OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.B.D. Living in a home singularly blessed with the absence of a television set (I bashed it in with a 6-pound maul after a hawker of cigarettes had been flashed onto the screen to tell me I was a nincompoop for smoking the brand I was smoking) we went down to the cinema last week to see a double-bill. Featured were "The Caine Mutiny," "Man With A Million," an audience participation in a collection of money for Koresa, a horrible example of air conditioning, an interminable assortment of obnoxious advertisements on the screen, and an "intermission" (a device to suspend activities down front while the candy bar in the lobby huksters candy at jacked prices. I hadn't been to a movie for a long time. However, I am here right now to state that if this is the customary bill of fare in theatres these days, I am arranging an immediate conference with Bill Ballman with the thought in mind of gathering in another TV set. To begin with, the admission was $1.00 for adults. As a sop, the management advertised by placard at the box office that children under 12 were admitted free. This is a beautiful gesture of generosity, especially when they know that kids under that age will easily HALLOWE'EN KING AND QUEEN, elected by employees of Kwikset Lookin, Inc., are Katherine Robbins and David To begin with, the admission was $1.00 for adults. As a sop, the management advertised by placard at the box office that children under 12 were admitted free. This is a beautiful gesture of generosity, especially when they know that kids under that age will easily chomp up from 50 cents to a dollar's worth of popcorn, candy, and such necessities at any one-night stand. Given that the admission price was outrageously high, we might still have considered it not too flagrant a gouge considering the calibre of the two shows, which were excellent. But let's discuss the air conditioning. Either the man in charge of the unit was asleep, the manager chary with his kilowatts, or someone had dumped a mixture of dry sulphur, corn starch and damp-wort into the ducts feeding air to the sweltering audience. The atmosphere in the theatre was hot and muggy. It clung to the skin. It weighed on you. People squirmed in their seats. Babies moaned, and I heard at least one hoarse adult voice back in the loges croaking: "Water! Water!" The happiest man in the house was Humphrey Bogart, and he was on the screen being adjudged nuttier than a fruit cake by a hard board of naval inquiry. In addition to all this, the party sitting behind me evidently had an old automobile jack which he apparently had brought along just for "kicks." About every five minutes he would do something to raise my seat about five inches and impel it forward at an oblique angle which forced me to look into the face of a mewling child of about three who was slung over the left shoulder of her mother in the seat directly ahead. When this happened, the child would yell like a whip-sawed panther, adding to the general merriment of all of us around. There was also a portly lady sitting to our right who had to get out to the aisle several times during the course of the evening, always carrying with her what I took to be a water softener, not HALLOWE'EN KING AND QUEEN, elected by employees of Kwikset Locks, Inc., are Katherine Robles and Fred Knight (top). Elected prince and princess were Bob Hutchison and Marjorie Boyd (lower photos). Twenty-seven candidates for the honors were nominated by Kwikset employees. The four winners were chosen in plant-wide balloting. The "royalty" will be featured on floats in the Anaheim Hallowe'en Parade, Oct. 30. Franklin Pupils Win Talent Show Awards Winners of the talent show which was a feature of the Benjamin Franklin PTA meeting this month, were Myra Miles, first grade; Nevin Graves, third grade; Jack Messamer, fourth grade; Douglas Cook, fifth grade; and Susan Saville, sixth grade. Choices were made by judges Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Magill, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kuhn, and Miss Sally Newlin. Miss Newlin in colorful island costume, presented her own interpretation of a Hawaiian dance as the closing number of the program. Avon Carlson was master of ceremonies. Preceding the talent show was the annual get-acquainted dinner for families, teachers and friends of Benjamin Franklin school students, prepared by members of the PTA executive board. The dining room at Fremont Junior high school was brightly decorated with autumn leaves, black cats and jack-o-lanterns. During the dinner hour, teachers were honored with corsages and boutonaires of yellow mums and were introduced by principal Wilbert Bonney. Committee heads in charge of arrangements were Mrs. Avon Carlson, dinner; Mrs. C. Messamer, decorations; Mrs. Leo Oden, program. Mrs. Carl Berneker, PTA president, invited those present to join the organization and to participate by attending regular meetings. Edison School P.T.A Makes Plans There was also a portly lady sitting to our right who had to get out to the aisle several times during the course of the evening, always carrying with her what I took to be a water softener, not being sure, considering the dim light and all. About midway of the entertainment, they flashed the lights on and told us that they were going to give us the opportunity to contribute to a fund for Korea. Happy shouts of laughter greeted this announcement, for we had all been just tingling for this chance. During a long, tedious cessation of hostilities, while ushers passed oatmeal boxes back and forth across the aisles