Anaheim Telephone OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. This unexcelled column of brilliant persiflage was omitted from last week's Gazette through the oversight of the man who "makes-up Page 1. A column entitled: "Incidence of Fratricide Among Sand Crabs in Outer Mongolia" was ordered "killed," and when the make-up man threw that one away, this one went with it. It was a good column, too. The title was simply: "Why?" Public reaction to the column's absence last week was both spontaneous and electrifying. There was a thunderous silence. But you may be sure that this unfortunate omission will not recur. The scapegoat responsible for it has been properly disciplined and is not apt to repeat his error. At 2:15 a.m. Tuesday, while the moon was partially obscured, he was quietly fed into the press. According to the papers, a certain red-haired international adventurer walls that she is practically broke and can't make ends. 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM Hallowe'en Br African Bishop Addresses Girls Of Marywood Hi A man who conducts his work among the uncertainties of the Mau Mait terrorism in Kenya Colony, British East Africa, Tuesday related some of his experiences to the students of Marywood Central High school. The Rt. Rev. Frederick Hall, a member of the Mill Hill Society But you may be sure that this unfortunate omission will not recur. The scapegoat responsible for it has been properly disciplined and is not apt to repeat his error. At 2:15 a.m. Tuesday, while the moon was partially obscured, he was quietly fed into the press. According to the papers, a certain red-haired international adventurer wails that she is practically broke, and can't make ends meet on $9,000 a year. This must be heart-wrenching to those of you who are forced to scrabble along on $6,000. This great actress also stated in the press that she didn't want the Moslems to take over the religious training of her little afterthought. The mother said she wanted the child to be raised as a Christian. Pardon me while I step out back and retch awhile. For the past four months a great peace and quietude had rested upon our household. There was no TV. But at long last yielding to the concerted pressure of mother and child, I was forced to buy another set. No more languld evenings with good books and magazines. I thought perhaps that television might have improved just a little. Surely the commercials would be shorter. Certainly, I ventured to hope, the advertising executives of the far-flung TV empire (which hasn't been fungar enough) would get together and face the fact that the great American consuming public is not made up entirely of 8-year-olds and half-wits. But I was too optimistic. In the past week I have seen women washing their hair in new wonder-working shampoos; any number of hammy announcer-actors guzzling beer; astounding "government-backed" claims about the superlative health-saying qualities of a certain brand of cigarette; and even, yet, a gal washing unmentionables with a new kind of detergent. This is cultural? TV today seems to be a hukster's pitching device entirely surrounded by nothing. Memo to the Hollywood Big Wheels: Don't get too skittish about TV (a form of entertainment.) Just put out some good pictures. Cinamascope, Cinerama, 3-D and the wide-screen stuff may A man who conducts his work among the uncertainties of the Mau Matt terrorism in Kenya Colony, British East Africa, Tuesday related some of his experiences to the students of Marywood Central High school. The Rt. Rev. Frederick Hall, a member of the Mill Hill Society in England and Bishop of the diocese of Kisumu in Kenya, was the speaker. Of the Mau Maus and their uprising, he said, "Their tenet of 'Africa for the Africans and all foreigners out' can work havoc if they are permitted to continue their riots." So far, the bishop said, he has not experienced any great difficulty with them. The Bishop's diocese comprises 37 missions extending over an area of almost 6000 square miles. He visits them each year and reported confirming groups of nearly 1000 natives in each mission. Under him serve 108 priests, eight of them native Africans, and 120 African sisters. The diocese maintains an orphanage and a leprosarium, both absolutely necessary in the area. The Bishop told of the African custom which forbids one mother to feed the child of another mother, dooming to abandonment the child whose mother dies in childbirth. Hence the need for an orphanage manned by sisters who do not adhere to the custom. Polio Strikes Linda Casto; In no Danger Linda Casto 8, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Casto of 13922 Orangewood ave., Anaheim, was rushed to Orange County hospital from her Third grade class at Katella school Tuesday with a case of non-paralytic polio. This morning Dr. Sidney Adler reported her fever abated and her chances of returning home this weekend excellent. Meantime, her Third grade classmates at Katella school are being isolated from other pupils and will be watched closely until Nov. 10 for symptoms of the disease. Optimist Kids Matinee Club Adopts Eight Year-Old Korean Orphan Boy A whole crew of Anaheim Memo to the Hollywood Big Wheels: Don't get too skittish about TV (a form of entertainment.) Just put out some good pictures. Cinamascope, Cinerama, 3-D and the wide-screen stuff may be fine, but a good movie on an old-fashioned, flat screen will suffice. If you think it is necessary to throw things at the audience, instruct your theatre managers to open the proceedings by hurling a head of cabbage out into the assemblage, then get on with a good picture. We take the liberty to quote from Kwikset Ink, a house organ of not inconsiderable stature in Southern California industrial literary circles: "It is hard to believe there is a company anywhere which has a prettier group of girls than the ones we have here at Kwikset." Personal note to the editor of Ink: Ever hear of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer? Material for a newspaper column is derived from many and varied sources, including even the county dump. While down there Sunday afternoon throwing away an old teakwood chest which had become slightly soiled, I picked up a letter dated Sept. 23, 1927, written by a person in Long Beach to a party in Santa Ana. Having only recently traversed a good part of 101 Highway through the Redwood Empire, these lines in the letter were of special