OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. This "unusual" hot spell which we have been enjoying around these parts has sure raised Old Harry with some of the plants and shrubbery around our house. Our landscaping has gone to pot, and the Mrs., cleaving to the line which is natural in all wives, blames the whole thing on me. Women seem to get the idea that all men are born with what successful gardeners mysteriously call the "green thumb." The fact is that some men can put seeds into the ground and reap a luxuriant bounty from Nature with little apparent effort. Other men, for all the results they get, would do just as well to take those same seeds and drop them off the pier down at Newport Beach. My neighbor, watching me plant beets last year, lent an optimistic note to the proceedings by announcing (without having been asked for advice): "them beets will never come up." Yet HIS garden produced beets on such a lavish scale as to establish him fairly early in the season as the Neighborhood Beet King. And his dark prophecy was borne out. The beets of mine never did come up. My amazing flair for growing things also extends over into the field of shrubbery and flowers. The roving dogs and neighborhood ragamuffins lend hearty support to the combined effort. What the dogs have done to our viburnum suspensum shouldn't even be done to pig weed. I suppose other home-owners have puzzled over the strange attraction that Janet Fukuda Is J.A.C.L. Queen Anaheim High Graduate Wins Top Honor Anaheim's reputation for home grown beauty in the fairer sex was raised another notch this week as Janet Fukuda, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William S. Fukuda of 15111 Orange Ave., was crowned queen of the National Japanese American Citizen League Convention on Sunday. A graduate of Anaheim Union High school, 19-year-old Miss Fukuda was chosen for the national beauty honor at the Pasadena residence of the Consulate-General of Japan after reaching the finals the previous Wednesday aboard the luxurious U. S. S. President Wilson which was docked at Wilmington. Miss Fukuda will reign over the 1500 delegates expected to attend. Theme of Anaheim's 31st with themes of the national announced this week by co-cert Wurgaft. Taking the theme "Le will produce what is expected and parade in the history brought as high as 150,000 parts of the nation. Themes for each of the five prize divisions will include: Division 1, Arabian Knights, under the marshalship of Dick Marcellus and Dick Carrol; Division 2, Pageant of Faith division marshal Robert Sweeney; Division 3, Rustic Hallowe'en with Avon Carlson as marshal; Division 4, All Nations, headed by Al Marcoux; Division 5, Disneyland, a production dedicated to the wonder land which is planned for Anaheim with Burr Williams as marshal. The entire festival program will include the Miss Hallowe'en ball and contest under the co-sponsor ship of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Senior Chamber Chairman of the event will prophecy was borne out. Them beets of mine never did come up. My amazing flair for growing things also extends over into the field of shrubbery and flowers. The roving dogs and neighborhood ragamuffins lend hearty support to the combined effort. What the dogs have done to our viburnum suspensum shouldn't even be done to pig weed. I suppose other home-owners have puzzled over the strange attraction that will cause a dog to jump over a piece of beef steak to get within easy range of a clump of brilliantly blooming zinnia. A friend (at least we thought she was friendly at the time) gave us a shrub which she called ligustrum japonica. It responded to loving attention, careful nurturing and prodigal fertilizing by drooping to the ground by day, when all decent shrubs are willing to stand up and be counted, and standing erect at night, when nobody could see it. Nobody but the gophers, that is. After a week or two of this, I finally ran over it with a wheelbarrow loaded with bricks and everyone around the place seemed happier. We also have a peculiar looking plant which whistles in the wind, but perhaps the least said about this one, the better. Another exotic plant which I tried to impose my will upon was called organensus escolonna, of Australian origin. It disappeared one week end. Probably went back to Australia. And there was another tall, spindly thing called "Storm King." It lived up to its name by snapping off at the base during a 5-knot gale one balmy Sunday afternoon. And, I am delighted to record, it died a slow and agonized death, just out of reach of a glass of water which I had placed two feet away. Also in the collection is a night-blooming cereus, but don't think I'm going out during the night to see if the thing is blooming. That would be the final, crushing disillusionment. Not the least of our aggregation of botanical delights is a ground-hugging, trailing vine which likes to reach out and grab the Mrs. around the ankle when she hangs up the wash. When pulled up by the roots and tossed out back on the trash pile, it lies there for a few days and then, at night, seems to crawl back to its original American Citizen League Convention on Sunday. A graduate of Anaheim Union High school, 19-year-old Miss Fukuda was chosen for the national beauty honor at the Pasadena residence of the Consulate-General of Japan after reaching the finals the previous Wednesday aboard the luxurious U. S. S. President Wilson which was docked at Wilmington. Miss Fukuda will reign over the 1500 delegates expected to attend the J. A. C. L., convention to be held in the Los Angeles Statter hotel September 2-6. The shapely Miss is 5' 2" tall and weighs 110 lbs. She is holder of a 4-year all-university scholarship at the University of Southern California, where she will be vice-president of the Associated Women Students in this, her Junior year. She is a member of the Orange County Chapter of the National Japanese American Citizen League. John Fowler Installed Head John Fowler became Noble Grand of Anaheim-Lodge 199, I.O.O.F.

