Potter, advertising man for the Southern Counties Gas company, who visited The Gazette today, the Christmas stock prizes, offered to the four highest company employees between November 24th and December 24th, have been distributed as follows: First place, Frank H Bivens, district superintendent, Santa Barbara.

PARENT-TEACHERS MEET AT CENTRAL SCHOOL The monthly meeting of the Parent Teachers' association was held in the kindergarten room at the Central school on Tuesday afternoon. It was fairly well attended and was an interesting meeting. The president, Mrs. Austin, was in the chair, and Mrs. Smith acted as secretary in the absence of the regular secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. A general discussion was then held regarding the propriety of establishing branch Parent Teachers' associations in each of the different schools or continuing as at present. The question of having "Grade Mothers" in the schools seemed to meet with favor by the ladies present. An informal discussion of "Don't" in connections with the upbringing of children was participated in. Delegates were elected to the fourth district Congress of Mothers and Parent Teachers' associations, which will meet at Yorba Linda on Saturday, the 14th, at 9:30 a.m. The ladies of Yorba Linda will serve a hot lunch at noon at 50 cents a plate, the proceeds to be used by the association in betterment work. An excellent program has been arranged. Miss Wilhelmina Loos, of Pasadena, will be the principal speaker in the afternoon. R. R. Miller, of Santa Ana, probation officer of Orange county, speaking before the Kiwanis club at their regular meeting held at the Anaheim high school made an appeal to the business men of Anaheim to make it more difficult for young boys to procure cigar... R. R. Miller, of Santa Ana, probation officer of Orange county, speaking before the Kiwanis club at their regular meeting held at the Anaheim high school made an appeal to the business men of Anaheim to make it more difficult for young boys to procure cigarettes. "I came here today," said Mr. Miller, in response to a request of C. C. Smith, superintendent of the grade schools of Anaheim. He complains that many stores in Anaheim are selling cigarettes to young boys. He pleaded for the assistance of the Kiwanis club in preventing the sale of cigarettes to those boys and pictured a pitiful condition of degeneracy which will inevitably follow the practice of excessive cigarette smoking." Mr. Miller will hold a conference with Superintendent Smith preparatory to bring some preventative action to stop the practice. FOR SALE—Dairy manure. Best grade. Delivered right to your order.

With the thousands of calls in daily telephone "The Line Is Busy" When the telephone operator tells you "the line is busy," this fact has been made known to her by an electric signal. With the thousands of calls in daily telephone traffic, if the operator, to secure this information, were compelled to listen on the line of the party called, prompt service would be out of the question. This delay is eliminated by an electric device which in the fraction of a second automatically indicates that the line called for is in use. When "busy" reports are repeated on successive calls for the same number, it is generally due to an immoderate use of the called line. The length of a telephone conversation is obviously beyond the control of the telephone operator. Have confidence in her when she makes the report "the line is busy."
