OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-shaped Head) By M. WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. TUESDAY IT WAS your correspondent's grave misfortune to have an encounter with a dentist. The dentist won. He said it took him eight years to learn his profession, and it soon became obvious that he was trying to make up for the entire expense of that training in this one brief but strife-ridden sitting during which he durnear done me in. An M.D. one can tolerate, but dentists invariably arouse suspicion. A physician will tap on your knees with a hammer, "take" the pulse, squint at the tongue and throat, tune in on the chest and back with his stethoscope, and say just simply: "Hmm" while he slyly cogitates on what specialist to send you to. It's different with a dentist. He'll tap on your teeth and then will say: "This one has got to come out, and if you don't get THAT one out you are headed for the grave. A dentist wants to get all your teeth out onto a table so he can look at them. But it costs only $5 per extraction, so what are we grumbling about? We may as well face facts and tell the truth. Today's dentists are nothing but ivory hunters garbed in white smocks. Modern dentistry still inflicts exquisite torture on patients. I don't speak of what happens in the chair. They pump you so full of dope in that thing that you are still numb even when you finally pay the bill. 02 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY Minute Maid, Golden Citrus in Sales Pact In a joint statement made today, John Fox, president of Minute Maid corporation, John D. Kerr, president of American Fruit Growers, Inc., announced the signing of an exclusive sales contract with Minute Maid for all California citrus products produced by Golden Citrus Juices, Inc., at Fullerton, California. Minute Maid Corporation is at the same time acquiring a financial interest in Golden Citrus Juices, Inc. Kerr declared that the basis of this transfer of stock was the opportunity to use the nation-wide Minute Maid sales organization for distribution and sales of Golden Citrus Juices products. He indicated his opinion that the Minute Maid sales organization is outstanding in the United States in the merchandising of citrus juice products. Eadington declared that sales of Golden Citrus, which were $5,000,000 in 1952, are expected to exceed the $7,000,000 mark in 1953 with these increasing sales. He feels that the new sales arrangement will speed payments to growers for fruit delivered, as well as ensuring higher returns to all growers. Eadington said Golden Citrus Juices, Inc., California's most modern and complete citrus processing plant, has since its first year of operation, returned more money per field box of juice fruit to its growers than has any other processor in California. Higher so he can look at them. But it costs only $5 per extraction, so what are we grumbling about? We may as well face facts and tell the truth. Today's dentists are nothing but ivory hunters garbed in white smocks. Modern dentistry still inflicts exquisite torture on patients. I don't speak of what happens in the chair. They pump you so full of dope in that thing that you are still numb even when you finally pay the bill. It is the nervous spell in the waiting room that saps a man. Give me a maternity ward every time. It is the choice of magazines they furtively scatter around the waiting room that gets me. While swabbing the sweat from my palms at this particular dentist's shop, I groped for a magazine which lay unobtrusively on a small servante. I was attempting to expunge from my mind the intelligence that an unpleasant extraction of some residual roots in the left jaw was to take place in 15 minutes. Idly opening the magazine, what did I see but an article titled: "How to Grub Out Stumps." But this dentist was gentle. It's been three days now, and my jaw still feels like it was run over by nothing heavier than a Good Humor wagon. It is difficult to figure out what is wrong with dentists. This one, as he pried, prodded, chipped, chipped, gouged, rasped and hacked, kept asking: "Now does this hurt? I don't want to hurt you." Naturally, I tried to answer in the affirmative, but with the tongue, the upper half of the alimentary canal, and the entire left side of the face partially paralyzed by a new anaesthetic called, I believe, ravacaine, and with something which looked like a chrome-plated tire tool wedged into the jaw, to say nothing of a wad of material which felt like an old rolled-up rayon sock, conversation did not come easy. My attempted "yes" sounded something like "pfnstl" which the doc apparently took for a "no," for he went merrily on with the job at hand. Meanwhile a masmic cloud of powdered enamel filled the air. He got a gleam in his eye like a latter-day Gutzon Borglum sculpting a new president in South Dakota's Black Hills. But later in the office when the bill was tottled up, I took es On Sunday morning at White Temple Methodist church, Daye Deshler was welcomed as new Minister of Youth. He takes the place of Chuck Wiggins who resigned to attend seminary this fall. Deshler comes from the Methodist church of South Pasadena, where he served one year as Minister of Youth. He is a graduate of Whittler college, now attending the University of Southern California graduate school of religion as pre-ministerial student. Mrs. Deshler is also a Whittler graduate and will be teaching in the Anaheim elementary schools this winter. The couple have had wide camp experience and will accompany White Temple youth to summer camps. Deshler has served as Conference MYF president and will work with the MYF program at White Temple as well as making all church school calls and assisting in the pulpit. His wife has served on the Conference council as United Christian Youth Movement chairman, responsible for relating Methodist youth to the youth of other denominations. Mr. and Mrs. Deshler will reside at 311 E. Broadway. Casto Installed As President of Junior Chamber Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce installed a new state of officers at the annual dinner and dance held July 1, at Vivian Laird's restaurant in Long Beach. Out-going President Bob Heinz installed the following new officers: Glen Casto, president; Richard (Bud) Harris, internal vice-president; Blaine Lublin, external vice-president; Eddie Real, treasurer; Charles Moon, secretary; and the following board members: Bob Benner, Duane Brown, Ted Williams and Wayne Andrade. Heinz took over new duties as State director. Instead of the traditional presentation of the gavel to the incoming president, Heinz presented Casto and the Jaycee a meeting-place plaque as a token of his esteem for the organization. In turn, he received a past president's pin. Bob Malone, out-going vice-president, was presented a Key Man award for his accomplishments as Membership chairman and as chairman of the Anaheim Community Church. Eadington said Golden Citrus Juices, Inc., California's most modern and complete citrus processing plant, has since its first year of operation, returned more money per field box of juice fruit to its growers than has any other processor in California. Higher returns have resulted from a combination of efficient and modern equipment, aggressive management and a minimum of waste and excess operating personnel, he said. The future of California citrus growers depends to a large extent upon the ability of his processor to handle satisfactorily the portion of his total crop that is not of the high quality necessary for California fresh fruit shipments. Too often this has been a neglected source of growers' income and has been treated as a "stepchild," without competent direction. "Golden Citrus Juices, Inc. and Minute Maid Corporation are processors and salesmen only of citrus products and their full time and energies are devoted to this task. The opportunities for reduced costs and higher sales price by this amalgamation are certainly apparent to all citrus growers. The confidence of Minute Maid Corporation and Golden Citrus Juices, Inc. in the California citrus grower and the California consumer market is fully shown by this economically sound association. Every grower, whether affiliated with Golden Citrus Juices, Inc. or not, will benefit by their progressive program," concluded Kerr. Retailers Meet A talk on human relations by Dr. Chester Padgett is slated to head the agenda of the Retail division of Anaheim Chamber of Commerce which is meeting this morning at Dopothy-Wade dinner house. Chairman Harold Smith and Vice-Chairman O. G. Neal and Clayton Allen are in charge of the program. Other items on the agenda include a Dollar Days report by Mrs. Martha Schumacher, a financial report from Gene White, and a report on physical improvements by James Morris. John Steffy is New THE GAZETTE received a mild slap on the wrist last week for referring to that never-falling refresher Coca-Cola as, simply: "coke." Edgar S. Bayol, Coca-Cola's "press counsel" (over home we called them public relations men) cautions us to print that trade-mark not as "coke" but as "Coke." I think he's got something there. Plain, uncapitalized "coke" is a by-product of coal, and is scarcely to be considered something refreshing on these hot summer days. But a tot of "Coke," now that's another thought. To put it in another way, consider your name. You would perhaps feel a bit miffed to see it printed "walter" instead of "Walter." Or "alice instead of "Alice." Aside to the Coca-Cola company: From now on, we'll call it "Coke," but don't you boys get to the point that you feel your drink has reached the absolute apex of perfection and can't be improved upon. If you do, then you have arrived at the stagnation point and progress in your field stops. A finger and a half of rum in a bottle of Coke may be frowned upon in some circles, but in this corner it rates a standing vote of something or other. And don't try to tell me that ain't an improvement!

