Stanton Citizens Meet Again to Discuss Problems The problems of incorporation will again be discussed by residents of Stanton when they meet at Sayanna school for an information meeting. The meeting is being called by the Chamber of Commerce, although that body of citizens are strictly neutral. Results from a recent questionnaire sent to chamber members, showed them to be almost equally divided on the subject of incorporation. One thing the questionnaire did show was the almost unanimous feeling of opposition of any annexation to the city of Buena Park. All questions will be discussed, using as a basis of the meeting, the questions sent to the chamber members by residents in the community. The proposed incorporation was instigated several weeks ago and has been rapidly moving along since that time. Several meetings have been held and citizens of Stanton are studying the incorporation problem from all possible angles in order to form the best possible conclusion and the advantages, both pro and con, for incorporation. Electronic Phone MARCH OF DIMES DRIVE SET Plans for the March of Dimes in January, annual January drive for funds to combat polio and care for its victims, were laid at a pre-campaign conference between leaders of Orange County chapter, National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, and representatives of civic groups, in Harbor House cafe, Costa Mesa. The group publicly designated "Miss March of Dimes" for 1956, Mrs. Carol Carlton, 23, Santa Ana bank secretary who was stricken with polio, and who was making her first appearance since her release from Orthopedic Hospital. Organization was set up for March of Dimes campaign activities, including the Mothers March, which will close the drive at the end of January. Mrs. W. Harold Lang, Fullerton, is county chairman of the Mothers March. Mrs. Harriett Olander, Newport Beach, and Mrs. Mary Knipp, Costa Mesa, will head the Mothers March in the harbor area. Mrs. Walter Miller, Costa Mesa, and Mrs. Doris Hart, Fullerton, are co-chairmen of the Catholic Mothers Club, which will take an active part in the march. Teenagers of the county are expected to take a leading part in the approaching March of Dimes with John Hopkins, Costa Mesa student body president at Harbor Union High School, as county chairman of the Peanuts for PoliDrive. A committee was named to contact all high schools of the county to organize this section of the campaign. General County Chairman, Police Chief Arthur McKenzie of Costa Mesa, who presided over the conference, issued a call-for volunteers in the coming campaign. "Pollo isn't licked yet. We have a big job ahead, and will need all the help we can get from everyone," McKenzie said. Just because a man pitches good line is no sign he has a chance on the ball. Two Variances Refused; One Granted at Meeting Two of three proposed medical centers were denied last Monday afternoon by the Anaheim Planning Commission. The two medical centers were to cost approximately $250,000 each, one scheduled to be erected on N. Loa-but at the meeting Monday, he explained that he needed additional parking facilities, for within this he could get little finance backing for his huge project. Residents of N. Ctron St. stated tha- Electronic Phone System Installed At Police Station The cordless electronic and push button switchboard telephone system is the newest installation at the local police station. The increased work of the department necessitated a change from the old outmoded two-line system. The new system is a five-trunk system and is calculated to handle the present number of calls coming into the station daily. The new telephone numbers are KEystone 3-3131 and KEystone 3-1321 during the daytime hours and KEystone 3-1326 at night. The old number, KEystone 5-2131 may still be used until a new directory is printed. Under a rotary dial setup, KEystone 3-3131 will ring any of the four numbers assigned to the police station on four of its five trunk lines. The radio dispatcher operates the telephone switchboard and the police radio, taking calls and dispatching police cars to addresses the callers desire. The new system will enable persons to reach the police department faster in an emergency and receive faster service. Two of three proposed medical centers were denied last Monday afternoon by the Anaheim Planning Commission. The two medical centers were to cost approximately $250,000 each, one scheduled to be erected on N. Lora st., north of Crescent Ave., and the second planned for a 120 by 500 foot strip along N. Citron St., from La Palma Ave., to be used for parking space for the proposed medical center for Dr. E. H. Kersten. Although the latter request would have required a reclassification, the request died for the lack of a majority and Dr. Kersten lost to his opposition. The first of the two refused requests was asked by George D. Buccola who planned to build the $250,000 medical center near the Broadway-Anaheim store and was refused when residents in the area argued the danger which the Center would bring to their area due to the inadequate roads and the present flood control channel that runs through the property. The request was formerly turned down because of the channel and the commissioners asked that the builder wait until the flood control district decided what they planned to do. To date nothing has been done. This, along with the inadequate road situation and also the fact that the location is near a school, defeated the request. Dr. E. H. Kersten has permission to build his medical center at La Palma Ave. and Citron St., but at the meeting Monday, he explained that he needed additional parking facilities, for with this he could get little finance backing for his huge project. Residents of N. Ctron St. stated that had gone along with Dr. Kersten when he asked for the variance originally, with the understanding that he would leave the by 500-foot buffer strip along Ctron St. They also stated that wish to keep the area a single family residence zone. The third variance request was presented by W. C. McCarthy D.D.S., who plans to erect a medical-dental building the corner of S. Palm St. W. Water St. The commission ed to grant the request to though residents in the area tested. Their reason was there was a medical building the opposite corner of the street and that they had been subjected to nothing but noises screaming sirens which frightened the school children and ruptured the sleep of nearby students because of sirens at all hours of the night. Other obnoxious events were committed at "emergency hospital" it was ted by the opposition. Parking been hampered also, said the residents. The commission, comment that residents could solve problems through other grants Dr. McCarthy hisance.

The request was based on the statement that the interested parties had not had an opportunity to properly study a recent survey made of the proposed incorporation by a Los Angeles firm. Spokesman for the group stated that the survey in question is a biased report paid for by proincorporationists and which he felt does not tell the complete story nor the cost to the taxpayers should the incorporation carry. It is surmised that the Property Owners Association, who were successful in defeating the first attempt, will again attempt to stop incorporation proceedings. However, they like other organizations and populated areas in the proposed city's boundaries have not publicly made known its intention in the opposition fight. It was stated that petition asking exclusion from the proposed incorporation have been quietly circulating for some time and they were to be presented at the meeting Tuesday.
