OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Well, another Hallowe'en has come and gone, with the usual varied reaction to the annual parade. Some observers gushed praises of the affair; some thought it was nothing to get up in the night about; some were merely noncommittal. The great majority, however, approved. Congratulations are due all those who worked for its success. According to reports, mischievousness (vandallism, as the sheriff terms it) was practically nil in Anaheim this Halloween. Having not been here Hallowe'en night, I would hesitate to contest the validity of these reports. I live over near Garden Grove (the Weed Capitol of the World.) It seems that the biggest prank perpetrated this year was the switching of all the Anaheim telephone numbers. I tried to call a dry cleaning establishment Monday and got the county Animal Shelter, who said they weren't interested. It was fascinating to observe the little tots on their "trick or treat" rounds. We bought 100 candy suckers, figuring that would suffice for the evening, allowing one sucker to each cute little tyke who rattled the door. They lasted about an hour, and a hurried trip to the grocery store was necessitated for the procurance of a peck of candy kisses to round out the evening. One kid, about a six-year-old, when presented with the candy, 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM Local Industry Back St. Jud A recommendation that full Angheim support be ing fund campaign came this week from the Anaheim I n the project. The letter signed by Adolf Schoepe of Kwikset Le Horn Co., and Ernest Ganahl of Ganahl Lum-ber Co., for Knowland is Forum Speaker December 3 Senator William F. Knowland of California, majority leader of the United States Senate, will speak at Fullerton Public Forum on Thursday evening, Dec. 3, at 7:30 o'clock. It was announced this week by Walter Pray. The meeting will be open to the public free of charge in Fullerton Union High School auditorium. Recently returned from a tour of Asia and the Near East, Knowland will discuss foreign as well as domestic affairs. He took over the important posi- "We believe that there is go al agreement in Anaheim that studies and events of the past months prove there is an im mate need for a new major host in Northern Orange County." "The logical and hard fact the situation more and more cate that the most favorable portunity for filling this need mediately is through support the St. Jude Hospital moven which would construct a host on Spadra Road within three rof Anaheim. "Of course, we all have a pipal interest in Anaheim's pitial requirements. St. Jude only would provide adequate litles for Anaheim residents." It was fascinating to observe the little tots on their "trick or treat" rounds. We bought 100 candy suckers, figuring that would suffice for the evening, allotting one sucker to each cute little tyke who rattled the door. They lasted about an hour, and a hurried trip to the grocery store was necessitated for the procurance of a peck of candy kisses to round out the evening. One kid, about a six-year-old, when presented with the candy, just said "sucker." I still ponder over whether he had a question mark or an exclamation point after that word. Just for the fun of it, I told one trio of little gnomes that I would give them nothing, and dared them to "trick." The challenge was not returned. They were mute and stricken. Each got a peanut. This all goes to prove that modern kids know nothing of that lost art of Hallowe'en roistering from which we oldsters once derived so much satisfaction. Modern plumbing, of course, has robbed Hallowe'en of its supreme delight. The person who has missed the estatic thrill of running up an alley in pitch dark to elude a furious householder just deprived of the use one of his most utilitarian outbuildings, just hasn't lived. Juvenile delinquency" is a term that is widely used these days and is applied to situations which grandma regarded as "just plain orneriness" and which dad quelled by immediate and spirited applications of a leather belt to the bottom of the matter. Sometimes we are prone to be too severe with our younger generation. Kids should be allowed to be kids, and when they run afoul of grown-up dictates we should remember that we are, after all, just grown-up kids. However, I would like to have a neighborly over-the-back-fence chat with the parents of the kid or kids who showed some brilliant thinking on Hallowe'en by somehow getting up on our roof and dropping two tom-cats, tied tail-to-tail, down our chimney. This was a vile, unspeakable act. We already had three cats. Incidentally, there is absolutely no truth to the gossip that Lavrenti Beria, the ousted Russian police chief, was in the Anaheim Hallowe'en parade disguised as a the United States Senate, will speak at Fullerton Public Forum on Thursday evening, Dec. 3, at 7:30 o'clock, it was announced this week by Walter Pray. The meeting will be open to the public free of charge in Fullerton Union High School auditorium. Recently returned from a tour of Asia and the Near East, Knowland will discuss foreign as well as domestic affairs. He took over the important position of majority leader in the nation's upper house after the death of Senator Robert Taft last July. Early this year he became chairman of the Republican policy committee. Former Bank Cashier Dies Charles W. Githens, 69, a native of Randall, Kansas, who eight years ago came to northern Orange county and established a home at 109 W. South st., died suddenly Monday night while seated in the living room. He had not been ill and was stricken without warning. He was a cashier in the former Southern County bank. He is survived by his wife, Bessie M. Githens; one daughter, Mrs. Gladys Dowell of Portland, Oregon; two sons, Loyd H. of Fullerton and Floyd R. Githens of Coffey, Mo.; one brother, Noah N. Githens of Missouri, and three grandchildren. He was a member of the White Temple Methodist church. Funeral rites were held today (Thursday) in Hilgenfeld mortuary with the Rev. Frank Butterworth officiating. Interment followed in Anaheim cemetery. Anaheim Mother Colony Hospital Association should be reported to provide it with strength and resources to ensure it to be in a position to send Anaheim and Environs with a pital or emergency clinic-hospital facilities when additional capita may be warranted. It might be from five to ten years depend on the local population growth before the Anaheim area needs hospital the size of St. Jude's St. Joseph. Support of the St. Jude Hospital now should be no hindrance to the Mother Colony objective since St. Jude has an unusual fine opportunity to be function within a reasonable time and amply serve us while Anaheim hospital needs are developing. Among its backers, St. Jude has large financial pledges for the oil industry; and certainly most important consideration has a qualified operator with trained staff already in residence. The operating group has pledged one-third of the hospital fund which is a considerable impetus to the movement. This operating group also should be able to obtain finance credits if needed, which will permit them to obtain money to complete the project. This money can be repaid out of income when the hospital is functioning. We feel, also, it is proper reiterate that some contribute believe the present is an excellent time to give support at low cost due to the tax picture which scheduled to change December 1953. The undersigned are among the many Anaheim businessmen interested in the proper planning and obtaining of hospital facilities in this area over the years ahead. THE REV. BOB ESTUS (To. Conduct Series) Baptist Service Series to Begin "This is Life" is the theme of the annual evangelistic campaign of the First Baptist church, Broadway at Citron, which is to begin this Sunday and continue each evening, except Monday, at 7:30 o'clock.

