HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAM PLANNED Choosing the subject, "A Practical Hearing Conservation Program for our County Schools," Donald R. Caziaro, hearing conservation specialist who acts in a liaison capacity between the State Departments of Public Health and Education spoke at the institute session, January 14, at 4:00 p.m., in the Little Theatre, Santa Ana High school. The Anaheim Gazette since 1870 How to teach a voice to "smile" Speaking naturally is lesson one in becoming a telephone operator... and literally thousands of girls have learned it during the last year in the biggest operator training program in our history. Girls in training get a thorough grounding at regular pay... a basic course that lasts anywhere from three to six weeks. At San Francisco, a red-faced Coast Guard whose boat capsized in the were rescued by Sea Scout. A San Francisco thief abandoned the vehicle stolen when he discovered a hearse, complete with cage. A squad of Boston copically chased a guy for blocks. When they caught them didn't know why they chasing him and he didn't why he had been running. A San Diego woman said divorce because her husband made her sleep with them and the dog had fleas. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, made "an awful face" at the fic cop. The cop made right back at her. He thrust jaw out of joint. In Pueblo, Colorado, to put new bars on the cage cause visitors were always tinging the lions. In Sparta, Wisconsin, a ling GI decided to surprise family; sneaked into his bedroom, snapped on the yelled "Guess who!" The ed householders finally exiled householders finally exited to him his parents had out of that house two months fore. The Treasury Department amuck, instead of sending Dunkirk, New York, sailor for refund check of $22, they him a check for $555,555. A McCall, Idaho, editor creased the page size of his per, explaining he was sick tired of people complaining "the paper is too small to w bottle of whiskey in." In Sacramento, a man drank cup of hot coffee, choked himself on the lip when his teeth slipped, got rattled, for his chair, bumped his head the corner of a table, gashed head, was taken to the hospital. In Cleveland, Alexander Hilton turned in Calvin Co. for passing a bum check. Detroit still hasn't gotten of the prisoner who liked jail so well he refuses to leave his wife because he agrees with every damned I say." On special practice boards like this a trainee is given hundreds of practice calls... everything from the simplest local call to a complex string of them. She learns to meet various situations... learns poise and skill and confidence. Even when she becomes a full-fledged "voice with a smile", she can call on a friendly supervisor for help on unusual calls, when she needs it. In the weeks to come, girls now in training will take their places at switchboards, and as fast as additional equipment becomes available, thousands more will be trained to handle your calls. For we intend to do everything we can to bring the rapidly growing Pacific Coast an even better telephone service than ever before... just as soon as is humanly possible. An ever-improving telephone service at the least cost consistent with good wages and working conditions for our employees and a reasonable return to the thousands of people who have invested in the business. Southern California Telephone Co. 217 North Lemon Street Telephone 2101 Average John Q. Still Top Man In News Stories The old adage so often utilized by "True Story" writers solennally stating that "truth is stranger than fiction" still holds true. In many cases, the truth hurts (as another saying goes!) It is the job of newspapermen throughout the country to deal with whatever happens to his John Q. Public. When John Q. is a big man, he's spread all over the front page. When he isn't quite as big as a congressman or movie star, his story will still be printed by one newspaper or another; but in shorter form. The stories below were selected as being "tops for 1946"; but they deal with the average John Q. Perhaps they are, in the long run, the very stories that make a newspaper worth reading. Who knows? For your information. The army explained, by letter, to an ex-GI that it would be impossible for them to bring over his English war bride. The ex-GI agreed. She had been in this country for two months. In Fairbanks, Alaska, a man jumped into a bar on crutches, took two snorts, ran out, leaving his crutches propped against the car. A Detroit tippler was fined for rumbling into an undertaker's carlor and going to sleep in a basket. At San Francisco, a load of red-faced Coast Guardsmen, whose boat capsized in the bay, were rescued by Sea Scouts. A San Francisco thief quicklyandoned the vehicle he had Packaged Power GREATEST NATURAL BATTERY IS SOUTH AMERICA'S ELECTRIC EEL. ONLY 3 FEET LONG, IT GENERATES 600 VOLTS!
