OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.E.B. EIGHTY-FIVE Bank of America employees and their guests Saturday night made merry, ate good ham, and tripped the light fantastic at a surprise party for Mr. and Mrs. O. E. Hanson. Held at the bank, the occasion was celebration of Bank Manager Hanson's completion of 35 years' service to Bank of America in Anaheim. Their son, Lt. David Hanson, with his lady, of China Lake Naval Base, were special guests. Warren Bunge, Ronald Bossio, and Eli Quizano enacted a hilarious program. Bunge (the poor man's Milton Berle) proved to be particularly efficacious as a master of ceremonies. Very few of his jokes antedated the Great Flood. All of the entertainers were tellers. (I never could figure out why they are called tellers. They're always asking questions and telling you nothing.) Mr. Hanson was presented a solid gold set of cuff links with matching tie clasp, and a handsomely-wrought Malacca stick tipped with special chalk imported from the White Cliffs of Dover. Also singled out for special gifts were: Dick Gay, assistant manager. STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMEWORK goes up on the $1½ million addition to the front of Pacific Telephone building at 217 North Lemon in Anaheim, home of KE stone telephone equipment. Work on the addition "right on schedule," according to manager Herb Perrie Contractors Beyer and Abrahamson are erecting the two story and basement addition on the north side of the present building. Target date for completion has been set for All of the entertainers were tellers. (I never could figure out why they are called tellers. They're always asking questions and telling you nothing.) Mr. Hanson was presented a solid gold set of cuff links with matching tie clasp, and a handsomely-wrought Malacca stick tipped with special chalk imported from the White Cliffs of Dover. Also singled out for special gifts were: Dick Gay, assistant manager; Bill Klauson, the guy with ice water in his veins who makes real estate loans; Earnie Jahr, cashier; and Dean Polhemus, pro-cashier. It was not brought out whether or not there were any anti-cashiers on the payroll. In charge of the entire affair was Nell Robertson, who did an exemplary job. Mingling with these bank folk who have such an important job of handling our finances, I found them to be real jolly persons and intensely interested in their work, a real credit to the mammoth institution which they help stabilize. But they are a cagey lot. Not a darn one of them would give me the combination to the vault. One officer ventured the information that he could give me one-half of the combination, but that was all. The party broke down about midnight, and everyone went home happy. ANSWERING THE MAIL — The following letter is from a distinguished business man of Anaheim: "Judging from your closing remarks in your stint of June 2, you and R. C. Holles are not as far apart as you appear to think! This is just what he has been writing about for 5 years to my knowledge. "Far from wishing to (as you said, as far as I now recall) 'sack the whole public school system,' he advocates a lot of competition from privately owned competitive schools. The Catholics have these now and pay for the others they do not use. The Lutherans seem to have the same idea. What is the objection to competition in education? "The competent teachers would welcome it. The children and the harassed parents would gain immeasurably. If you will study education historically you may see that education by the State is STRUCTURAL STEEL FRAMEWORK goes up on the $1½ million addition to the front of Pacific Telephone building at 217 North Lemon in Anaheim, home of KEK stone telephone equipment. Work on the addition "right on schedule," according to manager Herb Perry. Contractors Beyer and Abrahamson are erecting the two story and basement addition on the north side of the present building. Target date for completion has been set for next February. Meanwhile, another two-story addition to the rear of the building is nearly finished. Judge Morrison Endorses Scout Camp Fund Drive Judge Kenneth E. Morrison, Orange county superior court judge, today advised Northern Orange countians to "get behind" the public campaign to raise funds for Camp Awahnee, Boy Scout camp being developed in the San Bernardino mountains. Calling upon his experience in hearing juvenile delinquency cases, Judge Morrison said it costs the taxpayers $167 to take care of a youngster at juvenile hall, and as high as $2700 a year to handle him elsewhere. "By comparison," he declared, "the costs of our Scouting program are nil." Many wayward youths, he believes, would never have become problems if communities and neighborhoods had shown more interest in them, or if they had been Boy Scouts. Ninety-three per cent of juvenile delinquents come from homes of divorced or separated parents, or the parents are too busy to give the child companionship and home training, Morrison said. If you don't take care of these children now, he warned, "they will take care of you later."

Newport Blvd, Costa Mesa. the judge commented "actually you can't choose your child's cranials." If a parent tries to kill his child away from "bad" children, the more determined he to play with them. Eventually "the whole gang is in trouble." We must provide more attention for children, the jurist Our homes are so highly specialized that there are few chores keep children busy. "There is nothing in the way you could better do than promote a camp for Boy Scouts," the stated. "We have to put our forts behind these good things, the good things won't stay us," he said. "The wholesome experience lad receives at the Scout camp will live with him and he'll maintain the standards of citizenship and self-reliance," said. "We must realize," the pointed out, "the youngsters today will be our saviours of morrow." Shriners Invite Visitors to Hospice Sunday, June 11 National Shriners' Hospital will be observed in Los Angeles and 16 other cities on Su June 12, when the thirty-fifth anniversary of these institutes for crippled children will be held.

