JUST RIGHT for a bunch of kids who want to cool off and swim but don't want to hike down to City park to do it, that's the home swimming pool in the back yard of the Corwin Roquet home at 183 Evelyn dr. Shown getting in for an early swim today are Nancy Roquet, left; Patty and Kit Truax, neighbors of the Roquets. Mrs. Roquet looks on from background. Evelvn Drive Kids Learn to Swim, Keep Cool In Corwin Roquet’s Neighborhood Project Pool By JOAN S.

WHITE There is a sparkling little gem of a swimming pool nestled in a corner of the Roquet’s city-size lot 183 Evelyn drive. With the help of good neighbors who use it constantly, the pool was built for a song and dance and since its completion three years ago, has been the most popular gathering place on the block. Brain Child This diminutive swimming pool which is 20 feet long, 11 feet wide and five feet deep at the deepest is the brain child of its owner, Corwin Roquet. He suited its design to the available space in the backward chosing a spot that could be enclosed for safety and also be out of the way of other activities. Friends and neighbors, hearing of the project, manned pick and shovel until lame backs and blistered hands made professional help imperative. Once the oblong hole was dug in graduated depth, the swimming pool was made with reinforced cement, six inches thick, overlapping at corner seams to prevent leakage. When thoroughly dry, it was given a coat of waterproof paint in a bright aqua shade, a process that is repeated several times in the course of a summer. The pool is filled by means of an ordinary garden hose, neighbors often stretching extra hoses from home outlets to hasten the job. Chlorine is added every second day. Roquet has rigged up a vacuum pump which he runs along the bottom of the pool. This picks up silt and debris on the same way a home vacuum cleans the living room rug. Roquet has made a practice of draining the pool over two weeks. This is necessary of course, but he finds himself very unpopular with the small fry while the pool is out of use. Four outlets are spaced about the yard so that the water can be used on lawn and flowers. This is an economy which keeps the monthly water bill within bounds. The system also keeps the extra load off city sewer lines. Roquet judges their water bill to be only about one third higher than it would be without the pool. No Accidents Every precaution is taken to prevent accidents and there have been none to date. A “boy-proof” fence completely surrounds the pool, and no child is permitted to swim unless accompanied by a parent. Five-year-old Nancy Roquet has learned to swim very well as have a score of other children, something they probably would not have done had this particular pool not been available for their use. Although the pool is small by public school standards, it allows plenty of room for water sport. There is a contest on now to see who can swim the most hans underwater. Neighbor Al Koch is leading with five. Never Lack Company “We never lack company,” says Mrs. Roquet as she rests a minute on the patio which overlooks the pool. “Saturday and Sunday is our busiest time. We haven’t been to the beach once this year. Why face the traffic and crowds when we have so much to occupy us right here at home?” To make entertaining easy, it is all done out of doors on the colorful patio with its redwood table and thickly cushioned chair set on a cement floor. Shade is provided by a wide overhanging awning which Roquet ingeniously contrived to swing from the house without the need for inconvenient supports to keep it in place. A portable barbecue cooks up meals for hungry bathers. A giant fly trap is concealed by lush border foliage keeps the area free from winged pests. A five-foot solid board fence encloses the yard for complete privacy. All in all, a surprising amount of very satisfactory outdoor living goes on within the confines of the Roquet pie-shaped city lot which measures 62 feet across the front and 110 feet across the back. A room ranch-type house cuts quite a slice from the pile. Roquet who is a foreman at the M.C.P. plant, considers the pool the best investment he ever made. “You just can’t boat swimming on a warm night under a full moon,” says he. “And if worst comes to worst, we can always put a roof on the pool and use it for a bomb shelter.” Schedule for School Cannery Fullerton’s school - community cannery will be open for the canning of fruit on Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 8:30 a.m.; tomatoes on Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 5:30 p.m.; string beans on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 8:30 a.m.; fruit on Thursday, Aug. 28 at 5:30 p.m., string beans on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 1:30 p.m.; fruit on Wednesday, Sept. 3 at 5:30 p.m., and tomatoes on Thursday, Sept. 4 at 8:30 a.m., according to Miss Esther Pierce, instructor.

