City Park Plunge, Cool Retreat, Highly Popular With Citizens Gay shouts and splashing water, audible for more than a block away, proclaims Anaheim City park's plunge which is centered by the picturesque playground, expanse of lawn and artistic pools, as one of the most popular spots on a hot summer day. Tanned youngsters, their parents and oldsters mingle in the well kept pool which, according to John Wallin, plunge manager, accommodated a total of 12,393 persons during July with 1209 on July 4th. Last Sunday 735 Anaheim residents and vacationers from out-of-town enjoyed the public aquatic facilities. Pleasure of swimming as a sport was revealed in the last month's report of those registered for beginners swimming classes by Red Cross Instructor Alia Mae Bearden, who recently attended the official aquatic school on Santa Catalina Island. She had a total of 1906 persons enrolled in her Tuesday through Saturday morning classes. POOL IMMACULATE Stressing rigid sanitation to insure the public health and safety, chlorine content and acid percentage checks are made at least three times a day from samples of pool water. Ortho Talidine is added to a sample to check the amount of chlorine which usually remains at three-tenths part to a million parts of water, nearly as pure as drinking water. Plunge water turns acid from alkali, Wallin disclosed. Alum is added in the elaborate purification system in the basement of the plunge headquarters as is soda-ash just before the water is pumped back into the pool. Alum helps coagulate sediment and foreign matter and the ash has an alkalizing effect. Checks against over-acidity GUARDS ON DUTY In addition to Manager Wallin, three full-time guards and an attendant are employed to safeguard the swimmers. Five rescues were recorded during July. Guards include Bill Kellogg and Tom O'Brien, Anaheim high school alumni; Gilbert Luna, World War II veteran; Donald Ames, who will be a senior in high school next year, and attendant Bob Whipple, student. PLUNGE SCHEDULE For the convenience of swimming and wading enthusiasts, the pool is open from 1:30 to 9 o'clock Monday through Friday; from 1:30 to 7 o'clock Saturday afternoon and evening and from 1 o'clock until 6 o'clock on Sunday. Weekday rates are 50 cents for adults, 30 cents for children 12 to 18 years of age and 20 cents for youngsters under 12 and for service men in uniform. Holiday rates are 80 cents for adults, 50 cents for 12 to 18 year olds and 20 cents for small youngsters and uniformed service men. BEGINNERS' CLASSES Alia Bearden instructs morning classes beginning at 9 o'clock Tuesday through Saturday. The ten year old youngsters and older students' class is from 9 to 9:30 o'clock, the nine and 10 year olds' class from 9:35 to 10:05; the 10:10 remains at three-tenths part to a million parts of water, nearly as pure as drinking water. Plunge water turns acid from alkali, Wallin disclosed. Alum is added in the elaborate purification system in the basement of the plunge headquarters as is soda-ash just before the water is pumped back into the pool. Alum helps coagulate sediment and foreign matter and the ash has an alkalizing effect. Checks against over-acidity are made with the addition of Phenol red. Plunge water usually checks at 7.2 to 7.6, nearly neutral. LOTS OF WATER The pool, which is 50 feet by 150 feet and has a gradual water-level slope from two feet to nine feet, holds approximately 276,000 gallons of water. To raise the water level one inch requires 4000 gallons of water. PURIFICATION SYSTEM The plunge water is going through a continual cleansing process. From the pool, it is drained and pumped into a lint catcher which removes all foreign matter. The soda-ash and alum is added. Under high pressure, the water is forced up into two filter beds which contain a top layer of sand and three grades of gravel from fine to course. Then in a big main pipe it is recharged with chlorine and then pumped into smaller pipes around the edge of the pool. Twenty-five pounds of the disinfectant are used every 24 hours to destroy bacteria and organic matter. FAMED PIANIST TO PLAY August 17 IN LAGUNA BEACH Pianist Artur Rubinstein will appear as soloist with the Los Angeles Summer Philharmonic orchestra under the baton of John Barnett, brilliant young conductor, in Irvine Bowl, Laguna Beach, August 17, at 8:30 p.m. The program, which is hoped by music lovers to be the forerunner of annual music festivals in the acoustically perfect outdoor amphitheater, will mark the dedication of the bowl. The world-famous pianist, Rubinstein, will interpret the celebrated Tschaikowsky "Piano Concerto No. 1." Other compositions to be directed by Conductor Barnett, include the "Prelude to Die Meistersinger" by Wagner, Enesco's CELEBRATE FORTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Marking their fortieth wedding anniversary Monday, were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vernon of El Cajon avenue, Yorba Linda.

NEW MEMBER Welcoming a baby son were Mr. and Mrs. David Baldonado of 124-B, West Santa Ana street, Anaheim. He arrived Tuesday in the Orange County hospital.

"The Nuernberg live eggs" were the first pocket watches ever made. Major problem facing the United States today is the housing shortage in the opinion of Democratic Representative John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts, above, who is quoted in the July issue of Cosmopolitan magazine as saying: "We are confronted with many exacting problems, but the most important, from a long-range view, is the great housing shortage existing in this country. Congress must act to provide housing for a great percentage of our veterans and to institute a broad program of public housing that will aid low-income groups who, before the war, lived in houses that were mostly substandard. The simple fact is that the building industry cannot build homes for prices that veterans and others in the law-income brackets can pay; therefore federal, state and local governments are under great obligation to render aid."
