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

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

able at county Extension offices or from

“THE UNFAIR NUCLEAR ENERGT.BAN

Measure 9 would allow as few as 11 legislators to stop
