The teachers were away — at school. The occasion the annual Orange county teachers institute; the place: Anaheim high school and Fremont school. They came from all over the county for the largest convention of the year. By the time they were assembled, there were between 1800 and 2400 of them in the auditoriums of the two Anaheim schools. The institute, which meets in some county city every year, is a required affair for county educators. For attendance they receive four hours of credit out of the ten required during each academic year. Today's program consisted of two large general meetings, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, plus individual group sessions at lunch time. General topic this morning was O'Kane Named To Ike Post John O'Kane, Anaheim, is the newly elected conservation director for the California Division of the Izaak Walton League. He was elected at the close of the two day state convention in Long Beach, Saturday. Bob Waltz of Bakersfield was re-elected president of the organization. Convention was held in the municipal auditorium and at the Welton Hotel and featured some of the foremost speakers on conservation in California. Rodney Ellsworth, delegate to the recent United Nations conference on conservation in New York, spoke of the world need of conservation at the Friday dinner meeting. District Fish and Game biologist, Willis Evans, was featured on the same program. Other Anaheim Ikes and Ikettes attending the convention were Mrs. John O'Kane, Mr. and Mrs. Walt Riesterer, Mr. and Mrs. Arch Henry, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Wingert, Mrs. Dick Martin, Mrs. Goldie Ruyle, Jim Rymer, Ralph Cox and Clint Flynn. IT'S ALL YOURS—That's what Anaheim's Mayo: Charles Pearson dent Tom Yellis, left, and Harwood Larson, new first vice-presidion setting aside the period November 12-18 as Optimist Week. Opt engaged in the construction of the new Boys Club on W. Chartres s Boys Work Cited as Nation Observes Optimists Week "... Whereas the Optimists are devoting their efforts to the task of developing and rehabilitating boys into responsible men and particularly is the Anaheim Optimist Club performing a service of great value to the city . . . Now therefore, I, as Mayor of the City of Anaheim do hereby commend the Optimststs of this city for the service they have performed in our community and I further proclaim that the week of November 12 through November 18 shall be duly observed in the City of Anaheim as Optimist Week. I further urge that every citizen of the City of Anaheim join in observing Optimist Week and abiding by its policy as "A Friend of the Boy" and its recognition of the importance of "Today's Boy—Tomorrow's Leader." With this proclamation, Mayor Charles Pearson launched Optimist week in Anaheim—a period set aside to observe and commend the efforts of the organization which devotes a large part of its efforts to the welfare of the nation's youth. Along with Anaheim, the cities and towns the country over are observing Optimist Week. Optimist Week in Anaheim has two focal points. One is the scheduled appearance of Optimist International president George O. Browne of Denver. Browne will 'Honey Bear' Will Walk Again SACRAMENTO (F)—Gov. Earl Warren and his family were overjoyed today at the news: His youngest daughter, Nina "Honey Bear," 17, will recover from polio . . . and will walk again. Dr. Junius B. Harris said tests showed her legs are no longer paralyzed, but are very weak. Nina's sister, Dorothy, 19, exclaimed, "that's wonderful. Oh, how wonderful" when told Nina would walk again. Governor and Mrs. Warren were at the hospital for the examination yesterday. Dr. Harris said Nina would not be crippled, she may be forced to convalescce for as long as a year and a half. The examination showed that muscles in Nina's hips and legs, paralyzed in the week-old attack, had recused functioning but Ike Hushes Talk Of Atlantic Job OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, who daily has to deny he has been named to head an Atlantic defense army, insists this is no time to discuss the matter. “There is no Atlantic pact army at present to lead.” He explained to a news conference here yesterday that “there must be certain basic political agreements reached before there is any North Atlantic pact defense zone.” At Fort Worth, Tex., last week the Columbia University president was quoted as saying he soon will have a military assignment in Europe. But he said there was a misunderstanding about those remarks. The war-time European Allied commander-in-chief laughingly shrugged off a question as to whether he would be a Republican presidential candidate in 1952. As for the Republican gains in last Tuesday's general elections, he remarked: “As a soldier, I am not called on to interpret the election results.” Latin Military Leader Killed CARACAS, Venezuela (AP)—Lt. Col. Carlos Delgado Chalbaud, head of Venezuela's military government, was assassinated today. Defense Minister Marcos Perez