In mm land use business, the Committee listened to testimony on
three abortion bills. Each attempts to redefine Oregon public policy
In light of the recent Supreme Court decision forbidding
governments to prohibit abortions prior to the last three months of
pregnancy. HB 2831 states that abortion must be performed by
doctors but deletes the restrictive grounds for the operation; in the
final trimester, the operation must be approved by two physicians
on the j rounds that it is necessary for the patient's health. HB 5929
allows a doctor to perform an abortion at any time and deletes
requirements for approval of the husband or parent of a minor.
Further hearings will be held. HB 2997, the last euthanasia btU
(death with dignity) was tabled last Friday
The Labor Committee plans to report out a measure providing
compensation for victims of crime: U will combine the best
features of the three bills Introduced this session.
The State and Federal Affairs Committee recommended passage
of HB 3166. The bill abolishes the State Highway Commission and
replaces it with a comprehensive policy making board. The initial
Transportation Commission would include the current chairmen of
the Highway, Ports, Mass Transit and Aeronautics commissions,
plus a public member. The Committee also heard bills intended to
assist in preventing automobile theft, and HB 3203, providing for
automobile license fees and 1 percent of market value.

THIS IS All IMPORTANT ONE
All women possible should avail themselves of the opportunity to
learn "Water Safety" through a Home Extension study group in
Morrow County this month of May. Clint Pryor. director of Safety
programs, American Ked Cross, was in toe county last week to give
the instruction to the women who in turn will pass on the
information at the extension meetings.
It cant be emphasized too much that women need not be
members of Extension groups to attend and this one is very
important.
Sixty percent of the 7000 people who drowned last year had no
intention of being in the water. They drowned accidentally after
falling from boats, off docks, piers, dams and pool decks. Some
walked into deep areas while wading, others just simpley walked or
fell into the water. On farms, accidental deaths by drowning were
exceeded only by those caused by machinery.
This training comes to Morrow county at a crucial time. For the
first time there is a body of water in south Morrow County, Penland
Prairie. The use of the Columbia River has increased.
The training will cover many things one can do to prevent a
drowning tragedy from happening. Personal water safety, safety
at farm ponds and some small craft safety pointers will be
discussed. Information for the construction of easy-to-make
"safety posts" which utilize many items commonly found in homes
will be given.
Call the Extension office 676-9642 to learn where the meeting
nearest you will be held. DO IT NOW! PLEASE.

As the debate on the tax plan drew to a close, many of the
legislators were out campaigning either for or against the tax
measure. The actual pace of the legislature seemed to slow down,
waiting for the outcome of the May 1 vote.
The legislature has now concluded its 16th week of meetings and
deliberations on proposed legislation. Although we have been
moving at a fairly constant pace, we still have a large number of
bills in committee.
Some of the bills which were acted upon this week include a
compromise version of a proposed comprehensive landlord -tenant
bill which sets for the rights of both landlords and tenants: a
measure which will allow people who find money to keep all of it if jacket as her home project. She

PUBLIC NOTICES
There are two hearings of importance to Morrow County people
this next week. On May 8 at 9 a.m. is the hearing for the Morrow
County budget. On May 10 at 4 p.m. there's a hearing on the Port of
Morrow budget.
If you have any questions concerning these two budgets, these
are the meetings where you can have them answered.
With Jack Sumner
Prior "to the start of the session, legislators rated land use
planning second only to tax reform among ell the issues awaiting
action.
Attention was, and still is focused on Senate Bill 100-the
controversial Macpherson-Hallock Land Use Planning Bill.
It passed the Senate with so many amendments that one observer
was prompted to remark, "Only the bill's number remains
unchanged."
What the bill does now is to create a Land Conservation and
Development Commission, a seven-member policy and decision
body for the proposed Department of Land Conservation and
Development.
It requires the commission to set guidelines by all state agencies,
planning districts, cities, counties and ordinances governing zoning
and land development.
It makes counties responsible for coordinating all land use
planning activities, except within the City of Portland. And it
permits counties to join together for planning purposes, subject to
voter approval.
And finally, it requires that permits be issued for development
projects which include activities of critical statewide concern.
These areas of concern are limited in the amended bill to public
transportation, public sewerage systems and public schools.
Removed from the bill was public utilities and other items of
concern.
While the bill in its present form is rather limited it does provide
some latitude for broadening its scope. Additional areas of critical
concern could be recommended to the Legislative Assembly by the
proposed Land Conservation and Development Commission.
Then again, some of the original language of the bill might be
restored foUowing hearings by the House Environment and Land
Use Committee. The first hearing was set for Thursday, May 3.
A majority of the House committee members have previously
stated their support of the concept of land use planning. A few have
said they would like to broaden the scope of SB 100.
However, a number of lobbyists have applied pressure to leave
the amended bill alone. There is no indication at present of any
outside pressure to strengthen the bill.
Now a review of the House Committee work last week.
The Ways and Means Committee was told that the Drooertv tax
relief program willl cost S3 million less for this fiscal year than was
originally estimated. Welfare programs, under federal statute, will
exceed budgeted allocation for the 1973-75 biennium by $14 million.
The salary subcommittee met nightly, in part to review a
negotiated agreement between state employees and the Executive
Department.
The Human Resources Committee heard HB 2245, which makes
former prisoners eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation assistance.
The bill may be amended to include only those individuals released
from the state adult detention centers. The Committee also studied
HB 2431, directing the state to establish uniform state wide public
assistance levels which provide for the needs of recipients.
The Education Committee amended HB 2661, placing student
members on various educational governing boards, to provide that
a member of the State Scholarship Commission be appointed from
each congressional district.
power to make laws. The laws could be passed either by the county
governing bodies or by the people themselves. Presently only five
counties-Multnomah. Washington, Hood River, Lane and
Benton- have law-making powers.
Ordinances which are passed by a county would be subject to the
referendum process the same as on the state level.
The House passed a similar measure two years ago but it died in
the Senate. The measure will now come to the Senate for our
approval.
A bill which would broaden Oregon's bottle bill to extend the
mandatory deposit requirement to wine and liquor bottles drew
heavy criticism in a hearing before the legislature's Joint
Committee on Alcohol and Drugs.
Oregon's "Bottle Bill" is the law which requires a deposit on all
beer and soft drink containers and prohibits the sale of carbonated
beverages in pull top cans. It was the first of its kind in the nation,
and now 39 other states are considering similar legislation.
There are still a great number of bills in committee and these are
being scheduled for hearings in which you are welcome to testify.

The Community Building was
a veritable show plate of spring

later sold. A "Country Store"
sold plants and a table loaded
with articles for a "Silent

Cook's Choice after May 14.
So when the winner was
annouced by Parade Chairman
Randall Peterson, I w as just as
surprised as anyone...
For two years running I
submitted a line from the song
about Johnny going to the
Fair... ."He promised to bring
me.... I thought that one had so
many good float possibilities
because of the many many
things that you could bring from
a fair. ..but none of the selection
group ever went for it.
The British are always talk
ing about "Taking A Holiday".
This means they are going on
vacation at the beach, the
mountains, skiing etc. etc. Then
the theme can go another way.
"Take a Holiday" like Valen
tine's Day, 4th of July, Hallo
ween etc. Anyway there's lots of
variety.
So I do hope that people will
start now thinking about which
holiday they are going to take
and plan a float for this 1973
Parade.
