OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. An idea was put forth by a Los Angeles resident this week which makes for good thinking: Would it not be a fine idea for the Senate to appropriate a sum equal to the cost of the McCarthy-Army hearings to be allocated to the national cancer fund? As is my wont upon occasion, I dropped into the Anaheim public library yesterday afternoon to pick up a couple of books. One book was about Guatemala which I thought would be timely reading. The other I just plucked at random from a shelf without even flipping through it. Its title was "Life on an Ice Floe" and it sounded interesting. At home after dinner, I yanked the lead-in wire off the TV set, told the kid to get to bed and curled up on the divan with "Life on Ice Floe." It was not until then that I noticed the author's name: Ivan Papanin. This caused a rippling chill to course down my vertebrae. What kind of literature had I brought into the home? Nervously, I started reading the book. It describes the adventures of a scientific expedition sent to the Arctic region on May 21, 1937, to live on a floating hunk of ice for the purpose of studying weather, ocean currents, marine life, and other data. Four men made up the party: Ernst Teordrich, Pyotr Petrovich, Zhenya, and the author. By and large, the book is an interesting account of scientific investigation, written in the form of a diary. But it is interlarded with such a running account of communist party propaganda as to be almost ridiculous. School Board 42 YEARS OF DEVOTION ANAHEIM VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, Anaheim to Get Extended Telephone Service Nov. 1 Extended service with free dialing to many Orange County communities will come to Anaheim by Nov. 1 when new Pacific Telephone and Telegraph facilities will be put into operation. Anaheim subscribers will be able to call, dialing direct, Santa Ana, Brea, Buena Park, Fullerton Garden Grove, Costa Mesa, Orange and Placentia. Ronald Anderson, manager of the Santa Ana Exchange of the PT & T said plans call for completion of the new Orange building with dialing equipment in October. The exchange will be Kellogg 8. Santa Ana and Garden Grove will be able to call the above listed exchanges, including Anaheim plus Newport Beach. Fullerton Placentia, Anaheim and Orange will not be able to call Newport Beach without additional charge. All other county exchanges will be available to these areas. The Liberty 8 exchange serving Costa Mesa will be free dial service, but the Newport Beach ex Arctic region on May 21, 1937, to live on a floating hunk of ice for the purpose of studying weather, ocean currents, marine life, and other data. Four men made up the party: Ernst Teordrich, Pyotr Petrovich, Zhenya, and the author. By and large, the book is an interesting account of scientific investigation, written in the form of a diary. But it is interlarded with such a running account of communist party propaganda as to be almost ridiculous. Shocked, I thought: And I got it right off the shelves of our public library! An incidental purpose of the expedition was to provide radio contact with the plane of Valery Chkalov who, in the summer of 1937, made the first non-stop flight from Moscow across the North Pole to America, coming down in the state of Washington. With him were George Baldukov and A. Beliakov. In December, 1938, Chkalov was killed in an airplane crash in Moscow. The book (translated from the Russian) says nothing about what happened to Baldukov and Beliakov, and as yet Senator McCarthy has made no claims that the two men finally wound up as colonels in the Pentagon. But then, it is only 9:30 a.m. as this is being written. Here is an example of the communist party line with which the book is liberally laced: June 28 "While the cabbage soup was boiling, Krenkel was communicating with Rudolf Island. He transmitted to the mainland the results of the meteorological observations which I took by myself today. "Then he got the news that the Government had honored me with the title Hero of the Soviet Union. When he told me this, tears of joy trickled down my cheeks. Ernst, Pyotr Petrovich, and Zhenya have been decorated with the Order of Lenin. "I recalled the words of our beloved Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, our dear teacher and leader who had called us the heroic wintering party. "I tapped a keg of cognac, and we drank to the health of our beloved Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, kissed and congratulated one another, vowed to work to the last moment, sparing no effort, and to accomplish more than ever" ARMY POLICEMAN PFC Gene Ware of Buena Park, Calif., is a policeman in the Army's 558th Military Police Company, which recently received its third Meritorious Unit Commendation in Korea. The company security for Eighth Army headquarters. Ware, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Ware, 8182 Circle "C" street, entered the Army in March 1952 and arrived in Korea the following September. (U. S. Army Photo) Ballots Sent Walnut Prod. The United States Department of Agriculture this week is mailing ballots to between 9,000 and 10,000 "Independent" walnut producers on the Pacific Coast, who have until midnight Saturday, June 26, to vote whether they favor proposed amendments to the three-state federal marketing agreement program. Warren C. Noland, field representative in Los Angeles for the Fruit and Vegetable Division of the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service, said the ballots are intended to reach all growers in California, Oregon and Washington who do not sell their walnuts through