OBLONG VIEWS [From an Egg-Shaped Head] By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. AN OLD-FASHIONED American institution which has well nigh gone the way of the dodo bird, the Passenger pigeon, and the one dollar dollar is the hayride. And I think I know why. There is much to be said for a quiet, sedate ride over tranquil country roads in a gently creaking hay-rack behind two spirited bays in the moonlight. And an old-time box social preceding the ride provides that added fillip to the entire affair. To say nothing of graceful waltzing beneath spreading chestnut trees before a crackling log fire to top off the evening, moonlight and firelight blending to accentuate the swaying couples lost in the magic spell of the soft recorded music of Harry Reazer and his Rushville Road Apples. Your much-maligned correspondent is indebted to the Anaheim Jaycettes, auxiliary group of the Junior Chamber of Commerce for such a pleasant experience last Saturday night, out at the Chandler Ranch over near Orange or someplace. The Chandlers are equipped to provide a wonderful time for groups bent on an outdoor evening barbecue, picnic or square dance. There were some bent ones in our party. They've got horses all over the place out there, ponies for the kids to ride, and the hay wagon is driven by one of the stunning blonde Chandler girls. 02 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY Complete Mother Colony Hospital Assn.

Chest Volunteers Invade Cypress Area this Week Property Owners To Contest Ball Road Annexation Twelve residents of the Ball rd. Annexation No. 2 area, comprising about 500 acres southwest of Anaheim, have filed suit in Superior Court to set aside the Aug. 11 annexation election, charging nine absentee ballots were "illegal and fraudulent." The ballot count after the election showed 43 for annexation, 50 against. The absentee ballots changed the tally to 52 for annexation and 51 against. In the petition, filed by Atty. James E. Walker of Santa Ana, it was claimed that the city council and City Clerk Charles E. Griffith "committed gross mistakes" and that the absentee ballots were issued "contrary to law." Anaheim city council adopted the ordinance for annexation Sept. 8. The law will become effective Oct. 8 if the city clerk is permitted to forward a copy of the ordinance to the secretary of state and property owners in the subject area will become subject to Anaheim city taxes and a portion of the city's bonded indebtedness. The petitioners claimed they will suffer "irreparable damage" if the city is permitted to go through with the annexation. A writ of review was issued by Judge Franklin G. West and a hearing on a plea for an injunction was set for 2 p.m., Oct. 1. The petitioners are H. G. Carrion. Chest Volunteers Invade Cypress Area this Week Forty volunteer workers the week began solicitation of Cypress area for Anaheim Community Chest.

Philip Selfridge will be in charge of residential collections. Miss Elizabeth Dickerson is in charge of school collections. Kelley told the volunteers that Cypress children last year received $222 in free hospital care from one agency in the Anaheim chest, the Children's Hospital. "For four years the people in Cypress have received assistance worth four times the amount donated to the chest from Cypress," he said. "This year we plan to take care of our own and hold up our end of the giving." Drives also began this week in Stanton, under the direction of Mrs. Royal Marten and Mrs. Verne Neher; in Los Alamitos under Jack Weaver and Jack Beard; in Katella area under the direction of Young Hammett Wayne Butterbaugh of Savanna school is general chairman of the suburban residential drive. YMCA Training Session Slated YMCA club leaders and prospective leaders are invited to the leaders dinner and training session next Wednesday, Sept. 30, at 6:00 p.m., according to John E. Bertch, general secretary of the YMCA. A special tacos dinner will be prepared by Luis and Charlotte Sandoval. Luis is a member of the Y board and Charlotte has been a leader of one of the Tri-Hi-Y clubs. Following dinner and fellowship a planning and training session will be held to help the leaders And now the home is such a closely-knit and self-sufficient cell that we can have bushels of saur kraut in the deep-freeze, gallons of commercially-made apple cider (horrible stuff) lining the kitchen shelves, and if you were to ask the modern housewife to make apple butter she would turn three shades whiter and back slowly away. We are so busy staring dully at that one-eyed electronic monster over there on the other side of the living room, heeding the insistent jangle of the telephone, scrabbling to make monthly payments on an expensive automobile which we had no business "renting" in the first place, crawling to work every morning in an attempt to keep up with the Jonesses, mowing lawns, pulling weeds, spooning greenbacks into the ravenous maw of the finance company, that we are rapidly losing the art of real living. Better to die as a bum at 85 than to try living like an aristocrat and croak at 50 of hypertension, arteriosclerosis and perforated ulcers superinduced by a progressive advance of the dry warbles. Anybody for a five-year trip to the South Seas in a 38-foot lugger?

John Shea, Named Fifth Superior Judge in County Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Judge John Shea will occupy the bench of Orange county's fifth Superior Court department. News of Governor Earl Warren's appointment of the young Anaheim judge to the post was received here last Thursday. Named by the governor to replace Judge Shea in Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal court was Ronald Tiday, 39, Garden Grove attorney. If arrangements can be worked out in time, Judge Shea will be sworn in as Superior Court judge sometime today. The shift was delayed by delivery of the formal commissions to the two judges and by the fact that Judge Tiday required a short "break-in" period on the duties of Municipal Court judge. Since creation of the fifth Superior Court department, Judge Shea has been regarded as the number one contender for the post. He was justice of the peace of Anaheim Township before the reorganization of the county courts last January and he was elected to the Municipal Court Judgeship in the 1952 primary. He JOHN SHEA (New Superior Judge) Judge Shea's court may be held Neighboring Police Depts.

Wingard ordered the dance closed because of lewd and obscene actions he had observed on the part of some of the dancers. The crowd left the dance hall peacefully, but massed outside the building and began menacing the officers. When the crowd failed to disperse upon command, policemen from Anaheim, Fullerton, Brea, Buena Park, La Habra and the sheriff's office were summoned. When they arrived, the mob disbanded. Two persons were booked for failing to leave at the command of the police. They were Paul G. Rivera, 19, of Atwood and Arthur Cordero, 32, of Chino. Only casualty during the fracas was a police car which was hit by a bottle thrown from the mob. Earlier this week, another mob of about 65 persons massed about a patrolman's car after he had arrested two persons for drunkenness. Neighboring police departments helped break up that disorder, also.
