Allen Captures Speakers' Trophy. The weekly speakers' trophy of the Anaheim Toastmasters No. 2 Club was won by R. H. Allen with a speech titled "You Can Do It." Allen assured all men present that they could bake a cake that would taste better than anything pulled out of the oven by their wives. The meeting, held in the Garden Room at Knott's Berry Farm, was featured by a report on the International Convention held in Denver, Colo., Sept. 3., by I. A. McAninch of Culver City, past International president of Toastmasters. President Ray Damerell presided and turned the speaking portion of the program over to Toastmaster Hal Johnson. Speakers other than Hank Allen were Lyle Wallace speaking on the question, "What Is Infinity?", Guy Tester describing the origin of the patriotic song, "America," and Bob Dickey discussing "Final Inspection of the Douglas Globemaster." The speeches were evaluated by head evaluator C. O. Garshwiler. Veteran Character Actor Near Death SANTA MONICA, Calif. (UP)—Character actor Millard Mitchell was reported near death today at St. John's Hospital. The 50-year-old film veteran, best known for his portrayals of western marshals and Army officers, entered the hospital three weeks ago and has been in a coma since Sunday. Mitchell's illness forced his withdrawal from Paramount's "White Christmas." His most recent pictures was "The Naked Spur." His other films included "Singin' in the Rain," "My Six Convicts" and "strictly dishonorable." Assisted by Britt Gray, Chauncy Stillsen and Bill Chambers, Louis Taylor was timekeeper. Table topics, "Impromptu Speaking," was guided by Bill Jones. John C. Meyer of Fullerton was accepted as a new member of the club. If It's News You'll See It In The Bulletin THIS WEEK GET A DOUBLE PAY-OFF! DOUBLE PAY-OFF! on a new MERCURY Get details today from GOGERTY---MERCURY 626 S. Los Angeles St., Anaheim, Calif. Phone 6351 It costs much more to add telephones today Investment per telephone added in 6 prewar years $172 $434 Investment per telephone added in 7 postwar years Buying and building the facilities needed to put new telephones to work now costs more than double what it did in the prewar period. YOUR TELEPHONE'S NUMBER ONE ENEMY How rising costs put a real burden on good service Buying and building the facilities needed to put new telephones to work now costs more than double what it did in the prewar period. YOUR TELEPHONE'S NUMBER ONE ENEMY How rising costs put a real burden on good service Surprisingly, it isn't fire or storm or earthquake... your telephone's biggest problem today is the rising costs of the things we buy to provide telephone service—coupled with low telephone rates which have increased much less than the cost of the things we buy to run the system. New techniques and improved equipment have helped greatly to cut operating costs. But the pressure of high prices is unrelenting. And, since a financially healthy telephone system is so important to good service for you, we believe you'd like to be brought up-to-date on your telephone's biggest problem. Our operating expenses and taxes have shot up $103 per telephone in 1952 $53 per telephone in 1940 Up sharply are our costs of keeping the system running. Operating taxes, for example, have almost doubled—from $10 per telephone in 1940 to nearly $20 in 1952. Average wage rates of telephone people are more than double what they were in 1940. In fact, nearly everything we must buy to keep your telephone on the job costs about twice what it did prewar. With our costs up so much more than our prices, the profit on the investment in facilities for each new telephone has been cut in half. And this is important to your service because it takes profits to attract investors' savings into the business to pay for new facilities needed to meet the continuing telephone demands of the growing Pacific West. Despite our higher costs of building and running the telephone system, the economies we've made have helped keep your telephone a bargain. It carries your messages for just pennies a call.

