'ROUND TOWN — Henry H. (Hercules) Acton, who was reared in ANAHEIM may be an operator (for the Edison Company, that is) but he is first and always a radio ham who does more than his share to make the annual field days as successful as possible... Incidentally, his son, Jimmy, a tinymite, is going to be a ballplayer if nothing happens. The kid is good! Plenty good!... Kenneth Chesley of the Chesley Transportation Co. of Long Beach was quite an athlete in his day. The ANAHEIMER was strong as an ox. In a college wrestling match heavyweights were no match for him. He had to be careful lest he break his opponents' arms and legs. No kiddin'—he was that strong!... That was about the time when Clarence Nishizu, an ANAHEIMER, was showing the boys how to judo one another... Bill Schumacher is a keen analyst of the market trends. His predictions, where citrus is concerned, come pretty close to hitting the nail on the head every time... PARADE DEBUT—Another of the giant Mardi-Gras balloons making a first West Coast appearance at the Anaheim Hallowe'en Parade is the cowboy—16 feet of him, bedecked in red and white checkered shirt, yello... neckerchief, chaps and a brown leather belt to support his britches. In addition to the cowboy, 30 other feirs... PARADE DEBUT—Another of the giant Mardi-Gras balloons making a first West Coast appearance at the Anaheim Hallowe'en Parade is the cowboy—16 feet of him, bedecked in red and white checkered shirt, yello... neckerchief, chaps and a brown leather belt to support his britches. In addition to the cowboy, 30 other fairy-land features will be present, including the two-headed cat, the old woman in the shoe, Jack the giant killer, the 110 foot griffin, and various other animals. Freedom Crusaders Extend Activities To Day of World-Wide Installation While preliminary reports from all parts of Southern California indicate overwhelming public support of the Crusade for Freedom, cooperating organizations today planned to conclude their campaign work on United Nations Day October 24, when the huge Freedom Bell is installed in Berlin. Lt. Gen. Ira C. Eaker, USAF (Ret.), Southern California chairman, announced that Crusade activities have been extended eight days to coincide with world-wide ceremonies denoting installation of the Freedom Bell. Although some communities have already completed their campaigns, most areas in Southern California planned to continue enrollment and contribution stations until United Nations Day, Eaker said. General Eaker urged everyone to avail themselves of the opportunity to sign the Freedom Scrolls and contribute to support of Radio Free Europe. Contributions may be made either at the time of signing the scroll, or may be sent to Southern California Office of the Crusade at Hughes Aircraft Company, Culver City, California. TOPICAL TOPIX — Buddy Bradford apparently is following Duane Fickle's footsteps as press agent for the Valencia athletes. He's doing a mighty sweet job. Darren House is cooperating with him by sparking the Placentia team ... Martin Echeto, the personable Yorba Lindan says, Dan'l Kraemer got himself a one-way ticket to Europe. He's really making his graduation trip educational ... Once upon a time Rex Huddleston, the ANAHEIMER, was the ball tottingest ball carrier Brea-Olinda had. Why the little kid made history when he ran through the powerful Inglewood football team one November afternoon in 1932 ... Carl Gearhardt works in the Olinda hills where there is still plenty of wildlife. Last week he bagged himself a deadly rattler. He presented the rattler's rattle to Herb Pontins, the TV wrestling fan ... Incidentally, Herb says watching TV wrestling is safer than sitting at ringside. He almost caught Man Mountain Dean in his lap. ANAHEIMITEM — The ANAHEIM Federal building (Post Office) is a monumental structure giving beauty to a thriving city. But it is strictly rural as the post office in the country store. Many a day chickens can be seen scratching and clucking on the lawns. A family of bantams is quite at home there. FESTIVE — ANAHEIM streets were decorated with banners and bunting over the week-end by a San Gabriel Advertising concern. It, and the heavy growth of chin whiskers, give ample evidence that something is going to happen and happen soon ...

