Anaheim Centennial Well Underway Huge Crowds Participating in Events The celebration of the Anaheim Centennial was highlighted last Sunday by two impressive religious services. Solemn high mass was held at St. Boniface Catholic Church, Rt. Rev. Monsignor Michael O'Connor, pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Santa Ana, being the celebrant. Rt. Rev. Monsignor Patrick Pierse, pastor of St. Boniface Church, delivered the centennial sermon. The welcome address at La Palma stadium was delivered by R. Nereson, with the invocation given by Avon Carlson, and the scripture lesson by J. A. Baker. Coalson Morris and Kenneth Quarry also participated in the service, explaining its purpose and presenting its message. Benediction was offered by Rev. Alex McCandless. The colors were presented by Explorer Scout Patrol No. 223, and Boy Scout Troop No. 33 acted as ushers. After the service, the 40 et 8 from American Legion Post No. 72 presented a flag burning ceremony. The first civic event in the centennial celebration was held on Monday with a time-capsule burial. It is scheduled to be opened in the year 2057 and will reveal clippings, historical data and centennial news. The first of five presentations of Centurama was given on Monday night, with a cast of 1200, in La Palma Stadium where 4,500 enthusiastic Anaheimers enjoyed the spectacle. Speakers at this opening ceremony were Congressman James B. Utt, Lt. Gov. Harold J. Powers and State Senator John Murdy. A special guest was Lt. Forrest Hanvey, Anaheim's only graduate of Annapolis. He received a special award presented by Assemblyman Dick Hanna for his excellent achievements at the Academy. Earlier he had been honored at a dinner at the Gourmet Restaurant. Hanvey is the son of Police Captain and Mrs. Tommy Taylor. Centurama is a live dramatic presentation depicting Anaheim's progress over the last 100 years—from Indians, wagon trains, the growth of the missions, the vineyards and wineries—right up to and ending with the atomic age.

The board also approved a compromise price of $54,600 for seven acres on La Palma Avenue near the end of West Street, located in the northwest part of the city. The seller was Lesser Enterprises, developers of the Spadrom Estates subdivision.

The guest speaker was Congressman James B. Utt. Wednesday was pioneer recognition and homecoming day. The old residents were taken on a tour by bus through Anaheim so they might see the amazing changes that have taken place. Anaheim's own Sen. Thomas H.

Meyer One of the most interesting histories of the southland, "50 Golden Years," has just been compiled by Sam A. Meyer, veteran newspaperman and publisher of the old Newport News for many years. The 350-page volume, in prose and pictures, chronicles the History of Newport Beach for the past 100 years. There are over 200 photos in the book. The McFadden Brothers, some of whose descendants still live in Santa Ana, are given credit for starting the town on its way, having built Newport Pier and constructed a railroad to the county seat. They came to Newport Beach in the 1860's, although the first James Irvine came to Orange County much earlier. It was not until 1906 that the little town incorporated by a vote of 42 to 12 as revealed by a photostatic copy certifying the election by the Secretary of State at Sacramento. Harbor development did not start until 1916 and then only in a desultory fashion. Many islanders were not interested in the "mud flats." Government funds were secured in the early 30's and the port was formally dedicated in 1936. President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed the button in Washington setting off the celebration and Governor Frank Merriam was guest of honor. Notables who aided in establishing a harbor were such men as U. S. Senators Samuel Shortridge, Hiram Johnson, Alben Barkley, Thomas Kuchel; Congressman Phil Swing, John Phillips, James Utt; Former Governor Earl Warren; Governor Knight and many others. The first newspaper, the Newport News, was established in 1907. The writer forecasts that the future of Newport Beach lies in the advancement of Upper Bay, which meanders for several miles northerly toward Santa Ana, and, in use, 8 junior wheel chairs; 3 tiny tot wheel chairs; 30 senior wheel chairs; various other equipment is also available.

