A p p ly - P o r t la n d O b s e r v e r 'Peace and Love’’ fashions Jamaica sells "Peace and Love" fashions are the newest thing to come out of Jamaica, an Island roted fo r Its talented de signers. "R a s " Lloyd Young, creator of the wildly original silk screen prints which he aim s into shirts, longdresses and dashlkis, says that be fore he begins making any thing he meditates on the credo of his religious group: "Peace and L o v e". 1 he handsome young de signer is a member of a relatively small but very visible sect in Jamaica called the Rastafarians. Members are Africa-oriented and fo cused on Ethiopia; the symbol found on almost all Rasta art is the Conquering Lion of Juday — or Em peror Haillte Selassie. Almost all of Ras Lloyd’ s fabrics feature this symbol, while his knitted caps ami pom poms are in the Ethiopian colors of red green and yellow. Rasta caps are very popu la r all over Jamaica; they are always band knitted or crocheted and are equally be coming to both men and women, though they are au thentically worn only by brother members. At Ras Lloyd's boutique. "G lg in ra " on Eastwood Road in Kingston, the caps sell for US $5, while his long cotton print dresses average US $25 and the short version is about US $15. He also features belts and other accessories. Rasta artists and crafts men are gaining increasing notice in Jamaica for their talent and originality. Painter Everard Brown, pastor of the F irs t Ethiopian Orthodox Church near Spanish Town, has won national awards for his exquisite hand made musical instruments, a num ber of which are on display at the Jamaica School of M usic. Craftsman Brother E ric makes traditional Rasta drums and wine casks at his Jamaica Drum Shop on Spanish Town Road, a few miles east of Kingston. A Rasta com mune on Love Lane inCentral Kingston turns out colorful rope handbags and hammocks.

It has to do with revenue sharing. Mike McCormack wasn’teven there for the revenue sharing vote." Bledsoe said, "o n that crucial, firs t day when the 29 billion dollar chance for the iwople to retrieve some of their tax dollars came up, M cC or mack was campaigning in Rich land and was recorded absent.” "O n the second day, when revenue s,taring cam up, again, he paired Ills vote and his con gressional responsibility was crowning a queen at the C lark County F a ir!” "Revenue sharing is one ol the most Important pieces of legislation in the lase decade. If McCormak had been listen ing to the people In his district, he would have know than re venue sharing is dear to the hearts of the over-burdenec taxpayers. If he did. In fact know it, he le t rayed his public trust by not being ['resent in Congress to speak out on be half of the people he Is sup posed to be representing.
