Instruction Books On DD Dialing In Mail Tomorrow Small orange-and-white-covered booklets with detailed instructions on how to place Direct Distance Dialing calls will be mailed to Anaheim PRospect-4 individual and two-part telephone subscribers tomorrow, August 10, according to Pacific Telephone district manager Jack Buchart. The new system, enabling those PRospect-4 users to dial their own long distance calls to over 200 places in southern California and 22 other major sections of the country will be cut into service August 19. "The booklets are the most important part of our instruction program," Buchart said. "We have included answers to anticipated questions people might have about DDD. We hope everyone will keep the booklet handy when dailing his own long distance calls." "For example, here's how DDD will work in dailing New York City: Dial the area code, such as '212' for New York City, then dial the desired telephone number, making sure it has two letters and a numeral in the prefix such as MUrrayhill 8-9000." Average time for completion of calls under the new system will be less than 30 seconds. Anaheim Industry-Education Day Is Set for Sept. 6 More than 400 Anaheim school teachers and clergymen will be day-long guests of local industries and the Anaheim city government during Industry-Education Day, Sept. 6, it was announced today by Mike Hullett, general chairman of Anaheim's annual Industrial Progress Week. The teacher visitation will be a part of a four day program being sponsored by the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce and the Anaheim Area Industrial Group, Northern Orange County, to show the close relationship among business and industry, the schools and the public. In addition, several industries and the Anaheim city government will hold "open house" for the public during the week, industrial exhibits will be placed in the windows of downtown Anaheim merchants and speakers will address community groups on city-industry relationships. The week will be ushered in on Sept. 4 by a display of the wide variety of equipment required to service the City of Anaheim. The vehicles ranging from fire engines to spray rigs and motorcycles will be placed on display prior to a "parade" through downtown Anaheim. The City Hall display was one of the highlights of Industrial Progress Week in 1955 and is being celebrated that the 20 days allowed for filling of such objections had lapsed and there could no longer Sherwood Forest Residents Claim Lack of Notice Claiming the lack of proper notification, residents of Sherwood Forest subdivision on Brookhurst Road appeared at the Anaheim City Council meeting last Tuesday evening to protest a variance which was granted to Don Wells and Associates, developers who had requested the variance so they may construct a cocktail lounge, restaurant and various shops in the residential tract. The variance was granted last May 21 after residents of the area had not appeared before the council to protest the proposed change. City officials stated that proper posting of the matter had been made in accordance with the law governing such matters. However they admitted that since the names of the individual residents did not at that time appear on the assessment rolls, there was no way in which each property owner could be notified by direct mail. Early this month, 129 property owners in the area affected by the variance presented a petition objecting to the installation of the commercial development near their homes. The council explained that the 20 days allowed for filing of such objections had lapsed and there could no longer Milton Shirley Celebrates 97th Birthday Sunday In celebration of her father's 97th birthday, last Sunday Mrs. Ida Shirley Dahlstrom of Lynwood was hostess to 42 close relatives. The gathering represented five generations of his family. Mr. Shirley is able to enjoy life to the fullest even though his years are many in number. Having suffered a stroke about six months ago, he is a little slower walking and doesn't see too well, which is no hindrance to the enjoyment of his family and many friends. Mr. Shirley, whose home is at 651 Orange Ave., Anaheim, was born on July 31, 1859 in Connemaugh Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. When he grew to young manhood, he took his father's estate, who died in the Civil War, and started west through Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and the Dakotas. He spent seven years in the middle west, teaching school before coming to California in 1891. He soon began work in the assessor's office under Jacob Ross, the first assesor in Orange County, after it was cut off from Los Angeles County and became a county of its own. Mr. Shirley continued with this job until his eyesight became very bad and he sought other work. He recalls that he cast his first vote in Andover, Illinois. Also vivid in his recollections is the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, at which time he was five years old. He has resided in Orange County and Anaheim since arriving in California. The week will be ushered in on Sept. 4 by a display of the wide variety of equipment required to service the City of Anaheim. The vehicles ranging from fire engines to spray rigs and motorcycles will be placed on display prior to a "parade" through downtown Anaheim. The City Hall display was one of the highlights of Industrial Progress Week in 1955 and is being repeated due to many requests, Hullett said. During Industry - Education Day, Sept. 6, the teachers and clergy will visit many of the plants in the Anaheim-Fullerton area where they will be shown production work and other management phases by executives of the companies. The purpose of the meetings is to give the educators a clearer understanding of how industry operates and what it must achieve to stay in business. The organizations which will be hosts to school teachers and clergymen include, Anaheim City Hall, Boss Overall, Delco, Electra Motors, Gelvatex, Interstate Precision Products, Kimberly-Clark (Fullerton), Kwikset, Merrifield Trucking, P & L Transmission, Photographic Products, Richfield Laboratory, Rinshed-Mason, Robertshaw-Fulton, F. C. Russell, Sioux Honey Assn., and Sylvania (Fullerton). Chairman of Industry-Education Day is Robert Daily of Delco Battery Operations. The tentative list of industries which will hold "open house" during the week includes Boss Overall, Delco, Kwikset, P & L Transmission, U.S. Industrial Chemicals, Robt-shaw-Fulton, and Gelvatex. The City of Anaheim also will open its departments for guided tours. Paul Faranda, Open House Chairman, says other industries will be added to the list. Hullett said other committee chairmen are Clyde Cromer, Wynn Friday, Larry Blodgett, Max Besler and Herb Perry. Dick Gay and Gtorge Strachan represent the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, while Hullett represents the Anaheim Area Industrial Group. Residents asked the council if there was any way in which the variance could be revoked, the city attorney then advised them it could be revoked if they had good cause. If the residents can prove they were not properly notified or the procedure was improperly executed, they may then have a cause to ask the recall. The only recourse the council may have is to re-open the hearing to determine if there is a good reason for revoking the variance, according to the city attorney. The developers have done some grading on the site where they plan to build, it is reported. In order to further hear the pros and cons of the problem, the city council voted to hold a public hearing on the variance on Aug. 28. RC Chapter Hears Report on "Doria" Disaster in N.Y.

