OBLONG VIEWS
(From an Epp Shaped Head)
BY WALDO HUNTER, P.B.E.
WE SEE by the newspapers that Gov. Knight has signed into law a bill to combat that peculiar breed of Southern Californian appropriately named "litterbug."
Under the new law, all peace officers can arrest persons caught dumping trash along the roadside. Heretofore, only Highway Patrolmen were authorized to enforce the law.
Whoever caused this law to be put through should be commended publicly. It is given that there is absolutely no pleasure or relaxation to be derived from fighting the freeway and secondary highway traffic these days, at least around here.
To enjoy that traditional Sunday afternoon drive now, one must seek the country roads where he is free of the clashing gears, the squawling horns, the swerving lane-to-lane maniacs, the vile tempers of distraught speed-hounds, the scowling of harried motorcycle officers, the incessant hurry... hurry... hurry.
After a week-end trip of say 150 miles nowadays, one arrives at his destination sitting like there was a war, that there was only one shell used, and that he got hit with it.
But where is there any pleasure in driving down once-beautiful country lanes now littered on either side with garbage, old boxes, limitless liquor bottles and beer cans, junk, and so forth?
ANAHEIM BRANCH. CALIFORNIA BANK, TO OPEN DOORS APRIL 29
Guard Unit Stands By For Alert
Company B. 161st Armored Infantry Battalion, of the California National Guard, will play an important part in the nation-wide one-day test alert of Army and Air National Guard units to be held sometime this Spring.
The alert will be known as "Cooperation Minuteman," according to Captain Ralph E. Comstock, commanding the Anaheim unit. All units of the California National Guard will participate in the alert, first of its kind ever held in the United States.
Training Purposes
Captain Comstock cautioned citizens of this area that "Operation Minuteman" is being planned only for training purposes, and to test the mobilization plans of all Army and Air National Guard units throughout the state and nation.
"For that reason," he said, "we ask the people of Anaheim not to be alarmed when this test alert is sounded and our National Guard unit is temporarily mobilized."
Comstock emphasized that the Anaheim Office of California Bank will open for business Friday morning, April 29, in the California Bank building at Center and Claudina Sts., formerly occupied by the Anaheim branch of Bank of America.
The new office will occupy completely remodeled quarters on the first floor and mezzanine of the six-story building. Remodeling has been in progress the past six weeks including the installation of an acoustical tile ceiling, fluorescent lighting, and modern fixtures of light oak and marble.
The facilities of a large metropolitan bank will be available to customers at the new Anaheim office, including safe deposit, escrow, real estate and installment lending services. It was announced. The new bank will remain open from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. on opening day, April 29.
Navel Orange Mart Active and Higher During Easter Week
The California navel orange market was active and higher during the week ending April 9, stimulated by improved weather conditions and pre-Easter demand. Sunkist Growers' sales were slightly ahead of those of the previous week, totaling around 825 cars and average prices on fruit sold in interstate markets moved up some 20c to the level of $4.80.
After a week-end trip of say 150 miles nowadays one arrives at his destination running like there was a war that there was only one shell used, and that he got hit with it.
But where is there any pleasure in driving down once-beautiful country lanes now littered on either side with garbage, old boxes, limitless—liquor bottles and beer cans, junk, and so forth?
I don't speak of the stuff casually thrown out of moving automobiles, although that is bad enough. But there are people who deliberately load up their trash and drive a mile or two from their homes to deposit the debris along the roads which bisect our orange groves. And they do it regularly.
About three years ago, the county said it cost $50,000 a year of taxpayers' money to clean up alongside the county's roads. It's probably more like $75,000 now.
All due to the lack of common decency of some people.
Anyway, under the new law, there will be a $50 fine for the first offense, and a $100 fine or 10 days in jail for the second offense. Upon the third offense, the case will be treated as a regular misdemeanor, subject to heavier penalty.
I don't know what kind of states these litterbugs come from, but I wish they would go back.
We have the most beautiful state in the union; yet we despoil it with trash along the scenic highways and byways (and those garish billboards are offensive, too) and every summer we do our best to flip cigarettes around to destroy watersheds and forests.
But, as I said before, man spoils everything he touches.
CONGRATULATIONS of some sort are in order for Pedro Ortiz, of 423 South Helena St. Pedro, a young feller of 105, recently received a gold-lettered birthday card signed by none other than President Dwight D. Eisenhower, himself. Pedro celebrated his 105th birthday April 2.
WE HAVE HEARD little else on the newscasts these past few days but sensational claims about the efficacy of the Salk polio vaccine.
It is to be hoped that announcements of its potency are not premature. Of late years, we Americans have been prone to get wild-speed-hounds, the snowing of harried motorcycle officers, the incessant hurry...hurry.

Orders from Pentagon
The co-ordination order will come directly from Major Edgar C. Erickson, Chief of the National Guard Bureau, with headquarters at the Pentagon, Washington D. C. From the adjutant general, it will be passed down to all Army and Air Force National Guard units in this state.
Nearly 400,000 Guardsmen, including officers and men of Anaheim unit, in more than 2,200 other communities will participate.

Mrs. Fred Beckham Named President Of Edison P-TA

Active and Higher During Easter Week
The California navel orange market was active and higher during the week ending April 9; stimulated by improved weather conditions and pre-Easter demand. Sunkist Growers' sales were slightly ahead of those of the previous week; totaling around 825 cars and average prices on fruit sold in interstate markets moved up some 20c to the level of $4.80 box f.o.b.
Step Up Movement
The Navel Orange Administrative committee increased the current week's movement of 800 cars of Southern California navels to a total of 850 cars and set the price for the week ending April 1 at 900 cars from Southern California with open movement from Central California which will add some 100 cars to the total volume going forward this week.
Initial shipments of valencioranges from Central California will go forward next week; the Valencia Orange Administrative Committee allocating 36 cars that variety to applicants with early maturing fruit.
Dry Season Here; Watch Fire Hazards
With the warm days drying much of the roadside vegetation the fire hazard is increasing; said the Automobile Club of Southern California. Thus; motorists are reminded to use their ash trays; cigarette butts; burning pipes; matches rather than put them out.
WE HAVE HEARD little else on the newscasts these past few days but sensational claims about the efficacy of the Salk polio vaccine.
It is to be hoped that announcements of its potency are not premature. Of late years, we Americans have been prone to get wildly enthusiastic about any new "wonder drug" or medical preparation which is advertised to the high heavens as the final answer to old devil microbe.
Take penicillin, for instance. Hailed mightily when first discovered, it is now admitted that it is not all that it was originally cracked up to be. Take a dose of it once, and subsequent injections will do you very little good, due to an immunity factor built up in your blood.
Then, there was that wonderful preparation called "DDT" which was to rid the world of the common house fly. What did it do? It killed off the weaker flies and produced a strain of hardier, more formidable, and harder-to-kill pests.
It is to be hoped that the Salk vaccine doesn't backfire. Whether it does or not, there is one sure outcome: A lot of pharmaceutical houses will wax plenty fat.
A member of the Ensenada, B. Calif. Chamber of Commerce told me in 1949 that up to that time there had not been a single case of pollo in Lower California. The reason, he said, was that sanitary conditions were so deplorable in the country that infants were exposed to just about every disease in the books during infancy, thereby building up immunity early in life.
For better health, let's all go out and get dirty.
