THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) DEAR George: I've just thought of a way to give shopping in Anaheim a terrific shot in the arm. Why not have a "wives" day in Anaheim. On this day the wives of the businessmen would be in the stores and the men could go out and play golf. (Now I don't mean its wonderful that the men could go out and play golf.) Just think of how the local wolves would try to think up some reason to go into the stores and do business with the bosses wife. I'll bet that instead of making a $300 bank deposit you would cut it in two and make two $150 deposits. Or, can't you picture the AW's (short for Anaheim wolves) running in and out of the stores vying to see which one can buy the biggest order and please the bosses wife! I can. You'll probably think that's a crazy idea, George, but at least I'm trying. HOMER D. KING, popular publisher of The Hemet News, is sure going to have his Happy New Year spoiled when he gets a letter from the Coca-Cola peo A Tight Budget Means Reasonable Properties Levies The $15,585,097 county property tax levy for Orange County this year is more than half of the $30,606,689 budgeted by the county for 1957-58, S. J. Arnold, general manager of California Taxpayers' association, said recently. The 1957-58 budget for the county is 9 per cent greater than the $28,160,142 county budget for the 1956-57 fiscal year, Arnold said. Tax Levy Up 41 Per Cent After all subventions and grants, fines and fees, and carry-over surpluses, delinquency allowances, and balances, etc., are subtracted, the 1957-58 county budget called for the 1957-58 property tax levy for the county of $15,585,097, which was 41 per cent greater than the $11,056,400 levy for 1956-57. Assessed Values Up 17% Assessed value of taxable property in the county reached $932,-028,780 for the current year, 17 per cent greater than the $793,-634,290 for last year. $1.66 vs $1.33 Combination of property tax levy and assessed value of taxable property in the county for each of the years resulted in the $1.66 basic county tax rate per $100 of taxable value for 1957-58, compared with the $1.33 rate for occupational data being collected by Orange County's three junior colleges and the Orange County schools not only will be of value in guiding curriculum studies for the colleges but also to high schools and the four yy colleges, it was emphasized too after a conference of high school officials with the participating college heads. Out of the day-long conference conducted in the J. P. Greeley School in Orange, came the declaration from state aides that tri-college survey will reveal cational facts so that junior colleges may counsel young people more realistically in occupation choices. A Six-Month Survey More than six months of field work have gone into the survey to determine where Orange County workers live, where they are employed, what education training they and their children want, the numbers of workers in a wide variety of occupations, and a mass of related information guide college counsellors, curriculum heads and instructors. The State-County-College conference was called to orient three agencies on progress of the report, which has been coordinated in the Orange County School office, under supervision of Patricia Simmons. Dr. Jay Davis Conner, Ass HOMER D. KING, popular publisher of The Hemet News, is sure going to have his Happy New Year spoiled when he gets a letter from the Coca-Cola people. And it's really too bad because Homer was warning newspaper people to be careful, when at the same time he was putting his own foot in it. Here's Homer's item that will bring him things from Coca-Cola. The error is that he uses a small "c" for "Coke". "Newspaper people know they have to be careful about the use of trade names. To use the word "coke", for example, in referring to Pepsi-Cola will bring a letter of warning from the head office of the Coca-Cola company at Atlanta. The word "coke" is registered as the property of the Coca-Cola company." BOB BRECKENRIDGE, a member of the advertising staff of The Santa Ana Register, calls to have a copy of this newspaper addressed to him "so I won't miss a single issue", he says. Bob is well known in Anaheim business circles as a former employee of the Yorba Linda Star and Garden Grove News. CHRISTMAS trees must be made shorter or automobiles longer. The two don't go together worth a darn. THE Southern Counties Gas company, (Anaheim office) will move, come January 1, 1958, to the former location of the "Little Folks" Shop. Almost directly opposite The Gazette. Listen, Paul King: when you move up here on main street, remember, we were here first and we're working this side. But we'll come over on your side for coffee. SAW a gruesome thing this afternoon in the county reached $932,028,780 for the current year, 17 per cent greater than the $793,634,290 for last year. $1.66 vs $1.33 Combination of property tax levy and assessed value of taxable property in the county for each of the years resulted in the $1.66 basic county tax rate per $100 of taxable value for 1957-58, compared with the $1.33 rate for 1956-57. "Amount of the property tax bill for any local government depends primarily on the amount of the budget which the responsible local governing board decides upon," Arnold stated, pointing out that the county government is only one of the local governments which levy taxes against property in California. Government Boards Decide School districts, cities, and other districts also levy good-sized amounts—again based on the amounts their governing boards decide to spend—against the property within their boundaries. Watch the Budgets “If property tax bills are to be less for 1958-59, the demand of property owners for lower tax bills should be directed to the people who represent them on their local governing boards—the people who set the budgets which