All money donated is spent in Orange County except for occasional cases which must be sent to the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles for very special care. The association is not affiliated with the National or State Societies for Crippled Children and Adults, Inc., so your help is urgently needed. The balance on July 1, 1957, was $1,839.75, which is entirely inadequate for the excellent job they are doing. Here are some of their expenditures: wheel chairs, $756.71; hearing aid, $234.00; special shoes, $136.74; surgery and hospital, $1,602.46; glasses, $83.00; artificial limb, $214.00; dental care, $1,056.00; tonsillectomy, $554.61; orthodontia, $2,712.50; secretary, $680.00; medicine, office visits, $876.43; braces and splints, $153.40. This association is not to be confused with the Orange County Society for Crippled Children and Adults, Inc., which was founded Nov., 1949, and which cares for cerebral palsy cases and any handicapped person who can furnish a doctor's prescription.

IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM GAZETTE Day, Sept. 12, 1957 No. 15 Dyke Water Co. Loses Again! Well Denied; Annex Also Loses Dyke Water Company has lost another attempt to gain a permit to drill a water well within the city limits of Anaheim when the City Council again denied the request. Also losing a request for annexation to the City of Anaheim was the group of residents residing on property on the north side of Katella Avenue and on the west side of Magnolia Avenue. Dyke Water officials, with their representative George Karcher, appeared at the Council meeting Tuesday evening to again request a permit to drill a water well on a small parcel of land 30x40 feet at the corner of Harbor Boulevard and Orangewood Avenue. Karcher stated that Dyke Water Company owned the property and wanted and needed a water well and there was no other place to drill a well. They were told that since the well was within the city limits and the water was to be used outside the city, the Council was of the opinion the water should be used within the City of Anaheim. Fighting the variance all the way, Lyle Mitchell, orange grower and owner of another well nearby, feels that the proposed well would be a detriment to his well and that all water from his well was used for grove uses and had been for the past 35 years. Karcher promised Mitchell that Dyke Water would furnish them water at no cost but Mitchell countered with the thought that Dyke could withdraw this offer at any time and leave his customers without any source of water whatsoever. The motion for denial was the same as made at the previous hearing, wells within the city should furnish water to the city, and after due consideration the request was again denied. Sen. Kuchel Has Busy Six Weeks in Calif. United States Senator Thomas H.

Kuchel also will sit with the subcommittee at hearings in Phoenix Sept. 16. The first engagement on Kuchel's busy schedule was here last night at the Pioneer Homecoming Day festivities.

Gets Western Electric Contract The Siegler Corporation, through its Hallamore Electronics Company division in this city, has been licensed by the Western Electric Company to manufacture telephone equipment. It was announced today by John G. Brooks, president of Siegler. Brooks said this manufacturing agreement means broadened activity for the Hallamore division in the communication field. The equipment will be nationally distributed under an agreement between Hallamore and the Graybar Electric Company, Inc. Hallamore's license with Western Electric, manufacturing division of American Telephone and Telegraph Company, is one of the first such licenses to go to an independent supplier. It covers manufacture of communication type equipment, according to Brooks. The Hallamore division is producing a type of telephone line amplifier under terms of the agreement. The amplifier is known as an E-type negative impedance repeater, a device for boosting voice signal level over distances. Amplifier stocks are currently being built up at the Hallamore plant in Anaheim. Additional stocks will soon be established in Graybar's 148 branches in 19 districts of the United States. Operating telephone companies will use the amplifier mounted on shelves in cabinets holding up to 150 amplifier units. Brooks said Hallamore is currently fabricating Dyke Water would furnish them water at no cost but Mitchell countered with the thought that Dyke could withdraw this offer at any time and leave his customers without any source of water whatsoever. The motion for denial was the same as made at the previous hearing, well within the city should furnish water to the city, and after due consideration the request was again denied. Thirty-three property owners of the Katella-Magnolia area presented a petition to the Council Tuesday evening, asking annexation to the City of Anaheim. After checking the area in question, it was pointed out that since the property is separated to the north by an area already included in the City of Stanton, it would be impractical for the City of Anaheim to consider such an annexation. The City Clerk was ordered to notify the petitioners of the decision made at the meeting. Optimists to Hear Speaker. From Du Pont Company Wyatte F.
