OBLONG VIEWS (From an Egg-Shaped Head) By WALDO HUNTER, P.S.B. A DAILY NEWSPAPER of Wednesday, Nov. 9, published a picture which might be suspected of coming under the classification of communist propaganda. Unwittingly, of course, for the picture came from a syndicate which distributes "filler" stuff to many newspapers. The picture was a two-column job on Page 6 of Section B, positioned just above the television schedule. It shows a group of Russians engaged in the happy game of "gorodki", and the central object in the picture is a 102-year-old codger with a full-blown beard wielding something which vaguely resembles the American baseball bat. Here is the wording under the picture: "102 AND STILL PITCHING—Boarded Ivan Vasillevich Zhizhin, 102-year-old retired Russian minny wife, Gorodki gas. In his park in Kizil, U.S.B.R., Gorodki is a popular Russian sport in which a big stick is hurried at a group of small sticks arranged in a geometric pattern. Object of the game is to break the pattern. Zhizhin, according to information supplied by an official source, worked 70 years in the coal pits of Kizil and is still active." Well, we have no quarrel with the Russians telling us about their national sports, always interesting to the foreigner. But the whole thing is spoiled when that "official source" tossed in the information that this old beezer Anaheim Gazette THURSDAY, NOV. 17, 1955 Children's Home Society Has Brea Meeting The Northern Orange County Auxiliary of the Childrens' Home society held its November meeting at the Brea home of Mrs. H.

Martin holds the Purple Heart. Hostess to Home Dept. Mrs. Minnie Ehrle was hostess Well, we have no quarrel with the Russians telling us about their national sports, always interesting to the foreigner. But the whole thing is spoiled when that "official source" tossed in the information that this old beezer Zhizhlin could still play in athletic games after working 70 years in Russian coal pits. Please, gentlemen, the air is getting a bit clouded in here, at least for us non-vegetarians. First thing tomorrow morning I am going to get a letter off to John L. Lewis and ask him how come an American miner, after digging coal for 70 years, can't get out and lope through a hundred-yard dash for the photogs. OPENING OF THE GARDEN Theatre (the old Grand) at E. Center and Philadelphia Sts. will mean that Anaheimers will have available more diversion in the entertainment field. It will be a good thing for those intrepid individuals who strive to escape from TV, and a good thing for the community to have at least a choice in what walk-in theatres to attend. Life's Ambition Dept. 1. To be the guy who toots that whistle out at Disneyland every once in awhile to fool outsiders into the idea that the train is running. 2. To collect one penny for every guy who rides that train out at Knott's. 3. To be the guy who sits way off in the corner of the theatre pounding on that little anvil when they show CinemaScope. THE DISNEYLAND TV show Wednesday night, Nov. 9, was the second in a serialized delineation of the classic story of Robin Hood, and I distinctly heard the narrator say that the hero of the story robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Isn't that Karl Marx stuff? Gracious! Somebody must be asleep at the switch! Books much more innocuous as this have been extirpated from the reference library at A.U.H.S. Wines of Anaheim, presiding.

AUHS Grads Plan Homecoming Anaheim Union High School graduates of '53 will be honored at an annual homecoming celebration tomorrow night.

IF YOU WANT A HOME OF YOUR OWN ...we can make it possible to OWN A BEAUTIFUL HOME Wednesday night, Nov. 9, was the second in a serialized delineation of the classic story of Robin Hood, and I distinctly heard the narrator say that the hero of the story robbed from the rich to give to the poor. Isn't that Karl Marx stuff? Gracious! Somebody must be asleep at the switch! Books much more innocuous as this have been extirpated from the reference library at A.W.H.S. Rob from the rich to give to the poor. A sin on the one hand cancelled out by an act of good on the other. Surely there is someone among the patriots and the moralists who will at long last condemn this evil book which has for so many generations poisoned the minds of our youngsters. The very fact that no one actually knows who wrote "Robin Hood" should of itself cast probrium on the work. It is fobbed off as having been handed down through the ages by way of legends. To your steeds, men! Let us stamp out this flendish fiction which points up the unAmerican theory that we should wrest the wealth from the mighty and scatter it about among the unworthy, the destitute, the ill-clothed, the Democrats, and other such. Mr. and Mrs. Richard H. Harryman of 302 E. Broadway, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Dorothy Ilene, to John L. Woodworth, Jr. of Kansas City, Mo. A December wedding is planned. She is a graduate of Anaheim Union High school and attended Fullerton Junior college. He is stationed at Stanton with the armed forces.
