Sunn) Decker excellent first-person narrative "Ar Empty Spoon " wis review for th Bookworms Club b Mrs. BUI Vieatherford at their April JS metit In th Jerry Brotntn home on Put ter Creek. This educational, sociologi cal, (actual accounting ol two years of teaching In an alU4ack tiih school in Phila delphia nukes young, white, Mrs, recker seem much nore than two years older when the resigns at the end of her second year. The book gives It readers an insteht that is not senti mentalized, a few looks into the lives and ways of young blacks that reflect vividly the conditions In their homes. It points out more often than not they come from bookless homes. They are pressured to stay out of school by their own desires tor clothes and radios, and often by the need to provide a substantial por tion of the family Income. Thus, for many, their very presence in a classroom is a triumph. Mrs. Decker writes of a marked change that took place in many high schools after the assinations of President John F. Kennedy and the Fev. Mar tin Luther Kins. She divi des her book into two parts, The First Year and The Se cond Year. That summer between Mrs. Decker's two years brought vivid changes in the appear ance, attitudes, activities, and ambitions of the North High students. "The kiiis seemed older this year. It may have been the bushes. Not everyone bad become the active thinker his hair and dress Indicated, though. When I saw Den nis Hower walking around in beads, I realized that for many it was just the fash ion. Dennis had never had a thought in his head. I hoped that if he let all the woolly hair out on the out side, his brain might be less entagled and start work. Fat change. " " For every two Dennis Ho wers, though, there was a kid who had begun to act and question and challenge society. 1 searched my class es for them. And who did I find?" "For the second year in a row, l had Byron Thur mond. And I knew by the end of the first quarter of the year that for the second year in t row, rd flunk him. Like most kids', Byron's Fi had nothing to do with his brain. It was his extracur ricular activities that cut me out of his schedule, and thereby cut hik average to nothing. Last year, be was bus) with fatherly duties. He was forever taking his two sons to the too or the park and parading them In and out of school (though ne ver during class time). The year was spent in celebra tion of Byron Thurmond virility. "This year it was Black Unity. The father bit some how wore off over the sum mr. And besides, he couldn't afford to let his militant friends know that the mother of his children was an Ju lian girl from South Fhilly Fraternmng with whites just doesn't mike it these days. "This year, I was told to forget the word' Negro. They were the blacks. Lots of kids were just hostile. Only a few knew anything a bout lectslatuon or the lea ders of their movements. The vast majority know only that unity am UK Macks ws sud denly vital. And they were unified in hate." Sunny tVcker greatly ad mired her prinrljial. III But ler. She learned a great deal about all human rela tionships during her two )ears. Fit Butler really led his teach, i s by his demon strations of natural lov ing and skillful understanding.

ALLOWS LEGISLATORS TO CALL SPECIAL SESSIONS Purpose: This measure amends the Oregon Constitution to allow a majority of members of each house of the legislature to call a special ses sion of the legislature either by Joint resolution, or by petition filed with the presiding officers In a manner provided by law. The resolution or petition may limit the matters to be considered at the special session. This does not affect the Governor's authority to call a special session of the legislature. ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: No direct financial effect. However, If the option to call itself Into special session were exer cised by the Legislature as allowed by this amendment, costs to conduct the session would be Incurred. Costs of recent spt-cial ses sions of the Legislature have averaged approximately $5,000 per day. 4. CAPITAL CONSTRUCTION BONDS FOR STATE GOVERNMENT Purpose: This Constitutional Amendment authorizes issuance of general obligation bonds not to exceed at one time one fourth of l'i of true cash value of all taxable property. The bond revenues are to finance the cost of buildings and other state government projects, and are to be repaid from gifts, rentals, parking and other building fees. The legislature, however, may Impose a prop erty tax If such gifts, rentals and fees are Insufficient to pay In debtencss. ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: No Immediate financial impact The measure does not automatically allow Issuance of bonds. Before bonds can be Issued, legislative action is required. Bused on the estimate of 1973 true cash value of property in the State, the maximum amount of bonds which the U-gislature could authorize would be approximately $55 million. The annual savings at current (early 1972) interest rates would be approxi mately $35,000 for each one million dollars of bonds utilized. YES NO YES NO 1. ELIMINATES LITERACY REQUIREMENT: LOWERS VOTING AGE Purpose: This measure amends the Oregon Constitution to eliminate the requirement that every voter must be able, except for physical disability, to read and write the English language. It also lowers the minimum voting age from 21 to 18 years of age for all elections in Oregon. 2. REPEALS REQUIREMENT FOR DECENNIAL STATE CENSUS PuTKKe: This measure repeals Section 5 of Article IV of the Ore gon Constitution which requires the state legislature to provide for a census "of all the white population of the State" every ten years, in the fifth year of each d-cade. YES NO YES NO Published pursuant to provisions of ORS 310.330 Sadie Parrish, County Clerk of Morrow County 5. IRRIGATION AND WATER DEVELOPMENT BONDS Purpose: Authorizes bonds up to one percent of true cash value of taxable property in state to provide funds to be advanced for construction and, when necessary for security of state, the operation and maintenance of irrigation projects to and upon farms owned by Oregon residents (including corporations and public bodies) and to acquire easements and rights-of-way for water development projects; authorize ad valorem tax sufficient to pay principal and interest on bonds. ESTIMATE OF FINANCIAL EFFECTS: This amendment would allow the State to sell bonds to establish a loan fund to be ad vanced for local irrigation and water development projects Based on the estimate of 1973 true cash value, a maximum of $220 mil lion of bonds could be Issued. The 1971 Legislature has provided, subject to approval of this amendment, that advances from these bond proceeds are to be made only on a loan basis secured by a first mortgage against the irrigation or water development project property. The cost of paying off the bonds Is to be met by loan repayment. YES NO PROPOSED BT REFERENDUM PETITION 6 ENABLING COUNTY CITY VEHICLE REGISTRATION TAX Purpose: Allow counties to levy $10 annual vehicle registration YES LJ tax for highway and park purposes. Exempts certain trailers, campers, mobile homes and other vehicles. The county and cities NO H In county would share revenues equally.
