They were less receptive, however, to proposals that the U.S. cut off foreign aid to any country that violates human rights and to permit persons to decide whether a patient should be kept alive by life-support machines after they have been declared clinically dead.

Most of the senators threw themselves enthusiastically into debates of the proposed bills. All expressed concern that proper points of order were followed. By KAREN CURRAN Courier-Post Staff The Walt Whitman Poetry Center in Camden was turned into a mock U.S. Senate Friday as 63 students from Camden High School, Woodrow Wilson High School in Camden and High School formed a Dake-believe legislature. Considerably speedier than their counterparts in real life, the students, in five separate committees, weighed the merits of numerous bills on topics ranging from legalizing prostitution to lowering automobile insurance rates for persons between 18 and 25.

Gino Lewis, a junior at Woodrow Wilson who will be Whig party leader at the statewide congress, isn't sure whether he will run for office, but he is sure that he will be politically active.

"Before I got into this program, I was more opposed to the government system," lwis said. "I have changed my views. There is a gotd system. It is up to the youth. I think we can change it if we want to." "People sitting back doing nothing only proMote more corruption," he said.

The students are taking classes in political and legal education. For some, the classes and the mock Senate session have spurred an interest in politics.

Simon said passage of the proposal would cost the county annual revenue of at least $300,000, which is used for maintenance of the county's 400-mile road network. The freeholder said he wants Assembly representatives to "turn thumbs down on this latest attempt by Trenton to give counties less and less (money) and order them to do more and more." "The motor vehicle fines traditionally have been used by the counties to maintain and improve county roads, benefitting every municipality," Simon said.

He told the legislators in the telegram that passage of the bill would show an "utter disregard for the interests of the county By CAROL COMEGNO Courier-Post Staff Camden County Freeholder-Director William J. Simon urged the state Assembly Friday to defeat a bill that would deprive the county government of $300,000 a year.
