Bachelor in Central Oregon drew several ski-minded Portlanders to the Inn at the Seventh Mountain this past weekend. The young Portlanders had made up their own spontaneous ski plan to weekend on the C entury Drive but found their small part coincided with a much larger and well planned party o f a vacationing group o f 30 or 40 skiers from C a lifo rn ia and Washington state. In the Portland contingent were Evelyn and Foley Gordon, Linda and Frank Metellus, Robin and Glenn Weatherspoon, Russel John son, Jeanine Tiebout, George Davis and Joe James. The out-of-state skiers were hosted by the Four Seasons North west, a Seattle-based ski club headed by Bevcrely Johnson o f Tacoma. Noell Holley is their vice- president o f Outreach. Four Seasons Northwest is just one o f several ski clubs in the farwest. There are none in Oregon, but the Camellia C ity Ski Club is o f Sacramento, the Ski Ambassadors come from Colorado Springs, the Ujama Ski club is out of Compton, California and home base for Win ter Fox Ski Association in Los Angeles, as well as for Four Seasons West. A ll Seasons Ski Club, Inc., draws members from San francisco- Oakland Bay area. There may be others in the Far West but all those named are a ffilia te d w ith many others in the Midwest and eastern states united under the banner o f the N ational Brotherhood o f Skiers, Inc., o f Chicago. Gus Pannell is president of the national. Each year the NBS presents a Black Summit gathering and Black Summit 81 was held earlier their year at Steamboar Srpings, Colorado. Principal goal of eighty-years old a ffilia tio n is “ to promote winter sports w ithin the com m unity” ac cording to Pannell. Further, the aims are to support and guide youth as “ Olympic potentials or Olympic hopefuls.” Fund raising events are given for race skill development in a “ friendly, relaxed environment.” Nearly 2,000 folks attended Black Summit 81. Many o f the clubs offer a number o f activities for their members. A ll Seasons Ski Club sponsors skiing, an annual tennis tournament, golf, m iniature car racing, canoeing, hang gliding, water ra ftin g , back packing, water skiing, theatre groups, dances, roller skating, bike trip s, to name a few o f their in terests. Membership in most o f the clubs seem to be fairly open if one has the price and a sincere wish to par ticipate in friendly sports. Four Seasons Northwest closed their winter holiday at Mt. Bachelor with a disco dance and invited the Portlanders to their festivities at the Sun River Lodge. Next day the Portland group rode horseback in the snow-packed bridle paths along the Deschutes River. Lets see now. What would be a good name for a Portland ski club? • Hawaii Rai beckoned to Carmen and Wilson Walker and away they went to check on a new con dominium they have acquired there. A handy spring vacation supplied the time frame. Mercedes and Carl Deiz and their daughter Karen Bell flew down to San Francisco tor a pleasant week end o f visiting with Bill Deiz. Congratulations are in order for the admirable professionalism o f Commissioner Charles Jordan during these tryin g days. We are proud o f you, Commissioner. Congratulations also to our own Herb Cawthorne for a courageous, uphill fight to retain his place on the Portland School Board. Each o f us casting our one im portant vote in his favor helped to secure intelligent leadership again for the beleagured board. • Tickets are going briskly fo r the Ebony Fashion Fair to be staged again at the C ivic a u ditorium on A p ril 24. Jacqueline Brown is co- chairing this year’ s fashion event w ith Alda Ruth M onroe. Ticket sales are under the watchful eye o f Jeanne H artzog, w ith Yvonne W illiam s coordinating the seating arrangements. The informative programs, which many people keep in their memorabilia, are being assembled by M ildred Reynolds and Lydia Roy. E xciting and valuable door prizes, always a highly anticipated part o f the Ebony Fashion Fair when the Links, Inc., present it, are in the “ gathering stage” according to one o f the best known women (bar none) in P ortland, Geneva Jones. Directing hostess affairs are Links Bernadette Plummer and Fannie Chatman. Clementyne Guy is president o f the local chapter o f the Links and Take a weekend or so ago in Seattle as an example. My favorite lady and I journeyed north to the Queen city to see and hear Esther P hillips who was appearing at a place called Michael J’ s. It has been just about 30 years since I had heard her sing. That was here in Portland at an old club at the West end o f the Steel Bridge called the De Lisa. I was a kid washing dishes on a Union Pacific dining car during the summer and one o f the crew's waiters, Jasper Grant, a real man about town asked me to go with him. I could hardly wait. I don’t know what excited me the most, looking forward to hearing "L ittle Esther” or being with Jasper who knew lots o f women. Either way I knew I was in for a good time. Maybe some of Jasper’ s magic would rub o ff on me, and if I was kool I just might get lucky and have one o f those “ older” women Jasper knew give me a break. I don’t really remember how that part turned out, but I do remember falling in love with Esther’ s talent and the Johnny Otis Band. So, we make a bee line for Seattle and stop by M ichael J ’ s to buy tickets for the late show, set to begin at 11:30 that night. The fact the tickets cost $10.00 each d id n ’ t bother me too much after all I was going to see and hear Esther Now here is where the heavy price we had to pay just to hear our kind o f music comes in. i y Hours: 8-5 Monday Saturday mastercharge w i l l G iv e Y o u A ll t h e C R E D IT Y o u N e e d f A ll t h e D e n tis tr y NOINTEREST - or Carrying Charges O N A P P R O V A L O r C R E D IT PRICES QUOTED in A d v a n ce * J T R E E E s t im a t e s Easy BUDGET T e rm s— All DENTAL No Bank or Finance Co.

