Union Avenue Popeyes is first of twelve expected in Portland area over next year. Restaurant employs 63 persons, many from Albina and St. Johns area high schools. 'Popeyes' opens restaurant Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken has opened the firs t o f tw elve restaurants in the Portland area at 3120 N .E . Union. And Popeyes Portland area fran chisee D ave S tu ard says the restaurant specializes in almost in stant service and an always fresh pro duct. " T h e combination o f speed and freshness is a tra d e m a rk of Popeyes,” says Stuard. He says the successful system is the result o f two ingredients: " F irs t, if our fried chicken has been cooked and out for more than 45 minutes, we won’t serve it to our customers. This guarantees fresh ness,” Stuard says. Second, speed is accomplished by hiring the largest serving crew o f any so-called “ fast fo o d ” restauran t chain. Stuard says the Union and Monroe store has 63 people, many local high school students, to make sure the ser vice remains as fast as advertised. Popeyes w on't compromise qua lity just for speed, however. " W e have special recipes, some o f them are complicated. But because we’re cooking right on the spot, and because we have more people serv ing, the end result is super food, super fast,” he says. The speed is quite apparent at the drive-up window. “ W e aim to have an order ready less than a minute after it is given. By the time the customer drives the few feet from the order microphone to the pick-up w indow , his order should be ready,” Stuard says. He says the drive-up window is an im p o rta n t fe a tu re w ith m an y Popeyes stores doing h alf their total business that way. A no th er feature is the "special seasoning and b atters w hich we believe give our products a delicious flavor not found elsewhere.” Recipes, o f course, are secret, Stuard says with a smile. Popeyes dinners com e in tw o , three or four piece orders and the price includes french fries or a rice dressing. The menu also includes chicken tacos, a stuffed shrimp dinner, cole slaw, barbecue beans, corn on the cob, apple pies, puddings, corn dogs and “ the w o rld ’ s m ost delicious onion rings,” according to Stuard. Chicken also comes in different bucket sizes. Popeyes, founded in 1972 by A . Copeland Enterprises, Inc., New O r leans, is a national fast food system.

SUIDB by Allen Jones DANCING WITH THE DELTA SORORITY The Delta Sorority has become a Black institution since its inception in 1913 by a group o f conscious Black women who were students at Howard Univer sity. A t this time many are alive and still active today. The women settled on five objectives to gage their Sorority’s progressive movements. They are: men tal health, education, economics, housing and social action. One can only marvel and admire the continued success o f the Delta Sorority after 66 years o f development. From this began a small group o f idealistic Black women who had the courage and perception to “ do something about it” regardless o f the opposition encountered along the way. The Sorority now has a membership in excess o f 65,000 with 400 Chapters throughout the world. The Portland Chapter has over 70 members and is still growing! The Delta Chapter in Portland continually strives to enhance the communities that they’ re involved in. For example, on M ay 19th the Delta’ s will be sponsoring an affair to raise funds for their scholarship fund. They will be recognizing local Black women o f achievement with internationally known Black poet N ik i Guivannii as the guest speaker. A n evening I ’m certainly looking forward to! This past weekend the Delta’s held their first dance o f the year, “ Dancing With Delta,” it was held at the Sheraton Hotel, Lloyd Center. Judging from the warm and friendly atmosphere o f the people in attendance it could have been billed — “ Long Tim e No See.” The a ffa ir drew people from all over Oregon and Washington. It was obviously well organized from start to finish. Donny A dair was there spinning the latest in disco music. The only negative reaction to the a ffa ir was that the dance ended too soon. Providing you want to look at that as being negative. Either way you look at it, the dance was a social success. Leading the D e lta ’s is M arian G ilm ore, President; Barbara Friday, Vice President; Delores Lainer, Recording Secre tary; Evelyn Harris, Financial Secretary; Lillian Cunninghan, Correspond ing Secretary; and Laura Glauson, Treasurer. Thank you ladies for a very en joyable evening o f fellowship and fun. CHECK IT OUTII A special thanks to L olita Darby for the invitation and warm hospitality she is so aptly noted fo r. I ’d also like to thank June Key for the biographical in form ation on the Delta Sorority. SAVINGS PLANS. FOR EDUCATION. DOWN PAYMENT. OR JUST PEACE OF MIND.
