i i O H A R IN G IS caring"—
kJ "W e care” — " W e are
pari o f Ihe so lutio n"— these were
the messages brought to nearly Î0 0
students o f Portland high schools
who gathered recently on the cam
pus o f the University of Portland.
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.

year and has not yet experienced a
full winter.
Audrey Sanders worries about the
winter ahead for she sees hungry
people every day— even in the spring
and summer. 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

needing help to exchange for a box

Sanders is no stranger to commu
nity work. She was a program di
rector for seven years o f a Northeast
Ecumenical Parish, the M allory A v

sponsors of an after-school program
for children between the ages of
four and twelve. Sanders taught the
youngsters how to express their own

neighborhood by interesting them in

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.
