THEODORE B. KUCHEL MAX BESLER LEONARD KREIDT NEIL STANLEY G. E. NELLEN RALPH ROULAND DON YOUNG Publisher City Editor Advertising Manager Classified Advertising Manager Circulation Manager Two new junior highs... Discussions are beginning to get under way in Anaheim concerning the proposal to place junior high school students under the senior high school board of trustees, create two junior highs in the Anaheim area, and relieve the high school of its present ninth grade. The motivating idea is to help the high school take care of increasing enrollments by putting the ninth graders in junior high schools. To do so, requires the high school district build a new junior high school plant and acquire the present Fremont school in Anaheim. The plan involves money—tax money. And, that may make it a subject of discussion. Everybody certainly agrees that plans for school expansions have to be made and brought to reality before students pile up in front of the school house. Within the Anaheim Union High school district the “bulge” of students is in the second, third, and fourth grades. These students will be in the 7th, 8th and 9th pay out $750,000 in the city and, perhaps, another half million for a junior high school plant near Cypress. But, it must be remembered that the school areas benefiting from the new school are all within the marketing area of Anaheim, many of them are friends and boosters of Anaheim—and we want to keep them that way. Too, the money paid for Fremont could be used by the Elementary School board for improving school facilities within the city of Anaheim—thus putting to use the $750,000 which went into the Barbara Britton In New Television By TOUCH HOLLYWOOD — The beauty and talented Barbara Britton cently was approached by J. Loveton package owner of radio series, “Mr. and Mrs. Norris with idea of her doing the TV vision. After a short script rewriting, the new series intrigued blond actress so much, that a ten-year contract resulted, called for the usual options, of course and the female lead in the program which should make debut in the near future. Co-starring with Barbara Britton filmed series is Richard Dennie who at one time played the role lead with Lucille Ball on the radio show “My Favorite Husband.” I think television is about five times the hassel and more work than motion pictures,” Barbara told me. “However, she continued, “I think this program will be one of the most smoothly done shows on television, because of the production methods used by experts in producing the series.” “It’s so much wiser,” she said “to work with people who have been doing motion pictures years, for they have the knowledge of filmed shows, best technicians and staff, and produce the best for televisions.” Barbara signed a contract with Universal-International late month for a western picture known under the working title “The Riding Kid,” however, will not portray a gun-totin’ herridin’ “Annie Oakley.” Inst Everybody certainly agrees that plans for school expansions have to be made and brought to reality before students pile up in front of the school house. Within the Anaheim Union High school district the "bulge" of students is in the second, third, and fourth grades. These students will be in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades in 1957. They now total 1836 pupils, of which 822 are in Anaheim schools. The remainder are in grade schools at Katella, Loara, Centralia, Cypress, Laurel, Magnolia and Savanna. Enrollment in the local senior high school, including the ninth grade, is now 1275. School board officials are of the opinion that it cannot go much beyond that without giving a little at the seams. But, that is one of the bones of contention. Could the high school build a few relatively inexpensive classrooms onto an already extensive layout of grounds, gymnasium, shops, power plant, etc., and take care of more students? A SET OF junior high schools might require the voters to bond as high as $2,300,000. Of this, Anaheim would pay 52 per cent. The present Fremont junior high possibly could be transferred to the high school district for $750,000. That would mean that Anaheim would have practically the same junior high facilities, but would ing from the new school are all within the marketing area of Anaheim, many of them are friends and boosters of Anaheim—and we want to keep them that way. Too, the money paid for Fremont could be used by the Elementary School board for improving school facilities within the city of Anaheim—thus putting to use the $750,000 which went into the transfer of Fremont to the high school administration. SO, THERE IS the situation. Both the Elementary School board and the Anaheim Union High School Board of Trustees are vitally interested in the outcome of the proposal—and both boards, of course, want to give Anaheim children the highest level of education. Both of the boards are composed of intelligent, mature, representative people, who probably pay above the average in property taxes. The public discussions, so far, have weighed educational factors against tax and money factors. The vote on the question will hinge around: can we have good education within the limits of our present school plants, or should we go the limit in taxation to build—for the future? It may, or may not, be a tough question to decide. We can only hope for full information which will lead to useful discussion among our citizens—and a popular solution. Friday night gathering... Tomorrow night inaugurates the evening-opening of the retail stores of Anaheim merchants. Stores will be open until 9:00 p.m. For many years, throughout the length and breadth of the nation, Saturday night was the occasion for everybody — from far and near—to "go downtown." Because of limited transportation, farmers could only make it to town once a week to stock up for the following week. And, farm duties just never seemed to end In the past decade, however, new equipment and methods have lightened the burden of farm work; the automobile can move dutifully families into town quickly any day of the week; and Saturday and Sunday are rapidly becoming days of leisure from many, many families. Consequently, it is only natural for Anaheim merchants to stay open on Friday. Most shoppers can make it on Friday as well as Saturday—and many of the breadwinners are paid Fri- MORE ABOUT...

