Mr. Trangas commended the Soroptimists International of Anaheim at their regular meeting held at Disneyland Gourmet Restaurant, Nicholas M. Trangas, Foreign Press Correspondent from Athens, Greece, told of Greek women their history and of their place in society today. Mr. Trangas commended the Soroptimists International of Anaheim at their regular meeting held at Disneyland Gourmet Restaurant, Nicholas M. Trangas, Foreign Press Correspondent from Athens, Greece, told of Greek women their history and of their place in society today. “Except for the differences created by economic conditions between America and Greece, there is a striking similarity in the place of women in the family and their position in society in general in Greece as in this country. While the father is the titular head of the family in Greece, the mother is its actual monarch when it comes to its internal affairs—home management, handling the family finances, etc.” In commenting on the acquisition of the Athens, Greece, Soroptimist Club as a sister club by Anaheim, Mr. Trangas stated, “America may be compared to a colossal tree. The bigger the tree the deeper and farther into the ground its roots must expand for its safe and normal development. The grounds on which the American tree develops are all the friendly countries of the world; one of the most vital ones for America’s safety is Greece.” Local Man Named To Insurance Co. Board of Directors Robert F. Harrison, 1540 Edithia Avenue, Anaheim, has been elected an assistant controller by the board of directors of Occidental Life Insurance Company of California. He will be manager of salary administration. Harrison joined Occidental in 1946 and has served as an assistant auditor since 1951. Born in Arkansas, Harrison attended business college in Shreveport, La. He served in the U.S. Coast Guard for three years during World War II. Stephen Orosco, son of Mrs. Lillian J. Mesloh of 2121 Crone Ave., Anaheim, graduated from recruit training May 25, at the Naval Training Center in San Diego. The graduation exercises, marking the end of nine weeks of "boot camp", included a full dress parade and review before military officials. Mr. Trangas spoke for the Soroptimists at the request of Christian A. Axelos, Royal Consul of Greece, San Francisco, who was unable to attend the meeting. Mr. Trangas is qualified for this type of mission especially because of his work as liaison between the Greek government and the movie industry, and the fact that he is in charge of the Greek Tourist Information Service. The climax of the meeting came with the presentation by Mr. Trangas of a Greek flag to Mrs. Phyllis Harrison, president of the Anaheim group. The Navy delivered a hundred million pounds of cargo to the Antarctic during Operation Deep freeze'. Chapels have been built at two Antarctic bases by Navy seabees working in their off-duty hours. 83 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1879 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Vol. LXXXIV—Anaheim, Orange County, Calif. 11 Thurs.

Funds raised at the coming Heart Assn. Meet Hear Reports, Elect Officers The Orange County Heart Association held its third annual meeting at the Gourment Restaurant, Disneyland Hotel, last Monday evening. Present were members and friends of the organization to hear of the year's progress of the voluntary health agency. Francis G. Mackey, M.D., of Fullerton, the retiring president presented the annual report and discussed the program of the association, the medical research program now underway in Los Angeles, the rheumatic fever study of children in Orange County, the work simplification course for handicapped homemakers, and the educational program for doctors and laymen. David I. Nielsen, M.D., of Newport Beach, presented the Heart Fund story and told of the need of maintaining the Heart Fund drive as a separate fund raising function of the association. The funds contributed to the Orange County Heart Association have increased from $5,000 in 1952. Report Funds for Camp Ahwahnee Over-the-Top, Anaheim Leading In a letter to all Camp Ahwahnee Development Fund drive workers, Adolf Schopee, general chairman of the drive, expressed his sincere thanks, on the part of the entire committee, for the splendid work accomplished. "I know that all of you are aware of the fact that our goal only included the minimum facilities required," he stated, "and many of the items may increase in cost before all our pledges are paid up and we are able to construct the projects. The swimming pool is one of the specific items that probably cannot be built at the estimated cost when the time comes." Mr. Schopee went on to say that due to the rapidly increasing population in this part of Orange County, additional facilities will most likely be required. In reminding the workers and the general public of this fact, he urged the workers to continue "to make every effort to clean up the prospect list which includes more than a thousand prospects who either were not called on or who were unable to give at this time." A permanent Camp Ahwahnee Fund Committee has been appointed, consisting of Tom Eadington, John Hagn, Wayne Herbst, Brown McPherson and Mr. Schopee, chairman. Funds collected and pledged until May 21 are as follows: Anaheim $60,120.50; Fullerton $60,120.50; Anaheim President-elect of the Magnolia Guild Chapter.

