BESTIAL CRIMINAL attack upon a fair young Garden Grove girl has outraged decent citizens. She was acclaimed as "Miss California of 1955." In all our annals of crime, no one transgression stands out in the normal mind as more reprehensible than the violation of womanhood. But here is a paradox. While we righteously cry out and bring to bear every force of the law to chastise the sex deviate, we at the same time condone practises which kindle the spark in the minds of the borderline cases. The spark fans into flame. The guy runs berserk; violence and terror are the result. THERE IS temptation here to say that the "animal instinct" is aroused in man, but to put it that way is to libel some of man's best friends, animals such as dogs, cats, horses, sheep, cattle, and all the others. There is no record of rape in that category. Let's look at this thing with an open mind. When we take an attractive and shapely girl, strip her down to the bare essentials, parade her up and down the landscape before massed thousands at parades; picture her in all the newspapers, newsreels, and on TV TV STAR TO HEAD PROGRAM Dick Lane and Miss Carol Carlton, Miss March of Dimes Home From School In Australia for 'Summer Vacation' Celia Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hamilton of 11071 101 Highway, is enjoying a month's "summer vacation" from her studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia. As a Fullbright Scholar, she has been traveling abroad for the past 14 months and has been asked by our government to continue her political science studies at the Australian capital Canberra. All roads will lead to Sunny Hills barn on Highway 101, a half-mile north of Fullerton business district, next Sunday morning, when the Associated Riding clubs of Orange county present Dick Lane, the TV star, and other entertainment headliners at the benefit breakfast for the March of Dimes. Breakfast will be served from 7 to 11:30 a.m., with all proceeds going to the March of Dimes, it was stated by Gale Harmon, Santa Ana, publicity chairman for the riding clubs. Lane, the lively TV announcer, will be master of ceremonies for the event, with Carol Carlton, 23, Santa Ana polio victim, reigning There is no record of rape in that category. Let's look at this thing with an open mind. When we take an attractive and shapely girl, strip her down to the bare essentials, parade her up and down the landscape before massed thousands at parades; picture her in all the newspapers, newsreels, and on TV attired in the absolute minimum of clothing prescribed by the law, we are doing her no good. Somewhere in the vast audience viewing this "slick chick" (as they were once called during the Anaheim Hallowe'en festivities) there are a few slavering brutes just waiting to pounce. But this sort of thing is condoned by our society, and actually pushed. TAKE A LOOK at the average news stand. Half naked woman all over the place. News dealers will tell you that you can't sell a paper-backed "pocketbook" nowadays unless there is a half-draped female on the cover with a leering male hovering in the background. This all adds up to a massive indictment against all of us, and we may as well admit it. Some of this stuff is so filthy it can not be sent through the mails, yet it is within easy reach of our children who have only to stop and pore over any magazine rack at any news stand. This sort of literature is a form of propaganda as evil as anything spring on us by foreign ideologies, but by a peculiar twist of something or other we must defend it. You can't prohibit it, for that would be an abridgment of our freedom of press and, more concretely, a challenge to free enterprise. For the publisher of these books and magazines is running a legitimate business for profit. In the matter of this latest case of lust and rapine, when we look at it strictly from the standpoint of outraged humanity, we demand the maximum punishment for the miscreant. But, then, let us take a look down through the other end of the telescope. Who is to cast the first stone? Celia Hamilton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Hamilton of 11071 101 Highway, is enjoying a month's "summer vacation" from her studies at the University of Melbourne, Australia. As a Fullbright Scholar, she has been traveling abroad for the past 14 months and has been asked by our government to continue her political science studies at the Australian capitol, Camberra. She flew home by way of Hawaii and was able to visit with Rev. and Mrs. Frank Butterworth, formerly of White Temple Methodist church, now stationed in Honolulu. She arrived home on Dec. 20 and expects to return "down under" in February. Miss Hamilton brought lovely orchids to decorate the family Christmas table, and beautiful souvenir jewelry. Plans for Jewish Synagogue and School Progress The proposed organization of a new synagogue and religious school for Conservative Jewry in Orange county is progressing. A group of local residents have been actively engaged for sometime in this work and have been responsible for the Friday evening services held each week in the Carpenters' Hall on S. Palm street. Plans have progressed to the point where a general meeting of the membership will be held on Tuesday evening Jan. 17, at the Northrop Recreation club at 1625 S.

