Hollywood Park Opens Famous Racing Season Hollywood Park, famous for its beauty as "the track of the lakes and flowers," has grown so phenomenally in the past decade that as it swings into its eighteenth thoroughbred racing season today, Thursday, May 9, it finds itself known as "the race track of superlatives." As the track gets its final grooming for its opening, it is in the position of being defending national leader in attendance, mutuel handle and purses. It has topped all U.S. tracks in attendance for one meeting during five of the past six years and set world's records for prize money to the horsemen for three years in a row. Hollywood Park's total attendance (1,681,176), daily average attendance (30,576) and total mutual handle ($120,162,450) were the highest in the U.S. Prize money paid by Hollywood Park to the horsemen ($3,568,900), daily average net distribution to the horsemen ($64,889), daily average gross distribution ($67,-595), the average per race ($8,074) for the 442 races of the 1956 meeting were world's records, the highest in the history of thoroughbred racing. At least one more world's record for one race meeting is assured for 1957 at Hollypark, which has announced an all-time high stakes program of approximately $1,165,000 in added money. Four one hundred-granders — The California, Westerner, Hollywood Gold Cup and Sunset Handicap — are included in the program of 30 stakes which will lead off on opening day with the $25,000 added Hollywood Premiere Handicap.

She is also through our Employees' Incentive Plan—one of our 5,906 employees who hold shares in the firm. This entitles her (along with over 65,000 other people who own shares in Union Oil) to a report on the 66th year of business of the 47th largest industrial company in the country. How we spent it In 1956 our customers paid us the record amount of $401,518,000. We spent 72.1% of this—or $289,481,000—with over sixteen thousand other companies and individuals with whom we do business. The more than 1000 tax collecting agencies took another 3.7% or $14,830,000. This does not include the $74,120,000 we collected from our customers as fuel taxes and turnover to governmental agencies. Wages and other benefits for our work and their families amounted to 15.7% or $62,966,000 of our income. The net profit This left 8.5%—or $34,241,000—as profit. Slightly more than half of these earnings—$18,261,315—were paid in cash dues to Renee Reifel and our other 65,000 share owners. (Note that our share owner received only about three and a half million dollars more than the various tax agencies which contributed nothing to the business.

The Society's symphony season closes on a year's record of five "Evenings Of Symphony"; three pairs of twin Symphonies For Youth which have delighted over 2500 children on a single Saturday; and two Chamber Music concerts. Also participation in the workshop orchestra, a training program sponsored by the Society, has grown to the point where the group was able to put on its own concert last November. Another feature has been added to the Society's work this year, the Concert Previews, a series of informal talks by Frieda Belinfante explaining the music to be heard at succeeding "Evenings Of Symphony". Featured during the season past have been soloists well known in the west: Pianist Mary Lehigh, operatic tenor Chris Lachona, and French horn player Willard Culley. Offering its music to Orange County audiences on an admission-free basis, the Society is supported through membership subscriptions ranging from $5 to $250, renewable yearly, and by fund raising events put on by the Society's auxiliary group, the Friends of Philharmonic. Major benefit affairs during the past season were the outstanding "Round The World In 60 Minutes" fashion show and bazaar last fall, the annual Philharmonic Ball-in February, and this week's (Wednesday, May 8th) gala fashion show luncheon, Symphony In Summer Fashions, featuring the exclusive line of "Helga" gowns.

It seems to us that this report does more than give an account of our stewardship to Renee Reifel and our other share owners. It points up the broader base of ownership of American business. In the last four years, for example, the shareholders of all companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange increased by 33%. Union Oil did even better—41%. This could happen only in a freely competitive economy that encourages and rewards individual effort. YOUR COMMENTS ARE INVITED.