interest: "The wife and I took a trip up the Redwood Highway this year—thru Humboldt county. O, those trees are wonderfull. It was a little too crowded to suit me..." (Continued on Page 5) Optimist Kids Matinee Club Adopts Eight Year-Old Korean Orphan Boy A whole crew of Anaheim youthsters are "Mom" and "Pea" to 8 year-old Ui Kil Sung of Pleasant South Korea. The juvenile "foster parents" are members of the Anaheim Optimist Kiddie Matinee club, which meets each Saturday morning in the Flower Theater to view motion pictures and other entertainment and conduct their business under the joint sponsorship of the local Optimist club. Anaheim merchants and the Fox theater. Their adoption of Ui Kil Sung was announced this week through Foster Parents' Plan for Wakefield Children Inc., 55 W. 42nd st., New York City 36. According to Plan officials, the Anaheim children's group is the first to "adopt" a child in a native-wide drive to secure help for needy children in Europe and Korea. Les Mitchel of 239 W. Central St., will act as secretary for the group. Ui Kil Sung is the son of a Korean railway worker of comfortable means. After his father's death and at the time of the Communist attack in June 1950, his mother fled with him and his brother to Seoul, where the mother died. Later, Ui Kil Sung fled with his sister-in-law, Su Chung Ok, Pusan, where they have eked out a miserable existence on the proceeds of Su Chung Ok's sewing. The "adoption" of Ui Kil Sung is strictly financial, not legal. Plan officials feel that the friendship and love extended by Anaheim children will help to give him the assurance and hope, as well as material things, that Ui Kil Sung so badly needs. ephone Prefixes to Ch OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM HEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1970 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1953 'en Breakfast Tickets on Sale Sale Limited to 2000; Costumes Required to Attend Early Revelry today that Ticket Sales Chairman Two thousand tickets are on sale for one of the most famous breakfasts in America, the Anaheim Hallowe'en costume breakfast.

Forum goers to Anaheim High school will hear Herbert Knapp and see his production of Denmark and Sweden, which color film critics term "Scandinavia at its best." Denmark and Sweden is a Knapp camera cruise to two of the happiest and best managed countries in today's troubled world. By a visit to Sweden's Baltic island of Gotland, Knapp follows his custom of including a "surprise package," the coverage of an extremely interesting, but little known part of the country. In the Denmark portion of the film-lecture will be presented Kronborg castle, the Elsinore of Shakespeare's "Hamlet;" Odense, the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen; Ribe, a miniature world with its own honored guests—storks; Copenhagen, a city of 700,000 bicycles and also famous for its food and fun; and a thousand years of history with a fairy tale flavor. In the portion devoted to Sweden are many interesting features: Sweden's "white coal" and "green gold;" Darlaana, where old customs linger on; Holmon Locks, where little ships climb a mountain; Trollhattan, where waterfalls are turned on and off; medieval walled city of Visby thriving community in the maze of Scandinavia's most remarkable historical remains. As usual, all forums are open to the general public without charge. The film-lecture on Denmark Sweden will be presented Mon night, 7:30 p.m. in the Anahale Union High school auditorium.

NEW BOOK OF NUMBERS — Pacific Telephone's Pat Sawaya, clerk in the company's directory department, gives a preview of the new Orange county telephone directory. Largest ever distributed here, the new book of numbers contains 7000 more listings than last year's issue. Chamber Withholds Support From St. Jude Fund Drive Group Favors Support by Individuals Asking the Chamber of Commerce board of directors that it be discharged, having completed the task assigned it, the Hospital committee of the Anaheim Chamber last week recommended that the local organization confine its official support to the Mother Colony Hospital Association. The board acted favorably upon the recommendation. However, the committee also recommended that "the St. Jude hospital merits individual support" of members of the Anaheim Chamber. The committee congratulated the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Northern Orange County Hospital Building Association "for the progress they have made towards the construction of St. Jude's hospital on the Sunny Hills site, a project which should go far toward meeting the immediate needs of Northern Orange county." In support of their recommendation withholding official support of the local organization, the Hallowe’en Gets Kicked Off this A.M. at Breakfast Anaheim’s hectic annual Hallowe’en season was kicked off to a booming start this morning at 8 o’clock when local residents leaning to a sartorial theme of orange and black gathered at the Elks club for breakfast. Bob Wurgaft, general chairman of this year’s celebration, presided at the breakfast, which annually signals the donning of orange shirts and black neckties. It also signifies the beginning of the last bit of intense organizational work by committees to ensure a smooth running, enjoyable Hallowe’en festival. City Official Sees Population of 50,000 for Anaheim in 10 Years “I believe within ten years the population of Anaheim will be about 50,000 providing the economical picture stays as at present,” said W. F. Friday, assistant administrative officer, as he addressed a meeting of the Business and Professional Women’s club last week. Since the present estimated population stands at 22,500, Friday foresees problems connected with future growth. Among these are furnishing utilities, drainage, flood control, sewerage, street surfacing, and the extra burden on police, fire, street engineering departments of the city as annexation continues and subdivisions increase. Priday’s address was the highlight of the BPW meeting held in the Garden room of Knott’s berry farm in celebration of Business and Professional Women’s week as proclaimed by Mayor Pearson. Mrs. Emma Lawrence, public affairs chairman, was in charge of arrangements. The next meeting of the group will be a costume Halloween party on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at the Optimist club house. The grand parade will start festivities at 8 o’clock.
