New Bill Would Provide Stiff Drug Abuse Penalties Persons Illegally distributing narcotics or hallucinogenic drugs to minors would come under much stricter penalties If a proposed bill in the state legislature becomes law. House Minority Leader Jason Boe, D-Reedsport, i n tr o d u c e d a measure In Salem Friday that would provide life Imprison ment to anyone over the age of 21 convicted of providing narcotics or hallucinogenic drugs to a person under 21 years of age. “ It’s unbelievable how much the use of drugs has increased among the younger age groups over the past few years,*’ Rep. Boe stated. " I think one of the ways to combat this dangerous problem is by helping to cut off the supply of drugs. This can be done by letting the sup plier know that we now con sider him to be an extremely dangerous criminal. If he is convicted of selling drugs to minors, under this proposal he would run the risk of going to jail for life with no hope of parole for at least ten years.’’ The measure clearly defines hallucinogenic drugs as; Lyser gic acid diethylamide (LSD), Psilocybin, Dlmethyltrypt- amlne, Methyltrypamlne, Pe- Timber Group Elects Officers Robert L.

Drag Schedule Sei By SWOTA Sunday, May 11, Is the date of the kick off race for the 1969 drag season, according to an announcement by th e Southwestern Oregon Timing Association whose directors met Sunday in Bandon. Races are held at the West ern Oregon Dragway, eight miles north of Port Orford. The 1969 schedule Includes races on June July 13, Aug. 10, and the championship meet, Sept. 14.

Under present Oregon law persons convicted of violating the state narcotics statutes can only be punished by a fine of $5,000 or by Imprisonment not ex ceeding ten years, or by both. "Illegal use of narcotics and these new hallucinogenic drugs is not a matter to be taken light ly,** the Minority Leader point ed out. “ I think it’s time we started to crack down on the people who are supplying young people with these drugs. In my opinion, the persons who supply minors with these dan gerous substances should be punished as harshly as those who commit outright murder.’’ The 39th annual convention of the Oregon Coast Associa tion will be held Thursday, F ri day and Saturday, April 10-12, at the new Dunes Resort In Lincoln City, according to OCA manager George Weaver. This year’s program will In clude an Invitational art exhibit, a film review, and a tour of the new Plxleland Amusement Park. Speakers at the work sessions will be State Highway Engineer F o r r e s t Cooper, Assistant Highway Engineers Tom Ed wards and Fred Klaboe, Rep resentative Paul Hanneman (R- Tlllamook County) and Warne Nunn, Pacific Power & Light manager of public affairs.

This Is the first time In TV history that a rerun show has been considered so good It was chosen to start a new season. "Portraits of the Ore gon Coast” also will be shown again after having won several film festival awards and ap- District Jury Panel Drawn Tax Relief Aid Tabled AU of the major proposed legislation which would have granted exclusive property tax relief to owners of homes and farmsteads here In Oregon were tabled Friday In the Oregon House of Representatives Tax ation Committee. House Minor ity Leader Jason Boe, D-Reeds port, one of the sponsors of several of these relief meas ures vigorously protested this action. “ It now becomes ap parent,” he stated, "that the Republicans are continuing with their 3% sales tax or nothing approach. They won’t even con sider these alternatives which would provide significant pro perty tax relief to those who most need it—the owners of homes and farmsteads.” The vote on tabling the bills broke, expectedly, along party lines; all seven Republicans supported the motion to table, whUe all four Democrats op posed It. Tabling these pro posals would seem to effect ively kill them for this legis lative session. "The people of Oregon sim ply aren’t going to understand why these bUls can’t be stand ing by when the sales tax Is rejected on June 3rd,” Boe said. "After the election, the Legislature will stlU have a responsibility to the people of this state to provide them with some adequate form of property tax relief that is not tied to the sales tax. House Speaker Smith and the Republican maj ority In the House should not take the attitude that ‘If the people won’t play our sales tax game, we’ll take our marbles and go home*. The hard-pres sed homeowners of Oregon de serve much better than this.” Oregon Coast Convention Slated For Lincoln City La VEDA MATTSON, Brookings-Harbor high school, presents the Curry County March of Dimes Trophy to Michelle Deets and Scott Rose of Pacific high school, for winning the recent fund raising drive over Brookings and Gold Beach.
