2 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LOOXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1953 OBLONG VIEWS (From an Der-shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER Now again comes the sound of axes being furiously ground, and the peace and tranquility of good old Anaheim is threatened by another tempest regarding what is being taught at AUHS. This time it is material supplied by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization). The last such hassle concerned a reference book on sociology, titled: "Our Changing Social Order." A local pressure group was successful in forcing the school Board of Trustees to remove this reference book from the school library. Your correspondent gave that book a pretty thorough going over, and personally thinks it is such a comprehensive and incisive commentary on the American economic picture (both historically and currently) that he plans to buy one for his boy to read and study as soon as he reaches the eighth grade. But the book made the egregious error of suggesting in one chapter that certain economic conditions in certain geographical locations in the U.S., at certain times, might conceivably make it expedient to institute federally-subsidized housing projects, if for noth- Service Club Volunteers Assist RC Drive With the Red Cross fund drive in Anaheim lagging badly, members of Anaheim service clubs last night threw their weight into the campaign for an 11th hour clean-up attempt. From 6 to 9 p.m., the volunteers worked in the residential sections of the city, bolstering the campaign's weakest division. According to residential division chairman, John Bovee, solicitation at the homes of Anaheimers has fallen down for lack of sufficient solicitors to cover the residential sections properly. Goal of the three-hour residential campaign was at least $2,-000. "In the event any residents were not contacted during the three-hour drive yesterday night," Bovee said, "we beg them to contact the Red Cross, office and make their contributions direct. This final effort must not fail. Funds are badly needed to continue the important blood and polio serum programs of the Red Cross this year."

M. T. Coogan, fruit and vegetable But the book made the egregious error of suggesting in one chapter that certain economic conditions in certain geographical locations in the U.S., at certain times, might conceivably make it expedient to institute federally-subsidized housing projects, if for nothing other than to keep down the incidence of crime and typhoid fever. Such a subject struck the local pressure group as being un-American, and it found a ready ally in the form of a county seat daily newspaper of general circulation not known to be overly-zealous in its support of public education. Mixing vitriol into its printing ink, that newspaper, in large headlines, proclaimed that Socialism was being taught in Anaheim schools. That newspaper's approach to, and treatment of, this story was about as subtle as an African Swahili tribesman beating his wife to death with an earthenware pot. But it was all very effective, and this "evil" book, with its accounts of our economic "booms" and "busuf" was dutifully and humbly junked by the Board of Trustees, with nary a demurrer being recorded. Look for the same tactics to be used in this new controversy, where another organized and vociferous group of "self-appointed custodians of patriotism" is putting on the pressure again to dictate what shall or shall not be taught in our schools. Incidentally, it might be timely here to pose a question: Why do we go to the trouble and expense of electing school boards anyway? With everyone getting into the act and calling the signals, that body seems not only to be somewhat impotent, but actually superfluous. In fairness, I must say that I have yet to find an unbiased, factual summary of just what UNESCO is supposed to teach, or do. You either hear hysterical distribes from the anti's, or lofty paeans of praise from the pro's. It is to be hoped that cool heads prevail in this controversy. There is one thing for certain: the city of Los Angeles became the laughing stock of the country when it ditched the UNESCO studies from its curriculum. Here is one thing for sure. Even in times of national and international stress such as the present, freedom of expression in government. "In the event any residents were not contacted during the three-hour drive yesterday night," Bovee said, "we beg them to contact the Red Cross, office and make their contributions direct. This final effort must not fail. Funds are badly needed to continue the important blood and polio serum programs of the Red Cross this year." Sen. Dilworth To Address Meet Of Assoc. Farmers State Senator Nelson S. Dilworth, chairman of the Senate Investigating Committee on Education, will be principal speaker at the Associated Farmers of Orange County annual dinner, to be held in the Tustin Elementary School Cafetorium at 6:30 p.m. April 23: Senator Dilworth is well qualified in the field of subversive activities investigations, which is the principal operation of the Associated Farmers of Orange County, according to Organizational Chairman Walt Ranney. "Is Competition Out of Date," will be the topic of