NEW YORK (AP) Anthropologist Margaret (Phew!) de WEAR We HOUSE Made It! 220 SOUTH ANDERSON Legislative report By RICHARDDELLINGER State Representative Although the primary responsibility of the Indiana Legislature is to approve and update laws that govern the citizens of the state of Indiana, members of the General Assembly occasionally take a step beyond these boundaries. One of these steps, which has lately been used in the House of Representatives, is the memorialization process. Memorializations are definite stands on current issues being dealt with by the federal government. Passed by a majority of the members, memorializations have no actual legal authority but act as an expression of state legislative sentiment to the federal government.

Memorializations usually take the form of concurrent resolutions, which means they must be passed by a majority of both the House and Senate Church notes- JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES It is circuit assembly time again for twenty-three congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses. So from northcentral Indiana, over 1,500 delegates met this past Saturday and Sunday at Holt, Michigan. They enjoyed the modern facilities of their own Assembly Hall that has served over 30,000 witnesses from Michigan, Ohio and Indiana over the past two years. This assembly with the theme: "Entering a large door leading to activity," was especially directed to young people. R.H.

Moore, presiding overseer of the Elwood congregation, said, "'We realize that strong internal growth is vital for continued expansion in the future. This must come from our young people who are maturing. We not only make them feel needed but train them to be an integral part of our congregations." Moore said, congregation in Elwood returned with renewed determination to not only follow the way of life but to invite others to join with them in leading full lives of devotion."

I mention this process now in light of the fact that the House has passed two memorializations in the last week. The first, passed last Monday by a 55-19 vote in the House, memorialized the President, the Congress and any members of the U.S. delegation to the World Bank immediately bring to a stop any consideration by the World Bank and the International Development Association of a proposed loan to the 'Peoples Republic of Vietnam' in the amount of $200 million which would be guaranteed through funds appropriated by the Congress of the United States." This memorialization comes in the wake of a World Bank mission to Hanoi, lasting about a month and seeing other areas of Vietnam, which was described by the bank "as a useful and constructive start to the bank's relationship with unified Vietnam." Support for the resolution came primarily from members who cited Vietnam's reluctance to assist in locating American MIA's as one of their main points.

Passed Wednesday by an overwhelming vote in the House, the second resolution memorializes the Congress, immediately initiate and support legislation overruling a proposed ban by the Food and Drug Administration on the production and use of the chemical sweetner saccharin, since the methods of testing by the F.D.A. are suspect." The resolution goes on to explain such a ban would eliminate the only artificial sweetner available for those people who require a sugarfree diet, including those Americans suffering from diabetes. This is resolution comes a week after an F.D.A. announcement that rats daily fed a dose of saccharin which amounted to 5, per cent of their diet by weight, displayed an unusually high number of malignant bladder tumors. As mentioned before, these resolutions carry no legal authority and will most likely not have an immediate effect on any governmental agency.
