 THE AGE-h ERALAD n..nn-1~x Alb Nnrah ,


 Following the second failure of the county health board milk inspection ordinance to pass the Bessemer city council club women of Bessemer were busy Wednesday organizing a mass meeting to be held Monday al ing is to be called for the purpose of having council members explain their position in turning down the county ordinance, and to inform the the milk controversy.
 The ordinance defeated at the Tuesday session of the city council was drafted by Dr. J. D. Bowling county health officer, and Is now enforced in Birmingham and Fair field. Dr. Bowling has urged its adoption at Bessemer in order te have uniform law for all three cities in the county.
 The milk ordinance has been . bone of contention for the past five months. Tho county health depart ment has urged the passage of the Bowling law, while the Dairymen's association has fought this step, of fering substitute ordinance. Botf sides have bitterly assailed each other. At meeting of the council two weeks ago representatives oi several womens clubs and the Ro- tary club appeared, asking that the Bowling ordinance be adopted. Al & previous meeting a favorable vote of six aldermen supposedly assured its passage. At the Tuesday council meeting the same ordinance was de- feated
 The women of the city have been intensely interested in the adoption of the Bowling ordinance. Their leaders state that this indorsemen: was given in the belief thk the ordinance was best for the needs of the city. and in view of the re- versal of opinion by the council they wish an expression from that body as to faults in the county law as proposed by Dr. Bowling.
 The Mems Luncheon club of the city will also appoint committees to attend the Monday mass meeting in- cluding the Rotary. Kiwanis and Civitan clubs. The city council will be asked to attend the meeting in a body, while representatives of the coInty health department, fn- cluding Dr. Bowling. stated that they would also attend. officers of the Quest club, the Culture club, the Rotary Ann clubs are among the women's organizations taking the initiative in calling the mass meet ing.
 Those organizing the mass meet ing wish to have every civic inter est represented in an attempt to set tie. if possible. the milk controversy satisfactorily to all parties.
