OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. There once was a merchant in a Southern California city, a city promising rapid growth, a city surrounded by rapidly expanding light industries, a city which could profit from a vast industrial payroll. Someone one day asked the merchant, as he stood out in front of his store on a foggy morning grumbling about the lack of business: "Why don't you modernize your store front? . . duke the place up a little? . . make it more attractive? Women do the buying you know, but a woman doesn't want to go into a bleak and barren looking store." The merchant replied: "It was good enough for grandpappy, and it's good enough for me. Well, there was a neighboring city with a lot of merchants who knew how to merchandise, and the payrolls kept pouring into their tills, to the detriment of the original city in question. Then, one day, our merchant friend fell gravely ill. His doctor advised a new drug. The merchant said: "No, I don't want any of those new-fangled things. I'll take the medicine my grandpappy took. If it was good enough for him, it's good enough for me. So, not long after, he quietly expired." There is an interesting exhibit down at Nadorff's hardware store devoted to Boy Scouts and the fine training they receive in the "American Heart Month" HEART FUND LEADERS launch February campaign aid heart sufferers and familiarize the public regarding Orange county program stressing education to disarm harmful misconceptions concerning heart diseases. To right: Frank V. Crane, Willis H. Warner, county chairman, and Milo K. Tedstrom. Willis H. Warner, of the county board of supervisors, and chairman of the Orange County Heart Fund Drive, has proclaimed February as "American Heart Month" throughout the county. He calls upon the people and county organizations to support the Heart Fund campaign and stressed its objective of improving public health. "Diseases of the heart," says Chairman Warner, "and circulation are the leading causes of dis- The merchant said: "No, I don't want any of those new-fangled things. I'll take the medicine my grandpappy took. If it was good enough for him, it's good enough for me. So, not long after, he quietly expired. There is an interesting exhibit down at Nadorff's hardware store devoted to Boy Scouts and the fine training they receive in the appreciation and preservation of the heritage of nature which most of us merely accept as a matter of course. One sign in this exhibit proclaims "HELP KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL." We can find no argument with this, and it is a fine thing to teach our budding youngsters. But it is not the youngsters who despoil the landscape. It is the oldsters, who should know better. We have one of the fairest countries in the world, but we despoll it with three dominant abhorrences: 1. Telephone poles. 2. Roadside billboards. 3. A litter of beer cans and bottles along the highways. As for No. 1, the telephone and power poles, it has long puzzled me why the utilities companies can't put their lines underground in weather-proof conduits. I have long meant to write to one of their 100 or so vice presidents to ask about this, but apprehension of the reply has stayed my hand. They can use words and phrases far above and beyond the call of ordinary usage. They also have a formidable battery of legal counselors at beck and call. But I still say, why can't we do away with telephone poles? The big power and telephone companies spend whopping sums of money to tell of their progressive accomplishments, yet they use antiquated devices to support their wires. And, they are eyesores. I would like to know why they can't bury those wires in weather-proof tubes, where snow, sleet, rain and hail, hurricanes, typhoons, etc. wouldn't harm them. As for No. 2 above, roadside billboards, they obliterate a lot of beautiful landscape, they tend to distract the attention of otherwise assiduous drivers, they are garish, unnecessary, and in many instances board of supervisors, and chairman of the Orange County Heart Fund Drive, has proclaimed February as "American Heart Month" throughout the county. He calls upon the people and county organizations to support the Heart Fund campaign and stressed its objective of improving public health. "Diseases of the heart," says Chairman Warner, "and circulation are the leading causes of disability and death in this county, as throughout the United States, with these diseases constituting a basic health problem that is everybody's concern. And there is an urgent need of public education concerning these diseases." Orange County Heart association, an American Heart association affiliate, will devote February to enlisting the aid and cooperation of the people, science, medicine, government, health and social and fraternal agencies in a constant and intensive battle against heart diseases. The local community drive chairman will soon be announced. R. C. Directors' Reports Given; Need Workers A need for more Grey Ladies at nearby Veterans hospitals was announced at the Anaheim Red Cross Board of Directors chapter house meeting recently. Miss Freida Janss and Mrs. E H. Kersten just returned from an area council meeting of hospital workers, said that volunteers are badly needed also at the Long Beach Veterans hospital to wheel bed patients to the recreation hall parties on Thursday evenings from 6:50 to 9:00. Canteen chairman Mrs. M. A. Gauer, with a delegation of local canteen workers, attended a Canteen workshop this week in Whitier, reported that her department had served 