OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. AS YOU may have learned by scanning this column last week, we have just returned from a leisurely trip up and down California’s Route 49, which winds through the Mother Lode country. A fabulous area in a fabulous state. Discovery of gold sparked California’s metamorphosis from a wilderness to one of the mightiest of states. Distraught, shifty, uncertain citizens by the thousands still pour into it monthly seeking their spot to stake a claim. They are not looking for gold in the actual, metallic sense, but still they are impelled by the same hope of achievement and material gain which motivated the Fortyniners who converged on the Mother-Lode area from all parts of the United States and from most of the countries of the world. You can roam through ancient cemeteries in those old ghost towns and see legends on crumbling head-stones like this: “Cagliomni, John, Native of Italy, Born 1815. Died 1879.” Or: Stevens, Charles, Native of South Africa, 1829-1860” and fall to thinking: what good did it avail them to rush to a strange land and try to amass great wealth? Are they driving Cadillacs now? Historical romanticists would have us believe that the big Gold Rush was a great period of pioneer achievement and cultural development: a young nation expanding and feeling its muscles. Because I am stubborn, I take a different view. From all I can read about the great Gold Rush, it was a sorry and pitiful distillation of all the greed, lust, duplicity and avariciousness that Reid-Everett Nuptial Rites in St. Michael’s Mr. and Mrs. George Everett are honeymooning at Idyllwild following their marriage on Sunday in St. Michael’s Episcopal church, Anaheim, Aug. 29. The bride is the former Caroline Reid, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Norton of 10041 S. Nutwood Ave. Her husband is the son of the Raleigh Everettes of Pomona. For the wedding, the bride wore a Cahill gown of blush pink satin fashioned in princess style. She carried a nosegay of pink rosebuds. In contrast, matron of honor, Mrs. Earl Bennet wore a blue orandy gown. Her flowers were also pink rosebuds. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Bob, no best man. Ushers were Gordon Weber and Douglas Hitchen. A reception followed the wedding ceremony and was held at the Anaheim home of the bride’s uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Conant. The newlywed both attended the University of California where the bride was affiliated with Kappa Alpha Theta. Her husband was a member of the varsity football team. They will leave for France in November where the bridegroom will carry on his duties with the U.S. Airforce. California Alloted $111,000 for Airport Construction California has been allocated $911,366 of the recent $22,000 appropriation for reviving the Federal airport construction program, the Los Angeles office Senator Thomas H. Kuchel announced today. The fund, which Kuchel urged the Senate to approve when the 1954 supplemental appropriation bill was under consideration, available to match local expenditures on airports which are classified as essential to transportation from a broad national viewpoint the civil Aeronautics Administration informed the California Senator. As a State with a large area in public lands, California qualified for the next to the largest apportionment, 6.07 per cent of the $15,000,000 available for distribution among all States on an area population basis. Applications for communities desiring to make improvements are received in Washington through CAA Regional Office Proposals submitted in response instructions issued through CA District Airport Engineers earlier this month now being studied in Washington. The yardstick used in determining eligibility for Federal grants includes a minimum of 3,000 parish engers a year boarding airline... Are they driving Cadillacs now? Historical romanticists would have us believe that the big Gold Rush was a great period of pioneer achievement and cultural development: a young nation expanding and feeling its muscles. Because I am stubborn, I take a different view. From all I can read about the great Gold Rush, it was a sorry and pitiful distillation of all the greed, lust, duplicity and avariciousness that welled in the heart of mankind at the time. There was nothing romantic about it. Just a mob of people scrabbling for material gain. And not one of them took a speck of the stuff with them. And where did the gold finally wind up after it had made a few people rich, put a few people to work, caused a few wars and wreaked its deviltry in countless other ways? At Fort Knox. It was dug out of a hole in the ground, and finally came to rest in another hole in the ground. Doesn't make sense. IT IS WITH great interest that I observe the current battle involving two of this country's most powerfully entrenched pressure groups: the American Legion and the American Medical Association. The Legion, fresh from a heroic attack on that vicious, subversive group called the Girl Scouts (which the Legion Department of Illinois said was publishing a Communistic handbook) now is at loggerheads with the A.M.A. over tax-supported care for incapacitated veterans with ailments not arising from military service. In this squabble I will reluctantly side in with the A.M.A. Veterans of our country's wars are entitled to all possible attention and care for disabilities directly resulting from military service. This is only fair. I am a veteran. I would feel no compunction at demanding a hospital bed "free" for some disability resulting from military service. But if I went