THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Herb Perry, Anaheim's tingling telephone manager, sends us a story which says they now have a machine which can recognize figures as they are written. Dear Herb, if the machine can recognize mine, it's a miracle machine. Grandparents: the generation which is REALLY spoiling the younger generation. Conscience: something which tells you what others should not do. Nehemiah must have been a newspaper editor. A church bulletin on my desk says he was a councillor, seer, cupbearer and scribe. Well, we are asked for counsel, we are supposed to be seers, we listen 'till our cup runeth over and then, after all that, we try to find time to be scribes. The guy that gets under my skin is the smarty that can tell a "Sutter's Gold" rose from a "Herbert Hoover" or "Mrs. Coolidge." Roses are roses to me and I like the smell of all of 'em. Ex-Tuberculosis Patients Now Have New Opportunities for Employment Today there is a new exit for as many as one out of four patients discharged from the TB Pavilion at Orange County General Hospital. The new doorway leads to rehabilitation. Ex-tuberculosis patients long have been high on the list of "misplaced persons" who, because of prolonged hospitalization and withdrawal from the world, could not find their way back to useful productivity, according to Mrs. Mary Jane Campbell, rehabilitation counsellor with the Santa Ana office of the State Bureau of Vocational Rehabilitation. Offer Counseling Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. June Cmiel of the BVR are offering pre-discharge counselling to TB patients at general hospital. Psychological and vocational aptitude tests are among the tools they use to help determine the course the ex-TB patient should follow to find his way back to normal usefulness and productivity. Dr. Warren Roberts of Fullerton, a clinical psychologist works with BVR to help evaluate the patient's aptitudes. Some of BVR's findings call for a complete about-face in the patient's method of earning a livelihood. Through retraining in business schools, barber colleges, beauty operator's school, junior colleges and other training institutions, discharged TB patients are fitted for brand new careers. Switch Vocations A construction laborer becomes an accountant; a sand blaster comes a barber (which is often on the lungs if not easier or feet) and a girl factory worker becomes a beautician. Ex-tuberculosis patients BVR's "best customers," acting to Mrs. Campbell. Most ex-TB patients take habilitation better than physically handicapped "cuwers" of BVR. Their long stint in the hospital has proven to that they need to heed advice order to avoid a return trip, the counsellor. Even with new "wonder drugs and advancement in treatment methods of tuberculosis, avail stay of a TB patient in home is eight months, or longer. A Different Person "During this long absence work and from his family, TB patient can become virtuous a different person," explains Ms. Campbell. "Some families bring up; separation brings children go through impressive periods of life without strict guidance a mother or father offer. These are the by-problems we encounter in which medical science can treat," she continues. The BVR program which is tempting to rebuild characters has torn down is a direct result of more than six months of study and cooperation between authorities and the Orange County TB Association. The guy that gets under my skin is the smarty that can tell a "Sutter's Gold" rose from a "Herbert Hoover" or "Mrs. Coolidge." Roses are roses to me and I like the smell of all of 'em. Our office coffee break is becoming so complicated what with men's wives sending in applesauce cake etc., to go with our coffee. It could get to the place where we'll be ating a full three-course meal. It used to be that drug stores carried almost everything but drugs, and even now, it's sometimes hard to find the pharmacy counter. But have you noticed how the super marts are cluttering up their aisles with almost everything under the sun except groceries? Clen Wilkinson, Santa Ana Register editorial writer and national vice president of the Isaac Walton League, is a former sports editor of The Kansas City Daily Kansan. It just beats all get out how us former Kansans get around, doesn't it? Frank Nipper, our busy little job foreman, told me he could dictate a sentence I couldn't write. Didn't sound possible, but he did it. The first sentence he gave me was, "The two boys went to town, too." "Now, says foreman Nipper, write a sentence telling how many "to's" there are in the first sentence! It doesn't seem to make any difference how hard you work, there's always more to do tomorrow. It's funny how newspapermen are always trying to tell school people how to run the schools; school people are telling businessmen how to run their businesses and businessmen are telling newspapers. And the thing goes' round and 'round and 'round. Free Chest X-Ray At Raisin's Friday The mobile X-ray survey unit of the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association is scheduled for setup Friday in western Anaheim during the final day of a five-day survey.

