BACK TO SCHOOL OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-shaped Head) By M. WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. BY EVETS NEHPETS Guest Writer A FANTASY ABOUT ANAHEIM: I am dedicating this rambling to the newcomers of Anaheim in the event they do not know why this town isn't Fullerton. I use the word town with reservations because it's a sure thing that we have reached the City class of either "B" or "C" and I cannot remember which. Well, on or about 1850 a bunch of Germen and their frasus decided that Anaheim would be a peachy-fine place to start a settlement and raise grapes so that they could make wine so that they could peddle the wine and make money. Makes sense that they at least wanted to make money. They had a rather tough time of it because everyone else in the county and country thought the wine was lousy but they raised such a hullabaloo about the stuff being good that sooner or later they found a few poor, weak, wine-loving souls that would drink it and hence good old Anaheim was off to a good start. Wine not? It has been said that the founders sold nearly 1½ million gallons of the delicious beverage and that's a lot of hangovers in anybody's 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME XXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE CITY Community Chest Campaign Organization Readied for Kick-Off on September 1 With the kick-off date of the Anaheim Community Chest Red Feather drive just a week and a half away, Co-chairmen Art Shipkey and Paul W. Cook reported organization for the drive progressing satisfactorily. Advance Gifts division of the drive will be sparked by Mayor Charles E. Pearson and E. J. "Brick" Powers. As co-chairmen River Project May Block Carbon Canyon Diversion of the division they called day noon in Anaheim Elkskin and AUHS Coach Dickerson head the Civic, Governance and Schools division of the campaign. Assisting them will be Long, Keith Murdoch, Judy Shea, R. C. McKinley, Griffith, Avon Carlson, Raleigh Wines, Carlton Barthelmer,shal McFie and Martin M. "Everyone a 6-4-6" is thegan adopted for the Red Campaign. The meaning of the slogan explained by Co-Chairmen key and Cook is: "The They had a rather tough time of it because everyone else in the county and country thought the wine was lousy but they raised such a hullabaloo about the stuff being good that sooner or later they found a few poor, weak, wine-loving souls that would drink it and hence good old Anaheim was off to a good start. Wine not? It has been said that the founders sold nearly 1½ million gallons of the delicious beverage and that's a lot of hangovers in anybody's language. This sweet little hi-potency grapejuice racket was soon to stop, however, because some kind of a bug got into the grapes and a terrible blight or measles or something killed all the grapes and ended the whole darned business. Do not quote me, but it is rumored that Cucamunga seeded the area with bo-weevils and the little devils got intoxica and shut off all the oxygen, the wrath. I do not want to fall to hasten and add that Uncle Sam sent several of his hotshot grape specialists to find out what 'oppened and after spending several months of experimentation amidst test tubes composed of gallon jugs of the best, they high-tailed back to Washington and probably formed the first unit of Alcoholics Anonymous. Oh yes, no solution to the problem. Muscatel you more? After that the old timers got together to talk over the situation and one of them uttered in his most gutteral manner, "Nuts" upon which all the members of the Colony immediately decided to raise Walnut trees. This was a very smart move to make because any chump knows that there is not much work to raising walnuts and the old boys decided to plant the living daylights out of all the land hereabouts and sit and wait until they grew up and have the whole country nuts about Anaheim or is it Anaheim nuts about the country? Take it easy, chum, this is a true story. Fortunately the community had an erstwhile citizen by the name of Eric some thing-or-other and he had very thrifty cached a few bottles of wine away so that for the next few years the history of Anaheim is lost in a maze of seedling Walnut trees, corks and burps. Several churches sprung up to off-set the wild cry of the West, "Save a nickle, save a dime. Buy your wine in Anaheim!" There is no question that Eric had taught the local louts to add a little water now and then so they River Project May Block Carbon Canyon Diversion A report this week from Flood Control Engineer Percy Budd indicated that flood relief for Anaheim may have to await federal action on Carbon Canyon's proposed dam. Chief obstacle to diversion around Anaheim of Carbon Canyon run-off during heavy rains, Budd reported, is the lack of capacity of the Santa Ana River, which would require an $800,000 widening project to bring its capacity up to the necessary level. Present capacity of the river is 10,000 cubic feet per second. Budd stated that a maximum flow of 22,000 cubic feet per second would result from heavy rains, the opening of Prado Dam's gates and flow from other streams lower on the river. The overflow, he said, would leave the bed at Santa Ana, inundating Talbert Valley. The engineering firm of Harrison and Wooley, Santa Ana, hired by the county and Anaheim to study the high water situation, indicated they have no alternate solution unless a way can be found to divert the water north of Anaheim. California Tax Collections Total $7,521,889,507 Tax collections in California for all three levels of government totalled $7,521,889,507 during 1952-53, according to the California State Chamber of Commerce. This was 11.1 percent higher than the previous record year of 1951-52 when Californians paid out 6,770,824,786 to meet the largest tax bill in the State's history. Federal taxes accounted for $5,265,268,715, a 13.3% increase over the $4,645,285,491 collected in 1951-52. State taxes reached $1,300,620,792, and local property taxes were estimated at $956,000-000 as previously reported by the State Chamber. The breakdown of federal taxes According to Paul H.