determine the size of the property tax levy,” Arnold said. "A tight budget means a reasonable tax rate," he declared. Call This Weekend To Folks Back Home Pacific Telephone says that this weekend is the best time to make that Christmas call to the folks back east. If you wait until Christmas Eve or Christmas Day you stand a chance of being disappointed because of busy lines. The company points out that this year they expect a record flood of 365,000 long distance calls to eastern points during the 24 hour Christmas period. "Some people will probably run into delays and be disappointful in the county reached $932,028,780 for the current year, 17 per cent greater than the $793,634,290 for last year. The State-County-College conference was called to orient three agencies on progress of the report, which has been coordinated in the Orange County School Office, under supervision of Patricia Simmons. Dr. Jay Davis Conner, Associate Superintendent of Public Instruction and Chief of the State Division of Instructor, agrees with others attending that high schools also will be interested in the information, to integrate college instruction with the junior colleges. The four-year schools, including the new Orange County State College and proposed branch of the University of California, also are involved in the future planning. Committee Appointment Out of the conference came a pointment to the Tri-College Committee of a State representative Lowell Anderson, Regional Supervisor of Distributive Education Los Angeles. Among others attending were Donald E. Kitch, Chief of Supplemental Education Services; Wesley P. Smith, State Director of Vocational Education; Samuel Fick, Chief, Bureau of Industry Education; George C. Mann, Chief of the Bureau of Adult Education; Hugh G. Price, Consultant for Junior Colleges, State Department of Education. From the County office we Superintendent Linton Simmons; Dr. Patricia Simmons; Dr. Barbara Hartsziz, Coordinator of Curriculum; Assistant Superintendent John Hayes and Warren Mendenhall, and Norman Stager, coordinator of industrial education. The junior colleges were represented by top administrators and curriculum chiefs, from Santa Ana College, Orange Coast College and Fullerton Junior College. Fuchsia Society Plan Christmas Festivities The Christmas dinner party was the Orange County branch of the California National Fuchsia Society. Company, (Anaheim office) will move, come January 1, 1958, to the forher location of the "Little Folks" Shop. Almost directly opposite The Gazette. Listen, Paul King: when you move up here on main street, remember, we were here first and we're working this side. But we'll come over on your side for coffee. SAW a gruesome thing this afternoon. A lady was pushing Christmas cards in the local slot at the post office and a hand from the other side kept pushing them back. She was quite indignant until a voice shouted through the slot, "no postage stamps on these, lady!" A hangover breakfast menu sign on the wall of "Brick's" cafe reads: Tomato Juice Raw Egg Black Coffee Aspirin Our Sympathy Price of the menu is not given. WONDER why the Anaheim Optimist Club doesn't have open house Thursday evening, January 2, for all men? It's the annual neck tie exchange party. What a riot that could be. Merry Christmas! If you wait until Christmas Eve or Christmas Day you stand a chance of being disappointed because of busy lines. The company points out that this year they expect a record flood of 365,000 long distance calls to eastern points during the 24 hour Christmas period. "Some people will probably run into delays and be disappointed if they wait until the last minute," Herb Perry, local manager of Pacific declared. Tourists Business Pays Well Here A total of 247,396 pleasure visitors from other states and foreign countries spent an average of $144.13 each in southern California last month, leaving behind when they returned home, the sum of $35,756,114 to enrich the local economy. This was reported today by F. M. Banks, president of the All-Year Club, community organization which carries on the southland's tourist advertising campaigns. During the past year, the 36th year of the advertising campaigns, an all-time record of 4,363,003 tourists was attracted here and spent $608,773,000, Banks said. The Christmas dinner party at the Orange County branch of the California National Fuchsia Society will be held Friday, Dec. 2 at 6:30 p.m., in the Anaheim American Legion Hall, 936 N Lemon Street. This is a change from the regular meeting date due to the date falling on Christmas Eve. It was announced the January meeting will be as usual the last Tuesday of the month. The dinner is a planned pot luck. Each member will bring a wrapped gift for a needy child, marked either boy or girl. These gifts are distributed by the Elks to children in the hospitals. There will also be a gift exchange among the members, each gift to be marked for a man or woman. The entertainment will be a new departure from flower growing but some of the members. The plan table will feature flowering or foliage Christmas plants. Visitors are urged to join the Orange County branch of the California National Fuchsia Society at its Christmas party. Occupation Survey Guide Colleges Occupational data being collected in Orange County's three junior colleges and the Orange Coun-college not only will be of val-uing guiding curriculum studies these colleges but also to the schools and the four year area, it was emphasized today a conference of high state schools with the participating heads. A Six-Month Survey More than six months of field have gone into the survey, determine where Orange Coun-collears live, where they are lived, what educational they and their children the numbers of workers in the variety of occupations, and of related information to college counsellors, curricu-leads and instructors.

