Shoppers of Northern Orange county tomorrow will get their first close-up look at one of the largest, finest and most complete food stores in this area when they attend the grand opening of the new Safeway store at 434 W. Commonwealth ave., corner of Richman, in Fullerton. The new Safeway store is of ultra-modern design, and has been under construction since last year. It is between four and five times larger than the former Safeway stores in this area, and is sparkling with the latest developments in food store design and equipment. Thousands are expected to visit the new market during the three-day celebration which begins tomorrow morning at 9:00 when the doors are officially opened for business for the first time. Of modern design, reinforced concrete and masonry construction, and topped with a 40-foot pylon sign-tower, the large 100 x 200 foot store is unique in food store design in that it has no windows, is brightly illuminated by the latest-type fluorescent lighting, and is complexly air-conditioned. W. M. Bostock, Los Angeles engineer, perfected the plans for the building, and Geo. H. Whyte was awarded the contract to construct the building. The building is bordered by a parking lot with off-street parking space for more than 150 cars at one time. The lot is completely paved and marked off to provide ample space for car doors to be opened without touching the cars on either side. The parking lot provides room for approximately 10 times more cars than the average small Safeway stores have had in the past. Features of the new store include eight high-speed check-out stands, a large self-service meat section, refrigerated produce stands backed by mirrors, and an extensive array of open-top, self service freezer and cooler cases displaying dairy products, and frozen foods. Almost the entire main floor is devoted to sales area. The storage and work room areas are in well-lighted, air conditioned par NOTES The Elementary School board met last night for the transaction of regular business. Minutes were read of the special meeting called for April 11, at which time M. A. Gauer was presented with a new contract, which met with unanimous approval of the board and was accepted by Gauer. The new contract will make him business manager of the elementary school district at a yearly salary of $7000. May 2, another meeting was held at which time Mr. Wilbert Bouney, principal of Fremont school for the past 18 years, was informed he will be given another position as principal of some other school, on the basis that the school board believes it is to every one's best interests that the position entails a needed change. Mrs. Mary Fitz, elementary supervisor, was relieved of her position at the same meeting due to reassignment of administrative and supervisory personnel, and will be assigned to teaching duties. A report of daily attendance of the district schools shows an increase of two pupils this month over last month. Mrs. Barbara Smith turned in her resignation after two years of teaching 2nd grade at George Washington with an explanation that she was going to join her husband, Major Smith, who has been employed by USC to instruct ROTC. Protestant representative of the local Ministerial Union, Rev. H. F. Stied, pastor of the Grace Lutheran church, sent a letter to the school board requesting they support the Released Time program for non-sectarian religious training, during the 1951-52 school year as they have done in the past. This affects grades 4 to 8, with an hour a week set aside for those pupils who wish to attend the special classes. During the past year 80 per cent of the pupils in the 4, 5, and 6 grades have attended. The White Temple Methodist and Presbyterian churches withdrew from the program for the next year. The school board decided to draft a letter to be sent to the Reverend Stief, assuring their Tuesday evening in the library of Anaheim high school. Avon Carlson is the instructor of the Standard course offered. He urges Anaheimers to avail themselves of this opportunity to enroll in this new course. Meetings will be each Tuesday evening in the library from 7:30—9 p.m. Instruction is free with the Standard Red Cross first aid book available to interested purchasers at a reasonable cost. The attendance at Tuesday's meeting was small and it is hoped by next week more will enroll Instructor Carlson believes many people are under the impression that first aid knowledge is chiefly for the civilian defense effort right now. He wishes to stress the importance first aid can be to anyone in their personal living at any time as many serious accidents occur at home or on vacation trips. A film has been secured for showing at next Tuesday evening's meeting. TO BUY TRANSFORMERS City Administrator Keith Murdoch was given authority last night to purchase three electrical transformers for the Daystrom Furniture Co., plant now under construction in southeast Anaheim. The transformers, which have been used, were put on sale by the City of Azusa and, according to Murdoch, are as useable as new ones, and can be purchased at a considerable saving to the city. He was instructed to obtain them at the lowest possible price. that a five member school board will not change it into a city board of education, such as Santa Ana has. It will maintain the rights and perogatives of a city board but will not be under the jurisdiction of the City of Anaheim. A tentative budget, including teachers salary, submitted by M. A. Gauer for the teacher's committee, shows an expenditure of $422,550 without capital outlay of any kind. The present salary schedule, with a minimum of $3000 and automatic increases on the present schedule with a $250 Features of the new store include eight high-speed check-out stands, a large self-service meat section, refrigerated produce stands backed by mirrors, and an extensive array of open-top, self-service freezer and cooler cases displaying dairy products, and frozen foods. Almost the entire main floor is devoted to sales area. The storage and work room areas are in well-lighted, air conditioned partitions at the rear of the store. A sound-absorbent ceiling, asphalt tile floors and Marlite tile-like walls give the entire store an outstanding appearance of spaciousness and cleanliness. Many attractive specials are being offered during the gay festivities of the gala three-day grand opening celebration. Course of