out, got drunk and broke a leg there would be no moral justification in asking my neighbors to foot the bill. The American Legion, it seems, is directed by men afflicted with immature thinking abilities who would foist their irresponsible programs off onto a gullible public, the whole package wrapped in the University of California where the bride was affiliated with Kappa Alpha Theta. Her husband was a member of the varsity football team. They will leave for France in November where the bridegroom will carry on his duties with the U.S. Airforce. Council Slates Hearings on Zone Proposals Proposed reclassification of two parcels of land from residential-agricultural to neighborhood commercial will be aired at public hearings which the Anaheim City Council has set for Sept. 28. Ora B. Miller requested the change in classification for 10 acres at the northeast corner of Brookhurst Ave., and Ball Rd. And a similar request for the northeast corner of Euclid Ave., and Ball Rd., was initiated by the City Planning Commission. The Commission has granted both requests. Held for further study and sensible public hearing by the City Council was a variance granted by the Planning Commission by a 4-2 vote after stormy public hearings at the request of F. E. Warnes to erect a gasoline station at the northwest corner of E. Center and N. East street. Councilmen remarked that a similar request by Standard Oil Co., to construct a station at the same place was turned down. Three other variance requests received council approval. They included: 1. Permission for Earl A. Ramella to construct a two-bedroom residence on the front portion of a lot at 519 S. Lemon street. 2. Arthur Hartelt's request to cut three lots from property located on the west side of Gilbert St., north of Lincoln avenue. 3. Linda T. Knox's request to cut off a lot from property described at 303-311 N. Placentia avenue. Action on a variance request by C. Louise' Truxaw to erect an Assistance League clubhouse at the northeast corner of W. Vermont and S. Lemon streets was held over for a week while the effect of such a project on surrounding property values is studied. History Repeats! Some little comment has been going the rounda over the recent "rainfall" experienced in various parts of the general community August rain being regarded as more or less unusual occurrence in these parts, but according to the following article taken from the files of "Days of Long Ago we find under the heading of 17 Years ago, the following— "The unusual spectacle of a ruined rainstorm in August was far forced on Monday of last week when a quarter of an inch fell during the morning hours. The storm was the remnant of heavy rains which have deluged Arizona the past few weeks. The Territory has had but little rain up to the present storm, the precipitation for all of last winter being half an inch. Rains have been so heavy for some weeks past, that many washouts have occurred and property destroyed by flood. Our timers declare that rain in August indicate a wet winter. To this no one will object. Thirty inches of rain this winter will be right." Births Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Titenson 210 N. Vine street announce with pride the birth, of a 9 lb 10 oz daughter in Santa Ana Community hospital on Aug. 23. The new little Miss at the William Duarte home at 78'2 Santa Barbara Street tipped the scale at St. Joseph hospital at 10 lb 2½ oz upon her arrival there on August 23. Anaheim Chest Workers Seek to Top Last Year’s Drive by 20% If Anaheim Community Chest workers stick to the schedule they set for themselves Tuesday, they will wind up their campaign by Sept. 24. And they hope to gather 20 per cent more than last year. All division heads except the residential drive chairman were introduced in the organizational meeting conducted by Judge John Shea and Wayne Butterbaugh, drive chairmen, in the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce board room. Plans were made for a kick-off breakfast the morning of the drive’s first day, Sept. 14. Three report meetings will be held Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the second week. A one-night canvass of the residential areas of Anaheim, Cypress, Stanton, Los Alamitos and Centralia will conclude the drive. “Though our goal is $38,900, higher than last year’s by 20 per cent, we have 33 per cent more people to serve this year,” the leaders told the men when handling them their quotas. Robert Daily and Adolf Schoepe will head the industrial division with a quota of $10,000. Paul Cook and Donald Derr will solicit civic and governmental employees for $3,000. Herbert Perry and Ra Link will conduct the downtown business campaign for $6,000 and Carl Karcher will handle suburban business under the same quota. Odra Chandler will be in charge of solicitation among those listed under the professional division including all members of the medical profession, attorneys and accountants. His quota is $1,500. Frank Noe of Cypress has been given the task of running a phases of the campaign in outlying communities within the Anaheim chest jurisdiction, including Cypress, Stanton and Los Alamitos. His quota is $2,500. The residential chairman will be appointed this week, will be given a quota of $6,650. Martin Morocco and William Ross will solicit school children in the AUH district for donations amounting to $650. Advance gifts division, under the leadership of Mayor Charles Pearson and O. E. Hanson is seeking $8,500 from donors of $50 or more. OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM HEM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.

