OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Although this humble creature would be loath to try to tell O. E. Hansen how to run a bank (he seems to be doing a pretty good job of it) I have a suggestion as regards the motif down there at that brand new Bank of America. After all, I have an interest in that bank. I help carry them along by virtue of a $5.00 savings account. The new bank represents the very essence of modern architecture and utility, both inside and out. It is a beautiful creation, a flawless distillation of the pooled brains and brawn of men. But from a purely esthetic viewpoint, something is needed to soften the interior decor which, in the final analysis, is rather cold and barren. After all, bank patrons are generally a rather tense and harried-looking lot. They have come to this institution to deal in matters of money—always a deadly serious transaction. Something a little less severe than tile, marble and granite, then, would be appropriate for banks. As a suggestion for our new bank, it is respectfully commended to the board of directors that two murals be placed on the west wall. There is ample room there for murals as big as 10x20 feet. One could, perhaps, be a seascape depicting one of Orange county's beaches; the other might be a beautiful desert panorama — in any case, either paintings or blown-up color photographs delineating some dominant feature of either Orange county or Southern WORKING FOR BENEFIT—Anaheim Junior Ebell Club members are shown working on little golden tallies to be used for their annual benefit fashion show Saturday in Anaheim Ebell clubhouse. Shown working Jr. Ebell Fashion Show Saturday The 15th annual spring fashion show and dessert bridge sponsored by the Junior Ebell Society will take as its theme, "The Shape's The Thing" when festivities get on the James liam P of the ments. TAXPAYERS' ANNUAL MEET The Twenty-sixth Annual ing of California Taxpayers'ation will be held in Los Tuesday, March 9, 9:45 12:00 o'clock at the hotel As a suggestion for our new bank, it is respectfully commended to the board of directors that two murals be placed on the west wall. There is ample room there for murals as big as 10x20 feet. One could, perhaps, be a seascape depicting one of Orange county's beaches; the other might be a beautiful desert panorama — in any case, either paintings or blown-up color photographs delineating some dominant feature of either Orange county or Southern California as a whole. Then, as we stand in the long lines awaiting our turn at the teller's window we would be relieved of the boring choice of either staring at each other or at a vast expanse of blank wall. How about it, O. E.? When you have been in the printing and newspaper business for a number of years, it always is titillating to see a worthwhile effort being done with a well-printed specialized paper which does a good job of informing its readership. I refer to Kwikset Ink, a publication of the local lockset manufacturing firm. It is a smallish four-page "house organ" which comes out twice a month. It may be small, but it does a real job for Kwikset employees. Last issue, Kwikset Ink expanded to a special edition of eight pages and was sent not only to Kwikset employees, but also to the company's stockholders and customers. The point of all this is that if you read the Ink you'll get a good picture of the inner workings of the American Free Enterprise System; employees, managers, customers, and stockholders working together. Also, you'll get a good picture of what an industry means to a city, to its employees, and how it spreads a useful message from Anaheim to many parts of the nation. Incidentally, I mentioned that it is a well-printed newspaper. Fact of the matter is we print it right here at the Gazette. Easter Sunday falls on April 18, this year. This is the latest Easter experienced for a number of years past. The old adage yet applies that weather conditions will remain unsettled until after Easter, and the people of this area of California are in hopes that the Jr. Ebell Fashion Show Saturday The 15th annual spring fashion show and dessert bridge sponsored by the Junior Ebell Society will take as its theme, "The Shape's The Thing" when festivities get underway at the clubhouse, 1:30 p.m. on the afternoon of March 6.

Thirty-six door prizes will be awarded and the following raffle prizes: $50 merchandise order donated by Mary Millerick shop, compact vacuum, courtesy of Interstate Engineering Corp., and a mattress from the Anaheim Mattress Factory. Mrs. Clara Gifford Dies at Age 87 Mrs. Clara B. Gifford, 87, a native of Columbus, Ohio, California resident for 66 years, who has resided in Anaheim and vicinity for 28 years, died Tuesday, March 2, forenoon, at St. Joseph hospital after a brief illness. The family home was at 10442 Broadway west of Anaheim until 7 years ago when she moved to 308 S. Helena street. She is survived by a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Adeline Gifford of Anaheim; one grand-daughter, Mrs. Frank Wick of Anaheim; one grandson, Charles P. Gifford of Alhambra and four great grandsons. She was a member of the Anaheim Church of The Nazareene. Funeral services were conducted from the Hilgenfeld chapel, Thursday, at 10 o'clock. Rev.

