Anaheim Gazette MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Kapell Hit LA Philharmonic Chop, Chop, Chop The Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra played in Fullerton last night. So much for that part of the review. William Kapell, the young American pianist, was also fortunately on the program and managed to save what little prestige Orange countians may still regard for the philharmonic. The program, which barely manged to stretch to an hour and one-half despite an encore by Kapell, included one-half of a symphony, three-fourths of a suite, and no-thirds of a piano concerto. By the time the clipping was finished, the philharmonic had even eliminated the intermission. Sandwiched around these partial works were two which managed to get through in their entirety—Humperdinck's overture to Hansel and Gretel and Rachmaninoff's Second Piano concerto. The abbreviated works were Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 3 and Ragel's Four (there were really only three) Tone Poems for Full Orchestra after Arnold Bocklin, Op. 128. (The title is longer than the composition.) As was the case when the philharmonic appeared here last month, Director Alfred Wallenstein was absent because of illness and the orchestra was conducted by Assistant Conductor William Barnett Wallenstein. RICHARD S. GRIGGS Griggs' Attending Specialists' School Pfc. Richard S. Griggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. Griggs of 9181 S. Hanson rd., Anaheim, is attending an aviation specialist course in the Technical Training center at Chanute Air Force base, Illinois, stated a news release from the public information office at Chanute Air Force base. Upon successful completion of his schooling at the end of about eight weeks, Pfc. Griggs will be re-assigned to a permanent Air Force base. He has been in the military service for one year.

G rellinquished his duties as As was the case when the philharmonic appeared here last month, Director Alfred Wallenstein was absent because of illness and the orchestra was conducted by Assistant Conductor William Barnett. Wallenstein was not the only one to show up, the Fullerton junior college being roughly half filled for the concert. Though only a month later, Barnett appeared quite changed in his manner of conduction last night. When he appeared in Anaheim, he was a rather quiet, subdued type, while last night he became the dynamic arm waver. His more positive attitude was shown in a single manerism in which he persisted in poking his left index finger at the first violin section during the overture and the Mendelsohn symphony. In an amazing display of poor timing, the philharmonic cancelled its proposed playing of Mozart's Piano concerto No. 12 and followed that immediately with Reger's three tone poems. The parts played were "The Hermit," "Sport of the Waves," and "A Livelly Barcarolle." The first was a rather dreary battle between the first-chair violinist and the remainder of the orchestra, while the other two were mere blobs of noises which failed to drown out an insistent hammering on a triangle throughout their antirety. A recoup was made, however, when Kapell immediately followed these. Kapell, who is 28, has the appearance of an even younger man and he plays with the exuberance of that youth. His piano was extremely forte, never once losing out to the strong Rachmaninoff orchestral accompaniment. He detracted slightly during the first movement by jabbing his thumb into his mouth several times and he had trouble with his hair in the latter part, but he offset this by taking a cherubic interest in the orchestra, gawking at the instrumentalists about him during his non-playing passages. It was noteworthy that Kapell made his hit with the Rachmaninoff concerto, which has become a tired composition since the persisting insistence to chop it up into a number of popular songs. Last night he awakened it. With all of the cutting, chopping and absenteeism, it is probably not out of place to note here that the Mendelsohn symphony, which was given in part last night, is aptly subtitled "The Scotch." E.A.B. Optimists to Hold Guest Night Al Garey, 2nd vice-president, presided over the Optimist meeting Thursday in the absence of President Tom Yellis. "Man of the Hour" was H. W. Summers, butcher at the West Alpha Beta Market. Harwood Larson, building chairman, reported that plans were working on schedule to complete the forms for the pouring of the bond beam this weekend for the Optimist Boy's Clubhouse. A musical program was led off with William Fackiner rendering several vocal selections, accompanied by Mrs. Fackiner at the piano. Phillip Taylor followed with several violin renditions, also accompanied by Mrs. Fackiner. J. W. Stgphen, program chairman for the evening, introduced last night's program.

Warns Kite flying season is approaching soon again and with it the necessity for observing a few simple safety rules according to R. E. Bacon, Southern California Edison company district manager. It is important for parents to impress children with the necessity of keeping kites away from electric power lines. Bacon said. Kites should be flown only in open fields well away from power lines or other overhead obstructions. It is important to remember that the kite string is at an angle and may pass over lines some distance away, so care should be taken in choosing the spot. Wire tinsel or metallic string should never be used, as they are conductors of electricity. Regular wire cords will also conduct electricity when they become wet, so it is important not to let them touch the ground when it is damp. Under no circumstances should children attempt to distodge a kite that has become tangled in an electric line. A telephone call to the company owning the line will bring a linesman with the proper equipment to take the kite safely from the lines. Kite flying is an enjoyable sport that need never be dangerous if these simple rules are followed. Bacon said.

Looking on are Splice Lee Snyder and Lineman S. J. Henry. Orange County T & T Employees Train in 'Defensive Driving' Defensive Driving! This is the guiding principle in a safe driving training and testing program reaffirmed given to 108 construction and engineering department employees of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company in Orange county, and continuing with other company groups, it was announced today by Manager R. J. Rossberg. He said that in its initial test here the company set up a special measured course in Santa Ana as one of the operating points for this driving and training plan. The manager defined a "defensive driver" as one who makes allowances for the lack of skill and look of knowledge of three parts; a skill test; a "detonator" test and a road test. The skill test measures the efficiency of the driver in the mechanical operation of the vehicle. The "detonator" test measures accurately the exact distance traveled by a vehicle at various speeds during the time required for the driver to move his foot from the accelerator pedal and apply the brake. In the road test the driver's habits are noted and errors scored. Each driver tested here received six hours actual training and testing. Pacific Telephone has launched this special safety program because it wants to do everything Reserve Police Do First Firing Six of Anaheim's Police Reserve officers were given preliminary instructions in the use of firearms and did their first range ring yesterday afternoon under the direction and instruction of Motor Patrol Officer Norbert DeCock. DeCock said the main emphasis was laid on instruction in safety with firearms, range rules and regulations. While no organized program of range training has been set up for the reserves, DeCock said such a program will be established as soon as supplies for immunition loading become plentiful again. At present, the said, primers for the shells are not readily available. Shell loading or Anaheim police, is done by DeCock and Officer Forrest Wolterton. In addition to limited range instruction and practice, police reserves attend classes at the police station three hours per week and also take in first aid classes at the fire station.

Clark, insurance man from San Francisco, California, writes; "From all I can gather, the West's oil companies have contributed a lot to our area. Now there's talk about breaking them up. What I'd like to know is who wants to upset the West's oil industry now?" Do customers? Not likely. Oil companies have turned out constantly better products and services at reasonable prices. Except for taxes, a gallon of gasoline today costs about what it did in 1919. Do employees? The average income of 28,000 Standard people was $4,447 last year. And Standard Oilers are covered by sickness, free insurance, retirement and other employee benefits. Do small business men? Standard of California is a big customer for small businesses in the West. Last year, for example, we spent more than $90,000,000 with some 10,000 business firms. Do stockholders? Surely not. There has never been a year when Standard has failed to pay a dividend. 98,600 individuals share the earnings of Standard; depend on the stability of Standard to save their savings. Do tax collectors? Standard turns in the taxes you pay when you buy gasoline. Oil and we are also taxed of course, as a company. Because we are big, our taxes are sizeable last year, for example, over $95,000,000. Do military men? Planes, ships, tanks are powered with oil. Military men naturally look to the big companies to supply their needs. As in World War II, standard's facilities are producing petroleum products at full speed. STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF CALIFORNIA plans ahead to serve you better
