Growth Of City Reflected In Demand For Telephone Service Facilities of the Anaheim telephone system are now fully utilized and at present more than 270 people are on the waiting list for service, R. J. Rossberg, manager of the Southern California Telephone Company announced this week. Shortage of facilities has made it necessary for the telephone company to postpone most installations, excepting those for purposes essential to the war, direct defense, and public health, welfare or security, Rossberg stated. Scarcity of critical materials caused the government to restrict the enlargement of the telephone plant in the spring of 1942. It was pointed out by Manager Rossberg that because of the availability of spare margins of facilities provided by the company's long range construction program, which had in view not only the immediate needs of the community, but those in future years, the company was unable to meet the demands of new phone subscribers for quite siderable time after the company had ceased to add to its fills. "In other words," the man said, "shortage of facilities affect the public immediately; the cessation of the many of numerous articles, such as mobiles, refrigerators and did.

ALREADY in this furious engagement, seven Jap dive bombers had plummeted to earth before his blazing guns. Now Lieut. James E. Swett was swinging into position to shoot down the eighth. The Marine flyer was protecting Allied shipping in the Guadalcanal area. He maneuvered until the enemy plane was lined up in his sights. He pressed the trigger button and watched expectantly... nothing happened! He realized quickly that his guns were empty—that he could not even defend himself now. His only course was to return to his field. As the lieutenant pulled reluctantly out of the dogfight, a Jap rear seat gunner fired a burst into the American plane, disabling it. Lieut. Swett suffered serious injuries in a crash landing. Fortunately, rescuers were nearby, and they carried this daring flyer to a base hospital. Seven planes bagged in one flight! The 22-year-old ace from San Mateo, Calif., has set a mark for every fighting pilot to "shoot at." Keep 'Em Flying — Buy War Bonds and Stamps! HEYING'S PHARMACY THE REXALL STORE 101 W.

Traffic Deaths Soar In spite Of Gas Ration Gasoline or no gasoline, the nation managed to do enough driving in the first eight months of the year to pile up a traffic death toll of 3,470. This aggregate—huge as it may seem—is 29 per cent below the same period last year and 43 per cent under the first eight months of pre-war 1941, according to reports received by the Automobile Club of Southern California. In August alone, the traffic death toll was 1,860, representing a drop of 15 per cent below 1942 and just about half the August total in '41. The August record, however, did follow the usual pattern of an August increase by rising 8.2 per cent over the July total of this year. During the first six months of the year, travel was down 32 per cent. Mileage figures are not available for the eight month period, but all factors indicate the drop in traffic deaths still is outstripping the decrease in travel, the report stated.

They're parachute troops who know their way about on skis or any other place in snow covered mountainous country. A great measure of the success of Russia's victories last winter is attributed to these troops who move with the silence of a snowflake. Our work on the home front is not so hazardous as that of the Para-Ski Troopers but it is important that we perform our daily tasks and make every effort to increase our regular purchase of War Bonds.
