VICTORY SMILE — Successfully completing the first riding test in yesterday's Bicycle Safety Program riding test, conducted by the Anaheim police department at the Roosevelt School, seems to have made 8-year-old Rebecca Sparling very happy. Rebecca, a third grader, is being congratulated by Captain James Hutton (left) and Virgil Isbell, first vice president of the Anaheim Breakfast Optimist Club. More tests are to follow, and it is expected that the 25 schools involved will be tested by the end of May. WRITTEN TESTS COMPLETED First Bike Riding Safety Test Residents Fight Punil Transfer WRITTEN TESTS COMPLETED First Bike Riding Safety Test Conducted Yesterday at Roosevelt The first riding test for Anaheim’s Bicycle Safety Program was conducted by the Anaheim Police Department at the Roosevelt school yesterday, according to word received this morning from Mark A. Stephenson, chief of Police. “The riding test was conducted by our traffic division under the direction of Lt. Al Rogers,” said Chief Stephenson, “and this first test gave us an opportunity to train members of our department in the administration of the test.” Chief Stephenson pointed out that there have been a number of questions asked of his department by anxious parents who have children participating in the program regarding the test and the bicycle inspection preceding the test. “The first requirement, to take the riding test, of course, is the passing of the written test. To participate, a rider must return the application given to him by his teacher which is signed by the parent giving permission to participate.” “The application should be handed to the officer in charge of the test at the time the child comes to take the test. If the child owns a bicycle, “continued Chief Stephenson, “he must bring it with him so that it can be inspected before he rides the course.” “Most of the questions have been about the need of lights and sounding devices on the bicycles; and I shall emphasize now that there is no need of either on a bicycle in order to have it pass inspection. But a bicycle ridden at night must be properly equipped with lights just the same as an automobile or any other vehicle.” Lt. Al Rogers reports that he is in the process of contacting the principals of the schools involved to set up the testing schedule. It is his hope that they may complete the testing of the 25 schools before the end of May. Illness Forces Magnolia Candidate to Quit Race Serious illness has forced Edward R. Trotter, 8852 S.

Moolick will begin his new employment Saturday as a postal clerk. Residents Fight Pupil Transfer To Placentia Following a letter from Superintendent Clifford Riddlebarger of the Placentia School District to Jerome K. Edwards, Superintendent of the Yorba Linda School District canceling all interdistrict transfers between the two districts, Yorba Linda residents who are petitioning for transfer to the Yorba Linda School District, held an organizational meeting. Because of the cancellation notice, some 33 Yorba Linda children whose homes lie within the outskirts of the Placentia School District and who are now attending the Yorba Linda School, may have to attend Placentia Schools next fall. Petitions directed to Linton Simmons, Superintendent of Orange County Schools requesting a change of district, are now in circulation and will soon be presented to the superintendent’s office. The Board of Supervisors has final judgment on the issue. Reasons stated on the petition for transfer of districts are; to permit children involved to attend a school within a reasonable distance from their homes and to avoid the necessity of expensive long-distance transportation to schools by the Placentia District; to establish school facilities in Yorba Linda for Yorba Linda residents in order that they might not be forced to divide their normal interest and support between two municipalities. LOCAL MAN ATTENDS COURSE Donald E. Fitzgerald, 226 Emerald Street, Anaheim, Calif., is one of 60 teachers from 20 states who will attend Clark University’s 1959 Summer Institute for mathematics.

NEW FACILITIES — Officials of Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars have revealed their plans for the new mortuary structure at La Palma and Kaulclid. The firm's operations will be moved into the new, modern structure as soon as construction is completed and the present building on N. Lemon St. will be vacated. BTK To Build New Mortuary Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars, Orange County's first funeral directors, today announced plans to expand their facilities by building a new, modern mortuary-chapel near the corner of La Palma and Kaulclid. Construction is expected to begin late this summer, with making the announcement, the Troutman, spokesman for the older-old firm, explained that the location was selected as the result of lengthy and careful studies of population growth and the general expansion in the Anaheim area. The new location is designed to provide the finest and most convenient facilities in Orange County. Troutman said, "Our larger additional facilities will enable them lessen the strain of bereave-ment. Also, travel and parking in the congested downtown areas will be eliminated." The new structure will occupy more than 10,000 square feet of floor space and have a spacious parking area adjacent to the building. The chapel and offices are cone-shaped, with graceful sloping roofs that reach to the ground. The chapel will have exposed beam ceilings and be equipped with comfortable, natural wood pews. The view from the chapel windows is enhanced by beautiful plantings that extend the full length of the building. A music room, with all modern facilities, is near the family room, which is reached by a separate entrance, enabling the family to come and go in complete privacy. Modern decor, with extensive glass panels and window shutters, will be featured in the offices. The edifice also includes apartment facilities for the resident manager and morticians. The firm of Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars was originally founded by Ferdinand Backs in 1871, a decade before Anaheim was officially incorporated. The population at that time was only 883. The city of Anaheim, and Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars have grown steadily together all through those years and it is the firm's aim to continue serving the community with the same devoted and faithful attention in the years to come.

Volunteers to Aid Safe Vehicle Check Anaheim motorists may, in a matter of moments, be assured that the vehicles they are driving are safe or unsafe, when they enter a checking lane in any one of six locations throughout the city, on May 25 through 29. Feeling a definite need to curtail the rising auto accidents accompanying the growth of Anaheim, and in the interests of highway safety, the Chamber of Commerce Highway and Safety committee, headed by Harry Barnes, took on the challenge and its members have devoted many hours toward planning for the forthcoming safety-check under the leadership of cochairmen: Arvid Moe and Bill Pearson. "All it costs," said Pearson who is in charge of the financial end of the Anaheim Vehicle SafetyCheck, "is a few moments time. At the expense of a little time, a person can learn whether the vehicle he drives is safe or unsafe." "We would like every driver in town to have this assurance," said Moe, who is in charge of the check lanes and their operation. "The process is really simple and requires very little time with no obligation to the person who drives into one of the lanes." "Upon entering a checking lane," he explained, "the driver proceeds to the checkers. We'll have six of these at each lane at all times, one of whom will be a mechanic. Each volunteer will check one or more of 10 items for safety. The mechanical is used for the steering and brakes. One checker will check the front headlights, parking lights, direction signals, and high and low beam. Another will check tires for smooth rubber or fabric showing recently, Bob dropped a dime into a popcorn machine at Murray Manor, and was greeted by $14 in dimes instead of popcorn. The trio brought the money to Wardell who phoned Murray at Murray Manor. Murray went to Brookhurst Junior High, and quickly added $11 to the $14 for a total of $25 for the uniform fund. Other items that will be checked include: rear lights, license plate, fender, stop, directional signal, and backup, horn, windshield wipers, exhaust system, glass, and rear view mirror. "This sounds like more than a few moments," said Moe, "but it is amazing how little time it takes for a well-coordinated team of people working together to do the job." Teams are being schooled in the responsibilities of checking by Dr. Richard Kaywood, driver education head of the Anaheim high school. "The time of day at which the lanes will be in operation will be given out in the near future," said Moe. "At the same time, we shall release the locations for each of the six lanes. Anaheim motorists may rest assured that the locations will be convenient. They will be saved the necessity of driving out of their way to get this service." Title Three of the Defense Education Act of 1950 is announced by Roy E. State Superintendent of Instruction. Given include: 92 elements receiving $241,000; schools at $402,800, and 34 colleges getting $180,200. MRS. MAE FOX candidate FRED C.
