Band Director Evelyn M . Crews said the grant represents musical life-blood for one year. "W e can keep a portion of our base alive.” : The infusion of capital will be tar- getted towards new instruments and a musical computer clinic. The Jazmin marches to the south ern marching band style. Their stride is quicker and they use a “ high step’’— lifting their thighs higher. This 40-picce marching band has brought a fresh, new beat to Port land. Crews said she has even seen some of their ideas pop up in some of the more conventional settings throughout the city In 1981 the Jaimin Community Marching Band was just a desire, when the gap in musical education became intolerable. Crews said, "W e got out and proved everything by doing. W'e won awards and provided an outlet for the time and talent of youth in our community. "W e will produce a ’someone’ who will make a name for himself. Why, we plan to produce several ‘somcones.’ ” Crews also credited the Jazmin with creating a community-based music program that is open to all. The bulk of their support has come from businesses and private donations. But the Jazmin has yet to see support from Portland’s tradi tional arts and music communities. She attributes their apathy as being inflexible. “ This is a basic kind of a city. Some people are not going to change. With them you just have to press harder.” At any given moment in the com munity, a member of the Jazmin Community Marching Band can be seen riding his tuba on his bike, practicing a step while walking down the street, or running on the back of a city bus. Crews said among the positive changes the Jazmin has brought to the city is the influence the band has had on its members. "They have become more thoughtful. We have enhanced their relationship to one another and are creating decent human beings." The Fred Meyer's grant is just the beginning of a series of fund-raising experiences that the band needs to go through just to keep stepping. Crews said the future may hold a Jazmin Community Marching Band building. She expects the band members to sell tickets and engage in other fundraising events. “ When we approach you, please support us.” But for now. Fred Myers has helped strike up the hand and they will be stepping high this spring The event, which begins with registration at 9:00a.m . in the third- floor ballroom of Smith Memorial t enter, is being held in cooperation with PSU faculty, staff, several mi nority student organizations, as well as the Portland Public School Dis trict and the State Migrant Educa tion Center.

Health Educator for the Mult- nomah County Health Department, speaking of its newest service to the community, an American Red Cross blood pressure screening clinic. The new clinic brings a total of seven locations in the city where Red Cross free blood pressure screening and health counseling/referral are available on a weekly basis. The program began two years ago when budget cuts forced Multnomah sure screening services, and the Red Cross developed a program to pro- vide the service free using a group of volunteer RNs. The Red Cross volunteers also use a check-back system for those pa- tients who seem to drop out of sight, The danger in having high blood pressure is that people don’t feel bad and are inclined not to be con- cerned About high blood pressure, The Red Cross volunteers work closely with Multnomah County Health to refer patients either to a private physician or to a County S o m e style s sizes a n d c o lo rs by sp ecia l o rde r only SAVE on Open Home Bedroom Fashions Sale ends Feb 15 Blood pressure test free W in d o w c o v e r in g s p e c ta c u la r Whatever your window dressing problem you re bound to lind a solution during this sale1 You II save on ready-made or made-to- measure draperies m styles colors and tex tures to meet most every taste You II save on ready-made horizontal blinds manulactured by Levolor Lorentzen Inc And. don t forget to check our wide variety of colorful curtains priscillas rutile rounds and more1 Reg $10 99 twin flat or filled solids prints $13 $19 $23 $59 $69 99 lull size sheets 99 queen size sheets 99 king size sheets 99 twin size comforter 99 lull size comforter 9251R O p e n H o m e A u to m a tic B lan ke ts Heatscreen'"* glass door firescreen Reg $119 99 Shatlerresis tant glass doors, heavy duty mesh Heatscreen 75 firescre Reg $179 99 Tempered glass doors Antique brass finish or black with antique brass 119” hAlN UMfcCK II •» our mlanl»on lo r»ava m »it* 'fam advaHnad ’ -usseyr it do nol hod an iMm a*a"At>»a p«aa»a a H j > Cf ara at avary ca*M«ar»rxj araa CX X Cu»lor*»ar barv«a SEARS PHKJNG POLICY H an dam i» nof iJav:r»bad a» tadutad or a vpat ai pu' f'as* d >s al •»$'aQiXar pr.ia A »pat - a - pure*a»a though no» »edixed >» ad aicaphonX v W um Moat W M at raducad p « a » Thr* offer at S*a»% Rata S»<xas • S a x » Waahmgion S ix a Contractor* parmd n«grrti*r SEARS SR J72NT • SALE H H « f S IN THM S fC T IO N W X L B t I F F I C T I V I T M fS f OATES U H tfS S O T M f R W ISt s e y r ir if n ev tm f i r r u ia v i , i » u , - , t m.rx.Qn s .iu - n « , r e m i n < $69 99 twin size $79 99 lull size, single control $89 99 lull size, double control $109 99 queen size $129 99 king size 41 55 65 85 95