Higher Put Up or Shut Up (Editorial) There is considerable question whether Northern Orange county is being well served by some of its consistently vocal citizens. Too many seem to prefer to contribute noise to the current hospital controversy rather than cold, hard cash. What is a hospital? It is a means for easing the pains and discomforts of physical man without regard to his geographical location, social register standing, financial acumen race, color, creed or "skill" in local politics. Like mercy, a hospital should "be above this sceptered away?" So should be those who choose to help on a hospital committee. It would be fitting for Anaheim to go ahead now and make some quite definite commitments, strictly financial, for a hospital of its own. Let's put the donors' names, all of them, on the front pages of the local newspapers and keep adding to the list until the quota for a hospital is met. It is time to quit staring at the mote in our neighbor's eye and take a good and honest gander at the beam in our own! Is our thinking so pedestrian that we cannot catch up with the fact that Anaheim and Fulerton will both need a hospital within a decade? Thirty years ago there were dissenters in Los Angeles who lacked this kind of foresight. Were they right? The argument that quality equipment costs too Placentia Orange Packing House To Pack Avocado The packing facilities of Placentia Mutual Orange Association will be used during the season for the packing, pre-coating and shipping of avocados. Calavo Growers of California was announced this week by Robert Dowling, secretary-manager of Placentia Mutual. The packing agreement between the two growers' groups, the first venture of its kind, followed several years of planning, according to Dowling. He said the fact that Valencia orange volume movement runs from May until November while avocado volume heavy from November to May. This ideal situation prompted consideration of the combined packing arrangement, he said. Dowling said the agreement will result in a full, year-around operation resulting in reduced overhead, steady work for employees and a better class of workers. It is time to quit staring at the mote in our neighbor's eye and take a good and honest gander at the beam in our own! Is our thinking so pedestrian that we cannot catch up with the fact that Anaheim and Fulerton will both need a hospital within a decade? Thirty years ago there were dissenters in Los Angeles who lacked this kind of foresight. Were they right? The argument that quality equipment costs too much for a "small" hospital is right from one aspect, but it is wrong when it assumes that this same hospital must, or will, remain "small." There is such a thing as building on a wing at a time around an efficiently designed unit. A great deal is being said currently about "face-saving" in Korea. Is any constructive-minded group exploring the means to set up a "face-saving" arrangement permitting all North Orange county to get together in an "efficiency-area" capable of being served by ONE hospital? (By "efficiency-area" we mean something akin to a "watershed" in water conservation or irrigation.) Who are the human beings comprising the much-criticized committees outside of Anaheim? Are they not men and women of recognized business and professional ability, and are they not responsible people? Since when have the like been unable to get together and iron out their difficulties—provided a dignified and honorable way is provided? Why not start with a nice clean sheet? Such as? It could be suggested to "Fullerton" (c/o the postmaster) that there is a nice "jog" in the city lines west of Euclid and south of Orangethorpe which places a sizable piece of tritory within the City of Fullerton. This "jog" is there because some business-minded people from both communities got together and arrived at a compromise arrangement and provided a solution to a "controversial problem" satisfactory to all concerned. It is in the area favored by "Anaheim" and the recent engineering survey. Let it be suggested to "Fullerton" that they select a site in this general area, and that "Anaheim" agrees to go into a huddle with all interested parties. "Interested parties" shall designate members of a committee of persons having previously donated $5000 each to a Hospital Fund. Let these persons work out a compromise agreement similar to the successful boundary compromise.