But, then, let us take a look down through the other end of the telescope. Who is to cast the first stone? √ A MIMEOGRAPHED sheet put out by the Benjamin Franklin P-TA contains information that passage of the impending $3,500,-000 school bond issue will not increase local taxes. One can not help but wonder what kind of arithmetic they teach over there. √ THE FEDERAL census taker was around to our house last night, and after she had asked my name, I asked what her was. She is Mrs. Lois Kielsmeler of 7426 Mt. Vernon. Riverside, Had driven all the way down to Anaheim just to check names. She says the city will receive $5 per head from gasoline taxes for every additional resident above the figure for the old census. She is paid 6 cents for each name she records in her big book. Not a bad deal, she says. She has made as much as $50 per day counting noses. The average is about $12-$14 per day, she added. Mrs. Kielsmeler doesn't have to work for a living, however, as she is financially independent, and does the work mostly for the fun of it. Meets many interesting people, and has some odd experiences. All in all, I found out more about her than she did about me. Excepting, of course, her age. Members of the steering committee of Congregation Beth Emet, as the new organization has been named, have been appointed as follows: chairman, Rex Lidov, Fullerton; vice-chairman, Leonard Krow, Garden Grove, and Mrs. Edwin Brosbe, Anaheim; recording secretary, Mrs. J. Paul Browne, Garden Grove; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Simon Goldberg, Garden Grove; treasurer, Murray Sporn, Fullerton; trustees, Fred Fine, Fullerton and Jay Marymor, Anaheim; committee members-at-large, Irwin Luchs, Garden Grove, Leslie Goldman, Fullerton, Edwin Brosbe, Anaheim, Simon Goldberg, Garden Grove, Murray Kranz, Garden Grove, and Le Roy Rose of Fullerton.

Mrs. Melvin Hilgenfeld, Mrs. Lester Ferrell and Mrs. Lorraine Davies are in charge of the 7 p.m. program which will tell "how it all started." The evening is expected to take the form of a homecoming with many of the early Scouts to be on hand as well as the pioneer founders of Girl Scouting here. Singled out for special honor will be M. A. Gauer who, as school superintendent in 1926, commissioned the Misses Adah L. Wilcox and E. Kate Rea to investigate extra curricular possibilities for organized recreation for school girls.

The night's program will begin at 6:30 with the potluck supper. The Boys Work Committee, Charles Bush, chairman, pointed to the Jr. Hi-Y clubs as a very active part of the Anaheim YMCA program. Twenty-six boys recently climaxed the fall activities with a trip to the Mojave desert on Dec. 28, 29, and 30, staying one night in Calico and the second in Joshua Tree National Monument. In another phase of the club program, John Easton, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Easton, was elected Jr. Hi-Y Council president. He will preside at the formal induction ceremony on Jan. 12.

