BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. NOW COMES the story of a child in Santa Fe, New Mexico, who is allergic to Christmas. The fifth grader despises Christmas candy. He's allergic to evergreen. Saint Nick makes him violently ill. Almost everything connected with Christmas sends him to bed in pain. He even got sick the other day after brushing against an evergreen tree at his school. I think I can sympathize somewhat with this boy. When I look at the naked earthiness of our annual money orgy at what is supposed to be the pre-eminent religious festival of the year, I, too become slightly nauseated. And when I think of the bills which will accrue and which must be laboriously paid after the mess has been cleared up, the pain gets worse. This traditionally should be a time when we should put the soft-pedal on materialism and pay homage to a little babe in a manger, but we are too prone instead, to make obeisance to a little old green dollar bill in a cash register. The plaintive voice of the Prince of Peace is lost in the harsh jangle of pieces-of-eight. Any child on the street can give you a sharp and cynical delineation of the fable of Santa Claus. But ask that same gamin to tell you The Story, and he is liable to become shifty-eyed and embarrassed.

PAY $188,000,000 YEARLY TAX BILL Taxes cost the people of Orange county more than $188,000 a year—their part of the just under $8,000,000 combined federal state, and local tax bill which comes out of the earnings of the people of California in a year. Californians association said they about $460 per person—or $2,500 for a family of four—association found. For the 294,200 people in orange county (Jan. 1954)—a straight population basis—cost $188,147,000 for the year 1954, their share of the $7,858,000 total taxes paid by Californians for all government during the year. Actual property tax levied in the county was $29,148,187 for 1954. Included in the $7,858,071 total tax bill paid by Californians during 1954 was: Federal taxes, $5,369,295,000 or $439 per person. State taxes, $1,385,237,000-$113 per capita. O’Kanes Shop Is Club’s Project Headquarters The Service Clubs of Anaheim are banding together under the chairmanship of John O’Kane, to repair and rejuvenate toys for needy children for Christmas. The O’Kane Cabinet Shop, 113 W. Chestnut, will be open from 6:30 to 9:30 every night for volunteer workers to repair, paint, sew answer phone, etc. More toys are needed and they may be brought directly to the shop.

Any child on the street can give you a sharp and cynical delineation of the fable of Santa Claus. But ask that same gamin to tell you The Story, and he is liable to become shifty-eyed and embarrassed. We Americans fatiously declare that we are a highly religious nation, but our annual Christmas spending binge does little in the eyes of the rest of the world to support that claim. It is not that we should not enjoy our higher wages and better standard of living. But too often we place too much emphasis on those things to the detriment of other values. Let's face it. We Yankees are alone in the field when it comes to placing commercialism over delity at Christmas time. The churches strive mightily to raise the song and praise, but their combined voice, however compelling, is lost in the roar and the discord of the faster life, the bargain sales, the insistent and strident appeal to the pocketbook, the material, the hard, cold things which in the final analysis are transient, intangible. Merrily we pursue these things, heedless of something more solid and lasting. The financial pages of our great newspapers proudly proclaim that this year represents the greatest volume of Christmas buying in our history. So what does it avail us if we could buy out the whole world? At a perilous time in our history, could we not show the rest of the world that we are truly capable of leadership in fields other than the amassing of pure wealth? Whole civilizations have perished into dust after pursuing such policies. There is much more to Christmas than a tinselled package and a gift certificate. The Spirit of Christmas need not be thrown out into the back yard with the shriveled Christmas tree. "Put Christ back in Christmas" might be old-fashioned, but at least it is worth the attempt. We've tried everything else and still are frustrated. Is it not a sorry commentary on this "most Christian" of all countries that we settle back after the great frenzy of the "holidays" and consign a great and beautiful re- are banding together under the chairmanship of John O'Kane, to repair and rejuvenate toys for needy children for Christmas.

