THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) THIS IS Tony Whan talking extemporaneously to the Sales Executives Club of Orange County. (He's senior vice president of Pacific Outdoor Advertising): "When you salesmen walk in to see a customer don't ask him how business is. He'll tell you its bad. You'll join with him and say 'Yep, that's what the guy down the street said', Pretty soon you've started a depression." MAGNOLIA School District Vol. 1 No. 1 of "Three R's Plus", says, "Under the free, American system, the school has only partial responsibility for the child—basic discipline and spiritual orientation remain the duty of the home and church. The theory of non-free countries is that such a system as ours is mixed up and will not work." Yes, Magnolia, you are right, but ask some juvenile authorities and judges and they'll quickly point to some mixed up cases where church and home have slipped. VELMA and "SKY" Dunlap will soon become known as the Walter Winchell's of Orange County. They are editors and publisher.

For every child whose parents are federally connected, the school district receives $725. This money is an outright grant and does not have to be paid back by the school district through taxes.

This is the second federal survey this school year, the first one taking place last October. The district will be surveyed one more time before the school year is over. Last year 6 per cent of the children in Centralla School district were reported eligible for money from the federal program. This amounted to more than $165,000.

Kuchel made known his conquered opposition to an Interior Department "partnership" proposal in a letter to the House Interior and Insular Affairs committee which opened hearings on bill by Representative Hubert Hudder of California to authorize consummation of a contract which Pacific Gas & Electric would purchase "falling water" at Trinity Dam. Kuchel pointed out that the comptroller General of the Unit States recently challenged certain existing contracts between the Reclamation Bureau and Pacific Gas & Electric. He said it "incredible" that Congress would think of perpetuating practices which the Comptroller General charged do not sufficiently protect federal interests. Unearth Serious Errors Supplementing his latest statement, the California senator reminded the House committee that last year he unearthed serious errors in Interior Department computations about the financial effect of the proposed P. G. & E. contract. At that time, Kuchel asked why Congress should turn to a private utility the generating capacity of a dam built with public funds and then be forced to spend millions of additional dollars to purchase electricity from the plant for military installations and other federal arms in California. Could Endanger Agriculture Kuchel further called the House committee's attention to his warner last year that the "partner-up" arrangement might drastically alter or destroy the basic accept of the Central Valley project because it would permit flowing off of water for powerposes at a rate that could enger the ability of the project meet agricultural requirements.

Does the Ghost of Dr. Jonas Salk Walk at Magnolia? Dr. Jonas Salk School in Magnolia School District has a ghost. At 6 p.m., Wednesday, custodian Halbert Sluder ate his lunch as usual in the school kitchen. On leaving he carefully checked all inside doors, turned out the lights, and locked the outside door. At 7:30 p.m. he happened to note the light was on. The outside door was locked. He entered and found the icebox door ajar. The next day, Sluder was doubly careful to shut all the doors and turn out the light. But at 7:45 p.m., he found the light on again, the outside door tightly locked. The icebox was still secure, but one inside kitchen door had been opened. The ghost is quite tidy and scrupulously honest. Nothing has been taken. One theory is that some person with proper authority and a key just happened to visit the premises without telling the custodian, but that idea is so humdrum. Call EE 5-2206 for Want Ads
