OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Well, there's one thing we can say about Senator Jack Tenney: he ain't getting any Younger. Tuesday's primary election opened a few eyes in California, and it was fun to participate in it, even if one's activity was limited to nothing more important than the actual mechanics of voting. For the first time in 40 years, California voters scanning their ballots at the primary could actually see whether the persons they were voting for were Democrat or Republican. There is much pro and con about the unique California system of cross-filling at primary elections, but so far as your correspondent is concerned, the addition of "Rep." and "Dem." after the candidates' names made this primary election exactly what it was supposed to be: an elimination contest. In other words, no candidate was flying false colors at this slugfest. In the past, many and many a voter at the primaries has put his "X" after a name on the ballot thinking that he was striking a blow for his party, only to cast an unintentional vote for the opposition. There are many who contend that voters should not hew to the party line but should vote for the candidate. This, to a degree, is a sensible thesis, but how are the "outs" going to get "in" without collective and concerted effort? This primary has put an end, once and for all, to the familiar 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, O Kuchel, Yorty Face Runoff Incumbent U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel (R-Calif.) of Anaheim faces a November run-off election against Samuel Yorty (Dem.) after incomplete results of balloting in Tuesday's primary voting. In nearly 12,000 precincts over the state, Kuchel garnered 744,898 votes. Yorty brought in 118,478 to make him the leading candidate for the Democratic party for the post of U. S. Senator in the November elections. Some political observers believe the results of Tuesday's election show an upset which may mark victories in many quarters for Democrats. It was the first time in recent years that voters showed a marked tendency to follow party lines closely. In the 28th Congressional district Cong. James Utt received the Republican party nomination but failed to outrun Mrs Harriet Endler of Santa Ana on the Democratic side and will have to run again in the fall. In the county, Robert P. Kneeland, young chief trial deputy in the district attorney's office, nearly doubled the totals of his three competitors for the office. Kneeland tallied 35,590 votes The public subscription of $750,000 for the construction of St. Jude Hospital, in Sunny Hills has been reached and construction on the $2,000,000 100-bed hospitals will commence in October, it was announced today by Harvey E Stonehouse, general chairman of the fund campaign drive. The goal was reached wher Adolf Schoepe, President of Kwikset Locks, Inc., Anaheim, gave the hospital building fund a check for $2500 in order to bring the cam paim to a swift and successful "X" after a name on the ballot thinking that he was striking a blow for his party, only to cast an unintentional vote for the opposition. There are many who contend that voters should not hew to the party line but should vote for the candidate. This, to a degree, is a sensible thesis, but how are the "outs" going to get "in" without collective and concerted effort? This primary has put an end, once and for all, to the familiar picture of high-level politicians capturing double nominations. From here on out it will be, to a greater degree, partisan voting in the primaries, and a return to the traditional two-party system. May the best man win. At least one contest for the California Assembly created much interest, and the outcome gratified a lot of people from one end of the state to the other. In this battle we saw a politically inexperienced housewife whip the tail off of a character who has long posed as a patriot behind a cloud of spurious political evangelism, at the same time fomenting class and religious hatred. The best man won in this case, even if it was a woman. I don't go along with those citizens who say that voting is a privilege, and that they are privileged to vote, or not to vote. Voting is not necessarily a privilege. It is a duty . . . a bounden duty. The secret ballot is the keystone of our country, our society. Failure to vote through apathy or laziness makes a hollow mockery of everything which this country holds dear: our Constitution; our Bill of Rights; our rich tradition of constant vigilance to insure the sweet right to walk as free men; it desecrates the memory of those who, from the time of the Revolutionary War, have sluiced