The old adage yet applies that weather conditions will remain unsettled until after Easter, and the people of this area of California are in hopes that the "unsettled" weather conditions will bring copious showers of rain during the next several weeks. The fusillade of hot lead spewed into the House of Representatives by Puerto Rican fanatics again focusses attention of the U.S. — and the entire world — on conditions in that tiny but rich island. Perhaps President Ike should appoint a committee to investigate Uncle Sam's stewardship of that island, just in case. I once talked to a Puerto Rican Miss of about 25 who was attending Orange Coast college with the intention of going back to her homeland as a school teacher. Naturally, I asked her what the Puerto Ricans thought of Uncle Sam. Her reply was simple, but loaded: "You take much from us, but you give nothing in return." Although I would be the last to wish to see anyone wounded, the shooting in the House may, in a sense, do some good. Ten gets you 20 this was the first time many Congressman (who have blithely voted to send American boys to three wars in the last generation) ever heard shots fired in anger. It might make some of them think, a process of which there is not exactly a plethora in the august House. Meanwhile, the Puerto Ricans should be advised that it can be dangerous to fire a gun at somebody. National Girl Scout Week Observed by Local Troops The Girl Scouts of the Anaheim Council will join with more than two million members of the national organization in celebrating Girl Scout Week, March 7-13, and the 42nd anniversary of Girl Scouting in the United States on March 12.

Center St., and has a frontage of approximately 256 feet on both Center and Broadway, a depth of 825 feet, and contains 18 lots. Lee Simmons, 1286 E. Center St., Anaheim, spoke for the applicant and told commissioners the people on either side of the parcel on the south side of Center had approved the request. Simmons said the people on E. Center are depending on a business development to go in. He said a service station was planned on one corner adjacent to the entrance of Larch onto Center from the north and a retail store would be across from it. Krull planned to put a street down: the middle of the parcel from Center to Broadway with commercial lots bordering on Gen- 'No Depression' In Sight', SaRep. James By Your Congressman JAMES B.

Fourth grade won room count and 8th grade room mothers, Mrs. Oliver Jones and Mrs. H. C. Linkquist were social hour hostesses. As guest speaker, Dr. Emma County Building For February Tops $7,000,000 Coming out of the first of the year doldrums like a bolt of lightning, Orange County’s building valuation for February soared to more than $7,000,000—an increase of 88 per cent over the previous month, according to building inspector Charles Donahue. Several large home subdivisions accounted for the biggest chunk of the phenominal gain. The month’s total for February, a short month, towered 121 per cent above February, 1953. Exact February total was $7,480,808, of which home-building alone accounted for $7,059,753. Donahue said An even 1,000 permits were issued, bringing the year’s two-month total to 1,563. Largest single items in building permits—which include all of the county’s unincorporated area, were single family dwellings with attached garages, with $6,370,586. Other home building categories included single family dwellings, $612,168 and multiple family dwellings, $77,000. Other categories were: Alterations, conversions and additions, $74,162; churches, $35,000; foundation move-ins $52,995; private garages, $65,463; gasoline service stations, $11,000; industrial, $30,000; motels, $18,000; office buildings, $2,500; store buildings, $8,500; miscellaneous, $103,935 and 38 move permits (no valuation).

Council Meet Eva Gooden, president of Anaheim Business & Professional Women’s club, participated in the program of the recent reciprocity dinner of the Orange County Council of B. & P.W. by giving a brief closing address. On the south side of Center had approved the request. Simmons said the people on E. Center are depending on a business development to go in. He said a service station was planned on one corner adjacent to the entrance of Larch onto Center from the north and a retail store would be across from it. Krull planned to put a street down: the middle of the parcel from Center to Broadway with commercial lots bordering on Center St. Simmons said. The remaining lots were planned to be distributed between single, double and multiple family residential lots, he asserted. Opposing the move were five home owners in the area, all residents on the north side of Center street. James Nichter, 102 Larch whose property is directly across Center St., protested, saying there is no sense in establishing a business zone in the area when there are two soon-to-be-completed centers at East and Center streets, and at Placentia and Anaheim Olive Road. Nichter said both business centers are within walking distance of the area involved. He added frontage all along Center street should be either zoned for commercial use or for residential purposes. Business should not be strung out all along Center street, he asserted. Commissioner Vera Auest, in moving that the petition should be denied, said she did not favor the establishment of shoe-string businesses along streets because they cause congestion and do not add to the beauty of a city. The denial vote was unanimous. ‘YW’ Advisory Group Meets In the absence of the president, Mrs. Alice Schmidl, Mrs. Marion Fort presided at the recent meeting of the Women’s Advisory Committee of Tri-H-Y held at the home of Mrs. Everett Cone on S.

After an evaluation of the January induction ceremonies, Mrs. Nan Moore reported that the youth and government group had earned $87 with a cup cake sale and $208 on a bean dinner.

Fortunately they joined in this selfish scene the great many Democracies place national welfare political gain.