John Ballman, 72 Dies in Hospital John Ballman, 72, father of William "Bill" Ballman, Anaheim appliance dealer, died Wednesday morning at the Anaheim Community hospital after a brief illness. A native of Germany, Mr. Ballman came to America in 1922 and lived in Detroit, Mich. until the family home was established in Anaheim in 1933. Also surviving him are three daughters, Mrs. Walter A. Erni of Long Beach, Mrs. Raymond W. Hafler of Maryland, Mrs. Eric L. Burton of Whittier; sons George of Fullerton, Kurt C. of Detroit, Mich., and Harry C. of Anaheim, 14 grandchildren and a sister and brother in Germany. He was a member of Bethel Baptist church. Funeral services will be conducted from the Hilgenfeld chapel Friday at 2 p.m. Rev. Berthold Jacksteit, pastor of Bethel church, will officiate and burial will be in the family plot in Anaheim cemetery. Christmas Seal Sales Progress The 1954 Christmas Seal Sale so far has resulted in $26,142 for the fight against tuberculosis, the Rev. Karl Christ, Santa Ana, chairman of the sale, announces. Christ said that returns to the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Assn., sponsors of the sale, are $5,000 above the same period for last year, with more people responding. The 1954 goal is $60,000 for the county, he said. Local funds go primarily to finance the well-known free chest X-rays.

Among the pre-nuptial part honoring the bride-elect was recent brunch given by Miss Gloria and Marrian Taylor.

Kirkwood, state controller, announced that Oran county's share of the $5,519,886 Highway Users Taxes available for apportionment to counties for the month ended Oct. 31, is $110,932.12. Merchants, Officials Merchants, Officials Disneyland on Anaheim 5,000,000 Visitors Annually to Area Predicted for 160-Acre Wonderland What impact will Walt Disney's fabulous new "Disneyland," abuilding on a 160-acre tract right in Anaheim front yard, have on the city and surrounding area? It is bound to be large, for no community could escape the effect of a project of this scope, which when completed next summer is expected to attract some 5,000,000 visitors a year to the Anaheim area. Merchants and Chamber of Commerce officials speculate on this great influx of tourists with their dollar potential. Traffic enforcement officials, too, are probably wondering what problems will arise along an already congested Santa Ana Freeway, especially of free-wheeling week ends. Why did Disney pick the Orange county site for his fairyland which will in effect amount to a perpetual World's Fair? In 1952, according to "For night," California's twice-monthly magazine, Disney hired a Stanford Research Institute team headed by C.V. Wood, who later became general manager of Disneyland. The team studied population and climate figures for the nation and eventually picked the Orange county site. (At the Santa Ana Freeway and Harbor Blvd.) There, 20 miles by Santa Ana Freeway from Los Angeles and only six miles from the L.A. area's 7,000,000 population. Disney purchased land and in May this year began construction of his dream land, product of probably the most fertile brain in the field of age and bolt the store, to deliver some ill-fitting and impractical and outlandishly priced shred of railment before your true love on Christmas only to watch her try to hide shades of bitter disappointment beneath a gush of "ooh'g" and "ah's" which ring as true as a code of ethics in a real estate agent's office. Oh well, she was going down to that store the next day, anyhow. Bah! Humbug! 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1907 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA COUNTY BRANCH OF HIWAY PATROL VOWS VIGILANCE "The California Highway Patrol is pledged to help provide a happy holiday season in Orange County by keeping the highways safe for all motorists and pedestrians," commented Captain H. W. Null, Commander of the local Patrol, today. Capt. Null pointed out that 10 persons were killed and 136 were injured in Orange county last December while 228 were killed and 3988 were injured in all unincorporated areas of the state during the same month. "Drinking, speed and carelessness are the biggest threats in holiday traffic, and we intend to devote special attention to correcting this type of driving behavior." Capt. Null said. "To provide the best protection possible, and to offer the most efficient traffic control, the Patrol has cancelled all leaves and days off for Officers during the holiday traffic peaks," the Captain added. Native Sons Name Officers for 1955 Anaheim Citizens Invited to View Nativity Scene And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in the manger." (St. Luke 2:16). One of the most celebrated moments in the history of mankind is depicted in this Nativity scene erected on the spacious lawn of Mottell's and Peek Colonial Home, 7801 East Bolsa Ave., Midway City. This scene representing the birth of Christ covers over 150 feet of space, and the figures in bas-relief show the arrival of the Three Wise Men on their camels, bearing gifts. Residents of Anaheim and the surrounding area are invited to view this Biblical scene which will remain on display until January 1. The sacred scene, which is well-lighted at night, was erected under the direction of E. C. Purnell, Resident-Director of Mottell's. "We are most happy to present this portrayal of the Christmas story," Purnell stated. "It is appealing to both young and old alike."