Sen. Dilworth's talk. He will emphasize the importance of competition to the American way of life. Ranney pointed out that in line with the Associated Farmers interest in American youth and education, one boy and girl from each high school in the county have been invited as special guests. These students have been selected by the principals of the high schools of the county on the basis of their citizenship and scholastic standings. Buchanan Named Realtors' Head Anaheim Realty board last week chose L. F. Buchanan to fill the vacancy left when J. W. Steplien resigned as the organization's president. Buchanan has been active in real estate here for the past two and a half years, moving here from Mt. Vernon, Wash., where he was engaged in the reality business for 25 years. He is a member of Anaheim Kiwanis club and On Navel Orange Marketing Order. The United States department agriculture will open a public hearing in Los Angeles April on a proposed federal market agreement and order program navel oranges produced in California and Arizona. M. T. Coogan, fruit and vegetable branch representatives in Anglesia for the USDA's promotion and marketing administration, said the proposed order similar to one terminated last year after having been in effect since 1942, except that it would apply only to oranges of the navel variety and would exempt all production north of Fresno county California. John Curry, USDA hearing aminer from Washington, D.C., will preside at the hearing will begin at 10 a.m. April 22 room 810, federal building, Angeles. If sufficient evidence is developed at the hearing and the secretary of agriculture approves, the proposal will be submitted to a referendum vote among producers. Lloyd Lichtenwalter Of Optimist Club Lloyd Lichtenwalter, poplar Anaheim gasoline distributor service station operator, was elected as president of the Optimist club at last week's meeting in the Optimist youth center charter member, Lichenwaher has held numerous important chairman posts as well as have served the club past years first vice president. His term office will commence with the new Optimist year beginning July 7. Elected to serve under the r president were Harold Thornton and Les Mitchell as first and second vice presidents. Bob Marsh will continue in the office of secretary-treasurer. Board of governors elected to include retiring president, Lea Lairson, Frank Doretti, Harth Thomas, Cliff Elliott, Bob Marsh Walter Gooden, Sven Harbey Leo Lansdown, Lloyd Lichtenwalter, Marvin Mason, Lester Mitchell, Clarence Stayner and Hewood Larson. Abe Sowder presided during interim that President Louis D. Son conducted the election of CO is supposed to teach, or do. You either hear hysterical distribs from the anti's, or lofty paeans of praise from the pro's. It is to be hoped that cool heads prevail in this controversy. There is one thing for certain: the city of Los Angeles became the laughing stock of the country when it ditched the UNESCO studies from its curriculum. Here is one thing for sure. Even in times of national and international stress such as the present, freedom of expression in government, press, schools, pulpits, in public and private, is essential to democracy; and native courage must not be allowed to shrivel before totalitarian menaces either from the left or from the right. Until the time that men of such stature as President Eisenhower and Senator Robert Taft denounce UNESCO, it seems that we have little to fear from that program. And here’s something else for sure: When the time arrives that any group in this country, elected or otherwise, can by direct or devious means, dictate to us what books we can read (or even what motion pictures we can attend) then we have allowed the last vestige of the democratic process to slip from our faltering 'grasp', and those of us who cravenly capitulate to the demands of such groups have water in our bowels and are unfit even to beg for a place in the ranks of free men. Gain Citizenship Two Anaheim women were among a class of 39 aliens admitted to U. S. citizenship at naturalization exercises late last week in Superior Judge Robert Gardner's court, Santa Ana. Among those becoming new citizens were Marie Louise Verheyden and Adel Romero Spire, both of Anaheim. Anaheim Realty board last week chose L. F. Buchanan to fill the vacancy left when J. W. Stephen resigned as the organization's president. Buchanan has been active in real estate here for the past two and a half years, moving here from Mt. Vernon, Wash., where he was engaged in the really business for 25 years. He is a member of Anaheim Kiwanis club and the local American Legion post. A. E. Robertson was elected to serve as second vice president and multiple listing chairman. Youngsters of Anaheim are invited to attend a big free morning Saturday matinee April 25 at the Anaheim Fox theater. Final arrangements have been completed between the Anaheim Optimists and theater manager, Earl Peterson, to stage a series of kiddies' shows every Saturday for an indefinite period, announced Optimist Louis Larson. Slated on the screen for the initial Optimist kiddies' show in outdoor technicolor is 'Wild Stallion.' Five color cartoons are scheduled to follow. Optimists will be on hand to make the young guests welcome.

