To whisk away bothersome cut hairs from the face and neck, many modern beauty shops are using the new type of sanitary "whisk-er" shown here. Like many other popular products for personal care, this new beauty aid is disposable. It is fashioned by folding a soft creped tissue strip into a brush-like pad, which is thrown away after one use. In contrast to old-style dusters which are used for one person after another, the tissue strip provides individualized, sanitary care.

Perry, your Telephone Manager in Anaheim MEET 'PAT' STARR Evelyn Starr, one of the two Chief Operators in our Anaheim Exchange will be skimming the briny blue this summer if all goes well with the building of a 20-foot Highlander Sailboat which her husband has undertaken. Evelyn, known better as Pat (don't ask me why—) is kept busy during working hours seeing that your calls go through without delay or interruption. She has been in her present position 3 years, although she has 18 years of service with our company, starting as an operator in Santa Ana. Pat and her husband own their home in Fullerton, which is convenient to her husband's business in Newport Beach, as well as her office. Pat is kept busy at home, but she'll certainly find time to try her hand at sailing. Sounds like fun, Skipper. New type of voiceway goes to work in rural areas The telephone cable boating put up by this line... New type of voiceway goes to work in rural areas The telephone cable being put up by this lineman is one of the newest things in the telephone business. It looks like nothing so much as an old-fashioned twist of licorice. But actually it’s six pairs of wire coated with a special abrasive-resistant plastic. The new cable was especially designed for use in telephone lines in areas where homes are widely scattered. It’s extremely light and easy to work with. And its cost in use is less than other kinds of wire. Savings like this help us keep good telephone service one of the best buys in your family budget. Pacific Telephone works to make your telephone a bigger value every day. Need tools in a hurry? Here’s the place to find them Seems like ‘most everyone’s a “do-it-yourself” fan these days. That makes this tip handy to remember. When you need new tools to start one of these jobs, a good place to look is in the Yellow Pages of your telephone book. Fact is, the Yellow Pages show where you can find ‘most anything you want. That’s because nearly everyone in town with something to sell advertises in them. So next time you need something fast, just turn to the handy Yellow Pages. ALIF. H. S.

NEW VETERANS RULES EXPLAINED President Eisenhower has signed Public Law 7 permitting servicemen in the armed forces on Jan. 31, 1955, to earn up to 36 months of entitlement to Korean GI Bill education and training. Previously, a presidential proclamation had set Jan. 31 as the cut-off point for GI Bill entitlement; time spent on active duty after that date would not count toward training. Now, however, veterans who entered military service on or before Jan. 31 will continue to build up GI training entitlement after that date. Entitlement to Korean GI education and training accrues at the rate of one and one-half times a veteran's length of active duty. The maximum is 36 months of training—enough for four ninemonth years of college work. The new law specifies that veterans may not earn entitlement after their first discharge or release from active service, occurring after Jan. 31, 1955. It also establishes a new deadline for those veterans, beyond which training may not be given; Jan. 31, 1965, or eight years after discharge or release, whichever comes first. The new law will be particularly helpful to the thousands of young men who entered military service shortly before the January 31 cut-off point, since it will allow them to count their service after that date for GI training purposes. It also will benefit all servicemen not built up. Orange Show to Have Citrus Study Revolving around the theme "Economy in Production," a panel of experts in citriculture and other phases of citrus fruit production will thoroughly discuss the various problems confronting the industry at the annual Citrus Institute to be held in conjunction with the fortieth National Orange Show in San Bernardino March 17-27. The Citrus Institute, scheduled for the afternoon of March 24, plus the evening banquet, has long been considered the heart of the world's largest citrus exposition: Growers and men versed in the vast California citrus industry gather at the Citrus Institute building for round-table discussions of the many problems. On Citrus Institute Day all growers and members of their families are the invited guests of the National Orange Show management. After the evening banquet the honored guests attend the Swing auditorium stage show and tour the National Orange Show grounds. On this year's program, according to Ralph LaRue, farm advisor and chairman of the National Orange Show Citrus Institute committee, all discussions will be slanted toward economy in the production of citrus fruits. Many of the speakers will be from the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. Starting at 1:30 p.m., March 24, the afternoon will be devoted to the