1949 Telephone Growth in Southland Phenomenal telephone increase in southern California exchanges of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company since the end of the war is shown graphically in this illustration. Pacific Company Adds 104,000 Southland Telephones During 1949 Unfilled Orders Reduced 51%; Plan $50,000,000 Expansion in 1950 Nearly 104,000 telephones were added in southern California exchanges of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company during 1949, a history-making year of accelerated expansion highlighted by increased equipment and facilities for more telephones and improved service. This announcement of continuing communications progress was made by manager R. J. Rossberg. He said that the telephone gain last year has increased the number now served by the Pacific company in the southland to nearly 1,590,000. There were 599 telephones added in the Anaheim area since September, 1945, when the war came to an end and when Pacific Telephone started the greatest expansion program in its history, about 2½ times the amount pended during an average pre-year. "Pacific Telephone's continued expansion program will provide equipment and facilities for more telephones to serve waiting applants," the manager declared. "Greater expansion will make more value to telephone users, the value of telephone service in the number of people you reach and the number who reach you." USO Announces Spring Campaign SAN FRANCISCO—USO spring fund appeals will open within next few weeks in nearly a quarter of counties over the state, with goals totaling approximately $28,000, according to announcement by A. J. Gock, board chairman of the Bank of America, who is serving as state campaign chairmen for USO in California. Gock pointed out that the coming spring campaigns will be held only in areas which were reached by the general nation and state USO fund appeal in closing months of last year. That time citizens of San Francisco, Los Angeles, and many other cities contributed in the U.S. through their respective Community Chest campaigns. "It is essential to conduct the spring campaigns so that every community in California will be reached by the USO appeal," Gock said. "With the Cold War requiring maintenance of our Army Forces at 1,500,000 men for perhaps many years to come, the U.S. must be supported adequately on a permanent basis by the civilian population; and every day that can be raised is needed finance USO's famous 'home away from home' service to boys uniform." Nearly 104,000 telephones were added in southern California exchanges of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company during 1949, a history-making year of accelerated expansion highlighted by increased equipment and facilities for more telephones and improved service. This announcement of continuing communications progress was made by manager R. J. Rossberg. He said that the telephone gain last year has increased the number now served by the Pacific company in the southland to nearly 1,590,000. There were 599 telephones added in the Anaheim exchange during 1949, making a total of 6960 in service here. Unfilled applications for new service were reduced from 84,500 to 41,300—more than 51 per cent—during the year, despite a continuing heavy telephone demand in most exchanges. "While this figure is higher than we should like," the manager said, "it is approaching normal. For at all times there are some telephones on order awaiting completion." 3553 Phones Here R. J. Rossberg pointed out that since September, 1945, when the war came to an end and when Pacific Telephone started the greatest expansion program in its history, the company has added about 568,000 telephones in its 79 southern California exchanges, of which 3553 were added in the Anaheim exchange. He attributed the unprecedented telephone gain to the large post-war influx of population which has migrated to southern California and to the demand for telephone service from persons who never before wanted it. R. J. Rossberg also announced that the telephone company's expansion program for 1950 plans gross construction of more than $50,000,000 in the southland— BOUNCING BOY Tipping the scales at e-pounds, eight and one-half ounces a baby son was born to Mr. Mrs. Salvador Herrera, 108 Rose street, Placentia, in Orlando County hospital, Monday.

Seeing and living in the devastation of the war, her desire to talk with the foreign people and to see how they had recovered from the last great war, gave her the inspiration for her return visit and as a delegate to the Paris conference. Her talk was greatly enjoyed and gave the members a new retrospect of foreign problems in international relations.
