OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. The Christmas card industry, which is getting more crassly commercial every year, may as well face it. I am buying no cards this year. Instead of the usual Christmas greeting, we are sending out a letter following substantially the following text, printed in green ink on white paper and surrounded by a red holly border. We shall send them to our dozen friends back home, then sit back and wait for the House of Hallmark to crumble into dust. This is a sorry commentary on the frailty of human nature that most communications between old acquaintances are limited to casual and impersonal Christmas cards or frantic supplications for money when we are in dire financial straits. At this time we don't necessarily want any of your money nor do we want to add to your accumulation of Christmas cards. We just want to wish you health, happiness, and a good new year. God knows we don't want anything like the last one. To give you a quick run-down on our particular status, we are now ensconced in a dwelling at 12832 Strawberry Lane, Garden Grove, California (the Weed Capitol of the Golden West.) The house consists of two bedrooms, bath, huddling room, kitchen and back stoop. We managed to finagle a Veteran's Administration loan for this lean-to, after exhaustive examination, cross-examination and review. New Shopping Center Proposal Approved by Planning Commission A change in zoning that would allow installation of commercial shopping center on 10 lots at the northeast corner of N. Placentia ave. and Anaheim-Olive rd., was approved Tuesday by the Anaheim Planning Commission. St. Jude Fund Drive Kicks off Eighty captains, volunteer workers and well-wishers met Tuesday for a luncheon as guests of the Fullerton Assistance League to formally open the Fullerton community campaign for the St. Jude Hospital fund. Highlights of the kick-off lunchoon, held in the Assistance League Hall, 226 W. Amerige ave., was presentation of a $1,600 check by the league to the hospital fund. Presenting the check was Mrs. Marjorie De Land, league president. It was accepted by C. Stanley Chapman, chairman of the Fullerton community drive. The money represented proceeds from the sale of tickets to the league's lecture series, featuring Mrs. Georgia Hardy, well-known television personality and book reviewer. At the meeting, Walter Pray, public relations committee chairman, told the "St. Jude Story," pointing out the need for more hospital beds. He said inadequate hospital facilities is one of the most critical problems facing residents of northern Orange county. The commission's action will go to the proposed will go to the council-with the planners' recommendation that it be approved. In expressing their approval the reclassification request of Bill Co. Inc., of 160 N. Placentia Ave., Anaheim, the planners on record as favoring the proposed suburban commercial city which will include a supermarket, drug store, barber shop and other neighborhood shops. The Bill Co., subdividers lots in the parcel between Ester St., and Anaheim-Olive rd. of Placentia Ave., originally needed to use a portion of the lot for commercial purposes. The pany then revised its plans changed the tracts to all a family dwellings. Marks Return Tuesday's reclassification made a return by the company to original plans of incorporation neighborhood commercial city in the westerly 10 lots. The property is currently R-1 and company officials seeking the change to C-1, new neighborhood commercial. The Bill proposes to build common buildings. There are approximately 793 homes in the vicinity was pointed out! At Tuesday's session a borough addressed to the commission... We managed to finagle a Veteran's Administration loan for this lean-to, after exhaustive examination, cross-examination and inquiry. Fact is, every once in a while (even yet) we see a government man across the street behind a bush peering over our way through a surplus war-assets stroboscope, or something, just to keep us in line. And somewhere on the fringes, there lurks the representative of a finance company with ice water coursing through his veins. Our son, Billy, eight years old this December 14, is getting along famously at school, where he is in grade three. We will never forget the time we enrolled him in this grade. "My, what a striking child," said his teacher, just after Billy struck her on the shin with an 18-inch length of gas pipe. But we do love Bill and just for something special we are not requiring him to work at the laundry on Christmas day. During the past year I have worked at the Anaheim Gazette (a newspaper) where my services are always appreciated and remarked upon. Every morning when I show up for work there is comment. The boss says, "oh, no, not HIM again!" Although some would lead you to believe that all residents of Southern California drive Cadillacs and reach out the kitchen window every morning to yank oranges off lush trees, don't you believe it. The only Cadillac I've run into in the last month