the battlefields with their blood. Regardless of the outcome of an election, a heavy vote alerts the public office holder to the power of a vibrant public, and he treads carefully and surely and with probity in resolving vital issues. Conversely, a light showing at the polls gives him license to sit back and relax in the knowledge that very few constituents give a damn anyway, so why not run the office as he sees fit? That is why I can't go along with those befuddled persons who In the 28th Congressional district Cong. James Utt received the Republican party nomination but failed to outrun Mrs Harriet Enderle of Santa Ana on the Democratic side and will have to run again in the fall. In the county, Robert P. Kneeland, young chief trial deputy in the district attorney's office, nearly doubled the totals of his three competitors for the office. Kneeland tallied 35,590 votes against 6,783 for Elmer Guy of Fullerton, 6,492 for Frank Linnell, former Newport City judge, and 6,379 for Robert W. Fraser of Corona del Mar. In the race for Fourth District supervisor, Cecil J. Marks, former secretary of Orange County Farm ureau, and William Hirstein, former Orange mayor, wound up only eight votes apart and will compete in the November general election. Their count was 2,171 for Hirstein and 2,163 for Marks. The winner will replace Willard Smith of Villa Park who is retiring after more than 30 years on the Orange County Board of Supervisors. Harry Fox, Anaheim business man, will be in the November run-off with incumbent Le Roy Lyon, Jr., for the post of 75th District Assemblyman. Fox carried the Democratic votes in the area and Lyon had the backing of his Republican party followers. Incumbent Assemblyman Earl W. Stanley of Newport Beach will compete with Claud W. Carrick, San Clemente city councilman, in the November run-off for Stanley's seat as representative of the 74th assembly district. Stanley defeated Norman Miller, former Newport Beach mayor, by more than 3,000 votes for the party nomination. Charles Hindley, Santa Ana, 1,020; Joseph P. Brophy, Santa Ana, 747; Carrick, on the Republican ticket, 666 votes. On the Democratic party nomination Carrick got 5,518 votes and Stanley 2,978. This Year's Final Deanery Meeting Mrs. L. A. Benner of Anaheim, presided at the Orange County Deanery Meeting held on June 1 in Friedman Hall, Orange. For this year's final meeting a beautiful shrine honoring the Blessed Mother was set up in the meeting $750,000 for the construction of St. Jude Hospital, in Sunny Hills has been reached and construction on the $2,000,000 100-bed hospital will commence in October, it was announced today by Harvey E Stonehouse, general chairman of the fund campaign drive. The goal was reached when Adolf Schopee, President of Kwikset Locks, Inc., Anaheim gave the hospital building fund a check for $2500 in order to bring the campaign to a swift and successful conclusion. Mr. Stonehouse said Mr. Schopee's action "is typical of Kwikset's enthusiastic support of all worthwhile community enterprises." Kwikset was the first contributor to the fund six months ago when the company donated $20,000. Later Kwikset employee also made a substantial contribution. The hospital will be operated by the Sisters of St. Joseph who also operate the highly successful St. Joseph hospital in Orange and other hospitals in California. The facilities of St. Jude will be available to all who need them. The Sisters of St. Joseph also contributing $750,000 to the construction and equipping of St. Jude. An additional $500,000 expected from a Hill Burton federal hospital grant sometime in August. The need for the hospital has been established with Hill-Burton administrators, and the St Jude priority is high on the Hill-Burton list. The successful completion of the drive has been under the leadership of Mr. Stonehouse, who has neglected his other interests in order to devote full time to the drive. Mr. Stonehouse stated that the campaign goal has been accomplished through the cooperative efforts of the petroleum industry, manufacturing, the medical profession, service and church organizations, and individual public subscriptions which include large-scale fund drives in Fullerton, Placentia, La Habra, Anaheim, Buena Park, Yorba Linda, and Brea. “There has been a tremendous amount of thought, energy, and money put behind this campaign on the part of the various committee members and solicitors,” Mr. Stonehouse said. “We feel an unprecedented response has been made on the part of the donors. Other such campaigns have con- Regardless of the outcome of an election, a heavy vote alerts the public office holder to the power of a vibrant