It was practically a family affair except that there was an overflow crowd of friends and well-wishers from the community on hand when, in a two-day event, the congregation of St. Andrews Community Church took their new young minister to their hearts. Starting with a "fa m ily ” dinner for 175 people in the recreation rooms of the church on Saturday evening, the celebration on the Sab bath moved upstairs to the sanctu ary for the Sunday services conse crating the Rev. Louis Osborne Jr. as minister of St. Andrews. At the Saturday fund-raiser event all guests were seated at tables set at tractively for eight persons with a host or hostess presiding. Invocation, given by the Rev. John Garlington of Maranatha Church, was followed by a song, "A m azing G race," sung by John Frazier. James Crolley acted as Master of Ceremonies. Nile Pauli, Portland area H U D manager, brought greetings. The "Young Os borne Singers," Danny, Yolanda and Joy, were joined by their mother, Gwen Osborne, in a song or two. James Crolley introduced Tim Lawrence, another soloist, pinned a corsage of roses on Louise Cambric, music director for the church, and then invited all the Osbornes to stand. Osbornes rose to their feet in all corners of the room. From then on it was pure Osborne family enter tainment for this was a Roast with Louis Osborne Jr. the subject. Mrs. Ruth Osborne, mother of the Rev. Louis Osborne Jr. (and his 12 brothers and sisters), came from California as a surprise guest. Mod erator for the Roast was a brother, Danny. In turn, Macky, Danny and Arnold took brotherly jabs at the guest pf honor who withstood it all with good grace. On Sunday, in the presence of over 300 persons the Rev. Louis Os borne Jr. was installed as St. A n drews’ minister by the Rev. Ned Luther of the Conference o f the United Church of Christ. Participating in the impressive ceremonies was the Rev. Louis Os borne Sr., minister of Faith Tab ernacle. He is father of the new min ister. Also taking part in the celebration were the Rev. Donald Severson; the Rev. B. Devers of New Hope Bap tist Church; the Rev. Dorsey of Highland United Church of Christ; the Rev. Edgar Luther of Hillsboro. Lay persons having a role in the day’s event were Chris Kelson for the youth of the church and Frances Williams representing the adult con gregation. James Crolley again act ed as moderator. Guest choirs came from New Hope Baptist Church and from Faith Tabernacle Church. A smoker at the residence of W il son Walker arranged for last Satur day evening by members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., served to revitalize this society in Portland. The local chapter. Epsilon Zeta Lambda, was first established in 1950. Active all during the ’50s, the fra ternity became involved in the '60s with the Civil Rights struggle and members worked principally through the NAACP and the Urban League. * . * * \ JOE B O W M A N The slate of officers elected at the first meeting includes: Joseph Bow man, president; George Hendrix, vice president; H arry W ard, trea surer; James Davis, secretary; Dr. Clarence Pruitt, sergeant-at-arms; Shelby Golden, editor of the Sphinx; Galven Irvy, Chaplain; Robert Shaw, historian; Willis W il liams, Membership Chairman. According to James Davis, secre tary, the local chapter will be con cerned with the plight of Black youths in high schools. Work with some of them fits in as one o f the five components of the program the Alphas have chosen for long-range plans. Rated as the "number one’’ com ponent, says Davis, is the Alpha in tention to "encourage Blacks in business to help Blacks to become producers as well as consumers." Next will be an Alpha youth de velopment program which is expect ed to include a "Leadership Devel opment Institute"; youth motiva tion and recognition; career guid ance coupled with job fairs and sim ilar events. Alphas plan also to "build oppor tunities to secure a proclamation recognizing the birthday of Martin Luther King as a national holiday. They will campaign to extend the Voters Rights Act and they expect to support the evolving issues of self- sufficiency, self development, per sonal success, and to press for "prosperity for those traditionally oppressed or poor." « \ • BEFORE WOMEN AND MEN ALL PHASES OF COSMETOLOGY ALL TYPES OF PERMS & CURLS HAIR WEEVING & REPLACEMENT MANICURES & PEDICURES -O n th e and Broad wai 1634 N.E. 7th Ave
