¥3 Portland Observer November 8. 1979 Page 9 Obituary: Dewey Taylor Dewey Taylor died on October 30th at the age o f 59 following ex- tened illness. Taylor was bom on Oc tober 11, 1920 in St. Louis and moved to Portland twenty years ago. A m usician, T aylo r played the drums and harmonica with the Red Skelton Show, Count Basie, Duke Ellington and other name bands as well as in local night clubs. Taylor was the first advertising manager for the Portland Observer and was employed by the K irb y Companv, Coast Janitorial Service and the Portland Public Schools. S urvivors are his w ife: Ada; a son: Dewey Jr., and four daughters: M abel W oods, Pamela Brown, Thelma Taylor and Julia Taylor; and one sister, Thelma Morgan o f St. Louis. The funeral was held Monday at Caldwell’ s Colonial Mortuary with Reverend B.M.McSwain, pastor o f Philadelphia Community Missionary Baptist Church, o ffic ia tin g . A private cremation followed. T a y lo r had received kidney dialyses treatments for two years and the family suggests rememberances be co ntribu te d to the Kidney Association o f Oregon. “ I d o n ’ t th in k we need hard technology because it cost more than soft energy. The methods used to ob tain hard energy can be applied in an inexpensive way as to obtain soft energy,” he said. “ Those things like cheap solar cells would be convenient but we don’ t need them. We don’ t have the electricity problem except that we have got too much o f it. We have got twice as much as we can get our money’ s worth out o f it.” He said what he is assuming for soft technology is just the present solar heating, solar process heating for industry, converting farm and forestry waste, but not special crops into liq u id fuels, to run e fficient vehicles and the present h yd ro electric capacity. “ These, used to advantage, are more than enough.” Redden was a member o f the Oregon Legislature during the 1963, 1965 and 1967 sessions and served as House Democratic Leader during his final session. The Capitol Press C or ps voted him the "M o s t Effective State Representative" in 1967. In 1972, Redden was elected to the office o f State Treasurer. He said, hard technologies involve big, com plicated bureaucracies which continue to supply different kinds o f energies to different people. As a result, he said the U.S. is facing more than energy wars between politics and the side utilities. Also he said the hard path, is in creasingly displacing huntan skills and thus p ro m o ting poverty, a lie n a tio n , and unem ploym ent. Overseas, it continues to encourage international distrust and domestic dissent, which entails fu rth e r suspicion, then repression. “ Meanwhile, with burning all sorts o f fuels, putting a lot o f carbon dioxide in the air, we are running the risk o f destabilizing cold climate, on which marginal agriculture depen ds.” In contrast to soft energy, Lovins said the philosophy o f hard energy is; the more energy there is, the bet ter o ff people are. Soft energy he said, “ considers this a failure and not a success.” S oft energy, L ovin to ld his audience, is used in a more cheaper and lesser sense. “ I suggest we start where we are by doing different things from now on, because they are cheaper. But we have to realize that it will take some time, maybe 50 years to supply all our essential needs on such a large scale,” he said. “ We need to build a bridge to buy tim e b rie fly , insparing and using costal fuels in clean ways that are adaptable, so that we can plug into soft energy as they come along.” The sharp difference between the two technologies, is p o litic a l and each o f these paths he said, entails different political problems at d if ferent times. Problems like vulnerability, cen trism and inequity are characteristics ot the hard path, while less familiar problems are faced in soft the soft path; such as getting used to the idea that a country or state this big and diverse with a problem made o f a zillion pieces, as the energy dilemma, central management, are part o f the problem , more than part o f the solution said Lovins. He cited some o f the few ways soft energy could be obtained, should the public choose it over hard energy. “ The first is to clear away long messy lists o f institutional barriers such as “ silly” rules which permit people to use as much energy as they want as a way that saves money.” Also, to split incentives and lack o f getting information. The big issue o l deciding energy policies are not at all too complex for o rd in a ry people to understand, althought they might be too simple and too political for many technical experts to understand, said Lovins in closing his speech.

"W e are just beginning to barely hit the tip o f the needs for handicap ped children. Communities have not responded fully to this type o f more visable problem. These children have been denied educational needs and isolated somewhat from our society. Children living in rural areas have also been isolated. Because o f thin ner populations scattered over wider areas, facilities are not widely ac- cessded and transporation is not all the time provided.” "T h e needs o f children in this country extend across a ll racial, economic, social and geographical backgrounds. In some urban areas, I have seen special heritage and cu ltural groups form educational facilities. These facilities o f Black Am erican Heritage have been recognized as a source to meet needs that aren’ t being met in their com munities.” One o f the m ajor stops during Jean Childs Young visit in Portland, was the Black Educational Center, located on 4919 NE 17th. Sitting in front o f 35 smiling faces, in one o f the center’ s classrooms, Mrs. Young seemed to slip right back into the teacher setting. She told the children about her visit to A fric a , in par ticu la r countries such as N igeria, South A frica and Senegal. She ex- plained the traditions and the state o f the country. When asked about the whereabouts o f M r. Young, she commented that he was in California speaking w ith groups about T hird W orld Countries and international affairs. Asked how much she enjoys her p osition, and i f there were any possibility o f furthering her political career, she said,“ I really enjoy what I ’ m doing. Sometimes I see a glim mering o f hope, when I see people taking charge and doing something to help ease the problems o f children. But I also get very discouraged. I see people who have an attitude o f indifference and un concern. They just don’t consider the needs o f people and recognize they do have a responsibility as a citizen o f this nation. We shouldn’ t be in different to a child in need at this juncture in our lives o f interdepen dence. W hat most people d on ’ t realize, i f my child is healthy, but another little child is sickly, my child w ill catch that same cold. Everything in our society is interrelated. It is in our self interest to be concerned about one another. The mood o f un concern is effecting our nation.” “ This position has been quite fu lfillin g , but I w ill not run fo r a political office. It is not my forte. But Andrew I feel, may run fo r som ething again. He is very political." Super Shopping Centers Help Lower Your Cost of Living .. .