It is could escape the effect along an already congested Ana Freeway, especially on wheeling week ends. Did Disney pick the Or County site for his fairyland will in effect amount to virtual World's Fair? 1952, according to "Fort-California's twice-monthly issue," Disney hired a Stanford Institute team headed by Wood, who later became manager of Disneyland, and studied population and figures for the nation and finally picked the Orange Isle. (At the Santa Ana and Harbor Blvd.) 20 miles by Santa Ana from Los Angeles and 300 population, Disney purported and in May this year construction of his dream-product of probably the terrible brain in the field of modern day entertainment. Half of the 5,000,000 annual visitors are expected to be tourists from 47 states, with California visitors making up the balance. Disneyland will accommodate 60,000 visitors daily, with parking space for 10,000 automobiles and restaurants that will serve 7,000 meals and snacks an hour. Wonderland Visitors will walk through the Disneyland railroad station and a tunnel that separates Disneyland from the outside world, and enter a small town from turn-of-the-century America. Horse-drawn streetcars will clatter down Main Street, past town hall, emporium and old-fashioned ice cream parlor. A sign will read "Room and Board—$2.50 a week", and somewhere a barber shop quartet will be harmonizing. From the Plaza, with a Delmonico-style restaurant and an outdoor buffeteris, visitors will enter the four main sections of Disneyland: Adventure Land, Frontier Land, Tomorrow Land and Fantasy Land. This thing is going to be big! Adventure Land is described as an explorer's paradise, rampant with tropical flowers, birds and fish. Pasengers will ride in an explorer's boat over five acres of tropical splendor to Mexico, Central America, Australia and Africa. In Frontier Land, visitors will see recaptured the spirit of the old American West, with Indians, Wells Fargo stages, a Painted Desert, and Paddle Wheel River boat accommodating 300 passengers, taking them over replicas of some of America's famous rivers, with actual place names along the banks. Mickey's Kingdom Fantasy Land will be the home of the famous Disney characters—Mickey, Donald, Pluto, et al. A Sleeping Beauty Castle and King Arthur Carousel, Snow White Ride, Alice in Wonderland Walk-Thru, Mr. Toad Ride-Thru, and the Peter Pan Ride-Thru. Disney estimates that only one out of five visitors will be children, the rest adults longing for an escape back to carefree childhood days. And, to all appearances and purposes, Mr. Disney is bent on providing that escape. It will be a wonderful place to take the family for a Sunday. Christmas Drama At Marywood Traditional Christmas drama was presented by students of Marywood high school on Sunday evening under the direction of Gwen Holly Simpson, drama instructor at the school. Entitled "The Legend of the Orb," the play took the closing of the Markan year as its theme. Narrators were the Misses Rita Flynn, Lois Marie Schweitzer and Mary Cain. The Madonna was portrayed by Miss Francine Murray. Others in the cast were Misses Valerie Bergs, Patricia Chaffee, Colleen Carroll, Diane Ferrandez, Jill Formolo, Kay Gillispie, Donna Hart, Sherl Hurwitz, Sue Harvey, Susan Hazard Ritsa Knobbe, Joanne Love, Suzette Mayo, Lucille Moore, Sallyann Reese, Beatrice White, Barbara May and Judy Reese. Scenic design was done by Charles Lawrence assisted by senior drama student, Miss Jewel Minor. The Marywood Choral club sang carols between the acts with Miss Yolanta Bargielski, soloist.

Over the nation, 47 traffic ths occurred in the 24-hour period. All four of the Anaheim accicits were due to carelessness and the preventable, Police Chief Stephenson said.

