DISNEYLAND TO HIRE LOCALLY Residents of Orange county will be given first consideration for positions at Disneyland, it was revealed this week by the Park's personnel department. A spokesman for Disneyland stated that this employment policy has been established both to offer new job opportunities to local residents and also to utilize the "high quality, skilled personnel available in Orange county." It was emphasized that Disneyland would not hire personnel by "raiding" or "pirating" employees from other employers in the county. Interviewing for approximately 500 positions is expected to start about May 1st. Prior to the opening of Disneyland, a training program for new employees will be established. KITES CAN KILL, OFFICIALS WARN It doesn't take a calendar to tell that March is here. Boys from six to sixty are getting the kite flying fever, and the skies are dotted with kites of all sizes and shapes. In noting the approach of the kite flying season, R. E. Bacon, Southern California Edison Company district manager, said today that kite flying, like every sport, can best be enjoyed by following a few sensible rules. "One of the most important rules to remember," Mr. Bacon said, "is never to use metal of any kind in the frame of the kite or any type of wire or tinsel string. It is also well to remember that kites should be flown in an open field away from power lines and other obstructions." LEO CARRILLO Invitations are out to civic officials and newspapermen of Orange County to attend the second annual Press Breakfast of the Santa Ana Moose Lodge. The civic fair will be held at 10 a.m., Sunday, April 3 in the Moose Hall 225½ North Broadway, Santa Ana. In the glove compartment, under a pile of jetsam including a frayed road map of Siskiyou county, smudged statements from numerous Anaheim service stations for repair bills long due, a 1946 Readers Digest, a Coke bottle, some pine cones gotten on a trip to the redwood country some years past, and a political pamphlet titled "Why Truman?" I found a screwdriver. Taking this to the front of my car, I raised the hood. You always do this when the engine won't function. Then you lean over and stare at the engine, poking here and there at things, really not knowing why. You've got to maintain your dignity even if the wife inspects a loose fender brace and asks if that could possibly be the trouble. And then there is always the neighborhood urchin who will happen along and ask "anything wrong with the car, Mister?" Funny thing about an autoengine. Except for the fan, it looks the same when it is running as when it is not. Best thing to do, especially when there is an audience, is to keep huddled under the hood making a pretense at doing something. Smoke a cigarette. Trim your fingernails. Take out your pocket knife (if you have one) and whittle some tooth picks out of farmer's match. Fact is, while awaiting arrival on the tow truck, here is an excellent opportunity to catch up on some back issues of Readers Digest. But DON'T TINKER WITH THE ENGINE. I tinkered with mine, got a jolt of electricity or something from the battery which nearly un-limbed me, and I finally turned the whole mess over to Bill Bartlett down at the Nash-can agency. For which I am happier, and now have an automobile which runs like a scared gazelle during the open season. This "do-it-yourself" mania comes to a screeching halt when it comes to automobiles! There is only one thing more exasperating than an automobile that won't start— That is one that won't stop. NOTICE: Two-headed man wants to get in contact with another two-headed man.

"One of the most important rules to remember," Mr. Bacon said, "is never to use metal of any kind in the frame of the kite or any type of wire or tinsel string. It is also well to remember that kites should be flown in an open field away from power lines and other obstructions and should never be flown in a rain storm. "No kite is worth a bad fall," Mr. Bacon continued. "If your kite becomes entangled in lines, television antennas or trees, don't risk serious injury in attempting to retrieve the kite." "By observing these few safety rules, kite flying will continue to be a safe, healthful and enjoyable pastime and many needless accidents will be avoided." Seventh Annual Military Ball at H. S.

It is touch-and-go, and we don't know yet what he's got. He hasn't broken out as yet. We have him under close guard. Dr. Robert A. Curtis of the Johnston-Gendel Clinic is in charge. Doc Curtis is a pediatrician, but aside from that seems to be a pretty nice guy. I was favorably impressed by his bedside manner as he examined our mewling progeny. "Your son has a striking personality," Doc observed, just after the boy struck him in the solar plexis with a well-almed kick. Doctors, I suppose, are necessary. But I wish they would learn how to write. Did you ever look at one of their prescriptions? The doc wrote out a prescription which (to me) read: "Pfloop. 2 cg. Smorfles at 8. Bridge out." When I presented this slip to the pharmacist, he looked at it, scratched his pate, reached behind him without looking, plucked a bottle of emulsion off the shelf, took a swig, smiled, and handed it to me with the information that "that will be $5.87." I paid. And nobody smiled. FROM FILES of the Gazette 75 years ago we note that work on the improvement of South Olive street began in February, 1880. Reckon they'll get it finished one of these days?

Trips to Hawaii For 3 Members Of Farm Bureau Three round-trip tickets to Hawaii are to be awarded to top membership workers of the Orange County Farm Bureau at a general membership meeting of the organization next Tuesday evening at its county offices, 1916 W.

In addition there will be music by the Women's Barbership Chorus, led by Whit Cromwell of Yorba Linda; plus other membership awards, a speaker, and a beauty contest open only to men dressed in women's attire. Coming from Berkeley to pre-emptive effort, Sen. Harry F. Bird of Virginia, leading advocate of federal economy, has just introduced a bill that would embody many features of the fiscal system in effect in California and which Kuchel played a part in perfecting while serving as State Controller and in the State legislature. Kuchel called for enactment of the "single appropriation bill," which he co-sponsored with more than 40 colleagues, as a means of recapturing unexpended balances of prior appropriations and placing more responsibility on every member of Congress for federal spending. The bill would require Congress to re-appropriate any money previously voted that had not been used at the end of each fiscal year and would embody every grant of funds from the national treasury in a single piece of legislation.

