"Fullerton has unique features that can only offer to Growers Container corporation unlimited production possibilities," said Dales. "In addition to the prosperous citrus industry in and around Fullerton there is a wide range of products manufactured in the city many of which are or could be packed in corrugated shipping cases. Fullerton was selected not only because of the already established possibilities but also because of its well-planned program for future growth. The city's projected industrial-residential plan has brought some of the nation's largest concerns to the city and has many more eyeing the fast-growing, clearly defined industrial sections and lovely residential areas," he stated. The Fullerton plant of Growers Container corporation and Pure Gold Supply company is expected to be in production by January 1957 bringing an annual payroll of $600,000 to the area. Approximately 150 persons will be employed on a two-shift basis about 35 will be employed in the office and the remainder in the plant. At a later date it is expected that the plant will operate three shifts making available at least 60 more employment opportunities. The most modern machinery and equipment will be used in the plant to turn out both corrugated and solid fibre shipping containers sheets single and double-face rolls die cut items and associated products. While particular emphasis will be on the manufacture of containers for citrus and agricultural use a large percentage of the plant's production has been reserved for manufacturing cases to be used in packing industrial products. An estimated 45,000,000 cartons will be produced annually on the new high-speed machinery. "Pure Gold Supply company,a wholly owned subsidiary of Pure Gold Inc., pioneer citrus marriages."

PT&T Gets Help Of Modern Robin Hood A modern-day Robin Hood Monday of this week came to the aid of Pacific Telephone line crews working in the remote regions of the Carbon canyon area, east of Placentia. He's Bill McLain, Fullerton resident of 405 South Spadra Rd., and owner of the Fullerton ProAmateur Archery shop. The telephone company was faced with the task of stringing three miles of wire across rugged hilly country to bring telephone service to an installation of the Aerojet-General corporation. Supervising construction foreman, Bob Lethin took a look at the steep canyon walls, rattle snakes and poison oak and decided on an easier and faster way to string the wire. That's when archer McLain went to work. High atop a cliff overlooking a deeply-rutted ravine the sports man took aim and fired at the nearest telephone pole over 400 feet away. An arrow shot out from the 97-pound pull bow, trailing a lightweight nylon line that uncoiled at the rate of 150 feet per second. The arrow and line dropped within six feet of the mark. The nylon line was tied to a rope which in turn was attached to the telephone wire. The wire was then pulled clear of all obstacles on the ground and strung on the poles. Construction crews started the unique project in May. Bulldozers and jeeps took over where other vehicles failed. Thirty-foot telephone poles were hauled on the shoulders of burly linemen and carried to the proper sites. When the dust finally settled after nearly seven weeks of heavy labor, hilltops and valleys had been spotted with more than 40 poles set at intervals of 400 to 600 feet. Under provisions of the amendment government law would be available to erans at substantial savings premiums. Veterans would be a year after enactment or bill to purchase the insurer. The House must act upon amendment, but Kuchel confidence that it would prove proval.

Besides alleging "unfair influence of outsiders," accusation of "foul play, sabbotaging of meetings" was also made. The form of "sabotage", according to spokesmen for pro-annexation residents included the presence of a large faction of residents of the West Anaheim annex, under the banner of the West Anaheim Rural Property Owners Protective Association, and a goodly portion of the Stanton City Council and the Stanton Civic Development Committee, according to Keith Murdock, city administrator. Stanton was reported to be casting covetous glances at the Ball-Dale area at the time of incorporation of that area. Buena Park was defeated twice in its attempt to take in the area, finally abandoning its attempt of annexation. Motorcycle Racer Of Anaheim, Meets Death Thomas P. Lasater, a motorcycle race-driver of Anaheim, met death last Saturday when his machine crashed into a guard fence at the Las Vegas race track. He was impaled on a 2x4 rail spike in the fence. The accident occurred as Lasater was taking part in time trials for the first annual Silver State stock motorcycle race. Witnesses said he was apparently blinded by dust from another cycle as he came out of a turn, and his machine crashed into the fence at approximately 50 miles per hour. Lasater is survived by his widow, Patsy, and his mother, Mrs. Opal Townsend, both of this city. New "Grounding" Law Takes Effect The new motor vehicle grounding" law enacted by the legislature in 1955 takes effect July 1, 1956, as part of the state's effort to protect the moving public from damages suffered in accidents that may be used by financially irresponsible drivers and owners operating on the highways. Paul Mason, state director of motor vehicles, today issued a reminder to all motorists that failure to observe the accident reporting, financial responsibility, and security posting requirements of the California Vehicle Code may result in