Jackson seeks House seat
A native Portlander. Cary Jackson,
announced his candidacy for the office of
State Representative in Portland's Dis
trict 18. Thia Northeast Portland District
includes the neighborhoods of Alameda.
Beaumont. Hollywood. Irvington and
Roae City.
Jackson, a 1966 graudate of Jackson
High School, cited unsolved local and
neighborhood problems as his reason for
filing for office. He sees the continued
need to solve the problems of tax relief
for the average homeowner, disregard
for the limited incomes of the elderly, and
our everyday energy problems as critical
areas that need attention.
“I believe my experience and fami
liarity with Northeast Portland's unique
problems helps qualify me to serve as
their representative," Jackson said. “As
I talk with community people. I share
their concern over rising area crimes and
burglaries, increasing growth and waste
by government bureaucracy, increasing
utility rate and a general lack of concern
by government in critical problem areas.
I want my candidacy to stand for change,
awareness and solutions to these prob
lems,” Jackson stated.
In conjunction with his announcing his
candidacy. Jackson resigned as Execu
tive Officer of the Trade and Economic
Development Committee for Oregon’s
State Legislature. This joint statutory
committee is chaired by the President of
the Senate and Speaker of the House.
“Serving in the Executive Officer capa
city for over a year, has given me great
insight into legislative problems, but
primarily has provided me with the
experience to work within our legislative
system and solve problems," observed
Jackson.
Following his graduation from Jeffer
son High School where he served as
Student Body President, Jackson receiv
ed his BA from Harvard. Working his
way through college, he also earned a
Masters in Business Administration from
Stanford.
While obtaining his education, the
Portland's volunteer school nurse program is in its second year and more nurses are
needed to expand the program to cover all the Portland Public Schools.
The program, the first in the nation, allows Registered Nurses to volunteer
professionally as nurses in the schools.
The program is designed to show the need for nurses in the schools and to allow
nurses who do not have employment to acquire the work required to maintain their
licenses.
Nurses work one day a week, plus attending staff and educational meetings.

by Cal R Williams
If your child is one, two or three years
old, babyhood has passed. You are now
seeing a real person reaching out to
discover what wonderful things there are
in the world to taste, to feel, to smell, to
look at, and to handle.
During the first year while children are
infants, you learn many things about
them and yourself. First you learn that
they don't break easily, they are made of
pretty tough stuff and no single mishap
makes a great deal of difference. You may
make yourself nervous trying to do the
perfect thing all of the time. Relax! You
can’t always succeed and it’s really your
basic relationship that counts. Be assur
ed. that is you and your child are enjoying
life together, you must be using the best
methods for both of you.
You know that children are going to
grow and learn. Although you may do
your share of nudging, your youngster is
responsible for much that happens.
Babies lift their heads, turn over, and
eventually crawl. You are an excited
teacher encouraging and guiding the
processes. But remember that much of
what is happening is the result of natural
growth going on inside the baby.
Muscles, bones and nerve endings are
developing faster than at any other
period of life and they are doing this at a
rate which may be different for each
infant.
Another thing you learn is that your
child is different. As you talk with other
parents, you discover that babies do not
ail sit up at the same time, eat the same
amount of cereal or sleep the same hours.
As time passes, some cry more, some are
easy going, some are cuddlers. some are
not. There is no just right for all of them
except to be themselves. As you observe
others, do not become concerned whether
your baby is winning the race, simply
give it a chance and love every new
growth step made.
Should you worry about bad habits?
Children seem to have plenty of these.
They suck on a bottle which really gets to
be a habit. Crawling is another example
and pants wetting is another. You may
nag and worry about these habits, but it
doesn't seem to help. Most infant habits
simply disappear in spite of parents. Just
remember, there are no adults with those
habits.
You also learned that infants com
municate their feelings by cries of hunger
or a turn of the head to avoid disliked
food. You have cuddled to stop the crying
and start the smile. Tears and smiles are
language that will turn into words. Fay
attention to the messages sent to you and
respond with love and acceptance. It
seems you learn much about children
being with them, but a wiae parent seeks
as much information as possible from
people who study children. Youngsters
grow best when they are with adults who
know and understand how children
develop and grow.

The third in a series of legislative
hearings on proposals to reduce utility
rates for low income and elderly persons
is set for Tuesday, February 10th at 1:30
p.m. in the Portland City Council
chambers.
State Representative Ed Lindquist,
D-Jennings Lodge, chairman of the
interim Legislative Committee on Trade
and Economic Development, said the
special subcommittee investigating al
ter native rate reduction proposals is
seeking testimony from all interested
persons.
“I am personally committed to finding a
legislative solution to this problem."
Lindquist said. “The question now is how
best to implement a rate reduction - in
other words, which of several proposals
to recommend to the 1977 legislature."
Recommendations outlined in a Nov
ember 19th committee staff report
include a tax refund, home insulation
program, general welfare increase, ener
gy stamps and special rates.
Lindquist said, however, “the door is
open to any proposal which will lead to
lower utility rates, especially winter fuel
costs, for Oregon's poor and elderly.”
