Program aids 'displaced homemakers'
by H arris Levon McRae
“ I see you’ re married, kept house
fo r 26 years and raised fo u r c h il­
dren, b u t when was the last tim e
you really worked?”
A cartoon with the above caption
hung on Bernadine G ilp in ’ s w a ll
and it is a good indication o f how
many o f us view housework and the
people who do it.
Ms. G ilp in is the co o rdinato r o f
the D isplaced H om em akers p ro ­
gram at Portland C om m unity C o l­
lege’ s Cascade campus. She defines
displaced homemakers as persons
who had been in the home for a num­
ber o f years depending on a partner
fo r th e ir fin a n c ia l base. N ow , be­
cause o f death, divorce, separation
or disablement o f the partner, they
must go out and seek work.
“ A person who comes out o f the
home a fte r a num ber o f years and
has not received a paycheck fo r the
w ork she’ s done, feels very scared
and unsure o f her jo b skills. M any
have never had a paying jo b . We
here at Displaced Homemakers like
to take the things that people lik e
doing around the house— whether
they are a terrific cook, interior dec­
o ra to r, whatever— and show them
how it transfers to certain jo b s in
the jo b m arket.”
D isplaced H om em akers is the
only hom em aker program in O re­
gon still in existence.
“ This is really a worthw hile pro­
gram so we have continued w ith no
funds. We do what we can. We have
a job hunt club, jo b placement, and
a C areer C lothes C loset. The
Clothes Closet was started to help
people who need clothes fo r a jo b
interview. Anyone that doesn’t have
appropriate attire fo r jo b hunting is
welcom e to w hatever is in the
Clothes Closet,” Ms. G ilpin said.
Displaced Homemakers is having
a special w orkshop A p ril 12-16 to
deal w ith grief and loss o f a mate,
assertiveness training, and transfer­
ring their life skills to the jo b m ar­
ket.
Ms. G ilpin adds: " I t may be that
after July 1st there w on’ t be a pro­
gram . I hope th a t the people who
have been helped w ill be a chain for
people who need it. Homemakers
for the most part are survivors and I
have great faith in their potential.”

There are four basic or fundamental needs rhythms that must be met in order
to ward o ff severe frustrations and aggressive behavior among all living beings,
and particular human beings. When these needs rhythms arc met individuals
immediately fall into a ‘ ‘COMFORT STATE.” These basic needs rhythms are:
Professional
Preference Curl

(1)
WATER AN D FOOD
(2)
COMPANIONSHIP A N D SOCIAL SETS (BELONGING)
French Curl
(3)
SEX A N D REPRODUCTION
(4)
MONEY AN D /O R PHYSICAL PROPERTY
35°°
Knowing and understanding these four basic needs rhythms or cycles are
helpful in controlling “ AGGRESSIVE B E H A V IO R ” and the “ COMFORT
ZONE” neither o f which are necessarily good nor bad. Aggressive behavior is
simply at the top o f the needs rhythm curve; and the comfort zone is at the bot­
tom o f the needs rhythm curve.
Knowing and understanding needs rhythms or cycles are in part what Q U A­
DRIPARTITE M E N TA L - FITNESS IS A L L ABOUT.
