Porta, 742½ No. Los Angeles, Anaheim, was awarded a notary public commission by Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan. The commission expires in April, 1952. Here's why we say WOMEN CAN GO PLACES IN THIS BUSINESS 1. This is a story of a typical Pacific phone “career girl.” She started as an open back in the thirties...a good job then, better now. Today most new operators out of high school average better than $50 week when they start handling calls and more experienced operators earn $50 a week. 2. She was promoted to supervisor after a few years. Training new girls was an important part of the job...for Pacific Telephone was growing. She enjoyed vacations every year...with pay, of course. And she joined in many local telephone activities. Found telephone people friendly and sociable...on or off the job. 3. She's a chief operator now supervise 70 women...her responsibilities and experience help determine her salary of $4,500 per year. Many "chiefs" earn more. Two-times of our people are women—hundreds of management jobs—five are assistant presidents. Yes, women can go places in business. 4. Telephone jobs must be good jobs to attract the capable people needed to furnish service. Good pay, steady work and an employee benefit plan give a strong sense of security. Comfortable surroundings, vacations and friendly fellow workers help make work pleasant. Candidates Asked Not to Use Utility Poles for Posters Candidates, who are seeking election to public offices, are requested to issue definite instructions to their campaign workers not to use utility poles for placement of election placards. The Joint Pole Committee, representing twenty-eight public utilities operating throughout southern California and a portion of the San Joaquin valley, over a long period of years, have issued this appeal in order to alleviate accidents to utility workers. Accident records testify to a number of serious injuries sustained by linemen when their climbing spurs have come in contact with nails, staples and metal plates, often covered by placards or used to attach them to the poles, causing the workmen to slip and fall, not to mention the unsightly appearance occasioned by the placards on our streets and highways. In the past the appeal has not had the wholehearted support of many of the candidates, despite the fact that the posting of placards on poles is unlawful by California statutes of 1911. Local Banker Attends Session John N. Raleigh of the Southern County Bank of this city was among the Anaheim bankers attending the April dinner meeting of the Independent Bankers Association of Southern California, an organization composed of 65 community banks in this area. The meeting featured a forum discussion of unusual bank credit problems and their solution. Leading the discussion were E. J. Callister, assistant vice president, Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles, and J. W. Luhring, assistant vice president. Crash Fatal To Culver City Man Funeral services for William Melville Spencer, 57, of 3860 Van Buren place, Culver City, were conducted from the Grace chapel in Inglewood cemetery yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, with Hilgenfeld mortuary in charge of arrangements. Pinned beneath his car when it overturned after a collision Friday night, Spencer died a few minutes later from injuries suffered in the crash. The fatal accident occurred at 10:12 o'clock that night at the West North and North Lemon street intersection between cars driven by the deceased and Felix Gonzales Savala, 1030 North Patt street, Anaheim. Local police reported that the Spencer machine travelling west on North street collided headon into the middle right side of the other vehicle which was going north on North Lemon street when the Culver City man apparently failed to observe the stop sign. Spencer's 1930 Ford tudor spun around for a half-revolution, throwing him out then turning over on him. He was alone in the vehicle. None of the five men in the other machine, a 1935 Ford sedan, which was damaged slightly, were injured. The tudor was righted by Savala and his passengers, Paul Saucedo, 1026 Patt street; Carmen V. Gonzales, 1040 Kemp street; Jess R. Leos, 907 North Paulina street, and Jess V. Godoy, 1018 Kemp street, all of Anaheim. Dr. Alan Harmer, of 741½ N. Lemon street, who happened onto the scene, pronounced the Culver City man dead at 10:20 o'clock, approximately eight minutes after the accident. The Salava machine was driven away under its own power; serving in the Army and the Air Force, 220,000 are studying USAFI courses of their own free will and accord. There are 65,000 men attending organized classes while 155,000 are taking correspondence and self-teaching courses. The five most popular academic courses, according to the colonel, are history, mathematics, English, civics and bookkeeping. Supplementing these are the five most popular vocational courses—commercial art, aviation engines, mechanical drawing, automotive power plants, and radio communication. At the present time, 5,000 men a month are qualifying for high school diplomas or equivalent certificates. The next Aviation Cadet class will begin on July 1, 1948 at Randolph Field, Texas and Goodfellow Air Force Base at San Angelo, Texas. Unmarried men between the ages of 20 and 26½ years, who have completed two years of college or can pass an equivalent examination, are eligible to apply for training. Applicants must successfully pass an aviation cadet qualifying examination, board interview and a physical examination. The quota for the July class is 1040. All high school graduates and two year college men are urged to apply for this training. Pilot training lasts one year. Upon graduation, the cadet is commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the Air Reserve and will receive up to $336 monthly pay. A representative of the Air Force Personnel Procurement Division, in discussing the expansion of the Aviation Cadet Training Program before a Senate Armed Services sub-committee recently, urged that pay for Aviation Cadets be increased from the present $75 per month to $117.

