Youthsound demonstrates talent
On the anniversary of the very
original Timesound concert at the
Civic Auditorium, on May 2nd, the
city will vibrate with the sequel—
Youthsound, which promises to be
gin an enduring tradition.
For the fourth time since 1978,
Ken Berry and Michael Grice have
carefully prepared a major Spring
production. In 1978 they produced
the oral history program “ From the
Pulpit, from the People,” focusing
on the life of Dr. M artin Luther
King, Jr. In 1979 a similar program
on the life and times of Dr. W .E.B.
DuBoise was completed and pro
duced. Both these productions were
undergirded by the talents and en
ergy o f Herb Cawthornc and
launched what is certain to be a
bright future for Herb Cawthorne’s
Oral History projects.

Light Com pany, the earliest predecessor

granted a perpetual franchise by Oregon's last
territorial legislature. Five weeks later,
Oregon was adm itted in to the union as the
nation’s 33rd state. P ortland’s population
numbered only 2,874 and settlers were still
coming west along the Oregon T ra il in
covered wagons.
The first gas was produced by carbonizing
coal brought from Vancouver Island, B.C .,
and later from A ustralia and Japan as ballast
in windjammers. The coal was unloaded at
the com pany’s dock on the W illam ette, then
trundled by handcart to six retorts on
Flanders Street where the gas was produced.
By June, 1860, the first gas lights were
