Street gangs, drug houses, prostitution and related crimes are rava ging our community. Lives are being destroyed, fear has replaced hope. A question I keep hearing is, "W hat are the churches doing about it?" Some church members have said, "W hat can the churches do?" Between us, the churches of North/Northeast Portland, we can find an answer to both these questions. There are a number of groups and organizations looking for answers. If the churches could join with them, we would have a greater impact and do a tremendous service to our communities. First of all, we need to have a more complete understanding of the problem and possible solutions. The Board of Mallory Avenue Christian Church is calling a meeting of the churches in our area. We are mailing this notice to 82 churches. Think of the power in such a combined effort! The meeting will be Saturday, November 7, 1987, from 10:00 a.m. until nooh. The meeting is for both clergy and lay members. Talk about it with your congregation. Plan to attend and join the effort to salvage lives of our youth and to restore the hopes for a livable community. For m ore in fo rm a tio n , call Robert E. Nelson, Chair, M allory Ave. Christian Church, 288-5173 (church), 287-4050 (home) or 283-1900 (w ork).

It's true. And because the symptoms are sometimes subtle, regular checkups by your dentist are a must so that he or she can check for early symptoms. Should the disease be in an advanced stage, your dentist may refer you to a spec ialist in gum problems, called a "peridontist". A mild form of gum disease is called "gingivitis” . The advanced stage, called "pariodontitis", may start without pain or other symptoms, while it is quietly destroying the bones and tissues that hold your teeth in place. Here Is how it all begins: Plaque, that colorless substance that forms on your teeth is full of bacteria. That bacteria can cause gum inflammation. In time, those inflamed gums pull away from the teeth, leaving pockets filled with bacteria and pus. Finally, the supporting bone erodes, leaving the teeth to loosen and need extraction. In the next issue of The Portland Observer, I will tell you what symp toms to watch for and how to prevent gum disease. Until then . . .