He said that the greatest loss in the 30’s was pre-closure of the Bank land; the first time this happened in 300 years. Other financial institutions were weaker. “Without some concern like these, Hoover said slumps or recessions do not evoke into great depressions.” He declared. Hoover proposed a remain lines suggested by President enhower and by the R Congress of reducing taxessary; to increase the power of all the people they can absorb the construction and jack up their level of living another notch.

Krull of Santa Ana, who later to establish various types 'No Depression In Sight', Says Rep. James Utt By Your Congressman JAMES B. UTT Don't believe all the rumors that are being circulated to the effect that we are entering another depression like that of the early 1930's. Such rumors got their start through the efforts of disgruntled New Deal Democrats who would like to see a full scale depression so that they can use it as a selling point to regain political power. Fortunately they are not joined in this selfish scheme by the great many Democrats who place the national welfare above political gain.

Anaheim Community Chest Announces Goal is Reached Anaheim Community Chest board members sighed with relief Tuesday night when President Barney W. Jordan announced that—four months late—the campaign goal has been reached and the budget will be met this year. They're keeping their fingers crossed, though, for some pledges are still to be paid. Goal for the drive, supposed to end Nov. 1, was $31,049. The total heached, in cash and pledges, is $31,660. Meanwhile the board is getting ready for an even bigger campaign next fall for reports show Lloyd Paxton, Boy Scout Executive for Northern Orange County Council, gave a comprehensive report of his agencies work for the pression like that of the early 1930s. Such rumors got their start through the efforts of disgruntled New Deal Democrats who would like to see a full scale depression so that they can use it as a selling point to regain political power. Fortunately they are not joined in this selfish scheme by the great many Democrats who place the national welfare above political gain. Ex-President Hoover, in a speech in Washington, D.C., Feb. 22, described the nation's current economic situation as a "passing dip" and stated howhere on the landscape are there signs of serious economic trouble. Out of ordeal by fire, Hoover said, he can say from expert experience that "the combustible materials are not hereabouts to construct another conflagration like that of the decade of the thirties." At that time, he said, there existed a normal explosive from domestic overproduction, in addition to two gigantic explosives in the forms of a total financial collapse in Europe and existence here of 51 weak, motley banking systems that could not take shocks. He said that the great depression in the 30's was preceded by the closing of the Bank of England, the first time this had occurred in 300 years. Other European financial institutions were also floundering before our own financial institutions were weakened. "Without some combustibles like these, Hoover said, "dips, slumps, or recessions do not develop into great depressions." The "present trouble," Hoover said, come from a mixture of surplus production and "dehydrated optimism." You can have high confidence that this is only "a passing dip, a slump, a readjustment, or a recession, not a great depression," he declared. Hoover proposed a remedy along lines suggested by President Eisenhower and by the Republican Congress of reducing taxes, if necessary, to increase the buying power of all the people so that they can absorb the surplus production and jack up the standard of living another notch. The former President said that dips, recessions—whatever they are called—some around inevitably about every five or seven years in the ebb and flow of a free economic system. "I should be regarded as an expert on these subjects," he commented dryly. Anaheim Community Chest board members sighed with relief Tuesday night when President Barney W.

Goal for the drive, supposed to end Nov. 1, was $31,049. The total heached, in cash and pledges, is $31,660. Meanwhile the board is getting ready for an even bigger campaign next fall, for reports show more extensive charity and counseling work is being done by agencies who plan to seek admittance to the Red Feather group. Reports were received that Family Service Agency, an organization of experienced counselors which has served the country for more than a century, is soon to begin work in this area. Also, orthopedic hospital of Los Angeles is doing considerable charity work here and will request financial sharing in the Chest. Jordan gave high praise to the individual campaign workers who he said put the drive over. Broken down into divisions, the report showed that divisions going over their quotas were residential, advance gifts, civic and governmental and youth divisions. Not quite making their goals were the suburban residential, professional and business divisions. Preliminary mudget estimates are to be given in by March 15, Jordan said, and campaign and budget chairmen will be named with their committees by April. Members were invited to the Western 4-C's conference in Fresno April 4-9 and volunteer workers were especially invited for the County Fruit Shipments Show Increase for Season Twelve associations affiliated with the Orange County Fruit Exchange sent to market 8845 cars packed and 5013 cars sold loose of all varieties during the past season, according to the annual report of Manager Clarence Skiles.

The former President said that dips, recessions—whatever they are called—some around inevitably about every five or seven years in the ebb and flow of a free economic system. "I should be regarded as an expert on these subjects," he commented dryly. "At least," he went on, "I was credited with having constructed one all by myself, the entire world-wide depression which lasted in the United States for ten years from 1931 to 1941. I even received the honor of having that depression named after me by various political candidates."
