BEST DOG AND OWNER — Shep is a dignified year-old Collie who looks a bit bashful about having his picture taken even though he won two prizes at the dog show in La Palma Park Saturday. He won the best-groomed dog prize on the basis of judges' decision and the best-dog-of-the-show prize on the basis of audience applause. Owner Greg Ott, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Greg Ott of 410 Falcon St., displays his prize winning Collie. Greg is a Loara School student and states that his dog will be shown in the upcoming big Disneyland dog show. In the meantime, Shep will be eating his prize for dinner—a carton of Ken-L-Ration dog food—while his owner treasures the trophy.

The Bulletin ORANGE COUNTY NEWS SECTION B Monday, April 13, 1959 IBM MACHINES County Supervisors Receive Report For ‘Electronic Age’ Of Records By Orange County News Service The county's step into the electronic age was clearly defined and mapped out in a 110-page report presented the county Board of Supervisors by the firm of Booz, Allen, and Hamilton, management consultants. The detailed report, which spells out a complete conversion to modern methods of data processing, was commenced last October and came to a climax last week. The report will cost the county approximately $24,000 but is expected to save many more times this in time, effort, and efficiency. The majority of the program is expected to be put into operation within a two-year period, it was explained. Supervisors approved the report and as their first major step in the electronic age, passed a resolution designating County Auditor Vic Helm as auditor-controller, a position that will officially begin in July of this year, the beginning of the 1959-1960 fiscal year. As auditor-controller, Helm will implement and direct an integrated and standardized system of accounting and budgetary control in the county. The broader field auditing powers given an auditor-controller will facilitate the elimination of much of the duplicate checking now performed in the routine processing of documents in favor of broader over-all controls and test checks of routine auditing procedure performed outside the auditor's office. Also scheduled to be established of personnel, and new positions to be created. The report points out that the present is a peculiarly appropriate time for the county to take a comprehensive look at the current status of, and future plans for, the processing of the growing volume of paper work confronting it. The growth of the past 10 years has given clear evidence of a trend away from a basically rural area toward a heavily populated urban area, and that provides considerable experience in the changes that such trends produce in such routines as tax assessments and collection, welfare loads, and the over-all volume of accounting transactions in the county. The projected growth of the county, coupled with the rapid advances being made currently in the design and utilization of electronics computers and data processing equipment, makes it almost certain that the county will want to consider such equipment, it is suggested in the report. The use of IBM machines are also detailed in the lengthy report. Outlined are specific programs Police Log Saturday 12:45 a.m. Alejo Ramirez, 3 Norwalk, booked suspicion grant theft and locked up. 10:35 a.m. Robert C.

Also scheduled to be established in the future is the position of a systems analyst, who will develop and foster a program of sound mechanization of paper work processes through out the county. Outlined in the report is a program of action for the supervisors, including a timetable for various phases of the program, equipment that will be needed, the training over-all volume of accounting transactions in the county. The projected growth of the county, coupled with the rapid advances being made currently in the design and utilization of electronics computers and data processing equipment, makes it almost certain that the county will want to consider such equipment, it is suggested in the report. The use of IBM machines are also detailed in the lengthy report. Outlined are specific programs for the county's accounting system, payment of invoices, handling of taxes, warrants, records, and many other fields. The consolidation of many functions now performed separately by departments, uniform systems of procedure; plus the use of modern equipment and methods, are the major elements of the program. Costa Mesa Couple Gets Home Show Duplex Attendance at the 1950 Orange County Home Show, which closed last night at Orange County Fairgrounds, squeezed past the 100,000 mark to set a new all-time record for the show. Two Costa Mesa families took the spotlight during the closing hours of the show. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Sauter of 2589 Orange Ave. won the $20,000 "Chance-of-a-Lifetime" Gold Medallion duplex given away free at the show. And Mr. and Mrs. James L. Hayden of 234 Cabrillo St. were honored as "Mr. and Mrs. 100,000," as the show set a new attendance record in its final hour. Costa Mesa Savings and Loan Association had offered to finance the cost of lot purchase and moving charges for the winner of the all-electric home, thus setting him up as landlord of two rental units. The home was built under direction of Cliff C. Kent, chairman of the home show. George Colouris, home show producer, pronounced the 1950 edition "a complete success. We haven't found the top of this show yet," he said last night. Attendance and exhibitor participation in the gigantic show has grown each year it has been presented here. Homeowners Protest Provisions in New Zor Residents Feel Protection For Single Family Areas Inadequate in Proposal Homeowners in the Park Village tract today stated that the group feels the new zoning ordinance does not provide adequate protection to the individual home owner from the threat of encroachment of two-story multiple dwellings. Mrs. Mary Vliet, president of The Villagers, said that "This problem is an increasing one. In 1954 there were only 145 multiple family dwelling units in Anaheim and last year the number jumped to 1,813." "We acknowledge the need for apartment units due to the type of industry and location of Anaheim", said Mrs. Vliet. "However, we think the city and Realty Board has a responsibility to protect home owners, who frequently purchase homes only to find out later that surrounding areas are zoned for apartments. Tract salesmen are not apt to volunteer this information to enthusiastic buyer," she said. Mrs. Merdith Harden stated that many homeowners assume they are buying privacy for backyard and patio living as well as a home. Whenever this privacy is invaded by directly adjacent two-story multiple family or commercial development the desire to maintain a home diminishes with the psychological effect of having two to six foot masonry wall along the zone boundary between R1 and R3. Wall Needed Mrs. Vliet stated that her group also took the position that a developer of property zoned for multiple family use should assume the responsibility of erecting a five to six foot masonry wall along the zone boundary between R1 and R3. "Because a multiple family development is basically a commercial activity," she said "shielding adjacent homes should be the responsibility of such an owner as a cost of his business activity. A wall would serve as a view and noise screen. Single family owners frequently cooperate on the cost of a fence or wall dividing their Police Log Anaheim a.m. Alejo Ramirez, 39, k., booked suspicion grand and locked up. a.m. Robert C.

