THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) SAM LYONS, the dean of Orange County public relations men, replied when asked how he felt: "I feel so good I have to take pills every morning to make me feel worse." SAM also told me the mayors of Orange County will meet for a pistol shoot January 2. I can remember only a few years back when, if the mayors of Anaheim and Fullerton had met with pistols in hand they might not have kept their pistols pointed at the right target. DICK DE LACEY, Brea Progress publisher, editorialized about a public official who felt the need to smother public opinion. Dick wrote, "Presumably he never learned at mother's knee, or at any other educational joints some of the basic facts of life about the public right to know." HERE'S a sentence which can make you feel good or bad, almost at the same time. It is taken from one of the thousands of business formats which have 87 YEARS OF DEVOTING ANAHEIM Vol. LXXXVII—Anaheim, Orange County Business in New Year Must Regain Confidence Which Declined in 1956 Business in 1958 will be confronted with the task of regaining the momentum—and the confidence — which declined as 1937 wore along, reports Business Week, McGraw-Hill publication. New Records Set This is a strange situation, as 1957 was not a bad year by any measurement. The value of all goods produced and services rendered set a new record in 1957, although price increases were responsible for more than half the rise. Production in physical terms was almost the same as in the record-breaking 1956. Some of the disappointment in 1957 arose over the shape of the curve steady through the summer, then declining slightly in the autumn when most people had assumed it would be rising again. But the uneasiness really stemmed from a more basic cause. Capacity Exceeds Demand Capacity caught up with, and exceeded, demand. In many lines, spending on new plants and other losses are taken account. Others feel that, for time being, building at last year rate on one million a year fully satisfy effective demand. Highway Funds Increase Whether housing goes up not, steadily rising figures confidently be expected in field of construction — high even though the federally program has been slow in getting started, highway construction 1957 forged to a new record about five billion dollars — than $500 million higher than 1956. Highway programs account part for the fact that state local government spending is pected to help sustain business tivity, with their expenditures pected to rise another three billion dollars in 1958, bringing year's total close to $40 billion. Faced with the realities of world situation, it seems cer that the administration and grass will agree that more, stead of less, money will have HERE'S a sentence which can make you feel good or bad, almost at the same time. It is taken from one of the thousands of business forecasts which have crossed editors' desks this week: "The present level of business activity will be sustained or bettered in 1958 however the group is less optimistic than at any time since 1954." A letter in the mail this morning brought a business card from the Santa Ana manager of the Prudential Insurance Company of America. The card reads "Walter B. Furman, C.L.U." That is either a new university out here or it means "Can Lick Uons". Seriously, however, Walt is a wonderful guy and I know he's tops in his business. FUNNY thing about after Christmas sales. Christmas cards were selling like hot cakes, at reduced prices, the day after Christmas, but Christmas trees, unused and brand new, had no takers. EXCUSE me while I go out to make my New Years resolutions. Here's hoping you have a most happy and prosperous 1958! Sammy Lee to Open Swim School in Anaheim in Spring Sammy Lee, the world's greatest diver, will open a swimming and diving school in Anaheim this spring. Joining Lee in the operation of the swimming and diving school, as partners, will be Ralph Longbotham Jr., and Bob Rechtwig, well known Orange County physical education and recreation administrators. Rechtwig is the former health and physical education Some of the disappointment in 1957 arose over the shape of the curve steady through the summer, then declining slightly in the autumn when most people had assumed it would be rising again. But the uneasiness really stemmed from a more basic cause. Capacity Exceeds Demand Capacity caught up with, and exceeded, demand. In many lines, spending on new plants and equipment for the first time outran immediate needs. In 1957, the bite of tight money really began to be felt. This was a more subtle influence than the others, and its exact impact has been difficult to measure. Partly because the pressure had been increasing continuously, it is hard to determine exactly when, and to what extent, credit began to cool off the boom. In fact, shortness of credit has not at any time been conspicuously felt by the consumer except mortgage money for home purchases. It is perfectly obvious that some relaxation of credit is now one of the handiest implements for reinforcing a little confidence into business. The mere fact of easier money will create a better psychology although it is well known that ample money begets no activity unless, and until, there is demand for funds. Even in this period of relatively slow household formation, many experts believe new families require 1.25 million new housing units every year when demolition Filing Fees for State Candidates Secretary of State Frank M. Jordan is distributing a 28-page booklet listing offices for which candidates are to be nominated at the next June 3 primary election and the amount of filing fees to be paid for each office.

