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.
Any student, an) teacher,
no matter what color or rare,
can grow by reading this
small book.

3. 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.

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.

NO

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.
