OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. This is a wonderful time of the year. There is that intoxicating tang of autumn in the air, bright blue days . . . nippy nights. It imparts a spring to the step, whets the appetite, and makes one want to breathe deeply (unless he lives in Los Angeles.) It is a time to get out and rake up leaves. Doesn't it just make you long to get out with some old rake? The imminence of Hallowe'en, and the impending excitement of a good, old-fashioned American election add zest to the season. It is a time of witchcrafty and hobgoblins. More than one demagogue is yelling "boo" into the microphones during the course of "non-political" speeches. And dear old Anaheim readies herself to play host to countless thousands in the mightiest celebration of Hallowe'en ever to be held in the United States. And . . . don't scoff when it is said that there really are witches. If you do, then its a sign you are getting old. One waited on me in a local eating house just the other day. This is a time when we all should revert to childhood, revel in the excitement of a throbbing community festival, and dwell high in the dizzy realm of unreality and make-believe . Just like Sam Yorty. I have said it before and I'll say it again: the advent of modern plumbing took all the romance Orange Co. Extended Phone Service Is Boon to Rapidly Expanding Area All New Chevrolet Makes its Debut Pronounced mechanical advances plus new riding comfort and a complete re-stylling of bodies give Chevrolet for 1955 its most spectacular model announcement. No major part of the car has been overlooked in the broadscale improvement program. Driving ease and riding comfort benefit along with the creation of fresh automotive design. The accomplishment, says the company, has been possible only because of a thorough job of product re-engineering and the tremendous new plant facilities Chevrolet adds this year. The 1955 models will go on display at dealer showrooms nationally tomorrow (Oct. 28). From an extraordinarily long list of new features the public will see at that time, these are particularly outstanding: First automobiles in the low-price field to reflect the "dream car" influence of the General Motors Motoramas. All roofs have been visibly lowered with a corresponding reduction in hood and belt lines to accentuate a longer, fleeter appearance. Overall, sedans have been lowered two and one-half inches, station wagons as much as six. At the same time, passenger room has been increased. First V8 engine offered on a Chevrolet in 35 years. Profiting by recent research in combustion and manufacturing techniques, the Sunday will signal the start of a new era for Pacific Telephone's Orange County subscribers, beginning at 12:01 a.m. District manager J. L. Richards said at that exact time three main events will occur: (1) Extended service will become effective for all the company's telephones in the county; (2) Orange telephones will be converted to automatic operation; and (3) Prefix names will be established for three exchanges. These include KEllogg-8 for Orange, GYpsy-6 for Dana Point and HYacinth-2 for San Clemente. Under extended service subscribers will be able to call a greatly increased number of Orange County telephones at local call rates. Proposed service rates were approved by the state Public Utilities Commission Oct. 13 following a formal Oct. 1 hearing in Santa Ana. The improved service climaxes a planning and expansion program by Pacific Telephone started in 1947. Results of the program, aimed toward establishment of the service, include conversion of Santa Ana, Fullerton, Beacon and Orange telephones to dial; opening of a new wire center in Cypress; provision of standard two-leter, fivefigure numbers in all dial exchanges and additions of equipment and cables throughout the county. Because calling areas and procedures will differ by exchanges, Richards referred subscribers to pages 3 and 4 of the new Orange county telephone directory for in- This is a time when we all should revert to childhood, revel in the excitement of a throbbing community festival, and dwell high in the dizzy realm of unreality and make-believe. Just like Sam Yorty. I have said it before and I'll say it again: the advent of modern plumbing took all the romance out 'of Hallowe'en. And on the same theme, let me warn the Republicans: Boys, it ain't going to be any pushover. Mr. George McLain's Proposition 4 is worthy of close scrutiny by the prospective voter before he enters the voting booth. Remember this: Mr. McLain is sincere in helping someone in their old age: especially a guy named McLain. Observers in the northern