Guest Honored
At Many Parties 1
Mrs. Dorothea Glass, for
merly librarian of the Veter
ans Administration domicili
ary at Camp White, spent the
last two weeks in Medford
and Ashland as the house
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Louis
E. Bean, Medford, and Mr.
and Mrs. Franklin Girard,
Ashland.
A number of" social events
honored Mrs. Glass during
her visit here. An Easter din
ner party , was given at the
Girard home in Ashland, a
luncheon at the home of Mrs.
J. M. Bali in Medford, and a
card party at the L. D. Hodg
kins' home, also of Medford.
Miss Grace Stuhr enter
tained Mrs. Glass with a din
ner at Camp White at which
other domiciliary librarians
were also guests, Miss Enid
Holmes, the present librarian,
and Miss Helen Webster, li
brarian from 1948 to 1950.
Mrs. Glass, who retired
from that position in 1954, is
now living at Campbell,
Calif., her childhood home.
She is active in a number of
organizations there, and has
recently taken extended trips
to Europe and to the Orient.
Cub Scouts Visit
Mail Tribune Plant
Nine Cub Scouts from den

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.

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
