RRRIWMMMRMMIWWWMMMMAMMMWI As S««n In Seventeen SKIN FIT LINING HULA BALU BOOTS í?* THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK g In Homemaking I, Wendy Meier carefully miters a corner on her cover-up apron. By KEN BATEMAN How old it old? A 5 year old may think grandma n old at 45, Grandma, perhapt hertelf thawing tignt of gray, rarely refer» to her gay mother at 65 o> old, or even getting old. When obituarie» »how name» of friend» aged 65 to 70, one often heors, "G»», he wotn't io old. At age 80, one often hear» "getting up there in year»." Clothe» are made to make one look young «excepting certain »tyle» at time»). Cotmetici create a youthful glow from head to toe. Wrinkle erater» (do they really work?), can be bought. Thete are phy»ical fallaciet about age to tupport another fal lacy, "You are at old at you feel." So again—how old it old? General Douglat MacArthur, at age 75, antwered it thi» way; "Nobody grow» old by merely living a number of year». People grow old only by deterting their idea It Year» may wrinkle the »kin, but to give up interett wnnklet the toul." Come to think of it, hit definition it good advice. (Incidentally, we like advice too from time to time. Whether you agree or duagree with what you read here, write to ut any time you with.) /J womwn'» Boots My column has been shorter than usual the past few weeks . . . because of something known as the "Clackamas County Community Action Agency” — you’ve probably seen the new sign on Main Classified Business Professional Directory PHYSICIAN INSURANCE Bob Griffin Hallmark Greeting Cards Kathleen O'Brien away program!

To answer many questions: people that seems to be: " Ask It is not a Government give- first what your Country can do MRRRMRMRMWIMMNMMMWWWMNmR for you. .,” Oregon is enjoying its great- est period of prosperity . . . but something is amiss. Why are our welfare rolls so lo^, our bankruptcy rates so many, our school dropout lists so high? With all our presently existing agencies , why haven't these problems been takencare of or diminished? There are many good an swers; here are some I have heard: A welfare worker 1 met MT.

REAL ESTATE MU 7-4063 has been suggested by the teen agers themselves that they could do service work around Stand y to earn their i»n funds, such as cleaning up streets, taking care of children Satur day afternoon for shopping mothers, etc. There is the likely possibility at the bowling alley opening for "teenagers only” a night a Seems to me these week are almost all the ingredients needed for a Youth Center in &ndy ... but so far haven't found any place to meet . . . Have heard that others are thinking in terms of a Youth Center, but haven't had time to check out the source. Let’s have some "Community Ac tion” and work together to find the solution to this med. Do you have any suggestions? Would you volunteer to help tn any way? Let’s coordinate what re sources we have and put the plan into action! Another need incur commun ity that can be met locally is assistance with reading, spell ing and other academic skills. I know of several in our com munity that have never learned to read "by sound” and find this a handicap tn obtaining employment. At the present, I am spending two hours an eve ning aiding just such a student . . . and the results make it very worthwhile. With irellvld- ual help when and where they need It, a student can learn more rapidly than in a crowd ed classroom. 'This is another possibility of a Community Ac- this Is Just tlon program one method of breaking the cycle erf poverty, and helping an individual find employment. This is a sketch of what Community Action can do , . . primarily it is to solve prob lems on a local level, either by local resources or refers! to an existing County agency. Sometimes an itilivldual re quest immediately receives at- tention—at other times a col lective voice oi many Is re quired for action. The problem is mainly making sure that the voice Is heard. Your local Community Action Agency can be contacted at MU 7-4152. "Actions speak louder than words” -- see what Is and can be done to help our own community. NEED OFFICE HELP? LOOK IN CLASSIFIED j !

Office located 3 mile* ea»t of Greiham on Loop Hwy. P.O. Box 431 Gresham Through Community Action programs (action on a local level) it might be possible to break the cycle of poverty . .. Local people know their needs, but often don’t know how to get their voice heard where action will result. Oft-times the voice of many joined together is the voice that is finally heard — I speak of a type of community action seen at Colton recently when 1200 residents of our County demanded to be heard and obtain answers to their many questions. Another ex ample is scheduled for Nov. 22 when Estacada and vicinity plan to let their voice be heard collectively at the State High way Department in &lem. I am sure their demand for highway Improvement cannot be Ignored if such demand is backed by hundreds at individually-writ ten letters, and "the entire town” attends at the Capitol in person! . . . Watch for the reaction in Salem — it un doubtedly will bring action. But how does this apply to Sandy? Many here have voiced the opinion that Sarriy needs something for the youth . . . they are driving around the streets with nothing to do . . . the swimming pool will help the situation some . . . but will It be enough? You would be amazed how many people have made the com ment "Sandy needs a Youth Center.” A Parole officer I talked to recently said he felt it would solve many Juvenile problems in the area. Under the Community Action program, I have gathered information for a youth center: I know of 84 local teenagers who mention the same need and will volun teer to help. They feel a youth center would draw in thedrop- out students or older teenagers not now In school, and give them something constructive to do. I know parents who will volunteer as counsellors; oth ers who have volunteered to tu tor slow students; other older teenagers who have taken the wrong road, and think they can now keep someone else from going the way they did. Som< parents have volunteered b teach their own hobby or skill: (If the teenagers want to learn): dancing, square dancing, draw ing, music, woodwork, etc. It DRUG AND DEPARTMENT STORE ORE-IDA R«g INSTANT Nov. 17, 18, 19 THURS., FRI., SAT.
