Y outh gives hijacking account by Terry Lynn Robertson Heather Pittman, 13, a student at Binnsmead grade school, was one ol the 111 persons aboard the United Flight 739 which was hijacked last Wednesday evening. It was enroute from Portland to Los Angeles. Heather explains that she wasn't afraid, because she wasn’t quite sure what a hijacker really was, further more she said that the air crew did not alarm the passengers in any way of what was taking place. Later it was explained to her what a hijacker was. Heather said she was next in line to occupy the restroom, she had to wait several minutes because the hijacker was inside the restroom for at least an hour and would not come out. A stewardess finally had to knock on the door and ask if anything was wrong. He answered and said his leg was giving him trouble. The door was finally opened and he and the stewardess headed towards the front of the plane. Heather figured that was when the hijacker ordered the plane be returned to Portland. Heather said they stopped in San Francisco for fuel and she wondered why, be cause they were so close to Los Angeles. Heather said the only thing she knew about him was that he sat two seats behind her. She sat in 17 and he was in 19. Heather feels that she will be able to fly again with confidence that it will never happen to her again. This was not her first time flying. She still thinks about the incident, knowing that a disaster could have happened. Heather explained that she would have loved to have had the chance to continue her trip like the others who returned to Los Angeles, but because of her mother’s wish for her to stay, she remained in Portland. She got her money back without any hassles and a free plane ride to California. JOIN WEIGHT WATCHERS NOW ! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?

AND YOU ARE INVITED TO WALNUT PARK'S "GRAND RE-OPENING PARTY" Thoughts (Continued from page 1 column 3) tion to all matters of concern to the school board. But Black parents should consider carefully what their answers are to the following questions: Does School Board member Rieke convey the impression that his basic feelings toward Black people are negative? Does he take positions at school board meetings that Blacks have learned through bitter experiences will deprive their children of equal opportunity and quality education? Does he assume the role ot the consummate law-and-order politi cian whose aim is to guarantee for himself the right to express lawless ness tow ards legitim ate Black demands for justice? Does he use his school board presence to display anti-Black pro secutorial capability or to serve as an advocate for equal quality educa tion? Black people must remember not to create illusory shelters to avoid facing the realities of racial anti pathies and hostilities on the part of public elected officials. Blacks must continue to be cause-oriented and situation-conscious. These are essen tial to successful programs by Black protest and resistance.
