33rd Hallowe’en Festival Starts Sat. At Breakfast Phone Directory Delivery Starts Mon. In Anaheim Hide anything in last year’s telephone directory? Like maybe a four leaf clover, income tax refund or the pink slip to Dad’s Super Six? It’d probably be a good idea to give the old tome a good shakedown because you won’t have it around much longer. A newcomer is taking its place—the new 1956 Orange County directory. Scheduled to start delivery Monday, Oct. 29, the book features a new-look gray and yellow front cover. A house plan points out the advantages for colored extension telephones in adjoining rooms and reference is made to the new Yellow Pages index at the rear of the classified section. Initial distribution of the directory is estimated at 154,000 copies. Nearly 120,000 listings will make up the 1264-page volume. Last year’s directory had 128 fewer pages, 40,000 less listings and was 57,000 copies short of this year’s record delivery. The 33rd annual Anaheim Hallowe’en Festival is in readiness for local citizens to enjoy the celebrated occasion which will start Saturday morning with a costume breakfast at City Park. Costumes are not mandatory but if a person cares to wear a costume of some sort, it will add much to the gaiety of the event. The breakfast is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. and will be over by 9 o’clock so the working people my get to their jobs. A calliope will awaken citizens early in the morning to summon them to the breakfast, which is expected to draw 2500 persons. Oscar Schultz is at the neml of the festivities this year and along with his committees, has worked hard to coordinate the entire festival into a smooth running program. Beginning at 7 a.m., festivities will include the selection of Miss Hallowe’en who will reign as queen of the festival and will ride on the queen’s float in the parade on Wednesday evening, Oct. 31. A delightful program is also planned following the breakfast. Saturday afternoon, nearly 5000 Anaheim school children will participate in the Kiddies Hallowe’en costume parade scheduled to begin 1 p.m. at Emily and East Center Street, then proceed through the downtown business district. Paul Cook is chairman of this event. Roger C. Bebout Claimed By Death Roger C.

Lynn A Initial distribution of the directory is estimated at 154,000 copies. Nearly 120,000 listings will make up the 1264-page volume. Last year's directory had 128 fewer pages, 40,000 less listings and was 57,000 copies short of this year's record delivery. TB Association Needs Volunteers To Prepare Mailing The Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association is one organization, which counts the hours and weeks before Christmas and the count of hours begins early in October. It will take almost 1000 hours of volunteer work for the TB association to get its part of the local Christmas season into operation. More than 914 hours of varied mailing operations are in store for volunteers who will help the association send out Christmas Seals for 1956 to 127,000 residents of Orange County. Included in the task is the sorting of 19,000 addresses, the sorting of 91,000 envelopes, stuffing and sealing of 127,000 envelopes. Miss Ann K. Haney, executive secretary of the association, estimates rates at which the work can be accomplished—based on past performance of volunteers. Volunteers who want to while-away some of the hours working for the TB association should contact Miss Haney at 1104 W. 8th St., Santa Ana, KImberly 2-7213. VFW Auxiliary Hear Work Report Various reports of work accomplished since the last regular meeting of the Anaheim VFW Auxiliary were heard at the meeting last Monday at the VFW Hall on No. Philadelphia Street, Mrs. Merle Carroll, president, presiding. The Auxiliary welcomed a guest, Mrs. Willene Wishart, past president of Vienna, Ohio, VFW Auxiliary. Mrs. Lowell Gamble, Ways and Means chairman, reported that parade on Wednesday evening, Oct. 31. A delightful program is also planned following the breakfast. Saturday afternoon, nearly 5000 Anaheim school children will participate in the Kiddies Hallowe'en costume parade scheduled to begin 1 p.m. at Emily and East Center Street, then proceed through the downtown business district. Paul Cook is chairman of this event. Children representing every grade school in Anaheim have been working for weeks on their costumes and decorating some of their "rolling stock", Cook pointed out. The Saturday date was selected for this event because many children in our schools are on double session and would not be available on a school day. In past years this event was held on a school day and the children were able to move to the parade ground from their schools but double sessions have made it feasible to hold it on Saturday this year so that all youngsters could participate. Oscar Schultz, general chairman, stated, "the parade is one of few minor reasons for having the Hallowe'en Festival and I urge all citizens to be on hand along the parade route to enjoy the fun and applaud the youngsters." Another event for the children will be one which prevents a lot of anguish and the expenditure of elbow grease throughout the city by means of the Window Art Contest to begin on Saturday and will remain until Oct. 30, when the judging will be made. The kids are encouraged to display their artistic ability with their paintings on the downtown windows, using the Hallowe'en theme. Prizes are awarded for various grades and classifications. Anaheim, 33 years ago, was the first community in the nation to sponsor a kiddies window Hallowe'en art contest and since that time, the idea has spread to many cities in the nation. The climax of the festival is the Hallowe'en Parade on Wednesday evening, Oct. 31, beginning at 6:45 p.m. The parade will begin at La Palma Park stadium and will then proceed to Los Angeles.

