Anaheim Gazette TUESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1951 ANAHEIM, CALIF. 'Dick Gay Was Resplendent in the Turtle Neck...' By the Cub Reporter As I was on my way to meeting of the Wild Red Eagle Fan club in La Palma park night, I came across a group local citizens disporting themselves at the park's playgrounds. Everybody seemed to be linging a good time—so I joined it. It was the Anaheim Rotary club family picnic. For an "old man's club" the certainly was a large group kids running around. Bill Bray was doing yeoman (that's a mime time term) duty rounding up children and organizing little tests for them. Dick Gay paid out the prizes, while Arch Bar got right in there and mixed up with the kids. The chow was good too. Dick Gay, who dished up the burger and dogs, was resplendent in turtle neck sweater. He was sisted by Claude Russell on potato salad, Harry Nutt, on tomatoes, Foster Lamm, on ice cream and Mr. Burr, on coffee. Missing from the scene was Boney, local motor man, who said his new and used cars will need pump oil no matter how far he how hard you drive them. Oscar Schultz, who owns a store of ground near the drill site, sped the evening reading excerpts from the Wall Street Journal for several of the businessmen press while Mel Gauer whined. THE VALUE OF TRAINING—A trainer at Florida's Marineland spent two years teaching a young porpoise to do such tricks as towing a surf raft with a passenger and her pup (above). The trainer says it proves the intelligence of species. Poultrymen of Orange County Invited To Learn Business Tricks at Meeting Poultrymen of Orange county have been invited to learn what constitutes a grade AA egg, see black light demonstrated, and preserve their youth through use of mechanized equipment. This triple-barreled possibility was outlined by Elmer Humphry, Buena Park, chairman of the poultry department of the Orange County Farm Bureau. This countywide group of poultrymen meet each month regularly to talk over problems of their profession and to compare notes on improved practices. Their meeting place is the Farm-Bureau office building at 353 S. Main st., Orange, and the regular night is the first Tuesday, at 7:30 p.m. All poultrymen are welcome, states Humphry. Orange county poultrymen are well ahead of the general nationwide average in care of poultry and poultry products, surveys indicate, but there is a constant effort for improvement. There are two egg marketing groups within the county which have been organized as co-operatives through the auspices of Farm Bureau and which have been receiving premium prices on their eggs through strict rules on gathering and cooling the hen-fruit so that they will be super-fresh. Part of the meeting on Sept. 4, will be devoted to the latest egg cooling devices which cool without dehydrating eggs. An electric food cart will also be demonstrated and will provide a means of saving steps and backs, Chairman Humphry indicates. In addition the poultrymen will be instructed on methods of financing their operations. Poultry producers in Orange county added approximately $6,300,000 to the agricultural production of the county last year. In addition about $1,125,000 came from production of turkeys in the county during 1950. Ray Boone, Cleveland Indian shortstop, came up to the big Rochester Royals in the NBA, is league as a catcher.

By the Cub Reporter I was on my way to the club in La Palma park last night, I came across a group of citizens disporting them at the park's picnic grounds. Everybody seemed to be having a good time—so I joined in. As the Anaheim Rotary club's boy picnic, an "old man's club" there only was a large group of running around.

Dick Gay passed the prizes, while Arch Baker right in there and mixed it with the kids. The chow was good too. Mr. who dished up the burgers dogs, was resplendent in a neck sweater. He was as by Claude Russell on the salad, Harry Nutt, on the shoes, Foster Lamm, on the cream and Mr. Burr, on the rising from the scene was Bob Schultz, local motor man, who says new and used cars will never oil no matter how far or hard you drive them.

