tory of Foundling Belated.
An auspicious event, one that con
cerns not only one institution and one
people, but also is of historic impor
' tance to the entire community and to
the Northwest, is the celebration of the
60th anniversary of the founding of
Congregation Beth Israel, to be held
Friday night in the Temple.
Adolphe Wolfe, president of the board
of ' trustees, will give an address of
greeting. Rev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., pastor
of the First Unitarian Church, will
speak and there will be greetings from
the evangelical, Episcopal anl Catho
lic clergy represented by Rev. Joshua
Stansneld, of the First Methodist
Church; Rev. E. H. McCollister, dean of
St. Stephen's Pro-Cathedral, and Rev.
Father George Thompson, of the Church
of the Madeleine.
C'lty'n History Interwoven.
: Rabbi Jonah B. Wise, who is In
- charge of the Temple Beth Israel, will
... give the Sabbath lesson. Rev. R. Abra
liamson will read the scripture lesson
and Rev. T. L. Eliot, D. ., minister
. emeritus of the Unitarian Church and
' one of the pioneer churchmen of the
'city, will pronounce the benediction.
Particular significance is in the cele
bration of this 60th anniversary of so
influential and eo splendid an organi
zation. One could not write the history
of the state without weaving in the
story of Temple Beth Israel, its found
ers, its rabbis and its men and women
who have been foremost in all great
'enterprises and in the upbuilding of
the community.
Nineteen Men Were Founders.

CHANGE EFFECTIVE MONDAY
Reduction Is Made Possible by Re

Supplying Consumers.
Ice prices are to be reduced in Port
land 10 cents a hundred.
The reductions are to take effect
next Monday. They come as the result
of efforts of the Food Administration
and are made possible by rearrange
ment of delivery methods according to
a zone system.
Announcement of the price cut agreed
upon was made yesterday by Assistant
Food Administrator Frank M. Warren
after a final conference with ice manu
facturers and dealers.
Mr. Warren's announcement follows:
"The Food Administration at Wash

trators to take such rational measures
as are possible in order that the price
of Ice to the domestic consumer shall
not be advanced over last year's basis.
"The only feasible way to secure a
reduction from the present price of
80 cents per hundred pounds to 70 cents
was by curtailment of deliveries and
cutting out the abuse of duplication.
The city has therefore been divided
into sones and on certain specified
days each of these zones will be served
with ice, all Ice companies delivering
in certain zones on specified days.
"Under this plan each zone will be
served with ice on three days of the
week. " Householders will be notified
before the end of the week by their ice
deafc?rs as to what zone they are in
and on what days they may have ice
delivered.
"Some zones will be served on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays, while
others will be served on Tuesdays.
Thursdays and Saturdays. This may
cause a little temporary inconvenience,
but it is only an occasional consumer
who wants a delivery of ice every day,
the great majority filling their ice
boxes only once or twice a week or
three times at the most. The only
change that will be necessary will be
the adjustment of the householder's
requirements to the days that deliveries
are made to his or her zone.
"With this change the price will be
at the rate of 70 cents per hundred
pounds in all zones except Portland
Heights, which will have a rate of 75
cents per hundred, instead of 80 and
85 cents as at present.
"The question of weights and meas
ures is covered by a city ordinance, and
any complaints regarding this should
be made to the city officials.
"The new prices and system of deliv
ery will go into effect on Monday. June
17."
Complaint Is paid to have arisen
again this season because the Ice com
panies Bell only by means or coupon
books and require cash payment in
advance. This matter was taken up a
year ago by city officials and threshed
out at that time, and the practice now
in vogue was then authorized by the
municipal authorities.
The ice companies have shown that
they effect great saving through the
coupon book alfs method. In the
first place, It makes it Impossible for
drivers to make small cash sales and
nocket the money. More Important Is
tha,- saving -through the lessening of
bookkeeping. By limiting credit to
families of standing which pay house
hold bills promptly the companies elim
inate losses on delivered Ice, say the
officials.
