Health patterns
Topic of survey
A comprehensive survey of
family health and health pat
terns, utilizing a questionaire
developed in Portland and
adopted for national use by
t h e U. S. Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare, will begin in Southeast
Portland and East Multno
mah County this week.
According to Linda A.
Kaeser, community develop
ment administrator of Com
munity Health Services, the
Portland-based sponsoring
organization, t h e survey's
questionnaire includes 47 ma
jor questions covering all
aspects of health conditions
and health care in the area.
A total of 2,400 sample
households, or about 2 per
cent of the population, will
be questioned by trained
interviewers going door-to-
door in an area containing
roughly half the population
of Multnomah County. The
area is bounded by the
Willamette River on t h e
west, the Sandy River on the
east, the Banfield Freeway
on the north and the Clacka
mas County line on the
south.
Ms. Kaesar said that CHS
has contracted for $44.997
with HEW to conduct the
survey and provide basic
health data on Portland for
comparison with other areas
of the country. "Results of
this survey will also be used
by CHS to develop our pre
paid comprehensive health
plan, and will provide data to
other organizations engaged
in health maintenance in the
Tri-County area." she said.
Dr. Hugh Tilson, Mult-
n o m a h County assistant
health officer, said this rep
resents one of the few times
that a rigorous, comprehen
sive survey meeting all aca
demic requirements is being
undertaken i n Multnomah
County. “The data will hold
real importance in helping
County Commissioners with
their current policy reassess
ment of medical care pro
grams," he stated.
The survey is based on a
15-30 minute interview with
the housewife and is sche
duled for completion within 6
months.
Community Health Ser
vices is an Oregon non-profit
corporation established to
provide comprehensive health
care on a pre paid basis,
initially to 25,000 residents of
Southeast Portland and East
Multnomah County.
The
corporation will offer a medi
cal, dental and optometric
health care package to em
ployer and union groups and
individual family subscribers.

Observer
(Continued fro m pg, I , c o l. 5)
The suggestion was im
plemented with the planning
of a subscription campaign to
be held in the churches
during April. Each of the 40
churches whose pastors be
long to AMA will appoint a
subscription chairman.
AMA is a service-oriented
i organization of ministers who
live or pastor in Albina;
Black and White, Catholic
and Protestant.
It’s fifty
members represent approxi
mately 40 churches.
Dr. Williams pointed out
the need in the Black com
munity for the service ren
dered by t h e Observer.
Black people of Oregon have
long needed a vehicle through
which we can make our
hopes and aspirations, our
goals and determination, our
pains and frustrations known.
The Observer has not only
provided a means of com
m unication among Blacks,
but courageously and con
sistently speaks to the white
com m unity
and
to its
leaders
le ttin g t h e m
know what must be done."
Dr. Williams urged that
the other Black and Black
oriented organ izations, as
well as “tuned in” whites,
join in the campaign and
take this opportunity to sup
port the Observer. “This is
the first Black owned news
paper in Oregon to qualify
for membership in the Ore
gon Newspaper Publishers
Association and the first to
belong to the National News
papers Publishers Associa
tion, t h e organization of
Black newspapers.
“Although only two years
old, the Observer has proved
its worth and should receive
the support of white busi
nessmen. The Observer is
read and respected - it is
only good business to sup
port this type of newspaper."
ernor Tom McCall more than
a year ago:
- It relieves homeowners
and business property tax
payers of the bulk of school
finance costs.
It raises the funds neces-
sary to let school districts
operate, and provides an
adequate tax base.
-- It makes what you-earn
determine what-you pay.
It continues local control
of schools, and makes school
boards more effective by
ending the ritual of annual
budget politics.
Under this plan, nearly 80
percent of Oregonians will
pay less in total taxes. If the
adjusted gross income shown
on your tax return is less
than $16,000, you will prob
ably pay less in total taxes.
If it is more, you will prob
ably pay more.
It means
middle and low income wage
earners will feel real tax
relief.
So will small businesses
and family farms.
New
corporate excise tax rates
have been made progressive,
just like individual rates.
These features in the plan,
plus amendments added in
the House and Senate, have
steadily increased support
for the proposal.
One special factor in the
Governor's plan is its new
emphasis on early education.
Because of the realization
that the early years are the
most decisive ones in a
child's education, the Legis
lature increased the support
of kindergartens that had
been proposed by McCall.
I believe the Governor's
plan is far sighted and equit
able, and I believe most of
you will prefer it to the
present system.
At least
you deserve to make that
choice. Because of bipartisan
legislative action, you will
now have the chance.
Of specific interest to the
Model Cities Neighborhood is
the ratification of the 14th
Amendment prohibiting dis
crimination on the basis of
rare. Thia bill, which should
have been taken care of 100
years ago. was sponsored by
Representative Hill McCoy,
the only Black Representa
tive in the Oregon Legisla
lure. I co-sponsored this bill.
