Out-of-town suppliers, customers and
salesmen are only minutes away
when you call Long Distance. 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

resenlation. with weight being
given both to population and to
geographical areas. . 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

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.
O'Brien, his wife and their five
children were found yesterday
sleeping in the 16-year-old jalopy
in which they made a 10-day
cross-country journey from Los
Angeles in search of work.
Eating From Cans
Tired and hungry, the fam
ily had been living in the car for
more than a week eating out of
cans.
The O'Briens reached New
York on St. Patrick's day, but
not even the luck of the Irish on
that festive occasion held out
for the destitute little group.
Policemen sent them to the
welfare department's women's
shelter where they stayed the
week-end. But they had to leave
because ownership of their bro
ken down car disqualified them
from further aid.
O'Brien tried to sell the car
but $7 was the top offer, so the
family parked out on city streets
while he looked in vain for work.
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.
Children Fed
Mrs. Mae Meyer, a gas station
owner, befriended the penniless
family yesterday. She fed the
children, who range in age from
one to 10, bread, milk and soup,
but was unable to provide a place
to sleep.
The city finally allowed Mrs.
O'Brien. 33. and her children to
return to the women's shelter.
O'Brien drove his car onto a
parking lot and stretched out on
the back seat for another night.
