Roving Reporter Gets Earful of Heated Views The Roving Reporter went roving on-Saturday evening last week. The air wa s warm and the atmosphere the same on the Albina streets. There appeared a jovial mood in all the people 1 encountered. · I met a group of gentlemen Portland, Oregon on N. Vancouver and Mason. A discussion was in progress when I arrived on the scene. I introduced myself and patiently listened to the conversation. Levi Walker of 1435 N. E. Failing, an Albina resident for 21 years, was speaking. He said, "I believe we should have fair housing, opportunity and an equal share in America. We don't want the white man's women. The white man uses ·his women as a crutch to keep us from our equality. We want to be treated as he is and I mean as men ••• The Oregon ADVANCE this is equality." "What is equality'/" asked John A. Cleveland of 121 N. Beech, a resident for 27 years. "What is equality, I ask you? I don't think the white man really knows what it means; he may as well erase that word out of his vocabulary." "I have 9 children," continued Walker. He spoke as though he did not hear Cleveland's remarks. "I am looking for a better life for each of them. We cannot deny that there is a certain amount of prejudice in our public schools. I think all children should have equal education. The white man sells us too short. He waits until· his houses have rotted out and then sells them to us. We have a rat problem and a roach problem. The white man should not judge all black people alike." "Who gave him the authority to judge anyway," interrupted Cleveland. ''Who made the white man ruler over the world telling people where to live and how to live. Who, I ask you, who?" Vol. 1, No. 7 Single Copies 109 Thursday, March 14, 1968 Walker continued by saying, "l don't think we should destroy the white man because if we attempt to do so, we destroy ourselves. You see, we have a part in this country, I think we should prohibit guns. It does not take violence to settle anything,'' Poverty War Let Us Hear Mayor Adds Class Taught What Go~s On Selections By Mitchell Committee Election Set The Advance Times wants news of the Albina Community - what the clubs are doing, church activities, weddings, business enterThe Albina War on Pov- prises, etc. erty Committee has set its If you have news, please annual election for March 22. phone the newspaper office, This is the committee that 288-6409, directs the Albina Neighbor,:- Social news may be phoned hood Service Center, directly to Mrs. George HenAn un~sually large num- · drix, 285-3156.

Teachers need in-depth experiences in social consciousness early in their training, he said. The School Citizens' Committee, a cross-section. of interested Portland citizens, has endorsed Batiste for one of the three school board positions to be filled. Batiste is the first Negro to be recommended by the committee and, should he win, would be Portland's first Negro school board member. Usually those candidates selected by the School Citizens' Committee are elected. The other two candidates selected were Jonathan Newman and Paul Howe. An engineer in test and development for Bonneville Power Administration, Batiste, 45, would bring to the board an expert's background in dealing with employmentmanagement problems. Batiste suggested that an (Continued on Page 8) For Board Mayor Terry Schrunk has added his selections to the Citizens' Planning Board for the Model Cities Program.

