Baseball Camp At Catalina Lures Anaheim Youth One of the most popular summer projects of the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department "Summer Fun" program is the summer baseball camp at Catalina Island scheduled for Aug. 20-24. P&RD officials were amazed at the response to this project, and public announcement of it had hardly been made until the registration quota of 65 applicants was filled. No more registrations can be taken this year, but Don K. Derr, director of parks and recreation, says that next year an attempt will be made to extend the camp to include a full month, and he is almost certain that enough youngsters will apply to fill the bill. The registration of $24.50 for the five-day junket includes transportation to and from San Pedro, boat to Catalina and return, meals and lodgings, baseball training supplies, and "five wonderful days at Catalina." This baseball camp is described as "a camp with a purpose, something new in a camp program." The camp life will center around baseball and learning the skills of the game. Featured for the edification of the budding young baseball stars will be automatic pitching machines, personal coaching for each position, scientific batting instruction, and, "after hours," of course, there will be boating swimming fish. Edison Company Plans to Retain Easement Rights R. E. Bacon, district manager of the Southern California Edison Company, said today that "in view of the Edison Company's obligation to provide service for its many thousands of customers in Orange county, it must retain its full easement rights affecting the property at the rear of the homes on Dittmore St. in Garden Grove. (Ed. Note: veterans were sold a number of homes in the tract without knowledge that their back yards were part of the easement. The Veterans Administration is in process of forcing the developer to buy back the homes.) Pointing out that the company acquired by purchase its right-of-way at this location approximately 25 years ago, Bacon said "this right-of-way constitutes one of the most important links between two of the major electrical substations in Orange county. Two electric transmission lines have been constructed on this right-of-way and plans have already been made to construct additional lines thereon in the not too distant future. "Inasmuch as the said right-of-way has not been devoted to its ultimate public utility use up to the present time, it would not be feasible to make any commitments at this time as to the use that may be made by adjoining home owners of the lands affected by the easements."

Methodist Conference in Session The 106th session of the Southern California - Arizona Methodist conference convened at Redlands, this week. Among the many items of business coming before the conference was selecting a place for a theological school, which was accomplished Tuesday when the conference voted the location to be at Claremont over a spirited bid by the California Western University to locate it at San Diego. A spokesman said it would be "the finest theological school on the Pacific coast." The vote for the location at Claremont was almost unanimous. Financial reports showed that receipts were up, general advance special funds, and Bishop's Prospectors for the year were $1,025.-259, up nearly $50,000 in a year. Under the new pension plan, all ministers would contribute and the conference would pay share as formerly. Ultimately the overall cost should about equal the present cost of both schemes it was stated. The conference will come to close Sunday with the assignments of pastors to the various charges under the So. California Arizona Conference District. Among local pastors from Orange county attending the conference are Rev. Earl Kernahs of Anaheim White Temple Methodist church, and Rev. William McKinley Walker of the Wesley Methodist church.

Discusses Problem Of County Levies Two important factors complicate taxpayer work on budgets in Orange and other counties throughout the state, the state-wide California Taxpayers' association said today. First there is the progressively higher amount of levy which, with the increasing value of taxable property in the county, results from each cent of property tax rate levied county-wide. Each cent of property tax rate county-wide in Orange county for 1955-56 meant a levy of $65,516 compared with a levy of $59,920 for each cent of county-wide tax rate for 1954-55, and a levy of $43,712 for each cent of county-wide tax rate in 1950-51, the Taxpayers' association explained. Levy for each cent of tax rate for 1956-57 will follow the trend of total taxable value of property in the county, the association said. Taxable property in the county for 1955-56 was assessed at $655,156,770 compared with $599,-195,430 for 1954-55, and $437,123,-110 for 1950-51. Second there is the impact of the new local sales tax which if students participate in all activities at the camp including the band. In addition to the two day camps this year, Williams said, Orange county crippled children and adults will participate in resident camp activities at Camp Pavika at Crestline. The camp is owned by the Los Angeles Crippled Children and Adult Society, but they permit 32 local trainees to attend. Camperships for trainees at Pavika cost $95 for the two week period. Williams said, "Activities at the center will continue during camp periods, so we need much additional help during the summer." Concert-Recital Set for Sunday At Melrose Abbey Albert M.
