Teen-ager Writes To be a teenager, is to be a young adult. Some parents think that when you're a teenager you're still a child. But you're a young adult, one who is still maturing to become a full-grown adult. Some teenagers think they're grown already, but they are not. They just think they are. I think as soon as you turn 13 you are ready for parties, dates, and dances, and you're supposed to sometimes, but most of the time school is to be thought about. So all I am saying is tli t w~-... r- yvt. ru:-n 13 that is the best time in your life, Theresa Ferguson 4115 N, Kerby Age 13 The Reason for Pride The reason I am proud of my race is because of the many things which our ancestors have done in the past. They have given us something to be proud of, but they have also given us something to think about and something to look forward to. Our race is moving up everyday and in every way, even though a lot of people don't realize it. Because in this very day and age a lot of well-known people who are trying to settle differences are black people.

Albina Neighborhood Service Center News The Albina Neighborhood Service Center, with the help of staff and volunteers, is getting some long-needed tile on its floor. The tile was given by several businesses in the metropolitan area. "At the completion of the work, an open house will be held so that the residents and all those who gave material and volunteer help can come and see,'' stated Rozell Gilmore, center director. Gilmore also stated that during the past few months the center has been under attack by various people who seek to build their reputations on _ the ruins of the Neighborhood Service Center. The people accuse the staff of not doing their job and poor administration. l can say without hesitation that they do not know what they are saying. The center has always been and is at present the center of activities in Albina. Any time you have foot traffic merging between l ,SCX> and 2,000 monthly means something. The center is in the process of closing two of its short-term programs. They are the Youth Action Center at 532 N. Skidmore. This program has proven very successful in all phases. The· group work phase has involved over 200 children and adults, Many of the children saw Seaside for the first time in their lives. Then we had a community pride phase tbat went throughout the area cleaning up trash that poor people could not afford to pay anyone to move. Then we had the Teen Center, which involved many teens who are too distant from the mother center to participate in our on-going programs. This looks like accomplishment to me. I don't know how it can be misread by OU r Critics. The other program that is in its closing stage is that of the Model Cities ~urvey. Three months ago, the center worked out an agreement with Model Cities to do a survey of 700 households in the Model Cities area. With this contract, the center put to work some 50 people .

He is the first black man to hold a job of influence in the program. The apprenticeship officers have been accused of racial discrimination toward black people, The history of black people getting into training posltlons through the program have been tragic, At present there is interest in changing this picture, and that is where Charles Ganter comes in. Ganter is a native of Portland. He is married, 29 years old and the father of two boys, Mark who is four and Bryan who is three years old. Mr. Ganter was an Insurance salesman for Allstate Insurance Company before assuming his present position. He stated that he was the first black salesman with Allstate in the Northwest. Mr, Ganter's duties as field representative for the apprenticeship program will be to find young men who are already qualified and explain the program and seek to get them into the kind of skill training they want. Also he will work with those who cannot pass the testing procedure and get them ready for the test. Mr. Ganter stated that a pre-apprenticeship program is being established to help those young men who do not meet the basic requirements. He also stated that he feels he can be of greater service to black people in his present position than he could as an insurance agent. He said the largest number of black apprentice trainees are in the carpentry trade, Mr. Ganter graduated from Roosevelt High School. He spent three years at 0, T. I. He played semi-pro football with the Portland Thunderbirds, holding the position of quarterback. He also had a contract to fill the position of quarterback with the Calgary Stampeders, a Canadian pro football team. However, he stated that the contract was canceled when it was learned he was a black man. New Store Features Black Fashions There is a new store in the Albina Area. BLACKFASHION is the name.

