VOLUME LXXIX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH ROPE REVIEW—Ranch Boss Paul Demaree cuts a mean figure with his trusty lasso for the benefit of ranch foremen Charles Ahlstrom, Walt Gooden, and Avon Carlson. The above bunch of rounders hits the trail tomorrow at the start of the 1950 YMCA Member-at-Large and Cash Roundup campaign which Y officials hope will result in $11,000 for the organization's 1950-51 operating budget. YMCA Rangers Inaugurate 1950 Cash Roundup with Breakfast It's twilight on the trail now, but come the dawn tomorrow, Anaheim YMCA rangers will be up and at their 1950 Member-at-Large and Cash Roundup with a resounding Yippee-Yi-O and Git Along Little Doggie that you'll be able to hear clear t'other side of the Great Divide. For it's roundup breakfast time tomorrow. At 6:31 a.m., 80 to 100 Y campaigners will gather in the downstairs dining room of the White Temple Methodist church for the inaugural roundup meal. There and then they will get last minute instructions on the drive which starts tomorrow from a host of bosses, foremen, big wheels and various other range dignitaries. Then, when the chuck wagon closes up, they'll saddle their cayuses and hit for the tall timber or wherever they expect to find the 1000 members-at-large, together with the $11,000, which have been set as their goals in the 1950 roundup. Members - at - large, as YMCA secretary Tommy Thomason puts it, are those generous people whose contributions make possible each year the furtherance of YMCA work in Anaheim. The 50-odd cowpokes and cowpokettes, assigned to corraling the members-at-large this year will have their six-shooters loaded with information and pertinent data as to just exactly what the affiliation with the YMCA does for the youth. Among other things, they will point up how Anaheim's 35 Y clubs saw to the friendship and character-building needs of some 636 boys and girls last year. They will point up the 124 volunteer leaders and advisors, as well as the 10 summer and winter camps, the fine youth. Toastmasters Elect Taylor Louis Taylor was chosen to lead the Toastmasters' club for the next six months when he was elected president at the organization's meeting last night at Jack Fisher park in Santa Ana. The other officers, chosen to serve until April 1, were Carl Miller, sergeant-at-arms; Ed Wright, secretary-treasurer; Page Vincent, educational chairman; C. O. Garshweiler, vice-president; and outgoing president Dr. Kenneth Heuler, deputy governor. At last night's meeting, which was also a steak barbecue, it was also decided to meet semi-weekly — instead of weekly — for the next three months. The final outdoor meeting of this year is set for September 25, with the club moving indoors after that. Last night's speakers included: Dr. Fred Rush—"Why finance this war on a pay-as-you-go basis?"; Garshweiler — "Are we going to arm the free nations of the world?"; Joseph Ersek—"Was President Truman right in vetoing the bill denying citizenship to persons connected with subversive organizations?"; Heuler — "Price control by presidential authority." Health Officer Concludes Series Of Sewer Talks Dr. Edward Lee Russell, Orange county health officer, will conclude this week a series of speeches he has given in various communities on behalf of the proposed Magnolia ave., trunk sewer. In speaking to civic organizations and other groups, Dr. Russell has pointed out that adequate facilities in sewage systems are vital to the health of the general population. Local health authorities, according to Dr. Russell, are particularly concerned about the present sewage system that is now dangerously overloaded to where it constitutes a definite health menace. He said unless some steps are taken to correct the situation, state health authorities may step in to cure the unsanitary conditions. He added the state has the power to demand sanitation reforms and can enforce measures to see that they are carried out. The health officer said installation of proper sewage facilities now will have a health effect on the future of the county. "No permanent advances in the general health program can rest on a substructure of poor sanitation," he said. "Unless steps are taken immediately to increase and improve our sewage disposal facilities, the public health will be in jeopardy." to corraling the members-at-large this year will have their six-shooters loaded with information and pertinent data as to just exactly what the affiliation with the YMCA does for the youth.

