OBLONG VIEWS
(From an Egg-Shaped Head)
By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B.
"Big Red enters the chamber. He's quickly seated in one of the two metal chairs, strapped down. One end of an electric stethoscope is taped to his chest. A guard pats him on the back, says, 'Good luck.' ...
"10:02. The guards hurriedly exit. One of them twirls the spoked wheel that seals the chamber door airtight. Official witnesses stare at Big Red through the thick glass windows of this squat, infallible chamber of death.
'His face an expressionless mask, the warden signals the executioner. The executioner swiftly operates his levers.
"Big Red hears the 'plop, plop, plop' of the deadly cyanide 'eggs' as they drop into the acid pan beneath the chair. The chemical reaction is immediate; hydrocyanic gas generates, swirls up, envelops him in an invisible fog.
"Big Red sniffs tentatively. His nostrils twitch at the pungent, sickening-sweet odor of peach blossoms. He gulps a lungful of the deadly fumes; his senses reel giddily, then swiftly dim. As consciousness recedes into a final darkness, he strains once desperately at his straps. His eyes glaze. They no longer see; they will never see again. His head falls forward, grotesquely, but he's wholly unaware of this. He has fallen into a black and bottomless pit; for ten minutes the process of dying goes on. His body jerks, convulses. Once. Twice. Three times. His heart races, pounds like a sledge hammer; then it slows and slows and
82 YEARS OF DEVOTION

VOLUME LXXXIII
ANAHEIM,
Anaheim Gets $103,100 of M.V.L. Fees
Robert C. Kirkwood, State Controller, estimates that Anaheim will receive $103,100, and Orange County $878,400 during the fiscal year 1954-55 as apportionments of Motor Vehicle License Fees ("In lieu") Tax).
The incorporated cities' share will approximate $4.61 per capita, and the counties' share, $3.66. This is a 9.2% increase over the current fiscal year amounting to $6,-600,000, said Kirkwood.
Total Motor Vehicle License Fee ("In lieu") Tax collections for the next fiscal year will approximate $83,000,000, said Kirkwood.
To this will be added $8,549,000 in estimated receipts for June, 1954.
From the $89,549,000 total will be deducted $2,512,000 for debt service on State Highway Bonds,$2,589,000 for support of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and $6,903,000 in estimated receipts for June, 1955.
POSTMEN'S WALK
Anaheim's booming reside from city councilmen when they up action on four other maps.
However, the delaying acts plans and elevations demanded.
The 149-lot tract of the Broadway Center Co., of Anaheim located between Broadway and Santa Ana and fronting on S. East St., received final approval. In giving the green light to the project, councilmen stipulated that Broadway must be put through to Placentia Ave., and the cost of improving the street must be borne by the subdivider.
Louis Laramore received final approval for his 119-lot tract between Crescent and La Polma Aves., as did the map of the Hahn-St. John Co., which has 48 parcels north of Romneya Dr., east of Raymond Avenue.
The tentative tract map of George Buccola at the southeast corner of W. La., Palma and Euclid Ave., containing 97 lots, was accepted.
A tentative map was approved for the Phoenix Gymnasium.
This is the way the State of California kills felons up at San Quentin. The words are written by Caryl Chessman, author of the book "Cell 2455, Death Row."
Chessman, 33, condemned to death for violating the so-called California "Little Lindbergh" law (abduction) will whiff the gas he see graphically describes tomorrow unless the governor stays the hand of the executioner.
Chessman, convicted as the notorious Los Angeles "Red Light Bandit," describes in his book a life of crime but claims he is innocent of the one for which he was condemned to death. His book is an interesting one, and undoubtedly will supply fuel for the fires of those who oppose capital punishment.
Read it. If it does nothing else, it will make you think.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles should have the sympathy of all Americans. Representing the United States in high places, and using as his "big stick" the threat of "massive retaliation" for any aggressive moves by the Communists, he must feel rather embarrassed at the world-wide publicity the current McCarthy-Army hearings have engendered.
Foreigners probably now regard the U.S. Army as an impotent, communist-ridden thing which is incapable of scaring anybody.
Thanks to the junior senator from Wisconsin.
On the other hand, however, an investigation of the Army is probably a good thing. I investigated it for 4½ years and still didn't like it.
Lockset Service Club Awards Pins
To this will be added $8,549,000 in estimated receipts for June, 1954. From the $89,549,000 total will be deducted $2,512,000 for debt service on State Highway Bonds, $2,589,000 for support of the Department of Motor Vehicles, and $6,903,000 in estimated receipts for June, 1955.
POSTMEN'S WALK SLATED TONIGHT
Two hundred postmen from all sections of Orange County will take part in the "Postmen's Walk" Thursday from 7 to 9:30 p.m., to gather funds so that approximately 700 cerebral palsy victims in the county some day may walk.
Superior Judge Robert Gardner, 1954 Cerebral Palsy fund campaign chairman, said postmen on city and rural routes will retrace their paths on their own time and out of uniform on behalf of the palsy.
Postmen will stop for donations at all homes which have porchlights burning as a signal of willingness to donate, the judge declared. Since the men will be out of uniform, he said, they will be wearing Cerebral Palsy identification badges.
In urging Orange countians to turn on their porchlights and take part in alding cerebral palsy victims, Judge Gardner said, "Unlike some other major health ailments, against which we can be rendered immune, Cerebral Palsy is an insidious condition against which there is no insurance.
"It can—and does—strike anyone, of any age, any color and creed, at any time in life. It could strike your neighbor, or your child—it could strike even you.
"There is no known preventive, no known cure. But many of the nation's 550,000 and Orange County's 700 CPs can overcome the disability, and to help them to do it United Cerebral Palsy of Orange County is now conducting a campaign to establish and carry out therapy and workshop programs to enable those afflicted to become self-sustaining and fit into society."

