OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. VISITORS TO Orange county Sunday were two former Anaheim residents, Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Beyer. Mrs. Beyer is the former Pat Terrebonne who for several years held down the Society desk on the Gazette. Her husband is also an alumnus of the Gazette, where he turned in a neat job of sports editing. The Beyers are now living in Ventura where Ernie is sports editor of the Ventura Daily Steibenhaupt und Blattenpost. LIFTED FROM the "Squeak," publication of the Anaheim Rotary Club: "Educational Feature" "Oscar Schultz came to the meeting last Monday all decked out in blue coat, blue necktie (really, we're true), a pair of sox, boutonniere, and blue suede shoes. Reason: Oscar was out among the people making a modified Kinsey investigation of his own. According to Oscar's report (soon to be published—below), man's relationship with the opposite sex can be roughly divided into seven ages: 1. Wa-a-a-a, I want my mama! 2. G'wan, beat it you. We don't want any ol' girls playing with us. 3. Gee, Gertrude, you're beautiful 4. If you don't marry me, Gertrude, I'll kill myself! 5. All right, go home to your mother! See if I care. 6. Yes, she's considerably younger than I am, Gertrude. I admit that; but she understands me! 7. Goo-goo-goo! Did you hear 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM British Food Mission Seeks California Fruit Bids Friday Zone Changes Sought Along Center Street The Anaheim Planning Commission, seeking to eliminate proposed C-2 zones in three areas on E. Center St., this week initiated plans to change the areas to residential-agriculture so the property can be developed normally according to needs. One parcel is located east of Lincoln School on the south side of Center St. The second is on the north side of Center St., across from Lincoln School and the third area is between Larch and Evergreen Sts., on the north side of Center street. Planners also voted to recommend to the City Council that the Orange Ave., anhexation proceedings be commenced immediately. The plot contains 815 acres and represents the largest single piece of property ever to be considered The British Embassy's food mission in Washington has indicted that bids will be called for Friday or Monday for millions worth of California which Great Britain intends purchase. A supplier's list will be used in calling bids. Observers say the deal will California citrus growers andners an opportunity to u $5,000,000 in surplus fruit in ain this year via an open method. The U.S. foreign operations ministrations will underwrite chases in the amount of $2,500 for fresh oranges, fresh grape and canned grapefruit sections in the amount of $2,500,000 canned peaches and/or apricots.

I admit that; but she understands me! 7. 'Goo-goo-goo.' Did you hear that, Gertrude? Listen carefully, she says 'Grandpa.' WHILE STARING at a page of the Santa Ana Cash Register Monday night I ran across this paragraph in a story describing the week-end tornadoes in the south: "The return visit of the Southland's spring scourge came a few hours after the Weather Bureau lifted a tornado alert." Yep, take's a lot of scourage to face one of them there twisters. And then, enthralled, my fascinated gaze roved on to another story, this one describing a fierce action between French and communist troops in Indochina. This paragraph transcended all others for sheer brilliance of the typographic art: "Then, as they had on Saturday, wave after wave of guble-blowing rebel troops surged forward against the brixtling barbed wire barriers ringing the French positions." Oh, well, nothing to worry about here. The French military has traditionally maintained an impregnable system of defense against gubles. Next, I turned to Westbrook Pegler's column, digested as much of it as is safe for a wavering metabolism, then spent the rest of the evening kicking the dog. THE GAZETTE has long been on the mailing list of the Orlando, Florida Sentinel-Star, a daily of 85,000-plus circulation published in Orange county, Florida. An article of some interest in that paper recently told of a decision by the City Council to make mandatory the closing of ALL business places "not necessary to public health and welfare" on Sundays. The Seventh Day Adventists there, who do not observe the regular Sabbath in their doctrine, are fighting the law to no avail. In view of cases such as this, can one say "this is truly the land Boats Inspected At Harbor, Sunday The United States Coast Guard, charged with maintaining safety at sea in the operation of pleasure and commercial craft, will hold a free boat inspection at its base in Newport Harbor, Sunday, March 21. All owners of pleasure craft in the Newport-Balboa area are urged to bring their boats to the dock between the hours of 10:00 a.m., and 4:00 p.m., for safety inspection. The Coast Guard Auxiliary will assist regular Coast Guard officers, and boats passing all safety requirements will be given a decal which will assure the craft owners they will not be boarded at sea by regular Coast Guard patrol boats. Craft not meeting all federal safety requirements will be given two or three weeks time to make necessary changes without penalty or fine. Desiring to minimize the number of accidents at sea, Coast Guard officers of the 11th Coast Guard district have established this pre-season inspection. San Diego Dealer Opens Local Office The J. S. Schirm company, with canned peaches and/or apricots will be announced in London the British Food Ministry all bids are received. An eminent spokesman said it is highly difficult that the entire requirement would be for one commodity; all probability both peaches and apricots will be purchased. If the entire $2,500,000 formed fruit were spent on peaches it would buy about 500,000 Canners have estimated the surplus crop at 2,000,000 cMuch of the surplus is stored Santa Clara warehouses. Delay by the British government in issuing the requisitions fresh citrus is expected to pay a boon to California growers. Florida season is nearly over while the California citrus is coming on the market. It is likely the bulk of the purse would be made in Southern fornia. Former Anaheim Pastor Takes New Post in Missouri The Rev. L. E. Elfert, pastor of Zion Lutheran church will be installed pastor of Bethem Lutheran Church of St. Isis, Mo., March 28. Prior to acceptance of the call he was rector of the central and southern states areas for the Luther Service Commission.

