As a classroom trainer, the Drivotrainer gives students behind-the-wheel practice in how to avert a crash in typical highway emergencies, as well as experience in handling a wide variety of everyday driving situations designed to develop proper attitudes and good judgment.
Anaheim is one of a number of communities throughout the country where the school system has adopted the unique classroom driver-training technique, which was developed by the Aetna Casualty and Surety Company.

New $2½ Million Box Plant to Open in Fullerton
Another sizeable payroll, approximately $1,000,000 a year, comes to Fullerton this Spring with the opening of a new $2,500,000 fibre box plant by Growers Container Corporation. The big modern building is now being equipped with the most advanced machinery obtainable, and production is scheduled to start in the middle of March.
Opening with 80 to 85 employees, the company expects to increase personnel to around 150 as additional shifts are organized. It is hoped that all employees can be drawn from the Orange County and Los Angeles areas.
Like other plants of Growers Container at Salinas and at Jacksonville, Fla—the new plant will produce a complete line of corrugated boxes for every use and for every industry.
Although particular emphasis will be on the manufacture of containers for agricultural products, the company will produce cases for industrial use as well. The Fullerton site was selected because of its ideal proximity to many types of industries with need for corrugated shipping cases.
Heading the administrative staff will be Floyd A. Blower, manager, who is former owner-manager of the Blower Paper Company in Santa Ana, and a veteran in the packaging industry. Assistant manager is William C. Marckhoff, who has served southern California in corrugated container sales for almost ten years.