Scouts Launch Soil, Water Project
A better understanding of the need of adequate protection and wise management of America's soil and water resources is the goal of a twopronged action program of the Boy Scouts of America during the spring and summer months.
This emphasis is part of the National Conservation Good Turn of the Boy Scouts, and has been developed as the result of a request to Dr. Arthur A. Schuck, Chief Executive from President Eisenhower.
"Ours is truly a grassroots program," Dr. Shuck has said. "The land across America, and the resulting conservation problems and techniques, differs so widely that obviously Scout projects must be geared to the needs and problems of local communities. We will work with the thousands of professionally trained men representing federal, state and independent conservation agencies and gear our efforts into the locally planned operations of the professional groups."
The program has received the endorsement and support of Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson, Soil Conservation Service Administrator Donald Williams and Extension Service Director C. M. Ferguson.
"We are happy to welcome the Boy Scouts and their leaders as partners in the movement to conserve our natural resources," said Mr. Benson, who began in 1918 as an Assistant Scoutmaster, and who has been on the Executive Board of the Boy Scouts since 1950.

Disneyland to be Area’s Major Tourist Attraction
Construction on the $9,000,00 amusement park, "Disneyland" at Katella and Harbor Blvd., is scheduled to get underway next month, bringing to Orange County what promises to be the Southland's major amusement attraction.
The project will be built by Walt Disney of cartoon motion picture fame who hopes to open it in 15 months.
Disneyland will be placed on a 100-acre site which will include parking for 15,000 cars, a miniature elevated railroad that will offer a view of the entire project, stages, steamboats and many other features that will make it a veritable fairyland.
The creator of such cartoon film greats as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and others has estimated that 2,000,000 tourists will visit the attraction each year. Average cost per head will be $2 and a tour of the place will probably take ½ hours, according to present estimates.
Under present plans, the visitor will enter a replica of a 1910 town which will feature pony-drawn carriages, restaurants and shops that will sell Disney merchandise. Tropical fish and birds will be featured in a botanical garden patterned after San Francisco's old Crystal Palace.
Animated imitation alligators and "headhunters" will be around when the visitor takes a boat ride.
The "World of Tomorrow" will be viewed from an over-hanging monorail car and industries will be invited to put up exhibits of inventions of the future.
Visitors may step into a "rocket" for a trip to the moon by means of film projected on windows. The seats will jiggle and sound effects will heighten the illusion of a flight among meteors. Youngsters will be able
