Portable breakfasts popular now
The practice o f carrying portable
breakfasts to work is increasingly
popular, according to recent consum­
er research.
“ M ore than 34 percent o f U.S.
households reported carrying meals
to work or school last year, and ap­
proximately 10 percent o f those meals
¡were breakfasts," said Linda Espo­
sito, market research analyst.
; "Because o f hectic lifestyles — in­
cluding morning rush hour — con­
sumers don’ t necessarily have time to
>n down for a meal. Breakfasts and
afternoon snacks have now become
com m on portable meals in addition
fo the ever-popular bag lunch,” she
said
Esposito said trends explain the
need fo r convenient, on-the-job
meals.

Gordley trip
by Nathaniel Scott
Avel Gordley is going to Africa.
She is going to A frica on a political
and cultural fact-finding mission.
A n d when she return to Portland, she
is going to bring some o f the culture
and aspirations o f the people o f M o­
zambique,
Zimbabwe,
Boswana,
Kenya. Lesotho, Swat/iland and
possibly Angola and Namibia
Gordley’ s trip is sponsored by the
American Friends Service Committee
and she will be traveling with repre­
sentatives from three other locals:
Randy Carter from Seattle, W A ;
Jerry Herman from Philadelphia, PA,
and Voe Volt, one o f the American
Friends Service Committee's nation­
wide coordinators.
Gordley said the purpose o f the
"study to u r” is to learn more about
the different governments and to
experience first hand how the people
live.
“ Through our contacts we w ill be
able to meet with various leaders.
What we w ill be trying to do is get as
clear a picture as possible o f what
is going on in those countries," she
said. "W e hope to have some meet­
ings with some o f the dignitaries in
South A frica.
Gordley has worked fo r the Am er­
ican Friends Service Committee since
1983. The committee is " a Quaker-
founded organization that works for
peace through non-violent means."
But recently she has been “ providing
staff support” for POSAF (P ort­
landers Organized for Southern A fr i­
can Freedom).
The continent o f A frica is no
stranger to Gordley. She visited West
Africa in 1971 with Operation Cross­
roads A frica, a New York C ity based
organization that provides study tours
for students and concerned citizens.
But this trip, with its main focus being
Southern A frica, presents a different
challenge.
“ I am looking forward to the trip
because it w ill provide me the oppor­
tunity to gain inform ation and valu­
able insight into what is happening in
those various countries," Gordley
said, adding. " Quite often the in­
formation we receive about other
countries is distorted."
Gordley plans to take some cloth­
ing, photographs and things o f that
nature which can be left with the
people so they will get some idea o f
Black cultural life in America Upon
my return, she said, “ I hope to put
together a slide presentation o f what I
saw during my v is it."
A very interesting idea that is in its
formation stage, is the possibility o f
forming a sister city pact with one or
more o f the cities they w ill be visit­
ing. And another one. that seems even
more interesting, is the fact that
POSAF is interested in exploring the
possibility o f establishing some kind
o f economic lies with the various
countries, Gordley said.
Gordley w ill leave Portland June 17
and expects to return some time in
August. Needless to say. the Black
community wishes her, along with
Richard Brown, who is leaving for
Nicaragua soon, Goodspeed.

“ Breakfast snacks fit into a demand­
ing schedule because they can be pre­
pared in advance and enjoyed en­
route to work or while reading the
morning newspaper at the w o rk­
station,” she said.
Homemade snacks also help pro­
vide a motivational boost, control
impulsive eating and provide n utri­
tious relief from vending machines
and fast-food menus.
