Ortober 21 s t 1976 Portbind Aid offered both sides Low income persona seeking to be represented in a aivorce by Legal Aid Bill no longer have to taco th eir spouse to Legal Aid in order to bo represented, according to Paul K elly, director of the Multnomah Bar Association Legal Aid Service. A model project just selected for a $60.000 one-year grant will provide representetion for persons who can't be represented by Legal Aid due to conflict of interest in contested domestic rela tions cases. Legal Services Corporation, an independent federal agency charged with administering funds to la g a l Services programs across the country, provided the grant for the project which begins January 1st. 1977. . To assure quality representation legal ethics prohibit an attorney from repres seating both side in legal actions. This consideration has precluded Legal A id ’s Family Law Center from representing otherwise eligible low-income persons in divorces and other domestic relations matters. The demonstration project, one of 19 chosen out of over 100 proposals, w ill provide funds to pay private members of the Oregon Bar to represent Legal Aid eligible persons whose interests conflict :<C ! to tha 197« UaBad W ay ' in the Ed -*--- ui M m w j .* Uadtod W ay Loaned Executive. aorted carde a< thoee who bad > Thou — *T «amato« to Cuitad Way and teierboaed < tina yuor.

Clear difference (continued from p. 1 col. 3) Augmenting the staff of the Portland offices of Semler Optical. D r. Larry Semler has announced the appointment of W ayne Billings, a w ell known eyewear stylist. Billings, a dispensing optician with several special recognitions for skill, in the Opthalmic field, has practiced in Port land since 1953. He was employed in Zell Bros'. Optical Dept. for 15 years and at Bmyon Optical Co. as a dispensing optici an and as general manager for 7 years. In recognition of his specialized skill and ability, Billings is certified by the American Board of Opticionary - in addi tion he is a Fellow of the National Aca demy of Opticionary and holds member ship in the Oregon Association of Opthal mic Dispensers. “Both the young and elderly are ex ceedingly eyewear style conscious these days and the manufacturers of the modern frames and lenses have newly produced an exceptionally large variety of styles and models." Billings pointed out. "The right selection can enhance the appearance of the w earer very greatly. The choice includes models for business. aa tokenism but as a reflection of his basic commitment to racial justice. He has put forward a program that ia re sponsive to the needs of Black Am eri The choice has rarely been clearer, bu the outcome is uncertain. Black voters are potentially the decisive factor on November 2nd. I f Blacks had voted in the same proportion as whites in 1968. H ubert Humphrey would have been elected President. W ith so much at stake. Blacks cannot afford to stay home this time. Political apathy which rewards our enemies and punishes our friends hurts Black Americans most of all. Jimm y C arter deserves our support on November 2nd, because Black Americans need a friend in the W hite House. “I f you would make clothing w ith that "just right look." then you need to pay careful attention not only to your sewing skills, but also to the type of fabric you select." points out Ardis Koester. Oregon State University Extension textile and clothing specialist. For instance, the structure of the fabric affects its appearance, handling and be havior "and you should be able to recog mze the difference between the more common fabric construction methods for best success in home sewing,” Mrs. Koes ter points out. To help the consumer understand the differences among the many fabrics avail able on today's m arket, the OSU Exten sion Service has just published the circu lar. "The Structure of Woven. K nit and other Fabrics." In considering woven fabric, for in stance, the specialiat suggests that the consumer check to see that the yarns are at rig ht angles to each other since “many of today's fabrics have finishes that will not allow you to straighten or square the yarn intersections if it was not done dur ing manufacture." In the circular. Mrs. Koester discusses the differences in knit fabrics while point ing out charsctensts the consumer should check when considering buying knit fabric. Tw o other new Extension Service cir culars, both planned for those who sew at home, deal with clothing construction skills. "Basic Handsewing Stitches” empha sizes the need far coordinating equip ment. techniques and fabric to do hand sewing well. The circular includes infor (nation about needles, thread preparation and stitches, including suggestions on when to use certain stitches. "Cutting Skills for Garment Construe tion" is the title of a circular which gives suggestions on cutting out the pattern and the fabric as well as cutting to re move fabric bulk and cutting shaped Copies of all three circulars are avail able at county Extension offices or from OSU Bulletin Clerk.