No. 32 Thursday, August ~~~ Multi-pu,po,e Cent,, Fo, Whom 1 In recent weeks there has been conversation going on in many circles about a Multipurpose Service Center. The Model Cities area has been discussed as a possible site for the center. The idea behind the center is to have a variety of agencies operating from it, It would be an extension of the present Neighborhood Service Center. However, the services would be greatly expanded. The services would include health, employment, social and rehabilitation, to name a few. The idea at face value appears good. However, some questions at this point should be asked. First, why is there such a huh, huh about the center? Second, why have none of the grass roots people in the area not been contacted and given the opportunity to express their ideas? Thirdly, is this another superimposed agency that will find itself in the area to take care of the disadvantaged? Fourthly, is this an attempt to replace the Albina Neighborhood Service Center? True, many people in the poverty area have identified with the Center and there is good reason why it should remain at all cost. Fifth, who is the power behind the throne in getting the Center established? All the questions should be answered, and the answers should be seen coming. Model Cities Agency, the city or state officials, should step forward and speak! The people in the Model Cities area should have a right to know, and the black people in particular. After all, they are the primary reason for havthe the poverty, Model Cities and other innovative programs. . . Sell-appointed Speake,, Hinde, There are those who continue to be the mouthpiece of the black community, even though they do not in reality speak for anyone but themselves. Recently the newspapers and TV news media have been presenting to the black community these so-called leaders. The question that comes to mind, however. is this: How do these news media determine if these people are really speaking for anyone? The Oregon Advance/TIMES is dedicated to serve as a platform for community expression. The black community is too large for any one or two spokesmen. Also, it is too complex. How can a doctor of medicine speak for the housewife or vice versa? How can the youth speak for the middle-aged or the lawbreaker for those who adher to the law? How can a church member speak for a church member? The society in which we live is very complex and no one has a monopoly on all learning. There should and must be a platform on which all people in the black community can voice their opinions. This is necessary for three reasons: First, it gives the black people a chance to participate in the direction of their community. Second, it builds confidence in the community - the confidence that can only come by participation. Third, it reveals to the greater community the true feelings and beliefs of the black people. This is the reason why often the Oregon Advance/TIMES i::eaders will see the news wanted notice in this paper. If you have opinions and want to express them, you can. Write a letter to the editor.

At. the present time Mr. Clay Myers is the incumbent for Secretary of State, This is an office sought by our District Attorney George Van Hoomissen. Mr. Myers defeated two-time speaker of the State House, Monty Montgomery, in the primaries and is a favorite of Governor McCall who appointed him to the position when he was elected Governor, There has been a lot of controversy over the needs in our penal and other State institutions over which the Secretary of State has jurisdiction and it has not all been complimentary to this incumbent. Last spring, prison riots brought considerable Letter To Editor Sam Johnson is the supervisor of the Highland Community Center. He works under the Church Community Action Program. When Sam first started working for the program he was situated at the C-CAP opportunity school, and that's where 1 met him. I have known Sam Johnson for two and a half years or more, When l first met Sam at C-CAP, I thought he was just another person, but he surprised me because Samuel Johnson is one of those people who likes to help others even if they're good or not. Samuel Johnson made me see the light clearly because when I first met him I wasn't so good myself. After I was at C-CAP school for about a year I learned that Sam was one of those few people whom you seldom meet. He has helped boys of my type and those who aren't my type. At the time I first started at C-CAP, Frank Fair was the director, but after about a year he received a counselor job at Portland University, and Sam Johnson took his place as director. About a month after Sam was director the community action started sponsoring the Highland Community Center, and Sam moved to the office there. Everyone I know has liked Sam throughout the time I've known him, even though once in awhile there might be a problem,. And everyone l know thinks Sam is a good leader and without his help, like Frank Fair's, their programs wouldn't have lasted. He has a tendency to help his fellow man and to organize something constructive for any individual person, There was a time when l didn't want to listen to Sam, just like a lot of other people, but I really knew the things he told me were right even though I acted otherwise. During the time I've known him he was always considerate and had concern for his fellow man. Here at the Highland Center Sam is still always busy and trying to construct something that a person can benefit by. I can think of a lot of things he has done for me and other people just like me. Even though we had some disagreements sometimes, he and I knew he was right. Name withheld upon request criticism of his office and the Board of Control in which he is a member along with the Governor and the State Treasurer, Mr, Myers is in a rather tough situation, having never run for the office himself, and owing to a political appointment by his former boss; also plus the fact that the man whom he defeated in the primaries stepped out of the gubernatorial race in favor of his now boss and was no doubt thinking of getting the Secretary appointment. But this sdll does not mean too much to the Republicans as some of them think he has done a commendable job, but there cannot help but be a bit of animosity on the part of the Montgomery followers; for here was a man well known over the State and only the second to be elected Speaker of the House for two consecu~ve terms, (The first was Bob Duncan who opposed Wayne Morse for senator in the primaries) and one may think would have been a better candidate against the Democratic nominee, As everyone knows the Secretary of State is considered as a stepping stone to the Governorship and should Mr. Myers make it this fall you may rest assured he will be shooting for the top spot soon, As for the Democratic nominee George Van Hoomissen who has been elected twice as District Attorney in Multnomah County and also has served as a State Representative from this county and at present was re-elected as Vice President of the District Attorney's Association in San Francisco, Mr, Van Hoomissen is a young, ambitious and dedicated man, One who, if elected, could be counted on to do a good job, He has always been loyal to his party and has stood for justice for all. His experience in the field of law and legislation makes him a qualified candidate and gives us the new blood that has been needed on the board of control, The board of control is the deciding board in actions taken in Salem concerning our State institutions, criminal and educational. For many years, yes for too many years, the Republicans have had control of the board of control, Robert Straub is the only Democrat on it now and prior to that it was lean years, Raids have been made on different fund reserves that were unnecessary, and the board, consisting of two Director Named Appointment of Dr. Vernon J. Damm, associate professor of psychology at Oregon State University, as Project Director for the University of Portland School of Nursing curriculum d eve1op men t study has been announced by Vernia Jane Huffman, Dean of the School of Nursing, Dr. Damm will direct a five-year study to develop a nursing program to be taught as an upper division major based on two years of arts and sciences, $69,000 of a total $215,000 grant from the U. S, Public Health Service has been allocated for the first year and will provide for purchase of television equipment and other teaching media, Republicans and one Democrat (who just as well have STAYED home), has been responsible for these goings on. Mr. Straub has come up with many good suggestions but to no avail as he is outnumbered two to one, Our District Attorney has also been one of the backers of doing away with the job he now seeks, but for a good reason - better State Government. He would favor the election of a Lieutenant Governor, This way we would do away with the Secretary of State. Then a State auditor would be appointed to check all State financial business, While I do not think too strongly of a change of this type, I do believe we could do well with some new blood in the State House, and get away from the old routine we've been following so long, Maybe we could find the answer to many of our financial problems in welfare, education, penal institutions, highways and others. I believe of the two candidates, Mr. Van Hoomissen is the better qualified for the job, Another reason is we have never had the chance to see how a Democratic Secretary of State would work, We've had Governors, yes, but Secretary of State, no, and we could do no worse than we have been. Contest Entries Arrive At TIMES (Continued from Page 1) started their own clubs and groups. Many have jobs teaching smaller children of their own race the advantages and disadvantages there are in life, One group of people that I am very proud of are the black athletes. You will find that the black man or woman puts a lot of effort into their sports' activities. When they do this they are trying to bring it across to the white man that the black man is not really carefree and lazy. Also I am proud of my people because they take so much interest in the Bible and God's different ways of explaining himself. You will find now, and in the years to come, that the black race is a very religious race and that a lot of their beliefs cannot be changed by any one person or group of people of another race. Also the voice with which we sing brings out a person's true feelings or the true meaning of the song he is singing. Also you will find that the black people are good in harvesting crops because this is the work their ancestors did many years ago. A lot of the things which the blackman has done or is doing were originally inherited from their ancestors. Barbara Warren age 14 3815 N,E, Rodney ................ In this age of social inequality when the masses must slave and toil that a few may have wine and oil, it is impossible to set any rule of marriage selection that will be practical for all to follow. No formula of mating can ever be given as an insurance policy of positive and unalloyed happiness, unless men and women become angels, and earth the Kingdom of Heaven. Interracial marriages do not bring better health or happiness, so I believe it is wise to select a partner one who is of the same race, Lillian Doane 4014 N, Haight Portland, Oregon 97227

