BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. This will be a scientific treatise on that highly-contagious childhood disease called mumps, as seen through the eyes of an adult. And it will be absolutely authentic, for as I write this I am in the throes of that peculiarly vicious (for those past puberty) malady. To be correct, I should say that I don't have "mumps" but so far only a "mump." If the "mump" develops into the plural, then I think I shall quit calling for aureomycin and ask for a revolver instead. As a youth I always considered myself fortunate to have escaped the disease. Now all I can say is "Backward, Turn Backward, O Time in thy flight, make me a boy again just for tonight." A question arises, however, as to which is worse, the affliction itself or the drugs prescribed to alleviate it. My doctor, who never liked me very well anyway, immediately prescribed aureomycin, one of the "wonder" drugs. It makes you wonder, all right. Sixteen vile yellow capsules of this stuff cost me $8.00. I think each capsule must contain a mixture of 15% drug and 85% gold dust. But what there is of the drug has profound effect. After two of them 'you start raving about the state of the nation', the medical profession; and start calling your wife "George.' After the fourth one you will fall into fitful slumbers S-D Day December 15 Chief of Police Stephenson today asked for help. "Yes, I'm asking for help," Chief Stephenson said. "I am asking every driver and pedestrian in Anaheim to help reduce traffic accidents to a minimum - zero if we can — on Dec. 15, S-D Day (Safe Driving Day). "I am asking every man, woman, and child who uses the streets to accept full personal responsibility for observing the letter and spirit of all traffic regulations." "S-D Day is being observed all over the country. It is sponsored by the President's Action Committee for traffic safety and hundreds of local, state and national organizations to demonstrate that traffic accidents can be reduced materially if we all pitch in. We're going to give S-D Day our full support in Anaheim, but it's program in which we all must participate. "Police drivers and civilian employees of the Police department are being urged to set a good example to S-D Day. They are asked to exercise particular caution in their driving and walking on that day. We want to show the people of Anaheim that we also practice what we preach. "In Anaheim on an average week day this time the year we have about three traffic accidents of types. These accidents don't have to happen, and they wouldn't happen if every citizen would drive and walk as he would have everyone else drive and walk. "Remember S-D Day, and then make every day you Safe Driving Day." FAVORABLE REPORT ON M. O.

Particularly was this true Sixteen vile yellow capsules of this stuff cost me $8.00. I think each capsule must contain a mixture of 15% drug and 85% gold dust. But what there is of the drug has profound effect. After two of them 'you start raving about the state of the nation', the medical profession, and start calling your wife "George." After the fourth one you will fall into fitful slumbers haunted by the most horrible nightmares. In one of these fantasies, I dreamed that Walt Disney was going to turn Center street into a canal and run steamboats up and down it, also that the boss had given me a $5.00 raise and that I had gone to the polls and voted Republican. In another dream, I was hanging by my hands from a trapeze bar. There was a drop of about 10 feet to the hard ground, and there was a sinister character holding a stepladder just out of reach of my feet. It was my doctor. As the drug starts getting you really "hooked," you break out in awful sweats and develop delusions of persecution. Something like paranoia. You get the idea that someone is trying to poison you. This tends for amity around the house, especially since mother-in-law is visiting us and doing most of the cooking. To break the awful boredom of lying flat on my back day in and day out, I suggested to the Doctor that I be placed on a cot and carried out onto the lawn where I could wave at the crews of the Southern Pacific freight trains as they lumber down the middle of So. Olive street. Perhaps they would take up a collection and get me a bicycle. The doctor didn't even deign to answer me, but looked at my wife and said "the crisis is approaching sooner than usual in these cases." But there are small diversions to break the monotony of the sickbed. The 'kid,' while playing football the other day, crumpled up his leg and had to be taken to the hospital for a 24-hour check. From the size of the bill, they must have flown him to some specialist in Paris. And then there is a little neighborhood kid who comes to my bedroom window five or six times a day, looks in wide-eyed, says "Gosh!" then runs off. This DELIVERED AT ANNUAL MEETING A half-million dollar gain in the market value f. o. b. the pacehouse, of fresh citrus sales was achieved by Mutual Orange Distributors in 1954, despite the short crop of valencia oranges, reports Roy Handley, manager, finance department, at the 49th annual meeting of the marketing cooperative held in Redlands last week. In spite of the extreme crop reductions in some areas, the returns to growers closely approximated those of last year, he continued, thus exhibiting MOD's adaptability to fluctuating crop conditions. The meeting was held in the YWCA activities building, with James A. Baker, of Anaheim, retiring president, of the board of directors, presiding. In his opening remarks, Baker commended the officials and staff of the central organization, for what he termed the rigid economy and efficient management of the cooperative's affairs during the past year. Describing the 1953-54 season, and particularly the valencia orange season, as one of great travail, he expressed the opinion that the performance record of the selling organization was something of which all growers could be extremely proud. "Packing-house managers, too, were to be congratulated on the efficient manner in which they were able to get a good pack-out in spite of the many off-blooms and the general irregularity of the crop," he said. Robbins Russel, general manager, paid tribute to the support and understanding of the board of directors and the packing-house managers of Mutual Orange Distributors in meeting and resolving the many problems encountered during the past year. In discussing the export market and its importance to the industry, Russell disclosed that Ruth Ives Kaufman's Book 'Cinderella' In Library Display Miss Elva Haskett of the Anaheim Junior Library invited the public to attend library open house on Thursday evening, Dec. 2, 8 to 9:30 o'clock. The affair is in honor of a well-known local illustrator of children's books Ruth Ives Kaufman. Her latest book, "Cinderella," just off the MOD took full advantage of opportunities of the export market during the past season; this aided in contributing to success of the selling season. Particularly was this true the 1954 lemon deal, he declared Without the outlet provided the export market, the domestic market could not have helped as well as it did.