R. store, Spear's photo shop, Hurst Jewelry Co., Orange County Drug Co., and the Anaheim self-service gas station. One thousand tickets are being given away for each week. The tickets may be had on request and are already in distribution. "The pictures to be shown at the Optimist's kiddies' program will always be suitable for juvenile audiences," stated Earl Peterson. Each film will be carefully selected from the approved list of the National Teachers association children's library. Theater goers have already seen advanced film notices of weekly kiddies' parties. The attract trailer notice introducing the operating merchants was designed by Optimist artist, Don M. Clarence Stayner, Harold Thasas, Les Mitchell and Harw Larson make up the Optimist co-mittee responsible for the program.

T. Coogan, fruit and vegeta- lan, Northrop-Anaheim manager, announced today. Nolan disclosed that these instruments will be manufactured simultaneously with T-41 optical range finlers and other precision instruments now produced at the local plant. Although ordered by the army ordnance corps, he continued, part of this quantity of new instruments will be produced for the U. S. navy under the armed services' procurement unification program. Two types of telescopes will be assembled under Northrop-Anaheim's new contract. These are panoramic and articulated devices. Both are mounted on the 105-mm howitzer and provide elevation and horizontal information for the gunner, who is concealed behind a protective metal shield. Anaheim took itself and civic beautification seriously Monday when Civic Beautification week was kicked off in great style with a community sidewalk - scrubbing campaign. Under the leadership of Civic Beautification week, Chairman Vera Auest, merchants or their employees turned out shortly after 8 a.m. with buckets, brooms, mops and soap to give the downtown area's face a good swabbing. The fire department was turned out by Chief Ed Stringer to assist by flushing soap and dirt off the sidewalks into the streets, and then the streets were hosed down.

The 10-day beautification period continues with Mrs. Auest stressing the importance of cleaning up alleyways, back and front yards. Chief Stringer pointed out that now is the time to reduce fire hazards by cleaning out garages and sheds, getting rid of possible inflammable trash. The city engineering department's trash trucks and crews are available to haul off any type of trash residents set out for the pick-up. Sewer Directors Open Bids on Four Major Lines County sanitation district directors, meeting in Santa Ana headquarters Wednesday evening were scheduled to open bids on four major trunk sewer lines of the new sewerage system, including a Costa Mesa-Newport Beach line that will carry sewage under the Santa Ana river. Award of contract was expected next week, if bids proved favorable. The line known as Newport Beach trunk, unit 1, will serve sanitation district 5 (Newport Beach) and district 6 (Costa Mesa). Largest trunk line up for bids was the four mile long Bushard trunk, a 54-inch line, one of the key sections of the joint disposal works. Also involved is the 36-inch Elli trunk line, extending 7500 feet, to connect the present joint outfall system with the Bushard trunk; and a JOS connecting trunk line between the present JOS line down the Santa Ana river, and the proposed new treatment plant.