(Bulletin photo) County Cancer Head Says More Men Than Women in State Died of Disease So many times you hear it said: "Cancer is a woman's disease!" Yet the cold fact of the matter, according to Dr. Samuel Gendel, Chairman of the Cancer Committee of the Orange County Medical Association, is that cancer killed more men than women in California last year. Not very long ago the opposite was true. It was only during the past decade that cancer started taking more than half its victims from among the males. As recently as 1940 the ratio of female to male deaths from cancer was 129.1 to 124.7. who participated in the history-making operation of twenty years ago, play important parts in the film, one of the many The Cancer Society has produced. Santa Ana Sets Up New Section At Filter Center SANTA ANA The Santa Ana Air Defense Filter Center has established a new section for the indoctrination of civilian volunteers into the Ground Observer Corps (GOC) program. Captain Walter G. Andes, Filter Center Commander, announced today. Captain Andes has named S-Sgt. Frank E. Casey, Jr., a non commissioned officer in charge of training volunteer personnel in the duties and functions of the Filter Center, including the methods of plotting, tracking and reporting aircraft movements. Upon completion of this interesting training course the volunteer takes his or her place in the Filter Center as a regular team member. A training room at the Filter Center, second floor, 1012 North Main Street, Santa Ana, has been equipped with a small scale model of the actual board upon which aircraft are plotted, for use in instructing volunteers. Other plotting and tracking devices, mock-ups, charts and telephones are utilized also. Sergeant Casey is on duty Monday through Friday from 1 until 10 p.m. and welcomes everyone interested in donating a few hours for the air defense of our nation. The Santa Ana Filter Center is a vital link in the GOC, which, with the USAF's new radar network and fighter-interceptors, guard the United States from surprise enemy air attack. Anaheim Future Farmers To Pick "Sweetheart" One of 25 high school girls competing for the honor title of Chapter Sweetheart, will be chosen by membership of the Anaheim Future Farmers of America at an early date. The honorary position was created for the first time last year when Joan Perry of Anaheim was elected the FFA "sweetheart." To qualify, girls must have lived in a farm at some time in the past or present; and must not be engaged or "going steady" at the time they are chosen. So many times you hear it said: "Cancer is a woman's disease!" Yet the cold fact of the matter, according to Dr. Samuel Gendel, Chairman of the Cancer Committee of the Orange County Medical Association, is that cancer killed more men than women in California last year. Not very long ago the opposite was true. It was only during the past decade that cancer started taking more than half its victims from among the males. As recently as 1940 the ratio of female to male deaths from cancer was 129.1 to 124.7. But between 1940 and 1950 the balance changed, and by 1950 the ratio became 133.2 to 118.5, with male deaths definitely in the lead. In California last year cancer took the lives of 8,065 men as compared to 7,471 women. A major reason for this phenomenon was a sharp rise in the incidence of lung cancer among men. Dr. Gendel estimates that there has been an increase of approximately 200 percent in cancer of the lung among men since 1933. Although the males do not have a monopoly on this form of the disease, for some unexplained reason it now is attacking them about eight times as frequently as it does women. Fortunately, Dr. Gendel points out, cancer of the lung is curable if its presence is discovered in an early stage. Increased effectiveness of the American Cancer Society's program of public education is getting many patients to their doctors in time. The latest tool in the never-ending educational campaign against cancer is a new color motion picture, "The Warning Shadow". Suitable for any audience, it is designed primarily for viewing by men. It reveals how routine chest X-rays are being used to discover cancer of the lung in an early stage, and calls attention to the importance of periodic chest X-rays for all men past 45. "The Warning Shadow" already has been shown in Orange County to the Directors of the Orange County Branch of the American Cancer Society and the staff of the County Health Department and is available for free showings to other groups. Whenever it is displayed, a physician goes along to answer questions from the audience. In the films' opening sequence the dramatic story of the first successful operation for cancer of the lung is re-enacted. Another sequence shows in animation how lung cancer starts and how it spreads. The final section of "The Warning Shadow" is inspirational. It brings the viewer face to face with patients who have been cured of lung cancer and long since restored to vigorous, healthy life. Both the patient and the surgeon who participated in the history-making operation of twenty years ago, play important parts in the film, one of the many Cancer Society has produced. Dr. Gendel announced that any group in Orange County interested in viewing "The Warning Shadow" may arrange to do so through the Orange County Branch of the American Cancer Society of 308 Otis Building, Santa Ana, telephone Kimberly 2-5223 or calling the County Commander, Mrs. Howard Timmons, Kimberly 2-3384.