Citrus Growers Meet to Select Market Heads Southern California orange and lemon producers will meet Thursday evening, September 21, in Pomona and Redlands to choose nominees for appointment to committees to administer two federal marketing order programs for citrus. R. E. Beem, chairman of the Orange county Production and Marketing Administration committee, said nominations will be received for the appointment of two grower members and one handler member, and their alternates, for the Orange Administrative committee, and one grower member and alternate for the Lemon Administrative committee. The meetings will begin at 7:30 p.m., in the Civil Service Room of the Post Office Building in Pomona, and in the Chamber of Commerce Building, 347 Orange st., Redlands. Orange growers will meet first, and lemon producers immediately afterwards. Yesterday we discussed the good features of a "light industrial" economy for Anaheim. There are many factors in locating light industry in Anaheim which might be considered blessings to the city. If it is so good, you say, why then is there opposition to light industry? Well, to the credit of the city planners, they have followed the book so far in drawing up new zoning regulations. The public has been called in, so to speak, to express its views on the zoning plans. The main opposition to light industry, of course, lies in the area directly affected. And, the folks in the area have had their say. You will note on the map that the most desirable industrial area (shaded) lies between the railroad tracks projecting out of the city limits of Anaheim on the southeast. Industry follows the rails. Much of this area is groves. This, of course, is something of a break—if the groves can be purchased—in that it reduces the number of householders who are involved in the zoning. And, much of it is not even in the present city limits of Anaheim. In a very real sense the homebuilders in the area have encroached on the industrial site. The railroads poked their lines through the area. The railroads are an industry. Then came the citrus processing plants to service ORANGE CAPITOL OF THE WORLD NAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1950 Yanks Storm Vit Cyclist Shooter Accused of Manslaughter As result of the early-morning shooting September 1 of Arthur Joselle near his roadside market east of Orange, Reginald F.

Merrill stands accused today of felony manslaughter. Merrill, who told sheriff's officers that he surprised three young men in his place, and fired into the air with a .22 caliber automatic pistol to frighten them away, was up for arraignment yesterday in Santa Ana Township court. Justice Howard Cameron continued his arraignment until September 15 so his counsel, attorney Robert Corfman, can prepare the plea. Joselle, 22, of Santa Ana, was shot in the back and killed as he stood beside his motorcycle on Chapman ave., after Merrill had shot into the air to frighten away Joselle's three companions, who told officers at the time that they were looking for oranges. A coroner's jury, probing the tragedy, had failed to attach blame but rules that Joselle came to his death from a bullet fired by Merrill. It recommended further investigation, the district attorney then bringing the complaint. Marines Land In Anaheim An Anaheim office of the Marine Recruiting service opened this morning in the Anaheim Justice Court quarters at 257 E. Center st. (on the floor above the Anaheim Gazette). The office will be staffed by Master Sergeant Richard Black and Technical Sergeant John Lewis. Men 17 to 28 years of age will be enlisted for the regular Marines for three or four year enlistments. Men 17 to 32 years old will be enlisted in the Marine reserve while women reservists will be enlisted between the ages of 18 to 31. KNOW WHEN LONG BEACH (F)—Little Freddie Tanaka was unloading a big crate of turnips at the early morning market today. The end of the crate fell out, showering Freddie with turnips. Passersby clucked synthetically, but Tanaka only smiled: "Me lucky," he said, yesterday I was hauling eggs." Freedom Bell Symbolizing Crusade Against Communism Due Here Fri George Spielman, local chairman of the Crusade for Freedom, reminded Anaheimers today that California's Freedom Bell will visit Anaheim next Friday morning. The bell, symbol of the state's Crusade for Freedom, will be on display near the intersection of Center and Los Angeles sts., in downtown Anaheim, from about 9:30 until shortly after 10:00 in the morning. Appearance of the big bell in Anaheim is part of a drive to gain signatures of thousands of "freedom loving persons" on freedom scrolls. Mr. Spielman invites individuals interested in helping circulate the scrolls to contact him at the SQR store, telephone Anaheim 2138. He is interested in making the appearance of the bell in Anaheim a truly community affair and will welcome expressions of interest by local folks. “This is an offensive communism,” Mr. Spielman out. He said the crusade means of bringing home to Californian the need for action to arouse the nation a communism and its ideological practices. The big bell will be met city