The Seventh Day Adventists there, who do not observe the regular Sabbath in their doctrine, are fighting the law to no avail. In view of cases such as this, can one say "this is truly the land of the free" and keep a straight face? THINGS ARE pretty erudite out our way. The owls out there don't say "To-whit to who." They say "To-whit to whom." DOC ANKLAM, writing in the Shidler, Oklahoma, Review (one of the plains states' most outspoken newspapers, says: "Pears to me there are three kinds of people: The few who make things happen; the many who watch things happen, and then the big majority who have no idea what has happened." To which we would add a fourth category: Those who just don't give a damn what happens. COMMENTING ON the incidence of violent crime-laden TV programs which our young fry currently enjoy, the Presbyterian church magazine Forward tells of the case of a little boy whose parents had set him up with a new TV set and a maid. One day he turned away from the TV set long enough to ask the maid about her parents. She said they were dead. "Dead?" he asked. "Who killed them?" To prove my contention that modern school kids aren't receiving proper education in geography, I will give a dollar to the first high school student who can tell me where the Tumuc Humac mountains are located. San Diego Dealer Opens Local Office The J. S. Schirm company, with home office in San Diego, dealers in building supplies since 1885, have established an office and warehouse in Anaheim at 1320 W.

Mother Colony Hospital Fund Adds $1000 From Junior Ebell Benefit The Mother Colony Hospital fund has been swelled by $1,000 thanks to the public spirited young matrons who arranged the 15th annual fashion show and dessert sponsored by the Anaheim Junior Ebell society and the more than 300 lbcal women who enjoyed the afternoon party. Additional profits of $268 will go into a scholarship fund for an AUHS senior student, according to Mrs. Eldon Hauck, general chairman for the successful affair.

YMCA Announces Foreign Student Ambassador Summer Project Here With the YMCA Tri-Hi-Y and Hi-Y' Clubs as sponsors, Anaheim will host this summer to a group of 11 foreign students, who will spend a full month in our community, living in the homes of Anaheim youth, and participating in a program of international relations at the person to person level. Directed by Mrs. Nan A. Moore, Girls' Work YMCA Secretary, local youth have made arrangements for the foreign group's visit. They come to this country under the auspices of the Experiment in International Living, with headquarters in Putney, Vermont, and are then housed in American communities in groups of ten plus a leader. "This gives opportunity for youth to bridge the gap that divides peoples of different languages and customs, to understand our not-so-foreign neighbors who live in another land, and provides ways for American youth to demonstrate the very finest in American Democracy," says Mrs. Moore. The foreign student group's nationality has not been definitely determined, but plans point to Norwegian or Danish students. The program has been in operation on the east coast for a number of years, but because of the cost of travel, California has not had such a setup. The local 'Y' Group have assumed the responsibility of raising funds to cover travel cost from the Port of Debarkation, either in New York or Montreal, to Anaheim and return, plus food cost enroute. A Community Program The event is of interest to a whole community, providing opportunity to be really neighbors to a community across the globe. Interested individuals and organizations are invited to participate and to assist in underwriting the expenses of such an adventure. To date, two groups have offered to help—the Anaheim Assistance League, and the Anaheim Y's Men Club.