Leadership Center For Jr. Red Cross Orange Coast College will be the scene of the 1954 Leadership Center for the Junior Red Cross, which will draw 100 selected youths from Southern California and Arizona during the week of July 25-August 1, Dr. Basil H. Peterson, O.G.C.E. Division 4, All Nations, headed by Al Marcoux; Division 5, Disneyland, a production dedicated to the wonderland which is planned for Anaheim with Burr Williams as manshal. The entire festival program will include the Miss Hallowe'en bar and contest under the co-sponsorship of the Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Senior Chambers. Chairman of the event will be Wayne Andrade while Mrs Sam Gendel will be official hostess for the program. The ball will be held in the Elks Club. Other events will include the famous all kiddies day including the kiddies parade Oct. 29 under the direction of Paul Cook, elementary schools superintendent. The children's window art contest will be held the same day. A full day of entertainment climaxed by the Halloween parade, will be held Oct. 30. First event will be the costume break fast in City Park at 7 a.m., headed by Chairman Lee Fellows. A downtown street jamboree staged by the Anaheim Exchange Club, assisted by the Anaheim Optimist Club, will take place in the 100 block on W. Center St at 10:45 a.m. The 31st Hallowe'en pageant parade, headed by co-chairmen Oscar Schultz and Harold Smith will get underway at 7:15 p.m. on the downtown streets and end in La Palma Park where 5,000 seats will be available to the public to view a stadium show and later see the entire parade in review. Each year's parade and festival represent a unified civic project jointly shared by business men and city residents alike. All activities are co-ordinated through the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. Volunteer workers in all phases of the program are sought by chamber officials and are being enrolled at the chafber office, 136 N. Los Angeles street. 'L Day' is Aug. 1 Of Local Lodge Aug. 1 is "L Day" in Anaheim and Adolph Tuma, city license collector, reminds that licenses ranging from business permits to dog tags are due on that date. If license fees are not paid by Aug. 1, penalties ranging from 100 per cent on dog licenses and 10 I'm going out during the night to see if the thing is blooming. That would be the final, crushing disillusionment. Not the least of our aggregation of botanical delights is a ground-hugging, trailing vine which likes to reach out and grab the Mrs. around the ankle when she hangs up the wash. When pulled up by the roots and tossed out back on the trash pile, it lies there for a few days and then, at night, seems to crawl back to its original hole, seemingly none the worse for wear. I told a professional nurseryman about this and asked him his advice. He turned out to be a churl. He said: "In my considered opinion, and in view of this hot weather, I would lay off that stuff and stay strictly on lemonade." But ALL has not failed. One botanical project is thriving: an informal arrangement of jimson weed rampant against a backdrop of scraggly bamboo interlaced with a skylarking mass of wild cucumber vine. The dogs, as you might guess, leave this hideous monstrosity severely alone. It has stubbornly resisted all efforts to rout it. We have poured gasoline on it and put it to the torch; we have soaked it with weed killer, we have withheld water from it for months, we have hacked at it with machetes, beat on it with clubs, reviled it, kicked it and cussed it, even shot at it. Despite this abuse it proliferates in tropical profusion, while the roses, daisies, and other treasured plants droop under the combined onslaught of dogs, mites, snails, slugs, and thrips. But at long last I have evolved a solution which once and for all will relieve the frustrated gardener of these ills and heart aches. The preparation and application are simple. First, take five ounces of strychnine... 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT IS GOOD ANAHEIM GAZETTE ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1970 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY JUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1954 Legends and Fantasies' Hallowe'en Festival Theme Theme of Anaheim's 31st Hallowe'en Festival together themes of the nationally famous pageant-parade were announced this week by co-chairmen Clyde Cromer and Rob Burgeaft.

