KINSEY REPORT - SALEM----
Representative Lloyd C.K1NSEY,
Republican
from
Multnomah
County, yesterday voted to extend
the benefit period of unemploy
ment compensation fo r unem
ployed Oregonians fo r an addi
tional 13 weeks. This b ill, which
is the fir s t m ajor piece of legis
lation to pass the Oregon House
of Representatives In this sess
ion, extends die compensation for
unemployed workers who have
exhausted th e ir 26 weeks of un
employment e lig ib ility .
In supporting the House action.
Representative Kinsey stated that
he did so fo r three m ajor reasons,
the fir s t being "th e need fo r Im
mediate action to provide some
additional compensation fo r the
5,500 Oregonians who have ex
hausted
their
unemployment
compensation to date, and tfie ad
ditional 2,500 Oregonians who
w ill exhaust their benefits each
month over the next several
m onths."
Ihe second reason cited for
the b ill was that "th e U.S. Con
gress in 1970 amended the Fed
eral Unemployment Compensa
tion Law so that each state must
have an extended benefit program
in effect by January 1, 1972, or
the Federal Government would
ca rry out the Unemployment Law
in that state through the U.S. Iie -
partment of Labor. If this were
to happen, all employers would
pay a flat 3.2% federal tax and
there would be no m e rit rating
fo r business."
The last, but perhaps most im
portant, reason tor supporting the
extended benefit b ill is that it sets
up ** system of payment fo r the
employer which spreads the tax
over a three-year period. This
allows the immediate problem of
additional compensation fo r the
unemployed Oregonian to be sol
ved now, without putting the en
tire b ill on the empolyer during
a period of economic downturn.
ing harmony between races. If
enough parents take advantage
of the opportunity to read the
paper, many of their questions
might be answered, and hopeful
ly some more raised.
"So many parents have hecome
apathetic," commented M r s .
Shepard concerning what might
just turn off parents In the firs t
place. So many parents would
benefit if they attended meetings
and got Involved, but don’ t even

pressing situation has developed.
The parents now are v ita lly
needed but they can’ t be blamed
fo r all the problems that th e ir
children have to face.
The
circumstance M rs . Shepard is
here to prevent.
As a final comment, M rs.
Shepard wished to express her
opinion of the so-termed assaults
experienced In the school. On
this subject she remarked tha she
believes that a ll incidents are not
racial. Immediately when a black
person and a white person have a
conflict, it is labeled as a la c ll-
ly Incited assault.
M rs. Shepard great concern
now Is try and get more Black
parent involved. "E v e ry parent
should care enough about their
child to get involved In school
activities
"P arental involve
ment is an investment in the bank
of Tom m orow ," M rs. Shepard
said.

Shepard describes role
M rs. Shepard’ s time is often
spent in the halls acquainting her
self with the students. She feels
that since she cannot hand out •
grades or punishment«, she is
less re strictive than an adminis
tra to r. Sometimes, a youth just
needs some diversion to prevent
situations that could lead to sus
pension or expulsion.
A fter school she Is s till on the
Job, M rs . Shepard says, "n .y job
of helping youth at Grant High
School and throughout the city
never ceases because there is so
much to be done." If I can make
it here at Grant with the students
our whole community and city
tails and maybe the Nation, M rs.
Shepard said. Her Job p rim a rly
is to work with studentsand par
tic u la rly Involve their parents in
school and socially related pro
blems.
When asked how she plans to
get parents Involved, M rs. Shep
ard said that tier main weapon
just might be anger; the media
being
the newspaper.