140 guests at the annual Red Cross Dinner. Junior Red Cross Miss Minnie Spicer, Junior Red Cross chairman, described her group work, including 48 lap boards for hospital patients and 100 gift boxes to be distributed to children's hospitals. The Juniors are hoping to send delegates to the National Convention in Los Angeles. Hearings On Proposed Annexation Dates for public hearing were set for March 9 for opponents of the ra Annexation proposal to oppose it. The parcel is designed as all the territory barbed acres west of the Red Shaw-Fulton plant between coln and Crescent Aves. The East Romneya annexed 10 acres of uninhabited territory at the northwest corner of Romneya and Baxter St., well up for public hearing March 9. For the last two annexations sues, the council set April 14 for an election. Ana. Churches Installation A Bethel Baptist layman, bert Stabbert, chosen to lead Anaheim Association of Church churches for 1954 was installed president at the recent meeting, together with the founding board members; Charles Hart, vice-president; Mrs. Thompson, secretary; Hale Leigh, treasurer; Rev. Berkackeit, Christian Education chairman; Rev. Roland Anderson Christian Education vice-coroner; Rev. McKinley Walker, ship committee chairman. Oring president, Joe Thompson; sided at the meeting. Reports by Rev. Jacksteit, And, they are eyesores. I would like to know why they can't bury those wires in weather-proof tubes, where snow, sleet, rain and hail, hurricanes, typhoons, etc. wouldn't harm them. As for No. 2 above, roadside billboards, they obliterate a lot of beautiful landscape, they tend to distract the attention of otherwise assiduous drivers, they are garish, unnecessary, and in many instances abominable. But we will be fair-minded about this. Away with them! Now, for No. 3 above. This business of rubbish thrown from cars alongside the road. Rubbish such as beer cans and wine bottles. The figure is probably higher now, but two years ago the information was put out by the county that cleaning up roadside rubbish in the county cost the taxpayers $50,000.00 annually. I herewith register an appeal to the brewing companies to devise a beer container that will disintegrate two hours after it is opened. We are privileged to live in a beautiful county, yet there are some residents amongst us who will deliberately drive to some secluded orange grove and dump household garbage at an intersection. The fact that they don't throw it out onto the highway is at least a deterreit to any argument proffered that they are totally uncivilized. Where do these people come from? Every morning when I drive to work, at a certain intersection of roads among the orange groves, I see a pile of garbage, beer cans and bottles dumped by the roadside. Perhaps we should revert to the ways of the old Californians and organize a "vigilante" group to police the situation. It is unlawful to litter the roadsides. You can always make a citizen's arrest. Will someone step forward to aid the cause? Junior Red Cross Miss Minnie Spicer, Junior Red Cross chairman, described her group work, including 48 lap boards for hospital patients and 100 gift boxes to be distributed to children's hospitals. The Juniors are hoping to send delegates to the National Convention in Los Angeles in June. According to Home Service chairman, Mrs. John Kemper, 27 cases are currently open. Production chairman, Mrs. R. P. Clark, announced that volunteers are needed each Tuesday afternoon at the Chapter house to help with sewing pajamas and bed jackets and knitting for the San Fernando Veterans hospital. The Bloodmobile will be at Thomas Jefferson school auditorium on Feb. 26. Although sponsored by Kwikset Locks, donors from the general public are urged to attend. Speaker of the evening was William H. Budd, Field Representative of Red Cross in this area, who gave a comprehensive outline of the duties and responsibilities in Red Cross membership. Senator Kuchel Visits Anaheim On a flying trip throughout the state, Senator Thomas Kuchel found time to spend a few hours at home Thursday morning. During that time he attended a breakfast where details of his coming campaign were discussed. The reason for this whirlwind trip home is the Lincoln day dinner in Los Angeles where he will make the main address. Joe Sowder has been elected to the presidency of the Northern Orange County Boy Scout Council. Bank Open February 12 Now that California banks now closed on Saturdays, in compliance with a new state law, of them have voluntarily chose remain open on certain holidays the state now class as "optional holidays." All branches of Bank of Alicia in southern California will open both Lincoln's (February) birthdays, announces Ora Eden, bank operations official Los Angeles headquarters. 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1937 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA County Valencia Harvest May be Hurt Due to lack of laborers from Mexico Valencia harvest time in Orange County may see a shortage of legal field hands unless a plan is worked out by that time for recruiting them from Mexico, according to George Graham, manager of Citrus Growers Inc., the county's biggest importer of Mexican Nationals. He said the organization will be without field hands by March 26. He added that he now has 128 nationals working in local fields. Of these, 62 were scheduled to be sent back across the border this week and the others by the end of March. Last year, citrus growers imported 2850 field hands from Mexico at the peak of the Valencia harvest. Last week the U. S.

