Sf of Be 'Reasonable' Enforcing a New Bread Law JEFFERSON CITY, Nov. 23. ft while this fall Missouri's commercial bread bakers were In turtnoil. And some are still pretty upset. Missouri's legislature last spring passed a model weights and measures law.

The banking industry didn't notice one section in it. That tectlon requires that each loaf of bread sold fit retail, either sliced Or unsllced, must weigh a half pound, a pound, a pound and a half or A multiple of one pound. After the bill became law last Aug. 29, the bakers suddenly found Cut what it mrant to them. The Wholesale Bakers Association said it would cost members about a million dollars to replace old bread pans and oven trays to comply with the weight requirements.

Affects Chains. Too That didn't include the big chain bakers, like Atlantic Pacific, Krogers and Safeway. It Would cost them thousands, too. Many bakers produce 20 or 22- mince loaves and some say they would have difficulty adding the necessary extra dough in the old plans to make a 24-ounce, or pound and ft half loaf. A bigger loaf produced slicing and wrapping problems, too, the bakers said.

The new weights and measures act must be administered by the Department of Agriculture. John Sam Williamson, the agriculture commissioner, said today the bread section is Just a part of a model law asked by the Retail Industry for Packaged Foods. He said the department will enforce the act but meanwhile, the inspectors still are undergoing intensive training. Williamson said he could not predict just when full enforcement will be possible. Bakers Aren't to Worry Anyway, he said, "We will have a reasonable attitude and I don't see now any Justification for too much concern by the baking industry." He said the bakers themselves have in the past asked for a law specifying bread loaf sizes, Williamson has been investigating the weights and measures acts of other states as well as those of the National Bureau of Standards trying to establish Missouri's enforcement procedures.

"I'm hopeful of working Rome- thlng out with these bakers," he said. The act also provides limits in variation of actual weight or volume to labeled weight or volume of most packaged merchandise Wrongly labeled packages may be seized. Violations may be prosecuted as misdemeanors. Fumes Hospitalize 500 High School Students Were Attending Songfeai at Oklahoma State U. STILLWATEB, Nov.

Town of Stet Has Lived Up to Its Name Stet, Nov.

24 A stranger visiting in Stet recently asked where the town got such a strange name. The answer la known to all adult people in the vicinity who have had to answer the same query many times. "It is Latin, the subjunctive mood of the Latin verb Sto," the answer will come glibly, echoing the teaching either of a careful teacher or a parent. It means "Let it stand." Still the visitor may look puzzled at the explanation and ask, "what does that mean?" Finally the basic explanation will come out. About 74 years go many small towns in Missouri were short lived; also many towns were being given Latin names in a growing fashion to cater to the classics.

The town founder decided on this Latin word both as a display of knowledge and also as a prayer that his new town would not be a brief settlement as many other new towns were turning out to be. His prayer answered, for Stet still stands. The Constitution-Tribune Chilllicothe, Mo. PAGE TUESDAY, NOV. 24,1959 Huge Savings Deposit Fraud Is Disclosed of Operations an surance Firm In Morocco.
