1968 was the planning year
for the Model Cities Program
in Portland.
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

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.
Next week this column will
review some of the actual
accomplishments in the eco
nomic development of the
Portland Model Cities area
since the beginning of the
community development pro
gram.

The Clinic is regularly
open on Monday and Wed
nesday evenings. 5:30 to 8:30
p.m. Staffed by volunteer
attorneys, the Clinic offers
free legal advice and counsel
concerning any legal advice
and counsel concerning any
legal problem, including cri
minal charges.
If help is
needed beyond im m ediate
legal advice, it may be pro
vided free to the poor and at
minimal cost to those who
can afford to pay.
Elim inating p o t e n t i a l
sources of legal disputes and
crises through planning and
advice is also a service of the
Albina Legal Clinic.
At
torneys will be pleased to
read contracts before they
are signed, or to discuss with
interested persons the law
concerning landlord and
tenants, collections and gar
nishments, dom estic rela
tions, probate and estates, or
any other areas of concern.
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.

factor that causes an at-
celerated growth of harden
ing of the arteries.
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.

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.
Dr. Bussman said it is also
important to identify those
children at an early age who
are born with a metabolic
