Page 6 The Oregon Advance/TIMES August29, 1968 LIVES£ YJ LEGENDS '-...._./ by Angelo /,ampus Do you know who made Lynn, Massachusetts, the world's shoe manufacturing capital 7 It was Jan Ernst Matzeliger. · Before Matzeliger, hun– dreds of inventors had labored to devise a special machine. It was a IJ\achine to make a complete shoe. Fortunes had been spent. Crude shoe-making equip– ment 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 chal– lenge. 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, Mas- sachusetts, became the shoe capital of the world. Thanks to Jan Ernst Mat– zeliger.

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 foun– tain 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 hard– earned 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 boot– leg 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.

WILLIAMS'AVENUE Monday thru Thursday 6 a.m. to 12 midnight OPEN ALL DAY SUNDAY Stores In Town Since 1908 OPEN 24 HOURS FRIDAY & SATURDAY The Hills Visit Portland Open, Bid Policy Announced By ~ Governor McCall Governor Tom McCall an– nounced today that purchases made by the State of Oregon will be conducted on an open bid basis without regard to location of manufacturer. This policy conforms to an anticipated attorney general's opinion, foreign trade in Oregon by eliminating state-imposed "non-tarriff" barriers to in– ternational 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 dis– crimination which may have existed in the past in state specifications toward prod– ucts 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 announce– ment following a meeting with state agency administrators for the Highway Department, Department of General Serv– ices, Department of Com– merce, 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 to– gether 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 peo– ple on Welfare ore there be- Worry never robs tomor– row of its sorrow; it only saps today of its strength. The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle. Effort means nothing with- cause they want to be, yet every attempt they make to better themselves is dis– couraged by some outlandish ruling, either of the govern– ment or the state regulations. LESS! PROTECTS WITH SERVICE In the majority of these cases, it is some bureaucrat in Washington who has been eating ''high on the hog" for so long that he has forgotten what it is to have been made to do without.