Because of limited transportation, farmers could only make it to town once a week to stock up for the following week. And, farm duties just never seemed to end for the week until Saturday evening. Thus, a great Saturday-night-in-town tradition came into being. County Gets Forest Monies SACRAMENTO (CNS)—Thomas H. Kuchel state controller, said today that California has received payment of $2,328,929.97 to cover 25 per cent of the 1950-51 fiscal year receipts from national forests with the state. The opportionment is provided by statute. Kuchel announced the basis on which the money is being apportioned to various counties, stating Orange county will receive $530.39. County auditors are required by law to apportion the money by placing 50 per cent to the credit of unapportioned elementary school funds of the county, and 50 per cent to the credit of the general road fund. In its settlement with California, Kuchel said, the government withheld payment of $16,136, with the request that the sum be assigned to match one third of the appropriation allotment for range improvements within national forests in California. EX-OFFICER GETS SENTENCE ON DOPE CHARGE LOS ANGELES (UP)—Adolph W. Lempia, 46, former Los Angeles policeman who obtained a degree in education at the University of Southern California, has been sentenced to one to five years in prison for having narcotics in his possession. The Superior court revoked his probation yesterday and ordered him to serve the sentence that was imposed in 1950. Lempia, served on the police force 20 years ago. RUNAWAY PICKED UP WILLIAMS, Ariz. (UP)—Four of what police said was a group of 20 runaway West Los Angeles teenagers were picked up here last night. Police Chief Don Massey said the quartet, two boys and two girls, admitted they were runaways. "That's not all. There are 20 of us in this altogether. We decided to pull out," Massey quoted one youth as saying. Police believe the other 16 are returning to California. AS A MEMBER OF THE OLD STATE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE, Massey started a probe of the community speculation of Sen. Elio Thomas of Oklahoma. Sho...

Complete with new poole IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago March, 1877 The good people of Anaheim were thrown into a fever of excitement yesterday afternoon by the appearance of a good sized whale coming up the bay. The fellow had taken advantage of the high tide, probably with the intent of visiting the gentlemanly agent of the Landing, Mr. Hull, to inquire about the election returns or other items of interest to those Kings of the ocean. All the shot guns, pistols and rifles about the place were brought to bear upon the intruder, fifty bullets were discharged at him, but his whale-ship had made up his mind until the next high tide would not and go he did majestically over the ably much provoked a pitable treatment he hated.

Miss Hartung arrived from San Francisco last evening. 50 Years Ago March, 1902 An inspection of the rain record in Mr. Dickel's office shows that not since the week beginning the 16th day of February, 1890, has so much rain fallen as during the present storm beginning Feb. 22 and continuing up to last Sunday morning, March 2. During this period of little more than a week 4.62 inches of rain fell—nearly an inch more than had fallen previously during the entire season. Twelve years ago, the record for a week was from Feb. 16 to a week thereafter, approximately the same. The storm has resulted in great benefit to all sorts of farming. Beets have been greatly benefitted, as well as grain and hay. With the usual March and April rains we ought to have one of the best seasons in the history of the country. Mrs. Charles S. Rogers is visiting friends in town, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung. Judge Richard Egan of San Juan Capistrano spent Sunday evening on town with friends. Mrs. Lloyd Bailey accompanied by her little son and daughter, arrived from Mazatlan on Sunday evening's train. She came on the steamer Curacoa which touched at San Pedro to disembark a number of passengers for Los Angeles, she will remain a few weeks visiting relatives and friends. 25 Years Ago March, 1927 March will be another wet month, Father Ricard, padre of the rain, announced in issuing his monthly sun spot forecast—a disturbance starting from the Gulf of Alaska will send a storm down the coast, reaching Southern California about the fourth instant. On March 9 to 11, rain in Southern California and Arizona. Several times later in the month cloudiness and light rains are indicated. No Fresco... let him lead you to the Freshest Coffee in town!
