During that year many meetings of the Model Cities Em ployment and Economic Development Committee were held. After several meetings, a number of sub com m ittees w ere formed. One was the Busi ness Development sub com mittee. The basic problem that the sub-committee identified was that of how to (11 increase the number of well managed and financially strong busi nesses in or near the area to provide jobs for residents and (2) expand light industry and small businesses to be owned and managed by resi dents of the Model Cities area. While the subcommittee was studying and refining its goals and approaches, mem hers attended a number of meetings of the city’s poor held at the various public schools in the Model Cities area. Also present at these meetings were representa tives of the Small Business Administration, the Federal Economic Development Of fice, the State Economic De velopment Office, the Oregon State Employment Service. Pacific Northwest Bell, the U.S. Department of Com merce, the First National Bank of Oregon, the United States National Bank of Ore gon. the Urban League, and the Governor's office. Out of EW . PORTLAND MEADOWS OPERATED BY JERRY COLLINS ENTERPRISES INC FOR RESERVATIONS CALL 2SS9144 these meetings, and out of discussions with the Small Business Administration, the idea of a community develop ment „ ¿-‘»ration began to take shape. Such a cor poration could be very ad vantageous in the effort to sponsor and encourage new business formation within the Model Cities area. Early in 1969 a committee was formed to establish a community development cor poration and to get it funded. Since community organisa tion of this type was land still isl somewhat politically controversial, the funds from HUD w e r e c h a n n e lle d through the Portland City Council. Mayor Shrunk therefore appointed a task force to assist the Model Cities Economic Develop ment Working Committee by re-evaluating the scope of the program and refining the component for resubmission and implementation during the 1971 1972 action year. In the early part of 1970. upon the reccomendatlon of the City Council, a board of directors was chosen for the development corporation. The operating agency that was eventually chosen was the Metropolitan Economic Development Industrial Al liance, Incorporated (MEDIA Inc.). Media provides both tech nical and financial assistance to area businessmen. Tech nical assistance is provided by MEDIA staff members who are experienced in var ious areas of management, economics and accounting. Financial assistance is pro vided in several ways. The chronological develop ment of the Community De velopment Program discussed thus far has been what might be described as the forma tive period of the program.

The Albina Legal Clinic staff is also interested in talking about the law and how it affects local residents. Anyone may drop in the Clinic for literature about the law or for information con cerning services available from other social agencies in the community. The Albina I^gal Clinic was founded in 1970 by Ixigal Aid Attorneys who felt that by bringing residents of Albina in contact with law yers who are willing to counsel and represent them, barriers of distrust and mis understanding could be eli rninated. y o u lik< S IZ E S v o u w a n t H I S| .

Dr. Bussman also com mented that if we do not force our children outside to run and play, we may be doing them a further dis service. Studies have shown that physical activity builds and strengthens the heart to better accept the increased burden of high blood pres sure, stress situations or even a heart attack. The tendency toward exercise in later years seems to be related to the active child during formative years. Dr. Bussman, who is a member of the Board of Directors and is Chairman of the Community Service Sec tion of the Oregon Heart Association, slates that Heart z\ssociation research has shown that overeating, es perially foods high in choies terol, and lack of physical activity are two of the most important factors we should watch in our children. Heart Association research has also revealed that cigarette smok ing can increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. The more of the risk factors which you possess overweight. Smoking cig arettes, not exercising, high cholesterol levels, or high b lo o d pressure the greater your risk of heart attack or stroke. a n I » ,1 4» • M ÎM R lb O» UMMU r.E U U M S i f If the time has come that you must wear DENTURES Consult Dr. Bernard for M O D E R N Doctor warns parents Portland pediatric cardio logist Dr. John Bussman issued a warning to parents that they may be leading their children to heart at tacks or strokes 15, 25 or 35 years from now. In an interview o n Portland's KWJJ radio. Dr. Bussman said that our parents may be the culprits responsible for heart attacks of our 20. 30. 40. etc., year olds' today. Dr. Bussman reported that research findings have indi cated that our children do not always get the right types of foods, nor do they exercise adequately. Far too many infants studied have shown a considerable buildup of fatty deposits within the arteries. Foods high in cholesterol have been found to increase the growth of these fatty deposits. This growth, often referred to as hardening of the arteries, is one of the major reasons why the blood supply is blocked to the heart or the brain, causing a heart attack or stroke. Children who are raised on high cholesterol foods will probably continue to eat this type of food. thus subjecting their children to foods which tend to increase the rate of hardening of the artery de velopment.
