Refugee home at Condon air base
By Jean Gilliam
Condon correspondent
The first two couples who
will have moved into the old
Condon air base this month
will be taking a crash course
in Portland in learning the
language and culture of the
Hmong people.
These are the Asian refu
gees who will find a haven at
Condon under auspices of the
East Hill Four-Square Gospel
Church and Ministries Unlimi
ted. The refugees are to
receive training at the base
for new lives in America.
The first church volunteers
to move in were Bud and
Margaret Buse, who said the
Lord touched them and told
them they were going to
Condon. The East Hill Church
had put money in escrow Oct.
5 to purchase the base and the
church members were told
about the plans to help the
refugees during the church
service the following Sunday.
During the service, Buse
said, he felt the call but it
wasn't until the conclusion of
the service that his wife
turned to him and said,
"We're going to Condon."
"An hour before the service
there would have been no way
I could have made Margaret
move to Condon." Buse said.
They moved in to their new
quarters at Condon on Dec. 8.
the day after the church took
charge )f the property.
The Buses had made their
home in Portland for a
number of years, while he has
worked in road construction.
Eastern Oregon is not unfami
liar to him as he has lived in
Arlington, Baker and Red
mond while working on roads
in those areas. Except for
short visits with her husband
while he was away on con
struction jobs, Mrs. Buse has
never lived on the east side of
the mountains.
Although Buse was ten
years from retirement age, he
had no qualms about giving up
his job to help the refugees.
Mrs. Buse also had to give up
her job at the McLean Clinic in
Oregon City. Each gave one
month's notice to their respec
tive employers.
The next month was spent in
making preparations for their
move to Condon, where he is
responsible for repairing and
maintenance for everything
on the base and in the housing
area and reactiviating the
base to get it operational
again to fit the needs of the
training program.
When friends and farnily
learned the Buses were giving
up everything to move to
Condon, "they were con
cerned about our future secur
ity, but it was the least of our
concerns, and they were all
supportive of our move." Mrs.
Buse said. "We have found
and know that God will take
care of all our needs."
They are awaiting the
arrival of John and Fran
Topaum who will be moving to
the refugee center Jan, 12.
Topaum has been working
with minority groups, such as
Indians and Mexicans, train
ing them and placing them in
jobs. Like Buse, Topaum is
taking early retirement.
The Buses emphasized that
the refugee training program
is being done without using
taxpayers' money. Any sup
port for this program is
coming from the church and
people who have donated to
the project. "In fact, this will
bring money and taxes into
the community," Buse said.
The refugees coming to
Condon are the Hmong people,
(pronounced 'mong'). The
Buses and other who will be
working with the Hmongs are
to take training this month.
Although neither he nor his
wife has worked with refu
gees, Buse does not believe it
will be too difficult as "I think
the experience I had while
working in India and Chine
while, building the Burma
Road will benefit me, as the
Ka-Chins are counterparts of
the Hmongs. They are both
hill people who live the same
life style."
Hmongs interested in learn
ing maintenance work will be
taught by Buse and hopefully
some can become licensed in
their respective areas.
The Caucasian women liv
ing at the base will teach the
Hmong women how to operate
electric ranges and other
electrical appliances.
"We will have school in
operation by spring, but we
first have to get our feet wet
and get acquainted and get
accustomed to their customs
so we can work with them;"
Buse emphasized.
"By the time the refugees
arrive, we will have houses
completely furnished for
them, even the food." Buse
said.
Still needed, however, are
large appliances in good
working condition. Because of
lack of people to repair
appliances, they do need to be
in working order. Those is also
a need for more clothing.
Because the Hmongs are
small in statipv. small and
medium sizes are needed in
men and women's clothing,
particularly winter clothing.
There is also a need for
children's clothing.
Anyone who might have
clothes, furniture, appliances
or anything they wish to
donate, is asked to call Don
Nicholson, coordinator and
administrator of the project,
at East Hill Four-Square
Gospel Church. Gresham.