Mighty Colonists Face Glendale in Titanic Grid Tilt By JIM WRIGHT The light, but mighty, Anaheim "Colonist"' football team advanced to the quarter-finals of the Central Group C.I.F. Playoffs last Monday afternoon when they thoroughly trounced the San Gabriel League Champion, Covina High, 35-6. The boys who display the "Blue and Gold" of A.U.H.S. will be out to improve on their Monday showing, and their unblemished 10-0 season record this Saturday night when they encounter the powerful Glendale Hoover team at the Fullerton stadium. Game time is set for 8:00; however, judging from past performances on the part of the Anaheim fans who have been turning out for the games, the stadium will be packed to overflowing. So don't wait too long in arriving Saturday evening or there might be standing room only—come fog, rain or what you have. Light But Good The local team stands out in the Playoffs, as the only team sporting an unblemished record. This accomplishment is even more impressive because they are the lightest team to make the big 1954 playoff series. Actually the Colonist are unbeaten over a longer period of time, although they were eliminated in last year's playoffs by a Santa Monica "first down win" at the tail end of their 21-21 tie game. Even though they are a light team, the Van Hoorebeke coached eleven more than makes up for any apparent lack of heft—they being speed, precision, teamwork and a terrific desire to win. The forward line averages only 175 pounds and has been outweighed continually throughout the past season, but never outplayed, the backs average a slight 153 pounds, however, there isn't an Anaheim fan that would trade Anaheim backfield for any other high school backfield seen this year. Coach and Fans Since Clare Van Hoorebeke took over the reins of the varsity football coaching at Anaheim High, the school repeatedly has been well represented on the football filed by well-coached, hard playing students. The parents of these students and alumni from other years, give Van Hoorebeke, his coaching staff and his teams votes of approval by flocking to see them play. They support the team by their presence, interest and cheers. At the fogged out game last Saturday night there were many Anaheim rooters ready and waiting for the game to begin. When the postponed game took place Monday afternoon the overflow of local fans filled the available seats before the Covina fans arrived and very nearly caused a riot when the Covina police tried to remove them so the Covina fans could sit down. As this didn't succeed a Covina school official ordered all of the Covina rooters to stand so the people from this fair city could not see. Result, Anaheim fans stood, yelled louder, had more to yell about, and came home happy. It is often said that a team's line play makes the backs look good. This is very true at A.U.H.S.; their line play springs the backs into the open and then JAMES F. McWATERS (New Bank Manager) lace, chairman of the board chief executive officer.McWaters will succeed B. W. "Barney" dan who is moving to Sunnydale to organize two new banks. Orange County Man Although born in Grobe, A.Jim, as he likes to be called, raised and attended school in ange county. His family moved Santa Ana when he was seven lived there for 10 years before moving to Los Angeles.

He transferred to the audit department of the bank where remained until joining the m in 1944.

Mr. and Mrs. Paul R. Chambers of 22123 Dogwood St., announce with pride the birth of a 7 lb. one-half ounce son, born in Fullerton Cottage hospital on November 19. It is often said that a team's line play makes the backs look good. This is very true at A.U.H.S.; their line play springs the backs into the open and then the backs do what is needed. When the team takes the field Saturday night and you view the Colonist backfield fighting for yardage, remember also the boys playing in the Anaheim line are fighting just as hard to remove opposing would-be-tacklers. There were many hours of rough, hard practice sessions spent in teaching the boys the fundamentals which brought about the individual skills and coordinated teamwork. This made it possible for the team to advance to their present position as one of the top high school teams in Southern California. Good Backfield The overall backfield strength of the Colonist is truly amazing. The playing of high scoring, speedy 148-pound Mickey Gouyd; of the hard driving, ground gaining, defensive ace, LeRoy Weaver; of the ball handling and faking of Paul Grover; of the steady overall play of Henry Herrera; of the flashy breakaway runs of sophomore back, Mickey Flynn; and the play of other backs such as Joe Avetia, George Dena, Ronnie Fuller, the two Penfield brothers and others. It has been pleasing to coaches and fans alike. See you Saturday night at Fullerton. UNION OIL GETTING LARGER CONTRACT Fifty-five million gallons of aviation gasoline will be supplied by Western Air Lines by Union Company of California during next three years under terms of contract signed Dec. 1 by Stan R.
