■ The Concerned Black Parents commit
tee invites Black parents to join in their
efforts to minimize the frustrations,
inconviences, and inequities experienced
by Black students involved in the Port
land Public School busing program.
The core group of CBP was organized
in early December, 1977, and is composed
of Black parents whose children are
bused out of their community based
schools into predominantly w hite student
enrollment schools.
Problems cited by Black parent's in
volved in the Portland School District's
busing program, include erratic student
pick-ups and delivery services, unsafe
bus loading areas, obscure bus route,
inconvenient w aiting areas in inclement
weather, and the hazardous over-crowd
ing of student passengers are prompting
this action.
Although many Black parents support
Portland School desegregation, they feel
that the closure and reorganization of
most community based elementary and
high schools with predominantly Black
student enrollment has forced families
into compliance with racial desegregation
policies. Some whites are now volun
tarily bused into inner city schools, but
Black families have seen their choice of
attendance at community based schools
systematically diminished to a forced
one-way busing experience.
The advent of early childhood educa
tion schools, as opposed to kindergarten
through eighth grade elementary schools,
in the minority community has contri
buted to an alarming number of youthful
students standing unsheltered in pre
dawn and after dusk hours, waiting for
school bus arrival and delivery services.
The Committee, co-chaired by Mrs.
Joyce Payne and Charles Ford, has
established as one of it ’s goals the
advocacy for placing a middle school in
the immediate community.
The Concerned Black Parents commit
tee will hold two Saturday meetings
during the month of January at the King
Neighborhood Facility, located at 4815
N .E . 7th Avenue.
These upcoming
meetings are scheduled for January 14th
and January 28th. Both will begin at

you’re discouraged.
Those unwanted
pounds aren't disappearing fast enough,
and the waistline bulge is still spoiling
the fit of your clothes. I t has been said
that “misery loves company," but you
don't believe it, and you're about ready to
quit. Doctors and nutritionists, aware of
the difficulties of dieting, would assure
you that you shouldn't give up, because
there is a way to lose weight and increase
vitality at the same time. Here's how -

shellfish.
Eliminate your negative thoughts and
set sail on a diet routine that accentuates
the positive. Fishery products can slim
and trim you while you enjoy every
luscious bite.
The reasons is that
