Pacific Telephone Company Head Sums Up Company's War Record Importance of the telephone in the war emergency has been summed up in the annual report which N. R. Powley, president of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company, has issued to all shareholders in the company. This report has been issued locally, since the Pacific company is owner of the Southern California Telephone company, which operates here under R. J. Rossberg, manager of the Anaheim exchange. Wartime demands for telephone service on both the home front and for the armed forces reached all-time peaks in 1942, according to President Powley's report. "The Pacific coast, predominantly affected by the impact of the war, experienced throughout that year an expansion in governmental, industrial and business activity unparalleled in its history," Powley stated. "Serving as it does, this strategic section of the country, our company gave its undivided attention to the performance of its duty to our nation's all-out war effort." His report pointed out the way in which materials, vitally essential to expansion of the communication system, "went to war" with a consequent shortage and restricted use, despite the increased volume of telephone traffic. "Our constant aim," he stated, "has been so to conduct our work that our stewardship would at all times be reflected in a service that promptly and effectively met the full requirements of the prosecution of the war." Operating taxes were the highest on record he said, averaging more than $94,000 for each day of the year, an increase of more than $27,000 a day over the previous year. Payrolls increased proportionately, totaling more than $81,-000,000. Toll and long distance calls soared to the unprecedented peak of over 204 million during the year, a 20 per cent increase over the previous record year of 1941. Another fine record shown by the report, is that at the close of 1942, 3,132 company employees were in the nation's armed forces, including 38 women. "This year has demonstrated the value of an organization built upon principles of sound training and the fundamental importance of standardized equipment designed for maximum flexibility and uniformity in operation," Powley stated, concluding his report with an expression of appreciation "To an understanding and friendly public for cooperative assistance in aiding our company To remove fruit or wine stain from table linens, hold the spot-tied part over a jet of steam from your teakettle until it fades out or soak it in milk for several hours.

Perspire YOUR WARTIME Gas Kitchen Counselor How to get off to a good start with the Point Ration System—BE NUTRITION-WISE The new point ration system brings to every housewife in America the greatest responsibility and opportunity in this war to date. Now more than ever you will need to consider every food purchase you make, from the standpoint of its food value—because it means health value to your family. Helpful wartime suggestions and counsel on ration cooking from your gas company’s Home Service Department will be published from time to time in advertisements such as this one. Rule No. 1 to the Nutrition-Wise is—don’t use a processed food when there is a fresh food available. Fresh foods are particularly high in vitamin content, especially those direct from your own victory garden. It is more important than ever now to plan menus in advance or you are apt to run out of ration coupons before the month is up.

Fresh foods are particularly high in vitamin content, especially those direct from your own victory garden. It is more important than ever now to plan menus in advance or you are apt to run out of ration coupons before the month is up. As you make out your shopping list, you can jot down individual and total point values of the rationed foods. This will give you a double-check list, and will save you marketing minutes. Your best bargains in rationed foods will be those with the highest nutritive value for each point you have to pay. Remember to use the highest point coupon possible in making your purchases. This will leave you the right “change” in smaller stamps for lower point purchases later on.

Perspirate Toastmasters Are Heard on Various Subjects Extemporaneous speakers and those whose talks had been carefully prepared divided honors at this week's session of Toastmasters in Marigold cafe where Vice-President LeRoy Ater presided. The table topic with its promptu talks dealt with suggestions for improving the club and for enlarging its membership, with Frank Kellogg directing the general discussion. The subsequent talk by Paul Demaree, education chairman in Toastmasters International fitted in with the theme, for with "Criticism" as his subject, he expressed his views as to duties of the critic with reference to both old and new members, and touched upon administration of club affairs. After Charles Greenwood's talk on "Showing Appreciation," and Earl Smith's book review of "Queen of the Flat Tops" by Stanley Johnston, Dr. C. O. Patterson, recently returned from the nation's capital, talked eloquently on the approaching Red Cross drive, and the need of financial aid to the matchless accomplishments of that organization. Although "In Self Defense" was the subject assigned to Royal Marten, he made a last-minute change and in "I Agree with F.D.R." talked on escape literature, sketching the history of the "Who Dun It" type of fiction. All these talks were given under supervision of Leonard Schwacofer, Toastmaster of the evening, with To Those In Service AIR CORPS BROTHERS Two Anaheim brothers, Charles and Donald Berger, who entered military service within the past month, have been sent to widely separated fields, according to word received by their mother Mrs. Lydia C. Berger, 128 East Water street. Both brothers are graduates of Union high school. Charles, who was employed with General Metals Corporation, Los Angeles, was transferred from Fresno Air Base just two weeks ago, to Denver, Colo., where he is enjoying the snowy winter clime. His younger brother Donald, who had been employed with Douglas since graduation last June, and who also is in the Air Corps, is now stationed at the new base under construction at St. Petersburg, Fla. AT FLORIDA CAMP Mr. and Mrs. Howard M. Williams, 551 South Zeyn street, have received a set of pictures from the former's brother, Fred Williams, now stationed at Camp Blanding, Fla., as a member of the Casual department, Fifth Platoon. Camp Blanding, occupying a tract of 119,000 acres, was developed by Florida as a permanent camp ground for the National Guard before the Army took it over as a military camp. Williams, who formerly was employed here with the Alpha Beta market and also worked for his brother at "Curley's Cafe" on East Center street, was with the U.S. Army prior to the outbreak of the present World war. He attended Signal Corps school at Fort Momouth N.L. and Avos at League of Cities County Branch, Meets in Tustin Representating the city of Anaheim at last night's meeting Tustin of Orange county branch California League of Cities, with Mayor Charles A. Pearson, Engineer E. P. Hapgood and villian Defense Chairman Chad H. Mann. Brea's mayor, Louis A. Crew new president of the county League, conducted the business session in Tustin K. P. hall presented the guest speaker L. Burke, counsel for the Californi League. Burke discussed a number new bills before the state legislature, some of them definitely proved by the League, but often to which much opposition is being expressed. However he centred his talk on the new State Council now being assembled Governor Warren to replace present State Civilian De council. He gave the set-up far as appointments have yet made, and told of the common changes which will be effect Authority, he explained, that come down through district city councils from the state organization, which will supervise each local set-up and offer constructive aid and support.

