Page 4 Anaheim Gazette, January 27, 1949 Graph Shows Telephone Growth POSTWAR INCREASE OF TELEPHONES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA This illustration shows graphically the tremendous increase in the number of telephones served by the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company in southern California since the end of the war. 130,000 New Telephones Added in Southland in '48; Anaheim Gets 606 The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company today announced another record-breaking year during 1948 in expanding telephone facilities, improving service and adding new telephones in southern California, according to manager R. J. Rossberg. Discuss School Farm Financing Southern California school farm advisors and instructors from Ventura county to Imperial county 130,000 New Telephones Added in Southland in '48; Anaheim Gets 606 The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company today announced another record-breaking year during 1948 in expanding telephone facilities, improving service and adding new telephones in southern California, according to manager R. J. Rossberg. The company increased the number of telephones in southern California by more than 130,000 during the year to raise the total number of southland telephones served to over 1,458,000. In the Anaheim exchange 606 telephones were added in 1948 to increase to 6361 the number in service here. Expansion Continues "The company's tremendous and unprecedented expansion program—more than three times as large as any prewar year—was continued through 1948, and is still continuing in the new year," the manager stated. "Expansion at an accelerated rate is being continued so that applicants who are waiting will have telephones at the earliest possible time," he added. "Considerable progress has been made in reducing the number of applications being held for lack of facilities," Rossberg said. "The postwar peak of held orders was 150,000 in 1947. Even though we have installed 194,000 telephones since this peak was reached, the influx of new people and the demand for service continues so high that there are still about 84,-500 orders waiting for completion." 2954 Phones Since War Going back over the postwar period to the end of 1948, the manager said that the telephone company has added 463,800 telephones in southern California, of which 2954 were added in the Anaheim exchange. Rossberg pointed out that, as the number of telephones increases, every other subscriber has a greater and potentially more valuable service. The company's program in 1949 contemplates substantial reductions in the number of applications being held for lack of facilities, although new demands for service are continuing at approximately the same rate as in 1948. Discuss School Farm Financing Southern California school farm advisors and instructors from Ventura county to Imperial county discussed agricultural financing in the school farm program, during a special session held at the Orange County school work shop in Santa Ana yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. Delegates from Anaheim were Paul H. Demaree, superintendent; Milo Salben, agricultural instructor; and Joe Wilmore, assistant teacher of agricultural education. Seven county high schools and the Orange Coast, Santa Ana and Fullerton Junior colleges were represented. The sessions were led by chairman Dembigh of Los Angeles, supervisor of farm and agricultural education. Problems of financing discussed included the buying of feed, stock and equipment and the placement of profit from sale of produce and animals.

Wahlberg. This amendment was made following a survey of frost damage in Orange County. Damaged trees should not be pruned at this time. This is especially true of trees less than three years old. Dozens of requests for information on how damaged trees should be pruned have been received by the Agricultural Extension Service of the University California. Frost-damaged trees or shrubs should not be pruned but should be left until they begin spring growth. At that time will be easy to determine how much of the trees have actually been killed. When it is only the leaves and very smallest twigs that die, the larger limbs and trunks may be undamaged. For some rocks after a frost the trees usually look worse than they actualize. If pruned now, the grower only always cuts off more wood that has actually been killed. There is absolutely no harm to tree in allowing the dead need to remain. While the trees can be unsightly, it is much more critical to leave them until they are fully grown. The same principle holds for our trees that have been frozen. The little damage was done to foliage of mature citrus trees, pecan trees were severely affected in the coldest areas. Avocado production will be reduced year because of the wood.
