TRAGEDY IMMINENT—Pedestrians have the legal right-of-way in crosswalks, but that doesn't help a dead person. The wrong way to cross a street (depicted above) can lead to trouble. Right will not always umph over might. Pedestrians must always be on the alert. Recent Accidents Involving Pedestrians In Anaheim Point up Rules for Walking By JOAN S. WHITE Out of the darkness, a terrifying shriek of brakes an unmusic required by law to yield the right of way is bringing this high casualty rate upon himself. As the nation currently observes crime prevention week the heim police department lists Recent Accidents Involving Pedestrians In Anaheim Point up Rules for Walking By JOAN S. WHITE Out of the darkness, a terrifying shriek of brakes an unmistakable dull thud of solid metal hitting soft flesh, the wall of a shrill scream. Then silence. The long minute of silence that follows sudden tragedy on the highway. Another pedestrian lies at one of Anaheim's corner bloodings and still, taking small comfort from the fact that he had the right of way. Who or what is responsible for Anaheim's all too common accidents involving pedestrians? What are your chances of becoming one of the next victims? Unless you exercise more caution than the average pedestrian who uses Anaheim's well marked crosswalks or crosses Anaheim streets at unmarked intersections, your chances of becoming a casualty are very good. Herefore the blame has been laid purely and simply to the speeding motorist. Intensive police investigations have revealed that the pedestrian, lulled by a false sense of security, grown complacent in the knowledge that the auto is required by law to yield the right of way is bringing this high casualty rate upon himself. LOOK AND LISTEN With more traffic on our streets every day, the pedestrian's bywords must be "stop, look, and listen" as never before. Police Chief Mark Stephenson raised this pertinent question. "Why is it that jaywalkers are not the ones who are hit?" The Anaheim police department reasons this way: Jaywalkers know they are in the wrong and keep a wary eye out for oncoming automobiles. Pedestrians in the crosswalks, knowing they have the right of way, grow careless and are not on the alert for possible danger to themselves. Additional Room For Municipal Court Proposed Proposal by Police Chief Ernie Garner of Fullerton that a security room be added to the new Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court building, where prisoners brought to the court by city police officers of Northern Orange county could be left in charge of the court marshal, was taken under study at the last meeting of the Executive Board for the Orange County League of Cities. Garner said this would save much time for police officers, now forced to wait long periods at court to have their prisoners handled, then required to deliver them to the county jail at Santa Ana. This procedure has handicapped operation of the smaller city police departments in the area, the League officials were told. Placentia Man Gets Bronze Star WITH THE 2ND INFANTRY DIV IN KOREA—Army First Lt. Donald G Kraemer, son of Mr. and Mrs G W Kraemer, who live in Placentia, Calif., received the Bronze Star Medal in a recent battlefield ceremony. Cited for mentoring service, he earned the decoration in action with Battery B of the 2nd Infantry Division's 37th Field Artillery As the nation currently observes crime prevention week the heim police department lists most serious problem not the racket, not juvenile delinquency nor petty-bucking but the pedestrian. With the new year a scant months old, there have also been three accidents involving pedestrians. One occurred at B-way and Los Angeles sts, another at Oak and Los Angeles and a third at Center and C. Because of repeated accidents this last crossing, students faculty of Anaheim high school have petitioned for a traffic citation at this dangerous intersection though this will ease the situa- tion at this "coffin corner" it viviously is not the solution for what about the man and wheel, the motorist.

Prov. 31:28. NEWSMAKERS—Highway accident fatalities are newsmakers. You can be assured of getting your name in print if you come to an untimely end on the highway. But who wants to make the front page headlines at such a price? A lot of folks do, you know. But don't let it happen to you. Drive carefully, observe all the rules and courtesies of the open road. Speed and recklessness often is a shortcut to the emergency hospital or the graveyard. When you head the bus out on the road today be doubly careful. More people are hurt and killed in weekend accidents than any other time of the week. For your sake, be careful. PERSONALITIES — It was Ralph Comstock and not Charlie Comstock who helped Dick Glover win that championship at Fulbright. Mrs. Nan Moore of Anaheim, member of the board of 21 prominent Orange county business and professional men and women who donate their time and services to direction of the non-profit organization, has served as secretary of the board during the past year. The nominating committee appointed at the last meeting by President Gaylord Hicks will file its recommended slate of new officers at tomorrow's meeting, after members of the Goodwill Industries corporation select the new board of directors. Tomorrow's meeting marks the 51st anniversary of the founding of Goodwill Industry in America, by the late Dr. E. J. Helms at Boston. There are now 101 Goodwill Industries throughout the country, the Orange county organization being independent of all the others, it was pointed out by Executive Secretary George F. Angne, who has had charge of the Orange county plant since 1935.

