Mrs. William Ardry, presi dent of the Medford Council of PTA, reported on the legisla tion workshop which she at tended for the council at Salem during January. She stated that for the PTA to support any type of legislation, it must be brought before the state con gress at convention and put in to the platform of the congress. New platforms are presented at each convention, but sometimse there are carryovers from one year to the next. At present the Oregon Congress is urging support of several bills and the defeat of one. Local units are not required to support state recommendations, but are asked to present both sides of the ques tion. Two bills that are given fa vorable consideration by ' the Oregon congress are SB172 and SB173, which have to do with the control of objectionable comics and magazines. No. 173 which would prohibit dealers from forcing retailers to take objectionable items to get their quota of the good magazines. The other bill would set up an advisory committee to study and examine publications. HB273 is another bill sup ported by the PTA, as it would raise the basic school support fund from $80 to $90. Another bill supported : by PTA is the "pilot school bill," to provide special schools for the mentally retarded and also for exceptionally talented children. It is HB337. One of the pilot schools is at Fhoenix. . Two other bills also recom mended by the Oregon Congress are one for a minimum salary for teachers and the other to increase library service for schools. People interested in the passage of these bills are asked to write their local, representa tives and senators urging their passage. Oregon Congress opposes the bill which would abolish the physical and health examina tions in the Oregon schools. Even though some think the present law not the best, they feel it is unwise to abolish the whole set-up. They urge the defeat of SB302. Mrs. John Benson reported on the meeting held with Wayne Durrell, chairman of juvenile protection for the Oregon Con gress of PTA. The meeting was attended by local police, and juvenile officers, advisor from the schools, and by PTA mem bers and parents. Mr. Darrell stated that the 1953 national average was one out of 43 children has a police record, and that boys outnum bered the girls 5 to 1. He stat ed that the child first gets in trouble with the police at about 9 years of age on a na tional average, and is first ar rested at about 13 years. They are most often arrested at 17 years o age, most often for the illegal possession of liquor. He stated that records show that 90 per cent of teenagers in trouble have a normal , IQ or increased 12 per cent in the last 25 years and more than 50 per better; juvenile offenses have cent of the child criminals be come adult criminals..

Every person 21 or over has the right to vote, and laws are passed by a Chamber . of Deputies of 51 members.
