Thirty-FOur Wards And Mayor Urged By Lead
 CTS Of Movement

Thirty-fOur wanas. 34 aldermen and A mayor will be urged for B1rming- ham by the forces behind the movement to scrap the present. commission form of city government .jF was learned Friday.
 Hunter Armstrong, leader of the moyeFne1dt. has been assured of wide spread support from many prominent men and women. and the campaign will be, formally launched with mass meeting next week
 L. K. Bowen, county registrar. and a member of the Jefferson county dele gation in the state legislature. has joined hands and forces with Mir Arm strong. He and Armstrong will be among the active leaders of the fight that lies just ahead
 Birmingham unguestiOnably needs reform in its city gOvernmenr- Mr. Bowen said And I ann glad to g1ve my aid to the movement Mir Armstrong started. The present commission SyS- tenn has failed utterly to measure up to the things said of 1t before 1t be came effective Besides, Birmingham now is too big to be governed and com trolled by five commissioners elected from the city at large This plan leaves the ma iOrity of the sections of the city without any real representation have sounded out public sentiment and am confident that the people would vote overwhelmingly for a return to the mayor -aldermanic form
 Under the proposed plan- the alder man would be chosen by a vote only of the citizens in their repsective wards The mayor, of course, w0Illd be elected at large
 Territory Appointed
 Old Birmingham or the territory COW cred by Beats Fl and B. would be entitled to If aldermen The others would be apportiOned as foll0ws= West End, 5; East Lake .: Pratt City, 2s woodlawn. ?; East Birmimgham, Il Avondale. 1; North Birmingham, 2; Ensley, i; Wylam, l.
 Under this system leaders of the reform movement point Out- every community would have one of It's own citizens to represent it i'm city c0wRcll- Thus, the city would have a govern menr that would be at once -reSPTu- sive" to the wishes of the people, 1t IS stated.
 While leaders of the mOvement are laying their plans to begim their drive in earnest next week. the SO-czlAed '-standpatters,' who favor the reten- tion of the present governmental Struc- ture, are also making ready to fight back. This latter group will probably be led by some of the 'Old-timerS at the city hall.
 Whether the new form of govern noant ror1d he ASrsh7IxMesF vrSrhmmr HenTS- tative action has not yet been definitely determined MT Armstrong believes the present law is ample, while city hall leaders say further action by the Re=is- lature after the people have voted Representative BOwem will lead the the fight for the proposed changes

Perhaps there is no bakery in the South that guards the quality and purity of their bread as closely as the Ameri- can Bakeries Company do theirs.
 It is through these labora- tory tests that Merita Bread is proven for it's superior favor, purity, richness and di- gestibility.
 Merita Bread is as good for infants and the aged as it is for youths who have perfect digestions. Remember Merita Bread when you want real good purity proven bread.
