STEADY AND EVEN is the flow of water going into Anaheim's water system as George Oelkers, director of the Department of Light, Water and Power, adjusts one of the sensitive flow regulators in the waist at North and East sts. Gauges on wall right indicate incoming pressure (175 at the time) and system pressure (60 l Forethought Saves Local Water System from Earthquake Damage Anaheim's municipal water system took a one-two punch from Monday's earthquake but damage is denly stopped. Water flowing into city comes from the Metropolis Water district's feeder line 225 pounds pressure. Under daily load peak, it drops t pounds. This pressure is reed down to 60 pounds Forethought Saves Local Water System from Earthquake Damage Anaheim’s municipal water system took a one-two punch from Monday’s earthquake, but damage of any sort to the installations failed to show itself. Credit for this remarkable (in view of the temblor’s intensity) show of strength and resiliency goes to two items incorporated in the system at the instigation of the department of Light, Water and Power and its director, George Oelkers. For years, just in case, Anaheim’s water mains have been installed with lead joints at intervals to provide resiliency. That the practice has paid off is attested by Monday’s shock and by the 1932 quake, when many cities paid for rigidly constructed lines by having numerous breaks and leaks. Anaheim came through it untouched. Shock Dampened The other safety item is a regulator valve that maintains constant pressure in the lines at all times. This valve dampened a shock wave developed by the earthquake that sent the flow indicator up 800 gallons per minute and then down again immediately to the regular low level. The shock wave amounted to water flowing backward, then forward as liquid in a tank truck would do if the truck were suddenly stopped. Flow through the regulation approximately 1800 gallons per minute normally, but it can be stepped up to 5000 gallons per minute. At present, about 500 gallons per minute flow through the city’s two regulator valves and two pumps. Incidentally, when the regulators were first purchased, worked for a few days, then gged up with matter in the valve with an extremely clearance would not permit foreign matter to flow through with the water. Oelkers worked over the lem and devised a valve with approximately one-sixteenth orifice requiring service once in six months. The valve checked once per week, howsoever as a matter of safety. for a GOOD HAIRCUT or SHAVE See Pete Hernandez at PETE’S BARBER SHOP 206 E.

NEUBAUER And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.—John. 8:32. CONVENTION — A lot of Anaheimers we know aren't very much concerned with the political conventions. The conventions are taking up too much of the Tviewing time. Small fry isn't the least interested as to whom will oppose whom on the November ballot. All this talk and no action is grown-up stuff. It doesn't make sense to a kid growing up. GRAPEVINE — The Gazetteer's political grapevine has it that Gen. Dwight Eisenhower may visit Orange county. Remember Wendell Willke made a lot of back-platform addresses when he ran? He spoke in Fullerton, Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana. Wonder how that prominent Anaheimer feels about his election bet? Harry S. Trueman to be the next president of the United States. Guess his money flew out of the window when the GOP politicians nominated Eisenhower instead of Robert Taft, the White House tenant's favorite friendly enemy. Yorba Linda is looking forward to a visit from Sen. Richard Nix- Bids on New Joint Outfall Sewer line were unexpectedly few and, in some instances, unexpectedly high, when directors of the county sanitation districts opened them last evening. One firm, Healey-Tibbits of San Francisco, bid within the range of engineering cost estimates, its figures on one alternate plan being $1,873,052, whichever engineer it was. "Nobody else could have done what you just did, better go home, I've got other work to do." And you know, the fellow who passed the sobriety test doesn't know to this day that there was an earthquake. NITECAPSULE — Before long the nickel will be as extinct as the buffalo.

This pressure is regulated down to 60 pounds pressure delivery to the consumer. Valve Revamped Now through the regulators is approximately 1800 gallons per minute normally, but it can be used up to 5000 gallons per minute. At present, about 5500 bids per minute flow through city's two regulator vaults two pumps. incidentally, when the regulations were first purchased, they needed for a few days, then plug-up with matter in the water. The trouble was that a needle with an extremely fineance would not permit the matter to flow through the water. Workers worked over the problem and devised a valve with an approximately one-sixteenth inch requiring service perhaps in six months. The valve is used once per week, however, matter of safety.

