BLM EMPLOYEES
SERVE 10 YEARS
Two employees in the Vale
District, Bureau of Land Mana­
gement, Robert A. Teegarden
and Mrs. Bonnie B. Johnson,
were recently presented with
10-year service pins by Dist­
rict Manager Maxwell T. Lieu­
rance.
Teegarden, Supervisory Na­
tural Resource Specialist, came
from Montana to the Vale Dist­
rict in June 1962 as a range
conservationist. Prior to that
time he had worked with the
U.S. Park Service. Two years
ago he was presented with an
Outstanding Performance Award
for his work in the Vale Dist­
rict.
Teegarden has a special in­
terest in sports such as hunt­
ing, fishing and camping with
his wife, JoAnn and their two
children, Robert and Patty. At
the present time he is also an
avid follower of Babe Ruth base­
ball in which his son plays.

counting Clerk, began her ser­
vice with BLM in March 1961.
She has received a “Field In­
centive Award” for improving
administrative procedures in
contracts.
Mrs. Johnson and her hus­
band, Joel, make their home
on a farm north of Vale. Her
special interests outside her
work are her two grandsons who
live in Seattle, Washinton, hunt­
ing,
fishing, camping, and
gardening.
Sec. Of State Meyers
Commends 56th Legislature
Secretary of State Clay Myers
said today the 1971 legislative
session enacted more pro-
ressive reforms in Oregon’s
election laws than any legisla­
ture in recent years.
“With these new laws, Oregon
voters will now know more
about the candidates and their
campaign financing,
before
going to the polls, than voters
in any other state,” Myers said.
Myers said Senate Bill 20 was
a "major breakthrough” in re­
vising the Corrupt Practices
Act. The bill’s principal fea­
tures include appointment of a
single
campaign treasurer
through whom all in and out-of-
state contributions must flow;
reporting of all contributions
and expenditures 10 days prior
to an election; and substituting
the attorney general, in place
of the county district attorneys,
as the enforcement agency in
cases of election law violation.
“The public’s right to know
is paramount in a political cam­
paign,” Myers said, “andthese
revisions in the Corrupt Prac­
tices Act will increase voter
awareness of a candidate’s fi­
nancial dealings.”
Another significant accomp­
lishment, Myers said, waspass­
age of House Bill 1144, which
standardizes some of the in­
formation candidates supply for
the VOTERS’ PAMPHLET, such
as age, education and pro­
fessional and governmental ex­
perience.
In addition, the candidate’s
picture may not be more than
three years old. The League
of Women Voters and the State
AFL-CIO joined the Secretary
of State’s office in sponsoring
the measure.
Myers also expressed satis­
faction over passage of House
Bill 1020, which establishes a
uniform election code for spe­
cial service districts through-
out the state.
‘‘Every legislature since 1957
has considered this measure,”
Myers said, “and 1 am very
pleased we were finally able to
get it passed. Now we can
standardize all the hundreds of
small but very important spe­
cial service district elections
that occur every year.”
A companion measure, House
Bill 1145, providing that county
clerks will supervise all special
service district and school elec­
tions, also gained passage this
session, Myers said.
The Secretary of State noted
that a series of bills was passed
to increase responsibilities for
18 to 21-year-olds. They in­
clude:
--House Joint Resolution 47,
to ratify the federal constitu­
tional amendment lowering the
voting age to 18 in all elec­
tions;
—Senate Bill 552, to make 18
to 20-year-olds eligible to run
for delegate to national party
conventions and for national
committeeman and committe-
woman;
—Senate Bill 583, to make 18
to 21-year-olds eligible to serve
on juries;
—Senate Bill 582, to permit
minors, 18 years and older,
to engage in valid and binding
contracts.