Others feel that, for the being, building at last year's on one million a year will satisfy effective demand. Highway Funds Increase Whether housing goes up or steadily rising figures may incidently be expected in one of construction — highways. In though the federally aided program has been slow in getting started, highway construction in Ford to a new record of five billion dollars — more than $500 million higher than in highway programs account in for the fact that state and government spending is expected to help sustain business activity, with their expenditures expected to rise another three billion dollars in 1958, bringing the total close to $40 billion. Accused with the realities of the situation, it seems certain the administration and conspirators will agree that more, in less, money will have to Alpha Beta Mkts. Will Acquire Stock Of Raisin Markets. The Boards of Directors of Alpha Beta Food Markets, Inc. and Raisin Markets, Inc. have agreed on terms of a proposal whereby Alpha Beta will acquire the outstanding common stock of the Raisin chain. It was announced today by Claude W. Edwards, Alpha Beta president, and Phil Raisin, president of the firm bearing his name. Terms of the acquisition, which is subject to approval by the California Corporations Commissioner and the completion of certain other necessary formalities, were not announced at this time. However, the two corporation presidents stated that the purchase consideration is understood to be an offering to Raisin stockholders of cash and Alpha Beta debentures. No public financing will be involved, Edwards said. Operate As A Subsidiary Upon conclusion of the acquisition, the Raisin corporation will be operated as a subsidiary and any decision regarding its merger Orange Co. Has 586,900 Population Population of Orange County hit a new high of 586,900 at January 1, 1958, with people pouring into the county during calendar 1957 at the rate of about 6,300 a month, California Taxpayers' Association estimated today. During 1957, population of the county increased by some 76,000 people, adding by about 14.9 per cent to the 510,900 people estimated to be in the county at Januaray 1, 1957. The county shows a population increase of some 171.4 per cent over the April, 1950 census figure of 216,224. The county is one among a number in the state which show relatively large increases in population—due both to the movement of population to the industrial and urban areas of the state and natural increase, S.J. Arnold, general manager of the state-wide Taxpayers' association, explained. Some rural, agricultural areas have lost population, he observed. Basis of the Taxpayers' association estimates is enrollment of public and perennial elementary schools. March of Dimes Slogan: "Survival is not enough." And so a small army of cated workers were poised at ange County today for an whirlwind attack on polio, pling menace to children younger adults. The March of Dimes, source of ammunition for the ennial battle against the pler, opens throughout the city today. In more than a score of communities, corps of war are girding for the drive thru the month of January, climing with the Mothers March, set time for Jan. 28. Arthur R. McKenzie, Mesa police chief, who is on March of Dimes chairman for third successive year, sounded keynote "survival is not end." Need As Great As Ever Even though the polio has been sharply lessened by Salk vaccine—Orange County only a third as many new this year as in 1956—the new presently as great as ever McKenzie. "Not only are there new but all old cases continue to Highway programs account in for the fact that state and government spending is expected to help sustain business accidents, with their expenditures expected to rise another three billion-dollars in 1958, bringing the total close to $40 billion. Spaced with the realities of the and situation, it seems certain the administration and cans will agree that more, ind less, money will have to do the military. This probly raises the debt ceiling and it spending in the last half of which would, at least theologically, have a stimulating effusion business. This would seem to rule out any major tax cut in 1958. Might Prime the Pump It should appear by spring that the nation is not going to out of the downturn—that numbers are taking to their cellars because jobs are certain and incomes are shrink- —it might be necessary to use the pump. A tax cut is the best way to spur consumer indulgence, which in turn is the best way to stir general busiactivity. 1955 Overselling Worn Off In easy way to find out the records spending attitude is to with the auto industry. The illness of 1955's overselling have very well worn off, if for no reason than that 1955 buywill have paid off the last inment this year and be ready made in their cars on new ones. Local Bank Will Due New License Stickers Motorists of the Anaheim area apply for their annual vehiregistration renewals at Bank America, Anaheim Branch, 150 Center Street, between Jan. and Feb. 4, 1958, Richard W. local manager, announced.

