Thia enables a school district to renew or update those textbooks which might be outdated, and also to provide new textbooks on new subjects, or old subjects, that have just become available.

When the recom mendation are completed, individual sets of proposed textbooks are distributed to the area adm inistrative offices and the central administration. Administrators and the public are then invited to examine the textbooks for approval, dis approval or comment. According to John Fallman. in the textbook division, the Portland Public Schools textbook adoption project began in January of this year, and will not be completed until July 1st, 1977. “In other words," Fallman said, “the district will submit teacher, citizen and adminstrative recommendations to the school board in July of 1977.

George Robinson has been an activ ist in both the Black Church and the Black political movement in America. The 37 year old author from Sumter County, Georgia has drawn freely from his own experiences to w rite “T he Need For M etanoia Conversion In The Black Church." The title may be somewhat mis leading to the lay person, who may think they are in for some heavy complicated metomorphic gobblygook. Instead, the reader is treated to a down to earth, common sense approach to the empow erm ent of a people that have heretofore been on the "outside looking in." I t is of significance th a t George Robin son hails from the immediate Georgia area th a t now sends us Jimmy C arter as the leading candidate for the President of the U nited States.

The Reverend Kay Wilson, a Scientol ogy minister, from Portland said, ‘W ith the release of the files on these churches, we will be able to get a better idea of the scope of government harrassment of re form minded organizations. When this is known we will be able to help these organizations put a stop to that harrass ment by taking the legal action necessary to ensure those agencies responsible are ci .ied to answer for their practices.' Reverend Wilson will be continuing to contact churches in Portland, informing them of the value of the F O IA , and work ing with them on the requests. ‘We hope to help at least 15 churches with a total of over 200 F O IA requests in the near future. We feel this is one of the best ways to ensure integrity in govern ment and bring peace of mind to churches who are concerned about their commun ity,' she concluded.