For further information about the Home Economics department, call Esther Burdick at LE 9-1490. The finest education any child can have, regardless of tax-bracket, is a father or mother, or both, who are moral beings — moral as to all their words and acts — so that the child may see that when the dollar is on the table, Christianity does NOT fly out the window. "The Rudolf Steiner schools (also called Waldorf schools) have been in active operation for 35 years, there being over 60 of them in Europe, England and Scandinavia, and about 6 or 8 in the U.S." These are private schools, but no child is turned away because the parents cannot pay the full tuition fee. Taking Germany as an instance, their pupils pass the college entrance exams 2 years earlier than the national average for all schools. And, this is only one small aspect of the results." Cordially, J.M. Thanks for the letter; J.M. We are always glad to entertain visitors. Despite your contention, I stick to my belief that the public school setup as it is financed today results in more education for the broad-masses of the people than would a system of private, competitive (bargain rate) schools. Throw education on the open market and you probably would see such a sickening mess as the present use of silk polio vaccine debacle wherein some people have paid as much as $15 a "shot" for something which if administered through a federal agency would save Americans untold billions of dollars in future doctor bills. However, as regards public education, we not advocate a policy of letting its administrators and teachers write themselves a free ticket. When something irregular is noted in the system, it should be fairly criticized. Along the same line of reasoning, let us assume that intelligent, unbiased and nonpartisan citizens will行使 our system of government—however beneficent as compared to others—has its faults. But because of these faults, would you and R.C. substitute another system of government rather than correct the faults in the present set-up? Mr. Holles, early in his newspaper career, went out to make a Big issue upon which to harp in all his publications. He chose tax-supported education, knowing that it is a highly controversial subject, as is religion. This policy has paid off him in publicity all over the country. This has paid off richly in advertising contracts. Ten gets you 20 that if the public schools were advertisers, Mr. Holles attack upon them would be, shall we say, slightly watered down? 82 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY VOLUME LXXXIII ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA YMCA Requests Equipment For Camp Osceola Persons who have been able to help in other ways in the development of the YMCA Camp Osceola may be able to be of great assistance if they have around their homes equipment which is no longer greatly needed.

A. Daily, plant manager, announced today. The Anaheim unit of General Motors' Delco-Remy Division launched production operations one year ago, and production schedules have moved steadily upward during its first 12 months of operation, Daily pointed out. Present employment of the Delco Battery plant is approximately 300. Assembly operations were started on May 18, 1954, with the plant producing both six and 12-volt batteries. Coincident with the announcement of the production milestone in the Anaheim plant, Daily revealed that newly developed processes by Delco-Remy for the building of dry charge batteries will require the installation of considerable new equipment in the Anaheim plant in the weeks ahead. Revolutionary Process H. D. Dawson, Delco-Remy general manager, said in announcing the new development that "the new extra duty, dry charged Delco battery incorporates developments in engineering design and in manufacturing techniques which we feel are revolutionary in the battery industry." The new land. Batteries produced in Anaheim also supply wholesale and retail outlets of United Motors Service and GM car dealers through 11 western states. Daily pointed out that the Anaheim operation has been cited as one of the nation's "model plants" for the manufacture of automotive accessories, particularly batteries. Innovations in the Delco plant include a downdraft ventilating system to remove all fumes from the plant area and keep the atmosphere free of acid in any way.

"Sweet Thursday" by John Steinck was reviewed by Lucille Vanlee and 'Father of the Bride' was reviewed by Winifred Graham. Table Topics Chairman, Verna Jenbrooks, chose the theme along the same line when she asked members for their favorite author and why Frances Snell presented the Educational Program and Myllis Harrison was lexicologist who included in her lesson exercises and a drill on the forms and use of Nouns. Revolutionary Process H. D. Dawson, Delco-Remy general manager, said in announcing the new development that "the new extra duty, dry charged Delco battery incorporates developments in engineering design and in manufacturing techniques which we feel are revolutionary in the battery industry." The new dry charge batteries already are in production in the division's plant in Muncle, Ind. Dawson pointed out that the new batteries can be placed into service factory fresh without any type of "gooster charge" simply by adding Delco electrolyte (battery acid). Principal advantage to the car owner is that he will be able to get an absolutely fresh battery even though it may have set on a dealer's display rack for many months. Dawson congratulated employees of the Anaheim unit on "the outstanding success" with which the new plant has been placed in operation. "There are always some anxieties with placing a new manufacturing plant into operation, but certainly we have no misgivings about our selection of Anaheim as the location for our Delco Battery plant," Dawson said, adding that "we are very happy to be a part of the growth that southern California, and Anaheim in particular, is now enjoying." He indicated that schedules will continue to increase in the Anaheim plant. Supply Western States Batteries produced in Anaheim serve as original equipment for General Motors assembly plants at South Gate, Van Nuys and Oakland. Wayne Butterbaugh Due for Doctorate Wayne L. Butterbaugh, superintendent of the Savanna school district, will receive a doctorate in education on June 11 at the 72nd annual commencement of the University of Southern California.
