Boy Scouts to Get 40 Record 'Buy in Anaheim' Vote Will Be Recorded Tomorrow More than a quarter million "Buy in Anaheim" votes have been added to the rapidly growing campaign totals, according to tabulations listing votes cast through Friday. One of the biggest votes made so far will not appear until tomorrow, however. Duke Ogata, a resident of Cypress, cast 415,000 votes for the Boy Scouts Saturday, following his purchase of a new car from Steffy Buick Agency. Because of the two-day lag in counting votes, Ogata's certificates will not be included in today's count. Friday's voting, however, left Zion Lutheran church in the lead with 433,400 votes. St. Michael's Episcopal church is second with 405,100, and Bethel Baptist church holds third place with 399,100. Tomorrow's tally is expected to do great things for the Boy Scouts' total today of 290,000.

Moves to Speed Service and Emergency Calls Faster answering and completion of "O" operator telephone calls and the establishment of a dialing code, "116," for emergency calls to the fire department, police, sheriff and for an ambulance as the first step in a scheduled service improvement program were assured this week for North Orange county telephone users by R. J. Rossberg, manager of The Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co. He said Westeran Electric installation forces now are working overtime to complete equipment additions and rearrangements at the central office; 217 N. Lemon st., by the end of next week so that telephone users might not experience continued delays on calls during busy calling hours. Introduction of the "116" dialing code for emergency calls will start Friday, Sept. 12, the manager announced, to remedy possible delays for subscribers in reaching emergency agencies. He said that in an emergency the telephone user will merely dial "116" and tell the operator "I want to report a fire," or "I want a policeman," or "I want the sheriff," or "I want an ambulance," whatever the urgent situation may be. The operator then will immediatley connect the caller with the emergency agency desired. Savanna School, To Open Sept. 12 The Savanna school district will begin school on Monday, Sept. 15.

Of the four industries with whom he held discussions last week, Murdock said three seemed good candidates to fit into the local industrial scheme. All are seeking light manufacturing sites, he said, but declined to name any of them. In addition to the industrial feelers, Murdoch reported many inquiries as to tracts for possible housing developments. Most of those inquiring, he said, were interested mainly in sites east of Anaheim-Olive rd. Some acreage in that area has already been annexed to the city and is proposed for housing development. Murdoch said extensive annexations would be necessary if some of the proposed developments materialize. The industrial representatives were interested in sites in Anaheim's northern heavy industrial area, the southeast light manufacturing area and the area west of Anaheim.

Mercy-Killing Trial Remember the New Hampshire mercy killing trial of Feb. 22, 1949, and the way it split the country on whether or not euthanasia is justifiable? One man, Moses Marcoux, will never forget it. Marcoux, a cousin of Al Marcoux, 311 N. Pine st., and safety engineer at Kwikset Locks, Inc., was one of the jurors who sat through the three weeks long trial and held the fate of Dr. Herman Sanders of Manchester, N. H., in their hands. Visiting with the Al Marcoux family and his son in Wilmington, Moses Marcoux reminisced for the benefit of a Gazette reporter last Friday evening. Sanders Innocent "Dr. Herman Sanders was innocent of any crime in spite of the fact that he did inject air into the veins of a suffering cancer victim," Marcoux said. "The jury arrived at that decision because three nurses and another medical doctor had checked the woman before Dr. Sanders injected the air and had found no signs of life." As it developed during the trial, here is the way that incident occurred, according to Marcoux: Dr. Sanders had been beseeded by the woman to end her misery, causing him great mental anguish. When the other doctor and nurses informed him that the woman had died, "something in my mind snapped," according to Sanders, and he rushed into the room and made the air injection. In making their decision to exonerate the doctor, the jury took into consideration the fact that no proof existed to show that the woman was alive when the deed was done, and also the testimony of an eminent New York physician that not enough air had been injected to cause death. Arduous Duty Of the jury duty itself, Marcoux said, "It was the longest three weeks of my life. The mercury stood at 22 degrees below zero, we could communicate with no one, and even our newspapers were torn to rags and tatters because all mention of the Sanders trial was censored from them. It took us 65 minutes to agree on the verdict. "If it had developed that the doctor had performed, a bona-fide 'mercy killing.' I'm afraid we'd have thrown the book at him." Marcoux explained. "We all felt I’m sure, that a mercy-killing is not justifiable." Dr. Sanders is now enjoying a prosperous practice in Manchester and its environs, although he has been barred for life from Catholic hospitals," Marcoux said. He related that the doctor, "a wonderful man," received about $30,000 to defray a portion of the expense of his trial, the fund collected by the people of Innesborough county. May Live Here Marcoux is a native of New Hampshire and is a representative to the state legislature there. He has visited in Anaheim before, during last January's floods, and even then decided that he liked the town and its citizens very well. "In fact," he said, "after being here for a week now, I’ve almost decided to make my home in Anaheim. I do know that I’m going to settle in Southern California, because I sold out completely in New Hampshire before coming here."
