pagi rovi The Sentinel You will enjoy trading at Dunham’« where your ihoney goes farther for quality merchandise. There is no substitute for quality. Gov. Meier has extended the mora torium on automobile license* for an other 15 days, or until August 1. He could just as well have made it 30 days in the first place had he not been trying to put Hal Hoss in a hole. As it is the secretary of state emerges with a great deal more credit from that skirmish than does the governor. Eleven counties of the state will receive larger sums than will Coos county in the apportionment of motor vehicle operator and registration fees received by the secretary of state between April 1 and June 30. Of the »1,568364.55 received, after deduct ing the administrative costa of »55,- 377.96, two-thirds goes to the high way department and one-third to the county from which the fees are re ceived. Coos county’s share for the quarter is »18,110.96. The apportion ment was made Wednesday. The average license fee for passen ger vehicles in the state of Oregon is »2138 for one year, according to sta tistics compiled by the secretary of state’s office in Salem. Based on an imaginary “average” automobile, traveling an annual mileage of 11,000, the coat of the registration fee would be nineteen hundredths of a eent per mile. The Oregon license is 0.05 higher than the average registration fee of all the other states in the Union. The national average, baaed on >11,000 miles is 0.14 cents per mile license cart. We do not know all the animus back of the Marion County Taxpayers Equalisation League, in Initiating the bill which will cause the consolidation of the state college and the univer sity, and put Eugene off the educa tional map of Oregon. But we do know that when Hoary Zorn, presi dent of the League, attempts to throw duet in the eyes of the newspapers of the state and their readers, by sending out stories to discredit the opponent« of his bill, by claiming that the initi ative petitions were stolen from a Portland office, hie statements are not to be trusted. It was a dirty way to try to defame the opponents of the consolidation bill, and if^that bill meets the fate it deserves it will be snowed under by an avalanche of votes at the November election. In slow freezing, the foods pass so slowly through the principal ice-form ing sone, 31 to 25 degrees above aero, that there is time for large ice crys tals to form from the wster in the cell walls, damaging the structure, taste, quality, and appearance of the food. But with quick freezing at low temperatures the transition through the crystal sone is so rapid that there is little time for sizable crystals to form. The elastic cellular walls of many fruits expand to accommodate the small crystals formed in quick free* ing, but the rigid walls of such vege tables as spinach, asparagus, peas, and carrots burst. This change to the structure, however, is actually bene ficial to the food, for with unfrosen vegetables 40 to 60 per cent of the cooking time is occupied with this very task of breaking down the cell walls. Quick freezing, but reducing the cooking tijne shout half, saves much of the frosh flavor and aroma usually loot in cooking. Because of this, frozen vegetables, it fa claimed, are actually preferable to unfrozen vegetables fresh from the field, and are far ahead of vegetables which have been picked green and have spent several days en route to market. With the recent development of portable quick freezers it is possi ble to harvest the fruits and vege tables full ripe and freeze them in the fields immediately, so that none of their cpulity is loot Some products, such as corn, however, keep better when frozen 'while slightly immature. Meats and fish and other sea foods, too, reach the consumer fresher by far than so-called fresh products that have been days and weeks in transit, for the quick freezing captures and holds the freshness until the foods are thawed. Quick freezers aboard ships and on fish piers make this immediate freezing of sea foods passible The elimination of waste and of spoilage offsets the cost of long-time refrigerated storage. All the inedible parts are trimmed off. Only 42 per cent of fish is edible and only that 42 per cent is qwiek frozen; the other 88 per cent conafate of heads, tails, bones, scale, and other waste. Bone and surplus fat are trimmed off the meat cute that are to bo quick frozen. The many cuts of meat now being sold sell at the same price as unfros en meat, and the packers expect to re duce the average price of meat about three and a half cents a. pound. Quick frozen fruits and vegetables sell somewhat higher in price than un frozen produce, but with the increme of volume and facilities this will probably come down at least to par with the unfrosen price. Some forty firms, including several of the largest food packing firms in the country, are engaged in the pro duction and distribution of quick frozen foods, and they have been and are spending millions on plants, equip ment, and research. They expect within a decade or lees to build up nationwide distribution, making available to every home in the land a year ’round diet of fresh fruita, vege tables, seafoods, and meats. To ac complish this, however, hundreds of thousands of retail outlets must be equipped with low temperature dis play cases, and to enable the house wife to buy in quantity, to lay in a supply of frozen foods just as she purchases a stock of canned goods, low-temperature home refrigeration must be developed. The home must be equipped with a refrigerator that has one compartment maintaining 40 to 50 degrees above sero for ordinary perishables and another that main tains possibly 10 degrees above for quick frozen food storage. This re frigerator must be capable of being defrosted