Thornton Lists Law Loopholes Salem -4UPB- Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton has listed what he termed loop holes in Oregon's criminal laws which need to be plugged. He said a major factor in situations where known hood lums and criminals "appear to get off scot free is often not lack of diligence by prosecu tors and law enforcement agencies, but the fact that our laws are inadequate to deal with clever crooks." He said he has made eight specific proposals for amend ments and new laws to the legislative interim committee on criminal law. Of these, one would amend the criminal Conspiracy stat ute to cover racketeering and obstruction of justice. The committee is headed by State Sen. Carl Francis (R Dayton), who last week an nounced his candidacy for at torney general. Adult Course in Art Principles Taken by Teachers Central Point - An adult course in basic art principles for teachers is now in progress at Crater High school here. Objective of the course is to give elementary teachers a better understanding of the basic principles in art, and is concerned mainly with how to draw and paint rather than actual problem exercises to be given elementary students. .With basic knowledge on how to draw and paint, teach ers will have a better under standing of student problems in the creative processes, and they will be better prepared to integrate the art program into the elementary curricu lum, according to Warren Hoi brook, instructor. Teachers are drawing and studying basic geometric forms and learning to show volume and depth in relation to value and line, Holbrook noted. These forms will later be applied to the drawing and painting of still life, portraits and figures. As the course progresses, teachers will advance to prob lems in perspective and color. The basic principles of color and how color is applied to every day living will be studied, Holbrook said. The problems will take a variety of media, crayon, charcoal, pencil, pastel, and tempera paint, he said. Teachers in district 6C will receive two hours increment credit for the course, which will continue for 20 hours, two hours a night for 10 weeks. Teachers enrolled are Irene Anhorn, Earl Barnhart, Alice Beneka, Mildred Black, Marie Brannock, Ruth Broomfield, Grace Brownlee, Helen Cas ter, Barbara Charles, Joy Decker, Thelma Dobrot, Wilda Franks, Mary Gardner, Ron ald McKenna, Leon Myers, Laura Patterson, Jane Russell, Bertha Straus, Francis Tonn, Richard Trailer and Ida Von- Buskirk.