Progress Made in Much-Disputed Oil Question; Study - New Ordinance Editor's Note: During the next few days The Gazette will attempt to present in these columns a condensed treatment of the oil problem in Anaheim and Gordon Whitnall's proposed oil drilling ordinance to show the nature and complexity of the problem and the direction some of the best planning minds take in attempting to solve it. Whether or not oil drilling becomes a reality in Anaheim, one sure result of the exploratory drilling proposal by Steele Patton exploitation of oil deposits. That is where the situation came to rest and since then all facets of the question of oil drilling and its effect on a modern community have been explored and exposed as far as possible. The next step seems to be consideration of an oil ordinance at the insistence of the City Council. The kernel of the problem is this: How best assure to each property owner the enjoyment of the fruits of ownership, guaranteed to him in the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Earleumns a condensed treatment of the oil problem in Anaheim and Gordon Whitnall's proposed oil drilling ordinance to show the nature and complexity of the problem and the direction some of the best planning minds take in attempting to solve it. Whether or not oil drilling becomes a reality in Anaheim, one sure result of the exploratory drilling proposal by Steele Petroleum Co. will be the formulation and adoption by the city government of an oil drilling ordinance. Strangely enough, the night the Steele drilling permit came before the City Planning commission, Gordon Whitnail, planning consultant, presented the commission with a proposed ordinance for the establishment of "reasonable limitations, safeguards and controls with respect to the future drilling for and production of oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances within the present and future corporate limits of the City of Anaheim." What has passed since then on the subject of an Anaheim oil field is history and has been amply covered in the local press. However, a short recapitulation of the facts may be in order. On July 24 Anaheim city council granted a lease for a drill site to the Steele Co. in the industrial section of Northeast Anaheim. At the following Planning commission meeting, it was voted to by-pass the subject of a drilling permit and recommend a referendum vote by the electorate on the subject: "Shall there be drilling for oil within the city limits of Anaheim or shall there not." The following meeting of the city council showed up three factors in the oil proposition which presaged a good old-fashioned battle: the citizens of Anaheim showed that there was a good bit of opposition to any oil activities of any sort; that they weren't going to accept oil drilling lying down, and that they were woefully misinformed on the subject of modern exploration for and facets of the question of oil drilling and its effect on a modern community have been explored and exposed as far as possible. The next step seems to be consideration of an oil ordinance at the insistence of the City Council. The kernel of the problem is this: How best assure to each property owner the enjoyment of the fruits of ownership, guaranteed to him in the 14th Amendment to the United States constitution, without, at the same time, depriving his neighboring property owners of the health, comfort, safety and general welfare which are taken as rights by all American citizens? Whitnall and his associates tackled the riddle with this guiding thought in mind: "It is recognized that in regulating the surface and subsurface uses of land it is in the public interest that such regulation (of mineral exploitation) be of a character designed to impose the minimum burdens consistent with the maximum enjoyment of each use." Previous to any testing or oil production by any concern, an Oil Production district would have to be established under the proposed ordinance. Requirements of the district would be stipulated in the ordinance, and, in the proposed law the districts would be established by the City Council in which oil activities could be carried on by the person applying for establishment of the district. Minimum limit in size would be 40 acres unless otherwise specified by the planning commission and city council. The person, or company, applying for formation of the district would have to have the proprietary or contracting authority to drill for oil under the surface of at least 51 per cent of the area of the lands in the district before the application could be granted.

Lewis Six California Forest Fires Uncontrolled (By The Associated Press) Six fires blazed out of control California's powder-dry and smoke-palled national forests today. More than 3,500 men, some of them smoke jumpers, parachuted the fires, fought the state's pond fiery ordeal in two weeks. Some of the fires were man-made, boosting the total of blazes ice Aug. 18 to over 630. Most are lightning-set. Biggest of the major fires is a 400-acre blaze on rugged Jim ridge in the Trinity National forest of Northern California. Three men were injured in that fire.

Page Vincent, program chairman, announced that there would Truman Will Fly To San Francisco Monday Morning WASHINGTON (R)—The White House said today President Truman will fly to San Francisco on Monday morning (5:30 a.m., PDT) for the Japanese peace treaty conference. Mr. Truman will address the opening session of the conference at 7 p.m. PDT on Tuesday. Meanwhile, although the United States is pressing for speedy signature of a peace treaty with Japan, there were strong signs today that this country will not ratify the pact until next year. Senator McFarland of Arizona, the Democratic leader in the Senate, told a reporter his majority party forces have no plan now to bring the proposed treaty up for ratification before Congress adjourns, perhaps in October. Meanwhile, some state department officials were reported puzzled by the early arrival of Russia's delegation to the treaty signing conference. A 32-member group of Soviet diplomats, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Andrel Gromyko, reached New York yesterday aboard the Queen Elizabeth—eight days before the opening conference session in San Francisco Sept. 4. American officials speculated that Moscow's delegates may spend their pre-conference time trying to round up support for Russia's expected opposition to Some of the fires were manboosting the total of blazes ice Aug. 18 to over 630.

A round table discussion then followed covering the subject of American freedoms, the right to criticize, and the necessity of avoiding restrictions on liberty. Evaluation was given by Ed. Wright on both the regular speeches and impromptu talks which followed. Page Vincent, program chairman, announced that there would be no meeting on Sept. 3, and that the next regular meeting would be held at Lum's Cafe, Sept. 10, at which time election of officers will be held for the next term. "SELECTIVE" SERVICE NEW YORK (UP)—The Marines needed 15 men when 89 draftees were called up for Army Service in New York the other day. Seven men volunteered. The rest were selected by the sergeant in charge of the group. Rudolph J. Spatarella, 21, an office worker, told how it worked: "The sergeant said: 'One of you guys will have to go into the Marines.' Then he looked at me and said: 'You're it!'" A 32-member group of Soviet diplomats, led by Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, reached New York yesterday aboard the Queen Elizabeth—eight days before the opening conference session in San Francisco Sept. 4. American officials speculated that Moscow's delegates may spend their pre-conference time trying to round up support for Russia's expected opposition to the treaty draft sponsored by the U.S. and Great Britain. Gromyko told reporters yesterday Russia's proposals will be disclosed at the San Francisco meeting. Scowling, he expressed hope any treaty would serve the best interests of those countries which have suffered most from Japan's wartime aggressions. Snapping "no comment" to a flurry of questions, Gromyko strode off the ship. With a wary eye out for possible delaying tactics by the Russian delegation, the U.S., is pushing for signature of the treaty draft by some 40 to 45 nations by Sept. 9.