It will be an open meeting. The subject of odious text books is held over from the last stated meeting of the board, when C. O. Garshweiller, Anaheim certified public accountant, appeared before the board to register com­plaints about books being used in the high school curriculum. At that meeting, the board, comprised of Raymond Terry, president; Mrs. Foster Warwick, Rex Coons, Robert Cawthon and Al Holve, voted to table the sub­ject of text books until the meeting tonight (Dec. 16). Terry said in the meantime board members would examine books in question in an attempt to determine that they were in the "loyal American tradition." The school board president, in office since last July, also said entitled from reference books in the high school library. In the "Story of Nations," Garshweiller says, certain biblical treatises are loosely interpreted, while theories' of Karl Marx are preached outright. Garshweiller stressed the importance of vigilance on the part of parents pertaining to subjects taught in the schools, and sug­gested that citizens should go to the school library to investigate text books. His report at the Nov. 18 meeting is recorded and on file for those interested, he emphasized. Prepare Petitions Meanwhile, Anaheim citizens are preparing petitions for pres­sertation to the high school district board tonight with this preamble: "We, the undersigned, respect­fully petition the Anaheim High School Board of Trustees to con­tinue..." At that meeting, the board, comprised of Raymond Terry, president; Mrs. Foster Warwick, Rex Coons, Robert Cawthon and Al Holve, voted to table the subject of text books until the meeting tonight (Dec. 16). Terry said in the meantime board members would examine books in question in an attempt to determine that they were in the "loyal American tradition." The school board president, in office since last July, also said that Garshweiler, in registering protests about certain books in the high school library, was speaking for "a group of Anaheim citizens." Speaks for Self Mr. Garashweiller, in a telephone interview, stated that he was speaking for no "group of citizens," but for himself. He takes issue with the books "Story of Nations," and "Social Living," which he claims are being used as outright text books as differen't. FOOTBALL SEASON OVER; COLONISTS TURN ENERGIES TO KING BASKETBALL By JIM WEIGHT It's all over for this year. The equipment has been checked in, the bruises are healing; only the statistics and the pleasant memories of the thrills enjoyed by players and fans alike remain. Future "Colonist" football years will be compared to the 1954 season. The "54" footballers of Anaheim High completely dominated the Sunset League picture, as they captured the "Varsity," "Bee" and "Cee" class first place honors. What could be more complete? Awards Banquet Huge Success A more than capacity crowd of alumni, students, and "rooters" turned out Monday evening to pay tribute to the members of the three championship teams. There were speeches, food and the long sought "letters" for team members. And, as befits the members of a championship team, each team's players was awarded a miniature "gold" football. We'll read about such Senior players as Mickey Gouyd, Paul Grover, LeRoy Weaver, Art Conteras and all of the other graduating stars, next year when they are continuing their education and football at a higher institution. Basketball Underway Hearts of almost any high school coach. Any one of these players is capable of scoring in the double numbers on a given night. However, with this scoring punch it would be hard for this writer to pick the locals for the championship this year. At this time the Colonist just do not have the individual defensive ability to hold their opponents' scoring down. They will need to improve in this department to come out with a winning season. Opponents' Loaded Huntington Beach High will again be the favorites, with the Newport team not far behind. These teams will be the ones to beat. Also look for Fullerton and Santa Ana to upset one of the league favorites along the way. Remember though that win or lose, all of Anaheim will be rooting for the "blue and gold" team to defeat their opponents. L. A. Store Said to Be Coming Here It is rumored that one of the larger stores in Los Angeles has purchased land in West Anaheim and is planning to erect a fine building. The store is one of the "Ceremony of Carols" Scheduled for Sunday Evening at 1st Presbyterian "A Ceremony of Carols" will be presented next Sunday evening, Dec. 19, at the 7:00 o'clock Youth Service of the First Presbyterian church, 310 W. Broadway in Anaheim. The Triple Trio, a group of high school and college age girls known throughout Orange county for their outstanding musical accomplishments, will sing this modern work composed in 1942 by the English composer Benjamin Britten. It is a picturesque suite of pieces for treble voices moving in shades of rare and delicate beauty. The words, mostly Old English, are largely anonymous, and in Mr. Britten's unusual and characteristic melodic settings they seem to suggest the pungent simplicity of centuries-old festivity. Members of the Triple Trio are Kristin Anderson, Marion Carcausa, Carol Fitz, Yvonne Fitz, Diana Hollowell, Sandra Johannes, Phyllis Kirchman, Myrna Lewellen, Barbara Simonton, with James Pearson as accompanist. Mrs. George W. Sloop, Jr., Minister of Music at the church, directs the group. The service will open with an organ prelude by Mrs. William J. Talevich, organist. Rev. Jack Henshaw, assistant minister, will lead the opening devotional part of the service. The public is cordially invited to attend this Christmas Worship Service.