limits and escorted to town Anaheim where purpose the crusade will be explained Anaheimers will be urged to the scrolls. Signatures on the scrolls w permanently enshrined in the of the freedom bell in Berlinication ceremonies in the G city will take place on United tions Day, October 24. “This will be a living sym freedom and hope to the em peoples of the world,” c leaders point out. ANAHEIM’S 1950 Tide of Empire day we discussed the futures of a “light industry for Anaheim.” There are many factors in light industry in Anaheim might be considered blessing city. So good, you say, why there opposition to light to the credit of the city they have followed the far in drawing up new regulations. The public has had in, so to speak, to ex-views on the zoning in opposition to light industry course, lies in the area affected. And, the folks who have had their say. All note on the map that desirable industrial area lies between the railroads projecting out of the hills of Anaheim on the way follows the rails. Of this area is groves. Course, is something of a groves can be purported that it reduces the householders who are on the zoning. And, much not even in the present state of Anaheim. By real sense the home-on-the-area have enclosed the industrial site. Broads poked their lines into the area. The railroads industry. Then came the pressing plants to service the orange groves in the area. Both the plants and the groves are industries. Industrial plants, naturally, follow rail lines. As one citizen told the City Planning commission: “Anaheim owes its very existence to the fact that in the past men were farsighted enough to invest money and to locate facilities for the processing of citrus fruit in Anaheim. They located these necessary processing plants along the railroad tracks. "They used what space they needed to do the job and left the remainder to produce fruit so that they had something to process. The growing of fruit is in itself an industry and not a residential function although it uses no buildings or machinery as we commonly associate with industrial activity." This man concluded his statement by saying that the transition in the area is merely the citrus industry making way for other industry. Even so, the fact must be faced: People do live in the area, people do have homes there, and a new school building is being built between the railroad tracks. We must respect these people's property. And, we must protect the public’s investment in the new school plant being built between the railroad tracks on E. South st. Consequently, should a compromise be made in favor of the school? Would that compromise be to zone the area immediately adjacent to the school for homes or multiple dwellings? Light industry then could not encroach on the school house area. That again brings up the thought that perhaps the school and light industry could live in harmony if the industry is landscaped (screened), traffic controlled, and if extra care is exercised in what type of light industry is located near the school area. It is hoped that the new zoning ordinance will demand the Planning Commission scrutinize each application for industrial building in the school area, thereby assuring no inoffensive plant will be located near the school. The homeowners residing in the railway area are of course, concerned about the future of their homes. They, see the specter of noisy, sluggish, traffic, parking lots near homes; and belching smokestacks on the other side of the shrubbery. Part of this controversy could be resolved by some sensible information on what light industry is and exactly how it can affect the value and ATTRACTIVENESS of an area. In the quarrel over light industry (and perhaps in these articles) far too much emphasis may have been placed in the “amount” of light industry which would be lured to Anaheim. To believe that once this ahead signal has been flashed would start an immediate and influx of industrial units into Anaheim area is probably not fancy. Actually, there is no large number of light industries claim to come to Anaheim. They have to be “sold” on the area. Growth in this respect—oasis of present trends—courts mightly slow, a matters of fact. Of course, all the arguments the world in favor of higher education, community wealth, etc., cruing to the property owner doesn’t mean a thing to a family with a home for his wife and child. But, one logical argument may be that such a thing as light dustry would make it possible for the family to buy a new home away from the tracks and traffic. New, good, substantial homes —built away from tracks—within the incomes of people is, to many of these an extremely bright possibility in the homes vs. industry conversely. Another solution could be help-light industries locate wide-open spaces of the zone gradually encroach, if neces- on the more thickly settled area. In this way a maximum amount of control could be exercised to protect the home owner. However, this has its drawback. It is simly too expensive to “become.” (Continued on Page 7) ZETTE BER 12, 1950 5c a Copy — 50c Per Month No. 118 The Weather S. Calif.—Night and morning low clouds.