to collect the loot, and while the man in charge of the air conditioning outdid himself in getting the air into the worst possible condition, I took note of the floor of the theatre. It was littered with candy wrappers, elderly people trying to crawl to the exits croaking: "Water!", and enough discarded popcorn to suggest a ski run at Sun Valley in January. Happy we were to escape from this evening of entertainment at $1.00 per throw. Out in the good air at last, I fell to my knees and offered up thanks for deliverance, not failing to note a sign in a store window across the way advertising a TV set. Home, with TV, was NEVER like this! A measure of two political philosophies: When devastating floods hit Chicago, the Illinois Democratic senator immediately wired the White House for Aid. The Republican senator talked to the governor about "filling out the necessary forms for federal aid." Her fliance obtained his B. A. from Carleton College and his M. S. from the University of Minnesota, following service in the U. S. Army Air Force during World War II. He is a geologist in the Department of the Interior, U. S. Geological Survey in Denver, Colorado. The wedding will take place in April. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Wallesen of 11332 W. Romneya Dr., on Oct. 12 in St. Joseph hospital and weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Gregory, 1272 E. La Palma St., welcomed an 8 lb. 1 oz. son in St. Joseph hospital on Oct. 12. Clausen Installed Grand Master Henry Christian Clausen, of San Francisco, was elected and installed today as Grand Master of 1954-55, of the more than 636 Lodges in California with a combined membership of over 220,000. The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of California concluded the 105th Annual Communication meeting in the Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. The week-long meeting began on Monday, October 11. Long active in Masonic affairs, Mr. Clausen was Master of Ingleside Lodge No. 630, in 1939; and has since served continuously in many Grand Lodge offices. He is also the Deputy in California of the Scottish Rite Supreme Council. There are 15 Scottish Rite Bodies in California with a combined membership of more than 50,000. Committee heads in charge of arrangements were Mrs. Avon Carlson, dinner; Mrs. C. Messamer, decorations; Mrs. Leo Oden, program; Mrs. Carl Berneker, PTA president, invited those present to join the organization and to participate by attending regular meetings. Edison School P.T.A Makes Plans The 340 paid membership was well represented at the first meeting of the newly chartered Edison P. T. A., held recently at the school. Mrs. Herbert Taylor, president, was in the chair. Faculty members were introduced by Principal Harold Franzen, and the executive board members by Mrs. Taylor. The group voted to have Mrs. Taylor and Warren Hibard work in a committee with the City Attorney to draft an ordinance prohibiting the sale of objectionable comics to minors. This committee is to be composed of presidents and juvenile protection chairmen of the 14 P. T. A. units in Anaheim, it was revealed. A 30-minute tour of the school permitted parents time to speak to the teachers and inspect the school. Pie and coffee was served in the kindergarten with executive board members as hostesses. Births It's a boy for Mr. and Mrs. Walter Haas of 1942 Santa Rosalia St., Anaheim. Their 7 lb. 9 oz. son was born in Santa Ana Community hospital on Oct. 12. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Viramonte of 11071 Berry St., became the parents of an 8 lb. 13 oz. daughter in Orange County hospital on October 12. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Harrison, Jr., of 229 Mills Dr., are the parents of a son born in St. Joseph hospital weighing 9 lbs. 3 oz upon arrival on Oct. 9. 62 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of anaheim Gazette By MRS.

The loser of a black figured silk parasol can be informed of its whereabouts by applying at this office. The Town Trustees met in regular session on Wednesday. A number of bills were ordered paid. In the matter of fire hose, it was found that the entire revenue of the town would be needed to pay off the indebtedness already incurred in laying the water pipe, etc., and that the Fire Department must themselves furnish the hose. It is understood that the department has $200 in the treasury available for that purpose. Temporary water rates were fixed and those desiring to make connection with the main pipe will be informed of the rate upon applying to Mr. Selbert. A number of young friends of Miss Mary Horstman besieged the residence of Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Korn on Thursday evening and took the place by storm. The surprise was genuine and was very enjoyable. The party was royally entertained and the evening passed as pleasantly as could be wished. Mrs. Kuelp is now prepared to take charge of a limited number of children, not over ten years of age, to form a Kindergarten and to furnish them a preliminary education. Mr. J. K. Tuffree has opened up a real estate office in the Planters Hotel. When not otherwise engaged, he will be found in his office during business hours and during his absence visitors and patrons will be received by Mrs. John Hanna. The signs are that real estate will be in demand in the near future. We acknowledge a call from Mr. Henry Wayman of Westminster. In a recent trip through the mountains and to the Hot Springs, Mr. Wayman saw a great number of deer and was informed Republican Nominee, 1904 For President—Theodore Roosevelt of New York.

