Newspaper Page TextIIEDFORD MXE' TRIBUOT!, ifEDFOED, OREGON. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1933. PAGE THREE BEAT REPEAL EON EIS County and city authorities were consulting law books and city ordi nances today, to find out what can be done, if anything, about citizens who start selling spirituous liquors before the state of Oregon can get Its liquor control law into operation. Reports were telephoned to the dis trict attorney and chief of police late yesterday that one or two establish ments in this city had "Jumped the repeal gun," and were dispensing al leged bonded liquor. The state law is not expected to be ready for action for at least a week, and It will take some time to set up the machinery, therefore the enterprising are figur ing on gathering in the coin In the interim. District Attorney George A. Codding reports there Is no state law that covers the situation and there Is noth ing the state can do about It, until the special session of the legislature does something. Besides, the county has no Jurisdiction on the sale, with in the corporate limits. The statutes against drunken driving and sale to minors are the only ones remaining In force. It Is said. City Attorney Prank P. Parrell re ports that the city has no ordinances covering the case, except a provision that the liquor shall not be consumed . in the place where it is sold. As soon as the state law is received, city ordi nances will be revised and remodeled to conform with the state law. The federal law requires that a reve nue stamp be on each bottle, whether sold by glass, or bottle. Violation of this provision calls for two years in prison, or 95000 fine, or both. Regulations, nation, state and city, are now meager, and there seems nothing much that can be done. The legal whiskey supply In these parts Is not large and what there is Is expensive. Medicinal liquor. 17 years old, standard brands of yore, with age marked on the revenue stamp, sells for from $3 to $3.50 per pint, too high for the average pocket book. There Is a cheaper brand that sells for $1.75 per pint, in a bVown bot tle, with a label claiming the contents was distilled in Kentucky, but bear ing no revenue stamp. It is called "blended whiskey." and purported to be four years old. Imbibers claim It has a very familiar taste, but is In a fancier bottle than the undisguised moonshine of the last 13 years, and seems to have too much "extract of Bourbon" coloring fluid. It Is also reported that folks who know their way around can procure at 25c per serve, all species of gin fizzes, cocktails, rlckeys, sherry flips, Tom and Jerry and eggnogs, but they don't taste like they thought they would. Six hundred little boys and girls in Jackson county were made happy last Christmas by the toys sent them through the efforts of the Lady Lions and the Medford fire department, and for this reason persons who have discarded 'or broken toys that might be repaired or repainted are request over by the Lady Lions, who are articles might be ready for this sea son. Members of the flro department are rebuilding and repainting the toys, and the dolls are being fixed over by the Lady Llonh, kho are also making attractive dresses for them. They will be distributed by the Lady Lions to the unfortunate children who would not otherwise have a merry Christmas. Last year a number of business houses aided by 'contributions, and this year Montgomery Ward & Co. has donated enamel for the reflnlsh Ing work. Persons who have toys that might be made presentable are requested to call Mrs. H. T. Hubbard, 834-T, or Mrs. C. W. Reames, 450. Anyone knowing of children who will prob ably not receive any gifts otherwise, is also asked to call either of the above numbers. .

Be correct) corseted in an Artist Model by Ethelwyn B Hoffmann FINE LAW POINTS EKED IN SUIT FOR REPAIR OF ANCIENT MODEL AUTO A civil action, Involving an auto, that had more value after it was wrecked and repaired than before the collision, la up before Justice of the Peace W. R. Coleman Tor decision, fol lowing testimony and arguments yes terday. A number of fine legal points will have to be weighed and pon dered. Lee Bechtold Is suing the Crater Lake National Park company for (91.05. alleging the park atage struck the Bechtold auto on the left side, causing general and severe damage to the vehicle. The accident la said to have occurred on the Crater Lake highway on September 6, 1631, early In the afternoon. The defense contends that the auto, a Ford of the vintage of 1026, was only worth $40, and that after the re pairs had been made it "exceeded its own value." A supreme court de cision holds that a vehicle la only worth what tt was worth, before ah accident befell, not what It was worth after repairs. A Ford expert testified that a 1926 model T was worth be.wteen "435 and $40. and might be sold for $45, if re conditioned." The plaintiff claimed that George Pratt, the driver of the stage, told him after the smash, to get the car fixed and charge the same to the Crater Lake Park company. The bill of particulars listed 29 Items, from a front axle to a box of tacks, as used in the repairs, and 26 hours of labor by Bechtold, himself an auto mechanic. n Geo. J.
