l ’ a«« 8 Poru and /O b m rv a r Thursday, Jure I, 1972 Programs for aging expand in Portland Program changes hours The Consumer Protection Program of Model Cities has a change of hours. Monday through Friday 8:00 a jn . to 6:80 p.m.Saturday 8:30 a jn . to 1:00 p jn . We would like to have some ideas on what you would like to read concerning consumer ism. The last few articles have been about tires , interest rates, how to save on meats, etc. If you have any ideas for us, please call 283-2459 during the above mentioned hours, or just drop by the office at575N . Killingsworth. Let’s go to market by Carolyn M . Nelson Included in the better values are Ham, Chuck Steaks ar*i Roasts, Chicken and Turkey. There are still plenty of eggs at more than reasonable prices for deviled eggs, po tato salads . . . so popular this time of year. Fresh Halibut Is a new seafood item. Supplies of Salmon are still lim ited. There are goodly amounts of Sole, Snapper and Cod. Outdoor grown Rhubarb is at its peak. Remember, it takes two pounds to make a pie. Beef and Pork prices are a little higher. Most of the increase in beef is in the hind quarter cuts which means that steaks are carrying higher price tags. Pront quarter cuts such^as Chuck Roasts offer the better values. This is also the time to enjoy tender, Oregon spring Lamb. Local vegetable crops are late this year because of cold weather. So fa r, those that have made their appearance • r e leaf lettuce, green onions, radishes and spinach. As paragus is mostly from Wash ington State. Cabbage and c a rro ts are reasonably priced. Oregon russet potatoes are good for baking. New White Rose Potatoes from C alif ornia are nearing their peak and prices w ill soon be the lowest of the season. They • re not good fo r baking but are great fo r potato salads. Oranges are one of the better fru it buys. The Navel orange season has been a long one and Valencias are also plentiful. This bountiful supply of both varieties means some bargain prices for consumers. Cold weather has delayed the Oregon Strawberry crop. Local berries are not ex pected until the second week of June. California berries are still plentiful and reason ably priced. New items at luxury prices are yellow meated peaches, bmg cnerrles, Honeydew and Crenshaw melons. Cranny Smith apples from New Zealand are Just starting to come in. These are new crop apples as the seasons In New Zealand are the re verse of ours. Alcohol arrests increase in 1972 A rrests by Oregon Sute Po lice of motorists fo r d rlvu ^ under the Influence of liquor (DC IL) increased 36.5 p e r cent in the firs t three months of this year, compared to the sim ilar period of 1971. A report to Governor Tom McCall from Sute Police Supt. Holly V . Holcomb says that 1.050 drivers were cited for the violation in the Jan u a ry -M a rc h period. Total DU IL arrests for the firs t quarter of 1971 were zov. The Increase was attributed by the report partly to height ened emphasis by S u te Pol ice on traffic patrol. Tim e spent on patrol was up 12 per cent during the firs t three months of the year. In addition, the 1971 Legis lature lowered the permis sible blood alcohol content for drivers from .15 to .10 of one per cent. This Is the level con- side red prim a facie evidence at driving under the influence. The report said hazardous driving violations also In— creaaed in the first qua rear by 18.8 per cent. Hazardous driving and d riv ing under the Influence both are strongly associated with highway accidents, Holcomb said. The report to the governor also says that arrests for In u rin g continue at a high level. There were 913 arrests in 1971 for discarding materia! on roadways o r in waterways, throwing away burning mater ial and dumping rubbish at un authorized sites. In the first three months of this year 187 persons were cited for litte r ing. T raffic fatalities have in creased slightly in the firs t quarter, but the raw per 100 million miles traveled maybe less than in ¡971. Figutesare not yet available for the firs t fwt the rate has fallen almost continuously f r o m 1965, when 6.4 deaths were re corded per 100 million miles traveled, to 4.9 m 1971. The City-County Council on Aging is expanding its efforts to reach elderly persons throughout the city with legal, medical, nutritional, home making and counseling ser vice. City Commissioner Neil Goldschmidt announced. The council has hired 12 out reach workers in four neigh borhood-ba seil centers who will be attempting to contact over 1,000 senior citizens in May and June co inform them of services, under the new fed erally-funded project, which is called "A Better Life for the E ld e rly," or Project Able. One important component of the project is the 21 persona who w ill he providing home making services in homes of senior citizens, such as laun dry, cooling and light house keeping. ''The real aid of this project is to prevent our aged citizens from being institu tionalized or placed in nursing homes when, with minor as sistance, they just don't need to be," Commissioner Gold schmidt s a il. Goldschmidt said elderly persons who would like more information