EDITORIAL LET'S NOT PLAY WITH JUSTICE Who suffers most when a moratorium is set on capital punishment? The murderer? The state? Society? All three will suffer. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth is a principle of justice dating back centuries. It is the law of the Old Testament. It is the moral rule upon which civilizations have been built — and preserved. Capital punishment is an instrument that definitely preserves the social order. It curbs pre-meditated violence. It rids society of murderers. A moritorium on capital punishment could be the beginning of the end. It could be the first step toward an amoral society. The framework of all society rests on the cornerstone of Justice. The State cannot afford to weaken the structure which supports it. Personal sentiments cannot interfere. Right is right. The state cannot indulge in patience and kindness to wrongdoers when the wrong has been deliberate and calculating. Each case must be judged on its own merits. Each conviction is open to appeal. Many would say much on a moratorium on capital punishment but no one can question the right of the state to demand a man forfeit his life to pay for his wrongs. The state must continue to demand that forfeiture. Society must demand it. We cannot afford morally to play with principles of truth and justice.

Heth, District Manager for Pacific Telephone. This is an increase of 13,400 since the 1962 edition of "The World's Telephones" was released by the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Other figures in the report are as of January 1, 1962, since it takes a year to collect and compile the data from some 175 countries around the world. Bell System telephone users now can dial 98 per cent of all the world's telephones. According to the yearbook, there were 150 million telephones in the world at the beginning of 1962, gain of 8.3 million in 1961. As of January 1, 1962, the United States had 77.4 million, nearly 42 per 100 persons. Today there are 80 million in the U. S. Russia had about 5.1 million, or two telephones for every 100 persons. However, Russia had a greater percentage gain in 1961 than any other major country — 19 per cent. The U. S. S. R. still ranked sixth in total telephones. The U. S. ranked first, with 52 per cent of the world's total. Canadians again apparently used their telephones more than anyone else. They averaged 551 conversations a year per person. The U. S. was second with 529 conversations per person, while Iceland was third with 457.

The usher leaped to my rescue and I made my exit up the other aisle clutching his arm. I took a seat on the aisle three rows back from the stage. Beside me on the floor was a two-foot square box wrapped in burlap and tied with rope. Behind me, not five feet away, an open door led to what appeared to be a garden off-stage. Above the door was a loft. The lights went out and in the darkness I could make out shadows moving about on stage, and behind me I heard considerable scuffling coming from the loft. The lights went on again revealing an old couple sitting at a parlor table. They began to converse. A movement to my right caught my eye. A long pole with a hook on the end of it was descending from the loft. I jumped back and watched it head for the box where it made three or four clumsy swipes at the rope. I looked up. Three men in prison garb were manipulating the pole from a crouched position in the loft. The scenery, a wall with a door and an open window in it, swayed under their weight. Dead Ringer I thought of leaving my seat before it all came down on me but in analyzing it I saw that if I kept a position leaning slightly to the right, the wall would fall neatly around me leaving me sticking up unharmed through the window. The three made another pass at the box, but missing my leg as well as the box. On impulse I grabbed the pole and hooked it around the rope. "Take it away," I said in a stage whisper. The people around me applauded and I acknowledged the tribute with a gracious smile. It turned out I had one of the best seats in the house because N'T LOOSEN THAT GRASP!

An excellent example is Miss Anita P. Loeber, senior administrative analyst in the management division of the office of the Los Angeles County's Chief Administrator. She has just been named "Man of the Year" among top international management executives. She is the first woman ever to win this award, and also the first person engaged in governmental service to be so honored. Work reduction and management techniques are Miss Loeber's specialty. She has devised the highest standards of management engineering. She has written books on the subject plus many articles and pamphlets. 'Man of the Year' In June last year, Miss Loeber completed her term as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the Systems and Procedures Association, and later was named chairman of the association's newly formed executive council of Southern California chapters. She was previously designated "Man of the Year" by the West Coast regional branches of Systems and Procedures.

In Los Angeles on Saturday by John Robarts, an attorney. Roger Moore was shot in the hand Robarts was in a barber shop in which also was Thomas Ocampo. The latter applied an offensive epithet to Robarts who warned him not to repeat it. The warning being unheeded Robarts drew pistol and fired at Ocampo, and at that moment Col. Moore rushed forward and grasped the pistol, receiving the bullet in his hand. The wound is painful but not dangerous. Mr. F. Conrad has just finished cutting down the eucalyptus trees in front of the Tivoli Garden. From sixty trees he obtained twelve cords of logs, besides several cords of smaller wood. The logs are worth $7 per cord for use in breweries or distilleries. The trees were eight years old and planted seven feet apart.
