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.

o f people are involved, there should
be no calendar restriction.
"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."