a cooperative marketing association. Those producers who will not be represented in the voting by a cooperative association and who fail to receive a ballot by mail, may obtain one at offices of the Agricultural Extension Service in walnut-producing counties, Noland said. Major amendments proposed in the order would: (1) Extend regulation to shellied as well as unshelled walnuts. (2) Authorize within-state as well as interstate regulation. (3) Constitute a district of Oregon and Washington, separate from California. (4)) Increase membership of the Walnut Control Board to 10 by addition of a sheller representative. Santa Ana and Garden Grove will be able to call the above listed exchanges, including Anaheim plus Newport Beach. Fullerton Placentia, Anaheim and Orange will not be able to call Newport Beach without additional charge. All other county exchanges will be available to these areas. The Liberty 8 exchange serving Costa Mesa will be free dial service, but the Newport Beach exchange change of Harbor will still be serviced by the operator without charge for persons calling from Santa Ana and Garden Grove. Anderson said the new fall telephone books will go to press on September 27 and be ready for distribution November 1, including all new numbers and the free dialing exchange plans. Laguna Beach, Westminster and Huntington Beach areas which are serviced by the General Telephone Co., will not be included in the over-all extended service plan Anderson said. He said that to cover the cost of extended service there will be a slight base rate adjustment, but plans are as yet incomplete as to how the adjustment will be handled by the company. Local Grads from L. B. City College Donning mortar boards and gowns, seven residents of Anaheim will graduate this June from Long Beach State College with Bachelor of Arts degrees, while two will be receiving their Master of Arts degrees from the college. This year's graduation ceremonies mark the largest in the College's five-year history, with a total of 620 students participating in the commencement exercises according to Dr David L. Bryant Executive Dean of the College. Students graduating from Long Beach State College who live in Anaheim are: James Carl Berneker, 628 So Janss, (MA); Colton Carlyle Carmine, 1730 E. Secamore, (BA); Dorothy C. Cox, 910 N. Janss, (BA); Madelyne Ellen Gillette, 530 S. Clementine, (BA); Mirian I. Krumanaker, 8341 Magnolia Ave., (BA); Charles John Lusin, 421 W. Sycamore, (BA); Gordon P. Maloche, 10402 S.Dickel, (MA) James Philip Webb, 900 N. Clem entine, (BS); and Patricia Louis Whitehouse, 818 S. Helena, (BA) "I recalled the words of our beloved Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, who had called us the heroic wintering party. "I tapped a keg of cognac, and we drank to the health of our beloved Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, kissed and congratulated one another, vowed to work to the last moment, sparing no effort, and to accomplish more than ever to justify the trust placed in us." "Even my old father sent a radiogram from Sebastopol. He says I must justify Stalin's faith in me. "Dear Father, it was you who brought me up, but only Stalin gave me happiness. I shall never foregret him. I shall always prove myself worthy of his love, no matter what circumstances I find myself in. Only he, the beloved Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, is the great molder of human happiness." And so this book goes on. What about it, are we to allow such stuff to clutter up our library? Surely the local Book Watcher's Society, if it can yank such an innocuous thing as "Our Changing Social Order" out of the school library will not condone the retention of "Life on an Ice Floe" at the public library. Is Tom Hoag asleep at the switch? P.S. For one thing, this book seems to lend credulity to a suspicion long harbored by many of us: that Joe Stalin was an old vissarionovich. The area of American Samoa is 75 square miles. Major amendments proposed in the order would: (1) Extend regulation to shell-ed as well as unshelled walnuts. (2) Authorize within-state as well as interstate regulation. (3) Constitute a district of Oregon and Washington, separate from California. (4) Increase membership of the Walnut Control Board to 10 by addition of a sheller representative.

By Slim Margin ANAHEIM TTE NO. 82 $1,600,000 Proposal Wins By Only 24 Vote Margin By one of the narrowest margins in local history, a $1,600,000 elementary school bond yesterday was approved by voters in nine consolidated precincts by only 24 ballots more than needed to make the required two-thirds majority. A no-hum attitude was reflected in the election when only 2073 of approximately 12,000 eligible voters turned out to cast ballots. Unofficial returns show the precincts of Broadway, Fremont, Loara and Katella voted down the bond proposal. Total vote in the nine consolidated precincts made up of 44 voting precincts was: YES, 1407 and NO, 666. A total of 1392 'Yes' votes were needed to carry the issue. Seven absentee ballots are still to be polled. With the money from the bonds, trustees intend to build three 15-room schools, a five-room addition at Katella School, two cafeteriums, an administration building, bus garage, shops and warehouse and purchase furniture, desks and other school equipment. The three proposed 15-room schools will cost $381,000 each, and the sites it will be necessary to purchase for two of them will cost $36,500 each. One will be built in the nortwest part of Anaheim, a second in the southwest part of the city and the third on E. Fremont Street, on a site already owned by the school system.
