A humorous essay recalls smoking dangers with a doctor’s warning and a string of failed quit attempts. It parodies methods from Silly Putty to bizarre nicotine substitutes, notes a Tareyton holder gimmick, and ends with barroom quips about quakes and crowd reactions.
In Sacramento the Senate Transportation Committee killed the stronger anti bill by Assemblyman Edwin Zbere aimed at removing billboards from state and federal highways. A weaker measure restricting signboards within federal interstate routes and raising license fees from 65 to 130 dollars was approved to keep federal highway fund bonuses.
In a tight Assembly Finance and Insurance Committee vote California savings and loan interests won a key battle over a bill allowing the Savings and Loan Commissioner to audit holding companies that control most of the state associations. The measure, backed reluctantly by officials, faces possible litigation as amendments expand who is covered and even open federal entities to state audits.
In Sacramento the Assembly backed a plan to curb aggressive telemarketing with an optional asterisk next to names in phone directories. Assemblyman William Stanson of San Jose introduced a resolution calling for an interim study of possible regulations to let subscribers mark they do not wish to hear from salesmen.
Negotiations on social welfare funding limit new programs to the existing ceiling and reserve veto power over plans by next day. The deal deletes 15 million for two Sacramento state buildings, reduces central heating and cooling costs, and saves 3 million in unspecified Finance Department cuts.
Diane Duguay 21 of Fullerton fainted while feeding her infant son Gregory Scott Duguay. The baby suffered a skull fracture and died at St Lucie Hospital. LeRoy Duguay 26 found them on the kitchen floor after returning from work near 1145 am.
Sacramento announces that an initiative to set up a privately operated state lottery qualified for the November ballot. If voters approve, a constitutional amendment would grant American Sweepstakes Corp a 10 year monopoly. The plan faces opposition from Gov Brown and lawmakers. The corporation would sell $2 tickets and take 3 percent of gross receipts, with the rest shared between the state, prizes, operating costs, and public school support. A state buildings standard commission would oversee ticket machines. The Assembly has passed the measure and sent it to the Senate.
A proposed ballot measure would ban inserting into the constitution a provision requiring a private firm to perform a state job. If approved by the Senate, it would appear on the November ballot. If it receives more votes than the private lottery plan, it would nullify that plan.
Fragmentary OCR yields a public notice from Independent Daily Long Reach Cant Enugred. It mentions adjudication by a county court, likely Anceres County, with monthly charges listed and a monetary figure of 250 dollars and 30 dollars. Names and precise dates are unreadable.