Father Casey officiating at the nuptial mass. Miss Giardino, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfonso Giardino of 211 W. Wilhelmina st., was given in marriage by her father at an alliar decorated with baskets of white wedding flowers. She wore a floor length gown of lace and tulle which was buttoned smugly to the waist and billowed into a bouffant skirt. A crown of pearls and rhinestones caught an illusion veil, and she carried a white prayer book arranged with white orchids. As maid of honor, Miss Lucy Drosie was dressed in a filmy floor length creation of mist green. Her hair was covered with a short matching veil caught with a small crown. She carried a nosegay of autumn flowers. The bridesmaids wore similar gowns in rainbow hues. They were Miss Tootsie De Bruyn and Miss Lollie Slabough of Cypress and Miss Patty Jo Fry of Anaheim. Little Miss Theresa Seta made a charming flower girl in a pink net gown with cumberbund of pale green. She wore a straw bonnet and carried a basket of rose petals. The bridegroom, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gregory Blackman of Cypress, chose Michael Gouyd as his best man. Ushers were Ray Bowling, Fernando Ramos and Earle Peterson. Driver Education Stressed at Meeting The driver education program, as carried out in California high schools, is a vital factor in reducing the accident rate among the drivers in the age group from 16 to 24 years. Statistics prove that trained groups are involved in only half as many accidents as untrained, and that teen-agers, properly trained, are our best drivers. These facts were pointed out to parents attending Monday night's meeting of the Anaheim Union High School Parent-Teacher Association. Mason Henry, driver training class-room instructor, outlined methods of teaching, together with highlights of the course. He explained that while only the classroom training is a compulsory part of the school program, the great majority of sophomore students receive parental permission to take the behind-the-wheel training as well. Praise was given Anaheim High's driver education by Sergeant Norbert DeCock of the Anaheim police force, who commended the instructors for the way in which good driving habits are instilled in the students. Third member of the symposium, Sergeant George Erickson, of the California Highway Patrol, reminded parents that when they sign their teen-ager's license application, they assume full responsibility in case of accident. The program theme, "Youth Should Be Seen—Not Hurt" was further emphasized with a safety film shown through the courtesy of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Mrs. Ray Terry, safety chairman, was program chairman. Mrs. Howard Wilkinson, president presided over the business, meeting which was opened with a prayer by Page Vincent. Legislation chairman, Mrs. Lois Whitington, reported on current ballot issues. Mrs. Sam Loard, membership chairman, reported a total of 330 members to date, with the membership campaign to end Friday. A note of galaxy was added to the meeting with a community sing directed by Sheldon Disrud, accompanied on the piano by Judy Lemcke. Students from the drama de- On School Makes Plans 10 paid membership was presented at the first meeting newly chartered Edison held recently at the Mrs. Herbert Taylor presides in the chair. Faculty were introduced by Harold Franzen, and native board members by Lloro. We acknowledge a call from Mr. Henry Wayman of Westminster. In a recent trip through the mountains and to the Hot Springs, Mr. Wayman saw a great number of deer and was informed that bears were becoming every day more troublesome and plentiful. It seems that it is hard times even with bears. The feed is so scarce high up in the mountains that they are forced to come down into the canyon and raid upon the bees kept there. On the way to school Wednesday morning Master Willie Hilmer stopped to play upon the vacant lot next to Plato's store and while amusing himself fell on a piece of board from which two nails protruded. They entered his forehead and cheek inflicting painful wounds. Th lady friends of St. Michael's Mission are very cordially invited to meet at Mrs. G. H. Kellogg's home on next Thursday at 2 p.m., for the purpose of discussing ways and means of getting up some kind of acceptable entertainment in behalf of the church. At the meeting of the Anaheim Water Company on last Friday, Mr. John Fischer resigned his position as secretary and trustee and Mr. E. Schubert was elected to fill the vacancy. Jotham Bixby, E. N. McDonald and Thomas B. Hayes all of Wilmington, have published a notice that at the meeting of the Board of Supervisors in November they will apply for authority to construct a wharf on the Palos Verde Rancho, Old San Pedro. Mr. John Fischer and family Local Woman on Agriculture Census Appointment of Mrs. Jean Morris of Anaheim as a crew leader for the 1954 Census of Agriculture was announced today by Field Supervisor, Mrs. Erma Kerrigan. Mrs. Morris will direct a force of 12 enumerators who will canvass all farms in Fullerton. She reported on Oct. 11 to the census agricultural field office at Los Angeles, for a week of training. The crew leader is one of the key people in the field operations of the Census of Agriculture. It is her responsibility to train enumerators and supervise their work; plan and allocate work assignments; review the work of the enumerators and take remedial action where necessary, and to conduct difficult enumerations. After attending the training conference, Mrs. Morris will return to this district where she will spend three weeks recruiting enumerators, checking enumeration district boundaries, and training enumerators in preparation for the start of the census on Nov. 4th, 1954. PULLERTON POLICE CHIEF ADDRESSES NATIVE DAUGHTERS, GOLDEN WEST Police chief Garner of Fullerton addressed a safety meeting quite recently by Native Daughters of the Golden West, Grace Parlor, Leota Cardin presided. The Grand President's visit on Oct. 1818 at the Huntington Beach Chapter, held in Muninelpal Hall, 6th and Magnolia, Huntington Beach. By request, the Parlor will make bed jackets for TB wards at Orange County hospital again this year. Project chairman, Eva Rice, announced plans for sewing sessions to start immediately. Mrs. W. W. White of Penn Yne, New York, arrived by train yesterday (Oct. 13) to spend the winter with her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Keith White of 13951 Country Lane.