the suspension of a driver's vehicle registration and license plates, as well as suspension of a driver's license. The new provision now taking effect is the vehicle registration suspension feature, which also requires the owner to store the car in his own expense while under the suspension. The director said the accidents that must be reported under this law to the department of motor vehicles' financial responsibilitylice in Sacramento include all those in which any one person offers injury, death, or property damage in excess of $100. The report must be made on forms provided by DMV and must be submitted within 15 days of the date of the accident. The drivers solved in the accident must take such reports, regardless of time for causing it. These reals are in addition to any referred by local police. Mason said that drivers and others may exempt themselves from the council and the Stanton Civic Development Committee, according to Keith Murdock, city administrator. Stanton was reported to be casting covetous glances at the Ball-Dale area at the time of incorporation of that area. Buena Park was defeated twice in its attempt to take in the area, finally abandoning its attempt of annexation. Accusations of "sandbagging the meeting by inclusion of the outside elements were based on the statement that neither the residents of the West Anaheim annex nor the Stanton officials had any vested interest in what became of the Ball-Dale area. Literature reportedly circulated from house to house in the area claiming excessive tax levies and unfair practices of the City of Anaheim met with vehement denial of Anaheim city officials yesterday that there was "any basis of such statements." One circular said, "and the city (of Anaheim), will assess a tax levy from 46 to 75 per $100 assessed valuation—to defray the existing bond issue—" according to Murdock, the circular referred to a bond issue of the Orange County Water District 7, and he denied any basis for the statement, saying the city had never nor would ever, entertain the idea of a special tax levy to retire someone else's bonds, he also said the publishers and circulators of the circular "were stepping outside their knowledge when they attempted to predict Anaheim's tax structure and future plans." He went on to explain that Ball-Dale residents would assume their rightful share of existing Anaheim bond issues, but that no special taxes would be levied in the area. City officials, speaking of the "Webster Tract", that portion of the Ball-Dale proposed annex which contains most of the protesting farmers, "can easily be left out of the city, if that is their desire." Chispa Chapter O. E. S. Holds Annual Breakfast Two Bandits Rob Water Wheel Restaurant Sun. Two "strong-arm" bandits robbed the Water Wheel Restaurant early Sunday morning of $11,000, after kidnapping one club official and roughing up another, according to police. Louis C. LaFrance, club official, told police that after he left the club at about 3 a.m. Sunday, he and Bob Barron, a bartender, drove to Barron's home in Fullerton for a cup of chocolate. La France then drove to his home at 1016 N. Magnolia Ave., Anaheim, he said. As he was parking his car in front of his home, he told police, a man opened the right-hand door, shoved a gun into La France's face, and said "Hold it bud." At the same time, another bandit opened the left hand door and ordered the restaurant man to move over. Getting control of the car, with La France between them, they drove off, forcing La France to sit with his head down between his knees, according to the police report. After driving "about three blocks," said La France, the robbers made him get out of the front seat and lay face down in the rear seat, at which time they allegedly went through his pockets, getting $75 in cash. They then got back into the car, one of them saying, "we're going back to the joint." Driving to the super club on Euclid avenue, the two suspects parked the car in the rear. Taking La France to the rear kitchen door, they ordered him to knock. Durwood E. DeForest, an employee of the club, who was still working there said he was apparently blinded by dust from another cycle as he came out of a turn, and his machine crashed into the fence at approximately 50 miles per hour. Lasater is survived by his widow, Patsy, and his mother, Mrs. Opal Townsend, both of this city. Fliers injury, death, or property damage in excess of $100. The report must be made on forms provided by DMV and must be submitted within 15 days of the date of the accident. The drivers involved in the accident must take such reports, regardless of time for causing it. These reports are in addition to any referred by local police. Mason said that drivers and owners may exempt themselves from the security posting and suspension provisions of the law establishing their financial responsibility. The most common method of doing this is to show the reporting form that the driver was insured under an auto liability insurance policy for at least $11,000 at the time of the incident. He said the department prepared a leaflet explaining exemptions and other features of amended law, available from DMV offices. Dealers, banks, and auto-facing firms throughout the state have been notified of a new division limiting transfer of title to a vehicle whose registration plates have been suspended. Chispa Chapter O. E. S. Holds Annual Breakfast Chispa Chapter 151, O. E. S. held their annual breakfast at the Anaheim city park last Sunday morning, from 7 a.m. to 12 noon.