Hostesses and registrars will be members of the Magnolia School District P-TA Council. In its current swing through western Orange County, the truck-housed mobile X-ray unit has offered free chest X-rays to residents of Costa Mesa, Cypress, Westminster and Buena Park. It also was set up for an afternoon employee survey at US Electrical Motors, 1501 E. Santa Ana Freeway, Anaheim.

Starting Friday, the girls will be using their best salesmanship guidance a mother or father offer. These are the by-problems we encounter in which medical science can treat,"she continues. The BVR program which tempts to rebuild characters has torn down is a direct result of more than six months of co-operation between authorities and the Orange County TB Association. It's funny how newspapermen are always trying to tell school people how to run the schools; school people are telling businessmen how to run their businesses and businessmen are telling newspaper people how to run their newspapers. And the thing goes' 'round and 'round and 'round. Webster's good old word "permanent" must be changed to, "something a woman has which lasts only three months."

An experimental model of a machine was recently demonstrated at an eastern Joint Computer Conference in Washington D.C. It may eventually become valuable addition to those businesses which find it necessary write and identify large quantities of numerals. The device recognizes numbers as they are being written and dictates the numeral by lightening up the correct digit on a numbered panel.

Ike’s Budget Means $540 Tax Per Citizen The $73,934,000,000 federal expenditure total for 1958-59, submitted to Congress in the federal budget, means an over-all federal tax cost to Californians of $7,763,000,000, S. J. Arnold, general manager of California Tax-payers’ association, said today. For the 586,900 people in Orange County, the $73,934,000,000 proposed federal expenditure — unless it is cut back by Congress — means a tax burden of $317,192,000. Per capita-wise, the proposed federal expenditure for 1958-59 means a tax burden which averages $540 for each and every one of the 14,364,000 people in California at January 1, 1958. “This is somewhat higher than the per capita cost nationwide—because Californians, who comprise about 8.3 per cent of the nation’s population, carry about 10.5 per cent of the federal tax burden,” Arnold said. “On the same basis, Californians benefit relatively more for every dollar that Uncle Sam does not spend,” he pointed out. “California taxpayers will not resist meeting the legitimate requirements of national security.” P.A.’S TO MEET The Purchasing Agents’ Association of Los Angeles, Inc., Orange County Division, invites all purchasing agents to its dinner meeting at the Gourmet Restaurant, Disneyland Hotel, Monday evening, Jan. 20, at 6:30.

Anaheim merchants were told this morning in an informative talk by Assistant City Administrator Al Hair at a breakfast meeting of the retail merchant vision of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, their meeting of the year. "We are now up to the time where petitions will be circulated among the property owners in the district," Hair told the merchants. "The program as now set up is estimated to cost $453,000. This includes purchase of the property and removal of buildings, paving the lots and lighting costs," he added. City Will Contribute Hair went on to explain that the city will earmark $17,500 per year from on-street parking revenues toward the off-street parking costs, for a period of 20 years, or a total of $350,000 to be applied against the $450,000 total costs. $100,000 from Property Owners Assessments against property owners in the district would then be based on the balance needed, or approximately $100,000. Mr. Hair mentioned that property owners would have the option of making cash payments or allowing the assessment to be a bond issue and paid over a 20-year period. In either case the costs to any one property owner would not be excessive. Petitions must be signed by 51 per cent of the property owned in the district and must receive two-thirds of the assays valuation of the district. Parking Violators Hair also touched on the problem of drivers who park all day in tomer parking lots and, perhaps, try to avoid the two-hour drive by moving their cars during coffee breaks and at noon. He pointed out that the city ordinances read that cars are limited to hour parking on the lot, not in stall, so moving from one station another in the same lot does avoid penalty. All-day downtown parks feed the mgters were also pooled out as those who defeat the forts of those trying to provide more parking for downtown areas. O. G. Neal, president of the tail division, congratulated officials for their efforts made cope with this vital problem pledged full support of the division to work for more downtown parking.

"We believe the hospital was built by persons who had no previous experience in the very specialized field of hospital management. This was unfortunate. Our prime function is the management and operation of hospitals. Our past experience in this field has taught us that a hospital must be operated with the best interest of the public in mind at all times, and we have constantly endeavored to adhere to this principle. However, since we could not, in the case of Anaheim Memorial Hospital, come to a proper agreement with the parties concerned, we felt that in all fairness to you we should discontinue our interest in the hospital."
