Youth gather food
by Rosemary Allen
Over 10,000 high school
students participated in the
4th annual Second Wind Food
Drive February 23rd and
24th. With the assistance of
400 Oregon National Guards
men and 223 National Guard
trucks, the youth planned
door to-door food drive can
vassed the tri-county area
and some parts of Washing
ton collecting some 95 tons of
canned goods.
"The need was fantastic,''
explained youth coordinator
Ron Evans, who is a work-
study student from Mt. Hood
Community College at the
Metropolitan Youth Commis­
sion where Second Wind is
based.
"We found through visits
to the food agencies that
they w ere serving more
needy families than before
and that the cold winter had
forced families to spend their
checks on clothing and heat.
They couldn't buy nutritous
food."
The 12 agencies to receive
the Second Wind goods are:
Community Care, FISH Port­
land, Francis Center, Life
Center, Salvation Army, Sun­
shine Division, SNOW-CAP,
St. Vincent de Paul - Wash­
ington County, FISH - Hills­
boro, FISH • Oregon City-
West Linn. Some of these
agencies give a small share
to smaller agencies, like the
Blanchet House.
The goal of 100 tons fell
short by only 5 tons. Next
year s goal is set for 125 tons
of canned food. According to
youth coordinator Ron Evans,
the students participate in
the drive because they re­
ceive satisfaction from help­
ing others in need. “It’s not
a school project,” Evans said,
"and we stress there's no
money or prizes in it. Some
students went just to get out
of the house on the weekend.
Others just to mess around,
but 90% came to really
work." And work they did!

"I

We want to know how many
Blacks are hired and what

Ford stated.
In resigning her position.
Mrs. Boynton pointed to the
accomplishments the center
has experienced in the last
16 months. “All of this has
been possible because of the
hard work of the largely
highly competent staff who,
in most cases, have had a
total commitment to the
goals and objectives of the
Head Start program. They
have worked long hours for
little money and with a con
tinuing dedication to the idea
that our best hope for the
future is in our children."

sent an-evaluation team in to
evaluate the center program.
Subsequently the child care
committee and the personnel
com m ittee of the PMSC
Board of Directors made in
dependent investigations.
Findings of the evaluation
committees were: that the
allegations of m ismanage
ment of children and poor
sanitary and health practices
are unfounded. They found
a lack of communication be­
tween the Director and the
staff that made the inter
vention of the union possible.
They also found that many
staff members were unsure
about their job expectations
and about policies and pro­
cedures.
The team also
found that overall the pro­
gram is conforming to guide­
lines and that the children
are receiving proper care
and educational experiences.
They also found that the
program has progressed dur
ing the period that Mrs.
Boynton has been in charge.
Many members of the Black
community resent the intru­
sion of the IWW. and its
charges of racism. Although
the IWW has called for Black
control of the center (the
Director and Master Teacher
are white), their critics ac
cuse them of using the Black
cause for their own ends.
Many also believe that the
