EDITORIALS "Postal Service" BY POSTMASTER MARSHALL N. McFIE Our Anaheim post office is a direct link in the chain of postal communication which is nothing more or less than the biographies of men who have given throughout the ages, many forward-looking and courageous ideas to provide mail service for mankind. Chinese "Air Mail" Long before the Christian era, for example, an unknown Chinese originated the use of pigeons to send messages. Such "air mail" was frequently used by the ancient Chinese thousands of years ago. A letter was rolled in a little cylinder and attached to the middle tail feather of the bird. To frighten off birds of prey, small bells or whistles were also attached and often inscribed on the bells or whistles was the wish that "Fair Winds Will Follow Thee." Postmaster "Knew Everything"! Another eighth-century ruler of the Arabian Empire—Caliph Abu Djasar Manssar by name—was reported to have said that his throne rested on four pillars and his rule on four persons: a blameless Cadi (Chief Justice), an energetic Chief of Police, an honest Minister of Finance and a faithful Postmaster who gave him true information about everything. "Get on the Ball" During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, of England, "Post Boys" were often reminded of their important duties by patrons writing on their envelopes the warning phrase, "Haste, Post, Haste, for thy Lyfe. For Thy Lyfe, Haste." This, incidentally, is the origin of our phrase "post haste" still much used today. "Get on the Ball" During the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, of England, "Post Boys" were often reminded of their important duties by patrons writing on their envelopes the warning phrase, "Haste, Post, Haste, for thy Lyfe. For Thy Lyfe, Haste." This, incidentally, is the origin of our phrase "post haste" still much used today. And to Paul Revere, confidential post rider of Massachusetts, in company with William Dawes, was to be flashed the now-historic signal, "One if by land—two if by sea" from Boston's North Church's steeple enabling them to warn their fellow-citizens of the approach of British troops, resulting in the Battles of Lexington and Concord, first battles for American freedom. Free and Efficient Systems Nations, large and small, have always looked to free and efficient communications systems as vital cogs in their advancement and development. Without such systems, or where they are permitted to become inefficient, no nation, no matter how strong, can long survive. The basic strength of this nation is, to a large measure, dependent on such a belief. And all of us, the Anaheim post office or in the thousands of other post offices throughout the country, are dedicated to the preservation and advancement of those ideals. Ooh!! Those Post Cards Interestingly enough, no other than Martin Luther once said, "the violation of letter secrecy is a mortal sin, which will bring with it the loss of divine mercy." As your postmaster, I have the solemn responsibility of fulfilling my duty and developing, within the limits of my authority, the best possible mail service. You, as patrons of the Anaheim post office, are the ones to whom I and the other employees of this post office must, under the Constitution, be responsible. Pledge "Their Best" Together, we make up one important segment—not large nor small—in our nation's planning and building for the future. It is our duty, yours as well as mine, to give of our best for the sake of future peace and prosperity. We can do nothing less.

Truth in Advertising Right on the heels of National Advertising Week comes a release from the New England Journal of Medicine, January 30, 1958 issue, that indicates some types of advertising need strict examination before they are allowed to be published. This is a direct reflection on newspapers and newspaper advertising. It would seem that a fact-finding board, similar to Consumers Research, should be set up by the American Association of Advertising Agencies, or by a National Publishers Association. It would then be the obligation of this research group to examine and approve advertising claims before they are published in advertisements. How long will the reading public stand for this continued insulting of its intelligence? How many times can advertisers be caught making false claims and still retain the confidence of the buying public? Getting back to the Journal of Medicine, here is a direct quote which will surprise readers who are television fans and have seen the advertising: "Straight aspirin relieves pain as swiftly and effectively as buffered aspirin, and both produce an equally low incidence of stomach upset, according to results of two independent clinical studies". The article continues, "Both studies disclosed that as- Anahelm Gazette Anaheim, Calif., Thurs., Feb. 23, 1958 In and buffered aspirin are absorbed into the blood with equal speed. The small amounts of antacids commonly used in buffered aspirin offer no advantages over aspirin alone". How does that make you feel about the time you have wasting watching the television commercial? How does it make you feel toward the product which gave you missing information? Do you like to be played for a sucker? Other do I? Automobile dealers, cigarette manufacturers, yes and times lending institutions, have been tripped up by elements made in their advertisements which seemed to lead to intentionally mislead the public. Maybe we should have another National Advertising task and give ourselves another appraisal.

Pickering Clerk — Board of Trustees Magnolia School District Daled February 1958 Alabette, California WHAT'S DOING H. I. Perry, your Telephone Manager in Anaheim See that box on the telephone pole? It helps seven phone calls travel at the same time along this one pair of wires. That means one pair of wires is doing the job of seven! You'll get an idea of how it works if you think of a free-way, with cars running side by side in separate lanes. To carry your calls, a carrier system sets up separate voice lanes, or frequencies. With these extra voice lanes, phone lines can work a lot harder for you. Especially in rural areas, carrier systems are helping us bring more service to more people. When a fuse blows out at your house do you sometimes have a tough time seeing which one to replace? In a phone office, the grass- When a fuse blows out at your house do you sometimes have a tough time seeing which one to replace? In a phone office, the grasshopper fuse (left) helps solve that problem. (And it does kind of look like a grasshopper, don't you think?) When this fuse blows out, a colored bead springs out on a metal arm. So our people can spot it in a jiffy. Little things like this speed up repairs, save time when minutes count. Another Milestone — Saturday, February 15, 1958 Anaheim will become one of the three major toll centers in the United States for handling calls to Mexico. From this date forward it will handle all telephone calls from the ten Western States, Western Canada and the Hawaiian Islands going to and from Mexico. Direct lines from Anaheim to Mexico City have been installed. It is estimated these lines will handle an average of 200 to 250 calls a day. Of course on certain holidays this will increase to approximately 1200 per day. This is not only a progressive milestone for Anaheim, but also gives Anaheim an opportunity to say to its friendly neighbor across the border "SALUD".
