22 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER While idly browsing through a few books in my meagre library the other evening, I ran across some passages in one which are herewith recorded: And beheld among simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart. (She is loud and stubborn; her feet abide not in her house) Now she is without, now in the streets, and lieth In wait at every corner.) So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings with me; this day I have paid my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and have found thee. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved Now she is without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, I have peace offerings with me; this day I have paid my vows. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and have found thee. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. For the goodman is not at home; he is gone on a long journey: He hath taken a bag of money with him and will come home at the day appointed. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after her straight-way, as the ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. This particular passage from the book (which is pretty generally known and studied around the world) went on to bring out the fact that the young man shouldn't have done it and that, after taking up with this member of the frail sisterhood, nothing lay in his path but trouble. Now, there exists an element around here which would remove from general circulation certain books containing passages inimical to their views, blinding themselves to the good parts of the book. If I wanted to take such a view, I could reason along these lines: "It is a terrible thing to have a book lying around the house, in easy reach of the children, which describes such salacious happenings. I must get rid of the terrible thing. Cast it into the fire." Would some of you ladies and gentlemen like to come down some time and assist me in burning up a batch of these books? Goodness gracious! How can we have such evil literature lying around the premises when it tells of such goings-on? The fact that this book's content is overwhelmingly for the good of mankind, we will overlook. Here is one infinitesimal feet abide not in her house.

The three-day show will run through Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., at Knott’s Berry farm. As in all flower shows, judging will take place before the public is admitted, beginning promptly at 10 o’clock, thus awards announcing the decisions of the judges will be displayed when the public enters. After the judging, Mayor Travis will officially open the show at 11:30 a.m. and the customary judges’ dinner will follow. Commercial booths will arrange displays of their wares to fit into most any gardener’s or homeowner’s scheme of living. The ultimate in greenhouses will be shown and some “happy-get-lucky” person will win this structure, according to the show committee. Numerous gifts and samples will also be included in the daily schedules and personal attention will be given patrons by many exhibitors explaining the benefits to be derived from the use of their products although sales will not be permitted there. The award of the president's cup for the best individual fuchsia entry is an outstanding highlight. Yearly award of the Fairclo trophy goes to the best branch society booth; and a new board, the Rawley A. Gish memorial cup from the South Gate branch goes to the winner of the second best booth entry, fostering active in-society booth; and a new award, of a gold cup for the best flower arrangement in the juvenile section also attracts attention.

Creating Reveals Progress Toward Control of Carbon Canyon Runoff Reported by city officials following a meeting last week of city officials and flood control engineers. A preliminary engineering report is to be made in July by engineers concerned, including the Santa Ana firm of Harrison and Wooley, retained by both Anaheim and Orange county, and county flood control engineers, Percy Budd and George Osborne with their consultant, Art Beard. These engineers met in Anaheim city hall with Anaheim city administrator, Keith Murdoch, and city engineer, George Hollyoke. The engineers reported that a survey of Santa Ana river capacity shows it to be insufficient to take care of Carbon canyon at peak flow in addition to peak flows from Prado dam and Santiago creek. Therefore they are seeking alternate flood channel routes for the Carbon canyon flood waters. At present two routes north of Anaheim and the present La Palma ave. watercourse are under consideration, all of them expensive to undertake. A request for congressional appropriation of $50,000 for completion of the Carbon canyon survey by army engineers is still pending. The officials stated it is hoped some federal funds will be available for a proposed diversion channel to the river and a waterway through Anaheim. County supervisors have set aside $100,000 from next year's budget for the flood control project.

This fact is evidenced by the following facts and figures released by Postmaster Louis Hoskins this week. Shortly after receiving his appointment, Postmaster Hoskins requested the post office department to supply a parcel post delivery truck, and it was assigned for duty in 1938. No doubt many residents can recall the Ford panel truck, which for many years, in fact until 1951, served faithfully over the entire city in delivering parcel post, both to the residential and business districts. In 1951, the old truck was was in volume of postal receipts; the same rapid growth is shown In 1938, the total receipts were $61,000; in 1952, the total was $232,000. Most of this increase has taken place since the end of World War II, with an increase of $34,000 in 1952 over the previous year. In number of employees, the story is the same. In 1938, there was a total of 22 employees with nine city routes and four rural routes. Now there are 67 employees, with 21 city routes and five rural routes.

Anaheim Chest Receives Unexpected Fund Hike from County Federation Anaheim Community chest received an unexpected boost last week when checks were distributed by the Orange county Federation of Community Chests in a meeting in Santa Ana YWCA. Anaheim received $1100 more than last year, which was a lifesaver in view of the fact that the drive did not go over the top last fall. Anaheim received a total of $2,327.69. A good share of this amount had been designated for Anaheim by employees of companies who donated to the chest through their place of employment outside the community. The Long Beach Douglas plant turned over $623.28 for Anaheim; Fluor Corp. sent in $513.06, while Northrop's contribution was $59.18. NECCA, Pacific Electric Employees, gave $20, while the A.I.D. plan brought in $17.78. A.I.D. is a program which has been adopted by many industries. Employees designate the amount they want to contribute from their pay, and only one drive annually is permitted in the plant. Anaheim Community chest hopes to interest Anaheim industries in the plan. Remalnder of the federation check came from large companies, race tracks and other large donors who give their contributions directly to the county federation, which distributes the money to each community in proportion to the annual budget of each Community chest. Ray Reafsnyder, past president of the Anaheim Community chest and board member of the federation, accepted the check from Joe W. Johnson of Fullerton, retiring federation president.