FENNELL, Agent Santa Fe Station, Phone 3107 ANAHEIM Women Drivers Safety Weak Spot CHICAGO (UP) — The national women are giving only "token support" to the problem of accident prevention, says a national safety council official. "It is sad but true that the so-called weaker sex is the weak spot in safety," Paul Jones, the council's information director, told women delegates yesterday at the group's annual convention. "The irony of it is that, as any man knows, it is not the weaker sex at all, but the greatest potential force safety could have. We have failed utterly to arouse in women the crusading spirit that sends them into other worthy causes with a zeal that makes victory undeniable." “This strange reluctance to participate more actively in safety is all the more surprising when you consider that the basic maternal instinct is supposed to be a protective urge.” Jones said the "amazing apathy" of women toward the accident problem is one of the "biggest obstacles to any real reduction of the accident toll." 4-H Shopping Day Set October 21 The first Orange County 4-H Shopping Day is scheduled for October 21 at the Santa Ana High school' Little Theatre, states Ann Girod, Home Adviser for the Agricultural Extension Service.

Door prizes will be given by Alpert’s Dry Goods and yardage for demonstrations is being loaned by J. C. Penny Company. After the morning program the girls will shop in Santa Ana stores for their 4-H sewing projects. Ulcers Go Out With the Corset PALM SPRINGS, Calif., (AP)—Old-fashioned corsets went out of style and peptic ulcers among women declined, says a medical expert. Using the year 1900 as a turning point, Dr. Andrew C. Ivy said that before the turn of the century there were about three times as many peptic ulcer cases among women as among men. Today, since the stiff shirts and tight lacings have been tossed out the style window, the ratio is reversed. Dr. Ivy, vice-president of the University of Illinois, added in his lecture to a dental medicine seminar yesterday that the beneficial effect of more comfortable foundations for the ladies was accompanied by a general change in the American Way of Life and in- Mice Make Hay As Cats Jingle CRESSKILL, N. J. (AP)—Once upon a time, all the mice got together and decided to hang a bell on the cat. The bell would tinkle when the cat crept up on them and they would be forewarned. All the mice thought this was a great idea. They applauded and whistled and stamped their feet and cheered. Then a mouse asked "Who will put the bell on the cat?" Nobody answered. But in Cresskill, the old fairy tail has come true for the mice. Cats have to wear not one bell, but three. Of course, the ordinance is designed to protect birds, not mice. And it has stirred up a medium-sized controversy between cat lovers and bird lovers. The bird lovers claim the household cats cause tremendous carnage among song birds. The cat fanciers don't like the ordinance, mainly because it also entails a $2-per-year license fee for all pet felines. The measure, passed here by the borough council last April, is based on one adopted in nearby Tenafly, N. J. 10 years ago. Why three bells? The reasoning is that cats, being pretty clever when it comes to catching birds or mice, would learn how to move around without thinking if they had just one bell around their necks. "But with three bells, a cat's got its paws full," a borough official said. SUIT FILED North American Credit Ass'n has filed suit in superior court to obtain judgment for $1009.23, on an account alleged to be due the Home Oil Company or merchandise supplied to the defendants, Lillian Yaeger, Wayne A.

Palm st., Anaheim, on October 1, pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity, when arraigned before Superior Judge Raymond Thompson Friday. Meanwhile Anaheim police announced that, with Hunter's arrest, they believe other burglaries have been solved. Hunter's plea or not guilty was entered through Public Defender N. D. Meyer after District Attorney James L. Davis refused to give Meyer more time to plead to charges of previous felony convictions in Colorado, New Jersey, and Riverside county. Hunter is alleged to have used the name of Jacob Harrison. Judge Thompson ordered an examination of Hunter by two psychiatrists and set trial for Dec. 4 in department one of the court.

"I missed my train connection and I've just had to reach my brother Mike," said a small voice. It's with the Navy in Port City but I don't know what to call him." Operator 11 had heard such voices more. And as she said, "We'll find him," she was going an operator forty miles away. An unusual story? Not at all. We get many years telling how our operators do their best to call through...no matter what. And we hear reports about our linemen, installers, service representatives and others who meet the public daily. We like to receive these letters. For they tell that you recognize "the spirit of service"...so much a part of telephone work...so important in using your telephone ever more valuable to you.
