Liquor Control, School Plan
Hit at Grange Convention
La Grande (U.P.) Slate
liquor control policies and school
district reorganization drew the
wrath of Oregon State Grange
delegates in convention here Fri'
day.
The delegates passed three res'
olutions aimed at changing the
liquor control setup in the state.
They call for an investigation of
the liquor commission, a possible
amendment of the Knox law, and
a bsn on liquor advertising in
Oregon.
Investigation Asked
One resolution demanded an
investigation either by the gov
ernor or by the legislature of
why liquor income has dropped,
the influence of outside interests
such as gambling in the policies
of t h e commission and why
"good men don't want to serve"
on the commission.
The resolution c al 1 i n g for
Grange efforts and money to de
feat the school reorganization
bill in November was passed
with only a few dissenting votes.
It was the Grange wruch led the
referendum movement to pla?
the so-called Holy plan on the
ballot.

Salem (U.R) Standard time
in Oregon is for the girls.
The legislators of Girls' State,
both house and senate, passed a
bill requiring all Oregon cities to
comply with Gov. Douglas
McKay's decision of this year
that the state should remain on
standard time.
The all-girl senate, after spirit
ed debate Friday, defeated a bill
to abolish the parole board. A
"witch-hunt" act requiring all
Oregon teachers to take a loyalty
oath was sent back to committee,
where it died. It was pointed out
that teachers now take a pledge
of allegiance to the flag and the
United States on frequent occa
sions. Bills to be acted upon included
those to let 18-ycar-olds vote, to
establish a civil defense program
in all schools, to urge statehood
for Alaska, and to eliminate
capital punishment.
Girls State concluded Satur
day night when 12 candidates
vied for two positions as dele
gates to Girls' Nation in Wash
ington, D. C, late in July. The
girls in Oregon have gone on
record as favoring a Girls World,
with girls from foreign nations
invited to Join the organization
which is sponsored by the Ameri
can Legion auxiliary.
Girls attending the 1952 Girls
State from Medford include
Kathryn McAllister, Ruth Ann
Pedersen and Tresa Barr, all of
Medford senior high school, and
Regina Hannon, St. Mary's high
school.
