Excise Tax Cut Benefits Phone Users
An estimated total of $8,000 a month will be saved by Anaheim telephone users starting today (April 1), effective date of the excise tax reductions recently voted by Congress, according to Herbert Perry, local manager of Pacific Telephone.
Cut are excise or “sales,” taxes on all telephone service from 15 and 25 percent to 10 per cent. Tax reductions are effective on bills dated April 1 and thereafter.
The largest tax cuts will be on long distance calls costing 25 cents or more now taxed at 25 per cent. Thus, where telephone users previously paid $2.50 in taxes on $10 worth of toll calls, they will pay only $1.
Tax reductions also mean that on bills dated on and after April 1 for residence and business service here excise taxes on basic charges will be reduced from 15 per cent to 10 per cent.
“These tax reductions, carefully considered by Congress will mean savings to all telephone users,” Perry declared.

Footlighters On The Road Again
The M Y. F. Footlighters of White Temple Methodist Church, who have brought fame to Anaheim in four states on the Pacific Coast, are about to shove off for their annual road-show tour. The troupe of youthful thespians, under the personal direction of their pastor, Rev. Frank E. Butterworth, and his wife, will give a series of one-night performances in key churches throughout Northern California during Holy Week.
Their production this year is R. F. Delderfield's English stage hit "Spark in Judea." It is a 3-act play, elaborately costumed in the Roman motif, and portraying the political intrigue in the court of Pontius Pilate at the time of the crucifixion of Jesus The story centers around Pilate's difficulties in financing his public works project, an aqueduct to bring fresh water into the City of Jerusalem from the pools of Solomon. The conflict between the military and civilian authorities is sharp against a background of difficult marital adjustments for the wife of a colonial governor. The story is not without accurate historical foundation and much research.
Standard Oil Company of California Reviews Seventy-Five Historic Years
During its 75 year history, Standard Oil Company of California and its subsidiaries have built up a complex network of thousands miles of crude oil and products pipe lines throughout the West Above, a typical pipe line laying operation.
Standard Oil Company of California has a significant birthday coming up in 1954, observing the 75th anniversary of its corporate history on September 9, the date on which a small group of visionary oilmen organized the original predecessor company of the present firm.
President T. S. Petersen, with Standard since 1922, described the anniversary as "a milestone in the growth and maturity that has been achieved by the company in the years that this firm and its predecessors have been in operation, we have been privileged to be a part of one of the most amazing industrial developments of all time.
"From modest beginnings, western oil companies such asours have flourished and expanded to additional successes in many other parts of America and the world.
"Today, our operations are international in scope; we can no longer be considered a purely regional concern. But we continue to take great pride in our western origins.
"Believing the West's healthy economic climate has been a key factor in our success."
In the state at Newhall, a months later.
Standard laid the first pipe line up the San Joaquin ley to its Richmond Refinery 1903, and established the first tomobile service station in Arica at Seattle in 1907.
Persian Gulf Discovery
Probably the most interesting of all the company's "firsts" the discovery of oil on Bah Island, in the Persian Gulf, in 1903 and in Saudi Arabia in 1907.
Irrespective of its past accomplishments, however, Standard California continues to main a policy of planned expansion the budget for the current year approximately $275,000,000 has earmarked for capital and exporter purposes.
Nearly two-thirds of the or about $175,000,000 will be to find new oil reserves and the development of production existing fields. The balance will be spread throughout other erations.

History Traced
Standard of California, which traces its lineage to both the original Standard Oil Company and the first native California oil industry, dates its corporate history from the founding of Pacific Coast Oil Company in 1879.
Later purchased by the Standard Oil interests the P. C.O. in 1906, was merged with another Rockefeller company, Standard Oil Company (Iowa), to form Standard Oil Company (California). The latter firm became a completely independent company, with its own directors and stockholders, when the vast Standard Oil Company holdings were broken up by the Supreme Court dissolution decree of 1911.
Continuing to operate entirely independent of other major Standard Oil companies to this day, Standard Oil Company of California acquired its present name in 1926, evolving out of a corporate reorganization of Standard (Californial).
Standard of California has some significant "firsts" to its credit:
Drilling of Pico No. 4, California's first commercially successful oil well in 1876 and erection of one of the earliest refineries

Successful 1954 Predicted By Anaheim C. C. Manager At Annual Dinner Meeting
Promotion is Set to Aid Orange Men
A relatively new program to aid the promotion of fresh California oranges will be undertaken by the Orange County Agricultural Extension Service, according to J. J. Cooney, county director of agriculture.
Decision to aid in the program was the outcome of a recent meeting between Orange County citrus marketing associations at which the Agricultural Extension Service was asked to take the lead.
A three-point program will stress the nutritive value of fresh oranges, ways of using fresh oranges in family and community meals and economic facts of the citrus industry.
Cooney said this type of consumer education is one that pays dividends to nearly every segment of society. While the type of program is relatively a new undertaking of the extension service, it apparently is here to stay, primarily because of the wide spread benefits to consumers as well as producers of California's commodities, he said. He stressed continued cooperation and enthusiasm of marketing organizations and
The year of 1954 will be a surprisingly successful one according to Chamber of Commerce Manager Ernie Moeller who made the prediction during his "State of the Chamber of Commerce" address Tuesday night at the group's annual meeting in the main dining hall of the Elks Club.

in informal petition among the residents of the Katella School District had a total of 307 signatures favoring, and 2 opposing, the opening of the two districts. This brought about by the large number of homes being built with the Katella School District but usually within the City of Anaheim.
Several hundred homes will be put in this area below Ball Rd., within the next year and the Katella School District would not use the financial resources to hire for the large number of children who would be living in these housing tracts.
By this action the Anaheim City School District encompasses almost all of the City of Anaheim as the area generally designated "Greater Anaheim."