Carter Quits Committee The resignation of Rev. George E. Carter, Jr., chairman of the Albina Citizens War on Poverty Committee, was announced at a board meeting March 6. With deep regret, the board accepted the resignation. Carter is the pastor of Allen Temple, C.M.E. Church, George Carter, Jr. and one of the original 13 members of the Albina Citizens War on Poverty Committee. His devotion and dedication to this committee brought about the establishment of the Albina Neighborhood Service Center. He served two and a half terms as chairman of the committee. He was elected to serve as Vice-Chairman of the Portland Metropolitan Steering Committee. Carter was involved in almost every community activity which had as its goal the betterment of Albina and its citizens. Carter and his wife, Jeanette, have been residents of Portland for the last five years. Before coming to Portland, they pastored in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where they were responsible for building a new church. They are the parents of two daughters and three sons. Mrs. Carter said that her (Continued on Page 8) Inter Group Diredor To Be Named The Portland School Board will establish a position of Inter Group Relations Director. Both teacher associations, which do not often ·get together, did in this case and both urged the board to take the action that it finally did Monday evening after a number of presentations. Robert E. Nelson, speaking for a community group, told the board that a Negro should be named to the position. The board took no action on this and said a committee headed by Supt. Barnes would work out the details of the work to be done by the director. Nelson said the director should be on the level of an assistant superintendent. Both school and community representatives will be on the committee, The Urban League also endorsed appointment of an inter-group director, Ellls Casson, presenting the UL's report, also asked for racial integration so that no high school should have more than one-fourth of its student body made up of any one racial minority. The UL also asked for promotion of qualified Negro teachers to administrative positions. Walter Morris told the board it was shocking to learn that not a single Negro was in an administrative position in the Portland public schools. He questioned the board's real interest in recruiting Negro teachers. The board said lack of funds had hampered recruiting. "Listen," shouted Cleveland, "It's going to take some violence to solve this problem. We can't wait another 100 years; we are going to take some action now to solve this problem," Fearing the eruption of argumentative violence, your reporter hastened on his way. Joe Bell, a 21-year-old resident of Albina who lives at 3209 N. Mississippi, drove up to the market on N. ,Vancouver and seeing me with my pad and pencil, engaged in a warm conversation.

McCoy Jr,, who made one of the bestshowings by a Negro in a Portland election when he got 39,000 votes for the city council in 1964, was in the .news this week with a campaign to limit the terms of city councilmen. McCoy proposed that members of the council be limited to two terms - or eight years - without a break. He prepared petitions for this. He said this was the only way it was possible to overcome the name familiarity of those in office, Commissioner W i 11 i am Bowes has served for 29 years, Commissioner Stanley Earl for 16 years and Mayor Terry Schrunk for 12 years. McCoy said he is thinking about running for office this year but said he had not made up his mind what office it would be. Black Culture Happening Set by Seattle Group An intense offering of Black Culture is the promise of "Modus-Quan," an entertainment "happening" sponsored by the Albina Art Center, to take place Friday, March 29, at 7 p.m. in the Center's Auditorium. "Modus-Quan" is an ensemble of young performers from various art fields in Seattle, involved with poetry, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock 'n roll, soul "more or less," ballet and modern dance, and a few minor art displays. The purpose of this group is "to perform, to inspire, and to show black people as well as others what exists in culture, what is happening in the black culture, what is possible, and where it might be going. Guiding force behind the "Modus-Quan" is Aaron Dumas, a young writer in Seattle, whose works have been performed locally and who has had some recent commissions for Cascade College. The show will last roughly three hours with the first half-hour given to the art exhibit and opening remarks.

