C2 TEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JUNE OBLONG VIEWS (From an Erg-shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER This column is literally going to the dogs this week, fulfilling grave prophecies laid down by certain readers in past months. It all springs from the fact that I took an old tom-cat out to the county Animal Shelter last Thursday morning for disposal. He had been eating a neighbor's rabbits. This I can't sanction in any household pet, and the neighbor heartily agreed with this point of view, peering at me over the sights of a 1941 German Mauser pistol, than which there are few more effective instruments of persuasion. But later in the afternoon I was filled with remorse, chickened out on the whole deal, forgot the cat's shortcomings and returned to the Shelter (we used to call it a "pound" over home) to see if I could reclaim him. But I was too late. He was long gone. But I stuck around the place long enough to give it a pretty thorough examination and to ask countless questions of the poundmaster, who at the end of the interrogation, probably figured that there should be an immediate reversal of the present situation, with me in a pen and all the animals turned loose. In charge of the Shelter (which Stanton Child Killed when Hit by Car Naomi Rodriguez Figueroa, 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe E. Figueroa of 10832 Oak st., Stanton, died Sunday afternoon at the Orange county hospital from injuries received Saturday evening when she was hit by an automobile. The har that struck the youngster was driven by Heraollo Delgado Melendez of Garden Grove, who was traveling west on Central ave., in Stanton at about 15 miles per hour. The accident occurred about 5:25 p.m., Saturday, and the child died in Orange county hospital at 12:15 p.m., Sunday. She is survived by her parents, one brother, Joe R. Figueroa, Jr., of Stanton; six sisters, Mrs. Ruth Saldana of Stanton, Mrs. Esther Correa of Colonia Independencia, and Anna, Linda, Rachel and Jean Figueroa, all at home; and paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Saloma Figueroa of Stanton. Memorial services were held Monday evening at the Hilgenfeld chapel, with Rev. Solomon Mendoza in charge of the serv- "pound" over home) to see if I could reclaim him. But I was too late. He was long gone. But I stuck around the place long enough to give it a pretty thorough examination and to ask countless questions of the poundmaster, who at the end of the interrogation, probably figured that there should be an immediate reversal of the present situation, with me in a pen and all the animals turned loose. In charge of the Shelter (which is located just behind the County hospital and supervised by the County Health department) is Faustino Montoya, a deputy sheriff who wears the title of County poundmaster. Montoya has held this post for 2½ years. He knows dogs, having at one time been a trainer, and keeper of kennels. He says stray dogs without tags will be held at the Shelter for 72 hours, but those with tags will be held five days. Attempts are made either to place dogs in receptive homes or to return them to their owners. But naturally, there must be a time limit, at the end of which the animals are sent to their reward. This is done by placing them in a cylindrical cage which is then wheeled into a decompression chamber about four feet in diameter and six feet long. One, two, three or four may be accommodated, depending on their size. After the chamber's door is tightly sealed, a powerful electric motor creates an instantaneous and nearly complete vacuum. In a second, there is no more doggie in the window. Cats are done away with in the same manner. All carcasses are picked up by a Los Angeles fertilizer firm. But the place is kept scrupulously clean, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals makes inspections, generally impromptu and anonymous. The animals are well fed and cared for while they have life. It may be interesting to the taxpayer to learn that this institution, with its four attendants and three trucks, is financed from one source only: dog license fees, $3.00 for females and $2.00 for males. According to Montoya, the take on licenses averages about 12,000 annually, increasing each year. In other words, if you have no dog to be licensed, you don't have to pay for the upkeep of this worthy and necessary institution. (That wearisome old drone on the Santa Ana paper may read this and say "Ha! That's just She is survived by her parents, one brother, Joe R. Figueroa, Jr., of Stanton; six sisters, Mrs. Ruth Saldana of Stanton, Mrs. Esther Correa of Colonia Independencia, and Anna, Linda, Rachel and Jean Figueroa, all at home; and paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Saloma Figueroa of Stanton. Memorial services were held Monday evening at the Hilgenfeld chapel, with Rev. Solomon Mendoza in charge of the services. A brief service followed Tuesday morning and burial was made in Westminster cemetery on Magnolia ave. near the Alamitos Friends' church. Gledhills Get 35th Anniversary Surprise The arrival home of one son from Eniwetok Atoll and a telephone call from another on Guam Island were the anniversary surprises most treasured by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Gledhill of 411 N. Emily st., who celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary this week. Mel Gledhill, 33, called Monday evening from Guam, where he is stationed with the Navy, to congratulate his parents. Jack Jr., 28, arrived home a week before the anniversary from Eniwetok Atoll, where he is employed by a civilian firm on a government project. Fremont School