City Council Revises Dog Kennel Ordinance Anaheim City Council, at the meeting last Tuesday evening, revised the ordinance governing the operation of dog kennels other than veterinarian establishments. The proposed revision will require the owners of kennels to pay an annual license of $18 on kennels accommodating from three to 10 dogs, or $24 for 11 or more, rather than the individual dog license fees now taxed. If this revision is adopted, the larger kennels will pay a lower license fee. Kennels under the present zoning laws, may be opened only in M-1 zones, although any kennel in existence may continue if an area is annexed to the city. A decision on the license ordinance was held over for further study. Other business transacted at the meeting was the opening of bids and the awarding of contracts to two companies. The first of these was the bid for the extension of sewer facilities along Master Street, which went to the low bidder, Edmund L. Barkley Co., for $35,539. Contract for the supply of liquid chlorine for the city water department for the coming year was awarded the Braun Corp. of Los Angeles, who was low bidder at $4.69 per hundred-weight. The city will use some 150 tons of chlorine in the coming year, which will amount to approximately Business Level At Highest Peak In History Of Area Business volume in the southern half of California was at a higher level during the first half of 1956 than during any previous 6-month period in the history of the area, James F. McWaters, manager of Security-First National Bank's Anaheim branch, announced today. Quoting from the bank's monthly summary of business conditions for last month he said that business activity for the southern half of California advanced moderately and was up 4 per cent as compared to a year ago. For nearly a year, however, the over-all business trend has been practically horizontal. The past six months averaged 6 per cent above the first half of 1955, but only 8-10 of one per cent above the second half of that record year, bank researchers revealed.

The city clerk told councilors at the Tuesday council meet that the total assessed valuation of the area was $933,323, of which amount owned by opponents was $151,931, less than the required 50 percent of the total assessed valuation to halt the annexation proceedings. She explained that the original opponent petition represented $231,031 of the assessed valuation, however, and her petition to withdraw names from the protest petition was submitted, thus reducing original amount by $80,430. This is a matter of $42,530 of assess property which can't be verified on the county assessment re-stated Mrs. Williams. Several residents of the same were present at the Tuesday meeting and sold of the copy.

Child Delinquency Problem Probed By Family Service Case histories of actual examples of juvenile delinquency, into which Family Service Association of Orange county has been called to correct home conditions which brought about youthful misbehavior, were cited today by James May, Executive Director of Family Service. "These cases," said May,. "not only show the urgent need for corrective action, but also the value of family counseling when the problem is handled in time." Unfortunately our limited facilities prevent us from handling all the cases that have called for help. We have more than 150 families waiting for our counseling; and it is very disturbing to us that we cannot get to them, especially because some of them need attention right now, in order to save children from serious delinquency," said May. If we had the funds, we could expand our facilities to handle these urgent cases. It really is a matter for serious public concern, chiefly, of course, for her welfare of these children, but also because of the resulting cost to society when even one child represents $231,031 of the sessed valuation, however, and petition to withdraw the names from the protest petition was submitted, thus reducing its original amount by $80,430. There is a matter of $42,530 of assessed property which can't be verified on the county assessment report stated Mrs. Williams. Several residents of the area were present at the Tuesday meeting and asked of the court what zoning changes would make if the area were annexed to the City of Anaheim. They were told by Mayor Pearson that an area is annexed to the city R-A residential-agricultural, with the exception of those properties with prior established uses which may require zones covering commercial, industrial and special uses. These would be so soon unless they were ruled a nuisance through complaints of nearby property owners. The question of sewer facility was also raised and City Administrator Keith Murdock explained that tentative plans for a public station at the corner of Road and Knott Ave., to put sewage to the Magnolia trail, will serve the Stanton Avenue and west Anaheim annexation areas. He stated that if Ball-Dale area comes into City of Anaheim, the pres plans will be altered to include service to that area. Mrs. Viola A. DuBo Passes Away Sat. Mrs. Viola A. DuBois, born Pennsylvania 67 years ago in a resident of Anaheim for months, the home being at N. Palm Street, died Saturday morning at the Orange County General Hospital after an extended illness. She is survived by one daughter, Miss Mildred DuBois of Francisco; one son, Richard DuBois of Pico and two grand sons. Funeral services were held Halsted & Co.

The graduation exercises, marking the end of nine weeks of "boot camp," will include a full dress parade and review before military officials and civilian dignitaries. Among the student pilots receiving advanced training at the Naval Auxiliary Air Station, Kingsville, Tex., is Naval Aviation Cadet Fred R. Thoele, son of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Thoele of 10472 Lincoln, Anaheim. Before entering the service he attended Fullerton Junior College, Fullerton. If we had the funds, we could expand our facilities to handle these urgent cases. It really is a matter for serious public concern, chiefly, of course, for he welfare of these children, but also because of the resulting cost to society when even one child became delinquent. When you multiply that cost by the number of young children becoming delinquent, or threatened with delinquency throughout Orange county today, whose families want help but cannot get it because lack of funds prevents corrective aid from reaching them, the realization is startling." May cited one Orange County family of six children, four of whom have become delinquent because of conditions in the home. The mother, feeling herself to be an unworthy person, took two ways of finding relief. One was to "run down" her husband, so that she could feel superior to him. The other was to spend money lavishly on clothing or furniture. This ran the family into debt. The husband then worked on two jobs, to increase his income. The wife then accused him of infidelity, because he was away from home so much. The husband finally started drinking and became an alcoholic. Their eight year old and eleven year old daughters became involved in sex misbehavior. A son, 13, and another daughter, (Continued on Page 4) Post Office to Extend Delivery According to an announcement by Congressman James Utt, city delivery service will extended in the subdivision bounded by Kiama and Wall Streets and Appollo Avenue, a residential development bounded by Level and Broadway Avenues and Monument and Gilbert Streets, effective August 3, 1996.