The Oregon Advance/TIMES gives to our community a newspaper which factually reports the news of our area and aggressively seeks the full rights of our citizens. It will provide a forum for community expression and help people become more conscious of their obligations to themselves and their community. In all this, the truth, as we see it, will be consistently presented. Page 2 Vol. 1, No. 7 March 14, 1968 We',e P,oud ol Team, Jefferson and Washington high schools have had a remarkable season in basketball and the entire city is proud of them. The Black community is especially proud because of the excellent record of the Negro members of the two teams. Not only did two from each make the AllCity team but one from each was picked for the All-State team by both the Journal and the Oregonian. By the time this is in print one or both of them may have been defeated in the state tournament or both may be still fighting for the state championship. Whether they win or lose they have been a credit to the community and the Advance Times salutes them. All Can Oo a Pan It makes a lot of difference what you've been used to. A high school student from Detroit, Mich., spent a week in the Portland area and after visiting Albina said it was clean and attractive and well kept. Compared to the mile after mile of incredible slums of the Detroit ghetto that's true - but true only in degree. Albina has its proud and dignified residents who keep their homes and businesses neat and clean. But it also has its share of residents who don't care and whose homes show it. Because Albina is so small compared to the ghettos of the big eastern cities they aren't so noticeable. But they are there. A lot of work is being done - by the Neighborhood Improvement Association, by agencies from the Neighborhood Service Center, by private groups and others to stir up pride and help make Albina an attractive, pleasant place. One thing is sure. There's a lot of room for self-help. It doesn't take any federal grant to pull a weed, push a lawn mower or plant a flower. This is the sort of thing many in Albina have been doing and more should be encouraged to join them. Thi, i1 What All Need Did you notice in the TV reports from the prison riot in Salem that one of the things the convicts needes was hope? So many of their worries could be eased if they had hope. And that's not far from the problem in the ghettos of America. The people need hope of a better future - in their lifetime. A Ro1e bg Ang Name We are getting into the season of the beauty contests and that should bring one point of agreement: Miss Tan could be called Miss Black or Miss Negro or Miss Afro-America and everyone would still say, a pretty girl is a delight. As William Shakespeare said, a rose by any other name would be as sweet. Mote New, Help, Something is at work. The Portland newspapers the Oregonian and the Oregon Journal - have been printing a lot more favorable news about Albina than they used to. Maybe all the publicity about Model Cities has helped stir them to remember we're here. Maybe the report of the National Commission on Civil Disorders helped. Whatever the reason, they seem to have got the word that Portland's City Hall needs to be told to open its eyes and look around and that the people on the other side of the river need to hear about the problems while they can still be solved. No matter what the reason, it's an encouraging thing and the Advance Times Joms the rest of Albina in feeling pleased about it. Recognition is one of the first things needed before progress can start. .___/ ~-~_f1_'_eop_ te_5_~----1, ~:;;~; Aids The Albina community does not have a single voice. Each person has Ideas that are his own and many groups speak only for their members. This newspaper in its editorials says what its editorial board believes. But it is only one of the voices of Albina. You, too, have a voice. Jl.nd you can speak out by writing letters to the editor. Our pages are small and our space is limited. So please speak about things here, at home. If we do not have room for all letters, those that are about national and international affairs will have to be set aside in favor of letters that talk about the special problems and hopes of people here at home. And keep them short. If they run over 250 words, we probably will have to shorten them. EX-PRINTER'S DEVIL To the Editor: Enclosed find check for a year's subscription to your paper. Please begin this with the first issue (Vol. I, No. 1) as 1 would like to keep a complete file. There has been a definite need for such a publication, and I wish you a long and prosperous career. I began my working life as a "printer's devil" on a small country newspaper at the age of 15, receiving the huge salary of $1.00 for each 48hour week. However, it served to introduce me into the job printing business later on. Thank you, Doris V. Kobe 131 N. E. Tillamook Street Portland COMMENDS WRITER To the Editor: I wish to commend Rob Lawson on his article in the Feb. 29 issue of the Oregon Advance Times. If more students had the courage to express their opinions, maybe the administration at Jefferson would be forced to do something to ~lleviate the unfortunate situation there. They seem to have the attitude that if they ignore it, it wi~l go away. Unfortunately things do not work out this way. I personally enjoy reading the Oregon Advance Times and commend the editor and reporters on their work, especially the "Roving Reporter." 1 sincerely believe this publication will give the people of this community a better understanding of the attirudes and problems cf the Albina district. Roberta J. De1Sol 6106 N. E. 11th Ave. WHO HAS ANSWER? To the Editor: Our congresswoman, Edith Green, sponsored an amendment to the War on Poverty bill and, with the aid of Southern Democrats and conservative Republicans, put it into effect. This is an amendment that seriously threatens the War on Poverty program. This amendment puts the programs under state, county or city control. Mrs. Green's argument is that the program is not fulfilling its objective and that the Job Coll'S is not performing the services it was set up to do. ment or solution to the problems they previously failed to solve.

