Multnomah County Legal Aid Service will be celebrating fifty (50) years of legal services to the poor on Friday, June 12, 6:30 p.m., at the Melody Lane Ballroom, 615 S.E. Alder. The first legal aid office formally opened its doors on February 15, 1936, under the sponsorship of the Multnomah County Bar Association. A number of lawyers, including the late Judge Gus Solomon, helped to organize the efforts to establish legal services to the poor in Oregon. The dinner committee for the anniversary celebration includes Governor Goldschmidt, Senator Hatfield, Representatives AuCoin and Wyden, and a number of state senators, representatives and bar leaders. The anniversary dinner will be attended by former staff members and private attorneys who have contributed to the success of legal aid over the past fifty years. It will be an opportunity to review the accomplishments of Multnomah County Legal Aid, which has been recognized as one of the best legal aid programs in the country.

Sponsored by the American Jew ish Committee, Rabbi Yosefe Ha- dane was in Portland recently to discuss life among African (Ethio pian! Jews now living in Israel. The thirty-seven (37) year old Rabbi is on a nationwide speaking tour and at Congregation Neveh Shalom in Southwest Portland, Rabbi Ha- dane talked about Ethiopian Jewry and current events among the approximately 16,000 Ethiopians liv ing in Israel. Spiritually led by Rabbi Hadane, the Ethiopians that are now Israeli citizens, and the remaining Ethio pian Jews (not let by Rabbi Ha dane) residing in Africa have been adhering to the tenets of Judaism for thousands of years. Addition ally, Ethiopian Jews living outside of Israel, it is anticipated, will event ually arrive in the City of Jerusalem, which is considered a "holy" place. A fairly comprehensive discussion in a short period of time, the Rabbi shared the following highlights: • There is a great deal of concern related to the separation of families. Many Ethiopians in Israel have fam ily members in Ethiopia that they sadly miss. • Ethiopian Jews that have re mained in Ethiopia are not being mistreated by the Ethiopian govern ment. • Ethiopians in Israel are going through stages of "culture shock" and were surprised to learn that some Jews do not strictly follow the teachings of Judaism. • It is believed the best way for Ethiopians to function is to become fully integrated into Israel's society. • There appears to be no racism from Rabbi Hadane's point of view. • After his formal presentation, Rabbi Hadane conversed in Hebrew with one of the community's Black youth, who is 15 years old and living in Northeast Portland. • Contrary to some thinking that Ethiopians are concentrated in a specific area of Israel, they are fairly well disbursed throughout the coun try. • There is a need to train and broadcast morrwiQ ’(JUD A M '»tabun KAAR 14BUAM LM %, 24 hr Emergency Service The American Baptist Convention, American Baptist Churches of Oregon: Lott Carey Foreign Mission Convention: National, Oregon, Portland Ecumenical Ministries, American Bible Society, M .& M .