St. Boniface Sets Program by Pupils Pupils of St. Boniface Parochial school are presenting a program in the school yard on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m., in recognition of American Education Week, sponsored by the American Legion. Turkey Today' Is Forum Topic In a lifetime crowded with accomplishments in many fields, Henry H. Hart has achieved distinction in all of them. Hart will be the lecturer Monday night, Nov. 9, in the regular forum meeting sponsored by Anaheim UniHigh School. "Turkey Today"' will be the topic of this noted authoritative scholar, authority on Asiatic cultures, historian, work traveler and linguist. A trip to the Far East more than thirty years ago whetted his interest in the people of the Orient. Thirteen subsequent journeys to Asia as well as four extended trips to Europe have made Hart a lifetime student of the cultures of many lands.

Musick as chairman of the March of Dimes campaign in Orange county next January was announced today by John McKittrick, chairman of the Orange County chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Sheriff Musick will direct the March of Dimes drive that opens Jan. 2 and lasts through the month as the local chapter conducts its annual fund-raising campaign for the help of poliomyelitis victims. "I have accepted the task of heading the March of Dimes campaign because of my profound belief in the merit of the work being done by this organization," Sheriff Musick said. "I know that my own feelings about the cause, represented by the March of Dimes, is shared universally by the citizens of Orange county. Therefore, I am sure that we will get the response we need for this great work.