These files contain the only Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orange County in the Days of the Pioneers. 25 Years Ago February 28, 1918 Orange county was awarded first prize for the best feature display without mechanical motion at the National Orange show. This prize was $200 and a trophy. Rialto took second place in this classification, with $125. The design was a miniature Newport harbor in which a U.S. destroyer was chasing a U boat. A great many Anaheim people were in attendance on Sunday at the big show and all state that it was the best ever. In the Orange county exhibit was a table covered with 128 varieties of citrus fruit, all grown in this county and which ranged from small oranges in a bunch like grapes to a giant lemon about the size of a cantaloupe. Last year John Cook in partnership with his brother raised over 10,000 sacks of beans on the Irvine ranch, and the year before that they raised about the same quantity. This year, owing to the bountiful rainfall of the past few weeks they will plant a large acreage to beans and expect to equal their former harvests. Beans furnish an important part of the soldiers' rations, and Mr. Cook believes he is doing his bit along the line from a patriotic standpoint. Several complaints have recently been made about cruelty to animals where horses have been 50 Years Ago March 2nd, 1893 The district Missionary convention at the Presbyterian church on Wednesday of last week was largely attended, representatives being present from this city, Santa Ana, Tustin, Westminster, Los Angeles and Pasadena. Mrs. Hill, wife of the pastor of the Presbyterian church presided Papers were read upon the following topics: "Motives for Active Christian Living," Mrs. Victor Montgomery of Santa Ana; "Unseen Battles," "Miss Buss of Tustin; "How Shall We Interest the Young in Missions," Mrs. Armor of Orange, Mrs. Hill read a paper on "Systematic Beneficience." Two missionaries were present, Mrs. Hepburn of Japan and Mrs. Lavrie of China, both of whom gave interesting accounts of their work. At noon the convention partook of a basket luncheon prepared by ladies of this city. Anaheim is enjoying quite a building boom. F. A. Gates is building a new house on the Wilkins tract, and August Freise and R. Spoerl are building neat additions to their residences on Broadway. Mr. Shackleford who recently purchased a half interest in the Wright property east of town is making preparations for the erection of a comfortable residence on the tract. Mr. Rae has given his forty- Battle of Everything LOVE TO LONG BEACH Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Schneider, recently moved to Long Beach from 203 South West street, now pleasantly established at the West Mountain View in the North city. They made the move order to look after property interests in Long Beach. TELEPHONE HOUR" Local radio fans will be interested in the announcement made by R. J. Rossberg, local manager of Southern California telephone company, that Josef Mann, famous Polish pianist, headline the popular "Telephone Hour" program next Monday night. The program, heard on NBC at 9 p.m., will feature stars as Lawrence Tibbett, Pons and Jascha Heifetz on feeding Monday nights of the sixth. DODY PICNIC PLANS Body club of Southern California has announced a picnic for who once lived in that Wyomac city, who will gather Sunday Bixby park, Long Beach. In case of rain, the Cody group will arrange plans and attend the genesis Wyoming picnic in Sycamore Ave, Los Angeles. Inner city editor of the Gazette job is stationed with the demonstration at Camp Callan—a characteristic letter to his former colleagues on the Gazette office, Techn. 5th Gr. Smith refers this new rank as a "Model Temporal." He and Mrs. Smith are their baby son recently reared from a furlough spent in his parents in Colorado. INS FLYING CROSS Mieut. (jg) Richard G. Johnson Fullerton was one of three heroics recently decorated in the Distinguishing Flying Lesson by President Roosevelt, acceding to a dispatch from Washington. Ten Navy officers and one distinguished man were given either Stars or Distinguished Flyers Crosses. Mrs. Johnston was died as now living in Coronado. ANGING COP" George Stinson, Orange county quantity. This year, owing to the bountiful rainfall of the past few weeks they will plant a large acreage to beans and expect to equal their former harvests. Beans furnish an important part of the soldiers' rations, and Mr. Cook believes he is doing his bit along the line from a patriotic standpoint. Several complaints have recently been made about cruelty to animals where horses have been allowed to stand hitched for a number of hours without attention. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would seem to have a good job in this vicinity rounding up some of these persons who misuse dumb animals. V. W. LaMont, Bud Sackett, Charles Koehler and A. R. Cliff went over to Lake Elsinore Saturday evening and spent Sunday fishing. Weird and conflicting stories of their experiences are told by individual members of the party, consequently we refuse to believe any of them. All agree however, that they brought home a few fish. Pete Nicolas was in town a few days ago to hear the latest about the forthcoming city election. Pete is wise and is rated a good prognostigator, but did not give out an opinion on the final outcome this early in the game. John Selinger has in contemplation the erection of a modern residence on his ten acre tract on East Orangethorpe avenue on which he has a fine bearing orange grove. Mr. and Mrs. Selinger and family are at present making their home on East Broadway where they will remain until the completion of their new home. Ted Stephenson, the Santa Ana Register's political periscope man, is mentioned by the Blade as a good candidate for the Assembly. Ted has been working his political periscope overtime of late, and finds the woods full of candidates but has so far found none for the Assembly. He has not as yet announced his candidacy, but if we can get along without him in the county during the legislative session we are going to be for him. One of the most delightful affairs of the season was the recep building boom. F. A. Gates is building a new house on the Wilkins tract, and August Freise and R. Spoerl are building neat additions to their residences on Broadway. Mr. Shackleford who recently purchased a half interest in the Wright property east of town is making preparations for the erection of a comfortable residence on the tract. Mr. Rae has given his forty-acre walnut grove below town the name of Katella, after his two daughters, Kate and Ella. The naming of places in the country has become quite a fad of late, and Mr. Rae has determined to follow the custom. His selection is unique as well as appropriate and will designate what in the coming time will be one of the most attractive country seats in Southern California. A neat gilt sign on the arch over the driveway into Alex Henry's place west of town gives information that the place has been named "California Grove." If one enters the place, however, he will find that although the place has a new name, the old-time hospitality still reigns supreme. Mr. Henry is engaged in putting down an artesian well, or rather in resuming operations on one down some two hundred feet, which a San Bernardino well borer left unfinished sometime ago. He is determined to have a flow, and is prepared to go down a thousand feet to get it. He contemplates making a number of substantial improvements at the Grove, and will make it one of the most attractive places in the county. Charlie Bailey was in town from the Olinda ranch yesterday. He has decided to sell the surplus stock of horses on the ranch and will offer bargains on the same during the next two weeks. The feed and grain on the ranch never looked better. From the Olinda to Whittier the country is covered with one vast field of grain. At present he has four thousand head of sheep, feeding on the ranch, and mentions the recent sale of four thousand sheep for $4 per head. Mr. Bailey also raises some fine oranges on this princely estate. John Hartung has sold his place of ten acres at the corner of Syca- GEORGE STINSON, Orange county, famous "Singing Cop" when was connected with California highway patrol, is now a petty teer with the U. S. Navy. He just completed training in San go and is awaiting assignat to a station. Anaheim lands will recall one of his local earances, when he sang with late Mme. Ernestine Schun-Heink at a gala recital in city park's Greek theater.

