COUNCILMAN Jerry Gilbert of Oklahoma City discovered something when he proposed an ordinance to force offices and businesses near homes' to close by 11 p.m. Our state legislators, in their infinite wisdom, have decreed taverns can stay open until 2 a.m. What legislators decree cannot be changed by a city council. That's true even though the councilman may live near a beer tavern or have constituents who want the tavern to close earlier than 2 o'clock in the morning. Gilbert admits his intent is to get noisy, rowdy drinkers out of residential areas before the middle of the night.

The city attorney tells him taverns cannot be forced to close earlier than the state law allows. Such being the case, a suggestion is in order. There is hope interested voters, including those serving their va rious cities as councilmen, will pass it on to their legislators: Since Oklahoma now has legal liquor by the drink, let's put 3.2 beer where it belongs. That is clearly under liquor-by-the-drink statutes. That's not going to sit well with the beer interests.

But let's face it, in spite of Oklahoma law which calls 3.2 beer "non-intoxicating," the drinker can get just as unruly and dangerous on 3.2 beer as on 100-proof bourbon. It's time for Oklahoma's all-knowing legislators to come into the 20th century, admit that 3.2 beer is an intoxicant, and control it accordingly. Legislators will do nothing of the sort until they hear from somebody with some clout. That's not city council members. That is their boss, the voter.

mon's medical column caught our eye. A reader noted that many cities and states are passing laws to require that children be strapped into special seats when traveling in autos. The reader asked if there is any evidence to prove the law is good. A bit of Dr. Solomon's answer: "In one state, it was found that children who were not kept in a child-restraint device were 11 times more likely to die in an accident than children using these devices.

Moreover, children held in the arms of an adult were no safer than those who were completely unrestrained." One often sees drivers allowing children to climb around in cars. Drivers even hold tiny children in their arms while trying to drive. Don't they realize that a sudden stop could result in that child being crushed to death up being thrown through the windshield? Please re-read Dr. Solomon's second comment: "Moreover, children held in the arms of an adult were no safer than those who were completely unrestrained." This problem has no pat solution. As long as there are drivers with children, they will continue to ignore Oklahoma's new law demanding the use of child restraints in vehicles.

And drivers and passengers will continue to ignore seat-belt laws. (Oklahoma's new law doesn't demand seat belt use until 1987, and even then exempts pickups, vans, RVs, as if those drivers and passengers face no threat of instant death.) Until everybody uses seat belts and buckles up the kiddies, all of us should take it upon ourselves to remind them to do so. 'Gypsy' gives you great ideas for gift-giving.