without the temperature rising to a point ait which quick froz en food, will thaw. Voters of Oregon will be required to pass judgment on 13 measures at the time of the state election next November. Seven of these will be measures ini tiated by the people, three will be measures referred to the voters by the last legislature and three will be leg islative acta against which the refer endum has been invoked. Five of the 13 measures involve proposed amendments to the state constitution. The other eight are statutory provisions. • The seven initiated measures are: Constitutional amendment provid ing for creation of county tax conser vation commissions with authority to pass on reasonableness and necessity of proposed bond issues and tax levies; sponsored by the Oregon Tax- Tayens’ Equalisation and Conserva tion League; Constitutional amendment enlarg ing scope of the state water power and hydroelectric amendment, spon sored by the State Grange; STax Supervising and Conservation Bill authorising governor to appoint commission of three members in each county to serve without pay, sponsor ed by Oregon Taxpayers’ Equaliza tion and Conservation League; Personal Income Tax Law amend ment, increasing tax rate in higher brackets and reducing exemptions, sponsored by Oregon Taxpayers’ Equalization and Conservation League; Freight Truck and Bus bill impos ing additional fees and restrictions on trucks and busses, sponsored by Highway ¡Protective association; University-State College Consoli dation bill, sponsored by Marion Equalization County Taxpayers’ LdftgUd; Bill to Repeal State Prohibition law, sponsored by Harry B. Critchlow of Portland; The throe referred measures, all proposed constitutional amendments, include the following proposals: Providing for taxpayer qualifica tions for voters on bond issues and tax levies; Authorising criminal trials without juries by consent of the accused; Enlarging the basis for computa tion of the six percent limitation on tax levies. The three legislative acts against which the referendum has been in voked, automatically suspending thsir operation until after the November election, are: Rogue River Fishing Bill, closing that stream to commercial fishing, referendum sponsored by F. B. Postel and eleven other residents of Wedder- burn; Oleomargarine Tax Bill, imposing a tax on the manufacture and sale of this commodity, referendum sponsored by the Anti-Food Tax League; Higher Education Appropriation bill, appropriating »1,183,000 from the general fund of the state for mainten ance of the state’s five institutions of higher education, referendum spon sored by Marion County Taxpayers* Equalization League. Referendums invoked against three other legislative acts were abandoned by their sponsors and ten initiative measures for which preliminary peti tions were filed with the secretary of state’s office were never completed. Feature Items for Fri.-Sat.-Mon., July 15-16-18 —------------------------------------------------ -- -------------------------- ■—-I ■ BREAD The automobile license controversy has apparently ended in a stalemate with only two visible results: First, confusion on the part of the motoring public as to what the situation with respect to license purchases really is, and second, serious depletion of the highway fund through failure of the motoring public to purchase licenses due to the uncertainty as to what might happen. Scores of motorists have written the automobile registra tion department enclosing money to pay for a quarter- or half-yearly li cense with a demand that their ap plication be filled on that basis under the belief that Governor Meier had “American The big Two Pound Mammoth Loaf IOC EACH 3 Cans 9S^ Bring Your ’ Palmolive and Crystal White Coupons to DUNHAM’S • Rockdell HONEY Pancake Flour Purity Cigarette Maker See the New Himyar 75c for ' 49« Breakfast Bell TOMATO 5 Kh. 47« Hot Sauce $ CANS 19« Watermelons Fresh Roasted Peanuts IOC Big Quart Grape Juice Van Camps Kerr’s Best Tomato Soup PINT ■■17« Bottle Salad Aid PINT JAR 14« PILLSBURY’S BEST CAN FLOUR Hominy The Finest Flour Sold 49-lb a « 4mA BAG Roosevelt Highway Oysters New Potatoes SUGAR Pure Cane (Limit) SHORTENING “Snowcap” 41« SACK $4»® 5 10 7c POUND LARGE Can Thompson’s Malted Milk Chocolate Flavored 43c DUNHAM’S of Coline, Coquille TWO DELIVERIES set aside the law and put his partial payment plan into effect. These, of course, were all returned with ex planations as to what the situation realty is. On the other hand less than one-half as many automobiles have been licensed to date thia year than was the case a year ago in spite of the fact that a moratorium of 30 days was granted by the governor at that time. Revenues of the motor vehicle registration department have fallen off proportionately showing a loss of nearly »1,500,000 compared with last year’s receipt». Unless Governor Meier extends his moratorium—as it is predicted here that he will—mo torists who operate their cars after July 15 will be expected to display the new plates in order to avoid arrest by state police. The depression has boosted busi ness for the libraries of Oregon. Out of a total of 11« libraries, large and small, in the state 91 report circula tions aggregating 5,665,361 books during 1931. For 1929 circulation of the public libraries of the state to talled 4,767,718 books according to reports compiled by Miss Harriett C. Long, state librarian. This is a gain in circulation of 897,64« books in two Oregon’s gasoline cowboy law — years compared to a normal gain of (bone of serious contention in the last approximately 106.000 books a. year. two legislatures — has apparently Of the total circulation reported for proven its value and is attracting at 1981 4,167,128 books were circulated tention of other western state«.
