She Welcomes City To See Modern Magic Peeking at you from between two giant radio tubes used to hurl telephone voices across the oceans, Miss Edna Schaffer of the telephone company welcomes you to the three-day city-wide telephone show, opening Thursday at 217 North Lemon street. It's free to young and old and everything from dial system equipment to teletypewriters are being demonstrated. Public Invited To Visit Phone Show Oscar Heying, First Night-Operator Here, Is Interested Spectator Opening wide its doors to the public at 1 p.m., the Southern California Telephone company Thursday launched a Los Angeles and Claudina. When a buzzer sounded near his ear, he roused himself and went to the board to complete the call. That early switchboard had a place for but one operator, and was attended during the day by Miss Belle Lyons. At the present time there are more than 16,000 calls completed in Anaheim every day; 11,000 of which are handled by dial apparatus and the remainder by operators at the big switchboards. In repeating the city-wide invitation issued several days ago, Manager Bartlett said: "We believe that everyone who views Oscar Heying, First Night-Operator Here, Is Interested Spectator Opening wide its doors to the public at 1 p.m., the Southern California Telephone company Thursday launched a three-day open house and demonstration that promised to overshadow anything of this nature ever held in Anaheim. All local residents were invited to visit the central office building, 217 North Lemon Street, Thursday, Friday and Saturday between the hours of 1 p.m. and 10 p.m., according to A. L. Bartlett manager. A special invitation has been issued by Bartlett to students of the Anaheim union high school through Principal J. A. Clayes, and many youthful guests are expected to attend the three-day telephone exposition. Members of the local Rotary, Lions, and Kiwanis clubs, and of the Business and Professional Women's club have also been accorded special invitations, and many have assured Bartlett of their attendance. Dial Codes A tour through the Anaheim telephone building, which houses the most up-to-date type of apparatus, is just one of the features of the open house. Visitors are shown the bell-ringing machines that automatically signal Anaheim subscribers to all hours of the day or night, and the 184 giant storage batteries that drink 50 gallons of water a month. Following an inspection of the dial switching equipment and the display of telephone oddities in the basement and the first floor, guests are taken to the second floor where the switchboard and long distance equipment is located. Anaheim, the long distance center of Orange county, handles nearly 3,700 inter-city telephone calls a day. Bartlett said. Speedy completion of calls is assured by a system whereby operators dial a code to establish an immediate connection with any one of a hundred Southern California points. In making connections with other dial system exchanges, the Anaheim operators are able to dial a code, and then the distant subscriber's number, putting two persons in immediate connection without the intervention of another operator. How this system actually operates is being shown to visitors at the local central office, Bartlett stated. Chief of Police J. S. Bouldin, one of the advance visitors at the open house, viewed with considerable interest the switchboard where swift-moving Anaheim operators complete emergency calls between subscribers and police department headquarters. George W. Reed, secretary of the chamber of commerce sounded near his ear, he roused himself and went to the board to complete the call. That early switchboard had a place for but one operator, and was attended during the day by Miss Belle Lyons. At the present time there are more than 16,000 calls completed in Anaheim every day; 11,000 of which are handled by dial apparatus and the remainder by operators at the big switchboards. In repeating the city-wide invitation issued several days ago, Manager Bartlett said: "We believe that everyone who views the maze of local and long distance apparatus serving Anaheim's 2,720 telephone will agree that it is part of a large and complicated system; however, any telephone service is chiefly people, and above all we appreciate this opportunity of getting better acquainted with the people we serve." Farmers Must Act For Loans Total of $2,000,000 Will Be Appropriated for State From Reconstruction Funds Those farmers of Orange county who wish to secure U.S. government loans from the $50,000,000 allotted for that purpose by the reconstruction finance corporation, should get in touch with the county agricultural commissioner at once. State Finance Director Roland Vandergrift recommends following a return from Washington, D.C. California will receive approximately $2,000,000 from the allotment for loaning to farmers under certain restrictions. Vandergrift said: "The principal purpose of these short-term loans is to finance the farmers through the production of their 1932 crops. The county agricultural commissioner in each county can usually give the farmers information regarding loan applications." Regulation Announced The regulations governing the loans are: No loans for crop production in 1932 will be made to any applicant in excess of $400. The total amount of loans to tenants of any one land owner in a single county shall not exceed $1,600. No loans will be made to any applicant who has means of livelihood other than farming, nor to a minor. No loan will be made to any applicant who did not operate a farm in 1931. No loans will be made for summer fallowing. Loans will not be