TOKYO—American First Cavalrymen stormed uphill through a withering day-long barrage of red Korean gunfire and at dusk won a peak commanding a main northern approach to Taegu. The troopers in battalion strength — 1000 — won Hill 314, eight miles north of Taegu, at heavy cost. They knew their job was to check what was officially called “the main threat” to Taegu, north-west anchor of the Allied line. The hill had been held by an outpost from a force of 40,000 red Koreans, massed for a fresh assault upon the South Korean provisional capital. Another outpost remained on a nearby peak. Allied big guns and warplanes hurled a curtain of steel at the reds before the assault. Then the troopers hit the slopes. They fought two-thirds of the distance in five bitter hours. But the reds, throwing a barrage of artillery, mortar and machinegun fire from the two peaks, stalled the drive at that point throughout most of Tuesday afternoon. Their shells set fire to part of Chilgok town, five miles north of Taegu. The troopers finally stormed the (Continued on Page 5) Unhurt Guards Hailed Heroes CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind.

His critics have contended he did not have the defense establishment in proper shape. President Truman has stood by the secretary consistently, however. Military Honors Planned for Smuts PRETORIA, South Africa, (AP)—South Africa today planned a military funeral for her greatest soldier and one of the democratic word’s foremost elder statesmen—Field Marshal Jan Christiaan Smuts. The spade-bearded Smuts, a leader in three wars and two world peace movements, died last night in his 81st year. He had been ill since a back ailment forced him to bed May 28, four days after his 80th birthday. Funeral services will be held Friday in Pretoria’s leading Dutch Reformed Church, the “Groots Kerk.” Burial will probably be at Smuts’ farm “Doornkoof,” where he died. It is 10 miles from Pretoria. A military funeral was being arranged at the request of Smuts’ family. The Field Marshal’s physician said death resulted from a heart collapse following a cerebral embolism, or settlement of a blood clot in the brain. Pneumonia, influenza and heart strain had complicated the old fighter’s condition. Unhurt Guards Hailed Heroes CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind. (AP)—Northeast Pennsylvania National Guardsmen who escaped injury in a train wreck at Coshocton, O., yesterday, were greeted as heroes when they arrived at Camp Atterbury this morning. Maj. Gen. Daniel Strickler, commanding general of the Keystone Division, flew back from the wreckage where 33 men in a troop train died in order to greet the survivors personally at their training camp. "I would be willing to take this outfit into combat right now," General Strickler told the weary troops, "on the basis of the way it reacted to emergency at Coshocton." He added that too much could not be said for the way citizens of Coshocton went all out to help the soldiers. Earlier arrivals at the camp had a hot meal ready for the wreck survivors—and made-up bunks that were even more welcome. GBS Shows Rapid Recup LUTON, Eng., (AP)—George Bernard Shaw amazed his nurses today by sitting up in bed less than 24 hours after a bone-setting operation. The 94-year-old playwright is described by his nurses as a "very good patient," but they added that he gave them strict orders—keep in mind that he is a vegetarian and serve him no meat. The operation was performed last night, and a mid-afternoon bulletin today said Shaw's condition continues to be satisfactory. A military funeral was being arranged at the request of Smuts' family. The Field Marshal's physician said death resulted from a heart collapse following a cerebral embolism, or settlement of a blood clot in the brain. Pneumonia, influenza and heart strain had complicated the old fighter's condition. Cagy Cops Bag Burglar A trap set for a burglar at the Orange County Willys Automobile agency, 310 E. Fifth st., Santa Ana, last night resulted in the capture of Thelma Lee Wilmoth, Jr., 25, 222 Cypress ave., Santa Ana, a former employee of the agency. Wilmoth is being held in the county jail on a burglary charge. Aroused by earlier burglaries in the agency, its manager James E. Copeland had been lying in wait inside the establishment for the last several nights. He was there last night when Wilmoth assertedly entered the agency through a rear door with a pass key. By pre-arrangement with police, Copeland flashed a signal to officers Garrison and Pillsbury who were stationed nearby. They immediately entered the agency and nabbed Wilmoth. He allegedly admitted burglary of the same agency last May 8 when $20 in cash and $100 in checks were stolen. He also admitted, police said, on subsequent occasions he had entered the agency and stolen small sums from a soft drink dispenser. Temperatures The temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 this afternoon was 76 degrees. High temperature for the past 24 hours was 76 degrees at 4:30 p.m. yesterday. Low was 63 at 6 a.m. today.