An account of the talk given on Monday at the Ambassador Hotel by Richard Nixon, was given by Mrs. Alden and Mrs. Ferrell who attended the luncheon for members of the Republican Central committee and guests. Need for additional school bonds was stressed by Raymond Terry, school board member. Wistaria Festival Attracting Many This procedure would show much more clearly how much money the federal government spends and where it goes, Kuchel declared. "Once Congress appropriates money, the general rule here in Washington is that that money remains available for spending all the rest of the time," Kuchel explained. "We have a different situation in California." In California, under our Constitution, moneys are made available to each state agency for the ensuing 12-month period and no more. And then the agency must return to the State legislature and receive new approval to spend in the future. "Because of the situation in the Federal Government, where there is no time limit at all on spending, the astounding fact is that Federal agencies today can spend 82 billions of dollars of money any time they want to without any action on the part of the present Congress or any succeeding Congress whatsoever. That is a graphic illustration of the looseness in fiscal policy. It is one reason why we do not have a budget in balance." 75th ANNIVERSARY OF NAVEL ORANGE INDUSTRY OBSERVED AT RIVERSIDE Consumer demand is the foundation and strength California's citrus industry, Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of Sunkist Growers; told an overflow meeting of t 75th Anniversary of the birth of the naval orange industry. The Rotary Club luncheon followed a meeting of the Sunkist Board of Directors at the Mission Inn at Riverside—a meeting moved from its regular place of assembly in the Sunkist building in Los Angeles as a salute to the navel orange celebration and to its president, Harvey A. Lynn, for whom a banquet of honor was scheduled. Motorists Abusing Emergency Phone, Says Highway Patrol Motorists using the California Highway Patrol's emergency telephone—ZEnith 1-2000 are reporting troubles that ran from the discovery of dead duo marital spats.

Grounds of the world famous vine, readily acknowledged as a histicultural wonder, today were opened to the public for the 1955 blossoming season by the Sierra Madre Chamber of Commerce, sponsor of the 41st annual Wistaria Festival. Thousands of visitors again are expected to visit the monstrous trellis-hung plant which covers more than an acre and which will produce more than one million blossoms this year. YMCA Plans Two Fund-Raising Meals Two fund-raising meals will be sponsored next week by YMCA groups and served at the Y. Camps and conferences funds will benefit.

The Rotary Club luncheon followed a meeting of the Sunkist Board of Directors at the Mission Inn at Riverside—a meeting moved from its regular place of assembly in the Sunkist building in Los Angeles as a salute to the navel orange celebration and to its president, Harvey A. Lynn, for whom a banquet of honor was scheduled. Armstrong noted that the heavy consumer demand for citrus had resulted in the doubling of production in each ten years for the past four decades. He pointed out that purchases of citrus in all forms now constitute one-half of all fruit sold at retail. This speaks well for the present and future of western citrus industry, he said. Tells History of Orange The citrus leader traced the origin of the orange and told of some of the mythology and the course of migration of the fruit. The navel orange originated as a mutation near Bahia, Brazil, about 1820. Two of these trees were received in Riverside in 1873. From these two parent trees all of the navel orange trees in California, of which there are more than 100,000 acres, are directly descendent. Armstrong pointed out that Riverside was the birthplace of cooperatives within the citrus industry. The first president of the Southern California Fruit Exchange was from Riverside, as is the current leader of Sunkist Growers. Citrus has for many years been the leading food crop of California, Armstrong said, and although acreage devoted to citrus has declined somewhat in recent years the remaining acres still in production are becoming more valuable. Motorists Abusing Emergency Phone, Says Highway Patrol Motorists using the California Highway Patrol's emergency phone number—ZEnith 1-2000 are reporting troubles that ran from the discovery of dead dogs to marital spats. But the Patrol, through Commissioner B. R. Caldwell, said this week that it considers real emergencies such things as bad accidents, damage or obstructions, highways and fires along roads. This kind should be reported on ZEnith 1-2000. The special telephone number was set up recently to speed up reporting of accidents and other emergencies on the highways. Motorists anywhere in the State unincorporated areas are urged by the Patrol to ask the operator for that number to report anything which spells emergencies. Persons calling ZEnith 1-2000 are connected directly to one of the Patrol's emergency radio patch stations established to handle emergencies. There is no distance charge to the caller even though the dispatch center may many miles away. Magnolia School Kite Contest Cub Scout Pack 116 will hold its annual kite contest on Sunday, March 27, at Magnolia School Prizes will be awarded the original, comical, beautiful, lest as well as the highest lowest flying kites.

A huge week-end crowd of 134-462 jammed the Motorama during its final two days, bringing average daily attendance to 52,587. Show officials said enthusiasm and interest in GM "dream cars" and production models hit new peaks among this year's Motorama visitors. Commenting on the enthusiastic response to the Motorama displayed in Los Angeles, which is the nation's leading automotive market, Harlow H. Curtice, General Motors President, said: "The strong interest in our 1955 products displayed by Motorama visitors in Los Angeles is an indication of the market that awaits a manufacturer who offers outstanding values. It further reinforces my conviction that our economy will reach a new peak in 1955 and that this may well be the biggest passenger car year in history."
