THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Funny thing about women, I've seen them have more trouble getting into a parking space, plenty wide for the car, yet they have no trouble at all in pouring themselves into dresses two sizes too small for them. Mel Gauer, retired but not tired Anaheim schoolman, says to get ahead you should keep your eye on the ball, your nose to the grindstone, your shoulder to the wheel and your finger on the pulse of the public. And put your best foot forward, I suppose. Now take that pose and see how much work you can get done. Dick Gay's No. 1 Bank of America here in Anaheim is now boasting walk up and drive in windows. Now, all we need is a load up and drive out door, and we'll try that one. Do you remember reading about how the pioneer settlers, and the Pilgrims had to go out hunting for their food? That was simple compared to the maze of shelves, counters and aisles the modern man has to hunt in to find his food. New Bank of America Facilities To Open for Inspection and Use The opening of Bank of America's new drive-in and walk-up banking facilities at its downtown Anaheim branch was set for Tuesday, February 3, by Richard W. Gay, vice president and manager. Gay said that the bank would mark the event with an opening ceremony in which city officials and civic leaders will take part. Refreshments of coffee, cookies and punch will be served to visitors who use or come to see the new accommodations. There will be candy gold coins for children. The facilities will be open during the same hours as the rest of the bank, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday. Mayor Gets A Preview Gay gave Mayor A. J. Schutte, and other city officials and civic leaders a preview look at the enlarged quarters last Monday. They are approached from Clautour of the two story building which has been under construction for several months and which now is virtually completed. The building adjoins the Anaheim branch on the south. It faces Claudina Street and is right next to the bank's parking lot. There are four walk-up windows fronting the street. Customers can walk up to them and do their banking in a matter of seconds, without going inside the bank. Drive-In Facilities There are two drive-in windows on the south side of the building. They are appraached from Claudina Street. Customers can use them without getting out of their cars. Gay said that both types of windows should be a big time saver for the bank's customers. He predicted a large increase in business. The upper floor of the new building has been converted into new quarters for the bank's battery of posting machines. The bank has grown tremendously since it was opened in 1952. The current expansion, which cost $165,000, is the branch's second since then. Gay said that in the last five years, the number of customers has increased by 75 per cent, the number of employees by 75 per cent, the loans by 166 per cent and deposits by 55 per cent. Do you remember reading about how the pioneer settlers, and the Pilgrims had to go out hunting for their food? That was simple compared to the maze of shelves, counters and aisles the modern man has to hunt in to find his food. There is no truth to this story but it is printed here so the Linotype operators of this newspaper may enjoy a real chuckle, just for once: An editor died after a lingering illness. His savings barely covered hospital and doctor bills, leaving nothing for the funeral expenses. A friend, after soliciting funds all day, lacked only $1 of having enough. Wearily, he said to a stranger, "Could you give me a dollar to bury an editor?" The stranger pulled out a $5 bill and said, "Here—bury five of them." Another nickle's worth from Clyde Nickle, local high school story teller: "Everything in the home these days is controlled by a switch except the children." Educators keep telling us that it is only three per cent of the young people who cause the delinquency problem. That may be right, but you've got to give that three per cent credit for working at it all the time and being successful. What they need is to have their direction changed. Which reminds me of the saying by Alison Fowler Short: "Life is like a gun. It can be aimed only one direction at a time." Have you noticed the improvement made at the Mission Furniture Store here on East Center? It now takes twice as long to walk along in front of Dick Metteer's place of business. They haven't doubled their business yet, but they've doubled their business frontage. Leo J. Friis, local attorney, went to Brea one day this week as speaker for the Brea Rotary No Men Allowed at Baseball Party to Teach the Ladies No men allowed! That will be the order of the day when the Secretaries of Sports and Bullock's present the Los Angeles Dodgers in the first Ladies Baseball Clinic in Los Angeles history for matinee and evening performances at Bullock's Downtown auditorium, Hill Street, 1:30 and 7:30 p.m., Monday, February 9.
