ABOUT TWO YEARS ago there was a mighty hassle down at the AUHS auditorium involving several factions around Anaheim, with the local American Legion post pre-eminent. The burning question of whether the program of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization should be included in the high school's curriculum was the main interest, although there was also a strong undercurrent of intrigue among certain petty pressure groups to smear Paul Demaree and if possible, to launch a foul campaign to get him tossed out of the school system entirely. "Get Demaree" was the muttered slogan of the holler-than thou's. Feeling ran high at the meeting, Pro-UNESCO, and anti-UNESCO citizens rallied at one another; one Anahelm publisher was called a liar in public; there was even a great din raised regarding religion when a Protestant speaker likened Cardinals Spellman and McIntyre with Hitler and Mussolini and an incensed Catholic came charging down the alley threatening to take the place YMCA Announces High School Club 'Kick-Off' Catholics Refused Convent Permit In Tustin Area The Sisters of St. Louis, a Roman Catholic order of nuns, Tuesday was denied permission by the county board of supervisors to erect a convent in the northeast Tustin area, a region of "exclusive" homes. With Chairman Willis Warner absent, the vote on the proposition was 4-0. The supervisors had continued the matter from last Tuesday, when they lacked a quorum due to the absence of Supervisor Heinz Kaiser. Father Richard Bradley, pastor of St. Anne's Catholic church in Santa Ana, was on hand to battle for the permit. Robert Howell, president of the Tustin Heights Assn., spoke for that organization which opposes the permit. Fr. Bradley said: "They want to keep Christ and his teachings out of Tustin." Also speaking for the Sisters was Attty, Arthur Bradley, no relation to the pastor. All Anaheim High School fellows and girls who are interested in being members of a "Y" club during this school year are invited to come to the Annual Kick Off which is scheduled for next Tuesday evening, Sept. 27, at the Anaheim YMCA building, from 6:30 9:00 p.m. Plans for the evening have been carefully made in cooperation with last year's members, according to Mrs. Nan Moore, Girls Work Secretary and Steve Holden, Boys Work Secretary. The early part of the evening will see initiation of the new playground area at the Y, with the basketball courts, the volleyball court, ping pong, and table games to provide an atmosphere of fellowship, and a time to get signed up for the club of your choice. Since Y memberships are due at the beginning of the school year, it is suggested that memberships be paid at this time. However a 35c guest fee will admit any youth who desires to join a club. New Activity A new activity this year will be offered for Senior students, in a co-ed club which will meet on alternate Tuesday evenings, and to which any senior student is eligible for membership, regardless of whether they are members of Hi- PAN-HELLENIC PLANS DANCE SATURDAY Northern Orange County Panhellenic society will hold its annual fall dance Saturday night at the Santa Ana Country club. Mrs. Calvin Hatch, general chairman for the event, estimates that nearly 250 couples from this area will attend. It will be a semi-formal affair, proceeds will go into scholarship funds for local girls. Mrs. Richard Lippi, president of the society, has announced that Panhellenic, due to its large present membership of 78, is to divide into two groups, junior and senior, to facilitate meetings. The society meets in private homes, and the present membership is too large. Next meeting of the two groups will be held on Oct. 10. Altrusa Club Plans for Fall Future ways and means projects came first in fall plans made by the Anaheim Altrusa Club. Committee chairmen outlined an ambitious program which called for participation in community and public affairs, a "dressa doll" project and a men's fashion show. The president, Edith Holsinger, said the Oct. 10 meeting will feature Cal Rogers and her around the world films. Local Girl Takes Honors at Redlands Gloria Taylor, AUHS graduate and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Taylor of 715 Westwood, has been enrolled at Redlands university "with honors." Entrance with honors at Redlands attests to the fact that the recipient excelled in scholastic Since Y members are due at the beginning of the school year, it is suggested that memberships be paid at this time. However a 35c guest fee will admit any youth who desires to join a club. New Activity A new activity this year will be offered for Senior students, in a co-ed club which will meet on alternate Tuesday evenings, and to which any senior student is eligible for membership, regardless of whether they are members of Hi-Y or Tri-Hi-Y. Senior Co-Ed Y will operate as a separate club, with its own officers and leaders, and the staggered meeting schedule will make it available to those who also want to be members of Hi-Y or Tri-Hi-Y. The Kick Off program will be broken in the middle with refreshments served at 8:00 p.m., following which square dancing in the Patio and social dancing in the building will be available for those who care to participate. All newcomers to the High school are cordially invited to be a part of the Anaheim YMCA program which includes sports, trips, camps, conferences, worship, service projects, and learning situations planned and executed by the members under mature Christian leadership. New clubs will be added to the 14 which were in operation last year, as newcomers to the school indicate a desire to be included. A warm welcome is extended to every high school student. Mormons Convene At Conference This Week End Local Mormons are reminded of the Orange County Stake Conference of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, to be held in the Santa Ana Chapel this coming week-end.

