Anaheim to Welcome 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY 1953 Chest Drive Ge OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. MUCH ADO has been made in recent months about Mr. Elsenbower's predilection for the humble game of golf. A long-winded splurge in a Los Angeles daily a few days ago brought out the fact that the manufacturers of golf equipment in the United States were really cleaning up the loot all because of the publicity attending the president's favorite game. All the wheels on Washington have taken to golf like butterflies to a rhododendron. A picture of Veep Nixon appeared in The Mirror Monday showing Dick's golf Good Neighbors — EDITORIAL — "Always someone putting the arm on a guy for another donator" was a comment the other day from a disgruntled man when he was approached for a donation to the Community Chest. "I'm having a hard time paying food bills taxes and buying school shoes for the kids," he added. School shoes . . . that reminds us of the old saying, cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had feet." There are plenty of people with no shoes, plenty of people with no feet, too. And some of them meet with misfellow in Anaheim. Then is when the Community Chest swings into action. It's an unpleasant thought, but may next week YOUR wife will take sick and you'll find out he hard it is to get a part time nurse. Maybe next year YOU daughter will get into a jam and need some understandi care and some wise counsel to prepare her for facing up All the wheels in Washington have taken to golf like butterflies to a rhododendron. A picture of Veep Nixon appeared in The Mirror Monday, showing Dick's golf swing. Meaning no disrespect, he appeared to be fighting off a swarm of bees with a croquet mallet. Harry Truman dabbled at the noble game of poker (which takes a lot more brains to play), but to my knowledge, I never heard about anything in the daily press telling of an upsurge in the sales of playing cards during his tenure of office, if that is the word for it. The late President Roosevelt affected cigarette holders, but there were no gushing stories in the big papers about a run on the market regarding cigarette holders. (Mr. Truman smoked once in awhile, but in a different way.) Mr. Eisenhower plays golf. So what? So do L. (Although neither as well nor as often as Ike.) But the nation's scriveners, harried by demanding editors who want stories about the President, and finding it exceedingly difficult to write anything about a "business as usual" chief executive, fall back on this golf thing, which has just about been ridden to death. Our presidents need their relaxation, whether it be fishing, swimming, poker playing, writing sulphurous letters or playing golf. There's one bad point about the Chief playing golf, however. A golfer is of necessity a cusser, and I hate to think of the President of the United States striding around a golf course for four hours cussing all the way. The most plious man will swear at a golf ball, for those things can bring out of a man what nothing else will. He may not swear aloud, but when the ball drops short of the green or over it, or into a sand trap, nothing will enter his mind but a good, round cuss word. I have studied this thing with sedulous particularity, and know whereof I speak. I once played a round of golf with a gentleman of the cloth (denomination shall be withheld) who contained himself with a remarkable degree of School shoes ... that reminds us of the old saying, "cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet." There are plenty of people with no shoes, plenty of people with no feet, too. And some of them meet with misfortune in Anaheim. Then is when the Community Chest swings into action. It's an unpleasant thought, but maybe next week YOUR wife will take sick and you'll find out how hard it is to get a part time nurse. Maybe next year YOU daughter will get into a jam and need some understanding care and some wise counsel to prepare her for facing up the world again. Maybe your kids would like to join the BScouts or the Girl Scouts, if there's enough money in the treasury to run these fine character building agencies. May be next week YOUR baby will swallow a button and we have to be rushed to Children's Hospital for emergency care. This time, folks, YOU put the arm on the Community Chest. Put the arm right down into that pocket and DD What you come up with will help to fill the chest this year Remember, a growing city has growing problems, too. The six agencies in Anaheim Community Chest are helping to meet those problems. These six agencies are your representatives, doing your neighbors a good turn on your behalf. You can be proud of your deeds if you supply the agencies with the funds to operate. They've spent many an hour whittling down those budgets. Any more cutting will be "into the bone." Canaheim put $31,049 into her Community Chest this year. We'll see what kind of neighbors we are! Red Cross Chapter Reports 'Most Successful' Bloodmobile Donation Joe R. Thompson, chapter chairman, presided last Wednesday evening at a board meeting of the Anaheim American Red Cross chapter which was highlighted by interesting reports from committee chairman. Vice-chairman of the Blood Program, Mrs. Ben Kaulbars, reported that the mobile blood unit held on Aug. 28 was one of the most successful in the chapter's history. 