Planners Delay On Shopping March of Dimes Group May Hold Emergency Drive In an effort to pull Orange County out of debt to the national fund, an emergency March of Dimes drive will be staged in the county next month. The county has been borrowing from national headquarters due to a heavy polio load which used up the local reserves. J. A. McKitt trick, Santa Ana, chairman of the county March of Dimes, said funds at national headquarters are all most depleted. He said polio has mounted to 4 cases thus far in 1954, a number which far exceeds the total to date in previous years. He added that extra funds are needed this year for the vaccine trials although the results will not be known until 1955. Plans for the drive are indefinite as yet, but national headquarters has warned the county night competition will start Monday and continue until Aug.6 in the game room at City Park, according to an announcement by the Anaheim Recreation Department.

"Country Girl" will star Cathy Browne and Sherwood Price, producers of Tustin Playbox, and Richard Devon of Hollywood, who will take the role of the actor in the play. They will be supported by Stanley Mann, who's hilarious interpretation of the Reverend in "Petticoat Fever" will long be remembered by all who saw this play. The play "Country Girl," was written by Clifford Odetta. It won the Critics Award, and is considered by many to be his finest play. "Country Girl" will run from August 3 through Aug. 14.

For the drive are indefi-yet, but national head-has warned the county. Any recommendations the Anaheim Planning Commission has on the proposed Broadway Shopping Center will not be voiced until Aug. 9. A public hearing held this week resulted in two hours of pro and con argument over the proposed center. The hearing was held in city hall to obtain the views of proponents and opponents to the shopping center which is slated to contain approximately 700,000 square feet of store space including a 200,000-square-foot, three-story Broadway department store. More than 75 persons attended the session. The planners, who will pass on their recommendations to the city council, expressed the opinion at the close of the hearing that more time would be required to study the proposed shopping area and what effect it will have on Anaheim's economy and integration. Speaking against the center was Dick Heffren of 626 N. West St. He asserted the project will divide Anaheim into a "new and old" section, resulting in a 30 per cent drop in property values in the "old" section. Large New Development Set by Firm One of the largest land purchases for subdivisions in the Anaheim area was made known this week when the Wagner Construction Co., of Beverly Hills announced the acquisition of 235 acres in West Anaheim. The section is presently under annexation proceedings and is located in the 830-acre area west of Anaheim known as the Orange Avenue Annexation. Dwellings are scheduled to be constructed on an 80-acre tract fronting on Brookhurst Ave., between Broadway and Lincoln Ave., as quickly as engineering work can be completed. A second tract of 155 acres to be developed within the near future, will include the Fay estate at the northwest corner of Ball Rd., and Euclid Ave. When completed, the 235-acre subdivision will contain more than 1300 homes. Representatives of the Wagner Company stated they plan to purchase additional property within the Orange Annexation area for immediate development. The Annexation area is bounded by Lincoln Ave., Ball Rd., Loara and Brookhurst Avenues. New Speed Limits On Lincoln Ave. Establishment of speed limits March of Dimes, said funds personal headquarters are allpleted.

