Haley Is black. He is also a practicing la w y er in Seattle, who served on a conference panel that explored inequities of m in o ritie s in respect to law and o rd er and methods to re solve ra c ia l problem s.

The panelists and others g enerally agreed that getting m in o ritie s represented In law enforcem ent and the judicial process are top p rio ritie s in bringing out equal treatm ent under the law, but they also recognized that recruiting and trainin g in these professions are problem s. C h ief Goodwin noted that his departm ent has 35 officers and six c le ric a l employees, all w hite. How ever, he said no black e v e r applied fo r a police job despite departm ent re c ru itm e n t fo r m in o ritie s . E llis H .

He said judges must be in tune with the community and should stress treatm ent pro g ram s fo r convicted persons. Blacks on the panel noted that a recent Presid ential com mission found cases of po lice b ru ta lity , and that they should note that some police have brought c ritic is m on themselves by b ru tality, and that they should not by In uni fo rm .

Goodwin slad the police should not be singled out In so cial problem s. He noted that police only enforce the laws that are w ritten by law yers and interpreted by law yer-judges In the courts. Haley said there are an es tim ated 30,000 Judges In the nation, but only 250 are black (no black federal Judges) most of whom are in municipal co u rts.

Work-saving electricity a plug for women’s liberation These days, slaving in a kitchen is about as old-fashioned and inefficient as burning a kerosene lamp. Thanks to modern electric living, we ve come a long way. Now, simply by turning a dial, pushing a button, or flipping a switch, you can save work, save time, and enjoy freedom to do more important things. Electricity makes it easy. And there are so many modern electric conveniences to help make your life richer. For example, electric freezers that store foods and keep them fresh for long periods of time New self-cleaning ovens which, incidentally, are great for liberating husbands who help working wives with the kitchen chores Trash-mashers that keep both your kitchen and the outdoor environment cleaner, and nicer looking. And many, many more There are plenty of new conveniences coming, too. To keep ahead of your ever-growing electrical demands, PGE is building new generating plants which are essential for reliable electric service. Energy from the atom, which is clean to make and clean to use, will provide adequate supplies of electricity while preserving Oregon s matchless environment.
