And to prove this Mrs. Laws has become in volved in a program railed Ixiaves and Fishes. (.oaves and Fishes, a nutri tional food program, ia run w ith a realization that "Man ran not live by bread alone." Although it provides people 56 years and older with a hot, attractive, nutri tional meal 3 days a week, the program has murh more of a purpose. It serves as a means of sorialbility fo r many of its patrons. Most of the elderly that eat these meals ran and do pay for them. Hut they find more than just food when they come; they find companion ship, friends and an urge to become more active in life. There are 21 such renters in Portland and Newberg. The Central Office is in Westminster P re s b y te ria n Church. The location of the program that Mrs. Laws is involved with is located at M t. Tabor Church on N.E. 35th and Yamhill. They serve about 45 people a day at the church and about 60 elderly people are served in their Meals on Wheels pro gram, for those who can't travel. Mrs. Ijswa. who helps in transporting t h e s e meals, does this all voluntarily. She was born in Portland, went to Grant High, Portland Stale University and Oregon State University and holds a Barn elors d e g r e e in Political Science. She was a student teacher at Jefferson High School, but rathe- than pur sue a teachirx career, she spends murh of her time in M ary Laws, volunteer d rive r for Loaves and Pistes, pre pares to deliver hot meals to elderly shut-ins.

The Loaves and Fishes Program is federally funded; however, the original funds came from the church. Ap proximately 75% of t h e funds still come from the church, and much of the work is volunteer. "I find it rewarding to see the people." Mrs. Ijiw s ex plained. “They just need someone to care about, and someone who cares about them. Many older rich people are very lonely.

T. N . Noffa Welcomes you to The b a s i c teaching of EC K A .N K A It is that the indi vidual has the capacity to transcend this physical uni verse and visit other worlds and planes through Soul Travel methods and techni ques. This is done according to th e individual's own growth and understanding which is know as an indi vidual's own level of con sciousness. KCKANKAR teaches t h a t nothing is worthwhile unless it has been acquired through the value of a person's own experience. KCKists believe that there are many planes above the physical world, but the main objective of KCK chelas is to reach the Soul plane where they achieve Soul Realization. It is from this point that they can work toward their own God Realization. In order to reach the Soul Plane, one must work up ward through the planes that lie below it. These are the physical, astral, casual, men tai and etheric planes. These planes can best be described as states of con sciousness. Soul Travel is the art of moving one's at tention from one place to another. When an individual l-ans to move his attention or -.0 ^ The Friendly House, 2617 NW Savier.

ECKANKAR is not a religion. metapfcyaM-al teaching or Yoga teaching, but an educational teaching about life IT 8 E L F Rased on the moat ancient teachings, it is the first truly modern approach to the spiritual realms. It succeeds where others fail because it pro vides a method for the indi vidual to demonstrate by his own v o litio n TOTAL AW ARENESS the aware ness of God. consciousness to the mental plane, or any other plane, then he knows for certain that there is life after death. Thia is another basic teach ing of K C K A N K A R : Sur vival after death. Those in KCK say that Soul Travel ia like dying daily, and it re moves any fear of death. A t the time of death, it is just an extension of the South Travel exercises, only this time it is permanent.