Home-Makers' Forum By JOAN S. WHITE Gasette Home Economist Upholstery Class Registration Open Registration for the upholstery classes at Fullerton evening junior college will be open at 1 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 25, according to Walter J. Pray, principal. Upholstery registration is opened in advance of the other courses in order to take care of the many people who are desirous of entering these classes. Only those who have not previously enrolled in upholstery at the college will be eligible for immediate entry. When the classes are filled waiting lists will be established for the others. It is planned to offer three sections of upholstery classes, one from 1 to 4 p.m. and one from 7 to 10 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, and one from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Actual class work will not start until the week of Sept. 15 due to the difficulty in obtaining an instructor.

PRICES RIGHT PHONE ANAHEIM 6292 A sure sign that summer is on the wane is the close of the Tuesday afternoon story hours at the junior library. When school starts the story hour will be continued on Saturdays. The junior library has enjoyed a very busy summer season with well over two hundred participants in the "Anglers' club," a reading group composed of Anaheim's youngest set. Library Closed Both junior and senior branches of the Anaheim library are now closed to give the staff a vacation. This general closing was tried last year for the first time and worked out so well for all concerned that the plan is being followed again. The vacation period will last from Aug. 18 until Sept. 2. Librarian Margaret Bradley is vacating at the South Laguna home of her brother, Arthur Bradley, at Three Arch bay. She is planning an overnight excursion to Catalina island with her niece, Susan Bradley. Phoenix, Ariz., is the destination of Mrs. Keith Johnson and family. They will spend the vacation at Mrs. Johnson's brother's ranch outside the city. Miss Emma Wisser, a native daughter, by the way, has moved from her 150 S. Lemon st. address to a new home at 537 Grove ave. Her vacation will be spent in setting the house in order and working on lawn and garden. New Books There are "how-to-do-it" books on every phase of home-making, some of which pay rich dividends for the person who takes time to explore their pages. "Home Haircutting Made Easy" is one of these. A clear, simple text illustrated with full page step by step pictures presents the rudiments of barbering that can be effectively applied to youngsters who always seem to be in need of a haircut. "Entertaining Singlehanded" by Elinor Parker, to be published Sept. 22, is a wonderful source of ideas for the person who lives alone and wants to entertain successfully and easily. Basically "Entertaining Singlehanded" explains how to make the simplest dishes taste best and lets the chef in on all the secret shortcuts bound to impress guests. To avoid pitfalls, Miss Parker suggests menus, tells how to shop, shows how you may spend more time with guests and less time in the kitchen. Special attention is given here to the problems confronting the hostess with a small apartment and a smaller kitchenette; the person who wants to entertain graciously on a restricted budget the business woman whose time for housekeeping and cooking is virtually nil. The Last Word And speaking of reading, the latest issue of the Time magazine comes up with this gem: "A woman should go out of doors only thrice—to go to her husband's house, to the funeral of her parents and finally, to her own funeral." The magazine is quoting the words of a 12th century philosopher on whose advice uncounted numbers of women in the back countries of the Moslem world still conduct their lives. Furthermore their men heed the advice of Omar the First who in about 600 A.D. advised, "Consult woman, and then do the contrary of what they advise." American Legion Auxiliary Meets The American Legion Auxiliary met last night for the first meeting of the new year, conducted by the newly elected officers. Evelyn Schawrting, president, and Elvamae Jones who were delegates to the department convention in Fresno Aug. 3-6 gave their report, Elizabeth Neuman reported on the last County Council meeting which was held at Seal Beach and to which she was a delegate, and Mable Masterson, chairman, gave the budget report. Mrs. Boyd, publicity chairman reports a very good attendance for the first meeting, and plans were made for the rummage sale to be held this fall. Anniversary Party In Inglewood Married just a year ago in the Shatto chapel of the First Congregational church in Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Marquis yesterday observed their first wedding anniversary. They were dinner guests of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Marquis and Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Anderson at the B. T. Marquis home in Inglewood. Tom, who is our new Gazette sports editor, says he now knows that the first anniversary is "paper" inasmuch as they received quite a lot of it.