part of the state were mystified and alarmed last night to observe a weird streak of light flashing across the heavens in a westerly direction. Some thought it was a comet. Other theories was that it might have been a flying saucer, or some secret weapon. The alarm is probably unfounded. It was most likely a Democrat getting out of the country before next Tuesday's election. As is our custom preceding elections of importance, we publish our "Handy Glossary for Voters." This is designed to strip the film of ambiguity from the fulminations of political orators and present them for what the speaker really means in his heart, if he has one. "...now, let us consider the great era of prosperity which lies just ahead." (Anybody got a crystal ball?) ... "my worthy opponent." (That grasping old cot.) "We ASK YOU TO LOOK AT OUR RECORD!" (We ask you to look at our record.) ... to prevent floods and to utilize cheap electrical power, the rivers must be dammed." (To say nothing of the public.) ADULT SCOUTING CONFERENCE HELD Donna May, Joanna McFarland First V8 engine offered on a Chevrolet in 35 years. Profiting by recent research in combustion and manufacturing techniques, the V8 is unveiled as "far more precisely built and efficient in performance than others in its class." Named the "Turbo-Fire V8," the V8 delivers 162 horsepower. Higher horsepower ratings and new quietness and smoothness in two "Blue Flame" sixes. Engines are of the traditional valve-inhead design, which in the last few years has won virtually 100 per cent acceptance by other makes. A 123-horsepower engine is available with the manual gearshift. The six built exclusively for the Powerglide automatic transmission now develops 136 horsepower. Brand new among 14 bodies on the One-Fifty, Two-Ten, and Bel Air series are two-door station wagons. The complete line-up shows two-and-four-door sedans in all series, two-door station wagons in the Two-Ten and Bel Air, a utility sedan in the One-Fifty, a club coupe in the Two-Ten and sport and convertible coupes in the Bel Air series. A result of years of research and hundreds of thousands of miles of severe testing, the valve-inhead V8 carries a compression ratio of 8 to 1 and a displacement of 265 cubic inches. The engine is exceedingly compact with a bore of 3.75 and a stroke of 3 inches. Although Chevrolet has had V8s under experiment since it tried out this design in 1917-19, the "Turbo-Fire V8" entails basic redesign in the last three years. Engineers sought the compactness of a short crankshaft with the power of large displacement. The bore is said to be unusually large for an engine of the "Turbo-Fire V8's" length. The combustion chamber is wedge-shaped to provide virtual total combustion of fuel fed by double-throated carburetter. With a minimum of friction and high thermal efficiency, the economy of operation is said to be exceptional. Because calling areas and procedures will differ by exchanges, Richards referred subscribers to pages 3 and 4 of the new Orange county telephone directory for instructions in using extended service. “This service means added convenience at reduced costs for our Orange county telephone users,” Richards said. “And that's right in line with Pacific Telephone's established policy of providing the best possible service at lowest cost.” Board Plans Expansion of School Plant Work is scheduled to begin in January, 1955 on a building program that will result in the construction of one 16-room school, two 10-room schools and 28 classrooms on four sites plus 14 movable classrooms, according to John P. Mary, president of the Board of Education. The program, to cost a total of $1,250,000, is designed to provide facilities for the more than 2000 students in kindergarten through sixth grades who will come into the Anaheim school system in the next two years. Thirty-six classrooms have been built to take care of the 40 per cent increase in students over June of last year, Mary said. Building plans include the addition of eight classrooms and sanitary facilities at Thomas Edison School, six classrooms at Lincoln School and a new 10-room school on E. Vermont Street near Placeia Avenue. Other additions planned include six permanent classrooms at Loara School, eight permanent classrooms at Adelaide Price School and a new 16-room school on W. La Palma. Three portable classrooms will be installed at Edison, Loara, Price vice, include conversion of Santa Ana, Fullerton, Beacon and Orange telephones to dial; opening of a new wire center in Cypress; provision of standard two-letter, five figure numbers in all dial exchanges and additions of equipment and cables throughout the county.