Trojan Kicking Ace Sets New World Marks in Contest Desmond Koch, perhaps the greatest kicker in the history of football, has won individual honors in the National Football Kicking Contest of 1953, it was announced by Archie Richardson and officials of the Southern California Rugby Football Union. The team competition—which consists of three-man amateur teams from all over the United States trying for distance with both the American football and the Rugby ball, with the aggregate total of punt, drop-kick and place-kick determining the winner—was won by the University of Southern California. S. C. team members who figured in the victory were Koch, Robert Gerst and Harry Welch. Booting both American and the Rugby ball, Koch had an aggregate total for three methods—punting, drop-kicking and place-kicking—of 394 yards 8½ inches, which was enough to win him individual honors.

S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel's intention to seek re-election came Friday when the Anaheim man filed on both the Republican and Democratic tickets. The senator filed in the office of Orange County Clerk B. J. Smith at Santa Ana. Formal nominating papers went into circulation next day. The documents were filed in the presence of Sen. Kuchel's mother, Mrs. Henry Kuchel, by Lyle C. Newcomer, Southern California campaign chairman; Thomas J. Mellon, Northern California campaign chairman; Robert C. Mize and Mildred C. I. Ferrell, both of Santa Ana who are co-chairmen of the Orange County campaign committee.

Kuchel was re-elected assemblyman, was sent to the State Senate for two terms and then was named state controller. He was twice retained in the controller's office, winning the two elections by majorities of votes from both parties at the primaries. His career as a state office holder was interrupted for service in World War II as a Navy officer. He was serving as state controller when ex-Governor Warren appointed him U. S.

Two Morning Worship Services The First Presbyterian church Anaheim, 310 W. Broadway, announced that beginning with this day, March 21, there will be morning worship services in the sanctuary, one at 9:15 a.m. and the other at 10:45 a.m. Highway Lane Passing on the right may be a short cut to the cemetery. A recent rash of violations of right hand passing provisions prompts this warning from the California Highway Patrol. "Passing on the right of another vehicle is permitted only on multiple lane divided highways, one way streets, city streets wide enough for two lanes of traffic in either direction, and highways outside cities that are clearly marked for four lanes of moving traffic, explained Patrol Commissioner B. R. Caldwell. "Many motorists have acquired the mistaken impression that the intention to make a right turn at an intersection entitles them to pass to the right of a long line of vehicles stopped for a traffic signal on a two lane street. The driver of a motor vehicle may overtake and pass another vehicle upon the right only under conditions permitting such movement in safety. In no event, however, shall such movement be made by driving off the paved or main portion of the highway." "In California last year 114 mental accidents were caused by improper passing, and an additional 1552 injury residents resulted from from these same violations in the unincorporated areas of the state alone. Unfortunately, the improper passing movements by motorists which caused practically everyone of these deaths and injuries were calculated maneuvers," he declared. "Part of this problem will be solved if motorists traveling at speeds slower than the normal flow of traffic will remain in the right hand lane as required by law," Caldwell added. Board of Education Meets Twice Month Because of the tremendous increase of the work load, the Anaheim City Board of Education will meet twice monthly from now until July. Meetings will be held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month.

They will meet quarterly to study reports made by agencies within the Chest and will also study budgets to be submitted by agencies in July. They function as an advisory group to the Chest board of directors. His career as a state office holder was interrupted for service in World War II as a Navy officer. He was serving as state controller when ex-Governor Warren appointed him U. S. Senator in place of Richard Nixon. In the first session of the 83rd Congress, Kuchel introduced 18 bills and saw President Eisenhower sign five of them into law. He is a member of the Committee of Interior and Insular Affairs and of the Committee of Public Works. He was born in 1910 in Anaheim, which his grand-parents helped found and is married to the former Miss Betty Mellenthin of Santa Ana. They have one daughter, Karen.

War Experiences By Local Pastor Told Men's Group "Half Slave and Half Free" was the subject of the Rev. Berthold Jacksteit's address Wednesday noon at the first Men's Lenten Luncheon at the YMCA, according to Dave Collins, chairman. The theme for the entire series of five Wednesday luncheons is: "The World We Live In." Rev. Jacksteit, who is pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church, spent his early life in Europe. During World War I his family were living in the Russian Ukraine, and his father, being a German National, was interned by the Russians. His mother, however, was given 24 hours notice to flee the country with her 7 children. For the remainder of the war the Jacksteits were displaced persons in Germany and the family separated in three different camps. After the war the family was reunited in Germany and in 1921 they came to this country and resided at Rochester, N.Y.
