Informal Westminster Phone Probe Launched; Extended Service Planned WESTMINSTER (OCNS)—An informal investigation into the problems of Westminster exchange area and contiguous exchanges has swung into action this week under direction of Melvin Mezek, senior engineer of the California Public Utilities Commission Los Angeles office. Mezek and Lyman Anderson, PUC public relations director, both met Monday morning with a group of Westminster residents and merchants who have pushed a petition movement in the tri-city area. The petition asks for (1) better toll service out of and into Westminster exchanges right now; and (2) speed-up of projected plans for extended service between Pacific Telephone Co. and General Telephon Co. exchanges. Result of the meeting with the PUC official was the initiation of an informal investigation of the problems cited in the petition to the PUC by Mezek's staff. Application Made He told the group that General Telephone Company had made application for extended service on May 4 and that Pacific Telephone Company had filed its studies on the problem on July 8, although they had not made application as yet for extended service into this area. Pacific Phone Company Manager John Buchart meanwhile told OCNS that his company is now in the process of filing an application before the State PUC for extended service into Westminster and contiguous areas in cooperation with General Telephone Company. Mezek told the group that he would have a report to make back to them within "two or three weeks" which would set forth the two main complaints cited in the statement released to OCNS signals a move now underway on a formal application for extended service into the Westminster Exchange area by the Pacific Telephone Company. The announcement was made by Pacific Telephone Company District Manager J. C. Buchart, Anaheim. Long-range significance of the move will be to remove the last procedural step required before the Public Utilities Commission can schedule hearings on the extended service applications of both General and Pacific Telephone Companies which would make toll-free dialing calls possible for thousands of phone subscribers of both companies in the West Orange County area. At present no dialing service is possible between the West Orange County users of General and those served by Pacific in the rest of the county. Companies Cooperating Buchart's statement reports "Pacific Telephone is agreeable to providing extended service into Westminster and contiguous areas and we are now in the process of preparing the formal application to be presented to the Public Utilities Commission. This is being done in full cooperation with the General Telephone Company." At the same time he told OCNS that the lack of needed new switchboard positions in the Anaheim office of the Pacific Telephone Company is the main problem regarding "110" calls which originate from or go into the Westminster area. He declared the same problem holds true for "110" calls throughout Orange County however. Frank Atzet, newly-appointed Scoutmaster for Troop 82, Stanton, is most anxiously looking for interested parents and friends of scouting who are willing to help the boys in the Boy Scout program. He has been told that many of the newcomers to this area have helped in scout work, and that a number of them are quite anxious to have their sons active in the program. Opportunity for interested persons to talk to Frank is so how they might help is as close as your telephone. His phone is JAckson 7-2080. Plans called for the annual charter review meeting for Troop 82 on Aug. 17. With the start of school in September it is hoped that committeeemen and other helpful services will be available for the boys. Incidentally, those who have been closely associated with the troop feel that we're mighty lucky to have fellows like Frank Atzet and Paul Harrison who give unselfishly of their time for the boys. Some 300 fans of the Stanton Little Leaguers filled one of the two stands to capacity at Southwest Little League Park near Excelsior high school Monday afternoon, and went home after six exciting innings of real ball very enthusiastic about the boys, but also a little disappointed. It was a tight game, with a final score of 10 to 8 in favor of Little Lake. A three-run homer in the fourth inning decided the ball game in favor of Fullerton Planners Okay, 185 Lots on Three Maps. PACIFIC PHONE COMPANY MANAGER John Buchart meanwhile told OCNS that his company is now in the process of filing an application before the State PUC for extended service into Westminster and contiguous areas in cooperation with General Telephone Company. Mezek told the group that he would have a report to make back to them within "two or three weeks" which would set forth the two main complaints cited in the petitions now being circulated—a plea for better "110" service now; and speed up on extended service engineering in the future. Both Pacific and General Telephone Companies are involved since Pacific's Anaheim office handles Westminster's General toll calls. He showed the group of merchants and residents the plans proposed for extended service by General Phone Company which would allow Westminster exchange users to dial exchanges in Garden Grove Santa Ana Huntington Beach, Terminal Exchange (Eastern Long Beach) and Cypress (South of Buena Park boundary.) Permits Issued for 22 New Dwelling Units City Building Inspector, Homer Wallace, issued building permits today for 22 single dwelling units to be located in the west part of Anaheim, between Broadway and Orange avenues. The tract, developed by Tedmar Development Company of Beverley Hills, is made up of 40 lots, 22 of which received permits this morning.

A three-run in the fourth inning dee ball game in favor of the winners. Even then the fireworks weren't over, but spectacular base stealing by Rubidoux and Donal Yonts went for naught when the former was tagged out on third after a double steal, and Yonts was ruled out at home plate, after stealing his way on errors clear around the circuit. Bouquets to Stan Underwood who did a splendid job coaching the Stanton club and to Eusebio Cabral who pitched all six innings while Little Lake took three pitchers to finally win the game.