discussion turned to expected repercussions of a five man school board. H. H. Stabbert made it clear that the two added members will have no effect on the present system of program planning. Anaheim is classified as a Class 6 city which means with an hour a week set aside for those pupils who wish to attend the special classes. During the past year 80 per cent of the pupils in the 4, 5, and 6 grades have attended. The White Temple Methodist and Presbyterian churches withdrew from the program for the next year. The school board decided to draft a letter to be sent to the Reverend Stief, assuring their unanimous approval of the continuance of the program. Plan 2 includes a budget of $434,400, with the present salary schedule and $3000 minimum, adding $250 above what the teachers are getting at present. A $3000 minimum with a $443,-700 budget is the salary schedule requested by the teachers. These salary schedules are tentative and figured without taking into consideration any capital outlay or without the added cost of added teachers to the present system. Total budget for 1949-50 was $414,957, which included teachers salaries and capital outlay. Since that time there has been an addition of 240 students to the school system, which requires eight new teachers. The board has decided to adjust the salaries according to budget allowance of the state legislature. Bill AB 1985 may provide $249,356 based on current ADA, average daily attendance of 2050, provided on student foundation program of $185 with a basic support of $100 per pupil as compared with $148 per pupil foundation program at $90 per pupil basic support based on present ADA. This would be an increase from $37,432 up to as much as $73,315 over $176,041 received this year. Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN E. NEUBAUER Be not afraid of sudden fear.—Prov. 3:25. CALIFORNIANA — General Jose Figueroa was appointed governor of California by President Carlos Maria Buellamento. Figueroa arrived at Monterey from Acapulco, January 14, 1833. ROUNDUP — Harry Easton, Placentia's first mayor, is now living at Three Arch Bay, Laguna ... Jerry Lowry, son of Fullerton's ad interim postmaster, Frank Lowry, is a sub carrier at Buena Park. He was Placentia's rural route carrier until Thomas Q'Hanlon earned the job. Earned is the right word, because the kid did it the hard way. He had to fight his way through a lot of political red tape to get it even though he qualified by all civil service regulations ... Dan O'Hanlon, the unsuccessful candidate for the assembly seat at last election, can verify that one ... Sam Kraemer is the picture of health. He quit smoking ... The Rev. Chester Padgett, pastor of the Placentia Calvary church, saw the need of a "Handbook of Christian Truth" so he did something about it. He wrote it and State Vets May Get Bigger Loans SACRAMENTO UP—A bill that would give California's veterans bigger state loans on more expensive houses today cleared the state Senate Military and Veterans Affairs committee. The measure, already approved in principle by the Assembly, raises (1) the maximum loan the state will back from $7500 to $8500 and (2) the maximum assessed value of homes on which loans will be made from $10,000 to $11,500. Backers said the revised levels would be more "realistic" in helping ex-servicemen to buy homes. Civic Progress (Continued from Page 1) ren Ashleigh, chairman of the Land Use committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Chairman of the day will be Harry E. Blake, president, Southern California Planning Congress. Registration begins at 9:45. After a word of welcome by Mayor Pearson, panel discussion groups will consider defense production and planning, dispersal of industry in defense areas, placing of defense industries, and economic and social impact of industrial expansion. After luncheon, panels will discuss living in defense areas. Later in the afternoon, panels will discuss the role of planning commissions in civil defense to be followed by the community planning banquet at 7:00. Water Voters Scan Ballots More than 33,000 voters of the newly-formed Orange county Municipal Water district today were scanning sample ballots mailed to them by County Clerk H. J. Smith for their choice of district directors at the special election set for May 22. Of the 33,640 registered voters of the district, only 7464 will find a contest offered. They are the voters in Division 3, which extends along the northerly side of the county, from Buena Park and La Habra to Yorba Linda. Clem McCulloch of Placentia, president of Associated Farmers of California and Charles A. Newsom, La Habra city councilman, are candidates to represent that division on the district's board. In the other four divisions, water leaders and civic officials agreed on single candidates, who will be unopposed for election, except for possible write-ins. Division 1 will name Roy Rogers of Seal Beach; Division 2 will elect Gerald Price of Midway City. Division 4's candidate is Mayor Glenn P. Allen of Orange, and Division 5, will be represented by W.

TREND—Little Ol' Harry ain't going to do no good in 1952. The movie patrons are hissing his newsreel appearances in local theatres. Remember, that's the treatment Herbert Hoover got when Franklin D. Roosevelt stepped into the picture 20 years ago. PEOPLE—Congratulations go to Donald Martin now serving with the 40th in Japan. He's been made a warrant officer. Good going! ... Beverley Mof Curtis, Frank Wick and Helen Robinson met in Anaheim the other day. It wasn't a formal meeting. Their cars crashed... Ralph McLean has so much work that he had to resign his post as Beaer's city engineer. That reminds one that John Shanks, after 25 years, is resigning his post as La Habra city engineer. The council asked him to reconsider. He will until they get a man to replace him. Shirley Schmitz and Ann Fablan are a couple of plucky Anaheim lassies who are to be congratulated for their fine Girl Scout work. CURIOSA — Wonder why the Board of Supervisors has to take the obvious under advisement? Signals are needed at Placentia and 101° Highway. Supervisor Ralph McFadden bets his life every time he drives onto Manslaughter. And so does everyone else. SPORTNOTES — Anaheim's major league, Bobby Adams, is really blasting the ball this sea- SPORTNOTES — Anaheim's major league, Bobby Adams, is really blasting the ball this season.
