TV to Bring Model Railroading into American Homes Young railroad enthusiasts will enjoy the thrill of having a complete model railway in their own living rooms this fall when "The American Flyer Boys Railroad club" reaches the television screens of the nation. Sponsored by the A. C. Gilbert Co., makers of American flyer electric trains, Erector construction sets and other educational toys, the unique eight-week program takes its audience into a clubroom where five boys operate their own elaborate model railroad, completely landscaped and equipped with the latest in accurately detailed rolling stock and accessories, including electric trains, that "choo-choo" and puff real smoke, stockyards with animated steers that acually board the cattlecars, automatic "talking" stations, and more than ten-scale miles of two rail track. As well as demonstrating their own realistic train layout, each week the club members will have as their guest an official of one of the country's leading railroads to recount his own adventures on the "high-iron." "The American Flyer Boys club" will be seen locally over station KTTV every Friday at 5:45 p.m. starting Oct. 24. Indian Village Float Prepared By Kwiksetters Hammers and saws are ringing out in various parts of Anaheim these days as business firms and organizations swing into building and decorating the 40 floats which will appear in the Anaheim Hallowe'en parade on Oct. 32. The divisions of the parade have these themes: Story Book Tales, Old Hallowee'en, Holidays, Arizona Western, Madri Gras, and Grand Finale. In keeping with the Indian motif of this year's festival, the Arizona western division is expected to be a panorama of the fabulous old west replete with real Indians, outlaws, stage coaches, covered wagons and all the other characters and vehicles of a century ago in Arizona and Southern California. One of the entries in the western division is the Indian village float of Kwikset Locks. The float will feature a huge setting sun at one end and an Indian tee-pee at the other end. Indians engaged in a variety of tasks will ride the float. Kwiksetters who will be seen in the various sections of the Arizona western division of the parade include division captain, Al Marcoux, and Lieutenants Ben Weaver, Frank Goff, Marvin Pietrok and Bud Parker. ARIZONA INDIANS will float of Kwikset Locks, which will be entered in lowe'en parade by organ and manufacturing firm.

Northrop Novice Toastmasters Sit. In on Anaheim Toaster Club Meet A demonstration of the art of Toastmastering was presented last night for the benefit of a new club by Toastmasters Club No. 2 of Anaheim. The new club, which will be composed of Northrop Aircraft employees, sat in as guests at the regular meeting and watched a completely extemporaneous program of speaking. After the invocation by Britt Gray, President Guy Tester announced that all assignments for the eventing were unprepared and called upon Toastmaster Lyle Wallace to act as temporary chairman of the meeting. Chairman Wallace appointed Hank Allan, as Table Topic chairman, and Lewis Boys as toastmaster of the evening. Boys in turn called upon six speakers to provide the program without preparation. Joe Ersek gave a speech enti- Anaheim Gazetteer by JOHN S. NEUBAUER When thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth.—Matt. 6:3. PROGRESS NOTE — Orange county is growing, friends. Years ago we predicted that Los Angeles could grow one way—this way. Los Angeles has pushed its metropolitan area to the ocean and to the mountains and now must push its big city frontier into Orange county. Norwalk, Bellflower, Downey and other once sleepy hamlets have become cities over night. Now, a millionaire's dream is coming true with the development of La Mirada. The McNally Ranch has been sold for a sum of $4,500,000 and will soon blossom into a full-fledged city. It's a big deal which will have considerable influence on Orange county. As the dalrymen were forced to move into Orange county by housing as the Bellflower-Hynes-Clear-water area was transformed, so will Anaheim and its environs be affected. We are witnessing the transition of the citrus empire into a land of homes. Building-permit-valuation figures prove this— City Last month Yr. to date Santa Ana $ 594,379 $8,205,686 Fullerton 1,180,752 6,972,292 Anaheim 612,436 5,885,374 Newport 426,701 5,020,738 Orange 416,179 2,866,716 San Clemente 302,295 2,418,792 La Habra 132,389 1,074,521 These figures tell an interesting story. Your town and my town is growing. Northern Orange county is changing its complexion. MEMO—Boost Anaheim's Hallowe'en festival. Let's make it