About 60 people turned out for the annual meeting and election. Summers praised the work done by the original commit– tee which set the Albina Neigh– borhood Center in operation. The guest speaker, Carl Shaw, regional director of the Office of Economic Oppor– tunity, emphasized that "The only way to end poverty, is to ·employ the people who are the most affected by poverty.' He said that a successful War on Poverty program has three key elements: low in– come people, institutional groups such as local govern– ment and welfare, and re– lated organizations such as labor unions, civic groups, and the school system.

Shaw said, "Some think the Green amendment is an effort to turn over OEO to politi– cal groups." He sees this as not likely to happen since War on Poverty program boards must still meet the re– quirement of having one third or more of its members made up of low income people. Shaw said, "The future is not as dark as people think; but there will be changes since we must be able to adapt and deal with today's problems and not those of 1964.''
