Anaheim Has More Than 60,000 Population: Census The recently completed census has been officially certified and word has been received from the Federal Census Bureau in Washington, D.C. that Anaheim now has 60,327 citizens. The census was taken in December, 1956, and shows a total of 17,417 homes were occupied at the time the special census was made. The official count shows a surplus of women, the total breaking down as follows: 29,268 males and 60,359 females. There are 60,200 Caucasians in the city and 307 non-whites. The total count represents an increase of nearly 400 per cent over the local census taken five years ago. City Clerk Dene Williams stated that since the census was taken two months ago, it is already incorrect. The various new annexations have increased the population since that time and with the annexations now in process of becoming a part of the City of Anaheim, city officials can expect a further substantial increase.

It will be the camping and training center for almost 6,000 Scouts and volunteer leaders of the 104 Boy Scout groups scattered throughout northern Orange County. President Herbst advises that prior to 1955, the Northern Orange County Boy Scout Council had been trying to do the best possible job by using the Santa Ana Boy Scout camping property, under a cooperative arrangement. He explains this was no longer feasible after 1954, because of the expanding membership of the Orange Empire Scout Council, which has its headquarters in Santa Ana.

The Northern Orange County Boy Scout Council had been trying to do the best possible job by using the Santa Ana Boy Scout camping property, under a cooperative arrangement. He explains this was no longer feasible after 1954, because of the expanding membership of the Orange Empire Scout Council, which has its headquarters in Santa Ana. The Northern Orange County Boy Scout Council, with headquarters in Anaheim, was chartered in April, 1955, with 209 Scouts in nine groups, and now has 4,100 Scouts in 104 units. The executive board of the Northern Orange County Boy Scout Council, consisting of 32 representative citizens from all sections of northern Orange County, has been making a very careful study of this problem since the council was first organized. They are of the unanimous opinion that in order to operate a camp that will at least meet the minimum standards for good Scout camping, this development program is absolutely essential. They feel this "Once In A Generation" capital funds campaign for $185,000 is a reasonable investment on behalf of the thousands of present and future Scouts of northern Orange County. The purchase price of the property is $51,000, and the other funds will be used to develop this enchanted camping land as a Scouting reservation. "The Ahwahnee Reservation will be a year-round Boy Scout activities and training center when the development program is completed," declares president Herbst. There will be ample winterized facilities for year-round camping. The plan includes the (Continued on Page A-4)
