BLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) BY WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. Dear Sir: In reply to your request to send a check, I wish to inform you that the present shattered condition of my bank account makes it impossible to take your request seriously. The financial condition is due to federal laws, municipal laws, county laws, corporation laws, liquor laws, traffic laws, by-laws, in-laws, and outlaws. Through all these laws I am compelled to pay a city tax, school tax, county tax, business tax, income tax, gas tax, customs tax, excise tax, auto tax, road tax, luxury tax and syntax. In addition to these irritating taxes I am forced by the strong arm of the law to get a business license, a city license, a state license, a sign license, a dog license, a hunting license, a fishing license, automobile license, drivers license, not to mention marriage license. For my own protection I am compelled to carry life insurance, liability insurance, burglary insurance, property insurance, rent insurance, fire insurance, compensation insurance, rain insurance, and security insurance. The government has now so governed my business that it is no easy matter to find out who owns it. I am inspected, expected, introspected, suspected, examined, re-examined, cross-examine...in 'Y' Appoints New Secretary for Work with Boys Stephen Holden has been appointed Boys Work Secretary of the Anaheim YMCA according to John E. Bertch, general secretary of the local YMCA. Holden, whose appointment was made by the 'Y' personnel committee of which Paul Demarce is chairman, will assume his new duties Sept. 6. Holden will succeed Dwile Heggem who is Boys Work Secretary temporarily for the summer. Holden is a graduate of Whittier college, where he studied various YMCA courses. His major fields were physical education and science. Following graduation from Whittier college Holden taught in the elementary school system of Fullerton and the past year has taught at Fremont junior high school. Holden has been a life-long resident of Anaheim, and is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Holden. He lives with his wife, Betty, and their small daughter at 226 Narda. The YMCA program has been rapidly expanding in recent years and it has become necessary to add a person to the staff who can spend 100 per cent of his time in the boys work field, according to Bertch. Heretofore the boys program has been organized and administered. Orange County Notorious For Bloody Traffic Records Orange County lists one of the bloodiest traffic records in Southern California, as released figure show the county to have a 66 percent increase in the death rate compared to a 10 per cent increase for 13 other counties over last yean totals. Figures released for the first six months of the year as compared with 1954, show that 82 persons have died as a result of traffic accidents in Southern California this year. Los Angeles County accounts for the larger percentage of the deaths with 406 compared to 37 in 1954, according to the Automobile Club of Southern California. Orange county was listed by the automobile club as having deaths thus far in 1955 as compared to 37 for last year. Register figures counting city and rural traffic deaths show that Orange county has 73 thus far in 1955 compared to 44 for the same period last year. Next largest death figure for Southern California was registered for San Bernardino county when 112 persons have died on the highways this year compared to 1 such deaths in 1954. Imperial, Kern, Inyo and Tulare counties showed fewer fatalities in comparison between the two periods. Imperial had 14 fatalities this year against 24 for the first half of 1954. Kern has 68 deaths while 82 recorded for last year. Imperial has a 4-10 record, and Tulare has 26 for 1955 and 29 for 1954. For my own protection I am compelled to carry life insurance, liability insurance, burglary insurance, property insurance, rent insurance, fire insurance, compensation insurance, rain insurance, and security insurance. The government has now so governed my business that it is no easy matter to find out who owns it. I am inspected, expected, introspected, suspected, examined, re-examined, cross-examined, informed, required, summoned, fined, commanded and compelled, and even jailed, until all I know is that I am supposed to provide an inexhaustible supply of money for every fund. I am cussed, discussed, boycotted, talked to, talked about, lied to, lied about, held up, held down, and robbed until I am nearly ruined. In order that I might live through all the things you've just read, I must have enough money left over for rent, groceries, clothes, shoes, car, gasoline, tires, lights, gas, water, oil, furniture. Among those who want some of what I earn are laundrymen, millkmen, icemen, policemen, and firemen. Doctors, lawyers, dentists, barbers... but I guess I'll stop as this would bring me to the other half of my salary which my wife takes and spends either at the beauty shop getting permanents, finger waves, manicures, marcels, shampoos hair-cuts, mud packs, Turkish baths, or buying shoes dresses, hats, stockings, etc. And then there is the service station which takes care of my car, but to go into this would be too much. I can tell you honestly that—barring a miracle—you won't be paid just now, and the only reason I am holding on to life is simply to see what the heck is coming up next. Yours regretfully, ANONYMOUS NEXT WEEK the writer will be on vacation up in the north part of the state, riding to hounds across the Tuolumne Meadows.

PITY THE sad plight of the communist organizer who, so the story goes, wrote this complaint to his superior: "It is becoming increasingly difficult to reach the down-trodden masses in America. In the spring they're forever polishing their new cars. In the summer they take vacation. In the fall they go to the World Series and football games. In the winter you can't get them away from their TV sets. Please give me suggestions on how to let these people know how oppressed they are." New Real Estate Office Opens Here Oliver V.

He said Pacific is now preparing an application for increased extended service. The application is expected to be filed with the California Public Utilities Commission within a few weeks.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... August 1880 will be complete in about a month, and the company will then be prepared to ship grain to the best IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago... August 1880 The Chinese vegetable peddlers and laundrymen in Los Angeles pay licenses which amount in the aggregate to between four and five hundred dollars per month. But they are in revolt and refuse to pay further license, on the ground that they are producers and therefore can not be made to pay license, and further, that the Legislature enacted a law declaring that allens ineligible to become citizens cannot take out a license. The matter will be taken into the courts. Official returns give the population of the City of Los Angeles at 11,183 including 604 Chinese. Population of the county 33,392, including 1155 Chinese. The increase in population in the city over that of 1870 is 48.97 hundredths per cent and in the county 54.15 hundredths per cent making a percentage of 5.17 hundredths in favor of the county. The Steamship Company's new wharf at Timm's Point, San Pedro harbor, is completed, and the steamer Newport landed a cargo of material there last week for the warehouses. These warehouses will be complete in about a month, and the company will then be prepared to ship grain to the best advantage. At the request of many persons in the Episcopal church here, Bishop Kip has appointed Rev. Mr. Emery, rector, which position he has accepted temporarily. Mr. Emery's ability as a sermonizer and as a literary man, is rapidly gaining him notoriously. He has already received calls elsewhere and Anaheim may congratulate herself that she has succeeded in securing the ministerial services of such a promising pastor. Mr. D. J. Sorenson has been appointed deputy Town Marshal by Marshal Dick Barham. The semi-annual statement of the Bank of Anaheim is published this morning.