The comwill be in the auditorium of Anaheim Union High School. This will be the first major wof the Choraleers, although the Symphony has been heard in a cert before. The two groups orate as separate units of the AEducation Division of the AnahHigh School. In addition, chorus is also co-sponsored by Soroptimist Club of Anaheim in the Parks and Recreation Deptment of the City of Anaheim. Approximately 80 Voices The chorus, under the directiof Winifred Sloop, was first organized to participate in the Anaheim Centennial celebration, which has grown from that beginning 21 persons at their first reheato a choir of approximately voices from various communiin Orange County, and of people from all walks of life. Highway Patrol To Crack Down on Drinking Drivers Determined enforcement action against all violations with special emphasis on controlling the drinking driver problem is promised during the holidays by the local unit of the California Highway Patrol. "Each year, drivers under the influence of alcohol add considerably to our traffic problems just prior to and during the December holidays," stated Captain H.W. Hull of the Anaheim Area unit of the Patrol. "This office will join in the state-wide action against the drinking driver and, in cooperation with agents of the State Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, exert enforcement action in a professional effort to contain the problem. "We are appealing to everyone to limit drinking at holiday parties to avoid driving while under the influence of alcohol," Captain Null stated. "It is best to ride home, not drive home, if you have imbibed too freely. "The drinking driver problem can be controlled through the proper application of enforcement plus the full cooperation of every driver and pedestrian," he concluded. "The Patrol, ABC, and other enforcement agencies will provide the enforcement action; the rest is up to you." The “Hive” Must Go Progress Demands After 17 years of steady use, that noisy and well-worn institution at Fullerton Junior College—the “Hive”—comes to an end this week as the snack center Sumner and Hanna Support Bus Action Assemblymen Bruce Sumner, 74th District, of Santa Ana, and Richard T. Hanna, 75th District, of Westminster, were commended by Los Angeles County Supervisor Kenneth Hahn for their prompt and strong support of proposed legislation to accord children riding to school in private school buses the same protection as is now provided for children riding public school buses. Accident Brings Action In a recent letter to each member of the California Legislature, including the 80 Assemblymen and the 40 Senators, Supervisor Hahn outlined details of the tragic accident in Los Angeles on September 30, in which five children and the driver of a school bus transporting children of the All Saints Parochial School were killed when the bus crashed into an open ravine. Supervisor Hahn's investigation of the accident revealed that the bus had not been inspected for safety by either the California Highway Patrol or the State Public Utilities Commission. Not Common Carriers It was pointed out that while the Highway Patrol inspects all public school buses for safety feature, private and parochial school buses are exempted from such inspections. Since these buses are not common carriers they are not under the jurisdiction of the State Public Utilities Commission. Sumner Replies In reply to Supervisor Hahn's letter Assemblyman Sumner replied: "Thank you for your letter of October 30 and the enclosed ordinance. I would be in favor of such legislation on a state-wide basis and I appreciate your taking your time to contact me on this important subject." The "Hive" Must Go Progress Demands After 17 years of steady use, that noisy and well-worn institution at Fullerton Junior College—the "Hive"—comes to an end this week as the snack center closes its doors and workmen commence a $250,000 remodeling operation. The old snack center is to be replaced by a new cafeteria and dining room that will bear little resemblance to the present building. Construction plans call for occupancy of the new structure next fall. Actually the cafeteria and dining room are only a part of the remodeling scheduled, since all of the U-shaped student center building, built in 1940, will be done over. The women's locker room is destined to become a new faculty dining room; the men's locker room, a coeducational locker facility; and the old publications offices in the east wing, an expanded bookstore. The present "Hive" building, located in the west wing, is to be pushed out on three sides. Present kitchen facilities in the north end will be expanded to the street and include a walk-in refrigerator-under the jurisdiction of the State Public Utilities Commission. Sumner Replies In reply to Supervisor Hahn's letter Assemblyman Sumner replied: "Thank you for your letter of October 30 and the enclosed ordinance. I would be in favor of such legislation on a state-wide basis and I appreciate your taking your time to contact me on this important subject." Hanna's Views Assemblyman Hanna stated: "I agree with you that this is a statewide problem and think that it should be handled on a statewide basis. "I believe that this Ordinance should be strengthened by a state law and make the California Highway Patrol duty-bound to work with this on their program, although I am sure that there has been no problem with cooperation." or, dishwasher, and other equipment necessary to institute the college's first complete cafeteria service. On the east side of the "Hive" a new semi-circular outdoor counter area is to provide snack service to the patio. The present roof will be extended about 15 feet out over the patio. Inside, a new cafeteria line arrangement will replace present counter food service. E. Peter Duval Anaheim resident, E. Peter Duval, 2112 Glen Avenue, was elected an assistant vice president of California Bank at a meeting the bank's board of directors at Los Angeles, Monday, Dec. 9. The announcement of Duval promotion was made by Frank King, president of Californias Bank. Duval is assigned to a pension and profit sharing division of the bank's trust department. A native of Calgary, Canada Duval is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, L.L.C. During World War II he served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. Before coming to California he was associated with a firm in Vancouver, British Columbia. Duval joined the staff of the trust department of California Bank in 1951. He was elected assistant secretary of the department in 1953 and assistant treasurer in 1955.