The Supervisors think that instead of building by direct tax the present taxpayers should let the incoming population help pay this building cost in future years, under a bond program. Orange county at this time has no outstanding bond debt. The flood control district has something less than $500,000 in outstanding bonds. The following is how the Supervisors regard the proposed building bond proposition: Proposals For Bond Issues Hospital During World War II the demands on the County Hospital began to overtak the facilities available. The Board of Supervisors on a pay as you go plan up to the present have increased the facilities by 118 beds with a total of 594 beds. Also, several other features have been improved such as a Central Heating Plant and a new Electrical Distribution System. Visitors laid aside in an Accumulative Capital Outlay Fund, surplus monies raised each year and have let contracts from this Fund for a new Health Building to cost $1,030,000, and a new Welfare Building to cost $850,000. A careful traffic pattern study has been made as to contacts between offices and the public with various county offices. Also, careful study of the development of each department the rapidity of growth and the probable needs for at least the next 25 years. On this basis a preliminary plan for a new Courthouse has been developed with 487,000 square feet at an estimated cost of $11,000,000. At the present time several departments are being handled in rented quarters at a considerable cost and inconvenience to the public and the service. If facilities are not provided quickly it will be necessary to spread out to a much greater extent and a greater degree of inconvenience and expense. This cost includes estimated construction costs, architect fees and necessary landscaping to provide parking area, walks etc. Timetable To prepare detailed plans for contract, 1½ to 2 years; Anaheim Council P-TA Convenes At City Park Mrs. Carl Hatfield presided at last Friday's (Aug. 27) executive board meeting of the Anaheim Council of Parents and Teachers Members convened at 9:30 in the City Park to hear Paul Cook, superintendent of Anaheim Elementary schools, explain the insurance situation for school pupils. Because of increased enrollment and a decreased budget, the school system will not shoulder the insurANCE load this year, and if the individual student is to be insured it must be done by his parents. The Council agreed to place the plan before each association so that parents can receive full information. Plans were made for the important district meeting on Sept. 23 at the City Park when the Anaheim Council will be host. No speaker will be engaged so executive members and chairmen can devote the time to workshops and conferences. The meeting will start at 9:30 and a potluck lunch. Population basis.

Rains have been very for some weeks Past, During World War II he commands on the County Hospital begin to overtake facilities available. The Board of Supervisors on a pay as you go plan up to 118 beds with a total of 594 beds. Also, several other features have improved such as a Central Heating Plant and a new Electrical Distribution System. Since 1950 the growth of the County has been so phenomenal that the facilities are again over taxed. The demand is so great at present the Board of Supervisors feels it is unfair to make the present day taxpayer all the bill and that the Hospital should be improved to provide for facilities for some time to come and paid by bonds up to 25 year maturity. The items needed are as follows: A new main hospital building with a new modern surgery, multistory, to require a minimum of traveling distance to service. The proposed building will have 144,000 square feet at an estimated cost of $3,900,000 providing 360 beds. A new psychiatric unit is badly needed. A modern type structure of 42,430 sq ft. for this services has been designed to cost $1,200,000 and will provide 75 beds. Orange County Hospital is the only hospital in Orange County providing a nurses school at this time. The present facilities are very inadequate and need for additional training facilities is very acute. It is proposed to construct a new Nurses School and Home at a cost of $900,000 to provide for a maximum enrollment of 96. The main building will provide in addition to the 360 beds, a new surgery, a new dietary department and employees' cafeteria, as well as ample space for social service, medical records, and business offices and clinical departments. The psychiatric unit will have in addition to the 75 beds, a physical therapy unit and adequate Court Room. The Nurses School and Home will also provide adequate classrooms with an auditorium, library and recreation rooms and sick bay for students. This makes a total bond requirement for the County Hospital of Six Million dollars which includes construction, architect fees, with necessary landscaping costs. To prepare detailed plans for contract, 1½ to 2 years. To construct ,2 to 2½ years. Bonds to be sold over at least a 4-year period. Total Bonds $6,000,000 plus $11,000,000 equals $17,000,000. If the money were raised by direct tax to meet the same program in six years it would take a tax rate of at least 40 cents per year for six years. If provided by issue of bonds,the maximum tax rate should be considerable less than one half the direct tax rate. Flood Control Proposal The Flood and Storm Water Control Problem has become acute due to the rapid development of the County in the last five years.Water conservation along with it wherever possible is also highly desirable and necessary. To get a clear idea of what was needed bythe Board of Supervisors employedthe engineering firm of Harrison & Woolley to make a comprehensive study ofthe County.Their report has been filed withthe Boardand acceptedasaplanwithwhichto proceed.

