VOLUME LXXX Anaheim's FIRST Newspaper ANAH Council Authorizes Sale Of JOS Section to Dists. First action in the long, agonizing effort of eight Orange county sanitation districts to take over Section One of the Joint Outfall Sewer was taken last night when Anaheim City Council, acting as contracting agency, authorized the sale of the section to the sanitation districts. Total amount of sale of the first section is $1,283,000. Nelson Launer, JOS manager, said this is a depreciated figure and set the actual value of the facilities at $1,750,000. Payment for the section is to be made over a number of years without participating cities and districts contributing according to a complicated schedule. Other facilities of JOS will be transferred over a period of years.

A. P. correspondent Tom S Red Cross Fund Indications Good Early reports indicate the Red Cross Fund drive is meeting with a good response from the public and first returns show that 12 per cent of the quota has been reached. Clyde Nickle, chairman of the fund drive, is quite optimistic and hopes that the goal will be reached by March 15. He urged all solicitors to turn in their kits as soon as possible in order that the returns may be quickly tabulated. The goal for 1951 is some $5000 higher than that for 1950, due to increased activity of the Red Cross because of the Korean War and defense activities at home. Nickle today urged that donations equivalent to the cost of processing one pint of blood—$7—be made. The Korean war has vastly increased the need for blood, consequently forcing the expenditure of added sums in collection and processing, he said.

P. correspondent Tom Stone reported "the sudden appearance of the massing reds all but checkmated a U.S. Seventh Division attack that started earlier in the day." An ROK battalion was un-reported at nightfall. ROK troops on the American division's right flank were forced to withdraw one to three miles. Red resistance was bitter elsewhere on the central and west-central fronts. On the western end of the attack line, a battalion of the famous 27th Wolfhound Regiment of the U.S. 25th Division surged across the twisting Han in assault boats. The battalion shoved off at 6:15 a.m. (4:15 p.m. EST Tuesday). Its crossing point was not given. However, the 25th Division was located only last week as near Punwon, 15 miles east of Seoul.

East of the crossing points, the U.S. First Marine Division, four American Infantry Divisions, and their attached Allied elements pushed off.

The location is part of a 10-acre tract running from Water to North St., along the Santa Rita Rd. The land was purchased by R. P. Allen. The choice of the Anaheim corporation was the result of care-study on the part of company officials, engineers, and the company's architect, he said. "The mission on where to locate the plant was based on three important points. The first and foremost land with the proper sanding soil and railroad facilities move the company's products in the least possible delay. Last, by no means least, was easy accessibility for our present labor force to get to and from work."

Election Expected in Only One Division A slate of prospective candidates for the board of directors of Orange county Municipal Water district, which was formed at a special election, Jan. 5, was taking shape today with a contest in prospect in only one of the five divisions concerned. In Division Three which extends along the northern side of the county, three candidates are tentatively in the field, it was learned today. The Yorba Linda-Placentia districts are presenting the candidacy of Clerm McCullough promptly. While the western side of the district is split into two factions—the La Habra area proposing Councilman C. A. Newman of La Habra, with Buena Park backing the candidacy of Ernest Jenkinson, recently of the Orange county personnel department. The district generally is evidencing considerable concern over the possibility that a run-off-election might be required in division Three if no candidate receives a majority of the vote.

The annual attempt of the little fish to lay their eggs ashore, and the annual attempt of grunion-lovers to capture them in the process, is scheduled to start Friday night. Grunion are a five-inch species found only on the Southern California coast, and the only known fish to male on land. They make a succulent breakfast, but are a tricky breed... there's a lot of coastline where they can make their run, and as often as not they pick a section largely unpopulated by their hunters. For an hour during the three-night run, if you've picked a lucky spot, the females float in on the waves, burrow in the sand and lay their eggs. Males arch themselves around the females to artillize the eggs. Sometimes a dozen males will crowd around a single female. Sometimes a female will be ignored. She'll wait for several successive waves, and if she's still slighted she goes back to sea, presumably to try again. State law provides that grunion can only be caught with the hands—not nets or other artificial means. While the fish makes numerous runs during the season, the season is closed from the first run in March until June when it opens again at bi-monthly periods through August. All runs are governed by the moon and tides. Friday's starts at 10:30 p.m., Saturday's at 11 and Sunday's at 11:50.
