Dollar Days in Anaheim OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-shaped Head) By M. WALDO HUNTER, P.B.B. THERE BEING some news batted around the neighborhood that this is a Dollar Day week-end in Anaheim, your faithful correspondent delved into the Gazette's files to retrieve an erratic dissertation on the dollar bill, a column which appeared just about this time last year. I called it an "Elegy to a Dollar Bill." One of our dictionaries defines "elegy" as: "a poem or a song expressive of sorrow and lamentation." That's exactly the way I feel about those dollars which have eluded my grasp. Elegy to a Dollar Bill What are you... green and greasy thing lying crumpled in my palm? How many billions of germs have the grubby hands of humans rubbed onto you? Actually, you are nothing but a worthless piece of paper, elevated a degree of so above the class of ordinary papers by the impregnation of stronger fibers and more durable ink. Are you really proud of yourself? You are at the same time nothing — and everything. It could be that someone was bludgeoned to death in a dark alley just because of you. Could also 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY John E. Bertch Named New General Secretary of Local YMCA Program John E. Bertch, assistant general secretary of the Berkeley, Calif., YMCA, has been named as the new General Secretary for the Anaheim YMCA, according to an announcement made yesterday by Warren Ashley, president of the local organization. Bertch, who will formally take up duties on Sept. 1, succeeded "Tommy" Thomason who recently resigned from the position. Next year Thomason will serve as principal for one of Anaheim's new junior high schools. Bertch has served with the Berkeley YMCA since Jan. 1, 1947. Prior to that time he held a series of positions in youth work programs. During 1946 he served as executive secretary of the North Central Branch of the Oakland YMCA. Military Service From Jan. 1944 to Feb. 1946, he served as radar officer in the rank germs have the grubby hands of humans rubbed onto you? Actually, you are nothing but a worthless piece of paper, elevated a degree of so above the class of ordinary papers by the impregnation of stronger fibers and more durable ink. Are you really proud of yourself? You are at the same time nothing — and everything. It could be that someone was bludgeoned to death in a dark alley just because of you. Could also be that at one time you graced the collection plate at a church. And it could also be that you were surreptitiously passed from hand to hand in some dim brothel years and years and years ago. What evil have you bred in the hearts of men! And, conversely, what immense good you have caused to be accomplished! On the one hand you help little children struck down with polio or cerebral palsy. On the other, you buy a bullet which shatters some mother's son on a battlefield. Does this make sense? You are a split personality; a clear case of schizophrenia. You don't know what you are doing, especially in these times. You are a little lean these days, worth only about half your salt. But you circulate in a high and mighty fashion. You provide us with the basic necessities of modern life: new cars, fine clothes and television. And you oil the war machine. But you are a sickle little devil, and have a devastating way of altering your personality. There was a time when you retired from the scene; were aristocratic and elusive. Millionaires, turned pauper overnight, tumbled out of skyscraper windows to their deaths back in '29, all because of the sudden lack of you. And your scarcity also caused old people to kneel in their homes and pray for some miracle to stay the heavy hand of the mortgagor. You were scarcer but fatter then, actually worth a "buck," according to the old timers. Trouble with you is, you fluctuate too much. Tell me... are you now thinking of pulling another fade-out one of these years? Old dollars never die, you know, They just fade away. As I spread you out on the desk before me I see that you are dignified by the signatures of such illustrious personages as Georgia Neese Clarke, Treasurer of the United States, and John W. Snyder. Kwikset Gives Record Profit Sharing Checks Every employee of Kwikset Locks, Inc., this week received a record breaking $171.60 cash profit-sharing check, representing a portion of the company's profits for the months of April, May and June, 1953. More than 800 employees received the checks. The previous high check for a three months period was $121.19. Since the plan was put into operation on Jan. 1, 1951, a total of $284,916—in addition to regular wages—has been paid in cash to employees under Kwikset's cash profit-sharing system. All employees who were employed by the company during the full three months period received $171.60. Those who joined the company within the period received a proportionate amount. In a letter to personnel of the company, Adolf Schopee, president of the Anaheim lockset manufacturing firm, said the large amount was due to "our excellent performance which has kept us in a good competitive position and has kept our sales up." Schopee also pointed to the company's new Incentive plan as a major factor in the bonus. City Community Chest Goal Set Anaheim Community Chest goal was set at $31,049.82 Tuesday night when the board met to consider recommendations of the budget committee. Last year's goal was $28,158, but reached only 90 per cent when all returns were in. The six agencies which were advised year Thomason will serve as principal for one of Anaheim's new junior high schools. Bertch has served with the Berkeley YMCA since Jan. 1947. Prior to that time he held a series of positions in youth work programs. During 1946 he served as executive secretary of the North Central Branch of the Oakland YMCA. Military Service From Jan. 1944 to Feb. 1946, he served as radar officer in the rank of lieutenant, senior grade, aboard the USS Guam, a battle cruiser serving with the 5th and 7th fleets in Pacifit operations. Before World War II, Bertch worked as Boys' Program Secretary and Camp Director of the YMCA at Green Bay, Wis., for three years; Director of Boys' Program and Camp Director of the Peoria, Ill., YMCA two and one half years; Executive Secretary of the District Branch of the Waterloo, Ia., YMCA for three and one-half years; Younger Boys' Program Director for Englewood YMCA, Chicago, for five months and Associate Boys' Secretary of the Waterloo YMCA for six years. Bertch is a graduate of Iowa State Teachers college, receiving a B.S. degree in Industrial Arts Graduate work was done