March 24, 1956 Give Pedestrian A Break, Says Patrol Chief One out of four of California's traffic victims last year was walking. California Highway Patrol Commissioner B. R. Caldwell cited this fact today after reviewing a Highway Patrol statistical survey which shows that 706 of the 3104 persons killed in the state last year were pedestrians. "The report definitely indicates that many motorists are failing to accept their responsibility where pedestrian right of way is concerned," Caldwell declared. Southland Business At High Level Stability at a high level characterized the business picture in Southern California during February, according to James F. McWaters, manager of Security-First National Bank's Anaheim Branch. Quoting from the Monthly Summary of Business Conditions in the Southern Half of California as compiled by the bank research department he stated that most measures of economic activity in this area last month showed little change from January. However, practically all economic indicators showed very favorable comparisons with February 1954—the low month of the 1953-54 readjustment period.

Livingston, President of The First National Bank of Chicago and President, American Bankers Association LIKE MILLIONS OF OTHER AMERICANS, you probably know that our government's Series E Savings Bonds rank among the surest, safest and best investments in the world. But I wonder if you realize that an extremely attractive feature has been added. You can now hold them for as long as 19 years, 8 months and U. S. Series E Savings Bonds will return you a total yield of 80% on your investment! So, if you can possibly arrange it, hold your Bonds for the maximum period—19 years, 8 months. And, of course, go on investing in U. S. Series E Savings Bonds regularly. If you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond ten years ago, it could be redeemed for $50.00 today. You would make $12.50. There's no finer investment an American can make. If you want your interest as current income, ask your banker about 3% Series If you invested $37.50 in a Savings Bond ten years ago, it could be redeemed for $50.00 today. You would make $12.50. But if you keep that Bond for ten more years, you will make a total of $29.84 on your original investment. In other words, if you hold your Bonds for double their original period, your total yield is considerably more than just double. There's no finer investment an American can make. If you want your interest as current income, ask your banker about 3% Series H Bonds which pay interest semiannually by Treasury check. Now even better! Invest more in Savings Bonds! WHAT'S DOING H. I. Perry, your Telephone Manager in Anaheim Mrs. Jamison, Your Chief Operator Because the heavy volume of calls handled here in Anaheim necessitates a large staff, we have two Traffic Offices. Each has about 125 people on the payroll. Pat Starr, whom we introduced last month, heads up one unit, while Dorothy Jamison, pictured here, is Chief Operator of the other. Dorothy has worked in Orange County since 1925, although for a four-year period shortly after World War II she worked in San Bernardino. In fact, her telephone experience dates back to a five-year period with an independent company in San Jacinto shortly after World War I. She has seen this area grow from sprawling citrus country to the busy community of homes and industry it is today, and has many friends here. Dorothy and her husband live in Anaheim and enjoy the fine fishing which its proximity to the Pacific offers. But her first and most exciting "hobby" is her grandson — and we understand this is about to be expanded with the advent of another 'bundle from heaven' in th near future. We War I. She has seen this area grow from sprawling citrus country to the busy community of homes and industry it is today, and has many friends here. Dorothy and her husband live in Anaheim and enjoy the fine fishing which its proximity to the Pacific offers. But her first and most exciting "hobby" is her grandson — and we understand this is about to be expanded with the advent of another 'bundle from heaven' in the near future. We feel Dorothy enjoys a full and exciting life and has contributed much to her community and her country in being a good housewife and mother, as well as taking an active part in the growth of its communication system, its life line. Cable "doctors"—they roll out day or night Fortunately, this scene isn't common. Telephone cables can usually be fixed in daylight. But once in a while, on the quiet streets here in town, you'll see cable "doctors" taking care of an emergency at night. For along with policemen, firemen, and the like, telephone people help keep the night watch while the rest of the community sleeps. Operators, testmen, and repairmen are on the job throughout the quiet hours. Indeed, one of the big values of your telephone service is that it never rests. Your telephone is ready to serve you whenever you need it, 'round the clock. Pacific Telephone works to make your telephone a bigger value every day.
