OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. If I were President of the United States, I would: 1. Make it a misdemeanor for anyone to sav: "Warm enough for you today?" 2. Cause an immediate investigation of all plumbers. 3. Make it punishable by exile to Siberia, Texas, or some other hideous place for a citizen to go around bragging about the particular kind of automobile he happens to own. 4. Limit all radio and television commercials to 5 seconds. 5. Cause to be started an immediate investigation, with the view of complete eradication, of Bermuda grass. 6. Send a battleship to Bermuda as a retaliatory measure for grass as specified in 5 above. 7. Reinstate the outmoded custom of hanging by the neck until dead and apply it to the motorist who drives three feet from your rear bumper in heavy traffic. 8. Cause to be printed and sent to all Russian citizens copies of the Sears-Roebuck catalog, just so they can get an inkling of what they are missing. 9. Just for a change, force all banks to pay 6% interest to investors, and limit them to 2% interest on all loans. 10. Demand an immediate investigation of all radio cowboy singers, mentally reserving a home on the range in Siberia for them. 11. Call out the militia and chase to the border all dentists who advertise on the radio. Local Recreation Program Attracts More Than 38 Forty-three men and women members of the Anaheim Recreation Department this summer are directing a program in which more than 3,800 children and adults are taking part. Sixteen of the directors are full-time employees and the 27 other persons are assisting on a part-time basis in operating the diversified program.

Stop, for once and for all, the practice of letting foreign heads of state address joint sessions of Congress to air their gripes and griefs and stand with hat in hand to beg for money, money, more money, and perhaps even a few thousand vats of good American blood.

Tustin Playbox in Gala Season The Tustin Playbox is in the middle of its most successful season since it was formed three years ago. The interest and support of the Playbox by the summer theater audiences has been so great this year that the producers, Cathy Browne and Sherwood Price, have under consideration a winter season of twelve weeks of plays for this fall and winter. They would be interested in knowing the reaction of Orange County theater audiences to such a winter season, and would appreciate it if all who are in favor of this proposed additional season would drop them a postcard at Tustin. The Country Girl, which is now in rehearsal, will open Aug. 3 for a two-week run. It is the only straight drama offering of the season, and stars Cathy Browne, Sherwood Price, and Richard Devon.

As an example, research hospitals. Then I would sit back and prepare defenses against the onslaught of the American Medical Association and other power groups who would inflame the public with hollow cries of "creeping socialism." 23. While on this task, I would amend certain statements made recently labelling the Tennessee Valley Authority as "creeping socialism." I would tell the people about the millions of dollars saved annually in prevented flood damage, and point out to them the thousands of rural homes which benefit by way of electrification. I would also go on to bring up the point that private enterprise would never in a thousand years risk the capital to construct such a mighty machine. And I would think back to a predecessor, named Herbert Hoover, who sparked just such a deal over near Las Vegas. 24. And lastly, at the close of a work day, I would look wearily around my office, idly lingering a golf stick, and mutter to myself: "Is it worth it?"

Details Revealed By Army on Nike Details on the new Army guided missile, Nike, for which an installation is being prepared on milesquare Horse Ranch Airport at Western and Chapman Aves., were released this week. The base, which is located a half-mile west of Hwy. 39 on Chapman Ave., has been under construction for the past six months. During World War II it was used as a practice landing field and then abandoned. About eight months ago it was re-activated as an anti-aircraft site. Lt. Gen. W. G. Wyman, commanding general, Sixth Army Presido of San Franci scoa said the site will be a vital link in a chain of anti-aircraft sites from which the Army will launch the Nike, its latest guided missile. He said the missile will never be fired except during an attack and the bases will be manned on a 24-hour basis to guard against enemy action. The Nike is the nation's first combat ready surface-to-air guided missile system to be put in the air defense system of the United States. It also is the Army's first supersonic guided missile to demonstrate its ability to knock enemy aircraft out of the sky. It can out-maneuver bombers, fighters or transport planes EXTENDED SERVICE AREA — Map out toll charges after introduction shows calling area available to KEystone-5 tended service by Pacific Telephone and JAckson-7 telephone subscribers with November 1. Mrs. Dene Williams Selected to Replace Griffith as City Clerk Mrs. Dene M. Williams has been named by the Anaheim City Council to succeed Charles Griffith as city clerk effective Aug. 1. Mrs. Williams has been deputy city clerk since 1946. Griffith recentl ywas convicted of willful misconduct in office as the result of the issuance of absentee ballots during the Ball Road No. 2 annexation a year ago. The present term of office expires in 1956. Griffith, for 20 years the Anaheim city clerk, last month was ordered to vacate his post by Aug. 1. During this week's council meeting Griffith said his two decades with the city had been most pleasant and he could leave his office knowing that he had given the city 100 cents' value for every dollar paid him. Mayor Charles Pearson ordered City Attorney Preston Turner to draw up a resolution expressing the council's gratitude to Griffith for his years of service to the city. Indications are that Griffith will continue to work for the city as his appointment to head up several city jobs presently held by other overloaded city officials is expected momentarily. The council has indicated its desire to keep Griffith in the city family so the popular clerk may become eligible for retirement pay. It is also possible that Griffith may run for re-election for the city clerk's job in 1956. CITY PARK IN AUGUST Aug. 2-6: Table croquet tournament, city park, daily.

