The Black Enterprise Wee k w ill kick off Sunday,May 23,19 71, at the Sheraton Hotel with a social hour starting at 5:00 p.m., followed at 6:00p.m. by a delightful Soul Food Dinner. The Black Enterprise Week w ill close out Friday,M ay 28, with a Cocktail I )ance at the Town Hall. The Associations members, as their name suggests, are working people in the Albina and outlying areas who find it d iffic u lt to say that the youth have droppe<l out. I hey prefer to say that youth was never in. The realities of life to some A. W.W. & B. members came ear ly— to some, late. Heartache, disenchantment, accomplish ment and success are all en twined into this close knit group, field taut by the i r strength and awareness of I lie and the pitfalls soever present n u v a a x ia passages between the plates. The resultant product is, the oretically, a perfect heat ex changer since it operates on a counterflow basis that could ap proach 100 per cent efficiencies if ca rried to e xtre me s of 1 ength and plate spacing. V I Test work has been completed by a Portland firm on a new a ir to a ir heat exchanger that prom ises to have a significant effect on the heating and a ir condition ing field. According to W .J . D a r m , president of A llied A ir Products C o , performance of the new product has more than equaled expectations and within the next 90 days a marketing program should he completed in all of the western states. Expans Ion to nationwide distribution is ex pected lefore the end of the year. Essentially the Temp-X Changer, as the product is named consists of a series of many closely spaced, corrug ated, aluminum sheets tightly sealed at the edges and inter connected at the ends in such a way that separate a ir streams can be made to flow in opposite directions through adjacent Free Clinics Home Im provem ent-M ondays Home Buying—Tuesdays Home Building-W ednesdays It’s a great year to buy, build or remodel, and the Benj.

Northwest The Portland Observer out grew its office and printing fa c ilitie s at 714 1/2 NE Aiberta and moved to 2726 NE Union a n d presently at 2201 N. Kiilingsworth, Lee Henderson announced. It is o fp a rticu la r significance, Henderson noted that the growth of The Portland Observer has excellerated faster than highest expec - tations. What is p a rticularly satisfying is that both our readers and advertisers have given us the kinds of support to make this new expansion possible, Henderson said, the new quarters although located out of the Model Neighborhood w ill s till reflect the interests of Model C ities residents. The move to the new location came about only after an exhaustive effort to locate in the Model C ities area. We had to have a large building at a price we could pay, Henderson said. The new location w ill allow us to install our own press; the only black press in the region, he explained. An added incentive fo r the move was numerous equip ment donated. With the press and other additional equip ment Henderson plans to maxe T h e Portland Observer a training experience fo r Model C ities residents. There are already seven people employed by the Obser ver with the number expected to reach 25. Right now we have th irty paper boys. We feel we are helping to let dollars turn over in the community. Herderson said, “ I would like to thank AMA, the membership of Albina churches fo r their splendid cooperation.” Henderson said What is of great importance to us is to assure our readers that our new location w ill provide us fa cilitie s to provide a better newspaper. Our editorial and news policy w ill remain the same as ever: To serve the public and perform a public service fo r all regardless of race. We want to abolish some of the ancient myths that some people feel and think about other ethnic-groups. We are living in a melting pot of many different racial background. We must live together.
