ADVANCE Vol.1,No. 27 714Y2 N. E. Alberta, Portland, Oregon Union Avenue Boosters Club Gets Report On Model Cities Planning The Reverend Mr. Paul Schulze told the Union Ave– nue Boosters Club at a meet– ing Tuesday morning that the prospects for new white busi– ness in the Albina area is not bright. The executive director of the Model Cities program in– dicated that businessmen in the black communities should begin a management training program in which the Negro can eventually take over the business or go into business for himself. Schulze stressed the need of the community to solicit and develop leadership. "There are not enough ex– periences across the color line to eliminate prejudice,'' he said. Black Power is Pride ''Black power is a feeling of new pride, of self accep– tance, that black is not in– ferior as some have l>eld. For too long bad has been done to the biack. Now, too much good is being done. The blacks don't want help. They want to help themselves, to determine their own destiny. Proprietorship Needed "The black man wants to develop an economic strength so that he will have the power to make decisions affecting him," Schulze told his break– fast audience, adding, "We must recognize his need for a sense of proprietorship - of ownership and representa– tion." Schulze prefaced his re– marks about the progress of Model Cities by citing the purpose of the survey as a method of better meeting the problems of urban areas. He indicated that the six depart– ments of planning embraced education, employment, health and safety, physical environ– ment and housing. •'There is some impatience with the planning because of crisis situations," Schulze said,. '' and we are working against deadlines," he added. Plans which are now ap– proaching purposefulness are in the areas of employee– employer relations, and a commission for further study is indicated. One of the in– terests of the commission is that an ample number of local residents be employed on any future construction projects within the Model Cities area. "The Model Cities com– mittees have been working on a community development corporation which would bring together existing and planned resources so that area cit– izens could go into business for themselves," Schulze re– vealed. One of the needs which seems urgent, according to Schulze , is a multi- service information center which would eliminate the frustra– tions of people seeking the right governmental agency, only to be told that they had to go to such and such a bureau first, and to have this futility multiplied again and again. "ln the Model Cities plan– ning, emphasis is on urban renewal, rehabilitation, new construction and education and health. It should be kept in mind that the present phase of the Model Cities program is planning," Schulze added. Membership Increases Tuesday of each month. Lynn Kirby is president of the group. Booster Project Plans A project of the Boosters now under consideration is the purchase and placement of refuse containers at stra– tegic points along Union Ave- nue.

Bussey's Success Storied Don Bussey' s story of ath– letic success can be contri– buted to determination and a willingness to excel. Bussey comes from a family of one sister and two brothers. His basketball career started at Highland in the sixth grade. He participated only because his friends played basketball. Attending Jefferson High School only occurred by coin– cidence as Bussey states - "I was just following the crowd." In his freshman year Don did not play on any of the athletic teams. The person who revived his interest in basketball wasn't a coach but his grade buddy - Gary Ladd, Gary convinced Don that he had the abl1lity by playing with him daily. In Bussey' s Sophomore year he made the junior varsity basketball team but didn't see much action. In quoting Don "the guys made fun of me plus I didn't take it serious." After the· basketball season, Bussey was determined to im– prove himself so, with the as– sistence of Riley, the basket– ball coach and Ladd developed "moves" which enhanced his play. From his dedication to learn he played first string guard with Ladd as a senior and made second team all-city. The most thrilling moment 1n his high school career was per– forming against Klamath Falls (Continued on Page 8) July 25, 1968 Family Center Moves The Low Income Family Emergency Center has been moved to the corner of N.