was owned by a Pasadena orthodontist, and it cost me plenty. As for the oranges, we still pay 29 cents a dozen for the things at markets, and they are about as succulent as old parcelled goulashes. We have two orange trees on our lot, and they produce nothing but confusion. People out of the state also are prone to play uno the earthquake danger here. This is purely and simply anti-California propaganda. (Pry the piano off of grandmother, dear. The quake's over for a few minutes.) Naval Reserve Men Promoted Thirty-three members of Naval Reserve Surface Division 11-3 and 11-5 were promoted this week at the Naval Reserve Training Center, Los Alamitos (Long Beach), by successfully passing written examinations in the Eleventh Naval District. These men receive regular training in the Naval Reserve by attending weekly drills and completing two week training cruise annually. In addition these men have shown by actual demonstration that they can perform certain professional skills of their ratings. From Anaheim Several hundred young men are attached to these two fine divisions which stand first and second respectively in the Eleventh Naval District. There are thirty-seven Surface Divisions in the Southwest section of California. The following men have all been promoted to the rank of Seaman Apprentice: Flovd D. Baker, 817 W. Broadway; E. V. Keeley, 543 S. Ohio; Harold A. Heinrich 403 S. Philadelphia; R.G.Knox, 9611 S. Loara; James P.Roberts, 410 W.Vermont and R.L.Hanson, 850 N. Helena. Tuesday's reclassification means return by the company to original plans of incorporation in the westerly 10 lots. The property is currently at R-1 and company officials seeking the change to C-1, new neighborhood commercial. The Bill proposes to build common buildings. There are approximately 793 homes in the vicinity was pointed out. At Tuesday's session a letter addressed to the commission signed by eight residents in area expressed favor with the proposed center. After the letter read, Commissioner A.J.Schul said he had received many calls from home owners in the city expressing their approval of the project. Action was initiated during season whereby the planners commended to the City Council that the western frontage of a S.Los Angeles st. between rd. and Vermont Ave. be re-zas follows: 1. A 20-foot setback for future widening of Los Anstreet. 2. The next 60 feet to be up as a parking-landscaping plan. 3. At the rear of the P-L there is a proposed C-1 zone feet in depth. The area from Los Angeles to Lemon st., is 580 feet wide presently zoned residential-cultural. Commissioners expressed doubts whether this is the prime time for the re-classification of cedures of whether they should be left as presently zoned until more specific uses are lined for the area. Two property owners in area, H.E.Slayton, 9852 S.Angeles st. and Bernard Flii 9891 S.Los Angeles st., expressed their approval of the proper reclassification in writing. The board passed the measure. Personnel Meet "Induction of New Employees was the open discussion topic lectured by Stan Bates, gen chairman for the Orange County Personnel and Industrial Relat group, to hash over at their lember 9th meeting, held in Garden Room at Knott's Berry Farm. Noon luncheon was served." Major points covered at meeting were: employees first pressions, means of indoctrination the new employees, how to m the new employee feel at home. Professional personnel people at markets, and they are about as succulent as old parboiled goulashes. We have two orange trees on our lot, and they produce nothing but confusion. People out of the state also are prone to play no earthquake danger here. This is purely and simply anti-California propaganda. (Pry the piano off of grandmother, dear. The quake's over for a few minutes.) As for other things around our property, we have a dog named, prophetically, "Scrappy." He is gentle and considerate. It was only the other night that he wrenched a leg off the kitchen table and sent it sailing into the sink. He is not fastidious in his dietary habits, however, and will eat anything. He is especially fond of children. Then, there are the cats, numbering three at the last census. One of them, "Dopcy," has eight toes in front. 'We haven't had the courage to count the ones on his hind paws. We also are the possessors of a pet raccoon, who has shown his gratitude for kind treatment by chewing off my index finger. We have enjoyed life on this sun-washed Pacific slope where rail meets sail and where, if you see a man wearing a necktie, you can be assured he is either going to—or coming from—a funeral. The only time they require you to wear a suit out here is when you are going to San Quentin's gas chamber. Our hope is that you will enjoy the Christmas season in your particular locality, that fortune will smile on you and that you and yours will realize the best there is to be had during the year ahead. Feel free to write us at any time BIRTH Mr. and Mrs. Carl Lindgren. 10141 Nutwood st., announce with pride the birth of a daughter.

