THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) THE WOMEN are the weaker sex. Hah! Don't let them pull that old stuff on you, buddy. Just ask for one example. Just one! HERE'S where I get in bad with the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. So bad that I'll probably never be spoken to again. Have you noticed the beautiful Christmas decorations still in the Chamber of Commerce office display window? It attracted more attention yesterday than it probably did a month previous. THE BROADWAY Store employees, right here in Anaheim, are happy to have their manager, Brown McPherson, back at his desk after a short New Years trip to the hospital. LAST WEEK I was sure I found a mistake made by Herb Perry's telephone company. But I was wrong. The Anaheim Building and Loan Association is listed in the directory as "Anaheim Savings and Loan Association. J. Bernard Soto, the Association's manager, tells me the name will be changed as soon as the Securities Commission gives its O.K. Plea Made to Anaheim Resident To Furnish Uniform for a General Here's a situation which calls for considered dedication. Down in Taxco, Mexico, there is a General who medals, but no clothes on which to pin them. It's a listen to this report direct from our special correspondent in Taxco, Mexico. "When I get the General supplied with medals, needs clothes to cover his nakedness." Our special correspondent goes on to explain, as follows: "And I mean that. For I found him one day, as the professional photographer of Taxco was waiting for him, he had a towel drawn over the front of his pants from waist to knees. I rise an eye and, amigo, he NEEDED that towel." Here's a little more of the story: When Senor and Seniorita Kuchel, of the Anaheim Gazette, were visiting their friend Dorothy Macdonald, in the spring of 1957, in Taxco, Mexico, they were introduced to the General of Taxco, who is the official greeter of Taxco. Senor Kuchel asked for a "glossy" of the General so he could publish the picture in The Gazette, along with a human interest story. Now, here's the balance of our story from our special correspondent, Dorothy Macdonald: "No, not for one day did I forget the business of supplying a glossy of the General, plus a sketch of his 'career' of daydream battles, but I keep running into hurdles all along. The General has refused to pose without a uniform. Since then some friends in Los Angeles have sent a Harris tweed suit which is now at the tailor's being cut to the General's size. He is half starved all the time and sleeps on the cobblestones of our streets near downtown and so he feels comfortable." Like Ike' buttons remain. I him two peacock feathers to sit in his hat band (and how pleasured him!) But he does that his position will suffer if is not decked out in 'decorations' as he calls them. Empty Those Bureau Draws "Could you make an appeal to the General? Maybe if but drawers were searched they would reveal treasure from bygone erventions and such. How About a Costume? "Would it not be marvelous we could find in some costumes outfitters a real General's complete with fringed epaulets brass buttons and the womens And a General's cap, of course Right now Taxco's General isuced to wearing a slouch hat felt with chicken feathers adornment. He wears em flashlights, nuts and bolts of gris size, for "decorations". A gritty and I'll bet your fine city could and would change all that I leave it to you, Senor Kuchel." LAST WEEK I was sure I found a mistake made by Herb Perry's telephone company. But I was wrong. The Anaheim Building and Loan Association is listed in the directory as "Anaheim Savings and Loan Association, J. Bernard Soto, the Association's manager, tells me the name will be changed as soon as the Securities Commission gives its O.K. Then the telephone directory will be right, as usual. THE REASON bankers always have money in their pockets and newspaper guys don't. I have decided, is that in most organizations to which I belong they elect a banker to be treasurer and I get the job of publicity. IF ANAHEIM ever elects or recognizes a "Woman of the Year" my vote will go to Martha Schumacher, president of The SQR Store. For the last few years I've been telling my friends I belong to almost every organization except the Girl Scouts and the BAPW. But now, here comes Martha on the advisory board of the YMCA. Don't be surprised if you see me in a Brownie outfit selling Girl Scout cookies this fall. HEARD A lady at the table behind me say, "I'm so tired I can hardly keep my mouth open". WE'RE GETTING so committee minded here in 1958 that this week I heard about a committee which is meeting to see why the committees aren't functioning. MARIE SEMPER, the gal next door who came from Czechoslovakia a few years ago, has sarned much pep she discourages me. I'll never make it. If all people over there are so ambitious I'm glad I'm in Anaheim. APPLICATIONS are now being accepted at City Hall for Council posts. Pay is $50 per month, no experience required.

He is half starved all the time and sleeps on the cobblestones of our streets, poor dear, and so he never has any surplus flesh on his bones. Needs Medals, Too "Soon the General of Taxco will be properly clothed (including a dress shirt) but now he is fresh out of medals. Only two, T Free Tickets to Gazette Readers Free theatre tickets which will be honored for admission to the Garden Theatre in Anaheim will be given each week to some readers of The Gazette. Arrangements have been made with Mr. White, manager of the Garden Theatre, for the Gazette to publish the names of five couples each week. These ten people will be given free admission to the Theatre if the page with their names listed is taken to the theatre. Check the columns of the paper this week and look for the names listed.

A NEARBY newspaper this week came out with the headline: "Evening high school Offers new courses in Crime and Delinquency". Wow, wonder if Chief of Police Mark Stephenson knows about this. He's trying to fight that stuff. IF BUSINESS has gone where so many say it has gone, why is it Chamber of Commerce speakers tell us to keep looking up? NO ONE can do anything about the weather, they say, but I sure do wish my paper delivery man would wrap my daily paper in wax paper when he sees a cloud in the sky. JIMMY SIDES, our super duper Oldsmobile salesman at Hardin Olds, doesn't even let a coffee break stop his work. He drives that passionate "heather" colored Olds right up in front of the Snack Shop, and leaves it "on display" while he's drinking coffee. It attracts attention from the patrons and, who knows, someone may insist on buying it. MRS. BERTHA LAWLESS Bertha Catherine Lawless, 70, a native of Missouri and a resident of Anaheim for eight years living at 10532 S. Los Angeles St., died Saturday night at the Orange County Hospital.