Kate Rea to investigate extra curricula possibilities for organized recreation for school girls. Miss Rea was an elementary school teacher and Miss Wilcox now principal of Thomas Jefferson school, was supervisor of girls' physical education for a number of years. Upon recommendation, local Girl Scouting was given a start with Miss Wilcox as leader of the first two troops. Officially, the first troop was formed at Fremont school on January 2, 1927. A Court of Awards was held later in the year and a Community Steering Committee was established. From a membership of 102 in 1927, the Anaheim Girl Scout Council has grown to an approximate membership of 2287. Present registration figures show 1127 Brownies, 576 Intermediates, 25 Seniors, and 539 adults. The history of Girl Scouting in Anaheim will be given in detail on Monday night, and in some cases it will be on the verge of repeating itself as some members of those early troops introduce daughters who are in Scouting now. One Girl Scout who has been registered for 29 years is Nancy Lou Hargrave, now Mrs. Tallman Trask of San Gabriel. She was awarded the first letter of commendation in 1930 and won the first Golden Eaglet in 1936. She went on into professional Scouting. As a volunteer, she has just finished an eight-year term as a regional committee member and is now vice-president of the associated committees of the Los Angeles area. To spearhead a drive to bring Girl Scouting to all those who would like to participate in this fast growing community, new officers will be elected at the anniversary party. Federal Census Underway Here The task of taking a special federal census is well underway in Anaheim with 34 census-takers ANNUAL MEETING A. J. Schutte presided at the annual meeting of Anaheim Zion Lutheran congregation on Sunday evening, Jan. 9, at the church. A special meeting of the voters was set for Jan. 16 to hear a report of the committee which is investigating the calling of an assistant pastor. Edison Company Planning Large Generator Plant To Meet County Growth Southern California Edison company is negotiating to acquire approximately 80 acres of property in the city limits of Huntington Beach as a site for a steam-electric generating station, according to R. E. Bacon, Edison district manager. With the first two 200,000 kilowatt generating units, the plant will represent an investment in excess of $80,000,000. "The record industrial, commercial and domestic growth of Orange county during recent years has created an ever increasing demand for more electricity," Mr. Bacon said. Last year alone there were more than 24,000 homes built in the county. The new Edison development will help meet the need for electric power which is essential to the continued growth and progress of the area. Location of the future multi-million dollar development is west of the Santa Ana river, north of the Pacific coast highway and within the city limits of Huntington Beach. A tidallands site is necessary, Mr. Bacon said, because of the need for large quantities of ocean water for condenser cooling in the plant. The station will be built north of the highway and the conduits which carry sea water for cooling will be underground. Mr. Bacon pointed out that the development would add substantially to the tax revenues of Orange county. He also stated that the maximum available local fuels would be used in the operation of the plant. Ultimately the new Edison steam station will be one of the largest generating plants on the company's system. He stated that actual construction dates can be determined when the Public Utilities Commission and other public agencies have approved the company's plans to construct the plant in the area. The purpose of the new census is that Anaheim may claim its share of the gasoline tax collected by the state. Federal Census Underway Here The task of taking a special federal census is well underway in Anaheim with 34 census-takers working to count every man, woman and child in the city. The work is expected to take two weeks with the first preliminary report to be issued a week after the enumerators have completed the job. The final and official count will be issued about a month later by the Bureau of Census in Washington, D.C., after a careful screening is completed. Anaheim city officials expect the census to show more than 40,000 persons live in Anaheim but some believe the figure to reach 42,000 persons. The information gained in the census cannot be given to any city state or federal agency, according to federal law, nor can these names be used for purposes for taxation, investigation or regulation. All information gained is of a confidential nature and each enumerator is placed under oath that such information will be kept strictly confidential and cannot be given to any other person. This census was requested by and is being paid for by the city of Anaheim. A normal federal census is taken every ten years and is more detailed in its scope. The purpose of the new census is that Anaheim may claim its share of the gasoline tax collected by the state.

AUHS BOARD BUYS 3 BUSSES; HIRES EMPLOYEES Meeting in regular session on Thursday evening of last week, members of the Board of Trustees of Anaheim Union High school completed plans for the purchase of three new busses for use in the present bus system of the school. They also hired two inspectors, a teacher and a building license Sales Up; DMV Urges Early Purchase of Tags Motor vehicle registrations throughout the state were issued in larger volume during the first week of 1956 than in the same period in any other recent year. Paul Mason, State Director of Motor Vehicles, said: "The new 1956 license plates have attracted people to the offices of the Department of Motor Vehicles earlier than in the years when small tabs only are issued to renew the plates. The 1958 totals were ahead of 1955 totals by as much as 80 per cent at comparable dates at some points. The overall increase in the first week is approximately 250,000 registrations." But the director warned that a slowing of the rate of applications is likely to occur in the second and third weeks of January. He urged motorists to secure their plates and certificates as early as possible, to avoid the traditional rush and crowding of the final week, Jan. 30 through Feb. 4. "We ask motorists to use the prepared registration statements issued by the department late in December when paying their fees," Mason stated. "The cards should be presented complete, without detaching the stub. The blank lines at the right of the card should be filled in with name and address, printed in ink or typed."

A down payment of $250 each is being required by the seller of the buses, the Langlois Co. Due to present financial problems of the school district, these busses will be purchased under the installment plan with the payments to run over a period of four years.
