THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) IF YOU think they haven't added a lot of color at Los Coyotes Country Club you haven't seen Ray Johnson, the new doorman. Ray is a colored boy standing in his stocking feet officially an 8 feet one inch. He's dressed in uniform and is the doorman at Los Coyotes. Ray has toured South America and has given exhibitions on his unusual height and was formerly employed at the Hollywood Plaza hotel. He's as thin as George Washington's cherry tree and tall enough to look Abraham Lincoln right smack dab in the eyes. He's the first man I ever saw who is taller than our famous Orange County tall man, John "Sky" Dunlap who only claims a height, as he puts it, 6 feet 18 inches. WHEN A LOCAL citizen was informed that Anaheim has nine candidates running for three city council seats his first comment was, "I wonder who or what they're all mad at". BOB CHAMBERS, who keeps telling me he's the "boss" at Boss Coverall & Linen Supply, has Centralia District School Board Expects Enrollment of 5192 in 1959 Time marches on to the pattern of feet beating a path to the doors of Centralia district schools. Palmer G. Campen, assistant superintendent in charge of business, made a survey of the number of pupils who will probably be attending classes in the school district by June, 1959. He reported to members of the school board that the district will have an estimated enrollment of 5192. Approximately 3935 pupils are expected to attend elementary classes in Centralia's schools from kindergarten through sixth grades in June this year. Total enrollment in the five schools for the first week in February revealed 3743 children. Enrollment a year ago was only 2626, or a 42% gain in 1958 over the same time in 1957. Two New Schools Planned New schools planned for next year are the Raymond Temple at 7800 Holder Street and a new one as yet unnamed to be constructed at 8301 Mars Drive. Howard O. Campbell Resigns As Secretary of North County YMCA Howard O.

Need 26 More Teachers Glen H. Dysinger, Sr., superintendent, reported to board that 26 additinoal teachers will be needed next year to pace with the enrollment figures. WHEN A LOCAL citizen was informed that Anaheim has nine candidates running for three city council seats his first comment was, "I wonder who or what they're all mad at". BOB CHAMBERS, who keeps telling me he's the "boss" at Boss Coverall & Linen Supply, has asked me to solicit nine Anaheim firms for membership in the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. It's my opinion that no firm should attempt to do business in any town without first joining the Chamber of Commerce. Armed with this belief I go out to do my duty and if anyone turns me down we'll just print their names, right here in this column. Bet that'll scare 'em. BUSINESS HERE at the Anaheim Gazette is really good and running smoothly thanks to visits this week from Gas Company Paul King and Right Number Herb Perry of Pacific Telephone. How can a guy go wrong when these two fellows keep such a close check? YOU CAN never tell what's going to be made next, can you, but now they are making four-layer diodes. I've always liked 3-layer Devil's Foods and if these diodes are chocolate frosted I know I'll like 'em. Reading further, however, it seems that the new little things are improved transistors and have no chocolate inside or out. ANOTHER LITTLE shower fell in Anaheim Wednesday and out came the 2x12s again. One of these days, sure as shooting, some one is going to slip off one of these slabs and float right down Center Street and out to the flood channel and into the blue Pacific. And then, some one will sue Anaheim for negligence: "failure to provide proper shipping facilities". BILL MOSES, the "turner-Uper" at Tustin, starts out a sentence like this: "And in underground vein—". Dear Bill, Howard O.