The first, a dinner meeting at Fullerton's Cirque, saw the distribution of manuals outlining the organization and conduct of the drive. In addition to the manual, Harvey Stonehouse, general chairman of the committee, presented a timetable. Two primary dates were Nov. 15, at which time advance-contacts will be made with major business and industrial concerns, and Dec. 2, which will mark the start of general community drives. The second meeting was held in Anaheim's St. Boniface Hall last Tuesday morning for the purpose of seeing the sketches and plans submitted by John W. Maloney and Tebor Freesz, architects. Frezesz is the architect in charge of the project while Maloney heads the firm in Seattle. Wallace W. McDonald, resident architect and engineer, was also present. Tentative plans call for a multiple story building of the latest design and with the best modern equipment. By "stacking" the floors a substantial amount of money can be saved in construction, plumbing, and similar installations as well as in maintenance and operation. A cost estimate will be submitted at a later date. County Can Solve Own Water Puzzle, Chamber Men Say Contending that Orange county can handle her own water problems best, and can avoid unwanted federal control thereby, directors of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county this week unanimously approved a resolution asking the county to prepare a master plan of water conservation and flood control. The Chamber directors maintained that any dams or reservoirs built in the future should be dual-purpose, for both flood control and water conservation. Carbon Canyon dam, proposed long ago to handle runoff water that threatens North Orange Property Owners Object to Union Hall; Planners Turn Down Variance A union proposal to build a hall and office building at the northwest corner of Ball rd. and Los Angeles st. received rough treatment at the hands of neighboring property owners last Monday before the Anaheim Planning com. Anaheim Damped By .08 Inch Rain The parched ground of Anaheim and its environs were dampened slightly Wednesday evening by a rain that measured .08 of an inch at the Orange County Agricultural Dept. Station on S. Palm street. Citizens' Group Votes to Control AUHS Materials Students at Anaheim Union High school will be free in the future to study publications regarding "friendly" political philosophies, but will find no materials available in the school on the governments and beliefs of those opposed to the American way of life. That was the upshot of a meeting of the Anaheim Citizens' committee at AUHS Tuesday evening when the group voted to banish materials presenting teachings of any political philosophy opposed to the beliefs of Western Democracy. An amendment to the proposal, submitted by C. O. Garshwiler, Toastmaster representative, which would have retained clearly labeled materials on opposition philosophies, was defeated by the committee. Garshwiler's amendment proposed that materials advocating or glorifying socialism or communism be banned, but the clause was not sufficient to carry through the other amendments. Sheriff James Musick said. "I know that my own feelings about the cause, represented by the March of Dimes, is shared universally by the citizens of Orange county. Therefore, I am sure that we will get the response we need for this great work. Since this year, the need is greater than before." Sheriff James Musick (Polio Fund Chairman) fore, I am confident the request will be greater, because I confidence in the people of county." of the Associated Chambers of Commerce of Orange county this week unanimously approved a resolution asking the county to prepare a master plan of water conservation and flood control. The Chamber directors maintained that any dams or reservoirs built in the future should be dual-purpose, for both flood control and water conservation. Carbon Canyon dam, proposed long ago to handle runoff water that threatens North Orange county cities during heavy rainstorms, was specifically named by the directors as an ideal dual-purpose project. Previous proposals regarding Carbon Canyon have stressed only the flood control feature, but the directors stated that water conservation aspects are becoming increasingly important in the county and should be given due consideration. The resolution is expected to come before the board of supervisors Nov. 10. Mrs. K. H. Mier Dies at Home Mrs. Katharine H. Mier, 71, a native of Montana, died Sunday at her home, 505 S. Ohio st.

Recitation of the Holy Rosary was held Wednesday and requiem mass today (Thursday) in St. Boniface church. Interment followed in Holy Sepulchre cemetery. An amendment to the proposal, submitted by C. O. Garshwiler, Toastmaster representative, which would have retained clearly labeled materials on opposition philosophies, was defeated by the committee. Garshwiler's amendment proposed that materials advocating or glorifying socialism or communism be banned, but the clause was not sufficient to carry through the other portion of the amendment. The committee voted, on Garshwiler's motion, to adopt the following "yardstick" for determining which materials should be abandoned: "What is subversive (should) be (determined) by the reports of the various State of California investigation committees on education and subversive activities and the various Federal Un-American Activities committee findings." Attending the meeting were the AUHS board of trustees, Paul Demaree, superintendent of the high school district, and about 30 spectators and members of the citizens committee. Motorcyclist Hurt In Collision Here Leo Arthur Coming, 25, 2221 Blanchard ave., Anaheim, was seriously hurt Wednesday afternoon when his motorcycle collided with a car driven by James Cain, 65, 319 Kroeger st., Anaheim. Coming was riding west on Center st., and Cain was driving south on East st., when the accident occurred at the intersection of the two streets. Coming, a Southern California Edison employee, lost consciousness following the accident from loss of blood. His head sustained severe injuries. He was taken to Orange County hospital. The drain is part of an overland plan which will ultimately control the Carbon Canyon flood water completely with dams, reservoirs and diversions. The Planning commission asked by Thompson to beginceedings to reclassify Los Angeles st., between Ball rd. and Vernet st., to C-1 classification. He added that a 60-foot setback off Los geles st. be provided for wideand a parking-landscape zone. The variance requested by mund N. Demler of 7312 S. Acct.st. to permit the construction four buildings for chick hatch and egg holding on his farm approved. Approval was also given the riance requested by L. B.

