Taggart The Uhuru Brothers held t h e i r meeting in the visiting room of the OregonStatePen itentiary, March 17, 1972 at 7:00 p jn . They discussed var ious incidents that occurred in the prison and on the prison yards, specifically a racial fight that broke out between a Brother and a White inmate. They further discussed th e ir future plans fo r the_ various workshop programs as well as th e ir consideration fo r gov ernment funds fo r a work pro je c t. One other topic that held the interest of both the Brothers and the visito rs alikewasthe prison tours. The Brothers stated that tourists, mainly Black tourists, should be al lowed to view the prison condi tions as they really are and should n o t be mislead by the Ice Cream and Cake deal. The L'huru Brothers stated that they w ill begin to work in the workshops for the benefit of u tilizin g the knowledge and skills it offers and although this move has upset.some peo ple, they want all of the Broth ers to participate. It was stated by one L'huru Brother that two Government Agents came to th e prison to talk with him and representa tives of other m inority groups to offer them funds to r a work project. Referring to Uhuru Brothers specifically, this project is to allow them to par ticipate in a w o r k project whereby they ca n help Black people in the community. It is keenly wondered by all L'huru Brothers and Black vi sitors - why the sudden con cern fo r Black people? Itwas stated by one Brother that w henever election time comes around opportunities like this a r e made available and after the election, they cease to exist. It was also stated by one Brother that an official at the prison said that they are try ing to get as many Blacks involved in th is work project as pos sible. It is my opinion that this is to disarray their minds from the Black point of ex istence, as one Brother stated, a Modified Method of Control. One Brother stated that if the Government is really in terested in helping Blacks, let some of them out on parole. Itw a s stated by an official of the prison that the money to be funded is n o t government money and that the party do nating this money wishes to remain anonymous. This pro poses a question. If the party donating these funds wishes to remain anonymous, why is it necessary fo r the Brothers to w rite up a proposal? Why can’ t this donor just contribute this money towards a work pro ject? Some of the Brothers stated that they feel this is just another one of the White Man's tric k s . Yours tru ly wasdeclared an official member of l'huru alter being sworn in under oath. M r. Clarence B e rry was no minated andelected Coordina tor fo r Uhuru. M r. B e rry, who has been very active and also the xey source to outside in terest and input w ill definitely enhance the future existence of the L'huru Organization. The L'huru 1972anniversary was held March 31, 1972 in the main visiting room of the Ore gon State Penitentiary from 6:30 to 9:30 pun. Right on Uhuru.

Steve 1 illman, d ire c to r ol Highland Comniun .tv Center, has his hands full of projects and s till lie has ideas for more. Every week day morning ovei 50 school children come to Highland fo r breakfast, t he breakfast program runs dur ing the school year under the direction ot Kent Ford. Soon after the students are off to school, adults both men anil women - !x»g m sew ing classes. There are 30 pupils anil six volunteer instructors to teach them. Each afternoon, school children - 20 to 40 per day - come to play ping pong, shuf- fleboard, p o o l, checkers, cards and other uidoorgames. On Wednesday nights the Sea Scouts of M iipfbJb meet under the direction of Tony Turner. The King Improvement Com mittee meets in the Center, too. Both groups could use more people. And, of course, there is church every Sunday with Rev. Sain Johnson, pas to r. T h e program has b een funded In the past by Hie Great e r Portland Area Council ol Churches. S in c e January, however. United Good Neigh bors has been the p rim a ry funder along with always wel come donations. Tillm an and his secretary are the only paid staff mem bers. Even so, T illm an has many more projects in mind and leels volunteer assistance won’ t be a problem. During the summer tours ol the Portland area w ill be giv en fo r school age children. A bus run w ill be established to pick up any and all who want to come fo r the day. They w ill see Larch M t. and M t. H o o d among other sights. T illm an intends to have classes before the trip s, such as fly tying and then take a field trip to v a ri ous fishing spots to try out the children's handiwork. Are freezer meats really a bargain? Have you made the mistake of believing an alluring ad about how you can buy meat fo r your fre e ze r in quantity at a fraction of its regular cost? You’ re not alone as you may think. Other consumers have been misled by the same type of u n s c r u p u lo u s advertising. The m ajority of reputable merchants who do not try to tric k the public have also been victim ized by such ad vertising. They not only have had business taken from them, but the false advertising of others may lead readers to doubt honest advertising. HERE IS HOW THE SCHEME WORKS .............. F ir s t, the halt is prepared in the form of an advertise ment to appear in newspapers o r to be broadcast. The ad offers halves and quarters of beef at unbelievably low prices - — sometimes less than half the price charged by retail stores. Don’ t forget when you read these ads that a side of beef may mclune large amounts of fat and bone. THE BAIT . . . Few foods are more unappetizing than sn old skie of beef, of poor quality. The meat is dark and the fat is yellow. This poor appearance makes goori bait fo r a slick salesman, who quickly agrees with the d is appointed customer that the advertise«) beef is no bargain. The salesman may point out that once the meat is trim m ed, and the suet (the hard fat about the kidneys and loins in beef and mutton that yields tallow) and the large bones removed there w ill be a loss of at least half the weight. T he meat left to eat on such a cut would cost more than twice as much per pound as the advertised price fo r the untrimmed half o r quarter. THE SWITCH . . . The sales man next calls the customer’ s attention to some other halves and quarters hanging nearby. These are fresh, red and trim med of excessive fat, but prices at about twice the ad vertised price per pound. This fine looking beef w ill requite only a minimum of further trim m ing, anti when packaged fo r storing in the fie e ze r, w ill cost about the same as meat purchased In the neighborhood store. “ A n d ," the salesman may conclude, "th in k of the convenience!" Tillm an wants to expand the re fe rra l program which now exists In tie building. Hewants to establish a G X JU program in.1 expand the present volun teer tutoring staff.

SALEM OFFICE Too frequently, this balt- and-switch scheme works, the good but expensive meat is purchased and the bait meat is put aside to grow even darker. There are other kinds of cheating. F o r example, the customers who have been switched irom darkandyellow latted cow meat to attractive high quality beet may not even receive the good meat that they have been talked into buying. Not being able to stand guard over the parti cular beef section he agrees to tiiy , the customer has to trust the s e lle r to cut, trim and package the beef. The Consumer Protection Program - Model C ities ad vises: I. Take a ha id look at advertisements which offer meat at bargain prices fa r below those at which meat is available at retail stores. Has the meat been gra ted by the United States Department of A g rie , ture ( . ..A.) .no, if so, at what quality grade. Ask to see the stamps on the meat. If an attempt is made to ■'switch" you from advertised meat to more expensive meat, don’ t buy until you have had a chance to check the price per pound (a fte r the meat would be cut anti trimmed) with comparable meat you could buy elsewhere.