at George Williams college (YMCA school) in Chicago where he majored in group work administration. He took additional work at the University of California and Armstrong college to complete work for a Master's degree in Business Administration. Long Experience He was born in Waterloo, Ia., and grew up there within the YMCA program, serving almost continuously since that time either a club or camp counselor swimming director, camp director or secretary. Bertch is married and has two children, David, 11, and Diana, 8. Death Claims William Moore William F. Moore, 82, a native of Clyde county Illinois, who moved to Anaheim six years ago died early yesteday morning at the Anaheim Community hospital after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife, Alta C. Moore; six daughters; Mrs Edith Jensen, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs Hazel Durkin Wood, Companion; Mrs. Emma M. Neslund; Anaheim; Mrs. Helen Stevenson; Orlando; Elm; Roberta Trouble with you is, you fluctuate too much. Tell me... are you now thinking of pulling another fade-out one of these years? Old dollars never die, you know, They just fade away. As I spread you out on the desk before me I see that you are dignified by the signatures of such illustrious personages as Georgia Neese Clarke, Treasurer of the United States, and John W. Snyder, Secretary of the Treasury. And I also see the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States on which is superimposed the likeness of a pyramid topped with a giant eye. I also see on the seal these words: "Novus Ordo Secorum." These words leave me cold, but as I perceive this eye staring back at me I begin to think it is the eye of the Department of Internal Revenue giving me an accusing leer because I didn't send enough of you to Mr. Snyder last March 15. You are indeed an exalted thing. If only I had enough of you I would drive a fish-tail Cadillac instead of the portable oil refinery I now juggle back and forth to work. Your power is unlimited, and the things you do to people is astounding. Had I possessed just one more of you in Las Vegas on a certain summer evening back in 1950 I would have left the place feeling the giddy flush of temporary wealth. The next guy in line hit a whopping jackpot. Another time I had confidence enough to put two of you on a horse at Santa Anita, and got nothing in return but a cardboard stub. The horse came in so late they had to use a flashlight to get him into the stall. Is this cricket? But despite the fact that you can move mountains, make atom bombs and induce panic in world chancellories, do you REALLY amount to much? Has anyone City Community Chest Goal Set Anaheim Community Chest goal was set at $31,049.82 Tuesday night when the board met to consider recommendations of the budget committee. Last year's goal was $28,158, but reached only 90 per cent when all returns were in. The six agencies which were admitted to the Red Feather drive last year were included in this budget, with the United Defense Fund again being turned down, though the board expressed reluctance at refusing a worthy agency. "It would place too great a burden on the fund-raising committee," commented Clyde Cromer, budget chairman. Biggest allotment in the budget will go to the Girl Scouts, who will receive $11,034 if the drive reaches its goal this fall. Boy Scouts were granted their request for $7,987, in spite of the budget committee's recommendation that this amount be slashed by almost $1,000. Catholic Welfare was granted its request for $4,771.84 and Salvation Army granted $2,250. Visiting Nurses Association share is $1,415 and Children's Hospital $1,550.89. The board reserved $2,040 for campaign and office expenditures for the coming year. John Steffy, vice-president, reported that the campaign committee, headed by Paul W. Cook and Arthur E. Shipkey, is hard at work and will soon release names of key workers. A letter of appreciation was ordered sent to Oscar Renner, who retired from his post of Salvation Army representative on the board last month after many years of service. He was replaced by T. Earle Woodward. Barney Jordan presided over the meeting and announced the next board session will be Sept. 1, the night of the opening of the fund drive. William F. Moore, 82, a native of Clyde county Illinois, who moved to Anaheim six years ago died early yesterday morning at the Anaheim Community hospital after a brief illness. He is survived by his wife, Alta C. Moore; six daughters, Mrs Edith Jensen, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mrs. Hazel Durkin Wood, Compston., Calif.; Mrs. Emma M. Nestlund, Anaheim; Mrs. Helen Stevens, Orlando, Fla.; Mrs. Roberta Craig, Roseville, Calif., and Mrs Ruth Anderson, Deary. Idaho; two sons Dr. Troy Moore, Olympia, Wash., and Bethel Moore of Filer, Idaho; two brothers, Frank Moore of Montana and Allen Moore of Missouri; one sister Mrs. Mora Pomeroy of Missouri; 22 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Proposed Reclassification of property included in the Acacia street annexation west of Raymond avenue was the third plea for reclassification studied. The city had proposed that the property, now R-A, be rezoned to M-1, M-2, and Parking and Landscaping. Over objections of area residents to the heavy industrial classification, the commission recommended to the council that territory be zoned M-1 with a buffer strip along the Fullerton city limits for 50 feet for parking and landscaping. Variances The first petition for variance, submitted by Mr. and Mrs. M.M. Sells, 1067 N. Palm street, won commission approval. The Sells sought a change on a variance granted for a trailer park between 536 and 710 Romneya Drive that would allow them to expand the court, but not to the west as their original variance would allow. A letter of objection from nearby taxpayers was also read. Commission approval was also given to Marvin A. Pietrok, 135 W. Elm street, who asked permission to erect a one-story house on his property at 1502 E. Vermont street. Garden Homes of Santa Ana, however, was denied its petition to change the setback for its new subdivision on the north side of La Palma avenue and N. West street from 25 to 20 feet. The company representatives declared the greater back yard space was necessary for the type home they intend to construct. The petition lost by a 5-2 vote but backers were told they may appeal to the city council next week. After listening to a series of objections from nearby property owners, a petition to construct a duplex on the corner of South Palm and Water streets was also denied by the commission.
