Oregon's supreme court last
week upheld the contention of the
Observer: that an election for o r
against prohibition can o n ly be
legally held during N o vem b er.
T h e decision says “ if a city would
operate under the local option law
it must have the election on the
first Tuesday-after the first M o n
day in N ovem ber. T h e county
court has no power to entertain a
petition unless the same is filed not
less than 30 days nor m ore than
90 days before that day in any
year and it has no pow er to order
an election to be held at any other
time in the year.”
W a w ill not be responsible for the
neglect of subscribers to notify as of
changes in their address. N or w ill the
notification of a Postmaster that the sub
scriber has “ Removed” settle the bill of a
delinquent.
M e m o ria l day at M o ro was very
quietly''observed;
relatives and
friends visiting the cemetery in
small groups to decorate the last
resting place of those who have
gone before. Those not so fo r
tunate as to Teceive flowers from
out of town used the flowers that
were in bloom in the gardens of
the city and what w ild flowers
could be gathered.
As we grow older M em o rial D ay

characteristics and becoming more
a nation wide day o f observance
in remembrance of departed ones.
But a few years ago part' of every
annual recurring M em o rial D ay
was given over to sports of differ
ent kinds, but that is passing also,
until now every year as the beauti

in the quietness and peace of the

Weights and measures given to
Oregon by th<j federal govern
ment in the early ’60s have been
shipped b y Treasurer Kay to
Washington to be tested.
M r.
Kay is state sealer of weights and
measures, and the new law passed
by the last legislature will be
strictly enforced througout the
state; every place of business, from
a candy store to a warehouse, will
be forced to destroy every scale not
accurate.
Testing weights and
scales, through out Oregon, has
never been enforced because of
lack of funds. T h e new law pro
vides that an assistant may be
appointed in each county for a
short period each year.
