The bill, together hte military training item, passed ‘The bill, providing an appropria- tion of $1,219,171, included $37,210 for military and physical training. This Grew opposition from several mem- bers, but was defended by Senator Lynn Sperry, Bismarck, who termed on training as important to the stu- en\ It was pointed out, before the vote was taken, that a ‘major portion of the fund for military training was used for physical training. “I have been in the military serv- ice, and of all experience, there is nothing of which I am so proud,” Sen- ator Sperry said. “We should give the young man good training. Before they are fit to command, they should be fit to obey, and that holds good in any walk of life. “The time of the Civil war, when you gave a man a musket and he was prepared for war, is past. War- fare is of a technical nature now, and in the event of war, we need effi- cient officers.” CIGARETTE WRAPPER OPINION REVERSED Attorney General's Office Holds Cellophane Not Illegal in North Dakota Decision that it is legal to) sell cigarettes wrapped in cellophane was announced Wednesday by the attor- ney general’s office. In an open letter addressed to North Dakota cigarette dealets, the state's legal department said it has been advised that state tax stdmps may be securely attached to cigarette packages wrapped in cellophane and that, if this is done, sale of such packages is legal. In a previous opinion the attorney general held that sale of cigarette packages wrapped in cellophane was illegal because the tax stamps could not be securely affixed to them. The open letter asserting sale of cellophane - wrapped cigarette pack- ages to be legal, follows: “A short time ago the attorney general gave an opinion, relative to cellophane as @ wrapping for cigar- ette packages. This opinion was based upon the belief that stamps would not adhere to cellophane, We have since learned that with a little extra work on the part of the dealer, the stamps can be securely affixed. “If the cellophane is rubbed slight- ly with either steel wool, fine sand Paper or emery paper, all stamps can be made to securely adhere to this sort of a wrapper. “This department desires to call clearly to your attention the fact that you will be held personally responsi- ble for any failure to properly affix the stamp, and the purpose of this letter. is merely to advise you of a method of complying with the state law in the event you desire to sell arettes wrapped in cellophane. ‘While, as above stated, it has been demonstrated to us that the stamps may be made to adhere, it is never- theless the duty of the dealer to see @ it that the stamps do actually ad- ere, “Yours very truly, “R.
