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).

Did you know that dental research indicates that adults lose more teeth
to gum (peridontal) disease than they do to tooth decay? 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 . . . Keep