Two Anaheimers Unhurt in Wrecks Two Anaheim motorists escaped injury in weekend traffic accidents in Santa Ana, according to police reports here. Fred L. Irwin, 12462 Katella ave., was driver of a car that collided with the car of Mrs. Lida JoAnn Van Winkle of Fullerton at 17th and Main sts., Santa Ana, Saturday. Neither was hurt. John Bashara, jr., 26, 405 S. Kroeger st., Anaheim, was uninjured when his car collided with a car driven by Victor C. Wales, 64, Santa Ana, who received a hit-run citation when he failed to stop after the collision which took place at 17th and Hellotrope sts. late Saturday afternoon. Burglary Lands Local Youths In Juvenile Hall The initiation of two Anaheim boys into crime and their apprehension and incarceration took place all in one day, last Monday. The pair, 15 and 16 years old, burglarized the Wimberly service station at Ball rd. and Los Angeles st. early in the afternoon, then fled toward the desert with a .38 caliber revolver and $125 in loot. In Banning they stopped to try to buy shells for the revolver and were picked up by California highway patrolmen. While loitering about the station after asking the attendant for Owner Wilburn Wimberly, the boys cleaned out the cash drawer. The arresting officer recognized the youths from the description contained in an all-points bulletin. He found the stolen gun and about $75 in cash on their persons. YMCA's Camp And Last Camp Camp Osceola, Orange county YMCA camp, will operate its and last season this summer. The original and present location: The mountain camp for boys girls situated 30 miles from land, at an elevation of 6300 ft will function for its last summer encampment. The forestry service and the Bernardino county health department have ordered that the camp must be relocated. The office rule that the camp and its equipment now rests on water-bed soil. Drainage from the tary units at the Osceola site may contaminate the water of the Santa Ana river. The 1937 floods together with an extra heavy rainfall due that year caused many springs to rise in the south State Dept. Appraisal of UNESCO Sought by AUHS As Board Hearing Called AUHS Head Reaffirms Belief in UNESCO Principles The Eisenhower administration's appraisal of the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will be brought into the current struggle in Anaheim over use of UNESCO materials in the high school. Superintendent Paul Demaree revealed yesterday that he had wired Sen. Thomas Kuehl (R) Calif., requesting that the government's appraisal of UNESCO be sent him. Sen. Churches Rush to Support of Principal Paul Demaree The Orange County Methodist union, representing a united community effort of 17 Methodist church congregations in the county, this week placed themselves by resolution in unequivocal support of Paul Demaree, AUHS principal and superintendent who is currently under attack because he supported the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization in a recent talk. Attending the meeting of the union at First Methodist church, Santa Ana, April 20, were 376 persons who placed themselves in support of the resolution. They ordered copies of the resolution sent to the board of the Spurgeon Memorial Methodist church, Santa Ana, board of trustees of Anaheim Union High school district and the press. The resolution follows: Resolution WHEREAS there has been for some time a consistent and continued effort in the pages of the Santa Ana Register discredit both the public schools and the Christian church; Kuchel replied immediately by wire that he had requested the State Department to forward the material immediately. Another new item in the controversy broke yesterday when the AUHS board of trustees announced that any individual or organization who wished to register charges against the high school administration should do so in writing and to appear before the regular monthly board meeting at the high school May 14 at 8 p.m. Defends UNESCO The board's decision was made at an unofficial meeting held Tuesday evening. The announcement said the decision to hold the May 14 hearing was unanimous by four trustees present. The controversy began a week ago Wednesday when Demaree delivered a talk before a group of Republican women in the lounge of Anaheim Elks club, defending the principles of UNESCO. Attending the meeting of the union at First Methodist church, Santa Ana, April 20, were 378 persons who placed themselves in support of the resolution. They ordered copies of the resolution sent to the board of the Spurgeon Memorial Methodist church, Santa Ana, board of trustees of Anaheim Union High school district and the press. The resolution follows: Resolution WHEREAS there has been for some time a consistent and continued effort in the pages of the Santa Ana Register discredit both the public schools and the Christian church; WHEREAS the Register has held up leaders of both schools and churches to ridicule and abuse; and WHEREAS during the past week we have seen two of our trusted leaders of Orange county Methodism, the Rev. Ron Deshler and Mr. Paul Demaree, held up villification and abuse in the columns of said paper; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we, the members of the Orange County Methodist Union in regular session, do hereby pledge our confidence in the integrity and Christian character of our two brethren now under attack. We deplore the malicious journalistic techniques used to tear the reputations of these two men who through their acts have proved themselves outstanding American citizens and Christian gentleman. County-Wide School District Board Reections to Choose New Trustees Forty-two school districts of Orlando county will elect boards of trustees on May 15 and 19 of them. The contests scheduled for seats their boards. Twenty other districts have one candidate each and two districts, Paularino El Toro, have no candidates. Press the offices are filled by write-In votes. County Supt. of Schools Linton Simmons must appoint trustees. Among the district candidate fillings are: Placentia Unified — John O. Hamilton, incumbent; Katherine S. Rotherham, one seat to fill. Anaheim Union high—Arval Morris, Lois D. Warwick; one seat to fill. Fullerton high and J. C.