Main Hospital, to complete plans, 16 to 18 months, to construct, 18 to 24 mos. Bonds would be sold as needed over a three-year period. Main Courthouse and Office Building Some ten years ago it became apparent to the Board of Supervisors that in a few years, more building facilities would be necessary for the County Offices. In the mid 1940's studies were begun by a joint committee representing the City of Santa Ana and the County of Orange to try and define a Civic Center Area in Santa Ana. After several years of work the present site of county buildings together with the area between Broadway and Ross street, and between Sixth street and Eighth street was designated as a Civic Center. Since then the Board of Supervisors has provided funds to acquire this area, and up to the present has acquired all but about 8 or 9 parcels from regular tax revenues. Further, the Board of Supervisors has added the cost of maintenance increases, and sooner or later the point of diminishing returns is reached. For this reason a bond issue is urgently needed. The Board of Supervisors had planned to place this program on the November 2, 1954 ballot. The following legal technicalities make that impossible. First, the Flood Control District Act provides that where bonds are outstanding and unexpended from a previous issue that new bonds cannot be issued. There is still unexpended approximately $300,000 of the 1938 bond issue, which money was voted for right-of-way for joint projects with the Federal Government. These projects were never carried out and there is no certainty as to when they will be. To correct this, an amendment to the Flood Control Act at the next session of the legislature is necessary. We hope to get this on a call for a special session and thus make it possible for an election in the Spring of 1955. Second, the Board considered placing the proposal on the November 2 ballot as a County proposition. This hit some legal snags, most serious of which is the bond limitation which applies to the County. The bond attorneys also would require a court action to validate the proceedings. Under the bond limitation act thirty million dollars is the maximum bond issue the county can vote. There is no limitation on the Flood Control District. The program is urgent and all possible haste must be made in carrying it out. Bonds should be on a 40-year basis. If a maximum interest of 3 per cent were required, the highest tax rate should not exceed 30 cents. This will be the 22nd annual Y-Day In Hollywood, a program which was started strictly as an event for Hollywood youngsters and now every year is put on for more than 10,000 young people from about 60 YMCA's in California, Arizona and Nevada. Sponsor is the Hollywood YMCA, with the Hollywood Advising Club producing the variety show. General chairman this year is Sanford Hewitt, Hollywood business man. It is without a doubt the biggest single YMCA event in the world, and the Hollywood "Y" has promised "another top variety show with many movie, radio and television stars." In addition, Anaheim youngsters will be able to enter an amateur talent show or an essay contest. Bertch said further information on these events is scheduled to arrive at an early date. "We have many plans to make including how to transport the boys and girls to Hollywood. It is a very popular event with all YMCA youngsters," the general secretary added. Junior Ebell Starts Fall Meetings Tues. The first meeting of the Anaheim Junior Ebell club's fall season will be held on Tuesday evening, Sept. 7 at 7:45 at the clubhouse. The program will feature a drama-dance team, Clyde and Joyce Zulch. He has an impressive list of concert piano credits and has been associated with Rudy Vallee for two years. The feminine half of the team has made many radio and television appearances in comedy and drama. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago The arrest of Lucky Baldwin of Santa Anita for a violation of the revenue laws, is not a surprise to those who have closely watched the turn affairs have taken recently. Mr. Baldwin has just erected a large, fine distillery and made extensive arrangements to manufacture a great quantity of brandy this season. Yesterday the distillery and wine vaults at the Santa Anita ranch were seized and Mr. Baldwin was placed under arrest on the charge of illicit distillation of brandy. He was taken to Los Angeles by Marshal Dunlap and will have a preliminary hearing today before Commissioner Whiting. Marshal Payne has had such difficulty in collecting