Here's our point — if you can fit our program into yours, you would be assisting in promoting a very worthwhile community effort, the Portland Fire Bureau Toy and Joymakers, a Portland tradition for 73 years. This year, as in the past, we will be distributing some 100,000 toys to approximately 30,000 needy children. This can only be done with the aid of the community supplying our needs in the form of new or very repair able toys and/or cash donations. (It's all tax deductible.) If you can assist us in any way as part of your programming, please call (248-0203) and we will respond with our sirens screaming.

'-.‘ y The Rose City's most visible rapp band has been increasing their fol lowing playing to mostly White audiences by popular demand. The Satyri- con, The Wavehouse Club in Vancouver, B.C., and Reed College have been the locations of the Untouchable Krew's last three appearances. Says leader Larry Bell, "A t first we (The Krew) were surprised, but I guess if you look at Billboard Magazine and realize people are people, you can really see the growth and demand for the kind of music we play After Storefront Theatre presents a nice and well-deserved kick in the butt to the waning Reagan administration for everything from Grenada to Dork (I mean Bork). Those of us in the lower income brackets may find this one a little hard to laugh at, especially if you've experienced some of the humil- liations from our puppet president's empty but well-delivered statements.