The bank will provide space for service, which will be avail- Upon conclusion of the acquisition, the Raisin corporation will be operated as a subsidiary and any decision regarding its merger into Alpha Beta would be subject to further study, Mr. Edwards declared. At the present time, Alpha Beta is operating 35 supermarkets in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino and Riveraide Counties, while the Raisin chain consists of 13 units in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. For the fiscal year ended July 28, 1957, Alpa Beta had total sales of more than $57,000,000 and sales of Raisin Markets, Inc. for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1957, amounted to over $27,000,000. Since that time, Raisin has opened an additional store and Alpha Beta placed in operation three new supermarkets, bringing total sales up to an annual rate in excess of $90,000,000. Adolf Schoepe Heads "Hire Handicapped" In Orange County Adolf Schoepe, president of Fluidmaster Inc., Anaheim, developers of hydraulic controls, has been elected chairman of the Orange County Committee for the Employment of the Physically Southern Counties Gas Co. expects to add 17,000 new meters to its lines in Orange County next year and has set a 1958 budget of more than $5,345,000 for facilities to service customers in the county, it was announced recently. On the basis of 3.25 persons per average household, this would indicate a gain in Orange County population next year of 55,250 people, gas company Division Manager Justin M. Kennedy said. The utility executive added the money budgeted is "for improvements in plants, only," and dogs not include money set aside for recurring expenses. Near Record Budget The budget for this area is part of the second largest budget ever earmarked by Southern Counties for any one year of its 47-year corporate history. Next year's $22,850,000 was topped only by the $24,406,000 of 1957. The gas company's 1956 budget was $19,-724,000. Orange County budget and susnumber in the state which show relatively large increases in populalation—due both to the movement of population to the industrial and urban areas of the state and natural increase. S. J. Arnold, general manager of the state-wide Taxpayers' association, explained. Some rural, agricultural areas have lost population, he observed. Basis of the Taxpayers' association estimates is enrollment of public and parochial elementary schools. For the fifteen counties in the southern California market area, population at January 1, 1958, reached a total estimated at 9,-195,940, an increase of some 378,-330 people, or about 4.3 per cent, over the 8,817,610 estimated to be in the fifteen-county area a year ago. During calendar 1957, people poured into the area at the rate of about 31,500 a month. Gas Company Sees Gain of 55,250 for Orange Co. in 1958 Southern Counties Gas Co. expects to add 17,000 new meters to its lines in Orange County next year and has set a 1958 budget of more than $5,345,000 for facilities to service customers in the county, it was announced recently.

He succeeds Gaylord Hicks of Goodwill Industries, Santa Ana. Affiliated with the nationwide President's Committee for the Employment of the Physically Handicapped, the purpose of the countywide group of civic and business leaders is to aid in the suitable placement of qualified, physically impaired persons. Schoepe, founder-president of Kwikset Locks, Inc., Anaheim, has explained that his committee intends this next year to analyze reasons given for not employing physically impaired persons and to determine whether there is anything more than "unthinking prejudice" involved. “It’s good business to hire the handicapped,” is the nationwide slogan of the movement, according to Schoepe, who explains: “There is plenty of evidence that handicapped persons can fill many positions more efficiently than others and become steady employees with excellent attendance and performance records. And, each person who is given a chance at self-support becomes a tax payer rather than a tax burden.” Near Record Budget The budget for this area is part of the second largest budget ever earmarked by Southern Counties for any one year of its 47-year corporate history. Next year's $22,850,000 was topped only by the $24,406,000 of 1957. The gas company’s 1956 budget was $19,-724,000. Orange County budget and customer totals for 1958 are the highest for any of the gas company’s eight operating divisions. Largest item in the 1958 Orange County Division budget, more than $4,838,000, is for connecting and servicing new customers in this area. Other major items in next year’s budget are $224,000 for main replacements and $150,000 for service replacements, Kennedy said. Throughout its system, Southern Counties expects to add more than 48,000 new meters in 1958. The year will be the fourth in a row that the natural gas distribution utility has made provisions to add more than 45,000 new customers in its 1,200-square-mile service area.

