Colony Quips The discussion did not start with pink elephants but just about how money got into circulation in Anaheim. The talk got to going pretty fast and hot and then John Stranahan, public relations council for the Chamber of Commerce, stepped in with a word or two about "pink money" and everybody stopped to listen. So we asked John to put down a few words about "pink money" and not to include "pink ladies" or "pink elephants" and here they are: Of course "there ain't no such animal." It doesn't even make sense. On the other hand if we had it (pink money, that is), perhaps we could prove something. There are a lot of unconvinced people in the community when it comes to evaluating the importance of industry and pay rolls. Industries that came to Anaheim as result of promotion by the Chamber of Commerce employ more than a thousand people. The collective payroll exceeds three million dollars. This money circulated and recirculated through our community supports a lot of jobs in stores and other lines of business. Since the money spent by the employees of these plants is the same color as any other money, there is no way of estimating the volume of its circulation. That's why I wish we could get an issue of Pink Money for a month or so to meet these payrolls. It would be impressive, informative and even dramatic to be able to add up the total of money exchanges involving this pink cash. It's out of the question, of course. But think it over.

These payrolls contribute to the life blood of our economy in Anaheim. Here's another idea... If we can't get pink cash, wonder if we could get KwiKset and a couple of other plants to pay off in two dollar bills some pay day. Even that would give us an idea. County Fair Slogan Contest Ends May 1 As hundreds of entries poured into Orange County Fair headquarters in the contest to select a slogan for the 1950 version of the fair August 16-20, George Tobias, publicity chairman, today urged speed in entering competition for the prize of $25 which will be given the winner. "We are pleased with the response thus far," Tobias said, "as it shows a genuine interest in our home-county fair. However, entrants should remember that if there are duplicate suggestions for slogans, the one bearing the earliest postmark will win. Therefore speed is necessary." The fair board's publicity chairman added that some persons have overlooked previous advice as to the length of the slogan. "It should not be longer than four words and yet must bring together the fair's nautical theme and Orange County and its diversified agricultural products," he said. Entries should be addressed on a postcard to the Orange County Fair, 20391 Newport Blvd., Santa Ana. Deadline for entries is midnight, May 1. No committee members or their families, nor members of the fair board, officers or employees of the fair or their families will be allowed to compete, Tobias added.

An addition to the plant is now being built onto the east end of the structure so that when complete, it will have more capacity than the Anaheim house that was burned." Cautiously Belmont says Granada will enter the frozen concentrate field cautiously and probably won't do any building this year because "of the time element and problems in the frozen concentrate deal for the near future appear to be very complex." The packing house executive expressed the opinion that the frozen concentrate deal may be due for a readjustment. Problems in this new and fast-growing marketing outlet are, according to Belmont; limited number of stores equipped to handle the product—only 26 percent; high cost of machinery and equipment; control of distribution by Florida interests.

ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD EST. 1870 AHEIM GAZETTE NTS ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1950 Unified School District Plan Aired at Open Meet Half of Districts Opposed to O Administration for All 14 Schoo Unification of the 14 Anaheim school districts in district would result in more and better education for each dollar spent than is now received under the present according to John C. Winney, superintendent of the bello Unified School District. Winney addressed a public meeting held Monday at the high school which was sponsored by the county committee studying unification of school districts. Views on unification expressed unofficially at the meeting indicated that the districts are split on the question with half in favor and half opposed. Under a unified school district, administration would be by one superintendent and one board of trustees rather than by several offices and several boards. Winney was called at the request of the committee in order that a first-hand account of education under a unified system could be heard. Montebello formerly operated in much the same fashion as Anaheim now does and only so. Lions-Masons Hear Simmons At Luncheon Linton T.

Announce Civic Progress Week Program; Events Anaheim's fourth annual Civic Progress Week, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce with city and civic organizations participating, will be held May 8-12. Clyde Nichols is general chairman of the big civic event. Highlight of the week will be Community Planning Day to be held on Thursday, May 11 when the Planning Congress of Southern California, the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange County and the local chamber will hold a joint-dinner meeting. The Anaheim Planning Commission will be host of the day in which four panels will be conducted. Planning engineers representing the state, county and cities throughout the Southland cited that the districts are split on the question with half in favor and half opposed. Under a unified school district, administration would be by one superintendent and one board of trustees rather than by several offices and several boards. Winney was called at the request of the committee in order that a first-hand account of education under a unified system could be heard. Montebello formerly operated in much the same fashion as Anaheim now does and only recently changed to the unified setup. The speaker was accompanied to the meeting by County Superintendent of Schools Linton T. Simmons and by Dr. Richard Hughes, a member of the board of trustees of the Montebello school district. Under one administration, Winney said, the needs of the individual student were better filled because of closer supervision of curriculum and better opportunity to orientate pupils for the advanced grades. Also he said that because of this centralized organization, the district was able to take advantage of the experience and ideas of the faculties of all of the schools. He explained it as a kind of pooling of resources. Another feature pointed out by the Montebello superintendent was the controlled flow of students from school to school. Such a plan if adopted here would call for two junior high schools—one in the western part of the district and the other in Anaheim. Thus the elementary schools would handle the kindergarten through 6th grade; the junior high, 7th to 9th and the high school the remaining three years. There would be one superintendent assisted by supervisors in charge of the respective divisions of the system. Districts objecting stated they were not leaving the meeting as completely opposed but wanted to have further study of the plan. They remarked that they couldn't see why the districts couldn’t have junior high schools or even another high school in the western part of the district without unifying. It was evident that the opposing districts were reluctant to turning over the administration of their schools to one office and expressed the opinion that a unified board could not offer the same program as the several boards. Schools in Anaheim high school district in addition to the six elementary schools in the city Linton T. Simmons, county superintendent will address a joint-meeting of the Anaheim Lions and the Masonic lodge noon at the Elks Club.
