Astounding as it may seem, there's kind of beetle that can eat right through the lead cover of a telephone cable. The beetle's tiny it's hard to see. But the hole it leaves can let harmful moisture inside a cable. To prevent this, telephone people use a special repellent, which used to be brushed on cables tirelessly by hand. But the new sprayer—pulled by a man on the ground—puts the repellent three times faster. By saving valuable time, this cuts the cost of guarding cables. So it's big help in bringing you good telephone service that's high in value and low in price. Pacific Telephone works to make your telephone a bigger value every day. He helps teachers in 54,000 classrooms Radio was barely out of the earphone stage 26 years ago when a new program was beamed from a San Francisco studio. It featured a string trio and was based on the idea that good music, when clearly understood, could entertain and teach, too. Actually, only 72 Western schools had radio sets then, but with that performance the Standard School Broadcast went "on the air," to serve students and teachers of the West with a brand-new idea in educational aids. Today, when Conductor Carmen Dragon lifts his baton, it's "time for the Standard School Broadcast" in over 54,000 classrooms through the West, Alaska and Hawaii. Counting children, teachers and home listeners, the program reaches a weekly audience of nearly 1½ million. That string trio has grown to a symphonic orchestra with a dramatic cast, choral group and guest vocal and instrumental artists. Selections range the musical alphabet from symphony to jazz. Each year's course follows a carefully planned outline published in a manual supplied to teachers by Standard to serve as a guide in blending music enjoyment with subjects like art, literature, social studies. Now in its 27th year, the Standard School Broadcast is radio's oldest education program, heard today over more than 100 stations. Its goal is to help Western children gain an absorbing new interest in the world's good music and—through music—a broader knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Listen to Standard School Broadcast every Thursday. Check your newspaper radio log for time and station. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA 75 years of planning ahead to serve you better
