Local Legion Post To Observe Group's 44th Anniversary The Medford post of the American Legion, which join ed posts in 50 stales, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Island and Guam, In marking the Le gion's 44lli birthday todny, will hold the official birth day party Saturday night at the Legion hall. It was at la Cirque dc Paris In the French capital that a handful of war-weary, but vic torious, World War I fighters gathered to organize the Le dum, now the largest organi zation of war veterans in his tory, local members recalled yesterday, announcing plans tor the Medford party. The central theme of the 44th birthday party will be ! an "American Legion Show case" of the tour programs to which the founders dedicated themselves so long ago. These are: Americanism, child wel fare, rehabilitation and na 1 tional security. The birthday party has also been chosen as a time to ex tend invitations to any vet erans in the community who are not affiliated with the Legion. These veterans are urged to attend the party and to become members of the "public spirited ranks of the American Legion," Ralph Ettel. historian of Post 15, emphasized. An anniversary also is an appropriate time. Ettrl said, to review some of the out standing projects in which Le gion and auxiliary members have participated. In this classification, he placed the annual March of Dimes. Gene Garner.

The also argued over whether it was proper for the state to regulate the size of a bread pan. The testimony was given before the House committee on food and dairying on a bill to give the state agricul ture department authority to regulate the size of bread. The committee also has before it a bill that would require loaves to bear weight labels one inch high. Balloon Loaves Boom Each bill is aimed at the balloon loaf: A one pound loaf baked in a one and one half pound pan to make it fluffier. Produced mainly by seven or eight wholesale bakeries, it has boomed in the past three years. Ben Bernhard of the Ore gon Retail Bakers said it was deceiving the housewife and damaging the small retail bak er. "What unsuspecting consu mer would not reach for the largest loaf with the lowest price?" he asked. "The decep tion has worked in Oregon. "Retail bakers are unable to cope with high pressure promotion schemes based on use of balloon bread as a gimmick." Sam Fletcher of the Whole sale Continental Baking com pany replied the consumer was not misled. He read one of his firm's bread labels ex plaining clearly the loaf's weight and the way it was made. Fletcher said the consumer likes the balloon loaf because it is "good to eat, makes crisper toast and better sand wiches." Would Require Changes The legislature has no busi ness restricting competition and free enterprise by regu lating bread loaf sizes, he said. Bernhard said the labeling proposal also would make the retail bakers unhappy, since it would require changes in the small bakeries' packaging methods. Fletcher said he would not mind additional labeling re quirements. Gene Davidson of Davidson Bakeries, a wholesaler, said balloon loaves were a product of advances in baking proces ses. He said bakeries needed freedom In use of equipment in order to develop better kinds of bread. The Holsum corporation of Medford said restriction of balloon loaves would hurt the firm's bread sales in Northern California, causing the lay off of as many as 20 men at the Medford bakery. several posts in Jackson coun ty who gave their support to The March of Dimes." Ettel said. The auxiliary of the Jack sonville Centennial post head ed up "The Mother's March." On the national scene. Com mander James E. Powers call ed upon little Jimmic Bog gess, March of Dimes poster boy, posing with the child to emphasize the Legion's sup port of the drive which now fights birth defects as well as polio. The Legion and auxiliary throughout county, slate and nation cooperate annually in this campaign. Ettel noted.

Ph. 77J.J371 Tax Committee Preparing Bills for Special Session Salem -IUPU- The House tax committee is preparing rev enue bills for use at a special legislative session if this ses sion's revenue measures are referred by the voters, it was revealed Thursday night. House Tax Committee Chairman Rep. Richard Eye mann (D-Marcola) said a num ber of bills would be put in final form for a special ses sion. Eyemann's revelation came on the heels of a promise by Robert Bradlee, Oregon To bacco Distributors association, GroupDetermined To Produce New Constitution Salem - IUPD - The Senate committee on constitutional revision joined its house coun terpart Thursday in declar ing it was determined to pro duce a new constitution this Senate Chairman Walter Pearson (D-Portland) opend the joint meeting by announc ing the Senate side had made the same decision the House committee made a few days earlier. The decision calls for the committees to press ahead with the intention of sending a proposed new constitution to the floor- of the legislature, where a two - thirds vote in the House and Senate would send it on to the people. The committees also de cided a few highly controver sial sections might be spun off from the package docu ment to stand or fall on their own. Section by Section The legislative committees were working section by sec tion through the proposed doc ument, written by the Ore gon constitutional revision commission during the past two years. The reapportionment plan in the new document was threatened Thursday, When Pearson told the committees a substitute plan was being drafted by- House Speaker Clarence Barton and Rep. Stafford Hansell (R-Hermis-ton)). Pearson said the substitute would be more acceptable to everybody. The plan in the proposed new document would bring Oregon even closer to the "one man, one vote" princi ple than it is now. it was likely that a Barton Hansell proposal would be nearer Oregon's present re apportionment plan, which still would leave Oregon ahead of the other states in handing out legislative seats on a population basis.

"There is no trouble to beat the tax referral when you take it to the horny handed sons of toil who have to pay for it," he declared. Bradlee hinted there might not be a referral if the legis lature took action to prevent price cutting on cigarettes. The tobacco distributor said a cigarette tax would dry up much business which now comes to Oregon from other states because of the low cost of cigarettes here. "A four cent tax would cost 20 per cent of our business, we are adamant against any thing more than a three cent tax," he stated. Cost of cigarettes is lower in Oregon than in any other state in the nation, he explain ed. Oregon is the only state that does not have some form of tax on tobacco products. Portland Mayor Terry Schrunk again appeared be fore the committee to urge one cent of a cigarette tax should go to cities. Trombley Named New Dean of Students Forest Grove Charles E.
