"Moving with the normal and legal flow of traffic is also important for safety," Caldwell continued. "Drivers who race along cutting in and out of traffic or who lag so slow they interfere with others are headed for an accident or a citation." "Other laws applying to multi-lane driving include proper signals when changing lanes or planning to turn, keeping a safe distance behind the car ahead and preparing yourself for anticipated turns by getting into the correct lane well in advance of the turn," he concluded. "Free-way and multi-lane highway driving can be accident free if drivers will obey the rules."

Edison Company Asks Rate Increase; Second in 34 Years Harold Quinton, Southern California Edison Company president, said today regarding the company's application for a rate increase that it has been Edison's practice through the years to do everything possible to hold down costs of electric service to its customers. This effort has resulted in delaying for many years the passing along of the costs of inflation to the general public. He stressed that, when authorized by the PUC, this would be only the second general rate increase for the company in 34 years. "The increase which the company now seeks will restore its over-all rates to approximately the level of rates in 1940," he pointed out. "While we regret the need for any increase, we are proud of the record of only one single increase thus far of less than 7 per cent, and of the now requested increase of only 16 per cent in the face of price advances for everything we buy, which have ranged in the area of 100 to 300 per cent." Edison has taken full advantage of all technical advances in the art of generating and supplying electricity, he said. This has resulted in more and more kilo- State Income Tax Returns All Mailed Robert C. Kirkwood, chairman of the Franchise Tax Board, stated today last 1956 state income tax returns have been mailed to everyone who filed a return last year. "The return form is changed this year to simplify the computation of tax for married couples filing joint returns," Kirkwood declared. The tax may now be determined by direct reference to the Optional Tax Table or to the Tax Rate Schedule without the necessity of first splitting the income. The tax board chairman stated that, due to the continuing increase in population and the general prosperity of California, the number of returns filed will probably be about 3,700,000 for 1956. This is a jump of about 10 per cent over the previous year. "State income tax returns must be filed by all single individuals who earned $2,000 or more last year, and by all married couples whose earnings were $3,500 or more," Kirkwood said. Kirkwood stated the Franchise Tax Board maintains branch offices throughout the state where taxpayers may obtain help with their returns. Anyone needing help with his state income tax return should call at the Board Office, 206 State Building, Los Angeles. B2 - Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Calif., Thurs., Feb. 28, 1957 COMEDY STAR GEORGE GOBEL SAVS: "Neighbors, lets help the folks who teach democracy and fair play. The YMCA is a fine organization made up of such folks. It deserves our support." Edison has taken full advantage of all technical advances in the art of generating and supplying electricity, he said. This has resulted in more and more kilowatt-hours of energy being produced from given amounts of fuel. All possible efficiencies in administration, organization and operation also have been strenuously pursued by the company, Quinton said. Edison's generating capacity prior to the current inflationary period, together with transmissions and distribution facilities already built, also made it possible in past years to serve a large proportion of the company's load growth with pre-inflation built hydroelectric plants and other existing facilities.

English, philosophy, foreign languages and social science staff members have offices in this building. Millions of women write this cryptic note on their calendars every month. It reminds them that this is the day to practice a life-saving technique. You see, these are the fortunate women who saw our film BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION and learned a simple method of examining their breasts for possible signs of cancer. They learned, too, that most cancers are curable if discovered early and treated properly — that, indeed, many a woman has actually saved her own life by practicing BSE. These millions of women recognize that cancer is a universal threat — and a personal responsibility. That's why they faithfully practice self-examination of the breasts once a month. The startling result is that 95% of all breast cancers are first discovered by women themselves. But the present cure rate of 45% could be increased if more breast cancers were detected and treated early. That is why we urge every woman to see the film BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION. You can arrange to screen it at your club, your community center, at your plant or office. Just call the nearest unit of the American Cancer Society or write to "Cancer" in care of your local Post Office.