made for a total acreage of crops in excess of the average of the acreage planted by borrower are able to dial a code, and then the distant subscriber's number, putting two persons in immediate connection without the intervention of another operator. How this system actually operates is being shown to visitors at the local central office, Bartlett stated. Chief of Police J. S. Bouldin, one of the advance visitors at the open house, viewed with considerable interest the switchboard where swift-moving Anaheim operators complete emergency calls between subscribers and police department headquarters. George W. Reed, secretary of the chamber of commerce, was another enthusiastic early visitor. "Talkles" Each Night Talking pictures are being shown each evening, on various phases of the telephone industry. Animated cartoons, a visit to San Francisco's Chinatown exchange and an historical drama of the telephone are among those to be presented. The programs are designed to be entertaining for both children and adults, Bartlett said. Two teletypewriters that flash written words across the exhibit room, and which could do the same across the continent with the speed of telephone conservations, are "hooked up" as part of the extensive display. Attention was also centered on the telephone "voice tester," on the working parts of a public telephone, and on a display of various types of cable, including both submarine and underground types. Some of it carries 3,630 wires, and lead sheaths are shown damaged by rats and insects. Visitors are learning that vacuum tubes are an important part of telephone equipment. They are featured in a display of "giant" and "baby" tubes, in addition to nearly $00 of them being in actual use in the Anaheim building. Heying Early Operator Among guests at the central office building was Oscar Heying druggist at Center and Los Angeles Streets, who was the first night telephone operator the city ever had. Until Heying took the job, about 1904 when there were 80 telephones in use here, Anaheim had telephone service only during the day. Heying studied pharmacy in the day time and at night he slept on a cot near the switchboard, located in Hutchison's Drug Store, on Center street between The total amount of loans to tenants of any one land owner in a single county shall not exceed $1,600. No loans will be made to any applicant who has means of livelihood other than farming, nor to a minor. No loan will be made to any applicant who did not operate a farm in 1931. No loans will be made for summer following. Loans will not be made for a total acreage of crops in excess of the average of the acreage planted by borrower in 1930 and 1931. Loans will not be made for purchase of machinery or livestock, or for feeding livestock, other than the work stock used in crop production. Cuts Red Tape In State Relief Work Director Eliminates Delays In Giving Assistance to the State's Needy Elimination of red tape and delays in handling the appeals of the state's needy citizens was ordered by Mrs. Rheba Crawford Splivalo, director of the state department of social welfare. Reduction of the operating expenses of the department, wherever possible, was also ordered by Mrs. Splivalo. "We must eliminate the delays so frequently caused by red tape and unnecessary office routine procedure," Mrs. Splivalo said. "We cannot let red tape, with its consequent delays, interfere with the giving of the proper relief to the aged or the blind or to any other class of persons legally dependent upon the state for relief. We are seeking to speed up the procedure on adoption cases, so that under normal circumstances they will be completed within thirty days." However, we do not wish to be penny wise and pound foolish. We want to give help wherever it is legal and proper, but in so doing, we must not add to the existing hardships and suffering of our dependents." Mrs. H. D. Herman was chairman of the committee which served a delicious breakfast to the general public Thursday morning from 7 to 11 o'clock at the Parent-Teacher association (high school) benefit held at the home of Mrs. J. A. Davis at 718 South Philadelphia street. Use Wallhide—the new vitollized oil wall finish—a wonderful assortment of colors. Spencer Store, 166 W. Center Street, Anaheim. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

No Pollyanna Platitudes Now Editor Chester Rowell Sees Better Times In Bank of America Program Talk "Two years ago we were trying to jolly ourselves up with Pollyanna platitudes. Last year we became realistic and faced the facts. This year we are still realistic with no false hopes nor wild fancies, but with a new and solid courage. “There are real indications of a better prospect for the future.” This was the keynote sounded by Chester H. Rowell, distinguished editor and authority on world affairs in the third of the weekly programs in the "Back to Good Times" campaign of the Bank of America. "The purpose of the 'Back to Good Times' movement is to remind the people of the real indications of a better prospect for the future and the part which each one can do toward helping everybody by helping yourself," said Rowell. Rowell referred to statistics of improved prices and markets, the decrease of unemployment, the betterment of the banking situation and the general better feeling. "These are all important, but they are merely the external symptoms of a deeper condition which is even more encouraging," he added. "When we look back on last year its most striking feature is the calamities which the world so narrowly escaped." "Practically every country in South America changed its government by revolution in reaction against hard time. Times are still hard in that part of the world, but nobody is trying to improve them by revolution." "Germany frightened the world last year, but this year has just voted for Hindenburg, solidity and safety. Last year national panic began in Austria, spread to Germany, then to England and finally menaced for a brief time the financial structure of our nation." 