BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. AN IMPRESSIVE line-up of municipal automotive equipment bemused the citizenry last Friday morning when the city showed off its various trucks, cars, and other rolling stock necessary to keep a city of Anaheim's size functioning as a well-knit community. The vehicles, headed by the Fire Department, were lined up from the City Hall on Claudina south to Water St., and then some. This afforded a graphic opportunity for the Anahelmer to see where some of his tax money goes, for it takes a few dollars to keep some 400 pieces of city equipment in good repair and operable. There were those who said, after looking at this impressive array of vehicles, that the group fighting incorporation over in Garden Grove missed a bet by not bringing some of their incorporation-minded friends over here to look at the display. The reaction would have been: "Oh, not Would we have to pay for all that stuff?" I was tempted to ask one of the city officials how much it cost to maintain all this stuff, but then thought better of it. Why get run out of town? I don't know how much truth there was in it, but I overheard one observer state that the city tested the ruggedness and durability of its trucks by driving them down South Olive St. in the Eight Teachers To Join Staff of Anaheim Schools In making plans for increased enrollment in the 1955-56 school year, the Anaheim High School Board of Trustees have engaged eight new teachers. Teaching at Western Junior High school will be Diana Pilgrim, Mary Jan Mullins, Bernard M. Staffon and Harold E. Staffon. New to the staff of Fremont Junior High school will be Lawrence G.

Church Circles The reaction would have been: "Oh, not Would we have to pay for all that stuff?" I was tempted to ask one of the city officials how much it cost to maintain all this stuff, but then thought better of it. Why get run out of town? I don't know how much truth there was in it, but I overheard one observer state that the city tested the ruggedness and durability of its trucks by driving them down South Olive St. in the strip from Broadway to South St. WEDNESDAY'S torrid santana, while uncomfortable to most, was a blessing in disguise for this householder. Grass sprouted in our new lawn as a result of the unseasonable warmth. Incidentally, I hope the mayor of Santa Ana takes hote of the fact that I did not refer to the big breeze as a "Santa Ana wind". These periodic winds originate on the desert, not in Santa Ana. The biggest wind that emanates from that city originates in a newspaper office. THESE HOT days make one think of that almost-extinct American institution fondly referred to as "the ole swimmin' hole". The modern plunges are fine in a sense, and there is fun to be had at the beach. But the plunge is acidulated with chemicals, and the surf at the beach pounds you to pieces. We kids used to swim in a reeking duck pond on a farm about two miles from town — surrounded by willow trees and a rail fence to keep the hogs out. This was affectionately called "Whitlege's Pond." This was appropriate, for the man who owned the farm was named Whitlege, and more than once he ran us all out of the place. This was the gathering place for most of the boys in town on hot and sultry summer evenings. And anyone so unconventional as to show up in a bathing suit was immediately ostracized from the society. One of the most feared weapons in the hands of the parents in that town (Pop. 250) was the authority to withhold swimming privileges. But somehow, one seemed to enjoy the swim more when he knew it was forbidden. The bottom of this pond was composed of the slimest, stickiest mud you could imagine, and mud fights, featuring great gobs of the stuff in the face, were generally the order of the day. Offers Scenic Views of West Those popular "Scenic Views of the Colorful West" are back again. Beginning Tuesday, May 24, Standard Oil Company of California will begin free distribution of its latest series of all-color photos highlighting the beauty spots of the west. All told, some 27,000,000 copies of the scenics will be distributed by Standard and its subsidiary companies elsewhere in the United States and in Canada. Fifteen far western scenes will be available at Standard service station outlets in the Pacific area, another 17 views through dealers of subsidiaries. The photos, shot by some of the nation's top photographers, are entirely new, although similar in format to scenes from other years which now hang in thousands of western homes. Each is 9x12 inches, lithographed on a 11½x14 inch mat. Descriptive text on the back of each photo has been written by leading authors and historians of the west who are intimately familiar with the subject matter. Photography data is also provided. Distribution will be made on a regional basis with a different view of the series available in a given location each week during the 15-week travel campaign. AUHS Students Entertain O.E.S.
