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

Medford Firm
Says Restriction
Would Hurt Sales
Salem - IUPD - Bakeries de
bated here Tuesday night
whether the housewife buys
"balloon bread" because she
is fooled or because it "eats
better."
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.

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

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.

to refer a cigarette tax of four
cents a pack or more to the
people.
"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.