One of the most delightful affafairs of the season was the reception and card party given on Washington's birthday by Mrs. J. J.

George Sloop leaves tomorrow for Phoenix, Ariz., where he has leased 460 acres of land and will plant it to cotton. His family will continue to reside here and he will probably make return trips here every sixty days. Charles Mauerhan died at his home in Fullerton Sunday. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in that city Tuesday, interment being in Loma Vista cemetery. John Hartung has sold his place of ten acres at the corner of Sycamore and East street on Thursday last to J. Hickman, recently arrived from the East for $4,500. Mr. Hickman will take possession at once and Mr. Hartung will move with his family into the Deutsch building on the corner of Lemon and Center streets. It will be quite a novelty for him to give up living on the old home place, he having resided there for many years. William Wagner, who last week bought the Speidel place on Broadway, on Monday exchanged the property for the twenty-acre Swope tract east of town, the consideration being $3,500. Mr. Swope will move into town, and Mr. Wagner and his family will go to ranching. Monday morning the sky became overcast with clouds, and shortly after ten o'clock it began sprinkling. The indications were good for a heavy shower, but the weather cleared up and the clouds dispersed quite as quickly as they came. In North Anaheim quite a heavy shower fell on Sunday morning. Ex-District Attorney Sanborn and Miss Minnie Bowers were married in St. Paul's Episcopal church, Los Angeles, on Wednesday of last week. They later took their departure for Denver where Mr. Sanborn will practice law.
