To Miss Helen Pearce goes the
honor of being the first woman
graduate of Willamette university

English as far as local old-timers
can recall. She returned Sunday
afternoon from the University of
California where she was granted
the degree after taking the last

Salem's new milk ordlnan.-e.
evenjthough it has Ven amend!
more extensive! than was act-
Ipated a week ago to accomni-
6ate the small eale producer,
seems destined to become the rs-
er of a spirited hMtle In t'fir
near future.
When the ordinance was re
ported back to the council with
severajl amendments ry the heal
and sanitation committee wonirat
night, it drew hitter attacks frow
Aldermen Vandevort and Rbote.
Mr. Vanderort said the bill w
designed to crush "the little fel
low" and Mr. Rhoten went hiw
one better aud said it would Php-
ly "kill the little fellow off."
Cooling Requirement
Found Chief Objection
Objection was directed chleflj
at the requireir.pnt 'that grade A
raw milk be cooled at the ra'
of milking to 5") desrees before
being transported to anotner
Dlace for bottling. This a
concession to the producers who
propose to nurrhase milk from
their neighbors to stabilize tht-tr
supply. Tlie original requirement
was that raw milk to De graue a
must be bottled where it is pro
duced.
The cooling requirement wul
necessitate installation of refri
geration system? on these farsas
where a few cows are kept, aed
the cost will be prohibitive Ja
view of the revenue, the alder
men opposed to tbe ordinance de
clared.
Alderman Kowitz, a member l
the committee which had this eiil
under consideration, said he had
understood from sentiment ex
pressed at the two hearings heM
recently, that there would be no
objection to the cooling require
ment, but added that he was win
in to raise the temperature to 55
degrees so that the milk might
cooled with well water.
The ordinance was referred
back to the committee and ar
rangements made for its study by
all members of the council befere
final consideration. It was -plained
that the Mil in its origin
al form was identical with the
milk ordinance now in effect in
Portland and ia many other ci
ties. The council passed without
comment the two license ordia
ances, one raising the fees to be
paid by circuses and similar
shows and the other adjusting the
theatre license fees on a basis er
seating capacity, a measure ask
ede by the Bmaller theatres.
Under suspension of the rules,
an ordinance calling for bids or
the 250,000 of bridge bonds re
maining unsold was passed, with
an understanding that the boade
will not be sold for less than par.
