OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Well, it seems that an ominous portent of things to come is reflected in the news dispatches that funds for the defense establishment are now slashed by four billion dollars. This causes vague stirrings of unrest deep down in those of us who remember what resulted from similar budgetary slashes in the past. If my $1.00 a week saving in income tax deductions was necessary to create this $4 billion expense cut, they can turn right around and start collecting that $1.00 again, and welcome to it. The news reports say that the emphasis now is going to be placed on "push-button" weapons and that the maintenance of large amounts of ground forces will be played down. It seems (to express it in the most charitable term) odd that a professional soldier and a master tactician of infantry would back such a program. George Washington said: "There is a rank due to the United States among nations which will be withheld, if not absolutely lost, by the reputation of weakness. If we desire to be secure . . . it must be known that we are at all times ready for war." But, on the other hand, this year's stupendous savings on income tax opens new vistas for the wage-earner. Why think of it? We may now be able to improve our property . . . even travel. Already we have envisioned a new rabbit hutch and, perhaps, a trip to Westminster. PICTURED WITH one of the many babies he brought into the world, is the late Dr. J. W. Truxaw. He was a prominent medical figure serving throughout all of North Orange county for many years. In his memory his wife, Mrs. J. W. Truxaw, presented $1500 to the St. Jude Hospital Building Fund. Mrs. Truxaw lives in Anaheim and called for local support in Anaheim and throughout the North part of the county on the part of individuals, civic, business and church groups. Downey Man Killed in County Crash Orange County chalked up its Robert Halley, a pupil in the seventh grade over at La Habra, is guest columnist this week although he doesn't know it. He teacher, Mrs. H. O. Hickie, of 12881 Strawberry Lane, Garden Grove, supplied us with the following treatise written by Bobby. In it he shows a vivid imagination, a fine sense of humor, and the latent literary capabilities of a latter-day Mark Twain. "My lecture will be on the construction of your Little Gem moon-rocket." "First of all you must have a work table." "Then lay out the prefabricated parts of your Little Gem moon rocket." "1st step: Take crossbar (1) and cross it with crossbar (3). Now that they are all crossed up, connect connecting rod (15½) to square bolt hole (27) in crossbar (3) enabling you to connect crossbar (2) to square bolt hole (26) thusly. Now shape crossbar (4)—(30) back, connecting these to every third pendulamatic bolt hole. "2nd step: Now set in your Little Floopadingus precision control box and make it secure with new and improved, heat-resistant wilt-proof and pilfer-proof scotch-tape. "3rd step: Insert control sticks, assorted nobs and buttons and make secure with Yehootey John's red hot rocket rivets. Put in with Mahoney Mike's redhot rocket rivetter. "4th step: Your Little Gem moon rocket is now ready for the one and only Little Whirlaway sleet-resistant, water-proof, and sound-proof rocket covering which is applied with Splillichendinger glue-goo. "5th step: The fifth step is the insertion of your Little Gem moon rocket deisel engine. First, lower motor into place and make fast with Little Piffedink puddle-proof parsnip putty. "Put in retainer hose (27) and Orange County chalked up its third traffic fatality of the year this week with the death of Fred Tye, 64., of Downey, who died in Santa Ana Community hospital as the result of crash injuries. The accident occurred Tuesday when the couple was enroute home from San Diego. Mrs. Tye, 35, who received major injuries in the crash, told officers her husband was driving at 40 miles per hour when the car skidded out of control on the unbanked approaches to the Aliso Creek bridge on Hwy. 101. Although the third traffic fatality in two weeks, Mr. Tye's death raised the number of deaths so far this year to only 60 per cent of the fatalities totaled in the first three weeks of 1953. Kuchel Backs President on Farm Issues Senator Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) has made the following statement regarding recommendations submitted by President Eisenhower to Congress, Jan. 11, for dealing with the nation's farm problems: "The President's recommendations offer a sound basis for working out the nation's farm problems. Certainly it recognizes the need for a long-range program that can be depended upon by our farmers. It also takes into consideration some of the ridiculous situations brought about by the controls required under past programs. "An illustration is the plight of the cotton farmer in California. Present acreage allotment and marketing quota provisions for cotton call for about a 50 per cent cut in acreage from 1953. Even if Congress authorizes an increase in the cotton acreage allotment Calif." Downey Man Killed in County Crash The council action states that the assessment on each lot may be paid to the city before maps will receive final approval. The move apparently is the growth of a planning commission meeting where approval of mills for two tracts containing a total of 684 homes was held up because planners felt that number of homes would bring approximately 750 elementary age children to the area, necessitating the addition of a school and a half town listing facilities. Burden to School Commissioner Mel Gauer said thought the bringing in of many youngsters would seriously overburden Katella School. One tract, to contain 375 horse is bounded by Ball Rd. on north, the Southern Pacific train on the east; Cerritos Ave. on south and a point halfway between Euclid Ave. and the rail tracks on the west. The other tract, to contain lots, is bounded by Ball Rd., Wut St., the Southern Park tracks and Cerritos Ave. Both tracts are owned by E.E. Everett, Whittier subdivision. Planners ruled yesterday Everett will be given approval his maps if he pays the $25 settlement per lot, notifies school board in regard to the location of a school in the subdivision and will receive a notice from school board after the Fell meeting specifying if the bwants a school in the tract. Planners indicated the school board will work with city officials in handling the school problem new tracts. Trustees will give copy of all tract maps and decide if it is necessary to have a survey on the tract or adjacent territory. When the measure receivesnal passage, Anaheim will be first Orange county community pass such a law, city officials yesterday. Congratulations are in order Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Bana 611½ E.

Council Moves to Assess Subdivision Lot for Park and Recreation Full Support Urged for New Hospital A statement issued by Edward S. Hawkins, chairman of the Anaheim St. Jude Hospital Building Fund Committee, stressed the point that the proposed 100 bed Class A hospital cannot be built without the full support of each community involved in the drive. "Unless each of seven communities bears its fair share of the load the project is in jeopardy," the statement said.

Others in photo, left to right ‘Million Dollar Rain’ Bring To Farmers’ Faces; Anal This week’s “million dollar” rain which dumped 2.53 inches on Anaheim and similar amounts over the county brought smiles to the faces of drought-plagued farmers and did a small amount of flood damage. The storm brought Anaheim’s season rainfall figure to 4.66 inches, a bit more than half of the 8.39 inches recorded at this time last year. Citrus ranchers set an all-time record for the number of days of irrigation as the year came to an end amid sizzling weather. Stm. Sea. Lat.

Although lack of rain in November and December will likely result in smaller size fruit, the rain is expected to partly compensate for this condition. Strawberry growers particularly welcomed the rain. It was needed to settle the soil around ned planting and to wash salts accumulated from irrigation water out of old plantings, according to Farm Advisor Al Holland. He said bean growers will probably still have to irrigate unless the rain continues. Bean crops, he explained draw from six to 10 inches of stored rainfall from the soil during the growing season and the present is not enough to store that much. Damage done by the storm included flooded highways in parts of the county, some road-closing landslides and flooded stores in Buena Park. Students at Huntington Beach High School were dismissed from classes Tuesday after two electrical transformers were burned out as the result of being flooded by the fains. Damage to the transformers was estimated at about $500.
