Colony Quips (Continued from page 1) is suggested by one of the groups upon which the proponents of the regulation are leaning for support to close the vital records. Mrs.Herbert W.Richards, chairman of the San Francisco community chest, recognizes the right of anyone to inspect the vital records and simply suggests certain changes so as to delete items "which are of a technical or personal nature and which have no particular bearing on the verification of the individual's birth date and place of birth." As for the claim that the use of records by "commercial interests" to solicit business is an "improper use" of public records a circular was sent to a selected list of new mothers asking their views. The results could have only been embarrassing to those who seek to close the records, since 75 per cent of the returns indicated the advertising was welcomed. This result notwithstanding the regulation is still being sought. To the credit of Dr.Wilton L.Halverson, the state director of public health, and the other members of the State Board of Health, they have so far refused to adopt such regulations. Dr.Halverson has declared he believes the question of the availability of vital records to public inspection is one of policy which can only be decided by the legislature. But Dr.Halverson's views are not shared by all those who have control over vital records. Dr.Frank L.Kelly, health officer of the city of Berkeley sees things in an entirely different way. Openly conceding the administrative code under which his fice receives its authority "states the records are open to the injunction." Laguna Beach. Miss Lucile Brus, a sister of Elmer, lives at Peoria, Illinois, but is spending the summer months here. Mrs. Charles Cleveland of West Anaheim, left Monday for a visit to her old home near St. Joseph, Missouri. She will be absent a month.

PLAN TO MARRY A marriage license was obtained by Merle Preston Dixon and Anita Jacqueline Sain, both of Garden Grove, this week at the county court house in Santa Ana. ability of vital records to public inspection is one of policy which can only be decided by the legislature. But Dr. Halverson's views are not shared by all those who have control over vital records. Dr. Frank L. Kelly, health officer of the city of Berkeley sees things in an entirely different way. Openly conceding the administrative code under which his face receives its authority "states the records are open to the inspection of the public," Dr. Kelly opines, "this is an antiquated, out-of-date procedure." Then Dr. Kelley blandly admits "we have never followed the procedure outlined in the administrative code because we have felt that it is detrimental to the public health to have these records used for commercial purposes." The philosophy advanced by Dr. Kelly offers to make the issue transcend the question of whether or not vital records are to continue to be open to public inspection. Virtually all records kept by government agencies are, from time to time, inspected by "commercial interests." A newspaper which seeks to keep the public informed as to the records and actions of its public bodies is, in a sense, a "commercial interest." If one administrative agency can successfully defy code provisions and for any whim close official records to public inspection it follows others can as well and the public may soon find its way barred to all records kept by government. Tommie Browne, son of Mrs. Alberta Browne of 1011 East Broadway, Anaheim, has returned after enjoying a visit with his cousins, Buddy and Helen Budd, son and daughter of K. B. Budd, of Fresno.

Experienced long distance users keep paper and pencil at the telephone and make notes while they're talking, too. 2. When you place your call, you can save time all around if you give the information to your long distance operator this way: First, the name of town you're calling...then, the number if you know it, or the address. (Good idea to keep a list of the out-of-town numbers you call most frequently.) Next, if it's a person call, give the name of the one you want to talk with. The operator will then ask your name and number. 3. When you complete your call, be sure to hang up promptly—and properly. If you remember to use these pointers every time you call long distance, you'll be certain of getting the most from your call for the least money. With really efficient use of the telephone, you can pack as many words into a three-minute conversation as you can in a letter—and you'll get an answer to your questions right away. 4. Also use of the telephone—either local or long distance—helps you get the greatest value from it. And service is constantly growing more valuable. A local call is still just a few pennies. And you can make a daytime station call from coast to coast for only $2.50, plus tax. Your telephone is one of today's biggest bargains. The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company
