Telephone Company Synchronizes with Standard Time Sun. Clock watchers had nothing on Pacific Telephone operators who at one time doled out the correct time every 15 seconds, 240 times an hour, 24 hours a day. That's all over now according to local telephone manager Herb Perry, and has been for the past few years. With the coming of Standard time again, last Sunday at 2 a.m., dialing ULrich 3-1212 will get the new correct time from a mechanical "whatsis" with a velvet voice. The voice belongs to an attractive brunette who lives in the heart of the cotton-belt and canebrake country, Atlanta, Georgia. The "whatsis" called the Audchrone, is leased by Pacific Telephone as an added service to telephone users in obtaining the correct time. The jet black machine specializing in up-to-the-second accuracy loses approximately half-a-second every three years. Audible and visible alarms are activated automatically if trouble develops to assure residents of 24 hours' time service. The voice behind the voice of Miss Audichrone is Mrs. Berrien (Mary) Moore, Jr., mother of three and a Vassar College graduate. Her letter-perfect diction currently is heard on time recordings in more than 100 cities throughout the nation. P-TA Council Has Busy First Session of Year The Anaheim Union Council of Parents and Teachers are off to a good start. The first meeting of the 1957-58 year was called to order by the president, Mrs. Philip Bird, using as her first topic, "Let's Get Acquainted With Council Officers and Chairmen." Miss E. Kate Res, Council advisor, who led in the pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, was introduced by Mrs. Bird. "Pulling Together as a Team," was the theme of Mrs. Arthur Korn's spiritual thought. Guest speakers of the morning were Robert Shanks, superintendent of the Anaheim Elementary Schools, Ray Terry of Anaheim Union High School Board of Trustees and Mrs. Edwin Kersten from the Board of Family Service Association. Mr. Shanks welcomed all Anaheim Elementary presidents of P-TA and urged all members to attend the monthly superintendent and P-TA presidents' meetings. Terry spoke on the great importance of voting on Oct. 24 for the continuing of the three-year tax over-ride. Mrs. Kersten briefed the members on the services of the Family Service Association and asked for volunteers to work on the United Fund Drive. Council officers and chairmen were introduced and each in turn spoke of his different conferences to be held during the week. A committee was appointed to Bank of America Adds to Sponsored Awards Program The big increase in student enrollment in the high schools of southern California has caused Bank of America to make important changes in its statewide Achievement Awards program for high school seniors this year. Jesse W. Tapp, chairman of the bank's board of directors, this week announced a whole new division for the southland competitions, and $9,300 in additional cash awards. This brings the total for the three geographical divisions of southern California to $31,400. Added to the $22,800 awarded in the two divisions of northern California, this makes the statewide cash total $54,200. In the southland, additional awards of 700 gold trophies and 2,000 certificates of achievement will go to seniors who have made superior records as young citizens and scholars during their last three years of high school. Similar awards are made in northern California. In former years there were two southland geographical divisions—the Los Angeles City Schools division, and a division consisting of all other high schools of southern California. This year only the Los Angeles City Schools division will be the same. The remaining old southern California division will be cut in half by a line running approximately from south of Long Beach to just north of Needles. Since the two divisions thus formed will and visible alarms are activated automatically if trouble develops to assure residents of 24 hours time service. The voice behind the voice of Miss Audichrone is Mrs. Berrien (Mary) Moore, Jr., mother of three and a Vassar College graduate. Her letter-perfect diction currently is heard on time recordings in more than 100 cities throughout the nation. Briefly, Mary's voice finds its way into the machine the same way sound is synchronized with a motion picture. Her voice is put on film and played back through a speaker in the Audichrone. In preparing for a recording session, Mary studies her script and decides on the most perfect and pleasant way to say the words. The tape recording she made was then put on film and wound on revolving drums that fitted the Audichrone. So, next time when dialing the time number ULrich 3-1212 and finding yourself inadvertently saying "thank you," — just remember that your politeness is falling on the deaf ear of a machine whose voice was recorded some 2500 miles from here. Anaheim Garden Club to Enter Riverside Show The Anaheim Garden Club, thrust its secretary, Mrs. W. R. Ward, 2019 East Center Street, has been invited to compete in a statewide flower arrangement contest at the ninth annual "Fashions in Roses" show in Riverside Oct. 12 and 13.

Many more seniors will get into the zone and final competitions, as there will be 14 zones in the southland instead of the former nine, besides the six zones of Los Angeles City.
