Dr. Stanley L. Lucas, Portland,
Oregon’ s second Black physician,
established himself in his profession
here in 1909, about seven years after
Dr. J.A. Merriman opened his o f
fices locally.
Dr. Lucas came to serve as District
Surgeon fo r the U nion P acific
Railroad.
Born in Jamaica, British West In
dies, Dr. Lucas studied medicine in
Great B rita in and Canada. In
Canada he married Ethel Medley of
M ontreal and they came to the
United States in 1907. An interesting
link with another early Portlander,
W illiam D. Allen, was forged, as
Mrs. W .D. Allen was the former
L illia n Medley, a sister to Ethel
Medley Lucas. The Medley Hotel o f
the thirties derived its name from
that family.
Dr. Stanley Lucas (right) as he assumed the presiding of Atlantic City’s
Board of Education, with him are board of school estimates representatives Si
Lippman and Hugh Wathen.
D r. and M rs. Lucas had two
daughters, W ilm a and Enid who
were born in Portland in 1913. Be
tween 1917 and 1920 D r. Lucas
moved his family to Jamaica where
he served as District Medical Officer
in Spanish Town. He again moved,
this time to settle permanently in
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
In Atlantic City, Dr. Lucas prac
ticed medicine as Assistant Heaith
Officer for the City. He served as a
vice president o f the local Board of
Education, was a member o f the
Atlantic County Medical Society, a
Fellow o f the Am erican M edical
Association. He was also a past
President o f the New Jersey Medical
Association.

Phillips joins facilities board
Robert Phillips was appointed by
Mayor Neil Goldschmidt and con
firm ed by C ity C ouncil to the
Residential Care Facilities Board
(RCF) to replace Richard Mundy,
whose term expires A pril 9, 1980.
The Residential Care Facilities
Board was created by Ordinance No.
138937 passed by the Council Oc
tober 9, effective November 9, 1974,
amending Title 8 o f the City Code,
Health and Sanitation, by adding
C hapter 8.80, R esidential Care
Facilities.
The new ordinance created the
RCF Licensing Board which consists
o f nine members appointed by the
Mayor and confirmed by the Coun
cil, whose responsibility is to grant
the Certificate o f Review or License
to operate an RCF. Each member
serves a three-year term. This Board
works closely with A l Jamison, RCF
coordinator, who is responsible to
the City Commissioner for Public
Safety, Commissioner Charles Jor
dan.
The RCF Licensing Board is
responsible fo r review ing ap
plications and deciding on the basis
o f investigation whether to grant or
deny a program license. The type of
programs include group care fo r
physically and mentally handicap-
ped, alcohol and drug rehabilitation,
com m unity corrections centers,
group care for children and houses
for varied transitional problems.
Robert P h illip s who holds a
masters degree in Social Work feels
that both short-term and lons-term
residential care contributes substan
tially to restoring the individual to a
sufficie n t degree o f norm alcy to
allow him to function in his home,
w ork, and social environment. In
this
way,
longer
term
in
stitutionalization is avoided, long
term unemployment is averted and
self-sufficiency is improved.
He stated that " th e success or
failure o f a RCF largely is deter
mined by the extent o f its integration
into the community. The residential
character o f neighborhoods in which
the RCF wishes to locate w ill
probably play an important role in
determining the licensing status o f a
home.”
Robert Phillips is a member o f a
number o f civic organizations. They
include membership on the State
Health Divisions Board to Register
C linical Social W orkers, and the
Multnomah C ounty’ s Developmen
tal Disabilities Coordinating Council
just to name a few. He is also a can
didate for the Metropolitan Services
District Board.

THIS BILI CUTS YOUR HOME ELKTWC BILLS.
There’s one reason your home electric bills are
a lot higher than they should be: You are being
denied access to federally generated hydropower
...th e cheapest power available in the Northwest.
Pacific has been fighting to get a share of that
cheap power for you through joint utility efforts
and, most recently, through legal action in the
courts.
Now, leading members of Congress have recog
nized that legislation will eliminate this rate
problem.
The “Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning
Conservation and Renewable Resources Act”
(S3418) is before Congress. If it passes, all resi
dential customers—whether served by public or
investor-owned utilities—will have the same
access to low cost federal power.
With passage of this bill, Pacific Power will
immediately move to reduce home electric bills
by 20%. The bill provides for additional reduc
tions for five years until public and private power
costs are equal.
If you agree with this legislative proposal for
more equitable distribution of federal hydropower,
please write your congressman today. Or, clip this
ad and send to him with your comments.
Testimony of Pacific Power’s Board Chairman,
Don Frisbee, before Congress detailing the
company’s response to this legislation is available
on request at your Pacific Power office.