The 20-30 Club is in the process of reorganization and is growing in membership with each meeting.

Interesting programs are being planned for each meeting. All young business men in the age bracket of 20-35 are invited to become members. At an organizational meeting Tuesday night of last week, a group of local citizens selected the name "Garden Grove Forum" and announced that the purpose of the organization was to collect and disseminate facts and information on issues confronting Garden Grove and other west Orange County communities.

Final preparations for the 22nd annual Richards-Martin Dance Pageant to be presented on June 20, one night only, at the Anaheim Union High School auditorium is well under way, according to Anne Avon, owner of the popular studio.

Many students in past years have gone into higher work and have carved for themselves names prominent in the entertainment world. Anaheim Soroptimists International is sponsoring the event this year and all proceeds will go to their scholarship fund, designated this year for the nursing field. Tickets are available from any of the students of the dance studio or members of Anaheim Soroptimist.

Center St. O ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1879 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 11 Thursday, June 6, 1937 No. 1 Magazine Demands Recognition For Orange County in Reports, Etc. "Let's put Orange County on the Map!" is the editorial appeal carried in the current issue of the new Orange County Industrial News monthly magazine which goes on sale at local news stands this week. "Industrial News" points out that the phenomenal growth of Orange County population now is 577,000, is loost to the notice of industrial executives across the country because in official reports the county is not listed as a metropolitan area but has been included as a step-child in figures reported on the "Los Angeles Metropolitan Area," and is now included in the new "Los Angeles - Long Beach Metropolitan Area." "We are in the process of being annexed by statistical process," the magazine's publisher, Worth Bernard warns. "So great has been the growth of Orange County that if our figures were being reported separately in state and federal censuses reports our county would be at the "top of the list" of all major counties in the country (percentage-wise)—in recent population increases, employment increase, home building and retail sales," the editorial points out. The publication calls on Orange County's Postmaster Warns Parents, Keep Kids Off Postal Trucks Drivers of post office delivery trucks are experiencing considerable difficulty with small children riding on the rear of the trucks, it was reported by Acting Postmaster Marshall N. McFie. This occurs most frequently in the newly-built areas west of Anaheim and causes the drivers a great amount of anxiety for the safety of the children. "Our drivers all have special training in safe driving" stated the postmaster, "and every reasonable precaution will be taken to avoid accidents. However, we urge the parents to warn their children of the danger of serious injury that exists in catching rides on trucks. No injuries have been reported from this dangerous practice so far in Anaheim, but other nearby cities have had several serious injuries. We hope these can be avoided in Anaheim and we will be as careful as possible. However, we believe the parents must assume some of the responsibility for the safety of their own children," he concluded. The publication calls on Orange County's elected representatives at Sacramento and Washington and on Governor Knight and Vice President Nixon, all of whom "know from first-hand, on-the-scene visits" of the rapid growth of Orange County and "the need for putting Orange County on the map — statistically." First results from the appeal for recognition of Orange County came last Friday when representatives of the State Department of Employment, at the request of Governor Knight, visited Santa Ana and agreed to recommend that the department's "Los Angeles-Long Beach Labor Market Bulletin" be changed to "Los Angeles-Long Beach - Orange County Labor Market Bulletin." That would make the state bulletin more meaningful, they agreed, because the area covered in the report actually includes all of Los Angeles and Orange Counties. State Senator John Murdy has reported from Sacramento that Alan Post, Legislative Auditor, and John Pelce, State Director of Finance, "have not been in any way responsible for any system that would ignore Orange County." State Assemblyman Bruce Sumner replied suggesting that the Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles, which has an extensive research department issuing frequent economic reports, be asked "to separate Orange County from the Los Angeles-Long Beach Metropolitan Area in their reports." In its editorial, "Orange County Industrial News" offers to "arrange an airplane flight over Orange County (at no cost to the taxpayers) for any government official — state or federal — who has the power to recommend separate reporting for Orange County."

In its editorial, "Orange County Industrial News" offers to "arrange an airplane flight over Orange County (at no cost to the taxpayers) for any government official — state or federal — who has the power to recommend separate reporting for Orange County." The first such flight will take place Thursday afternoon when three representatives of the State Department of Employment will accompany 20 Orange County chamber of commerce and city officials on a flight over the county.

It will originate from Orange County Airport, and the local officials will help Pacific Air Industries select the aerial views to appear in the July issue of "Industrial News," the theme of which is to be "See Orange County from the Air."
