The seniors have sold all of their candy bars and are order ing another shipment, which should arrive in about a week and a half Home Bakery Law Clarified Mrs Ora Bolmeier was a substitute, for Mrs. Alvida Hearing, Tuesday November 2t) and also substitute for Mr. Gary Curtis. Wednesday 21, while they attended meetings for future graduation requirements A law passed by the 1973 Legislature requiring the licens ing of some home bakery kitch ens has set off alarm among some fraternal, religious, social and service organizations who have traditionally conducted occasional liake sales to raise funds, but the law does not apply to those who donate baked goods to such nonprofit organizations. The State Department of Agri culture, responsible for licensing bakeries, has obtained an attorney general's opinion which in effect exempts home kitchens from licensing if the person doing the baking does not do so for money and no license is rtxjui required of the organization sellit: ling such donated goods as long as it is a bonafide nonprofit oganization. In other words a woman who bakes cakes, pies and cookies for the church bazaar or sim ilar fund-raising events, may do so without a license if she does not charge for the food The law does apply, however, to the housewife who wants to pick up a little extra cash by selling her baked goods. The attorney general’s office cautioned the department to watch some organizations that might cross the line from simple fund raising to a frequent com mericial venture In such a case, the organization and perhaps its bakers might then be required to obtain licenses The library of Vernonia High School has a new TV to replace the one that was stolen.