Community Chest Reaches 99.3 per Cent of Fund Goal Anaheim Community Chest is nearing the tape in its race to be the first Orange county city to reach the 1953 goal. The Chest now contains 99.3 per cent of the goal of $31,049. Paul Cook, who headed the drive with Arthur Shipkey, reported in Tuesday night's board meeting that cash on hand represents $3 per cent of the goal and pledges account for the remainder. Cook praised all workers who volunteered their services and said he believes the early selection of key workers was a contributing factor to the success of the drive. He paid special tribute to Mayor Charles Pearson and E. J. Power for their work on advance gifts and payroll deduction plans for Anaheim industry. A vote of thanks was given Joe Catanich, executive director of Orange County Federated Community Chests for his assistance in the Anaheim drive. Catanich told the board that Anaheim's campaign is far ahead of any others in the county. Though most campaigns began later than in Anaheim, they have not reached as far toward their goals as had Anaheim at the same point in the campaign, he said. The quarterly allocation for five agencies was made. Children's hos Pioneer Doctor's Son Celebrates 50th Anniversary Cards were received here this week announcing the 50th wedding anniversary of Col. and Mrs. Neill Edwards Bailey of Sam Antonio, Texas, by the colonel's sister, Mrs. Henry Kuchel of 315 S. Claudina st., Anaheim. Col. Bailey, son of the late Dr. George Bailey, a pioneer Anaheim physician, spent his boyhood here. He met his wife, the former Miss Gertrude von Gundel, during the Spanish-American war while he was stationed at Atlanta, Ga. They were married there on Nov. 10, 1903, and during the long and distinguished career of Col. Bailey in the U.S. Army, they have lived in many parts of the world.

Bernard Flynn, 9891 S. Los Annes st., wanted to know if the building would be used as a hiring center with unemployed members engaging about during the day. Kurbatoff replied that dispatching done by phone and dues are paid by mail, and the Santa Ana building hall would be retained, so there would be no hangers about. David Collins, 9952 S. Los Annes st., who lives across the street from the site, wasn't convinced and pointed out that there would be no guarantee that at the time in the future the hall did not be used for hiring. Kurbatoff said it would not be used for hiring, but would occasionally be used for meetings. Collins then asked that a "park and landscape" zone require it be written into the variance granted. However, the variance was unanimously rejected by the planning on the motion of Commissioner Joe R. Thompson. Thomp recommended a survey looking at reclassification of the area due to satisfaction of all property owners. The Planning commission was led by Thompson to begin projections to reclassify Los Angeles between Ball rd. and Vermont C-1 classification. He asked a 60-foot setback off Los Annes st. be provided for widening a parking-landscape zone. The variance requested by Ed N. Demler of 7312 S.

County Allocated $270,318.75 from Highway Tax Fund SACRAMENTO — County road funds will be richer this month by $13,864,990 as the actual apportionment of the Highway Users Tax Fund is made. State Controller Robert C. Kirkwood revealed today. Orange county receives total apportionments for the three months' period ended Sept. 30 of $270,-318,75; Kirkwood pointed out.

The number of permits issued to date last year was 5143; this year the total is 7872 permits. SENATOR VISITS HERE Mrs. Henry Kuchel, 315 S. Clau- KVOE to Broadcast AUHS-FUHS Game Football enthusiasts of Orange county who are not able to attend the Anaheim - Fullerton game in Fullerton stadium Friday, Nov. 6, will have an opportunity to hear it broadcast over radio station KVOE, 1480 on the dial, it was announced this week by Donn Spencer. Hal Davis will be at the mike in Fullerton stadium. The game begins at 7:30 p.m. Colonist - Indian Tussle Friday May Decide Sunset League Champs Anaheim Colonist will probably be favorites by just a shade tonight (Friday) when they invade the Fullerton Indians' stadium at 7:30 o'clock. The game may be appropriately labeled "crucial" since, in addition to bringing the traditional Anaheim-Fullerton rivalry into the open, the game probably will decide the championship of the Sunset league this year. The two teams shared the championship last year, each ending the season with three victories and two ties. The Colonists rule as favorites by virtue of the extremely small margins of one scoring point for the season and a consistently strong running attack. Santa Ana is the only factor which could conceivably take the league championship away from either Anaheim or Fullerton. Santa Angela, well as the Colonists and Indians, have won two of their league games. Anaheim is ahead of Fullerton championship-wise, taking the title in 1939, 1940, 1941 and 1951 and sharing the title twice; with Santa Ana and Excelsior in 1943 and with Fullerton last year. The Indians were champs in 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1950 and shared the crown once—with Anaheim last year. One source of Anaheim's consistently displayed power this year, both offensively and defensively, is its ten letter-men only five of whom are seniors. Two were All-Sunset last year—Fullback Dean Philpott on the first team and Guard Mike Troop, who received honorable mention. Colonist Coach Clare van Hoorebeke is now in his fourth year with AUHS and has not lost a league game in the past three years since the Fullerton championship of 1950.