Money Approved For County Fair Official notification of approval of a $62,000 allowance to the Orange County Fair announced by Stewart Yost, tary-manager. According to a communion from A. H. Snyder, chief sion of Fairs and Exposition money was okayed by the Works board for “construc purchase of equipment, land ing and miscellaneous implements.” Installation of a permanent sound system on the fairground and purchase of a gang mower projects earmarked for easy attention, Yost said. In another action concerto Fair funds, the board voted proval of a 1958 premium listing $33,570 in awards. Two American destroyers, Fanning and Nicholson, operate off the coast of Scotland, charged, shelled and sankerman sub U-58 Nov. 17, marking the first sinking of enemy sub by U.S. warships March of Dimes Campaign Has New Logan: "Survival Is Not Enough" And so a small army of dedicated workers were poised in Orange County today for anotherirlwind attack on pollo, cripping menace to children and younger adults. The March of Dimes, annual source of ammunition for the perennial battle against the crippler, opens throughout the county play. In more than a score of cities and communities, corps of workers girding for the drive through the month of January, climaxing with the Mothers March, set this one for Jan. 28. Arthur R. McKenzie, Costaesa police chief, who is county arch of Dimes chairman for the third successive year, sounded the note "survival is not enough." Need As Great As Ever Even though the polio threat has been sharply lessened by the kik vaccine—Orange County had by a third as many new cases as year as in 1956—the need is evidently as great as ever, said Kenzie. Not only are there new cases, but all old cases continue to need the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is now stressing the work of rehabilitation for the victims of past years, as well as the cases still to come. The March of Dimes therefore is as vital as ever." Peanuts and Coffee The campaign coming up will be waged on several fronts such as "peanuts for polio" among high school students, and the popular coffee parties organized for the first time last January. The coffee parties proved successful and in one city, Orange, Mrs. Arthur Nies set a state record by raising nearly $1200 from the coffee parties she organized. Plan Special Events Special events will again play an important part, including the Blue Crutch drive of the American Legion, 29th District, the chuckwagon breakfast planned by Associated Riding Clubs of Orange County, and the livestock auction at Cypress, announced by A. E. "Pat" Arnold, councilman and member of the county board of education. Top ranking money raiser, of course, will be the Mothers March 'Confidence' to be Watchword in '58 The following year-end statement by Harlow H. Curtice, president of General Motors, should prove interesting to Gazette readers. "The outlook for the economy in 1958 is difficult to appraise at the present time. As we try to look ahead an all-important factor in the business picture is confidence—confidence on the part of both business and the consumer. For various reasons confidence at present seems to be somewhat shaken and an attitude of caution appears to prevail. This can have a substantial effect on the level of economic activity." 'Good Business' While consumer and business spending have been at record levels, both have eased off somewhat in recent months. This trend may well continue for the first half of 1958. But other factors—notably the recent Federal Reserve Board action in lowering the rediscount rate, and the expectancy of increased expenditures for defense—may result in March of Dimes chairman for the second successive year, sounded the note "survival is not enough." Need As Great As Ever Even though the polio threat has been sharply lessened by the kink vaccine—Orange County had by a third as many new cases as year as in 1956—the need is presently as great as ever, said Kenzie. Not only are there new cases, but all old cases continue to need care. We will not leave the bodies of the wounded on the battlefield," McKenzie declared. "And special events will again play an important part, including the Blue Crutch drive of the American Legion, 29th District, the chuckwagon breakfast planned by Associated Riding Clubs of Orange County, and the livestock auction at Cypress, announced by A.

Mrs. Helen Aubin, 86, Enjoys Gay Christmas Season with Her Family The Frank Kellogg home at 530 West Street, this city, was the gathering place for the Kellogg family on Christmas day with a festive dinner the highlight of the event. A beautifully decorated tree with the many gifts was the real point for the galley. Special rest was Mr. Kellogg's mother, Mrs. Helen K. Aubin of Santa Ana, who has celebrated her 86th birthday. Mrs. Aubin returned to her home later in the afternoon where she met 40 relatives had gathered, awaiting her return for a delightful surprise. A Washington evergreen tree, brought down from their Longview, Wash., home by Mrs. and Mrs. Segerstrom was brilliantly lighted and stacked with many gifts was the theme of the holiday season. Santa Claus appeared with gifts for everyone following refreshments, Mrs. Helen Kellogg Cushman, daughter of the honoree, played Christmas carols while the group sang. A Christmas Eve party was also enjoyed by the Kellogg family when Dr. L. Frank Kellogg and his family were hosts at their Ardis Drive home in Garden Grove. Another Washington evergreen tree was the center of attraction with the traditional exchange of gifts among those attending. Mrs. Aubin's children were present along with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. The honoree has seen many Christmas celebrations in her 86 years but each year, the enjoyment of family and friends becomes gerater, until now, Mrs. Aubin declared, "having spent 86 years eating to live, I'll turn the table and live to eat".