Orange County Medical Group Cuts "Red Tape" in Aid to Needy The Orange County Medical Association, fired by the "state's attempt to socialize medicine," announced its official withdrawal from California's Medical Aid for the Needy program last Wednesday. Carl J. Paul, president of the local association, said that nearly 70 per cent of the group's 463 members had "already signed statements that they were approved of the bolt." Want No Red Tape "However," said Paul, "this does not mean that Orange County's 8,000 welfare cases will not receive aid from our association. We will do as we did before the law was passed Oct. 1 and our understanding is that even the patients were much more satisfied with our donation services than this red tape program pushed upon us." Orange County thus joins Santa Barbara as dissenters of the Social Security act. Riverside, San Diego and San Luis Obispo are also contemplating the move. "A Gravy Train" Thomas Douglas, head of the Orange County Welfare Dept., has gone on record terming the law a "gravy train and a step to socialized medicine." Everett Bannister, executive secretary of the Orange County group, firmly stated that the as-sociation would provide aid service whenever necessary. Continue Free Services "The members who have voted to bolt the program have re-emphasized that they will continue to donate their services and time as needed — as has been done in the past. "It simply means we won't have the state selling us a socialized bill of sale encumbered by red tape when we can handle it better by ourselves without throwing a heavy load on the taxpayers," said Bannister. Lemon Pie Filling May Boost Sales Sunkist Lemon Pie Filling is a new product being test-marketed by the Exchange Lemon Products Company in an effort to provide an additional outlet for lemon products and to broaden the appeal for the somewhat limited appeal of frozen products during the winter. Although considered a superior product, continued market tests will be made before national distribution is attempted. The product has other uses than pies, such as cake filling in desserts. The Borden Company produces in Corona a lemon powder, but this is distributed generally to wholesalers and bakeries. Tank Cars of Lemon Juice Every effort is being made to enter into other lines for sale of lemon products. Tank truck shipment of lemon juice from Corona to Covina was used for the first time so as to utilize an available Covina bottle line at a time when no fruit was being processed at the Covina plant. Nowhere is the value of Exchange Lemon Products Company to its members better demonstrated than in its ability to accept any quantity of fruit, large or small, and manufacture a wide variety of products that customers want without sacrificing efficiency. In so doing the company is completing the grower's program for marketing the entire amount of his variable crop. Some Shipped in Barrels Concurrently substantial quantities of concentrated juice were packed for shipment in barrels—a class of business which increases does not mean that Orange County's 8,000 welfare cases will not receive aid from our association. We will do as we did before the law was passed Oct. 1 and our understanding is that even the patients were much more satisfied with our donation services than this red tape program pushed upon us." Orange County thus joins Santa Barbara as dissenters of the Suggestions for Safe Driving Winterize your driving habits if you expect to cope with wet, slippery pavements says the California Highway Patrol. "Rain in the valleys and coastal regions and snow in the mountain areas call for special driving techniques, if safety is to be maintained," declared Patrol Commissioner B. R. Caldwell. "A few simple rules, if followed, will help you winterize your driving." Caldwell listed the following rules to guide drivers during the winter months. 1. Be sure your brakes, tires, windshield wipers, and steering mechanism is in top condition. 2. Keep all windows and the windshield clear at all times. This is particularly urgent before starting out when the windshield and other windows are covered with frost or snow. Peek-hole driving is hazardous. Clear the entire windshield and all windows before driving. 3. Slow down in wet weather. Wet pavements are slippery and require extra distance between your car and the one you are following so you can stop in time if an emergency arises. 4. Carry extra clothing or blankets when driving into mountain areas. Check at your local Patrol or Division of Highway office for road and weather conditions before leaving. 5. Know how to install tire chains properly and use them when required to do so. 6. Obey all traffic rules and regulations; drive in the right E. Peter Duval Haheim resident, E.

Some Shipped in Barrels Concurrently substantial quantities of concentrated juice were packed for shipment in barrels—a class of business which increased significantly in 1957. This required the operation of all juice concentrating capacity at Corona and Covina for a portion of the year. At the peak of the Valencia season, however, the Covina facilities and a portion of the Corona concentrating capacity were made available to the Exchange Orange Products Company. Orange juice for concentration was extracted at Ontario and transported to Corona and Covina by sanitary tank trucks. — Norco Beacon.