Kersten and Mrs. John Wilson termed the affair a decided success and were gratified by the interest shown by guests as they toured the building and observed the nature of the work currently being conducted. Greeting guests at the door were members of the Red Cross board of directors, executive secretary Mrs. Kathryn Wheeler whose residence is effective Jan. 1. the new secretary, Mrs. R. Bovsen, Mrs. M. A. Gauer was charge of canteen, and Mrs. L. Loudon, publicity. The tea table was decorated with an unusual centerpiece that depleted the various phases of local Red Cross activity. The decoration was fashioned by Mrs. A. Thompson. Throughout the afternoon and evening hours, many members who have been active in Red Cross work through the years preside at the tea table. Among them was Mrs. R. L. Taylor chairman of the Long Beach Council, council under which Anaheim chapter functions together with 11 other units in this area. The new chapter house located at 418 N West st., was deeded to the Anaheim chapter for permanent headquarters by Mr. and M. John J. Dwyer. Funds from estate were used to remodel historic and mark and to furnish it for Red Cross activities. No, Georgi, Home Freezers Ain't Siberian Winters The pudgy man in the military uniform brushed a spot of borscht off the newspaper page. "Andrel, this morning's paper says there's a depression brewing in the United States of America. People aren't buying as many home freezers as they did last year." His companion, a grey-haired man in a morning coat, answered respectfully. "You're right, Georgi. There is a depression brewing, just as you and our late comrade have predicted for many years. Home freezers are a pretty accurate indicator of business in that capitalistic country." Georgi leaned back thoughtfully, his uniform tightening as new strains were set up. "The working classes won't let their masters get away with it. Take away their home freezers, and . . ." He stopped, purrrlement wrinkling his face. "By the way, Andrel... what is a home freezer?"

County Board Firm on Policy Regarding Sewers For New Subdivisions In line with their previous policy, the County Board of Supervisors ruled again Tuesday that sewers must be provided for new subdivisions. Supervisors upheld the County Planning Commission ruling that sewer lines and connections must be provided for a subdivision southwest of Stanton. They denied the appeal from the requirement which had been made by Cottage Grove Properties, Inc., of Long Beach. Atty, Robert H. Jacobs argued that the sewer requirement for the 114-home, 26-acre tract was "unreasonable and impractical" and that cost would be prohibitive. He said the Long Beach firm plans low-cost houses and that expense of providing a pumping station and lines to either the Garden Grove Sanitary District or Midway City Sanitary District would be approximately $40,-000. The developers said they are proposing to develop approximately 180 acres in the area west of Stanton Blvd. and south of Chapman ave. Supervisors have set a hearing for next Tuesday on two other protests by the same subdividers. A part of the over-all development would include a shopping center, a church and other like facilities, supervisors were told. Board members, however, said the people in the Westminster area south of the proposed new tract had difficulty with septic tanks and cesspools which the developers had proposed for the new area.