Statistics prove that driving is good in Anaheim. COUNTY BOND ISSUE SEEN AS GOOD BUSINESS FOR TAXPAYERS Construction of adequate county buildings to house governmental departments, eliminate present rental costs of about $40,000 a year, and permit more efficient operations, is a "must" from the standpoint of economy, said a statement from the county Board of Supervisors this week. The courthouse and other county buildings began "bursting at the seams" some years ago and this condition has rapidly grown worse, with the tremendous spurt in population now under way, said the Board. "The attempt to conduct county business with a patchwork conglomeration of public and private buildings is not only inefficient, but is also costly, as inefficiency is always costly," the Board statement said. "The rent bill of the county for quarters required by departments which cannot find room in county buildings has risen to about $40,000 a year and must continue to increase steadily as growth forces expansion, unless the county builds its own structure." Anaheim Ikettes Stage Hat Parade A unique hat parade which took its theme from the nation's conservation program was the entertainment given by the Anaheim Ikettes at the recent funce-oon and social held by the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Luncheon was served at the Optimist Clubhouse where the patriotic decorations were done by Mrs. A. E. Harrison, Mrs. Charles Hokanson, Mrs. Don Claybaugh and Mrs. Ray Tozer. A talk entitled, "What Relief Society Means to Me—a Mother," was given by Mrs. Richard Titinsor. A musical program followed with Mrs. Charles Parslow playing DeBussy's "Clair de Lune" and the Mothers group singing "Sweet Is The Work."

"The proposed new building program is designed not only for present needs but also for a reasonable period of the future. It would be financially unwise not to do the building job all at once." By financing with a bond issue, the cost of this forward-looking building program would, however, be spread over the future, and future population would help pay it. "The tax rate under the plan for a $11,000,000 courthouse bond issue would be considerably less than half the tax rate if the buildings were financed by direct tax levy over a period of six years. The tax rate by direct tax would be about 30 cents per $100 on assessed valuation for courthouse construction. Building plans call for carefully worked out arrangement of departments to achieve the most efficient operation as well as public convenience. Situated on the civic center already acquired, except for several parcels, the new courthouse would have 486,971 square feet of floor space, costing an estimated $y0,362,742.38. Sidewalks, paving, fees and other items would bring the total cost to $11,148,296.30. "The Board of Supervisors feels that the voters and taxpayers are entitled to know the facts of what is proposed and why it is proposed; to understand the need as well as the remedy, when asked to vote on the courthouse and county hospital bond issues November 2."

Salvation Army Helps Handicapped Reconditioning of thousands of castoff articles contributed by local residents keep scores of handicapped men busy In the Salvation Army Social Service Center that serves this area. These men turn to the Salvation Army for help because their handicaps keep them from finding work in private industry. Many are too old. Others have lost an arm or leg or are paralysis victims. Some are disabled veterans, others are parolees or men attempting to combat alcoholism. Friendly, experienced counsellors interview applicants entering the Center and attempt to learn their backgrounds and problems. Then they are sent to the shop foreman for suitable assignment in the Center's occupational therapy program. Men who have lost all hope are lifted from despondency by the Salvation Army program. They receive housing, food and cash grants totaling many thousands of dollars annually. Brigadier William J.

Mrs. Macla, the courageous Placentia housewife who joined the Communist party as an agent of the FBI, related her experience and revealed various ways in which the Communist are trying to infiltrate our country. A stimulating question and answer period followed. During the business session, Mrs. Virgil Daoust presided. Seventy new members were initiated into the society in ceremonies conducted by Mrs. Marian Spencer, Orange County advisor of the Federation of Women's clubs. The roster now totals 210 members. Greetings and welcome were given the initiates by membership chairman, Mrs. Britt Gray and senior advisor, Mrs. Charles Bush. Discussion centered upon the Christmas dinner dance and it was decided to hold it at the Yorba Village Inn, Garden Grove. The ramifications of the current bond issue were explained by Keith Murdock, Anaheim City Manager. A delightful social period followed with the tea tables decorated in the Hallowe'en theme with pumpkins and masks. Mmes. Marian Spencer, Virgi Daoust, Charles Bush, and Arthur Pressel poured.