Charles St. Mrs. Lynn Bigler is NOW THAT WE have this cleared up, perhaps we can talk the Legion into going right ahead with its house-cleaning by publicly apologizing to the Girl Scouts of the State of Indiana for accusing them of publishing a communistic hand-book. It is regrettable to see a once powerful and influential veterans organization deteriorate into a band of self-appointed custodians of patriotism, holding a flag in one hand and a shotgun in the other, poking around under beds. JUST ABOUT the time when a fellow figure that he has seen everything there is to see, he gets tripped up short. The other day I turned east off Citron St. onto South St. and what did I see coming down the street toward me? Nothing much, except the old St. Michael's Episcopal church which was being moved to a new location. I trust that the neighbors weren't too much disturbed that evening by the sound of bottles being smashed out behind our garage. A science writer tells of a new airplane jet engine which will make a noise like 1,500,000,000 people all talking at once. He says no noise like this has ever been made before. It is evident that he has never attended a Democratic national convention. Local Girl Takes Honors at Redlands Gloria Taylor, AUHS graduate and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Taylor of 715 Westwood, has been enrolled at Redlands university "with honors." Entrance with honors at Redlands attests to the fact that the recipient excelled in scholastic achievements, qualities of citizenship, school activities, and high scores in college entrance examinations.

Articles collected by Red Shield trucks, are reconditioned in the Center's workshops, giving food, shelter and financial aid to men unable to find employment in private industry because of their handicaps. Brigadier Parkins pointed out that all receipts from sale of re-conditioned articles in Salvation Army Thrift Stores, above actual operating costs, are returned to the homeless and handicapped who seek aid. He said the Center also needs all kinds of other usable articles, including men's and women's clothing, furniture, shoes, dishes, mattresses, bedding, kitchen utensils, home appliances, silverware, stoves, radios, rugs and rags. Brigadier Parkins urged local residents to telephone KEystone 5-4631 to bring a Red Shield truck to collect discards. BRAND NAME TO BE STAMPTED ON SUNKIST LEMONS Sunkist Growers has announced that with the beginning of the new marketing season lemons shipped by the co-operative may have the brand name stamped on the fruit. According to Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of Sunkist, it has not previously been possible to trademark lemons although California and Arizona oranges and grapefruit have carried brand names ever since 1915. Now, Armstrong said, machinery has been developed which permits the trade name to be stamped on lemons without damaging the fruit. Machines for trademarking are currently being manufactured for Sunkist lemon packing houses in the two states. Trademarking of lemons has great significance to citrus growers; Armstrong pointed out. More and more fruits and vegetables are being prepackaged in pliofilm bags and various types of cartons. As these go on display in markets it is important that the brand name be readily recognizable to William J. Parkins, manager. Donations of out-of-use articles by local residents also will make possible a continued rehabilitation program for needy and handicapped persons at the Center.

A joint inspection of the crossing was made by representatives of the commission, the railroad and Orange county officials. The crossing is over a mainline where there is a single track and a passing track. Recommendations of the CPUC engineers have been sent to Orange county officials and the railroad. In addition to the automatic gates the Commission experts recommended that two communication line poles be moved to improve ingress and egress, that the south approach be widened to 24 feet and that improvement be made in the north approach. Present protection consists of a stop sign and two scotchlite fixed signs. Division of Costs When the county and the railroad agree upon the protective devices needed and upon a division of the costs, the county may apply to the commission for allocation of up to one-half of its share. The commission may allocate this amount from the Crossing Protection Fund of $500,000 created by the 1953 Legislature to aid cities and counties in improving protection at railroad-highway grade crossings.

Survey Shows Housing is Gobbling up Orange Groves The extent to which housing tracts have encroached on orange tree acreage in this county was recently brought out in an orchard census published in the latest Orange County Progress Report. The report shows that during the first six months of 1955, 1407 acres, or more than two square miles, of orange groves were sacrificed to the bulldozers and then filled with new homes. The report goes on to say that an additional 294 acres of oranges were cleared of trees and put to other agricultural uses. During the same period, however, 170 acres of new orange trees were planted. Of the total removed from orchard use subdivisions accounted for 1317 acres, highway building, 18.3; industry, 20.9; business, 13.2; flood control basin, 16.3; hospital expansion, 10.6; church building, 9.1, and amusements, 1.6.

Y-TEEN TOUR OF EUROPE CALLED GREAT SUCCESS Much local interest is evidenced in reports of the recent TeenY tour of Europe attended by a number of Anaheim folks this summer. The group left town on July 11 and arrived back home on Sept. 1. They went by way of Washington, D. C., and New York City, landed briefly in Ireland and then went on to Amsterdam, Holland. The tour continued through Belgium, Germany, Austria, Jugoslovia, Italy, Switzerland, France, England and Scotland. While in France, they attended the World Conference of YMCA Clubs Centennial in Paris. Its theme was "That they may all be one that the world may believe" which was taken from the Scripture of John 17:21. Nan Moore, organizer of the junket, called it an adventure in world peace, since it gave unique opportunity for friendship and exchange of ideas with youths of other countries.