Next summer, what will surely be the world's most fabulous amusement park, "Disneyland," will be opened to the public. Located on a 160-acre site near Anaheim, in Orange County, construction of this 9 million dollar wonderland is now under way. There will be four major realms in Disneyland: Fantasyland, True-Life Adventureland, Frontierland and Land of Tomorrow. In Fantasyland, visitors will meet the storybook characters of a score of Disney films. Its attractions bear such names as Pleasure Island, Merlin's Magic Shop, the Diamonds Mines of the Seven Dwarfs, the Peter Pan Fly-through, and the Alice-in-Wonderland Ride Through. A 5-acre waterway voyage will take visitors in True-Life Adventureland past ports of call in Mexico, Central and South America, Africa, Asia, Australia and the Florida Everglades. Frontierland is America's past. It is the realm of Davy Crockett, Paul Bunyan, Pecos Bill, Daniel Boone, and Johnny Appleseed. The Land of Tomorrow, on the other hand, will be a pilot plan for life in the world of the future. Disneyland will feature many other attractions, of course. There will be a Recreation Park, a small scale railroad, scaled-down covered wagons, stage coaches and river boats, a walled castle surrounded by a moat, a Holiday Land with seasonal attractions, and many fine shops. Planning such a super-colossal venture has been no small project in itself. Walt Disney and his associates in the undertaking enlisted the aid of Stanford Research Institute specialists, who conducted a ten-month feasibility survey of the entire project, including a search for the most desirable location. In the course of investigating sites, the economic researchers divided the Los Angeles metropolitan area into 10 geographic sections to which standards of comparison could be applied. Land was disqualified which contained intensive improvements, oil fields, poor topographical features, municipal parks, golf courses and airports. Population trends were studied. Accessibility, topography, environmental characteristics, zoning, smog, humidity, tax rates and utility availability were taken into consideration. Some 40 sites were seriously studied. They were narrowed down to four, and finally, the Anaheim site was selected. It is in an unincorporated area, adjoins the Santa Ana Freeway, and is about 15 minutes' driving time from Los Angeles. Disneyland's builders expect that 5 million people annually will come to visit the colorful world of fantasy that all began on a cartoonist's drawing board. ANAHEIM POST OFFICE NEEDS MORE HELP The rapid expansion of Anaheim is continuing to create a need for more clerks and carriers in the local post office, according to Louis H. Hoskins, postmaster. Anyone interested in post office employment is invited to take the civil service examination which is now open. Applications are available at the registry window of the post office. Applicants must be between the ages of 18 and 50, and must actually reside within the Anaheim postal district.

