THE PORTLAND COMMUNITY
SERVICE—ITS PURPOSE AND
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
(Continued from page 14)
gests plays for community produc
tions and gives advice and help to
amateur producers in casting, stag
ing, etc. Community Service is
vitally interested in the problem of
Americanization; it believes that
the best way to make good citizens
is to provide opportunities for the
foreign born to participate in the
American neighborhood life. Con
sequently it fosters activities
which give the foreign bom the
chance to mingle with each other
and with the native born and to
take a real part in the community
life. Community Service is a
member of the Americanization
Council and carries out its citizen
ship work in cooperation with that
organization. Portland Community
Association also assists the colored
people of Portland to solve their
recreation problems. It sponsors
two clubs for colored young people
and assists colored groups in plan
ning programs. The local office
is quite completely equipped to act
as a service bureau for the various
community organizations in the
city. It has complete mimeograph
equipment and issues bulletins
suggesting community activities.
It has quite an extensive library
of bulletins, phamplets and books
on all phases of community life.
It owns a complete portable motion
picture outfit which is loaned with
out charge to organizations desir
ing to use it. In cooperation with
the National Motion Picture
League, it maintains a complete
file of reports on better pictures.
Through the medium of this file
the office is able to advise whether
the picture is suitable for children
or community programs and also
to suggest films for various pro
grams. Community Service is now
organizing a federation of com
munity clubs of Multnomah county
which will enable them to work to
gether effectively and to receive
more efficient service from the
local office. While the greater por
tion of community service work
is done in Portland, assistance is
also given to nearly three dozen
nearby communities as far as the
time of the local staff permits. The
officers of Portland Community
Service are as follows:—William F.
Woodward, president; Sanford
Lowengart, treasurer. Members
of the Board:—Dow V. Walker,
Chas. F. Berg, W. H. Warren, J. P.
Jaeger, Anne Mulheron, Mrs. Geo.
L. Williams, Mrs. Geo. W. McMath,
Judge Jacob Kanzler, B. F. Boyn
ton. A paid staff consists of but
two persons: John C. Henderson,
executive secretary and Mrs. E. L.
Brown, associate seretary. An of
fice is maintained at 513 Oregon
Building, telephone Broadway
7972. The efficiency of the local
organization can best be judged
from the fact that in 1922 it served
339,121 people at a cost of $8,800
or only 2.6 cents per person. The
reason why such tremendous re
sults can be obtained at such small
cost is because the service makes
such extensive use of facilities
which are otherwise unused, such
as school gymnasiums and the like
and because practially all of its
recreational leadership is furnish
ed by volunteers who receive no
pay for their services. Commu
nity Service is then an energizing

to solve the problem by helping,
communities to help themselves.
