They contend that the brand label, demanded by fediral law, would make the licpior unsab able, as the label, jrivinir the brand name, the alcoholic content, etc., could be construed as promotive advertising. Perhaps the const nut ion placed on the bill by its ooponents is cot-ret However, we are inclined to the belief that the internrrtation is rather drastir and probably would not be sttpporttrt if brought into court. It is our opinion, formed from a study of the measure, ii... i ii. . e i: I'.ui no rc-tiucuon v onto occur in ine ipianiiiy ui iiiiunr available for purchase or consumption. I.ut the finality would be sorr.cthinjr different. Advert'sins is the public's primary protection. Widelv advertised merchandise must be of (ffod quality or it cannot lonjf be widelv advertised. False and misleading advertising claims fail to fool the public for anv consid erable length of time. Consequently, continuous, lone-time advertisin? of an..' particular product, liquor included, means public acceptance of quality claims. Market For Bathtub Gin One of the first results to be anticipated from the promotive advtrti.-i.nr bill, if passed, would be to flood the market with various brands of "mountain dew" and "bathtub Kin." All standard brands of liquor would be forced off the shelves. Kventiial!. the distillers would (ret around to labels very similar to th"ir advertised products: just enough change to keep within the law, but still sufficient to identify the brand Several months probably would be required to get this system in operation, and, in the mean time, liquor stores would sell grab bag liquor.

Fuller, Nora N. f uller and Mary Lou Fuller to force relinquishment of property held by them, in order that the county can construct an access road across it. Arcording to the complaint, the county needs the inpeity, located west of Canyonvilie, tor an access road to a garbage disposal sue lor the communities in southern Doug las county. The defendants have allegedly failed to agree on a avit aoie compensation, so the county asks that the assessment be made by a jury to determine the com pensation for title to the property.! A. F. Suksdorf and Anna M. Suksdorf have filed suit in circuit' court against F.djar James RoMti ette for S1.1UO. This amount alleg edly remains to. be paid on pro perly sold to the defendant. The plaintiff asks the court to bar the defendant Irom the property in the event the money is not paid. The Pacific Km plovers Insurance Co. have also filed suit for recovery of I 2,S from Jackie J. l undilf and W. W. Klifritz. The plaintiff company contends that it held an auto insurance policy for Joe L. Brant covering loss or damage over $100 to a Diamond T truck The truck was damaged Aug. 24, 1949. when the defendants' loaded logging truck allegedly sideswiped Brant's truck. The insured truck was reportedly damaged to t h e extent of Sl.UMS.2S, of which the plaintiff company paid $946.25. :Wrt-ft B l'"'l'r't S.

Retail mark-downs on beef ranged from two to six cents a pound, and there were scattered cuts of one to four cents a pound on some lamb and poultry items The meat reductions marked the beginning of the seasonal down trend.
