CITY PLANNING TO COUNT NOSES The City of Anaheim has made a down payment of $1700 to the federal government for a city interim census which will get under way here about the first of the year provided the City of Los Angeles hasn't filed for a similar census at the same time. In that case, the Anaheim census would be delayed several months. It is estimated that the city's population is about 36,000. Federal government's fee for a census of that size would be about $5000, according to the city administrator's office. Here is the way the city arrived at the 36,000 estimate. A total of all water meters in the city was taken, less commercial meters and those installed but not in use. The total was multiplied by 3.2 (that being the average size of a family) and that results in a total pretty nearly the actual size of the population. However, to get it exact, the feds will have to do the counting. Keith Murdoch, city administrator, says such a census brings about a substantial savings to the city in the form of tax returns. The Women's Society of Christian Service cleared $1030 for White Temple Methodist church in their recent rummage sale. The High School Senior Council will sponsor a dance in the Girls' Gym after the football game with Orange on Nov. 4. In charge of arrangements are John Rockwell, Jean Beeman, Carol Booth, Kirk and Susan Reed. The local Business and Professional Women's club was well represented at the fall conference of San Orco District in Laguna Beach last Saturday and Sunday when eight members were in attendance. These were Miss Florence Davis, president of the local club; Mrs. Emma Lawrence, auditor for the district; Mrs. Mae Cornbloom, attendance chairman for the district; Miss Beulah Hineman, chairman of special committee; Mrs. Josephine Fulfer, president of San Orco district; Miss Helen Sharp, Mrs. Evah Drennon and Mrs. Norma Nipper. A total of 186 delegates and guests were registered for the sessions at which time many items of business were discussed. A banquet was the highlight of the Saturday session and concluding the day with a reception for district and state officers in attendance. The Sunday sessions were opened with breakfast in the Marine room. All sessions were concluded at noon on Sunday. One of the most important phases of the B-PW program was discussed at length by Ruth Church Supka, an attorney from San Francisco and state legislation chairman of B-PW. The equal pay bill which has been introduced in the Assembly in Sacramento was explained by Miss Gupka in which she told of the many things that go into the final passage of a bill and of the extent of lobbying that must be done to interest our legislators in the bill. If they are sufficiently impressed, the bill may proceed into the process of passage in the proper channels. Committee reports rounded out the program for the sessions.
