OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Réflections from A Busted Mirror ... (With apologies—for certain items—to Kwikset "ink.") One thing which can't be preserved in alcohol is a good reputation. Election poster in Russia: "Vote for Malenkov. The life you save may be your own." After hearing some of the Soviet Union's propaganda, it can be stated accurately that behind the Iron Curtain lies Russia. A doting mother was proud that her son, a Boy Scout, had done his good turn for the day by helping an old lady across a busy downtown intersection. "Did the old woman thank you?" she asked little Algernon. "Well, not exactly," replied the lad. "You see, she didn't want to cross the street." One nice thing about silence is that it cannot be repeated. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. 95,000 persons were killed and 9,600,000 more injured in highways home, and on-the-job accidents in the U.S. during 1953. The death toll, more than three times the number of Americans killed dur- FLOWERS FROM FOREIGN LANDS are a traditional feature of the California International Flower Show at Hollywood Park, March 13 through 21.

Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself. 95,000 persons were killed and 9,600,000 more injured in highways home, and on-the-job accidents in the U.S. during 1953. The death toll, more than three times the number of Americans killed during the entire Korean War, was still 1000 below the figure for 1952. I need some help with my income tax. That's why I've been delaying it—Not filling out the form. But, in paying it. The best thing for newlyweds to feather their nest with is plenty of cash down. Your attention is directed to the annual Hysteria Festival now in full swing at Sierra Madre, a town. Running thru April 18. (Anybody who would let a wife get out of hand like that should be forced to attend a 90-day course in floriculture). An article in "Time" says that Joe McCarthy likes to cruise around Washington in an air-conditioned Cadillac which was presented to him by some admiring Texas millionaires. Maybe after Joe is dead and gone, this car will be put on exhibition like Hitler's was. If you keep your mouth shut long enough, somebody will suspect that you have more than the usual amount of common sense. The next step will be a cigaret with built-in cough medicine. One reason so many children are seen on the streets at night is that they're afraid to stay home alone. A truthful woman is one who lies only about her age, weight, and her husband's salary. Before the development of industrial machinery and equipment, the productivity of our factories depended 15 per cent on man's labor, 79 per cent on animals', and 6 per cent upon machines. By 1960, it is estimated, human muscle will be doing only about 3 per cent, animals 1 per cent, while machine power will be doing 96 per cent of the work. Lincoln P-TA Election Tonight; To Show Film Films on bicycle safety, a special program presented by the Girl Scouts in observance of their birthday celebration, and election of officers are scheduled for the March 11 meeting of the Lincoln school Parent-Teacher Association scheduled for tonight. H. L. Hypes of Santa Ana, who showed the excellent films last year on the young bicycle riders in this section of Orange county, will return with more films hoping to impress upon both youngsters and parents the need for more safety laws and stricter enforcement of the same in an effort to save lives and limbs. As an added feature to the evening's program, the Brownies and Girl Scouts of Lincoln will present a program. The flag salute will be led by the captain of the color guard, Susan Petitt; American flag bearer will be Patty Bliazes; American flag guard, Tanya Urbano; state flag bearer, Karen Taylor; state flag guard, Linda Hagerty.

The incidence of communism among professors is less than the incidence of embezzlement among bankers. Worry is like a rocking chair. It will give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere. Sign in a L.A. restaurant window: "T-bone, 25c." Then you get close enough to read the fine print: "With meat, $4.00." There are several ways to achieve failure, but never taking a chance is the most successful. In the old days the man who saved money was a miser; nowadays he is a magician. It doesn't take much sound to put over a sound argument. A preacher making his rounds in the backwoods country came across one of his parishioners trying to change a tire alongside a hot and dusty road. Despite herculean efforts on the part of the hapless motorist, the tire would not come off the wheel, and his profanity was something to hear. "My good fellow," said the clergyman, "blasphemy and profanity will avail you naught in times of trial. Instead, offer up a prayer." Skeptical but obedient, the parishioner knelt and prayed briefly. The tire fell off. The preacher said, "well, I'll be damned!" 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Public Hearing Set on Annexation Public hearing on the proposed E.

Kwikset Expansion Program Features New Building For Lockset Plant's Automotive Division Facilities Kwikset Locks, Inc., this month marking a new expansion pro-m at the lockset manufactur-company's main plant in Ana-am. The occasion is the opening of a School Building Cost Differences Explained to Board of Trustees Kwikset Expansion Program Features New Building For Lockset Plant’s Automotive Division Facilities Kwikset Locks, Inc., this month marking a new expansion program at the lockset manufacturer's main plant in Anaheim. The occasion is the opening of a new 35,000 square-foot building which permits Kwikset to augment facilities for the manufacture of its widely distributed "400" line and its new "600" line of residential and commercial locksets to further diversify its products. The company has added new die casting machines and extensive automatic polishing, plating, and sealing equipment, not only Kwikset's builders' hardware items, but also for its new Automotive Division. The Automotive Division specializes in the production of chrome hardware and for the automotive industry. Kwikset Locks also is stepping up production in its Powdered Metal Products Division. The fast-flowing division was the first complete facility on the West Coast for the designing, tooling, and fabricating of parts from powdered metal. These facilities are available to western industry. Kwikset was the first lock compa­ny to add powder metallurgy to manufacturing processes. In its Defense Products Division, Kwikset has made an outstanding achievement by producing more than 1,900,000 illuminating mortar shells without a ballistic failer. The mortar shells are loaded into Kwikset's wholly owned pyrochine plant, West Coast Loadingrp., Fontana, California. Kwikset's Defense Products Division also has manufactured approximately 300,000,000 machine gun links for the Armed Forces. In addition to its main plant at 26 E. Santa Ana St., Kwikset cases several thousand square feet manufacturing, storage, and office space in other locations in Anaheim. School Building Cost Differences Explained to Board of Trustees Erronious beliefs that some school districts are building cheaper than others were attacked in Tuesday night's Anaheim City Board of Education meeting by M. A. Gauer, finance superintendent. Gauer said many districts consider only actual cost of the building, excluding costs of site development and cabinets when computing building costs. Some even refuse to include costs of sewers beyond five feet from the building, he added, thereby giving taxpayers the impression that they are building for less than $10 per square foot in several cases. He also said that the State Division of School Architecture has requested the figures be kept separately, but Anaheim school costs are computed to include site development, building and mill work. He said his figures prove that cabinet work done on the job is cheaper than built-in because costs of shipping, tax and installation are eliminated. Guaeer's report showed that the Anaheim school system has saved taxpayers about $15,000 by re-use of the Thomas Jefferson School plans, first used in 1950. Since then, building costs have risen 30 per cent, thus effecting a saving in architect fees as little revision was required. The plans are being used again for Edison and North Street Schools. Contract for the North Street School was signed Tuesday night, although construction is already underway. W. J. Esser and Sons are contractors and the school will cost a total of $214,319. Architect's fees throughout the years have averaged about six per cent instead of the usual eight because of re-use of the plans. Gauer said. Showing the rise in price in spite of the fee savings, the figure of the three newest schools showed that Jefferson was built for $9.75 per square foot; Edison will run $12.93 per square foot and North Street School will cost about the same as Edison. The new addition to Jefferson is costing $11.86 per square foot because no plumbing was required.