ADULT SCOUTING CONFERENCE HELD Donna May, Joanna McFarland and Charlene Allan represented Anaheim at the Adult Scouting Conference held in Monterey on Tuesday ad Wednesday of this week. These Senior Girl Scouts were chosen by the Anaheim Senior Scout Selections Committee, the theme of the conference was "Room for One More." Three portable classrooms will be installed at Edison, Loara, Price and Katella Schools. A total of 14 portable classrooms will be constructed and should be ready for use in the middle of January. Last evening, (Oct. 27) the Edison P.T.A. Executive Board met at the home of Mrs. Edward Kearn, 618 Hawthorne street.

According to an announcement last night from parade headquarters, Donald Duck, the lovable cartoon character created by Walt Disney, will appear as grand marshal. The voluble duck will ride in the leading parade contingent on the lap of Clarence Nash who has been his voice since Donald was born on Disney's drawing board. More than 150,000 persons are expected to flock to Anaheim, Saturday to witness the Festival which is billed as the most elaborate production of its kind in the West.

William H. Hirstein and Cecil J. Marks will be contestants in balloting for the position of supervisor from the Fourth Supervisory District. The post was vacated by Willard Smith of Orange after serving for more than 30 years. Hirstein, former mayor of Orange, and Marks, former executive secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, finished on top in one of the closest primary races in the history of county politics. Orange County residents have a definite interest in the race for the senate seat now held by Thomas A. Kuchel of Anaheim. Kuchel is opposed by Democrat Samuel Yorty. In the 28th Congressional District, the incumbent Republican, James B. Utt, is opposed by Mrs. Harriet Enderle. In the two Orange County Assembly districts, Earl Stanley 74th district and LeRoy Lyon, Jr., (75th) are the Republican incumbents. They are opposed by Democratic candidates Claud W. Carrick and Harry Fox. In the face for the governorship, Goodwin J. Knight is opposed by Richard Graves, former secretary of the California League of Cities. A hotter state race is shaping up for the Board of Equalization post now held by William Bonnelli who is opposed by McDavid. Topping the list of local propositions on the ballot are two bond issues totaling $17,000,000 in which sored by the Anaheim Junior Ebell society on Tuesday morning, Oct. 26.

Forecasters Predict Light Vote in Tuesday Election New Type Bank In Orange County A new type bank worth knowing about, has been started in Orange county. Named "The Miners' Bank" it is located in Ghost Town, Knott's Berry Farm, Buena Park. It is a real stamp and coin collection bank operated by a past master in dealing with coins and stamps Ed Fish. Mr. Fish extends a cordial welcome to all to visit this bank. An old tin box of coins belonging to Mr. Fish's grandfather started this hobby which has developed into a class "A" business by Fish, a professional dancer for years. In his own Omaha dancing academy where he employed seven teachers, he taught dancing. An accident ended this career and attributed toward the development of this hobby. He lived for nine years in Fresno. Now his business has branched out until he is known all over the country, and is well acquainted with all phases of coin and stamp collection. Fortunately for him, "The Miners' Bank" in Ghost Town was about completed, a fascinating old structure on School House road. Here, "Ed" appraisals stamps and coins for beginners and seasoned collectors. He loves the business and nothing is too much trouble if it is going to help his clients. New Stamp Club Started Right now Mr. Fish is interested in the new Junior Stamp club started in Buena Park Boys' club. Fish is identified with outstanding organizations in this activity in the country including the American Numismatic association, the Chief Custom Catalina The maximum of mileage of American railways was reached about 1916. Beans Removed From Limitation On Acreages As a result of unfavorable weather and a prospective drop in production of edible dry beans, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has removed the acreage restriction on dry edible beans as a pre-requisite for price support in 1955, according to an announcement today by Don A. Schroeder, chairman of the Orange County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Committee. Schroeder explained that as originally set up, the program for 1955 price support carried with it the requirement that the average acreage of the 1952-53 crop of beans, vegetables and potatoes (both Irish and sweet) is not to be exceeded. The removal of beans—which, in Orange County means limas—from this list is of importance to the farmers of this area, Schroeder said, as this is the principal group that was affected by the original requirement. The city of Boston, Mass., was permanently settled by Puritan leaders on June 17, 1630. A styling advance from any point claimed by the company for 1955 Chevrolet lineup of 14 models has been restyled and in addition incorporates array of chassis improvements ever Chevrolet on a new model.

Capturing the best stream lines and color combinations, the designers of the 1955 Pontiac have reached new heights in eye-catching beauty as well as comfort and safety. The first glance at the Pontiac reveals its low, rakish silhouette. The modern, imposing front-end, low hood, panoramic windshield, long rear deck and rear fender fins are outstanding features of its fleet appearance. An exciting innovation in Pontiac's exterior colors this year is its "Vogue" two-toning. The roof color extends down to the middle of the front door and sweeps back across the fenders and rear deck.

The new color division, accentuating the streamlined road-hugging look of the 1955 Pontiac, is adaptable to the complete line of lustrous new colors. The front bumpers have bright, massive dual impact bars and a connecting grille bar. The radiator grill has the streamlined appearance of a jet plane air scoop. Above each headlight is a futuristic air crescent. Twin silver streaks, so popular on Pontiac's "dreaem car," the Bonneville Special, sweep back from the radiator grill on each side of the low hood. A flying-wing hood ornament keynotes the modern design of the car. The silver streak motif is continued with chrome streaks along the top of each of the rear fender fins terminating at massive tail lamps. Dual bumper impact bars and the graceful wing-and-circle emblem on the trunk lid give new beauty and distinction to the 1955 Pontiac's rear look. The low hood line and increased glass area allows the driver to see all four fenders, an aid in parking and maneuvering the car. The mating of beauty and function of design in the 1955 Pontiac, the powerful new engine and the numerous mechanical improvements in all parts of the car, have led many experts to tag this "Geeneral Motors-Masterpiece" as the "car of the year."