Graduates 225 Exercises held last night in Anaheim city park's Greek theater marked the graduation of 225 students from Fremont school. Rex Coons, board of education president, presented diplomas to the graduates. Student speakers presented a panel discussion on "Our American Heritage—a Challenge to Youth" with Paul Gerber as moderator and Linda Cheatum, John McDonald, Glenda Simonton, Judy Sympson, Mark Fowler and James Dickey as speakers. Susan Lillywhite was valedictorian and Steven Morris was salutatorian. Buses left the school this morning to take the graduates to the annual class picnic at Irvine park. Hurt in Wreck Injury to her foot was sustained... In other words, if you have no dog to be licensed, you don't have to pay for the upkeep of this worthy and necessary institution. That wearisome old drone on the Santa Ana paper may read this and say "Ha! That's just what I keep preaching about people who have no children in school. Why should they have to pay for the education of other people's kids?" But to this I would answer: Human beings are slightly more important than dogs. Montoya gave out other information which may not be generally known. The attendants at the Shelter are on call 24 hours daily, and if a stray cow gets into your petunia bed at 2 a.m., they will respond to the call, although it was not made clear as to just exactly what they would do upon arrival at the scene. And further, if stray dogs eat up your ducks, chickens or sheep, the Animal Shelter will pay the damages. But the poundmaster was quick to state that his department has nothing to do with the apprehension or disposal of wild animals such as opossums or skunks. Especially skunks. And they do other things. I asked the poundmaster what one should do when the neighbor's dog makes loud barks in the wee hours of the morning. He handed me a wad of cotton. Note to Alleen DeMonte: It is not my practice to read those stupid Hollywood fan magazines which are nothing but palliatives for that Glittering Gomorrah of the Golden West. Hurt in Wreck Injury to her foot was sustained by Mrs. Stella W. Davis, 53, 700 Victor st., Anaheim, last week end when her car collided with one driven by Victor C. Hourez, 53, Costa Mesa, on Brea rd. near Harvard ave., north of Fullerton. She was taken to her home in a police car, the injury apparently not serious. With a large crowd of representatives of Anaheim area industries looking on Tuesday evening, 95 industrial workers of the area were awarded certificates of completion of industrial courses in Anaheim and Fullerton schools. Anaheim Area Industrial Group, an affiliated organization with Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, was in charge of the evening since the industrial education program was initiated by that body: Oscar Schultz, AAIG chairman and owner of the Schultz Tool and Machine Manufacturing Co., Anaheim, presided as master of ceremonies. Richard W. Gay, president of Anaheim Chamber, welcomed the assemblage. Entertainment was provided by the "Mello-Larks", a musical group including Wythena Luchau, Veda Henderson, Eleanor Johansen, Delores Shannon, June Conklin, Jean Portugal, Nina Ernst, Barbara Smith and Roberta Woods; and Robert Foley, FJC student who entertained with pantomimes. Speakers included Don L. Newton, Kwikset Locks plant manager; Robert Sweeney, Robertshaw-Fulton personnel manager; William R. Poulson, Anaheim Evening High school principal; Larry D. Snow, secretary of Fullerton Manufacturing Co.; Thomas H. Quayle, assistant manager of Northrop-Anaheim; and T. Stanley Warburton, superintendent of Fullerton Union High school and Junior college.

Over Water Works Of District 2 Operation of the facilities of water works district No. 2 at Buena Park passed into the hands of the newly incorporated city this week with an agreement between the county of Orange and the city to extend three years. Buena Park "inheritits" the distri­tion though its incorporation, pay­ing nothing for the facilities since residents of the area paid for them through special district tax­ation. One problem remains to be solved—that of 21 acres of the district which lies outside of the city's boundaries. County Coun­sel Joel E. Ogle said the county may have to ask enabling legisl­at­ion from the state legislature to straighten out the situation. Buena Park Police Take Over Law Enforcement in Fledalina City Law enforcement in Bueha Park, Orange county's latest incor­porated community, this week passed from the hands of the sheriff's department and California highway patrol into those of a group of four men who comprise the public safety department under public safety chief, Carl M. Lollin. Under the public safety de­partment setup, unique in Orange county and the second in Cal­fornia, Lollin and his men are responsible for both law en­forcement and fire protection. A prowl car, leased recently by the city, will be manned on a 24-hour basis by three of the men with the fourth serving as relief officer. They are Vern O. Stock, Edward L. Allen, Richard C. John- son and Kenneth B. Jones. Jones is the only one of the four who are old hands in Buena Park. He served two years as fire protection officer of the fire protection district. Traffic citations issued by Buena Park officers will be handled in Anaheim-Fullerton municipal court with a percentage of court fines being remitted to the city. Uniforms for the new officers will be tan slacks, brown Eisenhower jackets, Sam Brown belts and Stetson hats. Lollin hired May 1 at a salary of $425 per month, will run the department from a small office in the fire protection district office. His men were hired at salaries which range from $288 to $341 per month.
