New Orange County Radio Station Application Filed Northern Orange County will have its own radio broadcasting station if an application filed today in Washington, D.C., is approved by the Federal Communications Commission. Five Anaheim and Fullerton civic leaders in association with a group of southern California radio men asked the federal agency for permission to construct a new 1000-watt radio station to operate on 1190 kilocycles. "It is our plan to make this a real local interest venture," said Joseph R. Scholz, Anaheim, vice president of the group, which operates under the corporate name of Radio Orange County, Inc. "The long residence in Orange County of several of the members of our organization assures that programs will be planned to fill the needs of our area," he said. "We are fortunate to have some outstanding broadcasters in the project. President is Cliff Gill, who has been in radio station managemen­ment in southern California for more than ten years. Gill has served as vice president in charge of operations of the popular Catalina Station, KBIG, since its inception, but he is so impressed with the tremendous growth of Orange County that he will come here to manage the station if the construction permit is granted," said Scholz. Other Orange County persons connected with the endeavor include Cecil C. Crew, Fullerton was an executive of NBC and CBS, and until recently served as program director of KFWB, a leading independent radio station in Hollywood. Sheldon, who has maintained an interest in Orange County since he taught high school in Fullerton 25 years ago, operates his own radio-television advertising agency in Los Angeles. Margolin is an engineer with more than 20 years' experience in radio and television in southern California.

ANNEXATION, ZONINGS GIVE CITY COUNCIL BUSY SESSION The City Council had another busy session last Tuesday evening when petitions were presented asking for annexation to Anaheim and several requests for rezoning came before the council members. Proponents of annexation of the Midwood Manor area that lies to the south and west of Anaheim, presented enough petition signatures to get the go ahead from the City Council in their desire to become a part of Anaheim. The original petition submitted two weeks ago contained an insufficient number of signatures to permit setting of a public hearing after those who did not qualify by law to sign were stricken from the list. The proponents then had another ten days to secure additional signatures and present the supplemental petition, which was done Tuesday evening. Of the 275 signers, the city clerk verified 237 as qualified signers, which represented more than the required 25 per cent of the total qualified voters residing in the area. The public hearing was set for May 14. Midwood Manor Annexation is Bacon Retires From Edison Co., J. A. Long Named R. E.

Midwood Manor Annexation is bounded on the east by Euclid Avenue and the present city limits, on the north by the city limits, on the south by Katella Aveneue and on the west by Brookhurst Avenue. Seven public hearings came before the council also, one of which consumed a lot of time in argument. Opposing the erection of a distribution center for 7-Up Bottling Company, the owners of the new Orangewood Acres Trailer Park stated the business would create a noisy disturbance and jeopardize his business enough to make a nuisance to trailer dwellings in the park. Russ Boorey, operator of the trailer park, stated the plot of ground was too small to permit an installation of the size the plant would require and which lies next to the trailer park. The site is on Orangewood Avenue and Santa Ana Freeway. Owners of Melrose Abbey Funeral Chapel presented a petition opposing the proposed 7-Up plant. Adjacent home owners also opposed the plant. Reclassification was granted John A. and Ruth M. Stinson who had asked the change on property on the south side of Lincoln Avenue and east of the Southern California Edison Company's right-of-way from R-A to C-1 and R-3 commercial and multiple-residential. Robert L. Wetzler requested and was granted rezoning of property at the northeast corner of Stanton Avenue and Ball Road to C-3 or heavy commercial. A development of small shops on a site south of Lincoln Avenue and east of Magnolia Avenue was also approved after no objections to the C-1 rezoning were voiced. Requesting the change was AngMay 1, ending 40 years of service with the company. According to an announcement by J. H. Mead, Edison vice president, Bacon will be succeeded here by J. A. Long, currently the company's district manager at Santa Barbara. Rod, as Bacon's host of friends in and out of the company know him, has achieved an enviable R.E. Bacon record of community service, Mead noted. As one of the original 100 members of Santa Ana's industrial committee, he was an early leader in the movement to encourage industrial development here. He also has been one of the main boosters for a new civic center in Santa Ana. Bacon served for a number of years as chairman of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce's civic affairs committee and has been a director of the local Lions Club, the Santa Ana Businessman's Association and the Santa Ana Credit Association. He is an Elk and a member of the Tulare Ma-sonie Lodge, past commander Santa Ana Post 131, American Legion. Bacon started work with the Edison Company in 1917 as an assistant power engineer in Los Angeles. After time out for World War I military service, he returned to the company as a following a "coffee break," the north district Mothersingers will present musical selections. two-minute reports will be pre-ceded by Garden Grove, Harbor, Bellington Union, Orange and Santa Ana P-TA councils. Robert L. Wetzler requested and was granted rezoning of property at the northeast corner of Stanton Avenue and Ball Road to C-3 or heavy commercial. A development of small shops on a site south of Lincoln Avenue and east of Magnolia Avenue was also approved after no objections to the C-1 rezoning were voiced. Requesting the change was Angelo J. Scaglione. A request for a special use permit to establish a five-space trailer park on the east side of Stanton Avenue, north of Orange Avenue, was held over for further study after residents of the area strongly objected to the idea. Asking the permit were Warren and Elizabeth Day who propose to operate the trailer park. The objects claim the proposed park is too close to their homes, the lot which they claim is too small and the noise and traffic which it would create. The hearing will be resumed on April 16. John and Helen Fuquay presented a request for a variance to erect a service station on the southeast corner of Ball Road and Western Avenue, which was denied on the strength of the arguments of residents adjacent the corner. They argued that a service station was not needed in the area since there was another station within a block of the corner. Three bids for city improvements were awarded and notice of intention to advertise for bids on four additional jobs were also business matters discussed. The Sully Miller Company received a contract for improvement of the alley north of Broadway, between Santa Ana Post 131, American Legion. Bacon started work with the Edison Company in 1917 as an assistant power engineer in Los Angeles. After time out for World War I military service, he returned to the company as a special agent. He was named district manager at Delano in 1920 and he served in the same capacity in Edison's Tulare district from 1927 until he came to Santa Ana in 1929. Reminiscing about his long career in Santa Ana, Bacon recalled that there were only 12 electric ranges in the entire district when he first came here. Today, of course, thousands of Santa Ana residents have electric ranges, he pointed out. Upon retirement, Rod and Mrs. Bacon plan an extensive vacation trip. After a few weeks of jousting with rainbow trout on