the biggest and best yet! PERSONALITIES — Herman Schacht really gets around. Every once in a while the even-tempered Chairman Wallace appointed Hank Allan as Table Topic chairman, and Lewis Boys as toastmaster of the evening. Boys in turn called upon six speakers to provide the program without preparation. Joe Ersek gave a speech entitled, "Don't be Gullible"; Page Vincent spoke on "People"; Guy Tester furnished advice and comment on the personal aspect of Toastmastering; Paul Von Kleiben spoke on "The Speech I Will Always Remember"; Bob Allan commented upon "My Friends"; and Walter Knott answered questions informally upon the subject of Knott's Berry Farm. All the speeches were warmly received as good examples by the Northrop group. The new group is being organized from within the Northrop organization, and is of course open to all employees of that company. The meeting was held at Lum's restaurant across from La Palma park. Evaluators for the evening were Louis Taylor, Ray Damerall, Britt Gray, and Bob Haines of Northrop. Timekeeper was Ed Wright. The weekly cup for Best Speech of the Evening was voted to Joe Ersek. Al Marcoux Jr., Back from Alaska And Korean Duty Following a year and seven months in overseas duty, Albert A. Marcoux Jr., chief hospital-man in the Navy, has returned to Anaheim for a furlough. He is staying with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert A. Marcoux, 311 N. Pine st. For a year, Marcoux served in Korean waters aboard the mine sweeper USS Murrelet, which was engaged in both minesweeping and trading punches with shore-based communist artillery. He was then transferred to a small village near Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, where he cared for the medical needs of about 300 natives. and Mrs. R. D.

PERSONALITIES — Hermann Schacht really gets around. Every once in a while the even-tempered Anaheimer nearly blows a fuse when some youngster sounds off with advice ... George Jeffries is out of circulation now that they've made him a line assigner ... Speaking of public utility employees, reminds us that it's getting so that whenever a fellow does two minutes work, he has to spend two hours making out a report how he did it. That's efficiency ... When Archie Ellis and Ray Freeman joined the phone company, a fellow had to be a jack-of-all-trades and a master mechanic t'boot. Nowadays, every man is a specialist ... George Howard knows more about phones than most folks—including Don Ameche ... By the way, ever stop to think how handy a gadget the phone is? Al Koenig must have when his phone went out of commission. They couldn't fix it fast enough to suit him. FREEWAY—While Manchester blvd. is quite an improvement to what it used to be, it really will be something when they get the freeway completed. Motorists will be able to drive without risking their necks getting across it. WARNING—Kids on bikes are dynamite! Just the other day a Buena Park gal, 11, was seriously hurt when knocked from her bicycle as she attempted to cross a busy street. Motorists should exercise due caution, slow down and give the kids more than an even break. NITECAPSULE — Times really haven't changed too much. In the old days men got scalped. Now they lose their hair naturally. For a year, Marcoux served in Korean waters aboard the mine sweeper USS Murrelet, which was engaged in both minesweeping and trading punches with shore-based communist artillery. He was then transferred to a small village near Dutch Harbor in the Aleutian Islands, where he cared for the medical needs of about 300 natives. "I was actually a sort of country doctor," he explains. Last Friday, Marcoux arrived home. When he returns to duty, he plans to take his wife and 18-month old son, Rene, with him to new duties in a clinic at Sitka, Alaska. Mrs. Marcoux and their son have been living with her parents in Long Beach. Young Marcoux has served 11 years in the Navy, one of them under the instruction of his father who is a retired naval chief warrant officer pharmacist. Marcoux Sr. trained his son during the first year he spent in the hospital corps. During World War II, Marcoux Jr., served in the South Pacific from the original landing on Guadalcanal to the invasion of the Philippines. His duties took him aboard a variety of naval vessels, including a destroyer, landing craft and an aircraft carrier. YAMAGATA, Japan (FP)—Emperor Hirohito and Empress Nagako witnessed their first boxing bouts today—and had a somewhat uneasy time. Both appeared relieved when a towel was thrown into the ring by a nervous second whose fighter was being chased around the ring. MORE ABOUT ....
