Its origin obscure, adorns the walls of several Salem offices near Oregon's Capitol. It reads: "No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the legislature is in session. The statement was made by a N(>w York appeals court judge in 1806 He described it then as an . . . “old saying,” and may have paraphrased the original It may first have been uttered by Thomas Jef ferson, a frequent critic of legislative tyranny, who also forecast eventual executive tyranny at some point in the distant future. Watever its source, one must presume that since the 58th biennial session of the Ore gon legislature adjourned June 14. we are now safe again. But experience tells us it will be months before even lawmakers learn priTiscly what they did to or for life, liberty and property during their 153-day third-longest session on record. No one will question that life, liberty and property were among the myriad sub jects involved during consider ation of 2,630 proposals in troduced and passage of 867 measures—-both of which also are all-time records for legis lative activity. And the sheer magnitude of newly enacted law, coupled with last-minute compromises on many by a re cord number of conference committees during the session's waning days, further compli cates an early accurate assess ment. Nontheless, a quick tabubla- tion of the monetary impact of much new legislation lends ample credence to the old say ing and each of the state's 792.000 households may wind up about $200 poorer before the Oregon Assembly meets in regular session again in January 1977. This premise is based on an examination of enacted mea sure« bearing new appropria tions or providing additional funding for expanded programs conducted by state and local governments in this biennium. The total amounts to some thing more than $300 million and could run as high as $400 City. He stayed overnight here in Mill City with the Bill Shep-j herd family and attended the Oregon Christian Convention at Turner on Tuesday night. Don was amazed at the size of the logs on some of the logging trocks which passed him on his way to Mill City, and was intrigued by the sawmills and plywood mills here. He left Mill City Wednesday after noon for Turner and planned on bicycling to the (.'(immun ity Christian Church in Mc Minnville on Thursday. From there he planned to bicycle to the Pacific Ocean at Lincoln City and on to Portland on Saturday.

The film, which probably represents the screen’s first nar rative presentation of the prob lems faced by persons with un recognized or unalleviated hear ing losses, was produced by Chicago-based Bclione Elec tronics Corporation, world lead er in hearing aids and electronic hearing test instruments. It is part of the company's program of building public awareness of the problems faced by the hear ing impaired. Andrews portrays a college professor who has experienced and found help for a hearing loss. Contrasted with Andrews is another central character of the movie, a successful archi tect whose career and family relationship are threatened by his unalleviated hearing impair ment. In addition to the obvious problem of not being able to clearly hear and understand, the architect also is experienc ing the psychological aide ef fects frequently displayed by persons with unalleviated hear ing losses.
