KWIKSET BECOMES NATION'S NO. 1 RESIDENTIAL LOCKSET MAKER
Shrine Pageant and North-South Football Game
Early mail returns indicate that ticket sales for the Fifth Annual Shrine Pageant and North-South Football Game are the heaviest in the event's history, according to Elmer P. Bromley, managing director.
Bromley said that unlike former years early ticket sales were handled through the mail exclusively with highly successful results. Now tickets are also available at the Shrine Temple headquarters, 655 W. Jefferson Blvd. Student, general admission and reserved seat tickets are on sale, he stated.
The charity classic will be held in the Coliseum, August 1, with more than 4,000 persons participating in the five divisions which go to make up the colorful pageant. Fifty selected high school football stars from all over the state will play.
Pageant and game is sponsored by the Al Malaikah Shrine Temple for the benefit of the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children at 3160 Geneva St., where 747 children have been treated since 1952. Out-patient visits by children numbered 1,000.
Findings of a nationally prominent research organization show that Kwikset Locks, Inc., Anaheim, is now the leading manufacturer of residential locksets in the United States, according to an announcement by Kwikset's President Adolf Schoepe.
In releasing the results of the market analysis made by the independent research company, Schoepe revealed that Kwikset has obtained one-third of the nation's residential lockset market. There are about 30 manufacturers in the field.
Schoepe pointed out that the company's policies in providing a good product in the low-price field, along with an unconditional guarantee, ease of installation, and support of dealers, have been important factors in Kwikset's rise to the top of the lockset market.
In a special report to the Kwikset Board of Directors last week, Schoepe announced that the research study had been underway for more than six months, and had included an intensive survey of all phases of the national builders hardware industry.
"We found that our basic policies, instituted upon the founding of the company in 1945, are justified because of this public acceptance record," Schoepe declared. He quoted the following statement from the survey:

Corporation Deeds Anaheim Site for Fire Station No. 3
Altec Lansing Corp., manufacturers of sound and electronics equipment, has deeded to the city of Anaheim a site for the city's Fire Station No. 3.
The site is part of a tract on South Manchester Blvd. acquired by Altec for its projected Anaheim plant which will cover some 100,000 square feet of floor space and which will cost $1,250,000.
Manufactured here will be sound equipment and high fidelity systems for the civilian market. Corporation President George Carrington says the Anaheim branch will include one of the most modern acoustical laboratories in the world. Executive offices of the corporation, whose main plants are in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, will be moved to Anaheim, with A. A. Ward as local plant manager.
The local plant is scheduled for completion in the fall and is expected initially to employ 200.

"We found that our basic policies, instituted upon the founding of the company in 1945, are justified because of this public acceptance record," Schopee declared. He quoted the following statement from the survey:
"In choosing a brand within the low-price field, the builder's choice is influenced by many other factors as well as price: namely, (1) ease of installation, (2) mechanical reliability, (3) the recommendation of the dealer, (4) reputation, (5) design and finish of the lock, and (6) availability in the quantities desired when needed."
The Kwikset plant in Anaheim is one of the most progressively equipped plants in Southern California, due in large part to the founder's background in mechanics and the metallurgical trades and his respect for tools and mechanical systems.
Schopee informed the board of directors that "the accomplishment we have achieved after a decade is a challenge to us for the next 10 years. In every way we will try to better our own records".

City Clerk Dene Williams said her office was swamped by petitions "both verbal and written" Tuesday voicing sentiments against the proposed annexation.

1955 came to a close, Dillman said. Dependents of old-age beneficiaries or survivors of workers who had died were getting $309,120 a month in Orange County at the end of the year. These amounts represent increases of 21 and 22 percent, respectively, during the year.

If the child of a retired or deceased person is entitled to monthly payments, the child's mother may also be entitled to benefits, regardless of her age. In Orange County at the end of 1955, 536 widowed mothers who were caring for child beneficiaries were receiving $26,146 per month. $70,951 went to aged widows, aged dependent widowers, and aged parents of deceased workers in December 1955.

Southern Half of California Has 8,510,000 People
The Southern half of California has a population estimated at 8,510,000 as of April 1, 1956, according to James F. McWaters, manager of Security-First National Bank's Anaheim branch.
That represented an increase of 2,094,000 or 32.6 per cent in the six years since the census of April 1, 1950, the local banker stated, quoting from a special population report compiled by the bank's research department.
The annual gain during the period averaged 349,000, or nearly 1,000 per day. An increase of 410,000 is estimated for the year 1955, the researchers said.
The numerical increase in population during the past six years has been the largest in the history of the area. The periods of six consecutive years showing the largest gains ever recorded for the 14-county area are:
April 1, 1950 - April 1, 1956—plus 349,000 per year.
Jan. 1, 1940 - Jan. 1, 1956—plus 259,000 per year.
Jan. 1, 1920 - Jan. 1, 1926—plus 193,000 per year.
It will be noted that the recent wave of population growth has been substantially larger than both that which accompanied World War II and that which followed World War I.