public, and he treads carefully and surely and with probity in resolving vital issues. Conversely, a light showing at the polls gives him license to sit back and relax in the knowledge that very few constituents give a damn anyway, so why not run the office as he sees fit? That is why I can't go along with those befuddled persons who say: "Oh well, it won't make any difference who gets into office anyway, so why vote?" Or who take the easy way out by declaring: "I don't know anything about the candidates, so why vote for or against them?" I voted in a modest farm house out in the orange groves near Garden Grove. There was nothing impressive about the place. It was just an average American farm home, full of nice people. No formality. The clerk, a middle-aged lady, was even a bit flustered (she handed me a Prohibition ballot first). In the privacy of the voting booth, one of three rigged up in the front room, I looked at the names on my ballot and caught myself smiling cynically and wondering if this act meant anything at all. Then, for no apparent reason, the words of a radio newscaster I had heard earlier that day came back with great clarity: "The government of Guatemala today announced a 30-day suspension of constitutional guarantees, including the right of free press, free speech and assembly." Although it was warm in the room, I felt a bit of a chill, and thought: If they can suspend those freedoms for 30 days and get away with it, they can do it for 30 years. I then got back to the job of marking my ballot, and without On the Democratic party nomination Carrick got 5,518 votes and Stanley 2,978. This Year's Final Deanery Meeting Mrs. L. A. Benner of Anaheim, presided at the Orange County Deanery Meeting held on June 1 in Friedman Hall, Orange. For this year's final meeting a beautiful shrine honoring the Blessed Mother was set up in the meeting room. The luncheon preceding the business session was attended by 130 members. Program chairman, Mrs. Frank Baeskens of Orange, presented guest speaker, Mrs. Alfredo Sanez, of Santa Monica, chairman of cooperating with the Spanish speaking people committee, and a member of Los Angeles Archdiocesan Board. Monsignor Michael O'Conner was also guust speaker and he congratulated Mrs. Sanez on her excellent work among Mexican people, and asked members to assist in this "good neighbor" work. Layettes and other hand made articles for the Pope's storeroom were on display. Altar society members will carry on this work during the summer. ENJOYED CAMPING TRIP A wonderful camping trip is reported by Girl Scouts of Troop 28, fifth graders of Benjamin Franklin school. They camped in O'Nell park accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Herb Leo, Mr. and Mrs. James Dilley, Mr. and Mrs. George Rose and Mrs. John Kerns. a trace of cynicism in my soul. Our only weapon against demagoguery, duplicity, bigotry and suppression is the free ballot. Why fritter it away through lack of use? There has been a tremendous amount of thought, energy, and money put behind this campaign on the part of the various committee members and solicitors," Mr. Stonehouse said. "We feel an unprecedented response has been made on the part of the donors. Other such campaigns have consumed three to five years to accomplish what has been done here in six months.

Exposition, June 24-July 5 Previews of Progress; dramatic, non-technical science show sponsored by General Motors, will be shown at the Southern California Exposition at Del Mar, June 24 through July 5. Admission will be free. This show will graphically present many of the most recent developments in scientific research contributing to a more enjoyable and comfortable life in the years to come. An experiment, comparing with any feat of magic, is the manufacture of synthetic rubber. The demonstrator merely pours two liquids into a pop bottle and shakes it about sixty seconds, out jumps a large ball of white, fluffy "Jumping Rubber" twelve or fifteen times the volume of the bottle containing it. Microwaves wiggling through the air at 10 billion a second speed and carrying piggy-back thousands of telephone messages and several TV programs with them at the same time will be demonstrated in the "Previews" presentation. Modern jet propulsion application will be illustrated in two ways. First, a miniature jet engine, operating on the same principle as the German V-1 buzz bomb, will be placed in actual operation after being anchored in place. Following this demonstration, models of a Douglas Sky-streak fighter plane and a V-2 rocket will be driven at high speed the entire length of the tent, propelled by tiny but powerful jets of compressed gas.