Labor Dept. ordered a halt to its temporary program of bringing Mexican farm workers into this country. Instructions were sent out to all U. S. Labor Dept. hiring centers along the Mexican border ordering them to cease contracting as speedily as possible. The temporary program was started Jan. 22 after negotiations between the United States and Mexico for a new labor agreement broke down. About 4000 Mexicans have been hired so far, most of them for farm work in Southern California. Graham said he was not going to predict that the county's citrus ranchers would starve to death, but he said the county ranches will need help on lemon, navel and valencia orange crops. He added that the situation would be difficult without a supplemental source of labor for the reason that there are not enough men qualified, willing and able to do the work. In sounding a more optimistic note, he said he believed something would be worked out eventually and probably in time for the valencia harvest. G. S. Council Lists Changes At Feb.

William A. Maguire, late U. S. Navy chaplain and hero of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, will be erected at the place of his last assignment—St. Catherine’s Military School in Anaheim. The announcement was made by Sister Mary Verona, superior of the military school, who said the plan has been approved by James Francis Cardinal McIntyre. Father Maguire, a career man in the U. S. Navy, was reputed to have inspired the famous "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" song as the result of his heroic attendance on wounded and dying sailors during the attack. He is also attributed with encouraging and inspiring Navy gunners to man their weapons during the bombing of the American fleet. The Father Maguire Memorial Chapel will be built on the school grounds at 215 N. Palm St., near Center St., and will be used as a regular place of worship by the cadet corps. 'California's Fastest Growing County', Declares Bank Official Building permits totaling more than $500,000,000 have been issued in Orange county since the end of World War II, according to B. W. Jordan, manager of the Anaheim branch of Security-First National Bank. Referring to data tabulated by the bank's research department, the banker stated that in the eight years from 1946 through 1953 permits in the county totaled $495,-924,000. "Complete figures for January are not yet available," he stated, but it is certain that the month's permits will raise the total over the half billion mark." These figures refer strictly to building construction, and do not include streets highways, bridges, and other engineering construc- be far above the half billion mark." Of the above building permit total issued, the unincorporated portion of the county accounted for $189,832,200 — more than 38 per cent of the total. Anaheim Volume In order of permit volume, with other Orange county cities, Anaheim lists $45,739,000. During the year 1953, building permits issued in the county totaled $132,339,000. That was 74 per cent above the previous all-time record of $75,923,000 established in 1952. The gain in Orange county last year was the most spectacular recorded in any county in the southern half of California, according to Jordan.

Anaheim Co-operative Has Good Year The 1953 Valencia orange season had a good beginning and an equally good ending, but during the intervening time, prices were such that the average return was far from being satisfactory, declared Earle Woodward, manager Anaheim Cooperative Orange Association, at the 35th annual meeting of the cooperative held at Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park. President J. A. Baker presided over the meeting which was in the form of a luncheon gathering and was attended by 125 grower-members and guests. Continuing his report, Woodward revealed that during the year just passed, the associated handled 272 carloads of citrus fruit, or a total of 575,409 field boxes, consisting of 7,286 boxes of navels and 568,123 boxes of Valencias. A disappointing factor in the Valencia orange deal was the small sizes. A large percentage of these smaller fruits were moved in export channels during the early part of the season. During the season 18 per cent of the association's Valencia shipments moved to market in the new half-box size cardboard cartons. Although there was only a light volume shipped by the industry in cartons in 1953, there is an increasing swing to this type of shipping container. Leo Hurd Honored In closing his report, Woodward paid tribute to Leo Hund, a valued employee of the association, who died recently. During his 34 years with the cooperative, Hund never missed a day, stated Woodward, and this is indicative of the kind of support and loyalty being given by the present staff.

Chandler, manager, MOD Field Service Dept., briefly outlined some of the problems and difficulties which were met and overcome by the marketing agency during the past season.
