By W ILLIAM DEIZ
As the wind howled and the
snow swirled around the Mul-
tonmah County Courthouse last
week, Commissioner Don Clark
was announcing he would hold a
special hearing to look Into
problems of hunger In the coun
ty.
The outcome of that hearing
was no surprise to anyone.
Hunger exists In Multnomah
County, especially In the Albina
area where roughly 17 per cent
of the work
force
Is out of
work.
What came as a surprise was
the revelation by some agency
representatives that they don't