Parent - Teacher Associations handle this march in most areas, and are now selecting chairmen. "Good Business" While consumer and business spending have been at record levels, both have eased off somewhat in recent months. This trend may well continue for the first half of 1958. But other factors—notably the recent Federal Reserve Board action in lowering the rediscount rate, and the expectancy of increased expenditures for defense—may result in an upturn during the second half of 1958. Taking all factors into consideration it is my belief that on balance 1958 can be a year of good business generally. Confidence a Factor "The factor of confidence to which I have referred can have a particularly marked effect on durable goods industries such as the automobile industry. I am convinced that an important reason for the erosion of public confidence is to be found in mounting worry over inflation — rising prices and the declining value of the dollar. "Of grave concern in this connection are the publicly announced 1958 economic demands of certain labor unions. Union leadership, while professing to be disturbed over rising prices, has indicated it will exert all the pressure of which it is capable to enforce its demands. Should it succeed there can be no doubt that the wage-cost-price spiral would be given another major upward push. Cause for Inflation "Authoritative studies have shown that postwar rounds of bargaining in industry after industry have pushed wage and benefit plan costs substantially ahead of the nation's productivity gains. This has been a major factor in recent inflationary trends." Shorter Work Week? If we, as a people, are forced still further along this dangerous path, the economic consequences will be very serious. Precisely such consequences would result if the 1958 bargaining objectives of union leaders were to be realized. One of the announced objectives is the shorter work-week with increased take-home pay. More pay for less work would certainly bring about with less labor. Honey Approved for County Fair Official notification of State approval of a $62,000 allocation to the Orange County Fair was announced by Stewart Yost, secretary-manager. According to a communication from A. H. Snyder, chief, Division of Fairs and Expositions, the money was okayed by the Public Works board for "construction, purchase of equipment, landscaping and miscellaneous improvements." Installation of a permanent and system on the fairgrounds purchase of a gang mower are projects earmarked for earliest intention, Yost said. Another action concerning funds, the board voted approval of a 1958 premium list offering $33,570 in awards. Two American destroyers, the Mining and Nicholson, operating the coast of Scotland, depth urged, shelled and sank the man sub U-58 Nov. 17, 1917, taking the first sinking of an enemy sub by U. S. warships. E. C. Missildine a Chapman College trustee, board chairman J. E. Wilkinson announced. The appointment is in line with the new policy of the board to bring more Orange Countians into its membership, Wilkinson said. Missildine is a member of the industrial and retail divisions of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce and active in the Boy Scouts. He holds past presidencies in the Orange Empire Council of the Boy Scouts and the El Centro Kiwanis Club and past chairmanships in southern Orange County and El Centro chapters of the Red Cross. Other Orange County business men on the Chapman College board are Wilkinson himself, Irvin C. Chapman, Claude W. Edwards and William J. Haney. Shorter Work Week? "If we, as a people, are forced still further along this dangerous high, the economic consequences will be very serious. Precisely such consequences would result if the 1958 bargaining objectives of union leaders were to be realized. One of the announced objectives is the shorter work-week with increased take-home pay. More pay for less work would certainly bring about either a lower living standard or still more inflation, with resultant uncertainty and loss of confidence. It would tend to weaken the national economy, and a strong economy today is more essential to the security of our nation than ever before. Confidence in Future "Fortunately there is reason to believe that most Americans are willing to work for the things they want, that they understand that we must produce more both to have more and to maintain our nation's strength and position of world leadership. In this connection, and looking beyond current short-term uncertainties, I would reiterate and emphasize my confident belief in the future growth and progress of our country." YMCA SALE SUCCESSFUL The Anaheim Y's Men's Club gave away ten turkeys during its seventh annual Christmas tree sale which ended Monday, according to James Abrecht; president of the club. Harry Burford, chairman of the Christmas tree sale said the profits made possible because the members of the club all donate their time and efforts, will enable the club to continue its various youth projects for 1958.