Residents of the area, which is zoned C-1, protested the construction as being noisy late at night which would disturb the neighborhood; would devaluate the property with resultant financial losses; increase of traffic burdens on narrow residential streets, and danger to children; increase in juvenile delinquency; attraction of undesirables to the vicinity, and an undesirable atmosphere, for the raising of children. The planners denied the variance on the grounds the plot had been zoned C-1 in 1954, before homeowners had bought, that they had bought with the understanding it must remain C-1, and therefore the planning commission could in no way violate the trust of the residents.

From its extended season, offering four more days of fair this year than the six-day 1955 season offered, right on down through the list of exhibits, special events and expanded premium list, the Orange County Fair presents a picture of growth and expansion which is almost literally splitting the seams of building and facilities on the fair grounds. Reports from every department in which competition for premiums is held indicated that entries in the 1956 fair are at an all-time high. The big agriculture department drew entries from 1800 4-H and Future Farmers of America youths from throughout Orange County—showing everything from dairy cattle and goats to prize fruits and vegetables and sewing handwork.

S. Sen. Thomas H. Kuchel has reported the long fight to determine the official California-Arizona boundary has virtually ended with passage by the Senate of a bill to negotiate a formal compact fixing the state lines along the Colorado River. The bill awaits the President's signature. Kuchel is a member of the Senate Public Works Committee and has long worked to bring about an amicable settlement of the boundary dispute. The California lawmaker said passage of the Colorado River Boundary Commission Bill was threatened by a controversy over civil rights which blocked all reports during the closing week of the session from the Senate Judiciary Committee to which the bill had been referred. Kuchel conferred with leaders and members of the committee to smooth the way for the final favorable report on the bill. California and Arizona officials have long been eager to formalize understandings reached informally by state commissions. The bill provides that a citizen not residing in either state must participate in official negotiations. The compact establishing the boundary will not be effective until ratified by legislatures of both states and approved by congress. Kuchel said determination of the boundary is "imparative because of jurisdictional squabbles intensified by the construction of dams. The two states have been in conflict about taxing powers, enforcement of fish and game laws, water use, and health and safety because of a lack of a precise boundary," the Californian declared. Historically the middle of the stream has been the interstate line, Kuchel pointed out, but the wanderings of the river have made it difficult to determine where the boundary was Sept. 9, 1850, when the California Constitution was adopted.
