BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.B.I. THAT AIR FORCE colonel who traveled 632 m.p.h. on a jet-propelled sled in New Mexico the other day said he suffered not more serious than two slightly blackened eyes, and that he saw red, yellow and green flashes swimming before his eyes. What's all the furse about? Shucks! a guy can get the same sensations in any normal day's driving through Los Angeles. SOMETIMES MATURE and educated adults can emit some rather peculiar statements. As a case in point, we give you a statement made by the Anaheim Union High school board of trustees last week contained in its officially adopted policy on the selection of text books. The statement, in Section 5 of the policy, is as follows: 5. The American heritage and our established traditions are not controversial. Please, ladies and gentlemen! Webster defines "controversial" as "subject to controversy." He defines "controversy" as: "act or instance of controverting; a cause or case of variance or contention; a difference; a discussion." OFFICIALS SEEK CAUSE OF CITRUS INDUSTRY FIRE Fullerton officials Tuesday were combing the worst fire in that city's (and possibly Orange county) history for clues to the cause of Monday morning's fire which dealt a devastating cessing industry. Fire Chief Lloyd Eckles, assisted by other city officials, inspected the ruins of the Eadington Packing Co., 130 W. Santa Fe Ave., but found little to go on, as the building had been reduced to a heap of charred debris. Fanned by winds measured at velocities over 60 m.p.h., the blaze consumed the Eadington plant, the American Fruit Growers Association plant, Golden Citrus, Inc., Cindy Lee of California, a dress manufacture, and Culligan Soft Water Service. A $600,000 warehouse of the Anaheim Cold Storage, at 144 W. Walnut, housing great quantities of tomato products and citrus concentrate, went up in flames. Total damage of the fire is variously estimated at from 1½ to 2 million dollars. Firemen from the State Forestry department and the cities of Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Anaheim, Laredon fire department, than 100 regular and firemen managed to co-blaze to a block bounded Fe Ave., Spadra Rd., Wand Highland Ave. The high winds, coupled with 48-degree temperatures and der-dry 15 per cent taxed the smokeaters to lest. Seriously threatened wildlifeidence along Santa Fe nearby Malden Ave., a time it was thought that couplants would have to be evacuated, but the fire was under control before succumbed. The Santa Fe tracks were died by the holocaust, buckled, and train service disrupted. Great 1954 Polio Upsurge Accents '55 Dimes Mar Great 1954 Polio Upsurge Accents ’55 Dimes March The polio attack rate in Orange County in the year just concluded was about 250 per cent higher than the national average, according to provisional reports. Nationwide, the number of cases reported in 1954 was the third highest on record. Orange County also had a high polio attack rate in the year 1952, when 198 polio cases were provisionally reported. This record was also higher, by 130 per cent, than the national average for that year. It is impossible to predict when and where polio epidemics will strike, which underlines the need for more effective control measures. Evaluation of the Salk vaccine administered to 440,000 U.S. children in the largest medical experiment of its kind ever conducted, is now in progress. Announcement of the vaccine's effectiveness will be made in the Spring of 1955. This year the March of Dimes must do a bigger job than ever before. It must raise $64,000,000 — because $9,000,000 is needed to purchase vaccine, $2,700,000 for scientific research, $2,900,000 for professional education, and at least $29,900,000 for patient aid, including hospitalization. The March of Dimes has expended $203,600,000 in patient aid since 1953. For science and humanity, give generously to the 1955 March of Dimes in January.

LONG BEACH MOUNTED POLICE AS THEY USED to say back home, up in the foot hills of the Great Smokies, this following item "sure takes the rag off n the bush." A local merchant went to a local bank the other day to get some checks cashed, but refused to accept ordinary old grimy green-backs. Wanted crisp new ones. "In MY store," he said with dignity, "we make change with brand new bills." Altogether, now: lets yawn. THAT FRIGID and howling wind Sunday night in addition to reducing the temperature of our house to what one would expect to find in a U.S. Army testing chamber for Arctic combat uniforms, rattled the windows, pelted the east side of the house with sticks and branches from a gnarled and ancient tree standing on the parkway, blew open the front door, and raised hob in general. All this made sleep after 3 a.m. well-nigh impossible for me, but with fortitude inherited from a grandfather who had been an underwater demolitions man at the Battle of Cold Harbor in 1873, I made the most of it. But what was really unnerving was a crash on the front porch which heralded the arrival of a bent and battered trash barrel with crude lettering on its side spelling out this mystic legend: "Property of John Spears, Cucamonga, Calif." EEEK CAUSE INSTRY FIRE y were combing the ashes of and possibly Orange county's) of Monday morning's disastrous blow to that city's citrus proton Beach, Anaheim, La Habra, and Buena Park assisted the Fullerton fire department. The more than 100 regular and volunteer firemen managed to contain the blaze to a block bounded by Santa Fe Ave., Spadra Rd., Walnut St., and Highland Ave. The high winds, coupled with 48-degree temperatures and a tinder-dry 15 per cent humidity, taxed the smokeaters to the fullest. Seriously threatened were residence along Santa Fe Ave. and nearby Malden Ave., and for a time it was thought that the occupants would have to be evacuated, but the fire was brought under control before such action was necessary. The Santa Fe tracks were straddled by the holocaust, rails were buckled, and train service was disrupted.

Ruby, resident Orange County Teacher-Council, with the notation that High School YMCA Members Write Legislation for Model State Assembly A representative group of men and women from the service clubs of Anaheim made up the personnel of a civic committee who acted as judges at a speak-off for high school YMCA members competing for the privilege of acting as senators and assemblymen at the Y's Model Legislature held in Sacramento each February. Seventeen young people from the Hi-Y clubs of the local YMCA have written bills to deal with problems which they feel should be corrected by state law. Bills range all the way from stiffer penalties for narcotic peddlers, to changing the qualifications for a notary public, and establishing comparative negligence in automobile accidents. The young people were rated on both delivery and content of their bills, and final decisions will determine which youth will make the trip to Sacramento in February. Service Club Representatives Representing the various service clubs were Ross Williams, Kiwanis; Elizabeth Newman, American Legion Auxiliary; Warren L. Schutz, Lions; Harwood Larson, Optimists; Tillie Real, Jaycettes; James Morris, Rotary; James Morgan and John Davis, American Legion; George Reed and Kenneth Lae.
