That's why Standard opened the West's first petroleum research laboratory 32 years ago—and invests about $6 million annually in research today. low, and they compete intensely for your patronage. That’s why Standard opened the West’s first petroleum research laboratory 32 years ago—and invests about $6 million annually in research today. LIVING COST up 53% since 1925 FOOD up 70% since 1925 CLOTHING up 65% since 1925 GASOLINE up only 20% (excluding tax) One result you see here. Thanks to competition, gasoline prices (aside from taxes) have risen only 20% since 1925... less than half as much as practically anything else you buy. But there have been other benefits for you, too. Research, motivated by competition, has resulted in a steadily improving gasoline. Two gallons of modern gasoline do the work that required three in 1925, and this improvement has paved the way for lighter, much more efficient car engines that give you more power, performance and economy. Competition and research have led to better gas station service, as well, and to the world-wide search that has discovered the largest known oil reserves in America's history. Last year alone, Standard Oil Company of California invested $225 million in exploration, new oil wells, and improved facilities to keep pace with our competition. The net result to you is better gasoline at prices which make it one of the real bargains in your family budget. 75 years of planning ahead to serve you better STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA Broadway PTA General Meet short February business of the Broadway PTA, Tuesday, Feb. 9th, at 2:30 the school, Pledge of Allegiance was led by the color of the newly formed Troop.

Smith declares the county has doubled its voting strength in 20 years with 112,000 registered vot- Many Hold False Belief On State Ins. According to Russell R. McComb, Public Information officer, State Department of Employment, this week: "Almost daily someone who is applying for unemployment insurance declares, 'I've been paying into this fund, and I'm entitled to get my benefits.'" "This is a mistaken belief that is held by many persons, workers and employers alike." "The fact is that since 1946 the entire unemployment insurance tax has been paid by the employer. The amounts deducted from the workers' checks are for disability insurance only, not one penny is deducted for unemployment insurance." "We know that many employers' payroll check stubs show that the deduction was made for 'unemployment.' This fact adds to the incorrect belief that employees pay for unemployment insurance. We are taking action which we hope will result in all pay checks stubs showing that the deduction is for 'disability insurance.'" Employment Dept. "I should like to take this opportunity also to comment briefly on some of the things the Department of Employment has done to improve its service to the public since William A. Burkett was appointed director some 10 weekks ago," says McComb. "We have added about 150 employees to our local offices for the any traits that were used gone by Mrs. Moor used birthday theme for the high of her program, using a paper symbolizing guidance, awareness, and which was held by Sam Morgan, President P.T.A.

Burkett was appointed director some 10 weekks ago," says McComb. "We have added about 150 employees to our local offices for the purpose of improving our job placement service. This is an increase of more than 80 percent. "We have opened our offices to the public at 8 o'clock instead of 8:30. "We are giving personal, individual attention to each unemployment insurance claimant,rather than using the previous "mass meeting" method. "We are insisting that all of our offices give courteous service to every job seeker and claimant for unemployment insurance. "The job of revitalizing the department is not complete. Several more changes in procedures are being worked out which will cut red tape for the person who is looking for a job and the employer who is in need of qualified workers.

Mrs. Ruth Wilferth, and son, of 10042 Ball Road, Anaheim, are convinced the milk of human kindness is still flowing in Anaheim. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Wilferth parked her car on Center street. She was gone quite a while. The parking meter hand disappeared, the red sign flopped up and a talliliar uniformed figure moved nearer and nearer to her car. As Mrs. Wilferth hurried back she saw a woman slip some coins into the meter just ahead of the approaching officer, then hurry away with a smile and wave of her hand. Mrs. Wilferth tried to find out the woman's name but couldn't. However, she believes her benefactor is an employee in the escrow department of a nearby Savings and Loan Association.
