Asian community topic
A four week series of
seminars, "Portland’s Asian
Community: It’s History and
Viewpoint", will begin Thurs
day, May 3- The seminars
will meet each Thursday at
7:30 p.m. in the Japanese
American Citizens League
Office, 327 N W. Couch in
Portland. They will explore
both the history and present
social standing of Portland’s
two largest Asian minorities,
the Chinese and Japanese.
(The seminars are jointly
sponsored by the Japanese
American Citizens League,
the Chinese Consolidated
Benevolent Association and
the Center for Urban Edu
cation. I
Since World II, the im
pression has grown that these
two groups represent the
only minorities that have
been successfully integrated
into the structure of Ameri
can society. The seminars
will examine the validity of
this theory. They will also
examine the development and
current organization of the
two communities.
There will be a $10.00
charge for the four seminars,
and enrollm ent will be
limited. For further infor
mation. call CUE at 224 1144.

Reverend Hicks intends to
continue helping winos on a
small scale basis in his small
headquarters in North Port
land, he feels the personal
contact that is given each
man is very important. He
has seen the progress made
by the men in his program
and sincerely believes there
is hope. “I feel that after a
man has gone through the
drying out process, he has
the God-given sense to realize
he does have a problem."

and purpose in each act. The
show began with a heavy,
solid, bass beat, some mellow
organ, and foot patting per
cussion from the slickest
band in The N o r t h w e s t ,
’Pleasure.”
The pace was slowed dow n

A play,

tors from Adams High. It
dealt with a facet of the
Black lifestyle and asked two
questions relevant to all.

more acta were added. One
of them was Roy Bell, a
member of The Northwest
Black Arts Society who re
cited his poetry to an echo
ing tune of. “right on. bro
ther!" from the audience.
Another was a delightfully
funny, but deeply meaningful
play from another section of
the Adam's High D r a m a
group. The only disapoint
ment of the Sunday per
formance and perhaps the
whole trip was that the show
was unexpectedly cut short,
and some arts didn't get on.
This whole trip and all
performances were m a d e
possible by people who prac
tire brotherhood, not simply
advocate it! A lady respon
sible for much of the exlen
sive planning for thia trip.
Vicki Jones, a community
agent at Adam's High, re
peatedly pointed to others
who helpt-d when gratitude
was express«^ to her. Some
of the donators were Did
Blood's Clothing Store and
Centenary Wilbur Methodist
Church, who gave a ch«-ck
for $75.00 with no questions
askt-d. "Let me tell you. it
was a moral booster," Vickie
exclaimed. Mr. Vince Lorn
bard. Assistant Warden in
the Washington State Peni
tentiary was very inslru
mental in the success of the
program.
"Pleasure." the
band. lurn«*d down an en
gagement at the Downstairs
Ixiunge in order to make the
trip for fr«-e, while J.D.
Rockfeller HI Grants for
Arts and General Education
at Adams High paid for band
equipment.
Grover Wash
ington was due in Albequer
que. New Mexico, but turned
it down to make the trip to
the prison.
Also to be thanked is John
Bibbs, teacher at Jefferson
High and the man respon
sible for a lot of the planning.
Mr. Bibbs made sure all per
formers were there on lime,
and also performed himself,
which gels kind of com
plicated if you think about it.
James Duckett, the bus
driver who drove the bus
that the Albina Ministerial
Alliance was instrumental in
helping to obtain, was a
mountain of patience up and
bark.
Plans are now being for
mulated for a return trip to

The spice of the show was
the baddest, bosses!, slickest
fashion show t h a t would
cause any Paris fashion de
sign er to sta re in awe!
Clothes were not only donat
ed for use by Old Blood's
clothing store, but John mul
lin, owner of Old Blood's
drove up himself to perso
nally commentate the show.
And what a show it was!
D isplaying first, "Casual
wear." next "Slick wear" and
last but almost the baddest
(m eaning good), was the
“After five attire."
Last on the program, a
surge of hop«- was instilled,
with the singing of the Black
national anthem.
By now
you may be a little bit tired
of reading this; that is. if you
were looking for something
negative or some problems
that they might have en
countered while performing
the show.
Well. I won't
disappoint you. there was a
problem that occurred. The
electricity was accidently cut
off and the band was unable
to play for approximately 2
minutes. Other than that I
tell you truthfully. 1 have
never seen a more well pre
sented, well received pro
gram in years.
Sunday afternoon, when
the show was held under
maximum security and be
fore a much larger audience.
