Roving Reporter Dancers Brighten Day Sunday afternoon is certain– ly an excellent time to meet people. When the weather is nice it seems you are cer– tain to meet nice people. First I met eight yount– sters returning from a danc– ing lesson at the Albina Art The Dancers Carolyn Williamson, 20, of 3441 N.E. 15th, a graduate of Girls Poly. Both girls were born in Albina and feel there should be more inter– racial fellowship, more proj– ects done together. They said, "The less we know about each other, the more suspicious we are. We should face the facts and put the blame where it is." When asked about the possibility of rioting in Portland this sum– mer, they remarked, "the more we discuss it, the more it prevails upon us. We re– alize there is a riot element in our midst and there must be more preventive action taken than talk." They felt that the President's Commit. tee on Urban Riots was justi– fiable but said however, ''In some cities, we are going to have racial upheaval this sum– mer but we are optimistic about Portland." Center. They are learning jazz, tap and ballet. Their instructor comes from Bea– verton High School and meets with them from 2 to 4 p.m. each Sunday. The youngsters showed a great deal of en– thusiasm over their dance lessons. They are all stu– dents at Holladay School with the exception of little Q.T. Buggs, in front, who was more interested in the camera than the lessons. The girls in– cluded Beverly Gay, Juatorsho Gay, Sheree Ingram, Reba Reese, Patricia Flippen, and Brenda Boatright. I thanked w the girls for their enlighten– ing remarks on dancing and Thus I concluded another fine afternoon on the streets.

I met Gary Hames, an 18-.year- old graduate from Jefferson High who is present– ly enrolled in the apprentice- Gary Hames ship program. Gary lives with his family at 1145 N.E. Roselawn and has lived in the Albina area for approximate– ly seven years. He thinks that Albina should have fewer slums and more healthful rec-– reation for the youth of this area. . Mrs. Canute Brown of 4018 N. Montana Ave., started work March 4 for Dr. John Runckel, 1656 S.E. Clay– bourne Street in Portland.

Help the handicapped by giving repairable discards to Good– will. You will feel better, by a bagful. l He said, "I think some form of recreation with spiritual values is a must for our gen– eration." He continued with, "There is certainly a spiri– mal decay within the ranks of the youth today. I suppose the Model City program should eradicate the slums but only church-involved pro grams can help our spiritual decay. We need more integration in our public schools and youth opportunities should be pub– lidzed more." Newsboy Maurice Phillips delivers the Oregon Advance TIMES to one of his customers, Mrs. William Banister, 205 N. E. Stanton Street. He and the other 80 newsboys will call on residents throughout the area to invite them to become paid subscribers of the Oregon Advance TIMES. When asked about possible riots this summer, Gary re– plied, • 'If there were more jobs for youths there would be less violence and crime. I am certain that spiritual help is the only solution for our problems, both white and black.·• I thanked Gary for these heartwarming remarks and started on my way.

Nance, the club lead– er, to the Angels' Rest Trail. Half-way up the two-mile trail, the club crossed over Coopy Falls by way of four logs spanning the stream. The falls were very beauti– ful, being surrounded by bamboo-like reeds. All along the trail the trees were sprouting their buds. On the trail were leaves, acorns and a few fir cones.

The club is planning other trips even more exciting.
