County Employees Trumpet Merits . Of Non-Partisan County Government Will rapid population growth of California, bringing thousands of new residents from eastern and midwest states where the party spoils system of government extends even into city and county government, upset the nonpartisan system of county government in California? That question is said to be related in some degree to the project of the Orange County Employees association called "Know Your County Government," which will be presented on Demonstration Day, May 17. County employees want the public to know what nonpartisan county government is like. The impact upon California's nonpartisan county government which might be made by accumulating pressure of new citizens from states where the spoils system still exists, cannot be disregarded, some observers here contend. People used to the party spoils system might want to transplant it here, it was suggested, unless they see the nonpartisan type is better. The possibility and its attendant danger to the integrity of California county government is one of the important motivations behind D-Day plans of the county employees, who will devote their usual Saturday y holiday to exhibiting, demonstrating and explaining county government to the people of the county. "County employees," said one official of the association, "are just like employees in private industry—they like to work for a good firm or organization. County employees believe that county government can be good only if its stockholders, the taxpayers, and the public generally, are well-informed regarding it." "Orange county employees," he added, "take pride in their work and the service government gives. They have ways of comparing their government with that of other counties and they are convinced that..." NOSTALGIC YESTERYEAR — A year ago today the news budget included a story about New York's ex-mayor O'Dwyer. He was charged by a Senate group as aiding gangsters. The Chinese lost May Day fight to take back Seoul and pulled their troops back. News of the death of Lotus H. London, 60, Anaheim publisher and civic leader, shocked the hometown. Sgt. Edward P. Gilbert, 26, was killed and John Carlisle, 22, also a Marine, was injured in an accident near Tustin. Paul Alexander, 38, drowned when a small boat he tried to salvage capsized. The Zion Lutheran Ladies Aid celebrated its 40th anniversary. It was founded by Rev. H. G. Schmeltzer, May 4, 1911. Mrs. Elizabeth Groos, Mrs. Otillie Henning, Mrs. Adolph Martens, charter members, still reside in Anaheim. Frank Fregoso, 45, was knocked down by a car backing from a parking space. Mrs. Sara D. Hastings was the driver. A rash of mischief broke out as Anaheim youngsters literally raised cain. That's what happened a year ago. Remember? ANAHEIM NEEDS — Now that a special census shows Anaheim to be a city of 17,087, it becomes all the more apparent that adequate hospital facilities are needed. Special Census Supervisor E. B. Lewis' figures indicate that Anaheim added 2563 people in two short years. Anaheim will be a city of more than 20,000 in two years. Anaheim is just beginning to grow—population-wise. LINES-O-TYPE — Alvin Rogers, the motorcycle officer, cuts a handsome figure, but hardly as glamorous as Cap Anrdada who was really one of Anaheim's finest riding that steered in the good old days. Ernest Crane, the ambulance man, is taking time out from his errands of mercy by helping to promote the Fullerton Lion's Club's Community Fair this week. Kenny Foster doesn't know where he'll go to open the trout season. He hasn't good firm or organization. County employees believe that county government can be good only if its stockholders, the taxpayers, and the public generally, are well-informed regarding it. "Orange county employees," he added, "take pride in their work and the service government gives. They have ways of comparing their government with that of other counties and they are convinced that no other county has higher standards. "They believe that the party spoils system would destroy the integrity of county government and lower its standards, by periodic political upsets that would bring new and untrained employees into government. That feeling has been a determining factor in the decision to present the 'Know Your County Government' project to the people on May 17." Cpl. Phillip Yorba On Rotation to U.S. WITH THE 25TH INFANTRY DIV. IN KOREA—Cpl. Phillip J. Yorba, Jr., of Route 3, Box 21062, Anaheim, recently left the 25th Infantry Division on the Korean front for rotation to the United States. A veteran unit of the Korean war, the 25th was one of the first to see combat. It recently has been engaged in patrol action near the 38th parallel. Yorba, who entered the Army in December 1950, arrived in Korea in July and served as a motor sergeant in Medical Company of the 35th Infantry Regiment. He was awarded the Combat Medical Badge. Red-UN Korean Losses Compared UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (P)—Twenty-two months of war in Korea have cost the United Nations forces an estimated 419,456 casualties and the communists 1,666,069, a summary of available reports showed today. The U.N. figures came from member delegations and semi-official sources polled periodically. handsome figure, but hardly as glamorous as Cap Anrdada who was really one of Anaheim's finest riding that steed in the good olde days. Ernest Crane, the ambulance man, is taking time out from his errands of mercy by helping to promote the Fullerton Lion's Club's Community Fair this week. Kenny Foster doesn't know where he'll go to open the trout season. He hasn't been doing so well on his recent surf-fishing expeditions. Incidentally, Jo Ann Burdick was runner up in the Fullerton Fair Queen contest. She was second to Ann Harrington, daughter of Frank Harrington who with C. Gilmore Ward runs one of the largest lumber concerns in the county. The Mayor of Orange-thorpe, Max Royer, has a "For Sale" sign staked out in front of his home place. RELIEF—A lot of well known Anahebners are happy with the decision made by Federal Judge David Ploe over ruling President Harry Truman's seizure of the steel mills, but they wouldn't want to be quoted on it. OIL STRIKE — Long before there was a CIO, there was an oil workers' strike in California. In the 1920's some sharpie organized an oil workers' union. To show his power a strike was called. It fizzled. And the union heads went south with the membership dues. The fields in and around Brea were to be tied up. The sheriff deputized everyone and his brother to prevent damage to the company property. Old time oilworkers will recall the electrifying spine-tingling atmosphere that accompanied the strike. The winter. Red-UN Korean Losses Compared UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (UP)—Twenty-two months of war in Korea have cost the United Nations forces an estimated 419,456 casualties and the communists 1,666,069, a summary of available reports showed today. The U.N. figures came from member delegations and semi-official sources polled periodically. The Chinese and North Korean toll is estimated bi-weekly by the U.S. Army. On the U.N. side the biggest loser has been the Republic of (South) Korea. Sources there put the total casualties, up to early this year, at 301,864—20,494 dead, 101,097 wounded, 105,672 missing and 65,601 prisoners of war. The U.S. figure announced last week was 107,666, including 16,898 dead. German shepherds, Doberman Pinschers and Boxers are examples of the so-called "working" dogs as opposed to the hunter type or mere pets. oilworkers were the victims of their "bosses" in that one because the oil companies discovered they could shut down an oil well without having it sand up. Prior to that time, wells were kept going on around-the-clock schedule for fear of losing them. After that, wells were pumped just long enough to make their production. NITECAPSULE — Really, now, a lot of trees are very feminine; they get a new outfit each spring and live off of the sap during the winter.