65 Lemon Growers On Orchard Tour Study Methods of Irrigating and Pruning Practiced on Large Ranches Sixty-five lemon growers of Orange county, travelling in 15 ears, participated in the orchard tour held last Saturday under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and direction of Farm Advisor Harold E. Wallberg. The Sespe Rancho near Fillmore was the first stop. This ranch, consisting of 1000 acres of lemons and oranges, has modified its pruning, cultivation and irrigation programs considerably in the last few years, according to T. R. Lombard, foreman. Cultivation costs have been reduced almost 50 percent and irrigation practice has also been reduced to allow the soil to partially dry out between irrigations. Several blocks of renewed trees were observed that were once very weak because of too heavy irrigation. By withholding irrigation water in the blocks of weak trees and pruning them heavily, the trees today exhibit a remarkable come-up. The rootstock experiment for lemons set out by the Sespe ranch for the citrus experiment station, showed splendid response from the sweet orange stock as well as grapefruit stock. New plantings are now budded largely to sweet stock as a result of the experiments. The 1800 acre Limoneira plantings were visited to study orchard management methods. Chas. Jensen, superintendent, also pointed out that the fundamental practices in their orchards had been completely revised and readjusted during the past few years. On normal trees they have learned that the conservative thinning method of pruning has produced more and better quality fruit than the dehorning method. For weakened trees, however, a heavy pruning is necessary to balance the roots and top of the trees. Vincent F. Blanchard, farm advisor of Ventura county, showed the pruning Build Beauty from inside out. Pomegranate Selected Milk. Phone 4401.

Better Get Drunk Lesson-Sermon Topic for Sunday Announced "Doctrine of Atonement" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all Christian Science churches, branches of The Mother Church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. The Golden Text is from the epistle to the Hebrews: "Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation." Among the Bible selections in the Lesson-Sermon are these verses from Paul's letter to Titus: "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, rightously, and godly, in this present world; looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." A passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Chriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy states: "We cannot choose for ourselves, but must work out our salvation in the way Jesus taught."

Better Get Drunk Than Take a Drink It's Safer When Driving Car the State Highway Patrol Discovers The driver with a small amount of liquor aboard is likely to be more dangerous than the driver who is thoroughly drunk! This conclusion was drawn this week by the California highway patrol as the result of a survey of motor vehicle accidents involving drunken drivers and pedestrians. The patrol found that few men will attempt to drive when they are drunk enough to realize they are drunk and therefore dangerous to themselves and others. "It is the man who has drunk just enough to think he is alright who is the greatest menace," said Chief E. Raymond Cato. "As a rule the driver in the earlier stages of intoxication may be able to co-ordinate his muscles fairly well; but he is impulsive and reckless and so takes the deadly chance. The sound, careful judgment that directs the hand and foot is gone." The patrol reported marked increases in the number of drivers and pedestrians involved in accidents who were listed by officers as "had been drinking." In 1931 there were 2,432 accidents involving such drivers a gain of 712 or about 45 percent over 1930. The number of fatalities increased from 119 in 1930 to 210 in 1931. There were 366 pedestrians involved in accidents last year listed as having been drinking, a gain of 62 over 1930. WANT ADS RATE: Five cents the line (count five words) to the line for each insurer.

Highway Patrol Car Also Is Ambulance Recognizing the scarcity of hospitals and medical facilities in the remote regions of Mono and Inyo counties, E. Raymond Cato, chief of the California highway patrol, announces a combination patrol and ambulance car will be sent to these districts to be used in emergencies for transporting injured motorists to points where medical attention is available. The car to be used is an ordinary sedan equipped with two individual front seats. It was rebuilt at the state highway maintenance shops and can be converted quickly into an ambulance by unscrewing nuts that permit the removal of the post on the side opposite the driver and let the back of the right front seat fall to a horizontal position. A comfortable couch is thus provided upon which an injured person may recline while being taken to a hospital. Class of Eight Is Confirmed April 13 Before a packed church Wednesday evening, the Rt. Rev Robert B. Gooden, Bishop suffragan of Los Angeles, confirmed a class of eight at the St. Michael Episcopal church. Those confirmed were: Mr. and Mrs. John M. Henry, Mrs. Theodore B.
