SAVED BY THE BELL? You know you...

SAVED BY THE BELL? You know you have to tell these folks when you move: the phone company, utilities, your bosses, the post office. How about voter registration? Donald Tanney has worked out a deal to make it easier for you to keep your registration up to date when you move: Pacific Bell will tuck a voter registration form into your new white pages. . . . Tanney expects the pilot plan to produce 50,000 new and properly registered voters countywide in the next several months.

INFLATED OPINION? Baseball America magazine doesn’t think much of the California Angels’ rebuilding plans. It ranks the Halos just 26th out of 28 major league teams going into the 1994 season. But maybe the magazine’s opinion was too high. . . . Right now the Angels are 28th--the only team playing under .200 in the win / loss column. Better years down the road? Baseball America ranks the Angels’ farm system just 24th out of 28.

DOUBLE LESSON: Irvine’s Short Stature Foundation has released a new book--”Dwarfism, the Family and Professional Guide”--that’s aimed at two audiences. The book’s editor, Richard Crandall, wants to educate families, doctors and communities about dwarfism. . . . But Crandall, who is 3 feet, 10 inches tall, hopes the book will also help dwarfs better cope with a frequently unsympathetic world. . . . Crandall knows from experience: “I’m 53, and there’s not a day that goes by that somebody doesn’t point at me or laugh at me.”

MONEY TRAIL: After a big advertising campaign against the San Joaquin Hills tollway last year, environmentalists said on Internal Revenue Service forms that the Laguna Beach-based Homeland Foundation--created by heirs to the Getty oil fortune--helped pay the bills. Now some call it a misunderstanding, that the foundation wasn’t involved, but perhaps one of its people. The IRS forms have been amended to list the $31,000 donation as anonymous.
