Lasker Lodge got off to a great start for 1954 with President Ralph Feldman conducting his first meeting of the year. Several important committee appointments were made, among them being: Marshall Zukor, membership; Milton Fredman, ADL; Jack Lowenbein, special assistant to the President; Louis Levitt, publicity; A.A. Friedman, vocational guidance; and Sid Posin, BBYO.
At the installation ceremony January 9, special awards for outstanding service were given to brothers Edward Breitbard, Jerry Aronoff, Joe Kaplan, Ralph Feldman, and Past President Harry Wax.
The lodge is growing by leaps and bounds, having added 74 new members in 1953, and what with the stimulating meetings in store for the members in 1954, and the exceptionally fine food preparations by “Chief” cq Aronoff each week, all the members can look forward to a great year for Lasker Lodge.

The Junior Charity League has announced final plans for their Valentine Card Party to assist the Polio Fund. The entire community is invited to attend this party at the Temple Center Feb. 4, 12 noon.
A turkey luncheon will be served, with fruit salad for those dieters who wish it. The home baked cake sale which proved so popular last year is being repeated. These are ideal for stocking one’s freezer and thus always being prepared for guests.

San Diego Telephone Prefixes, Numbers Change Sunday
Southwestern Jewish Press January 22, 1954 Page 7
Have you made a mental note that your own telephone number will change next Sunday?
If you’re one of 175,000 telephone subscribers in the San Diego extended area, your number is scheduled to be changed to seven digits and also give a new prefix on that day.
The number change program will move San Diego one step closer to nationwide operator toll dialing which is contemplated in the near future. Customer toll dialing will come about a little later on.
Harry Depert, Pacific Telephone district manager, pointed out that the first two letters of the prefix will be dialed after next Sunday, instead of only one.
He suggested three steps to good telephone service after the seven digit dialing pattern goes into effect:
- Look up all numbers in the new directory
- Before dialing, jot the number down. With the number before you, when you dial, you will save time and the embarrassment of wrong numbers.
- Listen; for the dial tone, then carefully dial the first two letters and the numeral in the prefix, followed by the remaining four figures in the number. Remember to give your new number to the operator when placing out-of-town calls.
