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

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.

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

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."

velopment efforts be directed
in two major areas - promo
tion of export sales of Oregon
products and assisting in the
expansion and development of
Oregon business and industry.
He urged solicitation of new
industry, but also asked that it
be done selectively and be di
rected at high-growth, envi
ronmentally compatible types
of enterprises.
LeRoy B. Staver, chairman
of the boa rd of the U.S. Nation
al Bank of Oregon, was named
chairman of the new council.
We ask your help in a most
uigent need - that of giving a
home to a child.
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.

Neil Goldschmidt filed his
contributions and expendi
tures with theCity Auditor and
Secretary of State with a state
ment that he is "proud to IX
port that 1,100 persons hav.
made contributions," to his
mayoral campaign. "W e Re
lieve this to be the largest
number of contntators tn the
history of city elections In
Portland," he said.

number of contributors " Is
only one indication that we a re
running a people - oriented
campaign. Our door-to-door
canvass of 580 of Portland’ s
629 precincts is another ex
ample. I could not win this
campaign if a large numberof
people were not giving their
time and money. I cannot buy
the election."
