gerald appearance to the electric and lov­
ing rapport that crackles between her
and the audience. She doesn't use space
age electronics. She usee real musical
instruments in dialogue w ith her real
voice - and the communication is as clear
and comforting as sunlight. Recently she
has fought a valiant battle to keep from
losing her eyesight. Cataract operations,
a long recovery, and the use of new
glasses seem to have licked the problem
and maintained her ability to see her
audiences while she sings to them.
“In a way I ’m grateful I had to face up
to this crisis,“ she said in an interview
with Ron Boyle in London. "You need
something like this to see the world as it
really is. People, places, love. T hat to

Since Guide Dogs for the Blind was
incorporated as a non-profit organisation
in 1942, mare than 2700 men and women
have received guide dogs and in-resi­

in San Rafael, California, has trained 168

Consumers in Northeast Portland have
had few opportunities ia recent years to
present their grievances to proper
authorities or to know where to obtain
consumer buying information.
This w ill all be changed on August 19th
when the Oregon State Consumer S er­
vices Division and the Departm ent of
Human Resources w ill cooperate to bring
consumer specialists to the area for face
to face discussions w ith consumers.
Hasel G. Hays. Manager of the Albina
Human Resources Center, urges anyone
with a consumer question or problem to
Care to spend a month in sunny
Hawaii, or in the North Woods of W is­
consin?
Cliff Weems, a young Black business­
man who lives in Haw aii is attem pting to
match would-be vacationers with others
who would like to trade homes for awhile.
Home exchange plans — where families
trade houses for a while is not new. Such
arrangements are advertised in the U n it­
ed States sod abroad, but Weems be
lieves his is the first home exchange
business to operate from a natural vaca­
tion land like H a w a ii H e got the idea
when he realised that his own W aikiki
apartm ent was in a disersble locatioh and
would be an ideal unit to swap for a
vacation site on the mainland.
The 29 year old lecturer in psychology
a t Kapiolani Community College has been
working on Aloha Exchange for about six
months. He plans to publish s home ex­
change directory — listing sites, discrip
lions and prices from families who want
to exchange or rent their homes tempor
arily.
Weems does not plan to try to match
people or become involved in the arrange­
ments — each person is on his own after
finding an ideal situation in the directory.
The fee for listing to $20.. which includ­
es a copy of the directory, or the direc
tory can be purchased for $10 by those
who do not w ant to list their homes.
Weems took out a $1.000. loan and
mortgaged his car to start the exchange.
He considers the new business a kind of
hobby. “Call it an avocation. I just got
interested and its been an experience. It's
teaching me about the business world.
Even though this to a very small service
the complexities are amazing.n
i Weems plans to publish four times a
'y e a r, but the firs t to the hardest Many
people w ant to see a copy "to see w hat to
available before they list their own homes
but if nobody lists them there's going to
be nothing to put in the directory.”
Weems already has some interesting list­
ings — a San Francisco house, a Texas
ranch, a sheep ranch in Montana, a beach
home in Carmel, a home in Vancouver, a
camping area in Wisconsin, a bouse in
Wisconsin complete w ith use of a Contin­
ental M a rk II . and several homes in H a­
waii.
Weems, who to a native of D e tro it has
been in Haw aii for five years. He attend­
ed the U niversity of Wisconsin and earn­
ed two Masters degrees — in public
health and education — from the Univer
sity of Haw aii. H e to working on his
doctorate in psychology.
