Park. Mrs. G. W. Rugg. Mrs. Kenneth
McRae and others, while DR.. l.. U.
Temple and several ladies spoke in
opposition.
Some of the opponents condemned
dancing as immoral whether held in
the high school or elsewhere while
others opposed the proposition under
consideration on the ground that the
school building was public property
and should not be used for purposes
to which any part OF the public was
opposed. The champions of the plan
contended that inasmuch as it has
long been the habit of the students TO
hold dances in downtown halls, II
would be much better to have these
dances held where the faculty and
parents could supervise them. When
finally put to a vote their contentious
were upheld by almost a 3 to 1 vote.
At the meeting a constitution was
adopted and the organization perfect
ed Plans for the next meeting Of the
boys forum were also made.

THE CIGARETTE ORDINANCE

Some persons have become confused
by differences existing between the
local and the state anti-cigarette leg
islation. While the state law fOrbids
the sale of cigarettes merely 10 per
sons less than IS years old, the COlum-
is, persons less than u years old The
second section of the councils decree,
making it misdemeanor, punishable by
fine, for a minor between 10 and IS
years of age. to smoke or use cigar
cites in any public place. is in perfect
accord with the state law The fines
To be assessed for the violation of
either the state law or the local or
dinance are the same.
without looking further into the
subject, one would think that the city
had again exceeded its authority in
prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to
minors. when the state law merely ap-
plies to persons less than IS years
old. But the Columbia ordinance is
authorized by another state law which
gives cities of the third class the power
To prohibit the sale of cigarettes to
minors
Thus the legality of this final at
tempt of the City Council to regulate
the sale and use of cigarettes is per-
fectly established. Nothing remains
for the city To do but to enforce the
ordinance.