Jimenez, a surviving member of the three-man junta which has ruled Venezuela since the bloodless overthrow of leftist President Romulo Gallegos in November, 1948, announced the assassination in a nation-wide broadcast. Perez gave no details but announced an immediate clamp-down on civil liberties in this mineral-rich country where Americans have $2,000,000,000 invested in oil. Perez ordered the suspension of a number of civil guaranties relative to “the inviolability of correspondence and the home,” press freedom and the freedom to travel. This blocked permission to leave and re-enter the country. Public meetings were barred. Nina's sister, Dorothy, 19, exclaimed, “that's wonderful. Oh, how wonderful” when told Nina would walk again. Governor and Mrs. Warren were at the hospital for the examination yesterday. Dr. Harris said Nina would not be crippled, she may be forced to convalesce for as long as a year and a half. The examination showed that muscles in Nina's hips and legs, paralyzed in the week-old attack, had resumed functioning but are considerably weakened. Dr. Harris reported Nina's left leg is much stronger than the right, he termed her overall progress "remarkable." The pretty, golden-haired "Honey Bear" will stay at Sutter hospital another two weeks, then she will start long sessions of physical therapy at home. Santa Fe Divided In Kidnapping Of Girl SANTA FE, N. M., (AP)—Dr. Nancy Campbell, 43-year-old Yale trained woman doctor, was released from jail today on bond pending trial on charges of kidnapping a contractor's nine-year-old daughter. The $20,000 bond was signed by two doctors and two other property owners: Dr. Charlotte Jones, close friend, Dr. Herbert Ellis, vice president of the Santa Fe County Medical association; David Hughes and Walter G. Turley. Her attorney made immediate plans to send Dr. Campbell to an Albuquerque hospital. Through the night, a suicide guard watched in Dr. Campbell's ANAHEIM GAZETE EST. 1870 ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1950 Marines Push Toward Icy Way Is Undefended; Equipment Bogs SEOUL (AP) — Parka-clad U. S. Marines pushed cautiously five and a half miles through undefended, icy hills toward the great Changjin reservoir today. While the Marines advanced in the center of the front, there was dogged fighting near both coasts. Back of the front, United Nations forces drew a solid defense line across the narrow waist of Korea. The line was completed by Mayo: Charles Pearson, center, says to Optimist presinion, new first vice-president, as he signs the proclamation as Optimist Week.

(Arsene photo) Plane Crashes With 58 Aboard MARSEILLE, France (AP) — A Canadian DC-4 plane with 58 persons reported aboard crashed today near Mount Obliou, an 8500-foot peak about 30 miles south of Grenoble in southeastern France. The plane was en route from Rome to Paris. Citizens of Corps, a town of about 1000 inhabitants in Isere department where the crash occurred, said they had heard two explosions, then saw a glow of fire. Anaheimers Sue On Water Line Relocation Suit for an injunction and $5000 damages has been filed in Superior Court, Santa Ana, by Paul B. Knuese and Adelaide E. Black against the Anaheim Union Water co. and George M. Holstein & Sons. Complaint charges that the defendants last Tuesday removed water lines and were relocating them in such manner as to interfere with the water supply and water rights, also easement rights, U. S. Marines pushed cautiously five and a half miles through undefended, icy hills toward the great Changjin reservoir today. While the Marines advanced in the center of the front, there was dogged fighting near both coasts. Back of the front, United Nations forces drew a solid defense line across the narrow waist of Korea. The line was completed by the junction of the Third Division, built up to battle strength by the addition of South Koreans and Puerto Ricans, and the South Korean Eighth Division. The advancing Marines, bunbled like eskimos, wound through a corkscrew gorge in below freezing weather without tank support. Tank tracks churned the mountain road into a soggy mass that bogged down the heavy equipment. Marine planes flew close cover. Even that was unneeded as the Leathernecks ran into only a scattered handful of Chinese communists, remnants of the 124th Division, garbed in padded cotton uniforms. The reds were eliminated without Marine loss. To the west, communists appeared to be digging in or fighting delaying actions; but on the east coast they swarmed to the attack. North Koreans guarding the approaches to the Soviet border attacked in force on the east coast Monday under cover of a blinding snowstorm. The red spearhead battalion was led by tanks and self-propelled guns. It pushed across the Orangchon river, about 90 miles from the Soviet border, threatening to outflank a South Korean regiment. Near the west coast, U.S. First Cavalry Division units advanced a mile and one-half. That carried them halfway to the walled town of Yongbyon.

