address is 321 Things are moving at the C-CAP's summer project at Highland Church at 9th and Going, About a month ago (June 17) the project began when young people from all over Portland charged on the Highland Center with mops, buckets, dust cloths, and soap. By the end of the day the Church was cleaned and ready for service, In the following weeks the staff was able to procure a variety of supplies from businessmen around the city, which enabled them to extend their services and broaden N. E. Russell Street. The phone number is 284-6878, The people at Life Center will pick up all things if you wish to give. Th~y are a real necessity, With your help we can continue this program and at the end of the trial period some bene– factor may realize the help that our community is pro– viding for the city of Port– land.

Some of the supplies included volleyball, ping-pong tables, badminton equipment for the recreation department; several type– writers and instruction books for the typing class, and books for the reading class. The recreation activities have included swimming at Peninsula Park, and archery at Washington Park, The high point for the rec– reation department was last weekend, when a group of about 40 young people ranging in age from 5 to 19 .went to Camp MacGruder. Insurance "For the great mass of people with dependents," says Soloman Huebner, Pro– fessor of Insurance at the University of Pennsylvania, "Life insurance should be the first type of security to be purchased. Where a depend– ent family is at stake, it is the height of folly to urge in– vestment in other directions, and it is quite beside the point to offer laborious ex– planations of the relative merits of various das!jeS of bonds and other types of in– vestments, "The first duty of every man is to protect his house– hold against want in case of premature death, and this can be don~ only through the pur– chase of an adequate amount of life insurance. As is well known, life insurance offers a convenient and safe method of accumulating a savings fund at a very fair rate of return, But the greatest pur– pose of life insurance is to protect. It takes time to save, and where dependents must be protected, life in– surance alone guarantees the accumulation of a competency against the contingency of the saving method being cut short by an untimely death, The great mass of people live only within the life in– surance stage and are re– moved by thousands of dol– lars from the point where they can judiciously become direct investors along other lines."