WOOD AUXILIARY TONIGHT Chairmen and committors of Marywood Auxiliary at this evening, July 22 some of Mrs. Ernest Wil7 N. Los Angeles street, the fall program and a council, expressed the opinion at the close of the hearing that more time would be required to study the proposed shopping area and what effect it will have on Anaheim's economy and integration. Speaking against the center was Dick Heffren of 626 N. West St. He asserted the project will divide Anaheim into a "new and old" section, resulting in a 30 per cent drop in property values in the "old" section. Heffren said the people owe something to the established merchants in Anaheim who have invested their money in the city. He suggested that the city buy property north and south of Center street for parking areas so a development such as the Broadway center can be located in the center of town. Heffren was supported in his view by Victor Loly of 510 N. Clementine St. Another expressing concern over the proposed center was Stan Whieldon, developer of many houmes in the Westmont area. Most of the other protests from citizens concerned the prospect of odors and rubbish piles around the proposed super market area; a means of transporting the Loarra school children safely across Loarra and West streets; and the possibility of closing Benton Way at Loarra street to cut off traffic through the residential area directly to the east of the proposed center. The center is scheduled to be built in the area between Crescent, Euclid, Loarra Aves., and Manchester Blvd. George Mott, a partner in the Los Angeles real estate firm that is acting as agent for the Broadway Stores, emphasized the Broadway firm will build a first-class shopping district, free of unsightly refuse, incinerator smoke an unnecessary noises. He said it is Broadway's hope to retain the exclusiveness of the Westmont area since from that section will come the center's best business. Describing the center, Mott said plans call for from 30 to 40 stores, parking for 5000 cars and a plan to service all shops in the center by means of a tunnell. The shops will extend in a line from northwest to southeast with the Broadway store on the south end and another department store on the north. Between these two larger stores, two rows of smaller shops will be placed. The supermarket, backing on chase additional property within the Orange Annexation area for immediate development. The Annexation area is bounded by Lincoln Ave., Ball Rd., Loars and Brookhurst Avenue. New Speed Limits On Lincoln Ave. Establishment of speed limits of 35 and 45 miles an hour on Lincoln Avenue (State Sign Route 18-U. S. 91) for approximately seven miles easterly from near the Los Anbeses County line to within the city limits of Anaheim, Orange County, was announced today by the State Department of Public Works. The new speed zones begin at Denni Road and extend to Manchester Avenue in Anaheim, where there is a connecting 35-mile zone. Over most of this section of Lincoln Avenue the speed limit was 55 miles an hour. Three short previously signed zones were incorporated into the more comprehensive zoning. State Highway Engineer G. T. McCoy recommended the new speed limits following an engineering and traffic study by the Division of Highways. The California Highway Patrol and Anaheim city authorities concurred in the recommendation. The speed limits will become effective with the posting of signs, probably within a week. Trailer Parks to Have New Rules Paul Scharrenberg, Director of Industrial Relations, today announced the scheduling of public hearings on the adoption of rules and regulations by the Division of Housing for cabanas and other structures in trailer parks. The State Legislature at the 1954 Special Session directed the Division to draft and enforce these regulations. The first public hearing, which will be attended primarily by trailer coach manufacturers, and city, county and State officials, will be held in the Assembly Reom of the State Building at Los Angeles on August 4. Another public hearing will be held in the Auditorium of the Santa Clara County Office Building on August 12. Following the hearings, the rules will be submitted to the Building Board. Describing the center, Mott said plans call for from 30 to 40 stores, parking for 5000 cars and a plan to service all shops in the center by means of a tunnell. The shops will extend in a line from northwest to southeast with the Broadway store on the south end and another department store on the north. Between these two larger stores, two rows of smaller shops will be placed. The supermarket, backing on Loara, will not be serviced by the underground method but by a screened loading area behind the store. The market will contain 40,000 square feet. Mott said the center is being designed for all types of businesses with the hope of drawing established merchants for tenants. Ministerial Group to Visit Mexico City Twenty-three United States ministers have been invited by Bishop Eleazar Guerre, of Mexico, to conduct a lecture-teaching campaign in Mexico City, July 23 to Aug. 1, including in the group Rev. Wm. McKinley Walker, pastor of Wesley Methodist church, Anaheim. According to Rev. Walker, the ministers will go by auto caravan. The group will meet with Bishop Guerre Friday of this week for instructions. Twelve of the group are from the Southern California-Arizona Conference of the Methodist church. The goodwill mission tour will bear friendly greetings to our southern neighbors with the ministers speaking several times daily, in some instances through interpreters. Hotel accommodations have been provided at Hotel Geneve, 130 Londres Street, Mexico City; from which base the ministers will go to their various assignments. Following the hearings, the rules will be submitted to the Building Standards Commission for approval and will become effective 30 days after filing with the Secretary of State. Recent surveys have disclosed that about a quarter of a million people live in one hundred thousand trailer coaches in California. The surveys indicate that about ninety per cent of these people live in trailer coaches permanently and that about eighty per cent of the trailer coaches are immobile, remaining in trailer parks without movement on the highways. Within the last decade trailer living in California has increased and changed tremendously. Ten years ago there were about 250 trailer parks in the State; now there are 4,500. Ten years ago only ten percent of trailer coach owners used them for permanent living. Methodist Youth Attend Camp Colby Sixteen Junior High MYFers of White Temple Methodist church enjoyed their annual "Christian Adventure Camp" at Camp Colby last week, accompanied by Dave Deshler, minister of youth, and Mrs. Leavitt Ford, as counsellors.