The attractive sailing craft will be on public display after a two-day voyage up the Columbia River to Portland in late September. According to officials of Meter & Frank, who arranged for the ship, it will be displayed at a Junior Chamber of Commerce "Tivoli Gardens" fun. food and entertainment center at Portland Towers between September 23 and 28 and at OMS! until October 5. Plans call for a volunteer crew of 12 persons, dressed in authentic Viking costume, to sail the boat from Astoria to Portland. leaving the downriver port on the morning of Saturday, September 21. An overnight stop wiU be made at Longview that day. On Sunday, the boat will travel to Vancouver, where it will remain overnight. It will arrive in Portland about 10:30 Monday morning, September 23. The costumed crew will be greeted at the seawall by Mayor Terry D. Schrunk, Scandinavian dignitaries in town for the festivities, and by Portland's Scandinavian consuls, The boat will be captained by Goran Kvarnstrom, Swedish Trade Commissioner, Vancouver, B. c .. who assisted in obtaining loan of the craft. Pilot will be Capt. Dennis Brown, President of the Columbia River Pilots Assn. Other crew members will be drawn from the World Affairs Council, co-sponsors with the City of Portland and the State of Oregon of the Salute to Scandinavia, and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Although the craft carries a sail and oars, motive power will be an auxiliary engine, the only non-authentic touch. The boat was built in Sweden in 1912 by Oskar Plym, famed Swedish boat builder, and was first exhibited that year in connection with the Olympic Games at Stockholm. It has been on display in the United States several times, most recently about two years ago when it sailed from Chicago to St. Louis during a Scandinavian festival in the midwest. The unnamed boat is an exact half-scale replica of the famed Norwegian Viking "Gokstad" ship, which is 75 feet long. Her builder took ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: off all measurements and faithfully followed design details of the original, including intricate carvings along the gunwale, the figurehead, mast and steering mechanism. The little craft is 37-l/2feetlong, with a nine-foot beam. The crew will wear authentic Viking costumes. complete with horned headdress, swords, shields. spears and drinking horns. Appropriate ceremonies are planned at Astoria, Longview and Vancouver, with toasts in mead, the original Viking drink. which will be carried in casks on board.

