The messages were beamed to the students from many sources in the general community in various ways through the coordinating efforts of Vernon Chatman. Chatman worked principally through the Urban League, through the University of Portland (his alma mater) and the Portland Public Schools. "Career Day at the Urban League" has become an expected public feature o f the fall season. Busses, dispatched to pick up re cruited students at specified gather ing points, delivered them all to the campus auditorium— Buckley Cen ter. The day started at 8:30 a.m ., when students listened attentively to a motivational talk by Portland School Board member Herb Caw- thorne and to other speakers on the agenda. As the day grew, students were beneficiaries o f attention from over 40 different participating companies and organizations o f this area. Banks sent representatives; engin eering firms, super market corpora tions, high-technology firms were listed as volunteer contributors to one activity or other o f the sche duled events. Many of these organi zations have been actively support ive o f U .L . "career days" during the 10 years it has been produced by Vern Chatman. This year they ar ranged 10 workshops, a fob Fair, and provided a free lunch for the teen agers. Chatman estimates that 3,000 young people have been guests of these events since they began. A jazz combo from Jefferson High School signaled a lighter touch for the closing o f the day when ev eryone assembled for the exciting drawing of two $400 scholarships. The drawing was conducted by Donny Adair, chair-elect of the U .L . board of directors. According to Adair, the scholarships have no restrictions as for grade point, etc. " T h e money is to be administered for the winners by the college after the students are enrolled in the college o f their choice,” Adair said. Arlene Anchetta o f Portland Comm unity College pulled two names from the hat and winners were announced as: H oi Tu Nguyen o f Grant High School and Joy Dempsey of Jefferson High School. T Facility.

Agency shelves came perilously dose to being bare in April of 1983. "O u r agency." says Sanders, “ is staffed with volunteer help. Volun teers distribute food for us, they help us assemble food into our stan dard groupings for individuals and family needs. They also help unload food into our storage. Some o f our volunteers can give us only an hour or two each nonth, or the use o f their car or van for a few hours once a week or once a month, but we are pleased to have this interest. "T h e congregation of churches in this area supply us with the major portion o f our food. Many o f these churches keep a barrel ready to re ceive food donations whenever someone has an extra can o f food to give." Some o f the churches listed in Sanders' EFP publications (printing and tvping donated) give on a regu lar basis. The Fremont United Methodist Church congregation brings one bag o f food to EFP each week. Bethany Lutheran Church brought EFP a certain type o f food for fo o d ," says Sanders, "are to go directly to the Urban League O ffice on Union Avenue or to the N o rth east Neighborhood O ffice at 4815 N .E .

JR --------------------------- mortician - Preselecting A Funeral Home There are a number o f im port ant advantages to choosing a fun eral home in advance of death. To begin with, it will enable you to find the one that best suits your needs. As with most other profes sions, there is a whole range to choose from . W ith a little effort on your part, you can surely find a mortuary that will offer the a r rangements you want, at what you feel is a fair price. Having pre-selected a mortuary can be especially helpful if you or a loved one dies away from home. T h » v r a n h r In m a k e arrangements with a mortuary where the death took place. I f the place was another country, this is doubly true. A U .S. embassy or consulate abroad M U S T have the name o f a mortuary in the home city in order to ship the body. Having named one will save the survivors from having to investigate and decide upon a mortuary under pressure of baste and grief.