Lemon street, who happened onto the scene, pronounced the Culver City man dead at 10:20 o'clock, approximately eight minutes after the accident. The Salava machine was driven away under its own power; Spencer's car had to be towed to a garage. A native of California, born near El Monte, Spencer was a member of Cootie No. 27 Veterans of Foreign Wars of Culver City, of Elks Lodge No. 906 Santa Monica, of the Building and Construction council of Riverside and San Bernardino counties and of the Hotel, Restaurant and Bartenders Union. It is believed he was returning from Palm Springs where he worked when the accident occurred. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eva M. Spencer of Culver City; one son, William Earl Ross; two daughters, Mrs. Esther M. Fredin and Miss Doris L. Ross, all of Culver City; two sisters, Mrs. Cecile O. Crawford of Manhattan Beach and Mrs. A. F. Schmidt of San Francisco and one brother, Ripley M. Spencer of Los Angeles. "HANK" SAYS ... Pvt. Thomas L. Kirkpatrick, former Anaheim man, whose parents live at 409 So. Rose street was in to see me the other day. Tom enlisted in the Signal Corps last February 9th and informs me that he has another two weeks of basic training to do and then will go to the leaders' school at Fort Ord where he is now stationed. The leaders' school set-up looked so good to Tom that he transferred to the Infantry to take advantage of it. He is well pleased with army life and says he is with a swell punch of fellows up there. He was home over the week-end on a three day pass and upon return to the Fort will finish his basic training and then will be promoted to Pfc. and be given a 20 day receive up to $336 monthly pay. A representative of the Air Force Personnel Procurement Division, in discussing the expansion of the Aviation Cadet Training Program before a Senate Armed Services sub-committee recently, urged that pay for Aviation Cadets be increased from the present $75 per month to $117. Roland L. Frink, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Frink, Olive Motel Apartments in Olive, enlisted for three years in the U.S. Air Force, and hopes to attend one of the Air Force technical schools. Frink had been a member of the 224th Infantry Regiment of National Guard and so has an excellent background and training for his chosen career. Latest intelligence from the National Office of Vital Statistics in Washington proves that people are living an average of six more years than they did back in 1933. Their reports show that people died then at an average age of 68.2 years while in 1946, the latest period covered by the Federal mortality tables, the death age was up to 64.2 years. There may be no connection between this report and the Army action to increase enlistments to six years, but it does prove that you can take that six-year hitch out of your life and still not be any worse off than those people that died in 1933. But even that might leave some room for argument by those characters who claim they would be better off dead. Maybe they would . . Governor Reduces County College Appropriation (Western News Service) The $2,000,000 placed in Governor Warren's 1948-49 budget by the legislature for the purchase of a site and construction of buildings for a state college in Orange county or southeastern Los Angeles county, was reduced to $1,500,000 by the governor when he signed the budget bill recently. In announcing the cut, the governor said that he reduced the amount not because it is excessive, and "even more money will be needed in the future, but since no part of this appropriation can be expended without further legislative authority, no harm can be go to the leaders' school at Fort Ord where he is now stationed. The leaders' school set-up looked so good to Tom that he transferred to the Infantry to take advantage of it. He is well pleased with army life and says he is with a swell bunch of fellows up there. He was home over the week-end on a three day pass and upon return to the Fort will finish his basic training and then will be promoted to Pfc. and be given a 20 day furlough before starting the leaders' school. In the near future, all districts will receive an initial shipment of the American Campaign Medal, the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, and the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal. These medals have just recently been cast, and will be available before long. Upon receiving my supply for this district, I will inform your local newspapers so that all you Veterans (Air Force or Army) can drop in to my office to get them. Yes, this is a new Army and a new Air Force and to prove it note what Col. Walter E. Sewell, Chief Education Branch, Troop Information and Education Division, Department of the Army, had to say relative to educational participation by servicemen. "In spite of the fact that the Army and the Air Force are only one-tenth of their wartime strength and composed entirely of volunteers, the interest in education is at an all-time high as measured by percentage participation and course and test completion." Driving home this point, Colonel Sewell pointed out that of the approximately 900,000 now buildings for a state college in Orange county or southeastern Los Angeles county, was reduced to $1,500,000 by the governor when he signed the budget bill recently. In announcing the cut, the governor said that he reduced the amount not because it is excessive, and "even more money will be needed in the future, but since no part of this appropriation can be expended without further legislative authority, no harm can be done by reducing it."
