Uhuru Brothers meet
Shirley A. 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

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. Tillm an
has a ls o been deputized as a
Multnomah
County Deputy
K egistiar ami is qualtliedto
register people to vote.
A classic understatement of
Highland's projects w a s " L it-
tle things come up that can’ t he
categorized.** F o r instance.
Highland is selling tickets to
this evening's ( I hursday, Ap
ril 20) performance of the play
titled "T he Ruling C la ss." It
u being presented at the New
theater, S.E. Qth ami Pine
Streets. F o r more informa
tion ca ll Beth P hillips at 24b-

Another ’ fo r instance’ Is the
adult education program r i l l -

e r Is a project to d eliver the
Portland
observer to all
homes In tue area acquainting
the people with both the Ob
server ami Highland Commu
nity Center.
Steve Tillm an has created*
w id e
variety of services
through Highland Community
Center, amt lie wants them to
be used even more than they
are now, 1'he success of his
work is, he s a il, "fu lfillm e n t
ami satlstactlon fo r those we
serve in the area."

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.
It you decide to buy meat
on credit, find out to whom
your promissory note m u stie
paid, whetbe. interest and
carrying chargesw ill be idde I
to your payments ami how
much they w ill be. Above
a ll, remember that you pro
bably cannot use misconduct
by tie seller as a defense if
a collection suit is brought
against you by a finance com-
peny or other " th ird p in y "
to whom the seller later
ransfers tie note.
