OBLONG VIEWS by JOAN S. WHITE I WAS CONFOUNDED the other day to read that President Eisenhower (the poor man's Ben Hogan) is asking Congress for 101 billion (billion, not million) dollars for construction of roads. Gadzooks! Zounds! Mercy Me! Lands O' Goshen! Lordy! Gad! I thought the Democrats were the record-breakers for expenditures. If Roosevelt or Truman had announced such a plan the Republicans would have marched on Washington and, sacked the capitol. They were called socialists (and worse) when they asked for a few paltry millions to aid in slum clearance and such stuff. I would advise caution in this road-building promise. My Aunt Rachel, who lives back in Pontoosuc, Illinois, was promised a new road in front of her place if she voted for a certain township commissioner. That was 25 years ago. The road was never fixed, and during the spring thaws each year even the mailman can't get to her farm. They shoot mail to her place from a neighboring township by rocket. However, if adoption of this $101,000,000,000 project would help get something done for S. Olive St. Anaheim, I suppose it's all right. Baby pictures furnished hilarious entertainment at the "Come As You Are" party held last night at Wesley Hall by the High School MYF of White Temple Methodist church. The Fidelis Class of White Temple Methodist church will hold a potluck lunchcon at noon today in the new Fellowship hall. It's a boy for Mr. and Mrs. John R. Frick of 900 N.

He was born in St. Joseph hospital on Feb. 16. Sharon Bergeson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Bergeson of 328 N.

Friday, city administrator and assistant, are expected to return home tomorrow night, Feb. 25, from Santa Rosa where they have ministry hospital and weighed lbs., 10 ounces. Jerome Womac of 237 S. A.

Mrs. Wayne Held is chairm of the public turkey dinner to hold tonight, Feb. 24, by the A heim Ikettes in the La Palm Youth Center. Proceeds will finance the group's conservatism program. Local YLI members enjoyed dinner meeting at Athy's restrant on Monday evening, Feb. The missionary Societies AT LONG LAST we can report something tangible about that hapless motorist who drove his auto into a pot-hole out on S. Olive street three weeks ago. For a short time last week he was in communication with the outside world by means of a speaking tube, but it became clogged up with Bermuda grass, and the only thing we could hear was something which sounded like "gmth fig phyp?" But later, he displayed unusual initiative by beeping Morse code signals on his automobile horn, which our assistant operative took down on a scratch pad as follows: "WHY DOES... NOT... THE CITY OF ANAHEIM... FIX THIS XZBYFG STREET?" We have an expert decoder working on the peculiar "XZBY-FG" part of the disjointed message and in the meantime are considering writing a letter to the president of the Southern Pacific railroad, whose rusty strips of steel divide that street, to pitch a penny or two into a fund to buy the guy a hamburger which we shall, with appropriate ceremony (and with the added touch of a speech from Charley Pearson) pitch into the canyon to sustain our unfortunate friend. We may never hear the last of him (unless his battery runs down). "The HAND that lifts the cup that cheers should never be used to shift the gears." This is a little blurb put out by temperance people to discourage drinking while driving, and it is good. Special Program Monday to Mark Rotarian Milestone As Rotarians mark their 50th year of organization this week, notation has been made that records of perfect attendance have been maintained by Mel A. Gauer for 29 years. The Anaheim club celebrate its anniversary at the regular noon meeting on Monday, Feb. 28, when Rotary Anns and city officials will be guests for a special program. The local club is the second oldest in Orange county, having received its charter on May 1, 1921. Membership now stands at 68, according to Claude M. Owens, presiding among the 12 Orange County business students participating in a style show and retailing display at Santa Ana College on March 2.

When the Anaheim Jaycettes met at the home of Mrs. Warren Hollingsworth, Paul Demaree, superintendent of Anaheim High school district, discussed the election to be held on April 5. He explained the problems of the elementary and high schools and the need for a 75 cent tax hike and the three million dollar proposed bond election. Among the newcomers to Anaheim is a baby daughter born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reese, 920 Kenmore St., on Feb. 19. The infant was born in Santa Ana Com- "THE HAND that lifts the cup that cheers should never be used to shift the gears." This is a little blurb put out by temperance people to discourage drinking while driving, and it is good. But there should be a slight revision. They should bring it up to date. This is the age of automatic transmissions. Whoever saw a guy raise a foaming tankard to his lips with his foot? THE GAZETTE is in receipt of a copy of "Aboard A Flying Saucer", by Truman Bethurum, a resident of Redondo Beach. On the jacket is the legend: "Non-Fiction—A True Account of Factual Experience." Mr. Bethurum tells of looking for sea shells at Mormon Mesa, Nevada, and instead of finding shells he claims he ran across a "flying saucer" loaded with odd little men and captained by a beautiful woman named Aura Rhanes, who spoke impeccable English. The whole outfit, according to the author, came to Earth from the planet Clarion, away out there somewhere and not known by our astronomers. There will never be another book like this. At least we can hope there won't be. It is crudely written, made up out of whole cloth for sale to the guilts. You could spend 25 cents at any news stand and get much better stories of fantastic fiction. This book sells for three dollars. Better you should spend your three bucks on a nag at Santa Anita. Even if you lose, it will be more fun than reading this book. Janet Kerridge, Hugo Buchelt Married Friday Miss Janet Kerridge of Fullerton and Hugo Paul Buchelt, Jr., were married in St. John's Lutheran church of Orange on Friday, Feb. 18, with the Rev. John Schumacher officiating. The bride, daughter of Comdr. and Mrs. P. M. Kerridge, designed her own bridal gown and those of her attendants.

Kuchel has been named member of three Senate Public Works subcommittees which will handle legislation of major concern to California. Kuchel was assigned by Chairman Dennis Chavez of New Mexico, to serve on the subcommittees on roads, flood control, and public buildings and grounds. “This Congress will have before it a variety of proposals that will be studied and put in shape by these subcommittees,” Kuchel said following the appointments. “My assignments will enable me to work for the interests of my state, which will be directly affected by their decisions and actions. “I am particularly gratified to have an opportunity to take part in framing legislation President Eisenhower shortly will propose to launch the long-overdue program of highway construction. California, with its steadily growing population and vast area, which attracts limmense numbers of tourists and visitors, is especially concerned about the way traffic congestion and highway safety problems are tackled. As a member of the Public Roads Subcommittee, I shall work vigorously to see that a law is enacted thru which the Federal Government, states, and communities can attack the neglected highway situation. “It also is pleasing to be in a position to follow up closely the conduct of our government’s flood control and public building programs. Both of these have a definite bearing on the welfare of California and the continued growth of large and small communities throughout the state.” 50-Year Members Awarded Pins by Rebekah Lodge Pins denoting 50 years of membership in Rebekah Lodge were awarded last week to Mrs. Maddie Gates, Mrs. Minnie Howard, Mrs. Olga Beebee and Miss Dorothy Blatt.

Service Pay Increase Noted Pay scales for enlisted men in all branches of the armed services must be raised in order to make duty in the defense forces “a high and honorable profession,” Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California stated this week. The California Senator, saying people in his state are concerned about the low re-enlistment rate troubling military authorities, announced “I want very much to work in favor of legislation which will make military service, particularly in peacetime, a high and honorable profession. I want to see men compensated adequately for their life-time career in the military service, no matter what branch it may be.” Kuchel pointed out that Air Force leaders are worried over the failure of more than 15 per cent of personnel to sign up for further periods of duty when their representatives of YMCA, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Boy and Girl Scouts and recreation department Mrs. Robert Quast, Horace McCain chairman of youth activities and recreation, was co-ordinator.