—Francis N. Laird, incumbent; one seat to fill. Brea-Olinda high—Aubrey J. Bergman, Phillip Campbell, incumbent; Roger E. Holmes; one seat to fill. Costa Mesa—Thomas B. deForest and Edwin C. Edick, incumbents; Albert J. Delphino and Helen Merkovitch; two seats to fill. Anaheim—J. Niels Boege (from Loara school board, now merged with Anaheim), Melvin Hilgenfeld; one seat to fill. Brea—Leslie B. Slauter, incumbent; one seat to fill. Buena Park—Richard P. Friedrich, incumbent; one seat to fill. Centralia—Alex Pelous, one seat to fill. Cypress—Murton W. Jones, Edwin A. Robinson; two seats to fill. Fullerton—Carrell H. Christie, incumbent; one seat to fill. Katella—Edmund E. Robinet in Defends UNESCO The board's decision was made at an unofficial meeting held Tuesday evening. The announcement said the decision to hold the May 14 hearing was unanimous by four trustees present. The controversy began a week ago Wednesday when Demaree delivered a talk before a group of Republican women in the lounge of Anaheim Elks club, defending the principles of UNESCO. He held that UNESCO serves the cause of world peace and progress through world-wide attempts to wipe out ignorance and illiteracy; through the revealing of debts, cultural and otherwise, owed by one nation to another; through the exchange of ideas and discoveries between nations thus securing the benefits of science to all people; through developing respect for human rights based on principles of Christianity; and by promoting peace through press radio and film. Reaffirms Belief In an interview yesterday, Demaree reaffirmed his belief in these principles of UNESCO. He acknowledged that the communists had made attempts to infiltrate the organization and turn it to their own subversive objectives but, he pointed out, so had they attempted to infiltrate any agency for the dissemination of knowledge or culture. "I believe it would be foolish," he said, "to throw out the whole organization for that reason. Clean out the Reds and their work wherever they can be found, yes, but do not throw out the whole barrelful because one apple is found to be rotten. Confident of Teachers As far as the proposed investigation of the high school to determine whether UNESCO-supplied materials have been subversive is concerned, Demaree was not impressed. "They can investigate from now to Doomsday," he said, "but their efforts will be wasted. I have complete confidence in the teachers employed here that if they found subversive material in the UNESCO offerings, they would not pass it on to the students. And, they won't find anything subversive in the UUNESCO material itself." Legion Attacks The attack on Demaree and the school board came from the American Legion with Tom Hoag, commander of the post, as spokesman. They demand that UNESCO MCA’s Camp Osceola Begins 30th and Last Camping Season for Youth Camp Osceola, Orange county MCA camp, will operate its 30th last season this summer at original and present location. Mountain camp for boys and situated 30 miles from Redlands, at an elevation of 6300 feet, function for its last summer campment. The forestry service and the San Bernardino county health department have ordered that the camp be relocated. The officials that the camp and its equipment now rests on water-bearer soil. Drainage from the sanitation units at the Osceola camp may contaminate the waters near Santa Ana river. The 1937 floods together with extra heavy rainfall during the year caused many new damages to rise in the south section of the camp area which drains toward the Santa Ana river. All types of available equipment have been surveyed and some special devices installed to overcome the problems without satisfactory results. The San Bernardino county health authorities feel that relocation of the camp is the only solution. They have recommended for the past five years that Camp Osceola must be moved for the best interest of all. Now the officials insist that this be the last year of the camp at the present site. Three decades of Orange county YMCA-YWCA youth have enjoyed summer camping at Osceola with directed Christian growth in a well balanced program with special consideration to usable personality skills. Legion Attacks The attack on Demaree and the school board came from the American Legion with Tom Hoag, commander of the post, as spokesman. They demand that UNESCO materials be banished from the high school and that the above-mentioned investigation be made, claiming the material is subversive. Demaree previously pointed out that the US Congress had overwhelmingly approved UNESCO and that unwavering support of the United Nations and its branches had been a major plank in the campaign platform of President Eisenhower. Citrus Dept. to Elect Officers New officers of the citrus department of Orange county Farm bureau will be elected tonight at 7:30 in the Farm bureau building, 353 S. Main st.; Orange, it was announced by Chairman A. A. Eldelson. Other matters on the meeting agenda include the planning of the next year’s program. If time allows, discussions will be held on some of the current problems of the industry such as prorate, production problems and information gained from the recent cost of production study by the extension service regarding valencia oranges.
