There is no belter way to learn
about life in prison than to visit the
State Penitentiary anti speak with the
inmates themselves. While many
pass o il the experience as unimport­
ant, others see the value in perceiving
prison from inside out. M u lt­
nomah C ounty Commissioner
Gladys McCoy and assistants Ethel
I ee, Betsey Brumm, and Doris
Engstrom are among the latter,
seeing prison more as a symptom ot
a social ill than as an ill in itself.
Commissioner McCoy and her
assistants visited Oregon State
Penitentiary, responding to an in­
vitation to attend the Wednesday
evening meeting of the ( lass ol Legal
Processes. At the meeting they
discusssed Portland's present, past,
and future planning problems, as
well as the problems ol local law en­
forcement, with the thirty man in­
mate-organized and inmate-operated
class. As the evening progressed, it
became appartent that many o f the
educational and informational tenets
ol the I egal Processes Class were
shared by Ms. McCoy. She, too.
believes that people want and need to
know more about the structure of
government and legal processes.
Ms. McCoy has been a Portland
resident since 1949. Since moving to
Portland, she has served as social
worker, college teacher, Governor’s
Ombudsperson, school board mem­
ber, and mother of seven. When elec­
ted to the Commissioner’s position,
she had served a very impressive ap­
prenticeship. The result is a public
official with a clear sense o f direction
and deep sense of public needs.
•T discovered while campaigning
that people know next to nothing
about county government,’ ’ the
Commissioner said. ‘ ‘Since then one
o f the prime objectives has been to
bring
government
to
the
people."Ms. McCoy went on to state
she wants to make government
more accessible, understandable,
and responsive, “ People want to
deal with the decision makers. I hope
to make that easier lor them.
Betsey
Brumm,
the
Com­
missioner’ s assistant, is charged with
coordinating the “ keep in touch
approach with the official and unof-
ficial responsibilities o f public office.
She spends as much time in the
community as possible and is
therefore based on the campus o f
Cascade Community College at 705
N. Killingsworth Street. " I really
function as a sort o f liaison between
the Commissioner and the public,"
said Ms. Brumm o f her job.
Ethel Lee, Ms. McCoy’ s technical
assistant, works in development and
implementation o f projects such as
"P roject Health” , a health plan
which is presently being considered
as a model for a proposed national
health plan.
Ms. Lee offered a great deal o f in­
sight into home rule government,
community corrections on a county
level, and the possible significance o f
programs such as the Job Corps, in
juvenile diversion. She went on the
address the growing problem o f
overcrowding
in
Corrections
Division institutions. “ Many offen­
ses can and should be treated on a
community level,” Ms. Lee stated.
"Some offenses, such as traffic and
driving offenses, should be removed
from the felony statutes. I t ’ s sad how
many families are broken up or ad­
ded to the welfare roles because o f a
nonviolent offense easily treatable in
the comm unity." Commissioner
McCoy concurred.
"Government is ’ us’ ,” stated
Commissioner McCoy. “ Unless we
as individuals become involved in the
decision making process, we have
left governnment in the hands of the
decision makers.”
The Commissioner is backing up
her words with action. Offices in
community centers to be accessible
to the public, obviously competent
assistants with an eye for community
needs, and even the use o f such
resources as available at the local
Penitentiary point to an impressive
commitment to community service.
In ‘ A-w orld-of-em pty-gestures’ ,
it’s good to come across those who
care enough to act.
When the Floor O ffice' reminded
the group that it was time to “ clear
the Floor” , each person left a little
changed. A seed was planted in the
minds ot each ol the inmates and
guests. In time it will grow and bear
the fruits o f greater understanding
between those who govern and those
who are governed.

More than 425,(MM) ill and elderly
Oregonians should consider being
immunized now lo r winter -spring
protection against influenza and its
dangerous complications, the State
Health Division said today.
The large group who should
receive flu vaccing includes persons
age 65 and older and those under 65
with serious chronic ailments such as
heart and lung diseases, kidney
trouble, diabetes and anemia.
Kristine Gebbie, Health Division
Adm inistrator, said that influenza,
which may strike Oregon this winter
and spring, increases the risk o f
pneumonia and death among the ill
and elderly. She pointed out that
modern Hu vaccines are up 80 per­
cent effective in preventing the types
o f flu for which they are formulated.
This year's flu vaccine is fo r ­
mulated to prevent three types which
might affect the United States and
other countries-A Brazil (a slightly
altered strain from last season's
A Russian), A Texas and B/Hong
Kong.
Due to a federal grant this year,
the Health Division has an ample
supply o f llu vaccine, which is being
d istributed to local health depar­
tments, nursing homes and senior
citizen centers.
“ There is no reason for the ill or
elderly not to be protected by flu
vaccine," Mrs. Gebbie said. “ Flu
immunizations are available through
fam ily physicians and local health
departments.”
As the flu season approaches, no
major outbreaks have been reported
vet in the United States, hut some
cases and small outbreaks did occur
last spring and late summer Six
cases of B Hong Kong flu were iden
tified in Oregon between April and
July o f this year.