Guess his money flew out of the window when the GOP politicians nominated Eisenhower instead of Robert Taft, the White House tenant's favorite friendly enemy. Yorba Linda is looking forward to a visit from Sen. Richard Nixon. And it's almost a certainty that he'll visit the "home" folks during his campaign. Incidentally, look for Nixon to speak at the City Park Theater just like Gov. Earl Warren did when he was Thomas Dewey's running mate. TREND—Ask any automobile salesman about economic conditions and he'll tell you quite frankly that there are no cars to sell: "Our factories are shut down because of the (steel) strike." And you know, that affects the pocketbooks on the Anaheim level. ROUNDUP — Ask Clare Stull about the GOP vice-presidential candidate and he'll tell you he went to school with him. Well, then, so did Bob Williams and a lot of other Anaheimers who'll tell you: "He was a smart kid, that one!" ... The recent hellcopter heliport hullabaloo, reminds us that Keith Murdock, Anaheim's able administrator, forgot that a lot of mail from Brea's La Habra's, Buena Park's, and Yorba Linda's new industrial firms are "handled" through the Fullerton postoffice. "Yknow, a postal clerk who knows (but who doesn't want his name mentioned for obvious reasons) explained," "when a big chain outfit like (the one in La Habra) or a big plant like (one of Brea's) sends out air mail special deliveries, it really mounts up. And that's what they do." INDUSTRIES — It seems as if Northern Orange county is really building up industrially.

MISCHool District Of County, California By John P. MARY, JR. Clark of Its Board of Education. INDUSTRIES — It seems as if Northern Orange county is really building up industrially. Most of us in and around Anaheim naturally marvel at Anaheim's industrial growth, but with Earnie Moeller doing such a tremendous job, that's to be expected. Alpha Beta is now firmly established at La Habra where the Standard Oil and the California Research Corp., have their headquarters. In Buena Park, Nutrilite and the Glidden Co. are doing business. In Brea, the Union Oil Research Center and the Kirkhill Rubber Co., have joined Chiksan and Shaffer Tool. These are major industries which have sprung up or expanded considerably since the war. Yes, friend, Anaheim and the whole north end of Orange county is prospering from industrial payrolls. ANAHEIM ANECDOTE — The recent temblor gave a lot of Anaheimers the shakes, but the quake reminds us of that day in 1933 when the epicenter of the quiver was closer to home. The late Jim Bouldin, Anaheim police chief of another day, used to tell how one of Anaheim's finest was putting a slightly inebriated fellow through a test. "Walk that line!" the officer ordered. "Thash eashe," the inebriate responded. "Watch!" As he started to toe the line—it happened. He walked the line. The officer's face got white with fright. The man walked the line unsteadily, perhaps, but he walked it. The officer marveled: "Heck," he said.

Point Outfall Sewer Prove Unexpectedly Meeting of County Sanitation Districts ing $1,873,052, while it bid $1,-889,162 on another alternate, and $2,047,809 on a third alternate. Cost estimates of the design engineers, Harrison and Woolley of Santa Ana, and Headman, Ferguson and Carrolla of Phoenix, ranged from $1,600,000 to $1,900,-000, depending upon type of joint used. Ignore Proposal But the two firms bidding on the 7000-foot marine section of the outfall and the two bids on the 2100-foot land section, all ignored the new-type tubular rubber joint, which the engineers had expected to produce savings of more than $250,000 in costs of the line, and its installation. All bids specified cast iron joints. Macco Construction Co., Paramount, only other bidder on the marine section of the outfall, bid on only one alternate. Its figure being $2,453,728, compared to the Healey-Tibbits bid of $1,873,052 on the same alternate. Divided Bids Healy-Tibbits bid did not bid on the land section. Macco Construction Co. bid $699,655, double the engineering estimate of $350,-000. R. A. Watson and Co. of Hollywood bid $646,570. All bids were referred to Chief Engineer Gen. Mgr. Raymond R. Ribal, the design engineers, and Attorney C. Arthur Nisson for analysis and report back to the directors next Wednesday. A week later, on Aug. 6, the diretcors will decide whether to award contracts. James Scott Gets Sergeant's Rate WITH U.S. FORCES ON OKINAWA. — James Scott, whose wife, Geraldine, lives at 117 S. Turner st., Fullerton, recently was promoted to sergeant while serving on Okinawa, an island rapidly becoming one of the strongest U.S. military outposts in the Far East. Known as the "Gibraltar of the Pacific," the island, part of the Ryukyuus command, is within bomber range of every important target area of eastern Asia. A gunner with Battery D of the 65th anti-aircraft artillery battalion, Scott entered the army in March 1951 and arrived on Okinawa last July. His parents live at 8361 E. Commonwealth, Fullerton.
