Our Anaheim, An Expanding Modern City Anaheim, the oldest city in Orange county and one of the most progressive, was colonized in 1857 by a party of Germans from San Francisco under the leadership of George Hansen. From a small colony boasting a Chinese laundry, stables and tavern, hotel, general store and a few homes, it has grown to be a thriving sixth class city in cooperating modern conveniences and carrying out a master plan for expansion. This plan was outlined recently by Oscar Gabbert of Earl J. Smith Associates, who, working with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, launched the 1948 membership drive. Careful zoning of city areas to assure beautiful residential sections, expanding citrus and industrial plants, free off-street parking and improved recreational sites, are included in the over-all program. Administrated by a five-man council, the services rendered citizens of Anaheim are comparable with any large city. It includes distribution of water, power and light which contributes to the lowest tax rate in California. Beautification and civic cleanliness are stressed in smog-free Anaheim. Each year a clean-up, paint-up and fix-up week is featured with awards given to home and business owners showing the most progress. Child's Hearing Important to School, Health It would cost only a quarter per child to guard our children's hearing, and yet most of the 2,000,000 children who are hard of hearing are getting no help. In fact, many of them don't even know they suffer under such a handicap and that it might be the reason for poor grades and serious emotional problems. A majority of our hard of hearing adults can trace their condition to childhood diseases or running ears neglected in youth. Yet at least 50 percent of hearing disabilities can be cured if they are caught promptly and treated effectively in the child. Whereas statistics from the U.S. Public Health Service and the National Research Council say that almost 30 percent will acquire a marked loss within five years if neglected. What can mothers do? They can follow these simple precautions with their own children: 1. Treat colds promptly. 2. Teach children how to blow their noses gently. Violent nose-blowing shoots germ-laden mucus to the middle ear, the seat of ear infection. 3. Never put anything small in a child's ear. Use soap and water and a soft cloth to keep the outer ear clean. Never probe with a toothpick, a bobby pin or other sharp instrument. 4. Keep a sharp watch on the progress of the infectious diseases which are sometimes followed by hearing loss. Scarlet fever and measles are the most serious. 5. Have infected tonsils and is a quick device for scars out those who apparently some hearing loss. Forty children can be tested at once, each ped with earphones. The test not be used in kindergarten first grade. Nor does it accurately the degree of hair loss. It must be followed, for who are screened out as potentially defective, by an individual on a purefone auditometer, accurately plots both the area and quality of hearing loss. Statistics show that only 5 million of our more than million youngsters in school receive audiometer tests annually. State programs for conserve hearing are woefully deficient. Only three states meet the standards of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology by insisting on annual meter tests. A survey by Warren H. Ner, hearing and speech the professor at Western Reserve University, and chairman of the mitte eon Hard of Hearing Children of the American Hearing Society, reveals these facts: Although the number ofometers owned by school systems is growing, no audiometer tests is done in most states outside few large cities. Several states still content to test a single district each year. Many tests only one grade annuallyally the fifth. Even the best testing program however, is useless if it is followed by medical and educational action. In many cities states audiometers results tabulated and then filed away gather dust. The core of children with manently disabling hearing is conservatively estimated. Administrated by a five-man council, the services rendered citizens of Anaheim are comparable with any large city. It includes distribution of water, power and light which contributes to the lowest tax rate in California. Beautification and civic cleanliness are stressed in smog-free Anaheim. Each year a clean-up, paint-up and fix-up week is featured with awards given to home and business owners showing the most progress. Tourists and rural residents alike flock by the thousands here to attend the Annual Hallowe'en Festival and Annual Progress Week events, which, for the first time since the war, featured a huge exposition and fair. Starting with a nucleus of citrus packing companies, Anaheim has become the citrus processing center of the southland. Leading the way to industrial diversification and broad opportunities for employment, are the new General Electric plant, the Essex Wire Corp., the United States Industrial Chemicals company, Gateway, Inc., and a host of smaller plants. Anaheim's agriculture is in the heart of the richest county per cultivated acre in the United States. It is the largest Valencia exporting and citrus by-product center in the world. Approximately one and one-half million dollars worth of citrus juices, concentrates, marmalade, pectin, oils and mears are processed annually to employ hundreds of people. More and more avocado trees are being planted in this area, to meet growing demand for the semi-tropical fruit. Education and culture are stressed in Anaheim. In addition to public school plant are St. Catherine's Military school for boys, the Zion Lutheran elementary school and Marywood Catholic high school for girls. There are excellent private schools in fine arts and annually county citizens witness the Richards-Martin dance pageant.

Scarlet fever and measles are the most serious. 5. Have infected tonsils and adenoids removed promptly on a physician's suggestion. 6. Pay prompt attention to running ears and complaints of earache. 7. Teach them to fight fair. A sharp box on the ear may produce serious permanent damage. What can schools do? The best protection is an adequate school hearing conservation program, with annual audiometer tests, followed by medical care, lip reading and hearing aids for those who need them. The American Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, the medical organization of eye and ear specialists, has approved two audiometers for use in schools. The group audiometer Because a third of today's air travelers are children, Western Air Lines has opened a baby lounge at Los Angeles Airport which is designed to all except nursery-age travelers and the adults who accompany them. Above, Stewardess Martha Fenwick helps 2-year-old Milk Eccles, Susan Neel, 2, and 3-year-old twins Billy and Dickie Eccles catch up on their Mother Goose. The lounge is outfitted with crib bathinets, bassinets, disposable diapers, bottle warmers and other equipment to make baby's wait between planes more pleasant.

Many citrus growers are interested in non-cultivation as a possibility for their orchards. This study was conducted to help growers now using this system to appraise more carefully their own costs and operations, and growers considering adopting the system to estimate their probable costs. The data were collected by the survey method. A wide range in methods used was disclosed. Some growers did a part or all man labor. Others hired or contracted the work done. All types of equipment were used, commercial tractor powered boom spray rigs with hose attachments, home-made rigs, with horse or truck supplying the motive power, and hand or knapsack sprayers. Hand hoeing was always an integral part in the system of controlling the weeds and after the third or fourth year became the major or total factor. All these items had a direct effect on the costs. Other important factors costs were laying up the furrows, time of year started, kind of weeds growth of weeds at timing, prevention of maweed seed, regulation of oil applied, pressure, kind of spray nozzles, tention to all of these dound to be necessary, pthe first two or three reduce costs and make t "Safeway guarantees every food at the in this neighborhood" This is SAFEWAY'S guarantee!

Some growers where costs were still high after the third year, it was found that management practices in the past had been careless. It appears from this survey, based on 1947 wage rates and prices for material, that the average costs for the first and second year would be about $40 per acre, the third year about $20, and after that costs would be reduced to $8 or $10. One of the main characteristics of this study is the wide range in costs so that averages do REAL LIFE DRAMA—(top picture) Pacific Electric's Lost & Found Clerk, Mrs. Deane H.