Tract salesmen are not apt to volunteer this information to enthusiastic buyer," she said. Mrs. Merdith Harden stated that many homeowners assume they are buying privacy for backyard and patio living as well as a home. Whenever this privacy is invaded by directly adjacent two-story multiple family or commercial development the desire to maintain a home diminishes with the psychological effect of having two to six upstairs families peering down on backyards and windows". At the recent Council work-session on the proposed new zoning ordinance the council recognized this problem and indicated that they will consider a 100 ft. rear yard height limitation setback and 60 foot, one lot, side yard height limitation set back where two-story multiple family dwellings abut single-family homes. "If incorporated into the new proposed zoning ordinance," Mrs. Vliet stated, "this set-back provision will afford minimum protection to homeowners. But in addition we feel the ordinance should also incorporate a similar 125 foot height limitation requirement to the front of single-family homes. We protest the zoning of R3 across a residential street from R1. However, existing homeowners caught in this situation should be protected," she said. Mrs. Vliet stated that the average residential street has 36 feet of paving plus 12 feet on either side for parkways and sidewalks. The abrupt transition from a small single-family to a bulky two-story across a 60 foot width does not allow an adequate transition in density, size, height or appearance. "Thirty-six feet of street paving," she said, "is too small to house the curb parking typical of apartment areas that have six or more times the vehicles and parking load than single family homes. A 125-foot setback from later that surrounding areas are zoned for apartments. Tract salesmen are not apt to volunteer this information to enthusiastic buyer," she said.

The Villagers also went on record in support of the recommendations made by the planning and zoning committee of the Sherwood Forest Civic Association. "We are happy," said Mrs. Vliet "to see that the Council, in their work session, indicated they might drop the provision from the proposed zoning ordinance which would allow many 1,000 square foot homes to be built. We too, would like to see the present lot and home size provisions maintained. At present many small homes are available due to unrestricted annexed areas and variances which have been allowed in hardship cases." "We further endorse the provisions requiring landscaping in commercial zones and feel that 'Freedom to create' suggested by the Anaheim Realty Board and existing in other cities such as Los Angeles has resulted the 'Freedom to do nothing,'" Mrs. Vliet stated. "We think Anaheim has a right to be different with 'Freedom from mediocrity.' When our orange groves are gone much of our abundant landscaping will disappear. We would like the quality and way of life which attracted us to Anaheim both maintained and improved upon in future years," she said. Recently she made a trip to the border town and "was appalled" at the conditions she saw. As a result, Mrs. Gallentine will undertake to start all over again with the new endeavor which will resemble her 13 year program in Ensenada. Late last year, Mrs. Gallentine received a letter from a city official in Mexicali, who said he had heard of her work in Ensenada. Would she be so kind as to come to Mexicali and see if she could help there, too? This was all she needed to start all over again. One of the projects Mrs. Gallentine initiated in Ensenada, was a repair shop for clothes. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY NEIGHBOR - TO NEIGHBOR CANCER CRUSADE START CIRCULATING — "American Cancer Society 'Neighbor to Neighbor' Cancer Crusade envelopes will be starting in each block in Anaheim today," stated Mrs. Floyd Boyer, Cancer Crusade chairman.