Residents Seek To Halt Church Building Plan
The plan of St. Anthony Claret parish to erect a church, school, convent, auditorium and rectory on East La Palma Ave. was vigorously protested by a large group of residents of the area who attended the Anaheim city council meeting Tuesday night.
The 8½-acre church site is in an R-A zone, in which church construction is permitted, and the church officials are within their legal rights, but residents, mostly on Buttonwood St., want the area re-zoned to an R-1 (single family) area which would preclude church building.
The protestors had petitioned the city planning commission for a hearing which had been set for June 18, in an effort to change the zoning. Preliminary work on the structure has begun, and the petitioners wanted the council to place a restraining order on the project until after the June 18 meeting. This the council
MULTI-MILLION EDISON PLANT OK'D BY PUBLIC UTILITES COMMISSION
The California Public Utilities Commission has issued a Certificate of Necessity and Convenience for Southern California Edison Company to construct a multi-million dollar, 400,000 Kilowatt steam-electric generating station at Huntington Beach.
The contract for engineering and construction of the Huntington Beach steam station, as it will be contracted, has been awarded to Bechtol Corporation, and work will be started early this summer it was announced by R. E. Bacon, Edison District Manager.
Mr. Bacon stated that the station's first 200,000 Kilowatt generating unit is expected to be ready for operation by the summer of 1958.
Edison's new steam station will be constructed on a site located west of Santa Ana river and north of Pacific Coast Highway within the city limits of Huntington Beach. It has been estimated that when completed, with 400,000 kilowatts in two generating units, including permanent transmission facilities, the station
SPEED CONTROL VITAL FACTOR
"Speed control is vital to car control". This statement was made today by California Highway Patrol Commissioner B. R. Caldwell as plans were made to cope with the record flow of traffic expected this summer on California streets and highways.
"Slow drivers as well as fast drivers are responsible for a large number of traffic accidents each year." Caldwell said. "We can eliminate these accidents by always driving within the lawful speed for the area traversed. This means keeping the car under full control at all times through safe and sane speeds and alertness to all other traffic rules. Our enforcement action will cover all violations but, specific emphasis will continue to be placed on violations of the speed laws including those against slow driving."
The protestors had petitioned the city planning commission for a hearing which had been set for June 18, in an effort to change the zoning. Preliminary work on the structure has begun, and the petitioners wanted the council to place a restraining order on the project until after the June 18 meeting. This the council refused to do, maintaining that the church was acting within its legal rights.
Home owners protesting the building state that it will lower their property values, create a traffic and parking problem, and introduce a "noise factor" into the neighborhood "which would be highly undesirable."
The council said it would be impossible to stop work on the project, as a permit had already been issued, but that a motion for change of zoning would be considered at the June 18 meeting.
SHRINE FAMILY SHOW IN LAGUNA
More than 3500 Shriners and their friends will converge on Thursday, June 21, when C.

Nelson Eddy will star in the two-hour stage presentation which will feature many stage and TV personalities. Master of ceremonies will be C. P. MacGregor, assistant Rabban of Al Malalkah temple, widely known radio and television producer.
Edison's new steam station will be constructed on a site located west of Santa Ana river and north of Pacific Coast Highway within the city limits of Huntington Beach. It has been estimated that when completed, with 400,000 kilowatts in two generating units, including permanent transmission facilities, the station will represent an Edison investment of more then $60,000,000.
Construction of the Company's new Huntington Beach steam station is necessary to meet Orange County's consistently increasing needs for electrical service, which has accompanied the tremendous growth following World War II, it was pointed out.

In presenting the check to treasurer William Smith of Goodwill Industries, W. Brad Hellis, vice-president and secretary of the Irvine Foundation, Irvine ranch, expressed appreciation for the community by Goodwill Industries in giving employment to the physically handicapped.
"Goodwill Industries is doing a very constructive job in this county, and that is the type of service we are glad to assist," said Hellis. "Myford Irvine, president of the Irvine Foundation, and other members of the board feel that this contribution will have a part in a most worthy project."
Commenting on the gift, executive director George F. Angne of Goodwill Industries said "We not only appreciate the financial assistance, but we are heartened by this public recognition of the merit in our program of employing the physically handicapped, using only household discards to finance operations. This not only is without cost to the taxpayers, it actually saves taxpayers the cost of supporting these handicapped. Our payroll now runs over $300,000 a year."