Vermont ave., Anaheim. This property receives water from adjacent property over which they hold an easement for pipe lines, the complaint states. Plaintiffs ask the court to prevent interference with the water supply in addition to the demand for damages. Anaheimers Urged To Sign Up for Blood Donations "Even with a relatively good record, Anaheim is donating only enough blood to take care of civilian needs. This in the face of mounting blood requirements in Korea." So said blood drive chairman Joe R. Thompson this morning as he launched into the final week of campaigning before the impeding visit of the Red Cross mobile blood unit in Anaheim this Friday afternoon. The collection unit will be at the Ebell club between the hours of 2 and 7 p.m. to accept contributions. Thompson reiterated that appointments for contributions can be made now by calling the local Red Cross office, 2065. Appointments, he said, prevent standing in line at the blood mobile, insure quick handling. The Friday appearance of the mobile blood unit has received the backing of the bulk of churches in Anaheim. Individual pastors have signified their intent to contribute as well as pledge to urge their congregations to do the same. A number of local organizations have formed blood donor groups which build up blood credits for use when need arises. A number of Anaheim families have already benefited from this plan. Among the local organizations which have formed donor groups are U.S.I., Kwikset Locks, Inc., and the SQR Store.

Heat continues to be generated by local folks who either liked or disliked the Hallowe’en Fair and Festival. The Gazette has published several letters on various aspects of the Fair. Today, on Page 4, is an interesting letter written by Warren Ashleigh in reply to a petition being circulated in Anaheim criticizing the Fair on several points. Judging from the intense interest stirred up by the recent Hallowe’en festival it would seem the event was a huge success! Read the Gazette’s two-cents worth on Page entitled “A spade is a spade.” Warren Ashleigh, president of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, today took note of the petition being circulated criticizing Hallowe’en Festival and Fair. Sent the Gazette a letter outlining his position on the whole list of events. He said the chamber accepted responsibility of producing the Hallowe’en festival in the knowledge that “perfection” can be obtained on such a venture. But, he pointed out, the chambers willing to accept bona fide criticism in order that mistakes be corrected in the future. Discussing the points in the petition criticising the Hallowe’en fest, Mr. Ashleigh in his letterished on Page 4 of today’s notice said: “Beautiful La Palma park” was “ruined” as charged by the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Dorothy K. Jordt, in replying to Chamber of Commerce President Warren Ashleigh’s letter said the situation had not stemmed from a criticism of the people who worked to promote the fair, but rather from a question as to the actual purpose of the fair. “Is it for the children of Anaheim or to make money?” She asked. “Is it simply a commercial venture or is it to provide some pleasure?” Dr. Jordt also pointed out that the petition was actually written before the fair got underway. “Many of the mothers in the Horace Mann school district were naturally worried about their children who were exposed to the carnival men in La Palma park for about a week,” she said. “Had the petition not been written until after the fair, it probably would have been more severe forest fire threat. The moisture which was sufficient to thoroughly dampen tinder-dry brushland measured only a few hundredths of an inch at most points.
