LB (Far the North Caratiaa Bar AaaaehUtM) RIGHT OF PRIVACY Does a person have a legal cause of action if his picture is taken on the street or other public place without his consent and published in a newspaper cr displayed on television? The general rule through out the country is that there is no legal cause of action. When a person goes upon the street or highway or into any other public place he exhibits his features to public in spection. The decisions indicate that anything visible in a public place may be re corded and given circula tion by means of a photo graph or moving pictures, to the same extent as a written description.

It has been said to be no invasion of one’s priv acy to do no more than follow him about in public places or to take his pho tograph in such places. A record may also be made of his public acts and pub lished. All of us, tp some exr tent, lead lives exposed to the public gaze or to pub lic inquiry and complete privacy does not exist in this world except for the hermit in some secluded area. Those of us who are not hermits must expect the more or less usual cas ual observations of our neighbors and the passing public as to what we do.

To a very great extent the press, with its experience or in stinct as to what the pub lic will want, has succeed ed in making its own def inition of news. If a person is in an un usual accident and finds his picture in the paper the next morning, perhaps he has no legal complaint j even though he is the most: inconspicuous of private ci- ' tizeng. Caught up and entangled in this news and public interest are a great many people who have never sought publicity. They may be the timid and the shy, or the accused criminals, who have assiduously tried to avoid it. But when they go into public places they lose to some extent their right of privacy. Professor Prosser of the i University of California, in j an article on the subject, j has said: “The misfortunes j of the frantic woman whose husband Is murdered be fore her eyes, or the inno cent bystander who is caught in a raid on a cigar store and mistaken by the police for the proprietor, can be broadcast to the world, and they have no remedy. Such Individuals become public figures for a season; and until they have reverted to the law ful and unexciting life led by the great bulk of the community, they are sub- j [ ject to the privileges which 1 publishers have to satisfy I j the curiosity of the public as to their leaders, heroes, villians and victims. Sunday School Lesson Continued From Pago L must be willing to do our humble best to approxi mate the attributes of His nature if we are to be worthy of Him. And the harder it is for us to do so, the harder we must strive, for only by giving of ourselves unstintingly can we be in true com munion with the Holy Trinity. We cannot live the Chris tian life without the help of Christ. We cannot be worthy of His help if we are unwilling to sacrifice and discipline ourselves in His ways. ITS UP TO US!