Miller, secretary of the Orange County Water District, along with Elmer Farm worth, a grower in the district presented the information from the trial run. It was found that the water provided good irrigation and that where most of the water was applied, the crops were heavest. Regulations of the health department of Orange county are of the State of California would require that all such land be cultivated regularly and that certain types of crops only could be grown, it is stated.

ANAHEIM TTE Mer Month No. 37 Local Physicians Vote to Support Anaheim Hospital Orangethorpe-Euclid Area Site Preferred by Local Medical Men Anaheim physicians last Thursday night expressed themselves as unanimously in favor of an Anaheim-area hospital. Meeting in the home of Dr. Samuel Gendel of Johnston-Gendel clinic, about 90 per cent of Anaheim's MD's agreed unanimously that a hospital is urgently needed, that the site of the proposed hospital should be located so as to serve the whole Northern Orange county area, and that that site would be in the neighborhood of the Orangethorpe-Euclid intersection. "We are definitely in favor of a site in that area," Dr. Gendel stated the next day. Dr. Gendel said physicians agreed that they prefer a non-profit, sectarian, non-tax supported hospital. The physicians stated they would lend their active support to the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce or any other group actively promoting a hospital for this area. They went on record, however, as favoring one large hospital to serve the whole area, not two smaller ones. The medical men disclaimed any intention of sabotaging the efforts of the North Orange County Board of Public Health.

Farmers in the Talbert area, below Ellis ave., woulud be able to use the water from the present treatment plant and to distribute it over a large area by gravity flow. Additional use could be obtained with slight lifts. It is possible that the growers of the area will form a district to build necessary distribution lines and to handle the business of the district. This is being considered at the present time, according to Mr. Farnsworth. Reclamation of the sewer water can be made to a point acceptable for irrigation purposes through a primary treatment, it is thought, although it is recognized that the salts in this reclaimed water will still be high in parts per million. Soaps and detergents from household use, plus some additions from industrial use, make this high salt content unavoidable. Farmers in the affected area are becoming highly concerned over their water supply due to the fact that wells have been abandoned due to high salt content from infiltrations through the gap in the Coastal Barrier at the mouth of the Santa Ana River. Experts have stated that the only way to combat the progressive salting of wells is for the Santa Ana Basin to be filled high enough with fresh water to create pressures against, the salt water of the sea. The water reclaimed from the treatment plant will probably be used not only for irrigation but also, to some extent, for recharging of the under-ground. Realtor Dies Arvilla G.

AUHS Trustees Name Shipkey Board Chairman Arthur Shipkey was elected president of the Anaheim Union High school board of trustees last week to succeed James A. Baker, who retired from the board this year. Everett Cone was re-elected clerk of the board. Mrs. Foster Warwick, who was elected to the board in the April elections, attended the meeting, her first as a trustee. The board approved a budget of $853,561, an increase of $34,537 over the budget for 1952-53. Increased salaries account for the bulk of the increase, according to board members. They said it will be absorbed through higher assessed valuations and state allowances. The budget goes to the office of the County Superintendent of School for approval and then will be submitted to public hearing by the local board on Aug. 6.