DDD Explained Anaheim Users' PRospect-4 Phenomena Behind-the-scenes activity Direct Distance Dialing—the August 19 for PRospect-4 visual and two-party subscriber in Anaheim—included the ing of a numbering plan to entire US and Canada. A berng plan code is a design given to an area for the purpose of routing calls through Distance Dialing. When it became apparent operators—and later customers would begin dialing beyond local areas, it was no practical to use a city map identify a distant area. An al numbering plan was not plan whereby each telephone nation and parts of it would be given a designated ferent from all other telephones. Under the national number plan a customer's number DDD consists of three parish area code (for example New York), the prefix (PLaza-5) and the telephone ber (something like 0599). Thus an Anaheim suburb with an individual or two PRospect-4 number wish call a typical New York parish would dial 212, then PLaza to reach the desired tel and automatic equipment complete the connection as the number is distinct all others in the nation. The numbering plan will include no more than one province. There are states and provinces with number each. More provinces require additional New York has six California has four. Two of these southern California. IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRG HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago... August—1881 The past week has been one of anxiety regarding President Garfield. The stoppage of the flowitions is $79,600, which makes the taxable property in the county amount to $20,101,157.

IN THE DAYS OF LONG AGO 75 Years Ago... August—1881 The past week has been one of anxiety regarding President Garfield. The stoppage of the flow of pus from the wound caused a relapse and necessitated a surgical operation on last Sunday. This relieved the patient for a time, but he had to undergo a second operation on Tuesday, since which time his condition has steadily improved. The hopeful anticipations of recovery lately indulged in have been dissipated and there is no disguising the fact that the president is in a precarious condition. He has not only the bullet wounds to contend with but a vitiated atmosphere as well. Half a score of White House employees are down with malarial fever. Mr. J. A. Wiley, the carrier of the mail between Anaheim and Westminster, informs us that the citizens of Garden Grove and Westminster have contributed enough to justify him in making daily trips. A petition is being circulated asking the Postoffice Department to establish a mail route between here and Westminster via Garden Grove. The Board of Supervisors sitting as a Board of Equalization have arjourned. The amount raised over the assessed valuation is $79,600, which makes the taxable property in the county amount to $20,101,157. The levy will be fixed at the August meeting of the board. Unless some untoward event occurs, the fireman's picnic next Sunday will be a huge affair. Advices from Los Angeles say that the entire fire department of that city will be here and will bring a band with them. Personal items — Among recent arrivals at Anaheim Landing are Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hermann and family and Mrs. Arthur Hermann and family. — Mr. M. L. Goodman is quaffing sulphur water at Fulton Wells. — Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Leonard and D. W. C. Cowan and daughters are off on a trip to San Diego. — Victor Montgomery Esq. has taken up his residence on his farm on Santiago Creek, the better to superintend the management of his property. He will be at his office in Anaheim every day except Tuesdays and Fridays. The Union Brass Band of Anaheim organized last Saturday by electing the following officers: H.

Supervisors Settlement of the clash over dedication of the right-of-way and paving for the highway in front of the Western Junior High School and Brookhurst Junior High School in exchange for permission by the County Board of Supervisors to move quonset huts for emergency uses onto these school grounds brought a modification of the original permit. Demands were tacked onto the permit granting the quonset huts question if the school board of trustees would tear out existing curbs and gutters and move them back ten feet for widening and improving the streets adjacent to the schools. The disagreement was settled when the board was advised by the school legal counsel that requirements of dedication of rights-of-way and installation of paving demanded by the county planning commission in return for granting the variance permit was illegal. The Anaheim Union High School Board of Trustees were DDD Explained To Anaheim Users On PRospect-4 Pho. Behind-the-scenes activity for direct Distance Dialing—to start August 19 for PRospect-4 individual and two-party subscribers. Anaheim—included the devising of a numbering plan for the entire US and Canada. A numbering plan code is a designation given to an area for the purpose of routing calls through Direct Distance Dialing. When it became apparent that operators—and later customers—would begin dialing beyond their local areas, it was no longer practical to use a city name to identify a distant area. A national numbering plan was needed, a plan whereby each telephone in the nation and parts of Canada would be given a designation different from all other telephones. Under the national numbering plan a customer's number for DD consists of three parts—the area code (for example 212 in New York), the prefix (such as Laza-5) and the telephone number (something like 0599). Thus an Anaheim subscriber with an individual or two-party PRospect-4 number wishing to call a typical New York number would dial 212, then PL 5-0599 to reach the desired telephone and automatic equipment would complete the connection easily, as the number is distinct from all others in the nation. The numbering plan will include no more than one state or province. There are about 40 states and provinces with one number each. More populated states require additional codes.
