One of the oldest rings known was a gold Egyptian ring found at Ghizeh bearing the name of Cheops, the Pharoh for whose tomb one of the pyramids was built. YOUR SUNKIST REPORTER When the Boys Let Their Hair Down Besides all the other contacts between the central office of the Exchange and the district sales offices throughout the U.S., there's one annual get-together that's in a class by itself. That's the Division Meeting, when a division manager and all his district sales managers meet with executives from the central office and sit down and for three solid days talk things over. Your reporter—a 180-lb. mouse in a corner—attended such a meeting at San Francisco a little while ago. Paul Armstrong, general manager, reported on today's citrus picture, Roy Wohlwend and his assistants in the sales department discussed sales plans for 1948, and Russ Eller, advertising manager, explained next year's advertising plans. But to this reporter the big thing was the free-for-all discussion. Every session started formal and ended up with the fellows letting their hair down. Problems, questions, gripes got a thorough airing. In the end everybody had had his say, and everybody went home with new understanding, new enthusiasm. These meetings, which are held for all Sunkist divisions, do some- LA HABRA NEWS La Habra chapter No. 508, Order of Eastern Star, held a meeting Thursday evening, Nov. 13, to elect officers for the ensuing year.

In the end everybody had had his sit, and everybody went home with new understanding, new enthusiasm. These meetings, which are held for all Sunkist divisions, do something for the organization that nothing else could. They give every local Sunkist agent a clearer realization of the aims and problems of Exchange growers and shippers. And they give the central office in Los Angeles an intimate, detailed picture of every citrus market in the entire U.S. and Canada—a knowledge available to no other marketing organization. You ought to use the know-how and teamwork of this great marketing cooperative to sell your fruit, too. Next report one week from today. California Fruit Growers Exchange Sunkist Building, Los Angeles 54, California The first social get-together for students and faculty of the La Habra campus of the Los Angeles University was held in the social rooms of the First Congregational Church at Brea on Friday, Nov. 14, under the direction of Dr. Halsey Carstens, director of student affairs.

Officers, chairmen and escorts of the La Habra chapter, O.E.S., were given a farewell dinner Friday evening, Nov. 14, at Hugheson Meadows by Worthy Matron Meet some folks whose savings paid for your telephone Your telephone, and the vast service facilities it represents, was actually bought and paid for by someone like this lady...someone with faith enough in the telephone business to invest savings in it. Each telephone requires an investment of about $245 in equipment...buildings, cables, poles, switchboards and the like. Who are they...the people who own the Bell telephone companies? Among them are families saving for their children's education, widows, young men investing for their future. Some of your friends are probably among our owners; for there are now more than 715,000...Bell has more shareholders than employees, in fact. Many employees are Bell System shareholders, too, combining their work and their savings in our program to bring service to all who want it. And this year alone our Pacific Coast construction program amounts to $200,000,000...bringing us still closer to our goal of the finest telephone service for the West. It takes new Working Dollars...millions of them...to build the buildings and buy the equipment needed to meet the demand for more service. Millions of dollars for growth do not come from telephone bills—but from people who are willing to put their savings into the business. To attract these savings we must sell our services at fair prices which allow us to pay reasonably for the use of needed working dollars.

The island itself is one of the wildest in the world on account of the bold and craggy rocks. Their weapons were all made of gold. The island everywhere abounds with gold and precious stones and upon it no other metal was found. They lived in caves, well excavated. They had many ships with which they sailed to other coasts to make forays and the men, whom they took as prisoners they killed. And there ruled over that island, a queen of majestic proportions, more beautiful than all others and in the very vigor of womanhood. She was valiant and courageous and ardent with a brave heart, and had ambitions to execute nobler actions than had been performed by any other ruler." Here we have California, a coined word by a visionary, whose work was deemed of literary inferiority; but the coined word was destined to be carried as the name of our Golden State—California.

Kennedy, managing director of the California Retailers association, in Los Angeles, where that organization elected new directors. Testimony at the hearings disclosed the average merchant, according to Kennedy, as a "gauntlet runner, who at the source of commodity supply, picks up a heavier cost load than ever in history. He strains through a weltering increase of tax costs, labor costs and other overhead costs that make the final price of the commodity delivered to the customer a deadening burden on the merchant and the consumer alike." John D. Bromfield,' San Mateo and Burlingame merchant, newly elected president of the Retailers Association, in a statement to the press declared that "the individual merchant—like his customers—wants an end to the spiraling of prices, and is working aggressively toward taht objective." Such stability, he said, "is the first objective of the Association, and with the cooperation of the consuming public; of labor, of producers and distributors, we can get off the high-cost treadmill and travel a healthier economic road." California? Not a New World Name The name "California" appeared first in a book in Spain before the discovery of the new world by Columbus. The writer, an old romancer of Spain, was one of many of his kind in his day, blithe scribblers who rioting in flights of fancy, spun weird yarns for consumption by an eager public; like Jules Verne's "Trip to the Moon," "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," etc. The great tales that Homer told came down the centuries from mouth to mouth. So it was with this dreamer, who wrote the book which he called, "Las Sergas de Esplandian—"The exploits of Esplandian," by Garci Ordonez de Montalvo. The book appeared at a time when the earth was supposed to be flat. If one could journey far... Verne's "Trip to the Moon," "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," etc. The great tales that Homer told came down the centuries from mouth to mouth. So it was with this dreamer, who wrote the book which he called, "Las Sergas de Esplandian—"The exploits of Esplandian," by Garci Ordonez de Montalvo. The book appeared at a time when the earth was supposed to be flat. If one could journey far enough and overcome giants and griffins, that stood guard at the edge of the vast pancake, he could hang his legs over the rim and look down into endless space. That is what Columbus had to argue against, when he wandered from court to court in Europe with an egg and a candle, only to find himself jeered at as a crazy man, until Ferdinand and Isabella took stock in his theory and fitted him out with a fleet at the expense of the Queen's jewels. Montalvo's tale was weird enough to meet the most exacting demands of a devouring public. It contained the first and original appearance of the word "California." A word new and which by its very euphoniousness and melody fairly sang itself on the lips of men. It was the name that the old romancer gave to the mythical country of his tale. "Know ye that at the right hand of the Indies, there is an island named California; very close to that part of the Terrestrial Paradise, which was inhabited by black women, without a single man among them and that they lived in the manner of Amazons.

Johnson, a veteran of far eastern banking, is manager of the new branch. He is assisted by assistant cashier Leonard Link, formerly of San Francisco. Winthrop E. Davis, American teller, has been transferred from the bank's Manila branch, and ten Japanese clerks and tellers will complete the staff for the first few months. The bank's premises now occupy 1,000 square feet of floor space, with provision for 2,000 square feet more of adjoining space to be added as increasing operations require. The branch is located in the Yeasu building. GUS LUZANIA GETS PROMOTION IN CO. "K" Appointment of Gus W.