should contact on« of the service centers, on the West side of the city at 224- 1963, in East County at 665- 7189 and in Southeast Portland at 233-8491. Persons may al so call the Council on Aging at 226-6007. Goldschmidt, who Is the city’ s liaison with the aging council, said he also intends to ask M ayor Schrunk and C h air man of the County Commis sioners, Michael Gleason, to approve a recommendation of th e Council on Aging for warded from its chairman. D r. Thomas Mendor to expand itself from nine members of 15 so that more representatives of the elderly can be Included on this policy-making board. Under the proposal, six geo graphic areas in Multnomah County would each nominate a candidate to be approved by ttw M ayor and Chairm an. " P a r ticipation in such action-ori ented bodies as the Council on Aging and its programs can be an important step in itself to ward bringing the elderly back Layne (Continued from page I) the patients in the sample had some kind of insurance cov- erage) ar>d it’ s apparent that the public has redefined the purpose of the Emergency Service.’ ’ Layne said the trend toward greater use of emergency facilities for non-emergency problems holds true na tionally — particularly as many people move about the country, and illness or acci dent occurs before there Is time to establish ties with a regular fam ily physician. He pointed out thatEmanuel, with completion of its new huildlng, hopes to expand its outpatient services into larger g a r t e r s , where office hours w ill be longer. Non-em er gency patients w ill then be taken care of in this area, reserving the emergency room fo r c ritic a lly ill Or in jured patients. Coalition selects educator National U r b a n Coalition .President M . C a rl Holman an nounced the appointment of Laplois Ashford to the newly- created position of V i c e - President for Education. For the past two years^M r. Ashford has been the Execu tive D irector of the Chicago Urban League, and previously served in the s a m e capacity with the Urban League at Rochester, N .Y . In his new p ost,M r. Ashford w ill be responsible for devel oping the local end national ed ucation thrust of the National Urban Coalition's campaign to revitalize the central cities and to reverse the abandon- ment of the cities and their In habitants. M r. Ashford will alsodirect on-going education programs of the National UrbanCoalltlon which in the past have focused largely on school finance, bi lingual education, and render ing technical assistance on education to some 38 local co alitions around the country. In announcing the appoint ment, M r.H olm an said the Co alition feels fortunate in se curing the services of a man with such a broad background in education and in worku< with toner city problems. In Rochester, M r . Ashford was Commissioner of Schools into the mainstream of llte in this community, from which they seemingly have been sys tematically excluded." Gold schmidt declared. I he Project Able program, fundeii at $69,104 during May and June (and part of A p ril), •Iso Includes four transpor tation specialists who w ill he available to take elderly p er sons to essential services, such as outpatient care and hospitals and clinics. In addition. Project Able has hired legal assistance f o r needy senior citizens from the Multnomah County Legal Aki Society and has provided funds for an extension of the Loaves & Fishes "M eals on Wheels'* program which takes prepared food to sem orcltlzensw hoare unable co go out. Funds have also been provided for a " p ro tective services" program of medical ca iw from the Multno mah County Medical Depart ment. "O u r prim ary goal w it h Project Able is not just to pro vide services, h o w e v e r ," Goldschmidt explained. " I t is also to locate persons who aren’t aware of existing ser vices and inform ation.'' He went on to cite the provision of information about Golden Age groups in the city's park pro grams, cultural efforts in branch lib ra ries open to the aged, assistance with medi cs re and social security forms, consumer protection help and direction on applica tions fo r food stamps and wel fare as services the outreach counselors w ill be able to di rect persons to or perform themselves. “ As a city commissioner and the city's liaison with the Council on Aging," Gold schmidt states, "1 wish to commend the persons who worked with State Government and our local Council on Aging to develop this outstanding program concept. 1 understand that the current level of fund ing may not be continued for the coming year, and I pledge myself to turn every effort to maintain what I feel is a very Important p ro ject."

A child in need of a home has the look of loneliness. It comes in different sizes, shapes and colors. But the look is always the same. The child may be physically or emotionally handicapped, of m ixed-race, one of a fam ily group of brothers and sis ters - and more often than not, a troubled teenager. But he needs someone to love and care about him just like your own children do. Pictures - Munday 5:00 pm Stories • Tuesday noon Advertising - Tuesday 5:00 pm carea.