license from the Chinese storekeepers that yesterday he was compelled to resort to extreme measures. Sin Tin Wo was arrested for violation of the license ordinance and Justice Bailey fined him $10, which he paid. The store of Yuen Cheng Co., was attached and a keeper placed in charge of it. In the current local campaign of candidites, Pacheco is the handsomest, Col. Ayers the most dramatic, Wallace Leach the most insouciant and chipper, West, the most angular sing-songy. Del Valle the most Knightly, Judge Sepulveda the most winning, Gen. Howard the most classical, Judge Stephens the most adventurous and persevering, and Judge Q'Melveny the most hopeless. The San Francisco Chronicle notes specimens of cornstalks 15 feet high from a San Benito ranch of J. D. Culp & Co. Los Angeles county has produced corn much larger than that and we refer the subject to the editor of the Anaheim Gazette for definite figures.—St. Helena Star. (Cornstalks fifteen feet high are not uncommon in this county. The Gazette office was festooned last year with a number of stalks eighteen feet high.—Ed.) While Mr. Rust was delivering meat to one of his customers on Monday morning, his horse, which he had left in charges of his son, became frightened and ran away. The wagon collided with the Backs Building on North First street and was badly wrecked as was also the harness. The boy was thrown out but not much injured. O. W. Childs, John D. Downey and I. W. Helman have given a large tract of land near Los Angeles, for the purpose of endowment to the trustees of an educational institution to be established and known as the University of Southern California. The Great Register, which was completed yesterday evening and the final sheets placed in the hands of the printer will contain 7780 names, to which will be added a supplement of about 175 names, making a grand total of 7,965 registered voters for Los Angeles county. In the current local campaign of candidates, Pacheco is the handsomest, Col. Ayers the most dramatic, Wallace Leach the most insouciant and chipper, West, the most angular sing-songy. Del Valle the most Knightly, Judge Sepulveda the most winning, Gen. Howard the most classical, Judge Stephens the most adventurous and persevering, and Judge O'Melveny the most hopeless. Messrs. Arthur Lewis and Jesse Parker will leave for Bodie next week.

City Councilmen Move to Place $3,500,000 Bond City Councilmen Move to Place $3,500,000 Bond Issue Plan Before Voters The Anaheim City Council this week took the first steps to place before the voters on Oct. 14, three bond issues amounting to $3,500,-000. The self-liquidating capital improvement bond issues would be split up in the following proportions: For waterworks, $1,400,000; for sewage disposal, $900,000 and for street improvements, $1,200,000. Passage of the waterworks issue would permit the city to rehabilitate old water lines, build new lines and to acquire additional wells and pumps. It would also provide for the building of additional storage facilities. The city would like to get two new reservoirs of 3,000,000,000 gallon capacity each to add to the one of that size now in use, according to Keith Murdoch, city administrator. The sewer bond issue would permit the running of lines from the Euclid line to the Magnolia Trunk line, thus relieving the load on the Euclid system, as well as adding other new lines in the city, Murdoch explained. Money from the proposed street improvement issue would be used for replacing streets within the city, adding new streets, improving lighting and other like items. Mayor Charles Pearson told the council that the use of self-liquidating bonds such as are proposed is the only way the city can finance immediate capital investment without a one-cent sales tax or substantially increasing the city tax rate. Actually, the bonds, if voted, will simply be a continuation of a program already underway in the city, Murdoch said. About three years ago, a $1,000,-000 self-liquidating program was instituted for water and power. Passage of the bond issue will also provide means by which a second fire station may be built and equipped on a site recently purchased by the city at Brookhurst Ave. and Crescent Street. The issue could also make funds available for possiblue re-routing of W. Center Street into the area now being re-classified to contain the Broadway-Hale department store and shopping center. In conjunction with the proposal of the bond issues, the firm of O'Melvey and Myers was hired by the city to handle the proceedings.
