Southern California Print Officers (This article is reprinted from the May, 1947 issue of Finger Print and Identification Magazine. Thanks to Sarah Watson, LASD for this historical tidbit.) When Southern California fingerprint officers dined as guests of the California Institute for Men at Chino, Cal., they found reason to envy the life of a convict. Deluxe cuisine featured broiled New York cut steaks and apple pie ala mode. Musician inmates of the prison provided music to lend atmosphere in the best cafe tradition. Such elaborate settings, of course, are not standard on the prison bill of fare. The occasion was the March meeting of the Southern California Association of Finger Print Officers, held at the Institute on an invitation extended by prison officials. West Coast Invitation I. A. S. students and other finger print men planning trips to the West Coast will find hospitality awaiting them at the hands of the Southern California Association. Mr. J. M. Head, Sec.-Treas. of the group, has written the editor ; "Advise your students, or any other fingerprint men, that if they happen to be in Southern California on the first Friday after the 6th of each month, and would care to attend one of our meetings, they can contact me and I will make the necessary arrangements." (Editor--While the meetings have moved to the first Saturday of the even numbered months, the invitation still stands. Women involved in the profession are also welcome. You can contact any of the Executive Board for more details.)