199 donors were recruited by Clyde Cromer, recruitment chairman, and 185 pints of blood were obtained. The Bloodmobile will be at the Los Alamitos Naval Air station on Sept. 18, and will be staffed by volunteers from Anaheim chapter. Mrs. E. H. Kersten, chairman service groups, reported that volunteers gave 3.0 hours of service during August. A large number of these worked at the Blood Mobile. For Water Safety, Tex Middleton, chairman stated that 22 swimming certificates were sued. Miss Frieda Janss, hospital services chairman, announced that the chapter is providing refresherments for the weekly party at the Long Beach Veterans hospital on Oct. 22. She urged boat members and others to attend. Home service had 29 cases opened during the month, eight of which were new. Service was given 12 active service personnel, one veteran and one civilian case. There were 40 office calls at seven home calls made. Finance assistance was given in two cases. Mrs. John Kemper was appointed home service chairman. Miss Neil can bring out of a man what nothing else will. He may not swear aloud, but when the ball drops short of the green or over it, or into a sand trap, nothing will enter his mind but a good, round cuss word. I have studied this thing with sedulous particularity, and know whereof I speak. I once played a round of golf with a gentleman of the cloth (denomination shall be withheld) who contained himself with a remarkable degree of restraint until he missed a two-foot putt on the 16th hole. Looking up, he said merely, "Oh my God!" Whether this were expostulation or prayer, I felt unworthy to judge. But it did, somehow, seem appropriate. On with your golf, Ike, and a hole-in-one to you one of these fine days. Just quit chipping short of the green so much. AMERICAN CONSUMERS will put up with a lot for so long until finally, they arise in collective wrath to stamp out that which has licked them to the point of revolt. This column, always crusading, now enlists the aid of all good housewives to make and end to the great Pork & Bean conspiracy. The common can of Pork & Beans is as traditionally American as the Sears-Roebuck catalogue, the Pony Express, and Apple Pie & Cheese (a combination which I understand originated in the Lower Yemen Province in 1739.) But all down through the years, so far as has been ascertained, no one ever found a piece of pork in a can of Pork & Beans. O, yes, occasionally you can fish out a miniscule blob of fatty stuff which evaporates when brought into the light, but where is the PORK? I have long maintained that the great canning companies employ (Continued on Page 8) Martin Valencia, 68, a native son born in Yorba Linda, and a resident of Northern Orange county continuously, died Sunday evening at the Orange County hospital after a very brief illness. His home was at 17921 Placentia-Yorba Road. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Matilda De Los Reyes of Atwood and two brothers, Manuel Peralta of Fullerton and Fred Peralta of Anaheim. Holy Rosary was recited Tuesday night at the Hilgenfeld chapel and Mass was read at St. Joseph church in Placentia Wednesday morning. Burial was made in the Cemetery of the Holy Sepulcher. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Tony Gutierrez, 228 E. Sycamore st., last Wednesday. He welged in at 6 lbs., 9½ oz. at Fullerton Cottage hospital. Northern Orange county hasn't lost all 45 beds of Fullerton General hospital, it developed last week when the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange revealed that a new in-patient section with 10 hospital beds has been opened in St. Joseph hospital, Orange, primarily for the use of residents of North Orange county. In addition to these ten beds, another ten-bed section was previously made available to residents of the Fullerton area, according to the Rev. Mother Felix, superior of the nursing order.

"With the opening of the new section of St. Joseph and the accommodations available at other facilities, local patients needi-hospital care should be well taken care of during the interim period before a new hospital is built in North Orange county," the Rev. Mother Felix stated. She added that she is confident that area citizens will feel that the greater safety insured through the closing of Fullerton General will far offset any small inconvenience caused doctors and patients who must drive the few extra miles to Orange or Santa Anita."

Richards, 82, a native daughter born at Dixon and a resident of the state all her life and 'Back to School' Poses Additional Problems for Drivers, CHP Warns "It's September again, and September means school. As youngsters up and down the state prepare to return to classes every motorist should review, once again the traffic rules governing schools and school buses," observes B. R. Caldwell, California Highway Patrol commissioner. "Every motorist knows that 15 miles per hour is the maximum speed for passing a school when children may be on the grounds. Cautious motorists also know they must stop when they see the flashing red lights on any school bus. What many motorists do not seem to understand is that they must remain standing until the lights cease to flash." By observing these simple rules of courtesy and safe driving motorists afford the best possible protection to children," the commissioner said. Last year there were 326 traffic accidents involving school buses transporting pupils. Four persons, two of them students, were killed in these collisions. "We can never be sure what children may do, for many times they aren't sure themselves until it has happened. The California Highway Patrol will do everything possible to see the children back to school safely, but motorists must help too. Drive carefully and obey the rules," Caldwell said.
