And with it they urged all prospective participants to “get ’em while they’re still hot.” The gala affair is slated for this Saturday night, December 2. Dinner time is 6:30; dancing commences at 9. More than 400 AUHS old grads are expected, says Doye Ford, dinner-dance planner. Reservations can be made at the high school office or through Jack C. Dutton, Fullerton 2658 or 247; George Winand, Anaheim 2306; Jackson’s Drug Store; Le-Duc Shell Service or any of the dinner-dance committeemen. The charge is $4 per couple. Committee members include Dutton, Winand, Walt Taylor, Ford, Dave Clark, Mrs. Eldon Hauck and Mrs. Edward Vandenberg. In addition to dancing and dining, AUHS alumni will nominate next year’s alumni association officers, Ford indicated. Dinner will be served in the study hall. For dancing, Eustace Rojas and his band will provide the music. In addition, a snappy entertainment program is in the offing. And there will be door prizes. Those responsible include Riutcel Brothers, Moon’s Gift Shop, Clarice Sports Wear, Jackson’s and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dutton. The latter two will put up 25 silver dollars in honor of the Class of Councilmen Hear Magnolia Plight Anaheim City Councilmen last night heard the plight of JOS engineers. As of the disastrous fire at the Pacific Clay Products Los Nietos plant on Thanksgiving, they’ll be short some 8000 feet of 39 inch vitrified pipe. Sewer plans call for 26,000 feet of the pipe. Pacific Clay had an order for about 14,000 feet, Gladding McBean of Los Angeles, an order for 12,00 feet. Pacific Clay produced 6400 feet of pipe before the fire destroyed manufacturing equipment. This plus the Gladding McBean order leaves about 8000 feet of pipe to be made. The latter concern figures to produce some 2000 feet of pipe a month. Last night, Gladding McBean vice-president E. M. Davids told Anaheim councilmen that his company would take on the order for the additional pipe at the 2000 foot per month schedule. This would increase pipe production time by some four months. Davids said his price would stand at East States Face Huge Cleanup Job By the Associated Press Big industrial centers in the storm-lashed Eastern states appeared moving toward near normal operations today. But a big cleanup job remained in many areas. It looked like a glow and tedious right before resumption of normal activities in some of the hardest hit sections of the storm belt. The death toll mounted to nearly 300 from the savage weekend storms which whipped over areas in 22 Eastern and Midwest states. Damages continued to grow. Uncounted thousands suffered privations. Many still were without heat, electricity or telephones. The damage to property from the snow, winds, sleet and rain was estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Most of the metropolitan areas in snow-battered Ohio were heading back to near normalcy. But smaller communities, lacking manpower and snow - removal equipment, still had much work to do before getting out from the mountains of snow. Most schools remained closed. The storm caused 64 deaths—tops among the 22 states in the storm belt. Pittsburgh showed signs of breaking out of the storm-caused Dinner will be served in the study hall. For dancing, Eustace Rojas and his band will provide the music. In addition, a snappy entertainment program is in the offing. And there will be door prizes. Those responsible include Riutcel Brothers, Moon's Gift Shop, Clarice Sports Wear, Jackson's and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Dutton. The latter two will put up 25 silver dollars in honor of the Class of '25 which notes its quarter-century mark Saturday. Change in Tax Routine to Net Saving for City Transfer of Anaheim tax assessment and collection duties from the city to county officials will save Anaheim some $8000-$10,000 per year, City Clerk Charles Griffith related last night and herewith gave first reading to an ordinance calling for such a change. Citing the city's growth as reason for increased cost of assessment and collection operations, Griffith maintained that said transfer of duties from city to county would lop off part-time salaries and supply costs, now sustained by the city, to the monetary extent indicated. He pointed out that city and county assessments in Anaheim coincide so closely anyway, that unnecessary duplication of functions actually exists. Further, he added, transfer of the chore would release time to keep local realty records up to date, a function which has suffered through lack of available time. Last night, Gladding McBean vice-president E. M. Davids told Anaheim councilmen that his company would take on the order for the additional pipe at the 2000 foot per month schedule. This would increase pipe production time by some four months. Davids said his price would stand at $15.50 per foot as originally quoted. The Pacific Clay price on the pipe completed it $14.80 per foot. Councilmen advised Davids to put this proposition in writing in time for consideration by engineers tomorrow afternoon. JOS manager Nelson Launer said this morning that it is doubtful whether sewer engineers will be able to wait out the extra time. Protestant U.N. Ushered In CLEVELAND (AP)—The National Council of Churches of Christ—a United Nations for American Protestants—came into being today amid trumpet fanfare and stirring pageantry. Dr. Franklin Clark Fry of New York, president of the United Lutheran church, intoned: "I declare that the National Council of the Church of Christ in the United States of America is officially constituted.

The storm caused 64 deaths—tops among the 22 states in the storm belt. Pittsburgh showed signs of breaking out of the storm-caused paralysis. Mid-town department stores opened for the first time since Saturday. Employees also were called back to work in the ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZET ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1950 China Reds Nix Talk on Korean War By Tom Ochiltree LAKE SUCCESS (P)—The Chinese communist delegation spurned a place at the U.N. Security Council's table today—in protest against the inclusion of the Korean question on the council's agenda. President Aes Bebler of Yugoslavia invited the Chinese reds to take their place at the horseshoe-shaped table when the council By Tom Ochiltree LAKE SUCCESS (P)—The Chinese communist delegation spurned a place at the U.N. Security Council’s table today—in protest against the inclusion of the Korean question on the council’s agenda. President Ales Bebler of Yugoslavia invited the Chinese reds to take their place at the horseshoe-shaped table when the council convened. Peiping’s spokesman, Wu Hsi-Chuan, remained in his place at the side of the room. Other members of the Chinese red delegation remained with him. Yesterday Wu made it clear the Chinese reds had no intention of withdrawing their troops from the Korean warfront. The Chinese reds told United Nations officials privately that they would not sit in the council unless the agenda was restricted to their charges of American aggression against Formosa. Wu's unyielding attitude has caused foreboding in U.N. circles on the chances of localizing the Korean fighting. This feeling prevailed even among delegations that urged bringing the Chinese reds to Lake Success in the hope of a joint security agreement could be worked out. Peiping's spokesman blasted many of those hopes in the Security Council yesterday when he (Continued on page 5) Two Drivers Crash in Fog Fog, which had been successfully negotiated by local motorists during its invasion, finally caught up with the drivers last night as two of them hit stationary objects in the gloomy overcast.

Anaheim councilmen last night heard first reading of an emergency ordinance to this effect. Next reading is scheduled Dec. 12, after which the emergency provision becomes law. The move originated with the Retail Merchant's division of the Chamber of Commerce. The reason for the limitation request: shop owners and workers park their cars in the city lots and by 9 a.m. each day the lots are full to the exclusion of potential customers, the merchants maintain. The merchants are asking the emergency measure in order to make way for anticipated Christmas shopping crowds. At Councilman Oscar Heying's suggestion, the two-hour limit will be imposed between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eight Retailers Up for Chamber Executive Group Eight members of the retail division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce were under consideration today to be elected for a three-year term to the executive committee.
