THE FIFTH DIMENSION
5th Dimeasioa: From Aquarius to Star Daaciag
In 1965, a little known singing
group called The 5th Dimension got
together and recorded a song called
“ Up, U p, and Aw ay,” that turned
out to be one o f the biggest smash
hits in music history. The single won
four Grammy Awards, the group
catapulted to stardom, and their
story has been one o f success ever
since.
Today, the 5th Dimension is one
of the most popular singing groups
in the world. They have released no
less than a dozen hit albums and
fourteen gold records, including such
blockbuster hits as “ Aquarius/Let
the Sun Shine In ,” “ One Less Bell to
Answer,” "W edding Bell Blues,”
and “ Stoned Soul Picnic” — and
their new Motown album “ STAR
D A N C IN G ” promises to be equally
as successful.
They have toured extensively
throughout the U n ited States,
Europe and the Orient and continue
longevity is their upbeat, easy
listening sound. The kind o f qjusic
they generate has a broad-based
audience appeal that most other
groups haven't quite been able to
match. Another reason is that the
group has grown and changed with
the times, and has adapted their style
accordingly.

McLemore, the group’s current act is
an exciting combination o f the old
and new. “ People who come to hear
the 5th Dimension expect to hear
some o f our old hits,” says Florence,
“ so o f course they are included, but
we have more versatility now —
we’re more spontaneous.”
Preferring to be innovators, not
imitators, the group did not jump on
the bandwagon o f the heavy metal
sounds in the 1960’s, nor do they in
tend to jump on the bandwagon of
punk-rock in the 1970’s. Instead,
they have taken the time and effort
*to carefully cultivate a new sound
that is distinctly their own. Together
the group has more vocal range than
ever — their material is more daring,
more varied. On stage the group still
perform s w ith the same highly
polished professionalism they always
did but they are less inhibited, more
com fortable, and the results are
gratifying.
W ith such a dynamic new com
bination o f talent and material, and
a new album recently released on
Motown Records, it looks like the
5th Dimension may once again make
music history.
The Fifth Dimension will be ap
pearing at the “ Festival o f the 60’s”
at Oregon State University on Sep
tember 9th.

M A R IE ’S
KITCHE
There’ s a good old fashioned
“ hoe-down” at North Williams and
Skidmore in Portland this week, but
this one is coming up greens and not
roses.
With the help of Urban 4-H youth,
the plot of land on this u.ban Port
land corner is being weeded and tend
ed carefully following seeding early
this month by members of The Albina
Action Center. (T A A C )
Urban 4-H members participated
by manning hoes and sharing in the
weeding chores.
Cleaning up the garden plot at the
Skidmore corner were 4-H members
Terrell Jenkins, W illiam Shamsud-
Din, Royce Hardy, Kimberly Kim-
mons,
Lisa
M cD o n n e ll
and
Stephanie Cole.
With them, and also wielding a
hoe, was Urban 4-H Director, Ira D.
Mumford.
“ A hoe in the hand is worth a
bushel o f greens on this corner”
noted Mumford, who urges people
of the Albina community to take ad
vantage o f the T A A C garden
project.
The garden plots are available to
the public, announces Rose Taylor,
Director of T A A C , who adds that
those participating in the program
share their harvests with an elderly,
low-incom e or handicapped in
dividual.
Gardeners also agree to harvest
only those crops which arc assigned
by the T A A C garden coordinator.
Garden plots can be assigned by
Judy Bowek, Coordinator, at the
King Neighborhood F acility or
T A A C offices, 707 N .E . K n ott
Street. She can be reached by phone
at 288-8345.
The second planting this year will
yield a crop o f collards, mustard
greens, swiss chard and beets. Sum
mer seeding is in progress now. In
the spring, fields will be seeded with
corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash,
cabbage and broccoli.
In addition to providing fresh
produce to anyone who agrees to the
conditions for gardening the land,
there is a “ gleaning” provision,
providing for the gathering of crops
that remain in the fields after the
harvest.
As far back as Moses’ tim e,
gleaning was a means to prevent
waste and providing an adequate diet
for low-income families.
In 1977, gleaning programs in
Oregon provided more than 132 tons
of produce that would have been left
in Oregon fields.