Cerritos, is Social and Club Activities Pat Terrebonne— Humor Can Replace Traditional Of Candy, Card Magnate Tells Y By DOROTHY ROE Associated Press Women's Editor Thrift note to young lovers: A 15-cent greeting card with just the right touch of sophisticated humor can be more effective than a $5 box of candy. Working on this principle, Rosalind Welcher, who looks like a hockey-playing teenager but wields a brush with the smooth sophistication of a Dalit, has built up a business which sells seven million cards a year, plus an impressive amount of note paper and napkins. Her cards, with their whimsical stylized animal sketches and their strictly New Yorker-type jackpot of customers who never used to send greeting cars, but now have become rabid Welcher fans. A California Scrooge writes that his discovery of the Welcher Christmas cards has restored his joy in Christmas, and a college girl in Ohio writes that a series of Welcher "love" cards won her heart and hand for the man of her dreams whom she loves dearly because of his wonderful sense of humor. Rosalind and her husband, Fred Slavic, a former machinery designer, have formed their own company, called Panda Prints, Inc., to print and distribute the cards. They got the idea of making greeting cards shortly after their marriage, thinking it was something they could do wherever they happened to be, and that this would give them an one- Top Cool Project Pool thickly cushioned chairs cement floor.

Attractive arrangement of the famed Amling roses at the Orange County Fair goes to the clever artist, Mrs. Beatrice Dudley of Starr st., Stanton. The long stemmed "Better Times," red Amling rose took first prize; Amling yellow "Gloria" and Carol Amling pink, second place and an arrangement of shorter red "Better Times" Amling, came in third. The Muraoka Fuschia Gardens at 10622 Court st., won second place in their classification at the Orange County Fair. This is a definite achievement due to the established fact that fuschia raised as far inland as Stantor were in their prime two months ago and are smaller at this time of year. Recently returned from a conference in Kansas City; the Reverend William D. Howard addressed the Cypress Kiwanis at Lloyd's Drive-In last week.

PROVIDENCE, R.I.(P)—Mrs. Jo Farmer's living room had a jungle motif she didn't plan on when she returned home yesterday from a month on Cape Cod. The huge kudzu vine which almost covers her home found its way through a slit near a window and grew into the living room. She found long tentacles entwining picture frames, the piano and other pieces of furniture. When she planted the vine 25 years ago she was told it would grow a foot a day.

Iranians in New Attacks on U.S. Army Personnel TEHRAN, Iran (AP)—In a renewal of assaults on U.S. military personnel, six Americans including two lieutenant colonels, were attacked today by Red-inspired Iranians as the Americans drove through Tehran's streets. One of them—Master Sgt. Paul Goodwin of the U.S. Embassy staff was struck on the arm by a cabbage. Army officials said he was the only American hit. An official U.S. Army Mission report said the first attack occurred when Lt. Col. William B. Stelvenmuller left the offices of the U.S. Information Service to go to the Iranian War Ministry. When his car paused in traffic a large rock crashed through the rear window. Ten minutes later a sedan carrying Lt. Col. Ben Legare and Mal Milan Elott was hit by two bricks near Istanbul street where an American sergeant was stoned yesterday. At about the same time, Sgt. Goodwin, driving along Stalin street near the Soviet Embassy, was struck by the cabbage. The final incident occurred when Master Sgt. Maxle Page and Pvt. Stephen I. Langlie, riding in an Army truck, were stoned by three persons standing on Stalin street.
