You're being legis lated! Unless it's a project In a classroom, or your parents are in politics, you-the aver age teen-ager- a p p a r e ntly don t give hang about what goes on at the slate legislature. , This is a mistake. It is really a mistake this year, because the 1D61 session has an unusually high number of bills affecting your age group. Only a handful of teen agers have testified before le gislative committees. If the claim is valid that you are more grown up these days, then you should be more grown up and responsive to activities of the legislature. The argument can be made that most committee hearings arc held during weekdays, and teen-agers arc in school. But it is doubtful if any school would refuse to excuse a stud ent for something as import ant as legitimate testimony on a bill. ' .The value of a fccrwiK"r's testimony? Committees arc eager to hear all sides to an Issue, including yours. That is the purpose of a hearing, and nil who appear ran speak. A refreshing aspect of testi mony from young people Is its candor and honesty. Here is a partial rundown on bills now In the mill in Salem. They would: ' Allow 18-year-olds to vote. Raise the age requirement for a driver's license from 16 to- 18. A modified version would permit Issuance of a li cense at IP. only if the appli cant passed an approved driv er training course. Forbid youngsters in their early teen from getting a hunting license, unless cer tain conditions were met. Allow youngsters to buy cigarettes with a note from thoir parents. This is primar ily designed to allow Inmates at the boys' and girls' state training schools to smoke, but would apply to all , Oregon youngsters unless amended. Set up a system of state summer camps for boys, al lowing them to work in woods; not a correctional program, but educational. Allow those under 16 to work beyond 6 p. m. Part time grocery boys and others would be affected. The legislature has already killed a bill that would have required cars to be no lower than the wheel rims. This would have affected a num ber of hotrods. This is not to say whether it was good or bad, but It could have passed. Apparent ly the average leon-a"cr was asleep or lazy. He didn't testify. Denial Profession Police Bill Passes Salem-WPII-A bill opponents say is designed to curb ad vertising by dentists won ap proval of the Senate Wednes day, 24-6. SB351, requested by the Oregon Slate Denial Association, went to the House. News and advertising media are strongly opposed.' Sen. Thomas R. Mahoney (D-Port-Iand) said the bill would give the dental profession the nec essary power to police itself.

Cook, Alice Corbctt, Grenfell, Hare, Sweetland and Zlegler.
