Open Letter Outlines Some Actions Of Anaheim C. of C. Membership Drive Showing Results As Teamwork Goes On; Additions From All Business Classes Shown On Roster In response to queries as to the workings of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce; what it means to community promotion and other points of vital interest; Robert H. Boney, president of the organization, offers the following letter to the business establishments and all residents of this city. Ladies and Gentlemen: We have embarked on a membership drive to increase the members of the Chamber of Commerce. In this work we are frequently asked, "What is The Chamber of Commerce." In brief, your Chamber of Commerce is composed of people like yourselves who, realizing that their interests are best served by organization, have banded themselves together in a non-profit plan to protect the civic, industrial, and financial interests of their entire community. Wealth and prosperity as we know it, is, in most instances, a result of long distance planning. Your Chamber of Commerce is dedicated to a program of such planning. Where a man or a business is in need, the Chamber of Commerce does its best to help and is often able to add the difference that means safety. There are always two types of people in every community. One of these, seeing a need, gives of his time, energy and finances—and is an active force in the progress and prosperity of his city. The other type, seeing such activity but not recognizing the need, doubles the load of the worker and contributor by riding along New Schedule of County Hospital Visiting Hours Limit Placed on Number Of Visitors Allowed At Patient's Bedside Beginning Monday, September 1, new rules governing visiting hours at Orange county general hospital will go into effect, with the various departments having stipulated days and hours when patients may receive callers. A new ruling covering children under 16 years of age will also be enforced; none under that age being allowed to visit unless special permission has been granted and then only when a very close relative is critically ill. Close relatives will be allowed out-of-hours visits by special permission from the hospital office. It is requested that no more than two persons at any one time be at a patient’s bedside, and then only at the hours designated; which are as follows: General Hospital: 1 to 2 p.m. There are always two types of people in every community. One of these, seeing a need, gives of his time, energy and finances—and is an active force in the progress and prosperity of his city. The other type, seeing such activity but not recognizing the need, doubles the load of the worker and contributor by riding along on his shoulders. This group is not to blame for their lethargy—for there must always be the teacher and the untaught. Our job is to teach—their’s to be educated. If they will listen, we can explain—if they do all the talking and knocking, they haven’t time to learn.

Talbot, Jr., has been appointed district traffic manager for Western Air Lines in Long Beach and the harbor area, according to Arthur F. Kelly, divisional manager for the airline. Kelly pointed out that heavy traffic to and from the area resulted in the selection of a veteran airline executive to direct company activities there. The new manager who will make his headquarters at Daugherty Field leaves Northwest Airlines in Portland, where he was traffic manager for the past five years, to assume this post. Prior to his position with Northwest, Talbot worked for Eastern Air Lines in New York City after serving as a pilot for an English airline in 1933. As manager for Western Air, he will have charge of Long Beach, Wilmington, San Pedro and other coast cities as well as neighboring Orange County. Anaheim Resident District Governor Arval Morris, of Anaheim, has just been appointed by President Rufus B. von KleinSmid of the University of Southern California Budget Reduced; No Tax Increase Board To Hold Special Session Tomorrow Night To Establish Tax Rate County board of supervisors at its meeting held Tuesday, covered financial matters of the county to a great extent. Contrary to general expectation there was no increase in tax rates, although the budget estimate was an all-time high. With a budget estimate of $4,006,369 to deal with, the board first considered taxation rates, which would call for a 10-cent raise in both inside and outside ratings of last year. Through lopping off a few thousands here and there, a reduction of $190,511 was effected in the estimate; restoring the old figures of 88 cents to inside cities, and 91 cents in the rural area. Under the revised budget the county general expenses will come to $3,908,943, a high record figure, although $97,426 less than proposed. The chief saving was effected by lopping $69,146 off the welfare department's record-high budget request of $2,329,000. The board also trimmed $6,265 off the salary entitled, none under that age being allowed to visit unless special permission has been granted and then only when a very close relative is critically ill. Close relatives will be allowed out-of-hours visits by special permission from the hospital office. It is requested that no more than two persons at any one time be at a patient’s bedside, and then only at the hours designated; which are as follows: General Hospital: 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays, 7 to 8 every evening. Communicable Diseases Hospital: 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays. Children’s Department: 1 to 2 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays; Parents, grandparents and guardians only. Psychatic Department: 1 to 2 p.m. every day. Tuberculosis Sanatorium: 3 to 4 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays, 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesdays. First Sunday in every month, children under 16 years may be brought to the outside of windows or screened porches to visit very close relatives. City Taxes Will Remain The Same No Increase Over Last Fiscal Year's Rating; Annual Report Accepted Cheering news for Anaheim taxpayers. There will be no increase in 1941-42 taxes, as compared to the last fiscal year. The old 70-cent rate will prevail. This was decided on at the city council meeting Tuesday night with an ordinance covering the action being introduced for reading with passage of the measure being set for next meeting night. It had been expected that slight raise in the rate would be necessary on account of a $20,000 item in the budget, contracted for by Anaheim's share in the cost construction on a new treating plant and other improvements on the outfall sewer. The saving accounted for in revised estimates on several expenditures. Tax levies this year will amount to $44,600.89, for bond and interest payments. Library fund will require an additional $15,440; general fund about $13,000. The distribution of the tax dollar for the coming year will be about the same as that of last year. City Clerk Charles Griffith, rendering his annual report, gave a balance of $159,674.72 in funds at the close of the fiscal year. The report was accepted.