The announcement was made after councilmen canvassed returns of the July 16 special election that proposed the annexation of territory bounded by Ball Rd. Brookhurst, Euclid and Lincoln Avenues. Of the five absentee ballots cast, four were for the proposition and one against. In regular voting 65 ballots were marked 'yes' and 32 'no.' Following canvass of the ballots, councilmen passed the first reading of an ordinance calling the area part of the City of Anaheim. The annexation, the largest in Anaheim's history to undergo advanced annexation proceedings, will become final in about four weeks. Methodist Bishop At Union Service Bishop Gerald H. Kennedy, resident bishop of the Los Angeles area of the Methodist church and presiding over the Southern California-Arizona Annual Conference and the Hawaii Mission, will preach at White Temple Methodist church of Anaheim on Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at a union service sponsored by the Anaheim Historical Marker Slated for Newport Another step in the program of the Associated Chambers of Orange County to mark historic landmarks will be completed Friday morning, July 30, at 10:30 o'clock, with the dedication of a state historical marker on the site of the Old Landing at Newport. The marker is located at the western approach to the bridge spanning the entrance to the upper bay on the coast highway. Taking part in the brief ceremonies will be Willis Warner, chairman of the board of supervisors; Supervisor Heinz Kaiser, in whose district the plaque is located; Col. Sellin Franklin, president of the Associated Chambers of Commerce; A. J. McFadden, whose family pioneered the development of the Old Landing in the 70's; a representative of the Irvine Foundation, who donated the marker, as well as various chamber of commerce and county officials. The history of the Old Landing goes back to Mexican days, when the upper part of Newport Bay was known as Cienega de San Joaquin. It was in 1870 that the first schooner, commanded by Capt. Abbot, is said to have come into the bay loaded with lumber brought from San Diego, where a boom had "busted." The lumber was unloaded at the Ellis place at the upper part of the bay. This was the first of a number of loads of lumber brought in, it later being found more convenient at a point that became known as the "Old Landing." It was in the middle '70's that a regular shipping service was instituted by James McFadden and Robert McFadden, brothers, pioneers of Santa Ana. They bought a steamer which they named the "Newport" and ran it between business shows strong gain Business trends in the southern half of California showed remarkable strength in June, according to the research department of Security-First National Bank. The bank's index of business activity rose to the highest point in almost a year, as revealed in the organization's Monthly Summary of Business Conditions. Each of the ten indicators included in the index participated in May-to-June advance, the Summary said. Compared with a year ago, the June index was down less than one per cent. It is noteworthy that the index for last month was above the 1953 average, and that the figure for the past quarter was only ¼ of one per cent below the average for the record year. Building permits totaled more than in any previous month except March 1953. On a seasonally adjusted basis, June permits recorded the highest peak in the history of this area, the bank researchers reported. The number of family dwelling units included in building permits in Los Angeles County totaled 8,866—28 per cent above June 1953 and the largest monthly total since March last year. The Summary said that contract awards for engineering construction totaled more than in any month since last September. It was the second largest June total on record. Real estate loans aggregating more than $195,000,000 were recorded in Los Angeles County—the largest monthly total on record. The number of loans, however, was down 2 per cent from last June. Bishop Gerald H. Kennedy, resident bishop of the Los Angeles area of the Methodist church and presiding over the Southern California-Arizona Annual Conference and the Hawaii Mission, will preach at White Temple Methodist church of Anaheim on Sunday evening at 7:30 o'clock, at a union service sponsored by the Anaheim Association of Christian churches. Rev. Frank E. Butterworth, host pastor, will preside. This is the first public appearance of Bishop Kennedy in Anaheim since his election to the episcopacy as the youngest bishop in the Methodist denomination. He was elected to this highest post in his church after a distinguished pastorate at Lincoln, Nebraska, and previous pastorates including one at Palo Alto, Calif., as his lifelong preaching emphasis has been to university students. He served as presiding bishop of the Pacific Northwest before coming to the Los Angeles area. He is the author of several best-sellers in the religious field, and holds the degrees of Ph.D., L.L.D., Litt. D., D.D., L.L.D., and S.T.D., his most recent degree having been conferred by the University of Redlands at the annual Conference session there last June. He is in widespread demand all over the United States as a lecturer and at major preaching missions. Under his leadership, the Hawaiian Mission is supervised for the first time by an island-born indigenous leader appointed by Bishop Kennedy at the last session of that westernmost branch of the church. The young bishop's widespread range of interests are indicated by his annual convening of a conference for pastors interested in student work; his origin of a plan for a group of laymen known as "The Bishop's Company," the first professional dramatic group ever to serve directly under the banner of the church, offering the finest in drama to even the smallest churches of this area.

This was the first of a number of loads of lumber brought in, it later being found more convenient at a point that became known as the "Old Landing." It was in the middle '70s that a regular shipping service was instituted by James McFadden and Robert McFadden, brothers, pioneers of Santa Ana. They bought a steamer which they named the "Newport" and ran it between Newport Bay and San Francisco. It was found impossible to use the entrance to the bay with any degree of safety, so that shipments outgoing and incoming were handled with a lifter; a dock and warehouse being established at the "Old Landing," known then as Newport. A lumber yard and a number of houses were built and to this point pioneers of the Santa Ana Valley came with wool, corn and other products. The principal incoming freight was lumber, including fence posts to be used in fencing the new ranches. In the late '80's the McFadden brothers built a wharf on the ocean front of Newport Beach and the landing in the bay was abandoned. In a few years the buildings had all disappeared. More recently, the state highway was built across the very spot where the dock and warehouse stood. The name "Newport" is reported to have been selected by the McFaddens, it having no other significance than the fact that it was a new port as contrasted with Anaheim Landing, which was established about 1880 and used by the pioneer residents. Mr. and Mrs. Alan Talt (Mariaorie Schutte) of Berkeley became the parents of their first son, Bradley Alan, on July 22 according to word-received here by the baby's maternal grandfather, A. J. Schutta, Anaheim City Councilman. The infant weighed 9 Ibs. 2 oz. Real estate loans aggregating more than $195,000,000 were recorded in Los Angeles County—the largest monthly total on record. The number of loans, however, was down 2 per cent from last June.

Bond Election Slated in Alamitos School District Alamitos School District trustees have set a special election for Aug. 10 when voters will make known their wishes on acceptance or rejection of a $950,000 state school construction loan along with a $115,000 local bond issue. Trustees say the bond issue is needed for construction of three new schools to aid in keeping pace with the rapid growth of the area through new subdivisions. The $115,000 bond issue must pass to bring the district up to its legal bonded indebtedness which is required before state construction money is available. If the loan is obtained, it will not change the district tax rate which, like all districts in the immediate area, is up to the legal limit. Polls in the Marie L. Hare School, Magnolia and Chapman Aves., will be open from 7 a.m., until 7 p.m. Election judges will be Mrs. Beatrice M. Peacock and Mrs. Gladys Fortney and Mrs. Sylvia A. Moody has been appointed poll inspector.