With the new year a scant two months old, there have already been three accidents involving pedestrians. One occurred at Broadway and Los Angeles sts., another at Oak and Los Angeles sts., a third at Center and Citron. Because of repeated accidents at its last crossing, students and faculty of Anaheim high school are petitioned for a traffic signal this dangerous intersection. Although this will cause the situation this "coffin corner" it is obviously not the solution for all. What about the man at the level, the motorist. The law deifies his responsibilities very early.

Alms of France Related at Feb. 19 Forum Meeting Colored motion pictures of the minded, fun-loving French people and their 200-year-old civilization, from the Isle de Paris, old medieval walled city of Carrissone to the fabulous luxury of the modern Rivera, will be displayed and described by traveler Robert Friars on Thursday evening, Feb. 19, at Fullerton Public Forum. Entitled "Holiday in France," the program will begin at 7:30 am in Fullerton Union High School auditorium and is open to the public without charge. Seeking out interesting parts of the world since he was 12, the photographer-lecturer made a touch-haking trip completely round the world in 1939 on $82.

PERSONALITIES — It was Ralph Comstock and not Charlie Comstock who helped Dick Glover win that championship at Fullerton in 1932. That was the year the great (and we do mean great) Charles (Rusty) Ledbetter played for S. S. (Shorty) Smith at Brea-Olinda. The old program from which we got our information — mis-information—mentioned Danny Smith, Anahil's great quarterback, and Foster Cheatham. Other personalities playing that game included Burt Kidd, the sensational free booter, and Don Maxson, 146 pounds of dynamite, played center for that great Anahi team of a little more than 20 years ago. BRIEFLY—Dick Wallace is another one of those Anaheimers who knows about keeping up the overhead. He's a roofer ... Vern Hylton has never been known to get his wires crossed. He knows his circuits ... Arthur VanTuyle and his brother, Keith VanTuyle, are doing some sharp pencil work to get a number of good building contracts ... Pierre Davis is the customer's friend. The amiable Anaheim operates behind the counter. It is men like he that make the old home town the business center it is ... Earl Rice, formerly of the horsesey set, helps Northrop keep up its Anaheim production ... Wayne Carlson is an Anaheimmer who works out of the Santa Ana Edison yard. He's an able hand when it comes to stringing high voltage lines... Efficiency in handling the mail is Crawford Brown's motto. He's the fellow with the pleasant personality. WATER — While Anaheim pumps only 16.5 per cent of its water, Fullerton drains 42 per cent of its water from the underground basin at a fraction of the cost paid for Metropolitan Water District Colorado river water. Santa Ana pumps only 11 per cent of its water from basin, whose level has fallen steadily during the past years of light rainfall. While Santa Ana and Anaheim evidently feel the underground water is worth conserving, even at greater cost to themselves. Fullerton's attitude seems to be "the devil take the hindmost" while they get their water as cheaply as possible, regardless of the cost in the future.

HELPFUL VISIT — Lee Hasenjaeger, treasurer of Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Aids looks on with Dr. Edmond F. Cain of Anaheim as member of the Anaheim Jr. Ebell Club visit the children at city's headquarters in Santa Ana.

