states. Delegates are
elected from the 11 Area
Agency on Aging Dis-
tricts to both the Silver
Haired Senate and the
Silver Haired House.
During the three-day
session, pieces of
"legislation" are written,
sent to committee and
debated and voted on by
the 66 Silver Haired
legislators. Of the
20-plus bills deliberated
this year by the Silver
Haired Legislature, II
survived and were pass-
ed by both the House and
Senate. Of these, under
the rules of the program,
five were then prioritized
for ~ransmission to the
actual Legislature. The
five chosen were deemed
to represent the most
pressing needs of citizens
60 years and older in our
state. And, as has been
the practice in the past,
the five bills will receive
consideration for possi-
ble introduction into the
Oklahoma Legislature
when it reconvenes in
January.

(4) Community Based In-

Additionally, the
Silver Haired Legislature
created a position state-
ment containing more
than twenty statements
of support for issues
ranging from the adop-
tion of a statewide vic-
tim's assistance/restitu-
tion program for older
persons victimized by
fraud to the establish-
ment of a National Silver
Haired Congress to meet
biannually.
Another, similar group
of psuedo-legislators
began their meetings im-
mediately after the con-
clusion of the Silver
Haired Legislature last
week, also. That group,
the Oklahoma Inter-
collegiate legislature,
meets annually to draft
and vote on bills and
resolutions to send the
State Legislature. Their
procedures are similar to
those of the Silver
Haired Legislature and
valuable information il-
lustrating the feelings of
our college-aged citizens
from every corner of the
state is gained through
their efforts.
So, in separate but
similar group meetings
last week at the State
Capitol, both young and
old Oklahomans gath-
ered to expend their time,

talent and resources for
no other purpo s than
to better learn the
legislative process in
Oklahoma and to trans-
mit their beliefs, con-
cerns and feelings to the
state's lawmakers.
I believe I can speak
for each of my colleagues
when I say we deeply ap-
preciate the work of such
groups. State Senators
and Representatives are
annually beset by lob-
byists, journalists and
others regarding the
issues we must research,
understand and vote on.
When we receive mater-
ial we know has already
been researched, debated
and voted on by well run,
simulated legislatures,
we are assured valid
points are being brought
to our attention.
It is very gratifying to
me, personally, to see
literally hundreds of
"legislators" meet to
open their minds, offer
their thoughts and feel-
ings to one another, com-
promise and come to
agreements for the pur-
pose of communicating
their points of view to
legislators regarding the
issues which affect them.
We, as legislators, can
ask no more than this
from our citizens.
As always, I am
available to anyone who
might haye a question or
comment regarding any
issues we may handle at
the State Capitol. My ad-
dress is: Senator Bernice
Shedrick, Room 426,

This map should hopefully be of aid to Oklahoma duck and goose hunters during
coming seasons. It shows the location of all duck stamp habitat projects
which will be available for hunting this season, and the basic "zones'" as set for both
duck and goose seasons. Duck hunting opens Saturday in "Zone 2," for example.
and will remain open there until Nov. 25.