Lester supplied a nice moderate bottom to the whole set, perhaps not playing as lo udly as he sometimes does around town. I wasn’ t familiar with Spencer but he is a mature electric piano player who plays with much creativity and excitement. It was an excellent performance and the mostly young Black crowd loved it.

We ended up three quarters o f the way back and sat and sat and sat some more. F inally about 12:30 the show started. I heard Esther before I ac tually could see her and it was quite a thrill. Now, I wear bifocals and I only mention that because she was so far away that I had to tilt my head back to see her at all. But when I did that the bottom part o f my biofocals came into use and they are designed for close up seeing, thus a blur. I f I looked through the top part, another blur. But there’ s nothing wrong with my ears and Esther was dynamite espcially on ” What A Difference A Day M akes" and an old Dinah Washington tune which is still heavy to this day.

The G overnor’s Commission on Black ' A ffa irs needs your cooperation. Letters w ith petitions enclosed now in the hands o f many concerned citizens o f Oregon, were issued over the signature o f Pearl Spears-Gray, C hairperson o f the Commission on Black Affairs. In her letter Spears-Gray states: “ As you know, G overnor V ic to r Atiyeh has, by Executive Order EO-80-18, established a Governor’ s Commission on Black A ffa irs.” “ The Com m ission has the responsibility o f monitoring existing programs and laws in the areas o f education, employment, economic development, health and law as they impact upon the Black population o f Oregon. "T he Commission is also respon sible fo r the identificatio n and re searching o f problem areas and issues o f Blacks, and to recommend actions to the Governor, including legislation. “ The Commission is to maintain laison between the Black com m unity and governm ent entities, w ith special emphasis on en couraging Black representation on state boards and commissions.” Gray singles out b ills presently before the House and Senate in Salem affecting the operation o f the new Commission. “ House B ill 2041,“ continues Gray, “ is being considered by the Ways and Means Committee. This b ill establishes a C om m ission on Black A ffa irs to im plem ent the above responsibilities. “ Senate Bill 5559, which sets up the Budget fo r the Commission, is also being considered by Ways and Means. The proposed budget is very modest, but w ithout it, the Com mission would be severely limited in carrying out the mandates o f its charter.” Safeway Franks NOW SAVE -S.Ï- . ‘ 22‘ • V ----- . ‘ 5M ’4’' - ..»2” •1“ ar . ’4« ‘40* -J5- . ’ 3'‘ •2“ •1” 50* 90* 18* 20* 20* 16* I (Beet 12-oz 90*) ' (Juality Wieners S cotch Buy S liced B ologna *1 2’ S m o k e -A -R o m a Sausage C hunk Beef T h ü rin g e r s? . ‘ 19’ .* 3 M Every Ticket Can W in *In S a fe w a y 's SAFEW AY insGant Grocery o 71 FRESH TENDER 89e • 12-02 Phg b ,^ â g m S-Brands Stock-Up Continues! f Asparagul No 1 Asparagus Farm Fresh Delicate Spears F re sh W h ite C a u liflo w e r 59‘ 3 ’.59‘ . 69‘ 2 .79' R a d is h e s o r G reen O n io n s C ris p N o 1 C a rro ts San J u a n P u re J u ic e S fA Î » A D f f f TO W N HO U S t W H tA T O B W H IT t BLOSSOM TIMS Chunk Light Tuna Red Kidney Beans Ovenjoy Bread Cottage Cheese 78< 39* ?99* 63* Red Delicious Sweet Apples Navel Oranges ô .3 9 ‘ 9 -Easter Lilies 5?1 iV Palms 6 inch 0*118 Pums 4 or 5 Btocm Ann ftory Dernroed ' ' - HeltJ Pjlm.. $. 4 4M 9 $4 9# SAFEWAY COUPON » .