Unit one is already in the planning stage and is not included in the bond issue. Also completed and dedicated a year ago in the center are the new medical and welfare buildings. County supervisors favor the bonding method over the "pay-as-you-go" system. It is the quickest way to get needed space and taxpayers over the next 40 years will help to pay as they use the facilities. Units 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are provided for in Proposition A.

Unit already in the planning is not included in the state. Also completed and a year ago in the center new medical and welfare supervisors favor the method over the "pay system. It is the quick-to get needed space and over the next 40 years to pay as they use the Units 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 led for in Proposition built on a foundation allow addition of more the future, and the cost includes furnishings, equipment, sidewalks, curbs and off-street parking, besides material for the exterior which will never need additional maintenance. Proposition B is planned to add 360 beds to the county's general hospital with a $5,605,000 bond issue. No eligible patient may be denied medical care by the county if he needs it. There has been an increase of from 500 to 600 per cent in patient load over the late '30's and '40's. In the same period, the aged-ill group has shown over a 1000 per cent increase. Proposition C will provide the mentally ill in Orange County adequate facilities for their care. The proposed psychiatric hospital will cost $1,655,000. The existing unit for the care of the mentally ill was built almost a half century ago. The new building will have a capacity of 97 beds, courtrooms, offices and a physical therapy unit. Included in Propositions B and C, also, are furnishings, equipment, curbs, sidewalks and landscaping, as well as off-street parking. Proposition D appears on the ballot to establish an industrial farm. The $250,000 provided is a negligible sum, but it will construct buildings for the purpose of housing inmates, purchase furnishings and equip an honor farm in Orange County. Supervisors are convinced this is an economical and practical answer to the rehabilitation of those who have been found guilty of a misdemeanor or petty crime. An honor farm would provide a place for such offenders to work out their debts to society rather than spend idle hours in jail listening to hardened criminals. This is a moral obligation the supervisors feel follows the program of most counties in the state. All of the projects except the industrial farm will be constructed on land presently owned by the county. Canyon sites, away from crowded population centers, are being considered by the board. Delay in voting favorably on a county bond issue two years ago has already cost Orange County $1 million dollars, according to Cy Featherly, supervisor.

Adjacent to the Santa Ana free-air at the west edge of Anaheim, the new research center is a 20-acre, landscaped site comparable to a university campus. Its modern, one-story structures include a laboratory building. School Bonds Pass By Big Majority Tuesday Election Anaheim citizens voted the $6,000,000 Union High School bonds in by a majority of 7 to 1, even though a third of the registered voters exercised their privilege as a citizen. There are almost 17,000 persons registered and only 5,473 voted for the bonds while 820 voted against them. The bonds will be spread over a period of five years for construction of new schools and enlargement of present facilities. The rapid growth of the enrollment has placed a heavy burden on the existing schools, necessitating double sessions in all the junior and senior high schools. Brookhurst Junior High School facilities will be enlarged and Western Junior High School will be converted to a senior high school in order to provide high school in the western part of the city. Two complete new junior high schools are to be constructed; one in the western part of Anaheim. Furniture and equipment will be provided for the added facility.

The Orange County Branch of the California National Fuchsia Society will hold the regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 30, at 8 p.m., in Legion Hall, 936 N. Lemon Street, in Anaheim. A real old time Hallowe'en party is planned and members and guests are asked to come in costume. Prizes will be awarded for the most unusual, most comical and the most unique costume. There will be a Harvest Home table, instead of the usual plant sale table, and every one is asked to bring jam, jelly, canned or fresh fruit or vegetables, or any food that will be attractive, and will fit in with the Hallowe'en theme. Loren Paulsohn will bring a program of 3D films of fuchsias from his and other gardens and from various shows. Sandwiches and coffee served at the social hour. Our Servicemen Harry C. Jordan, radarman seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Jordan of 9902 Kenmore, Anaheim, aboard the destroyer USS Isbell, left San Diego, Calif., Sept. 24 for a six-month cruise in the western Pacific. Four ships of Destroyer Division 112 are making the voyage. Robert H. Stebbins, radarman third class, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell H. Stebbins of 829 S. Philadelphia St., Anaheim, and husband of the former Miss Ellen B. Johnston of Orange, is serving aboard the destroyer USS Wiltsle in the Far East. It was emphasized that early announcement of safety regulations is being made so that plans for decorations can be made to conform and thus necessity for later changes can be avoided. Among the most frequent which create hazards, according to commission engineers who made inspections last year, are: decorations which are too low, impairing clearance above the street or sidewalk; improper insulation on the span wire from which decorations are suspended; Span wires of inadequate strength; installation of ungrounded and unlocked switch boxes within reach of public; obstruction of pole climbing space; decorative wires or conduits which are too close to high voltage street light fixtures. Under state law, the commission is responsible for enforcement of rules for overhead line construction. In order to assist in assuring that Christmas decorations meet safety requirements the commission last year sent copies of a mimeographed guide to cities, counties, utilities, chambers of commerce, decorators and contractors throughout the state. Copies of the guide probably can be obtained from one of these sources, but if not they may be obtained from commission offices in the State Building, San Francisco, or at 145 South Spring Street Los Angeles. Inquiries should be addressed: Attention Electric Section. The manufacture of cotton textiles was first developed in India.
