"U p to now, people in the ed
ucational structure have believed
that student m inorities are a
different manner because
of
different racial and cultural
viewpoints,” Harold W illiam s,
A native of L ittle Rock, A r k . ,

H a rris at Room 46b oftheState
Office Building, 1400 SW F ifth
Avenue, P o rtlin d .
H a rris has worked in the ad
vertising department of
th e
Albina Advance-Times and did
advertising work in Texas.
In the spring of the year the C ity
of Portland along with other cities
and towns across the United
States is plagued by this type of
door-to-door salesmen. I would
hope that each of our citizens
would be super cautious of door-
to-door salesmen. Manyofthese
gypos attempt to convince our
citizens that they need chimney
repairs, sidewalk repairs, fu r
nace repairs, tree surgery, hu
mus fo r their lawns, fender work
and a variety of other so-called
legitim ate services. These hust
le rs overcharge, use poor quality
m aterials, operate without a l i
cense, do bad work and then leave
town. Oftentimes before the au
th o ritie s are made aware of th e ir
existence.
May I caution the general public
to demand from door-to-door
salesmen copies of th e ir business
licenses, references, or oth
e r documentation that would sat
isfy the householders that he or
she was doing business with a le
gitim ate firm . A citizen can also
check with the C ity of Portland
License Bureau, 228-6141, exten
sion 281 or the B etter Business
Bureau, 226-3981.
It is my hope that this warning
early in the year mav save some
of our citizens, especially the
elderly, from being fleeced.

Commerce members on Monday,
March 22, at the regular week

organization.
Describing how the Educational
Center was started in a form er
furniture store, W illiam s said
that Portland State has ventured
into a new era in education by
recognizing that young blacks
have minds capable of running
adm inistrative departments, as
well as being able to run track
and play football.