Trainee Bonita Benford graduated from Cleveland High School with better-than-average grades. She entered Portland Community College to do a year of college work before entering nurse's training. She had worked as a motel maid during the summer and received some help on a work study program. In spite of this, Bonita was forced to drop out of the Community College for financial reasons. She went to the Albina Service Center for help and was referred to the Youth Opportunity Center for a job to earn money so that she could go on with her nurse's training, When one of her first employers didn't pay her the wages agreed upon, her counselor at the Youth Opportunity Center sent her to the office of the state labor Bonita Benford commissioner for help in getting the money due her. Bonita and her counselor worked to develop a training opportunity for her in a hospital, This took time, and she held some minor, temporary jobs while this was going on. Bonita has found her first training job now. She is training at Good Samaritan Hospital. She is not training as an ordinary nurse's aide. Her school record and personality have qualified her to train as an assistant surgical technician. She is enjoying her training, and she and her counselor are looking forward to her going on apd becoming a registered nurse. I cannot agree with the lady from Oregon for many reasons, but the one I would like to explain now is very simple and very brief. It is this: For more years than many can remember, there has been a ghetto and rundown housing in Portland. Houses have been condemned but nothing has happened to them. Bad wiring, poor sanitation were all ignored. Now, if something had been done to correct the run-down area, if code enforcement had been adhered to, more interest taken with employment problems, we would never have needed the'poverty programs so badly.

Charter members, Does Voter Total Keep Pace? by EMILE SUMMERS In the 1962 survey taken by the Portland Planning Commission, the Albina area was divided into sections. These were classified as the study area No. 1 and central Albina No. 2. At that time the Negro population was concentrated in what was known as central Albina. a district bordered by Broadway on the south, Fremont on the north, Union Avenue on the east and the freeway on the west. The census count at that time was broken down thusly: City, total population was 372,676; the study area was 36,174, and central Albina was· 7,111. Non-white residents in the city totaled 20,- 919; in the study area, 13,078 and in central Albina, 4,926. The percentage of non-white were: City, 5.6%, study area, 36.2% and central Albina, 69.4%. At that time the average income was: City, $6,333 per year; study area was $5,065 per year and in central Albina, $3,946 per year. I would estimate that the non-white population, from the 7,111 in 1962, has increased to at least 18,000 of voting age. Voting agel There is the rub. How many of these people have registered to vote?

Assemblies Rock Private Jobs Opening Up A drive to get private employers to open up jobs for minority group members is under way by the Albina Neighborhood Service Center's job counseling and placement department. Tom Wilson, director of the department, said that Western Electric Co., 1235 N. E. 47th Ave., was one of 11 firms that responded to a letter of inquiry sent to 35 companies. Western Electric issued a statement saying that in an effort to encourage employment of minority group individuals it will consider applicants whether or not they have a high school education; whether or not they are able to pass the company's aptitude test; and whether or not they possess a criminal record. It said that it is trying to deal with two problems: The unskilled adult who needs a job and the young people who need jobs. On the first, the company provides training for the unskilled; on the second; ittries to see that students are prepared - both in education and motive - to take advantage of job possibilities. Wilson said Western Electric llad agreed to hire employees from minority groups in all capacities of its operation. At present, he said, the company was seeking eight installers whose work would take · them throughout the state. • I ,r March 14, 1968 The Oregon Advance/TIMES Page 7 Federal Job Openings Reported Some SO or m"re positions esp e c i a 11 y for minority with federal agencies will be group applicants and other filled between now and sum- disadvantaged persons will mer. be given in March to qualify An examination designed them for these jobs.

Two assemblies rocked to stage presentations of black culture and the black "soul" that generates it. It was so successful that the program, directed by senior Janice Poe, may be given at other high schools. The program began with a scene in Africa, the wellspring of the black ''soul music" of today. The audience was then brought to the period of black slavery in the South, where the crack of the siavemaster's whip punctuated slow singing of "Swing Lot, Sweet Chariot." The church, for years an important part of black American culture, was represented by a choir of youth dressed in purple robes who filled the stage while Charles Hunter, a senior, portrayed a Negro preacher.