One of Anaheim’s well-loved senior citizens will end more than 38 years of labor on Aug. 31 by retiring from his post as secretary-manager of Anaheim Union Water Co. Leo Shridan, who went to work for the Anaheim Union on Feb. 15, 1915, as a self-styled “flunky” (his first job was mixing mud to make water pipe) will lay aside his work and retire to an undetermined future. He says he intends to see a good bit of the United States in the immediate future, with his wife accompanying him. Sheridan’s next job with Anaheim Union was that of Zanjero, in the Anaheim district, which he held for four years before being promoted to the office as secretary in 1949. He held that post until 1944 when the responsibilities of manager were added to his position. Sheridan, who turned 65 this month, is a native of South Dakota. In 1910 he moved to Anaheim with his parents who lived in the house he now occupies at 402 N. Lemon st. He is the father of two children, Kathleen, now living in Orinda, Calif., and Ted, of San Francisco. In addition to his water company duties, Sheridan served the city of Anaheim as councilman from 1930 to 1946. He recalls that when he came to Anaheim in 1915, the city’s population was listed as 1800. The only paved streets were Center, from Olive to Lemon, and Los Angeles st. from Cypress to Santa Ana st. The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe railroads were already running through town and vestiges of Anaheim’s defunct wine industry were still evident. He said that today the only buildings still standing in the business section that were standing then are the Anaheim Union building and the Public Hearings Scheduled on Reclassifications Three proposed zoning reclassifications will be aired at public hearings to be held at the city council meeting in Anaheim city hall at 8 p.m., Aug. 25. Hearing is set on a petition by Public Hearings Scheduled on Reclassifications Three proposed zoning reclassifications will be aired at public hearings to be held at the city council meeting in Anaheim hall at 8 p.m., Aug. 25. Hearing is set on a petition by F. E. Warnes, 1109 E. Center st., for reclassification of the property at that address from R-3 (multiple family residential) to C-2 (general commercial) to allow location of a service station there. The city planning commission recommended that the petition be denied. Property owners on the west side of S. Janss st., between Santa Ana st. and Water st., have requested a change from R-1 (single family residential) to R-2 (two family residential) zoning for their properties. The planning commission recommended approval. Another reclassification request for the specific purpose of locating a service station will be heard by the council. Gaetha Sisson of Santa Ana, as authorized agent, has requested that the lots including 1012 to 1024 E. Center st. be rezoned from R-3 to C-2. FJC Enrollment Increase Seen A heavy flow of applications from both recent high school graduates and Korean veterans points toward a ten or twelve per cent increase in the number of students enrolled at Fullerton Junior college, according to H. Lynn Sheller, director. This would bring the size of the student body to 1250 students. Enrollment Hike Expected at SAC Pre-registration and counselling of new students at Santa Ana college is well ahead of previous years at this time, indicating a substantial increase in enrollment when classes start Sept. 10, it was announced by Miss Genevieve Humiston, registrar. While the bulk of students are from Santa Ana, other communities of Orange county are well represented, particularly from Anaheim, Orange, Garden Grove, Tustin, Laguna Beach, and Placentia. Royal Marten, head counsellor, urged new students to visit the campus at 17th and Bristol St., in advance of classes so that courses of study may be charted and curriculum problems solved. Appointments can be arranged by telephone if so desired.
