Central SsssS Drug Reliable Prescriptions Main and Central "Oregon's constitution is ob solete and should be revised" said State Senator Philip B. Lowry when he spoke for a luncheon meeting of Medford League of Women Voters April 19 at the Jackson hotel. Senator Lowry, Medford at torney, is the retiring senator from Jackson county. The state legislature has never faced the problem of con stitutional revision squarely, but has found it easier to ignore it," he con tinued. .Senator Lowry said that the state's constitution, which contains more than 23,000 AAUW Delegates To Attend Meet Banquet Friday Five members of Medford branch, American Association of University Women, will go to Grants Pass Thursday for the opening session of the 33rd annual convention of the Oregon AAUW.

Cub Scouts Visit Mail Tribune Plant Nine Cub Scouts from den 5, pack 14, visited the Mail Tribune offices and compos ing room Monday afternoon. Touring the plant were Bruce Bertrand, Chris Bill lings, John Schuhard, Ken neth Myers, Dale Trautman, Douglas Lowry, Dwight Brown, Randy Struble, and Richard Polski. .They were accompanied by Mrs. Jack Bertrand, den mother, and son, Gary; Mrs. William Myers; and Mrs. Rob ert Brown and son, Carl. words, is ambigious in parts, unrelated in certain sections, is overlapping and difficult of interpretation. The document has 232 sections and studios, made both by the Oregon League of Women Voters and a special committee appointed in the legislature, show that 166 of the sections should be amended, deleted or shifted to other places in the document, he said. Speaking of the obsolete sections, the speaker listed one which deals with dueling and one which limits the con struction of public buildings of the state to Marion county. Through special provisions such buildings have been con structed in other parts of the state; if it becomes neeessary to close one, or divert it to some other use, more special legislation is required, he said. Discussing substantive changes, Senator Lowry said that such changes become a matter of "real controversy." Many miscellaneous provi sions in the constitution should be made into code or statutory law, he. said, which can be changed by the legis lature to meet the require ments of the times. Under the constitution, boards or com missions no longer necessary cannot be eliminated, he pointed out. ' "The state's constitution has become a strait jacket for the legislature," he said. "It is now impossible for the leg islature to meet the changing needs of the state; the consti tution perpetuates beaurac racy." The speaker said that the state should have a con stitution which is easily read, easily understood and one which could be used in school as instruction material in state government. Senator Lowry believes that a constitutional conven tion should be called to con sider the problem. He traced the history of the movement in Oregon to set up such a convention, and said that. an interim committee considered the problem in 1953-55. A ma jority report favored holding a convention; a minority re ported favored changing the constitution "piecemeal." A joint resolution was intro duced asking for such a con vention, and failed to pass in the senate. A proposal to re fer the matter to the voters also failed; Senator Lowry voted in favor of the convention. He said that some oppon ents of the constitutional con vention feared that the me tropolitan areas would domi nate it, that pressure groups which had successfully incor- ported passages favorable to them feared these would be changed, and that some be lieve that because Oregon has an often-used initiative, the work of revision would soon be undone "If you have an archaic structure of government, and good public officials, you still may have good government; if you have mediocre offi cials and an archaic structure, the results will probably be bad, but a good constitution prevents abuses," the speaker concluded The senator said there is little public interest in this vitally important matter of revision, and urged the league to continue its efforts. The Oregon league has made a thorough study of the need for revision, and has kept the matter before the public Important Meeting Announced by Club Mrs. Icia L. Kelly, secretary of Townsend club auxiliary, stated today that business of importance is to come before the club's meeting Wednes day, April 23.
