Katz Campaign Opens
New Office
United Way Reaches 56
Percent of Goal
Portland mayoral candidate Vera
Katz has opened a campaign office on
NW Second and Couch in the city’s
Historic O ld Town district.
The m ove was made after weeks o f
working out of limited space in K atz’s
home. “ W hen Vera cam e home one
evening and saw her lawn furniture in
the middle o f the living room with new
com puter equipm ent all over it, she
decided it was time we m oved o u t,”
said Sam Adams, K atz’s Campaign
Manager.
Adams said the new location near
downtown, the transit mall, and light
rail is ideal because it’s centrally lo­
cated for cam paign staff and volunteers
who live all over the city. It is the first
o f several offices across the city that
Katz plans to open during the course of
the campaign.
The new street address for Friends
o f Vera Katz is 66 NW Second Ave.
The cam paign phone num ber is 228-
1056, and the FAX num ber is 241-
9325. The campaign mailing address is
PO Box 3771, Portland, OR, 97208-
A fter nine weeks o f raising funds
for local human services, United Way
o f the Colum bia-W illam ette has se­
cured more than $11,530,000, C am ­
paign Chairm an Robert L. Ridgley has
announced.
The am ount represents 56 percent
of United W ay’s $20.5 m illion goal for
this year, said Ridgley, president/CEO,
Northwest N atural Gas Company. He
made the announcem ent at the Red
Lion Hotel/Lloyd Center during the
last public luncheon before the final
stretch o f Cam paign ’91.
“ There are only five weeks left (of
the cam paign) and we have a heck of a
job ahead,” said Ridgley. “ I’m not
going to be content unless we blow
right through that $20.5 m illion goal.”
The final totals for Cam paign ’91
will be announced at the Finale Dinner,
December 10, at the Portland Hilton.
United W ay o f the Columbia-W il-
lamette raises and distributes funds to
nearly 200 agency program s in Clacka­
mas, Multnomah and Washington coun­
ties in Oregon and Clark County in
W ashington.

Chairman Visits
Military Bases In
Germany
A rthur A. Fletcher, Chairman of
the U.S. Com m ission on Civil Rights,
has called for an investigation into what
he described as pervasive race discrimi­
nation against black service personnel
and civilian employees in the arm ed
forces. Chairman Fletcher returned in
August 1991 from an NAACP-spon-
sored tour o f six U.S. Arm y and Air
Force bases in Germany “ with a thick
stack o f docum ents’ ’ alleging discrim i­
nation in areas ranging from job evalu­
ations to the selection o f cheerleaders
at high schools for U.S. military off­
spring.
At the September 13 Commission
meeting, Fletcher briefed the other
Commissioners on his trip. The C om ­
missioners agreed that Chairman
Fletcher should write to Defense Secre­
tary D ick Cheney and request a m eet­
ing to discuss the situation.
F letcher’s charges run counter to
widespread press reports that the U.S.
military is relatively free from the ra­
cial tensions that divide the rest of
American society. Air Force L l Col.
Doug Hart, a Pentagon spokesman, said
that “ discrimination just isn’t allowed”
in the U.S. military, but that the allega­
tions would be thoroughly investigated.
Before his tour, Fletcher said, “ The
dramatic growth in N A A CP’s Euro­
pean chapters and membership is linked
to what people tell me is an alarming
rise in discrim ination complaints by
U.S. military personnel. I’m taking this
opportunity to find out for m yself what
is going o n .”

Home Alone
The National Safety Council re­
minds you to be sure to give easy-to-
overlook areas, such as your neck, nose
and toes, extra protection from the cold
this winter.
The head and neck areas lose heat
more rapidly than any other part o f the
body. A turtleneck sweater or a scarf
will keep your neck warm. W ear a
wool hat and cover your face with a
scarf or knit ski mask to protect your
checks, ears and nose from frostbite.
M ittens provide the best protec­
tion for your hands because gloves expose
more surface area to the cold. For ac­
tivities requiring the use o f your fin­
gers, w ear gloves under a pair o f m it­
tens.
W ool socks and w aterproof boots
will keep feet warm and dry. If you
wear an extra pair o f socks, be sure they
fit loosely, so layers of warm air can
circulate.
The growing num ber o f single
parents and two-income fam ilies has
resulted in more children spending time
home alone. The National Safety C oun­
cil suggests establishing safety guide­
lines to help make all m em bers o f your
family feel more secure.
Children should be instructed never
to open the door to strangers or to tell an
unidentified caller that they are at home
alone.
Take time to post im portant tele­
phone numbers next to each phone,
including your workplace number. Make
sure the child knows how to dial “ 9 1 1 ”
or the operator in case o f emergency.
They should be able to give their name,
address and telephone number.
Have family fire drills to ensure
that everyone knows the proper escape
route. Teach older children how to use
appliances properly and encourage
younger children not to use them at all.
Keep a first aid kit handy and teach
children how to treat minor cuts, scrapes
and bums.
Slick Surfaces
Did you know that ice at 32 de­
grees Fahrenheit is more slippery that
ice at 10 degrees Fahrenheit? It’s true.
Ice at 32 degrees has a thin layer o f ice
covering it, making it prim e for slip­
ping.
The National Safety Council rec­
ommends battling slick surfaces with
shoes that have good treads or ribbed
soles for better traction. Keep feet
shoulder length apart, take short steps
or shuffle. Lean forward and always
put each foot down flat.