ANSWER: The Department of Employment law says that in order to be qualified for unempl oy men t insurance benefits you must be able to work, available for suitable work and actively seeking work. Suitable work in this reference, generally means work in his regular occupation or related occupations for which the skills of the worker are required. The law states that the Comissioner of the Department of Employment shall consider, among other factors, the degree of risk involved to the claimant's health, safety and morals, his physical fimess and prior training, his experience and prior earnings, his length of unemployment and prospects for securing local work in his customary occupation and the distance of the available work from his residence. However, the law says that no work is deemed suitable and benefits shall not be denied to any otherwise eligible individual for refusing to accept new work under any of the following conditions: (a) if the position offered is vacant due directly to a strike, lockout or other labor dispute; (b} If the remuneration, hours or other conditions of the work offered are substantially less favorable to "Money in the Banlc" feeling With a U.

It was a IJ\achine to make a complete shoe. Fortunes had been spent. Crude shoe-making equipment had been developed. But the final problem was in shaping the upper leather over the last and attaching this leather to the bottom of the shoe. Matzeliger heard of the problem. It offered a challenge. In secret he started experimenting. For ten years he worked steadily. Then in 1882 he perfected the machine. On March 20, 1883, Patent No. 274,207 was granted. And so Lynn, Massachusetts, became the shoe capital of the world. Thanks to Jan Ernst Matzeliger.

Cool Cool Water Huhl by EMILE SUMMERS Since the days of the old west, when the cattlemen used to fight over water rights and charge exhorbitant prices to those in need of water, it has been generally assumed that water, the staff of life, was one of our gifts from God, to quench the thirst of the traveler, the weary and the sick. But this evening 1 was informed by a lady who if necessary will come forward and testify, that while shopping in the Lloyd Center at a well-known chain store, one with stores throughout the United States, she felt ill and had to take medication. This lady went to the fountain where soft drinks are served and asked the clerk for a glass of water. She received the water alright, but there was something else - the charge of five cents for the drink. All this while spending your hardearned money in the place. The shopping spree in this particular store cost this lady exactly 16 dollars and five cents. You know what the five cents was for. Personally, when and if I ever do go shopping in this store, l shall take my Boy Scout canteen along with me, and I may be able to bootleg a little of this precious liquid. If they charge five cents here, I wonder what the price is in New York and Chicago? Boy, just to be in Chicago now at the convention.

This policy conforms to an anticipated attorney general's opinion, foreign trade in Oregon by eliminating state-imposed "non-tarriff" barriers to international commerce. "This decision is aimed at encouraging international trade in Oregon. We will watch the results with every consideration to the effect on the state's economy," McCall said, The Carey Hill family, residents of Altadena, California, have been visiting in the Portland area, where Hill was formerly field supervisor for IBM. He recently received a promotion in executive management for the firm in Los Angeles. While visiting, he spent the vacation working on the construction of the Berean Baptist Church, which he helped get underway. "The new policy," McCall said, ''will eliminate any discrimination which may have existed in the past in state specifications toward products manufactured outside of the United States." The Governor said the order will result not only in a financial savings for the state, i>ut should stimulate McCall made his announcement following a meeting with state agency administrators for the Highway Department, Department of General Services, Department of Commerce, Division of Economic Development and Port of Portland. Poor Have A Beef SELLS FOR by EMILE SUMMERS For some time now, there has been talk of the Poor People's Alliance and so last evening I had the opportunity to talk to some of the people involved. Actually, I think it is a good plan if it can get off the ground and that will be up to the people it will involve: the poor people, both black and white. Too long have the affluent pitted the two against each other, knowing full well that if once they decided to gather together as one they could make themselves heard, and that would be the beginning of the end for those who feel, "We need someone to ten us what to do," instead of letting us do for ourselves. The Welfare aml Food Stamp are the proposals that I really go for. It has long been ·my feeling that when the Welfare recipients are required to spend theirmoney for Food Stamps, with nothing left over for the necessities like soap, cleansers, etc., etc. It is the reaction of the powers that be that all people on Welfare ore there beWorry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow; it only saps today of its strength.
