THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) FROM the Optimist "Opti-Scope": "One of Rev. Stief's church members said to him, 'Parson, every Monday morning I see the ministers hereabouts gathering at your house. What are you doing?' "To tell you the truth", Harry said, "We exchange sermons." "Well, don't do it!", warned the member. "You get stuck every time." ONCE again the "Pirates" will invade the west coast. This time, however, they come by land (or air) and they are known as the Pittsburgh Pirates. GRANT MUSICK is known in Anaheim as Mr. Prosperity himself this month as he spearheads a "Buy Now" campaign. He was so enthused about the whole thing he gave serious consideration to buying an automobile of another make than De Soto or Plymouth. That's really doing a great selling job, Grant. AND, the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce still has "Buy Now" kits containing automobile bumpers stickers, buy-now buttons, and other attention compellors. Join the rest of the merchants get Final Rites for Mrs. Eva Boyd, Active Pioneer Anaheim Woman Mrs. Eva H.

Velvet Voice of Time-of-Day Gets Ready for Daylight Saving Change DESSERT would be much easier to refuse if Helen, at Dorothy and Wade's, wouldn't give it such a buildup like, "delicious, luscious, smooth, creamy" when she describes the strawberry pie. AN Airborne Club, composed of former paratroopers, was asking a request from the city council the other night. Mayor Pearson said he didn't know much about the Airborne club and asked for an explanation. Funny thing, too. In my experience with other city councils I have found them to be airborne many times. THIS IS public schools week and a wonderful opportunity to visit the philosophers who are molding the lives of our future citizens. I'm not sure, however, how much "molding" is done, anymore. It may be very much like former newsmen who thought they were molders of public opinion. How times have changed! HAVE you noticed in newspaper reports that candidates are always "seeking" office. How silly. That sounds like hide-and-seek. When, in reality, the candidate is going to work like the dickens and pay out a small fortune for expenses, to try to grab the job. He's not "seeking" he's fighting. More than 65,000 prisoners of war and civilian deportees in World War II have been repatriated during the past six years. Velvet Voice of Time-of-Day Gets Ready for Daylight Saving Change Juke box surveys to the contrary—the most listened to record in southern California—about 260,000 "spins" a day—will never make the "Hit Parade."

From center of Los Angeles the vans is sent by telephone lines to exchange where it is passed on subscribers when they call.

Southern Pacific issued this simple rule, which it said will apply to all but a few of its passengers: Trains operating exclusively within the state will shift to Daylight time—those leaving California will remain on Standard time. Rule of Thumb As a rule of thumb, catch local trains by your watch but remember to do a mental shift back to Standard time for a cross country trip. The few exceptions to the rule are necessary because of connections with other trains and other railroads, plus the fact that all states don't have Daylight time. Therefore it's best to double-check the railroad timetables, SP advised. All commuters have to do, the railroad pointed out, is set their watches ahead April 27 and continue to catch their trains at the same times they always have. The commutes will switch to Daylight time with everybody else. W. L.
