O. S. P. Corresponden t
WITH TONGUE CHEEK
Some might wonder why Associate
Justice o f the Oregon Supreme Court
w ould be interested in a group o f
p riso n e rs at the O regon State
Penitentiary called the Class o f Legal
Processes.
We were honored with the presence
o f Justice Thomas H. Tongue at last
Wednesday's meeting, the 28th, and
I ’m sure Justice Tongue wasn’t quite
sure ot what he was getting into either,
but I ’ m proud to say the meeting was a
complete success.
Justice Tongue expressed surprise
and enthusiasm at the versatility o f
the group and our class project. His
reserve melted as he got the “ feel” o f
the group while his presentation and
anecdotes kept the attention o f all.
We learned o f his b a c k g ro u n d
which includes having a father and
grandfather who were also attorneys,
his early legal training in Oregon and
w ith the G o ve rn m e n t d u rin g the
depression, and then in p riv a te
pratice on such cases as “ Pandora’ s
B o x" and “ Lower 13.” These were
the names o f tw o m urder cases in
w hich he was the defense counsel.
We were surprised to learn that he
was chosen as a S uprem e C o u rt
Justice by a poll o f the Oregon Bar
Association. Most Justices were judges
in the lower courts before taking a seat
in the highest court o f the state.
Justice Tongue was candid in ex­
plaining his desire to sit on the bench,
which began while in private practice
as an attorney arguing cases at the state
and federal appelate court. One o f his
main concerns over the years has been
before the Court awaiting a decision.
This was evidenced in a recent dissent­
ing opinion written by him in the case,
STATE-V-CLASSEN (1979), in which
he coined the phrase, “ justice delayed
is justice denied".

decided, ninety days, and that “ it
has alw ays been m y a m b itio n to
decide cases properly, p rom ptly, and
to w rite opinions that can be under­
stood.”
Ju stice T o n g u e spoke fo r a p ­
proxim ately one-and-one h a lf hours
and there is no way I could possibly
pass on the amount o f info rm a tio n
and wisdom our class received. I can
safely say that all o f us walked away
fro m that meeting w ith something
valuable, and that we are tru ly sorry
we d id n ’ t have more time to spend
w ith him.
Members o f the class have been
walking up to me since that meeting
and telling me how much they en­
joyed his presentation. It was kind o f
fu n n y , but m ore than one person
to ld me that Justice Tongue resem­
bled Abraham Lincoln, and while I
d o n ’ t know i f he’ ll take that as a
com plim ent o r not, there is no doubt
that he was definitely impressive, a
so ft spoken man w ith a p o w e rfu l
message.
“ T he law is a bo d y o f rules

that human rights are protected, and
order in society is m a intained."

sacrifice, because knowledge is the
key; it is that which opens all doors,
be they big or little , small or great!
Togetherness was another point so

to g e th e rn e ss, i f one can fin d

Gideon’s inability to read or write
was overcome by determination and

d o n 't know the meaning o f this o r

nothing. In fact, it creates a more
dangerous situation.
Ig n o ra n c e is n o t b liss; it 's

toward the accomplishment o f these
things.

It d id n ’ t say anything about school,
(altho school is vita lly im portant in
acquiring a good education) Why?
because we are being educated
whenever and wherever we maybe
during our awakening hours, and o f
what we learn is up to us.
B rother, the door is already there.
The lock is well secured and in place.
The only remaining factor is the key.
That iny brothers, is w ithin each o f

go in search o f knowledge. Let us ah

many o f them comment. “ I ’ d like to
do some kind o f w ork w ith people,
but I don’ t know w hat.”
The college o ffe rs nine d iffe re n t

provided a natural o p p o rtu n ity fo r
an in te rd is c ip lin a r y course fo r
people, including the older woman
looking fo r a change in lifestyle.
W ith degrees in both nursing and
medical records, M a rilyn C lark was
a natural to put together such a course.
“ Most students can’ t step right into a
health course o f study,” Clark said.
“ They need some orientation to the

The class designed by C la rk
provides the student w ith an o p p o r­
tu n ity to learn about the entrance

health areas, basic studies, the career
ladders in each p ro fe s s io n and
specific attributes that are best suited
for each profession. In each case the
students spend one session learning
about I he profession and follow ing

To those who are in tune
with the inner force of life
answers do unfold
and we listen in the night,
that blows inside the shadows
the secret part of mind
no one see's the truth of man
in these perverted times;
Somewhere in the story
one did start a game
others have distorted
the meaning and the aim.
The Brotherhood begins
when one can truly say
” 1 lay my sword with you,
right into the grave.”
From now until my death
I sing the song of man
united I do stand
with all who holds my hand;
Our lives are for the people
we hurt.. and yes, we cry,
but never will they see us
the tears have flowed on by.
Words mean very little;
the time will pass on through
the prepitory stages
then actions show how true.
It never will be easy
but games are for the few
who understands their meaning
will change their life and rule
Yet deep inside our bodies
there is a song to sing
we hear it very softly
much pleasure does it bring
One man becomes a brother

FOLLOW-THROUGH
Knowing Follow-Through Keys is Important
Here arc the F ollow -Through Keys as requested by some callers, regarding iny November
statement in the Observer. Over Ihe past m onth, I have received phone calls asking just what
are the keys to SUCCESS. H A P P IN E S S . H EA LTH , W E A LT H . M O N E Y and RESPECT.
Some o f the callers gave ine their opinion as to what they thought the keys should be.
None o l the callers seemed to understand that life is a succession or order unique to each in ­
dividual. One person's cure can be anolhers poison.
l irst o l all. Follow- thro u g h Keys are like a com bination lock, there must be an order o f
understanding before you can make it w ork. Each individual is as different as their finger­
prints in such areas as ( I ) their actual position in life , relative to others. (2) their age and sex.
(3) their personality. (4) their temperament. (5) their total performance a b ility before lear­
ning Follow -Through Keys. (6) their self inspirational and m otivational index, reflected
from past experiences.
M y Follow Through concept is based upon the simple fact that all things in life and reality
are Ihe results o l a specific succession or order; and learning how to recognize this fact is like
recognizing the correct piece o f a puzzle that fits another piece o f the same puzzle and then
putting them together u ntil the puzzle is complete and going on to Ihe next one.
W ith this m mind here are the Follow-Through Keys:
Follow-Through Keys to SUCCESS are:
Purpose and preparation: one must have a purpose, goal or objective before one can
succeed, but, before one can become successful, one must prepare.
Follow-Through Key to H A P P IN E S S is:
Positive A ttitu d e .
Follow- Through Key to H EA LTH is:
To maintain a balance between spiritual, mental and physical aspects o f your life, (as
in your purpose and preparation).
Follow-Through Key to W E A LT H is:
To acquire a product or service that others need or want and learn to manage it to the
benefit o f yo u rse lf and others under strict c o n tro l. Example (o il, tra n s p o rta tio n ,
housing, food, entertainment ect.) (as in your purpose and preparation).
Follow -Through Key to M O N E Y is:
To sell something o f value to others, more than to buy from other, (as in your purpose
and preparation).
Follow-Through Key to R E S P E C T is:
To recognize your purpose, and perform all o f your preparations tow ard your p u r­
pose w ith Honesty, T ru th and most o f all consistency, never he to yourself.
•a
Remember in order to complete anything you must Follow-Through.