following speakers: H. C. importation of foreign citrus relections; E. C. Calavan on the lem-on decline problem; Dr. R. L. Perry of Davis, California, on the new developments in fruit handling and Roy McClain on the future of the industry. New Income Tax Exemptions Listed Certain types of income may be omitted from gross income when preparing a Federal income tax return. Social Security, workmen's compensation, gifts, devices bequests and inheritances, interest on state and municipal bonds and life insurance proceeds payable upon death of an insured person, are examples. Insurance and damages for bodily injury or sickness have also been on the excluded list for many years. This year, for the first time, payment by an employer to an employee under a plan whereby they constitute payments in lieu of wages, for periods that the employee is absent from work or account of injury or sickness, may also be excluded, up to the amount of the regular wages, but not exceed $100.00 per week. This new exclusion applies from the first day of absence from work, if such absence is caused by injury; but only to payment after the first seven days, caused by illness, unless the employee was hospitalized at least one full day at any time during the period of absence from work. Such hospitalization makes the first seven days' compensation so is excludable. Station Training Train Offered Station training with pay is offered the young men and women of Southern California as Air Station Los Alamitos tries to launch its 1955 Avia-Summer Camps. Scheduled July, the camps offer a young man a glimpse of military life through 90 days of active duty, advancement in the Naval Reserve and return to civilian life at the conclusion of training. The men and women between the age of 17 and 18½ years are able for enrollment. The 1955 season will be held from June 9, and from June 19 through September 16. While in training, students will have full Navy pay, free meals lodging, medical and dental care, $10,000 in government life insurance and complete issues of forms. The courses offer a complete introduction to Navigation and are highlighted by visits in Naval aircraft and practical training on the flight lines. Complete details will be furnished by the Aviation Technical Training Officer at Naval Air Station Los Alamitos. Highway Patrol learns: "It's Safer to Wait..." Right of way snatchers cause many of every seven traffic accidents in unincorporated areas. California Highway Patrol records indicate that 9605 accidents the 67,256 investigated by the patrol during 1954 resulted from violation of either pedestrian or motor vehicle right of way. Much of our 'right of way' is privilege of the immediate use on the highway. Sections of the vehicle code dealing with specific problems of right of way regulate which vehicle or driver It also establishes a new deadline for those veterans, beyond which training may not be given; Jan. 31, 1965, or eight years after discharge or release, whichever comes first. The new law will be particularly helpful to the thousands of young men who entered military service shortly before the January 31 cut-off point, since it will allow them to count their service after that date for GI training purposes. It also will benefit all servicemen who had not built up maximum entitlement by Jan. 31. Before the law was enacted, a man who went on active duty Jan. 1, 1955, for example, could have earned entitlement only through the end of January—or about a month and a half of training. Now he will be able to build up training time for as long as he remains on active duty—up to the maximum or up to the date of his first discharge. The law does not apply to those who began their military service after Jan. 31, 1955; they are not eligible for GI Bill training. It affects only those who started their military service before Jan. 31 and who had not accrued maximum GI training entitlement by that date. On this year's program, according to Ralph LaRue, farm advisor and chairman of the National Orange Show Citrus Institute committee, all discussions will be slanted toward economy in the production of citrus fruits. Many of the speakers will be from the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside. Starting at 1:30 p.m., March 24, the afternoon will be devoted to the following speakers: H. C. Meith speaking on orchard appraisal's role in production; B.E. Day on weed control; H.D. Chapman on economy in the use of nitrogen and other elements and foliage sprays; S.H. Cameron of the University of California at Los Angeles on the summary of pruning experiments; J.C. Johnston on the when and how of citrus irrigation; P.H. DeBach on pest control (biological); G.E. Carman on chemical pest control; J.M. Wallace on the program for of the regular wages, but not exceed $100.00 per week. This new exclusion applies from the first day of absence from work, if such absence is caused by injury; but only to payment after the first seven days, caused by illness, unless the employee was hospitalized at least one full day at any time during the period of absence from work. Such hospitalization makes it so is excludable. Space is provided on both Forn 1040 and Form 1040-A for claiming this special exclusion.