In par are (left to right) Hasenjaeger; Dr. Cain; Mrs. McFaul Tolf, Jr. Ebell president; Mrs. Robert Armentroult, fare chairman; and Mrs. Ralph Maas Jr., chairman of club's Build a Better Community committee. Staggred Live and Film TV Shows To Keep Young from Staggering By TOM DANSON HOLLYWOOD — There's not a television comedian in the country who won't have his eyes glued on Alan Young's new television show tomorrow night over CBSTV network. He'll also have his eyes glued on Young's health chart, and his audience rating, too because Alan is trying a new combination film and live show plan that may blaze the trail for others On the other hand, it might not work either. Alan will be seen coast to coast every other Sunday night, but it may be a live show or it may be on film. He has one film already finished, and as soon as he gets his initial live program out of the way he will begin pro- Entitled "Holiday in France," the program will begin at 7:30 am in Fullerton Union High school auditorium and is open to the public without charge. Seeking out interesting parts of the world since he was 12, the photographer-lecturer made a sketching trip completely around the world in 1939 on $82. He acquired his passion for travel while recuperating from an operation as a boy by studying an atlas. Arriving by plane at Paris, the film audience will be introduced to the world capital of culture in series of magnificent scenes including Eiffel Tower, Place de la Concord, Notre Dame cathedral, Pierre de Triomphe, Palace de Chaillet and the beloved Seine river. Paris streets with their sidewalk cafes and three-lined bouleards, their imposing statues and stopping districts, are unforgettable as is the world famed Louvre museum. Inside the latter, Friars presents excellently lighted views of the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the American painting, Whistler's Mother, among a few art measures recognized by all mankind. FOLKS—Marvin Miller is hospitalized over at Fullerton, as is Ernest Richards. That's tough. Nobody likes spending time in a hospital bed... Michael Enfield. The lad who was shot with an air rifle, has been released to his home. It was a tough break for the plucky youngster... Leonard Weaver is a lad with a brilliant collegiate future, provided the draft people aren't interested in his services... There's a gymnasium with seating capacity in Fullerton college's future. Mt San Antonio is the envy of the jaycees with a plant second to none. Sam Keith did a remarkable job handling the Anahi cross country team. He didn't have any of those leather-lunged harriers, but the kids had fun. That's what counts... Larry Kirchman, the blond filer, will sparkle for Long John Ward's Santana Dons. They figure he's the difference between a conference championship team and one that's second best. It's on the upgrade both in Hong Kong and Manila. The clothing industry is boosting Hong Kong's financial horizons, while the reconstruction program is progressing rapidly in Manila, he declared. show tomorrow night over CBS TV network. He'll also have his eyes glued on Young's health chart, and his audience rating, too because Alan is trying a new combination film and live show plan that may blaze the trail for others. On the other hand, it might not work, either. Alan will be seen coast to coast every other Sunday night, but it may be a live show or it may be on film. He has one film already finished, and as soon as he gets his initial live program out of the way he will begin production on more films. Then he'll stagger them. "This way my programs will stagger, but I won't." Alan told me at CBS Television City during the Ken Murray party. "It will be a comfortable feeling to know that I have a dozen or more shows on film, and at the same time can do an occasional live program that will let us use topical gags and other things that aren't right on film." It's the live shows that are causing such a high mortality rate among the television performers. (Ed Note: And it's the film series that "killed" Skelton's ratings and morale.) You've heard about all of them.-Canton, Berle, Sullivan and scores of others who have spent more time having their pictures taken by ex-ray machines than by TV cameras. The "new" Alan Young, which is what everyone around CBS calls him these days, will be a composite of all the different types of characters the youthful comic has portrayed in the past. And as if that won't be intriguing enough, he has a new leading lady that had me slightly bugeyed. She's Dawn Addams. You've seen her in pictures, but probably not on TV before. All I can say is that Dawn will rise to shine at night on TV. RAMBLING AROUND... Buddy Rogers, who opens next week at the Ramona room of the fabulous Last Frontier hotel in Las Vegas, is considered the "King of Versatility." You name it, and RECRUITING DRIVE — In a drive to re-build the Anaheim National Guard unit, displays (above) depict some of the events that occurred to the former company. According to Lt. Ralph Compstock, company commander, many of the former guardsmen are returning to form a nucleus for the new unit. IN PERSON America's greatest artist in the humorous concert world!
