And it's good business to use Long Distance often... to express with your own voice exactly what you mean. With service so swift and rates so low, Ix)ng Distant is one of the best buys in your business budget. And to get the most out of your service, re member these two tips: 1. Tell the operator the number you want not just the name and address and your call will speed through faster, often withtn 30 seconds. (That's why it's wise to keep a list of the out-of-town telephone numbers you call.) 2. Plan your call in advance and keep notes while you're talking. (That's how you can cover as many business details in three min utes as in an average letter and get your answer right away.)

Reapportionment Discussed William McAllister, state sen ator who is not seeking reelec tion this year, discussed the two proposed plans of legislative re apportionment which, he said, stand the best chance to be on the general election ballot next November. These include the so-called "population plan," and the "bal anced" plan. The first of these provide that representation in both houses of the legislature should be based on population alone, with the provision that no one county may have more than one-third of the members of cither house. Patterned on Congress The balanced plan Is pat terned somewhat after the sys tem of federal congressional rep- ere-ce! y you 25 PIUS -in - - j "v a aiw' i m t , i Jl - . 9 "WV U' X iV X ZGrSu Tuesday.

I his would be more apt to insure, McAllister said, that lightly populated areas would receive representation they need to look after their own interests. He cited the development of the west which could not have been accomplished, he said, un less each of the western states, with their small populations, had had equal representation in the senate. Tells Reasons The senator also discussed the reasons why the legislature has not followed the constitutional mandate to reapportion the sys tem of representation every 10 years. These reasons include the fact that the population has grown more or less evenly in most areas of the state, and that Ihe system of representation has worked "pretty fairly" in the past. At the conclusion of the meet ing it was announced that the newly formed precinct No. 25, in Shady Cove, will have a re publican rally at The Shack at 7 p. m April 21. Candidates for election will be welcome to at tend, she said.

Destitute Family Of Migrant Worker Seeks Welfare Aid New York. Mar. 2B (U.R) William O'Brien, 35. and his fam ily of six, who backtracked on the trail of migrant workers by quitting California for New York, sought aid today from city welfare authorities.

A tent and awning maker, O'Brien said he had not worked for more than a year. He decid ed to head for New York when their savings ran out and they could no longer pay the $15 a week rent for their Los Angeles apartment.