Ad TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY ANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DEC. 10, 1953 NO. 54 Instructs Koreans Dump Truck Owners Seek Use of City's Main Street Anaheim City Administrator Keith Murdoch has been authorized by the city council to work out a plan whereby dump trucks will be able to travel the city's streets without regard to present plans that call for the re-routing of all trucks from Center st. to Orange-thorpe ave. The council made the move after the California Dump Truck Owners Association asked for an agreement whereby their trucks would be allowed to travel the streets. E. O. Blackman, representing the association, asked for a form of permanent agreement with the council whereby special permits could be issued allowing dump trucks the use of Anaheim main streets while traveling between points immediately east and west of the city. Boost in Costs Blackman told the council that to route the dump trucks around Anaheim would add 15 minutes of travel time. He said it would boost the cost of hauling rocks, gravel and asphalt 10 to 15 cents per ton. Since many of the truck drivers Site for New School Obtained A site for a new school and a lease for new administrative headquarters were acquired Tuesday night by Anaheim city schools. The site is on North st. at the end of Loara, and the administrative offices will be the old justice court quarters in the Masonic Temple. Deed for the 8.8-acre site on W. North st. and the north dead end of Loara rd. was ordered recorded. Sellers were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bentjen who sold the school's 4 acres and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Halderman who sold an equal amount of land. Purchase price to each was $18,700. Since Anaheim Union High School is soon to build more classrooms on the Freemont grounds before taking over as a junior high school, the bungalow housing offices of the superintendent must be moved. The board agreed to pay $75 per month to Anaheim Macoma Terrace. Firm on Sewers Divisions Citizens Asked to Help Fight Road Littering County officials today are asking help in coping with the problem posed by motorists who dispose of their trash along roadside. Willis Warner, chairman of the county's board of supervisors, said beer cans and bottles were making an unsightly condition over the county and that there were measures set up to惩处 persons found guilty of littering up the roadways. But catching the offending parties is something else, he told directors of the Associated chambers of Commerce this week. He blamed Los Angeles county residents for most of the litter in the western portion of the county. He asked that county residents like the license number of any car from which they see trash being thrown, telephone him in the court house, and he would be that some action would be taken. "These beer companies are advertising throw-away cans and bottles," Warner said. "and people are taking them literal." Local Group Host could be issued allowing dump trucks the use of Anaheim main streets while traveling between points immediately east and west of the city. Boost in Costs Blackman told the council that to route the dump trucks around Anaheim would add 15 minutes of travel time. He said it would boost the cost of hauling rocks, gravel and asphalt 10 to 15 cents per ton. Since many of the truck drivers live in and around Anaheim, any cut in business would therefore affect residents, Blackman asserted. Consumers west of Anaheim could purchase the materials cheaper from the Long Beach area in event the trucks were not permitted to travel through Anaheim, the representative said. Mayor Charles Pearson indicated there should be no hard and fast rule laid down by the city on dump truck routes. He said a more flexible rule would be more beneficial to all concerned. Ceremony Honors Troop Members The newly organized 6th grade Girl Scout Troop at Lincoln school held an impressive investiture ceremony in the school cafeterium recently and followed it with a party. Mrs. Elmer Peters, troop leader, presented the following girls with their pins: Kathy Bates, Karen Gretel, Nancy Callahan Carolyn Anderson, Patty Jones, Judy Williams, Dianna Hemingsen and Joyce Mosgrove.

Since Anaheim Union High School is soon to build more classrooms on the Fremont grounds before taking over as a junior high school, the bungalow housing offices of the superintendent must be moved. The board agreed to pay $75 per month to Anaheim Masonic Temple association for the lease, stipulating it will be renewable. Workmen will refinance the rooms immediately, but the lease begins January 1. An appraisal report was received from Tevis T. Westgate, who estimated that the Lewis Freeman property on Vermont ave., near Olive st., is worth $3,500 per acre. The board wants the 7½-acre plot for an addition to Thomas Jefferson School grounds.

Anaheim School Board Again Seeks Answer to Sidewalk Problem Anaheim's "sidewalk problem" reared its head again Tuesday night when the board of education reaffirmed by resolution its stand on the matter. The resolution was passed after a report was made by Supt. Paul W. Cook. The resolution will be a part of a message to be sent to the Anaheim City Council which has received such communications before but took no action, board members asserted. Cook pointed out that the city's refusal to install sidewalks in hazardous areas costs the Anaheim taxpayers more than any savings effected by not putting in the walks. Taking Lincoln School as an example, he pointed out that a survey showed 137 pupils could walk to school at Lincoln if there were sidewalks. Now they must be transported by bus, costing the taxpayers $2,518 annually, over and above the five dollars per pupil received from the state. Cook said that pupils in other school areas, notably Horace Mann, must walk in the street because the council has neglected to enforce the rule that sidewalks must be installed by all builders. He was directed by the school board to make one more plea to the council.
