The
HATTIE WILLIAMS
Social Service Assistant
finds work rewarding
M rs . H a t t i e W illiam s is a
social service assistant attne
Albina M ulti-Service Center.
Sha has b e e n working fo r the
Center since June, 1969, when
it was the MultnomahP u bl ic
Welfare 24 Hour Phone Ser­
vice.
"W e did e v e r y t h l ng al­
m o st,'’ said M rs. W illiam s.
Since then the Center has
moved into a new building on
N. Vancouver Avenue and now
includes many county, state
and private agencies. M r s .
W illia m s ' job now consists of
Coordinating re fe rra ls f ro m
the Welfare Department with
counselors.
She finds her job rewarding
because she is the fir s t contact
a person ieceives and she
feels she can really help.
M rs. W illiam s doesn't put
the C e n t e r on a pedestal,
though. " | can see w h e re
there's room fo r improve­
ment. We’ve come a longway,
but we aren’ t getting to all the
people."
One issue of her concern is
the number of blacks working
in the Center. "W e understand
the problems. W e understand
w h a t we want. People who
don't live here just don’ t have
it. They have to read what’ s
behind the ghetto w all. Do they
really know?"
She feels that the biggest
choie is solving unemploy­
ment and hunger.
ntil we
have mastered the unpardon­
able sin ci poverty, we aren't
going any place." Many agen­
cies could do m ore, she says,
but some have withdrawn their
services. Consequently there
are many people who aren't
being reached.
"People who have been on
w e lfa ie for two or three gen­
erations don't know how to do
things for themselves. They
nee d motivation to become a
person, todrop all their fe a r,”
M rs . W illiam s said.
In dealing with these prob­
lems, M rs. W illiam s s a id
some counselors knowingly or
inadvertently "m ake the client
a lia b ility rather than motivat­
ing h im ." .she also feels that
counselors need not have de­
grees to be effective, but they
do have to know the problems
and the best answers. The two
don't always go together.
M rs . W illiam s wants action
now and says that in moving to
the new Center people have
lost much of their together­
ness. TheCenter, she says, is
great, the services could be
improved, but the most im por­
tant thing is to bridge the gap
between talk and action. " A f-
tei a ll, " she says, " i f we place
ourselves on a pedestal and
give ou selves a grade of 100.,
where do we go from there?"
'Crib death”
study asked
Senator Bob Packwood (K -
O re.) Thursday asked his
senate colleagues to support
a resolution that would d ire ct
the National Institutes of
Health to designate c rib death
me of its "to p p rio ritie s in
lunding and researchefforts.”
" In the Portland m etro­
politan
area alone, eight
babies have died of c rib death
since Christmas and a dozen
have died across the state,”
Packwood said in a speech
on the Senate F lo o r. "A nd
97 babies died in 1969 in Ore­
gon,” he said.
" I t is both intolerable and
appalling to me that a disease
which takes the lives of at
least 10,000 babies a year
remains a m ystery to the
medical profession.
A fte r
the fir s t week of life , c rib
death ranks by far as the
greatest k ille r of children
under the age of 15," he said.
The
resolution on c rib
'leath, or Sudden Infant Death
Syndrome (SIDS), intioduced
by Senator W alter F . Mondale
(D-MInn.) and cosponsored by
Packwood and 13 other Sena­
tors, also directs the Depart­
ment of Health Education and
Welfare to educate coroners,
medical examiners, nurses
and social workei s as well
as parents, future parents and
fam ilies whose children die
fam ilies affected by it.
The
resolution
further
directs HEW to see that autop­
sies of c h i ld r e n dying of
the disease are prom ptly re­
leased to the parents and to
add Sudden Infant Death Syn­
drome to the International
Classification
of Disease.
(According to the classifica­
tion system now used, these
deaths may have been cate­
gorized as mechanical suffo­
cation, pneumonia or acciden­
tal deaths.)
"T h e needless g u ilt and
suffei ing thousands of fam i­
lies go through each yeai
because of lack of knowledge
of this tragic disease must
be stopped,” Packwood said.
E a rlie r, Packwood, who is
a member of the Senate Sub­
committee on Children and
Youth, called upon committee
members to "u tiliz e all avail­
able resources toward pre­
vention and understanding of
this heartbreaking and un­
known disease," In a speech
before the subcommittee on
J a n u a r y 25. In th e )9o7
session of the Oregon Legis­
lature, Packwood sponsored
a b ill to give $25,000 for
research on SIDS to the Uni­
versity of Oregon Medical
School. This was the firs t
tim e funds had ever been ear­
marked for SIDS in Oregon's
history.
