The Bulletin ORANGE COUNTY NEWS SECTION B Tuesday, April 28, 1959 Senator Murdy Expresses Approval Senator Murdy Expresses Approval Of Governor’s Stand on Water Issue Senator John A. Murdy (Rep.), Orange County, yesterday expressed hearty approval of statements made by Governor Edmund G. Brown before the Commonwealth Club of San Francisco in support of California’s stand as to a Constitutional Amendment on water. Senator Murdy, who is Chairman of the Southern California Delegation of Legislators at Sacramento, said it was very heartening to know that the Governor recognized the reasonableness of the South’s position. Murdy quoted passages from a press release of Brown’s speech as follows: “I do want you to know that the South has now agreed to a relatively simple amendment that marks a great and conciliatory change in their earlier position. “The South now asks only that such an amendment require a two-thirds vote of the Legislature to change a water contract of the kind that the State will enter into in order to deliver water to points in Southern California and elsewhere. “In my firm opinion, this amendment would in no way interfere with any of the North’s basic water rights or interests. I am fully convinced that the North could accept this amendment without difficulty, without jeopardizing its water rights in any way.” Senator Murdy said that Southern Californians should be greatly encouraged by the governor’s statements and added: “We hope Governor Brown will succeed in his efforts to swing enough Northern Senators to his appraisal of the South’s position so that we may secure a constitutional Amendment fair to all and get our much needed water program through this session of the Legislature.” GG Boy Doing Well After Bike-Car Crash GARDEN GROVE — A Garden Grove boy is recovering today from injuries received when he was struck by an auto yesterday afternoon.

HONORED STUDENTS — These two charming misses have just been informed of their status in the graduating class of Fremont Junior High School, and are still somewhat speechless. Principal O. G. "Tommy" Thomason of Fremont Junior High has just told Pat Bryce (left) she was selected Salutatorian and Sherri Lee Gregg (center) she was chosen Valedictorian of the graduating class of '58.

Olsson, 719 N. Janss, for Salutatorian h Buena Park PTA Men Petitions Against Lib Hanna Introduces Action to Dissolve District, Wants City Controlled Unit BUENA PARK — In the wake of a bill soon to go before the State legislature which would eliminate the Buena Park Library District, PTA members of two elementary school districts are now circulating petitions against the endorsement of the bill. Assemblyman Richard Hanna of the 75th District proposes legislation which would dissolve the present Buena Park Library District in lieu of a city controlled district. The issue has come about because of the double taxation areas, one in west Anaheim, the other in west Fullerton, in which citizens are paying taxes not only to the Buena Park Library District, but to their respective cities as well. An ad valorum tax of 54 cents is levied against property in the two regions. This results in an increase to $1.99 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation for the residents of Buena Park. The present rate of $1.10 for the city of Anaheim is increased to $1.64 in the area only recently annexed to the city. This area is the so-called Dale St. Annexation. Members of the Buena Park Library District Board have expressed their opinion as to the feasibility of being dissolved as "unrealistic." With the decrease of funds which dissolve the Buena Park Library District. Mayor Dennis Murphy said that he felt sure that if the PTA members could see the other side of the story they wouldn't feel as they do. Mayor Murphy, speaking in his office yesterday said, "I feel very strongly about having an adequate library system for the residents of Buena Park. I do not think, however, that the feeling of the library board is substantiated when they express the opinion that a curtailment of service to the schools would be the outcome of a dissolution of the present library district." In other circles the belief that some curtailment of service would have to be the outcome even if only for a short period of time. The building fund was tapped recently for the additional purchase of a bookmobile. Now the building funds which were originally set aside for expansion of facilities, Advisory Board Plans Meeting The first meeting this year of the citizens' advisory committee of the Anaheim United Fund is to be held Thursday, April 31, at 7 p.m., at the Anaheim Bowl, near the corner of Lincoln and Brookstreet. Official reports of the 1958 United Fund Campaign will be heard at this meeting and it is hoped that the group will develop ways and means of securing top leaders for the upcoming campaign. At last years initial meeting of the committee a total of 65 persons attended out of 70 members. The success of the campaign could easily depend on the enthusiasm generated at this meeting, Adolf Schope, chairman of the citizens advisory committee declared. Joe R. Thompson is president of the United Fund this year. Others attending the executive committee meeting to develop plans for the citizens advisory committee meeting Thursday night were: Martha Chumacher; Walt Taylor; Clyde Gromer; the Rev. Earl Kernahan; Mrs. Emma Lawrence, secretary for the United Fund and Don Bankin, fund director. BP Apartment Looted Of Household Items BUENA PARK — A burglary was reported to police Sunday afternoon by a man who is in the process of moving into a new residence. While hauling a load of household items from his old residence, someone entered the new apartment and took $52 worth of appliances, police reported. Richard Anderson, 26, 6111 Kingman Ave., Apt. "C" told officers he returned to his new residence and discovered someone had taken an electric clock, a portable radio, an electric coffee pot and a linen tablecloth, reports said.

The present rate of $1.10 for the city of Anaheim is increased to $1.64 in the area only recently annexed to the city. This area is the so-called Dale St. Annexation. Members of the Buena Park Library District Board have expressed their opinion as to the feasibility of being dissolved as "unrealistic." With the decrease of funds which are afforded the library district now, it seems likely that reduction in services would curtail or completely eliminate the facilities offered and now used by the elementary schools in both the Buena Park Elementary School District and the Centralia School District, a board member said. It is for this reason that the Executive Board of the PTA council has begun circulating petitions to request a non-endorsement of the proposed Hanna Bill which would Fullerton School Board Selects Superintendent The Board of Trustees of the Fullerton Union High School and Junior College Districts will offer a contract to Dr. Ernest G.

Pyle School. In a press release, Mrs. Lewis lashed out at the recallists. "As this article is read," she said, "a notice of intention to circulate a petition to disincorporate is in the City Hall. This must be an admission by the recallists that they have failed, or think they have failed to put their candidates across. She concluded with "I should like to urge every citizen to refuse to sign the petition to disincorporate, for destruction is not the answer to anything." The councilwoman recommended that the city attorney make a study to see if it is proper for the city to spend funds to inform the POST HAPPY FELLA — Rex Coons seems to be indeed as he receives congratulations from Lion's Club President Herb Perry winning the presidency for the coming year.

(Bulletin Photo) Anaheim YMCA to Join Big Expansion Program The YMCAs of the world have launched their largest expansion effort in the organization's history. Called "Buildings for Brotherhood," their program plans more than 100 new building projects in 33 countries. Toward a global goal of $16,000,000 the YMCAs of North America are taken a minimum of $5,000,000 as their share. "We think Buildings for Brotherhood makes a powerful contribution to international friendship," William Fricker, Anaheim YMCA president stated. Government and UN agencies spread technical know-how and meet physical needs. But it is agencies like the "Y" that youth for leadership, educate for democracy, and develop ideals, teamwork and sportsmanship that bridge all frontiers of race, creed, nationality. Through carnivals, car washes, and other efforts "Y" boys and girls are taking part. The Anaheim YMCA Board has set Thursday a "Day of Dedication" for sharing in this project.

Bynon told councilmen his information varied—at least to a degree—from the published information. The invitation was unofficially declined by Patrick and his force.
