THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) HERE IS Anaheim Optimist Club's offering for this week: "After a thorough examination the psychiatrist asked if there was any insanity in the man's family. 'There must be,' he replied, 'They keep writing me for money.'" DEFINITION of a beauty shop:—A place where a permanent is given that lasts only three months and where three hour under a dryer seem like three months. AT THE Garden Theatre third-week one of the features is called, "The Great American Pastime". I'm not sure what this is about but I think it has something to do about finding errors in newspapers. NOW they are getting smart. At the GM dinner next Tuesday night at the Gourmet they are going to serve boneless squab. In other words, that's a polite way of saying, "Don't pick up the meat in your hands." PAUL KING, Southern Counties Gas Company public relations director, Anaheim, got his name in Cec Rospaw's Editor's column.

Southern Counties Gas Company public relations director, Anaheim, got his name in Cec Rospaw's Editor's Notebook column this week. He gets it in our column too, once in a while. But over there he had to go over and drill a bunch of holes in the alley to do it. Here he just leaves the front of his office building blank. Not a single sign of a sign, and customers come to Center Street with their little blue gas cards and act like tourists looking at tall buildings. CEC also had a nice paragraph about Anaheim's fabulous growth as reported by the well prepared planning commission report. It says that in 1965 Anaheim will probably have a population of 165,000. You just keep saying nice things about us, Cec and we'll be liking you so much we'll come over and annex you. JACK DUTTON, candidate for city council, has been in our office darned near every day this week telling us how to run our paper. Here's hoping he gets elected and the city keeps him busy. AND MAYOR Chas. Pearson was too busy to come to a breakfast meeting of the Chamber of Commerce retail merchants division this morning. That shows you how tough it is to be mayor. He's offered so many free meals he can't accept them all. I feel sorry for mayors and newspaper editors. DAVE COLLINS.

Denied A Rehearing LOS ANGELES, March—The California Public Utilities Commission announced it has reaffirmed a previous ruling that the Dyke Water Company must stop serving four tracts within the service area of the Orange County Waterworks District No. 3. In 1954 the Commission enjoined the company from expanding within the boundaries of the Waterworks District. A 1956 decision found that the company had "deliberately violated" a 1954 order by expanding into Tracts 2428, 2429, 2179 and 2612, but permitted the company to serve them until the Waterworks District was able to provide service. That order was held up pending Dyke's appeal to the State Supreme Court, which was denied. The latest Commission order, denying the Dyke Company a rehearing, provides for the Orange County Waterworks District to specify the exact time when it will serve the tracts, after which the Dyke Company must cease. Tracts 2428 and 2429 are located at Nutwood Street and Lampson Avenue; Tract 2179 is at Trask Avenue and Newhope Street, and Tract 2612 at Trask Avenue and Verano Street.

Appear- Retail Merchants Take Action In Group Meeting Anaheim downtown merchants tackled four tough problems this morning at their monthly breakfast meeting of the Chamber of Commerce division. Like almost every other city in California, or in any state, for that matter, Anaheim has downtown parking problems. And those problems involve the city officials, property owners and business interests. When these various interests get together there is bound to be differences of opinion and it takes time to get a consensus. However Anaheim downtown merchants and city officials have made progress and additional parking space is being made available. Another problem tossed out to the group was the lack of proper directional signs leading from the freeway to downtown Anaheim. This solution seems to be quite near, thanks to the action of the city council and the cooperation of Chamber of Commerce committees. O. G. Neal, president of the retail merchants division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, tactfully approached another difficult decision for the group when he asked about night closing, or opening, hours. It was suggested that, in order to compete with outlying shopping areas, it might Opposes "Spot" Zohing The pioneer resident of the city said he joins with all residents of Anaheim in protest against spot zoning and will work, as a member of the council, to see that a master zoning plan is used whenever possible.

His Pledge "If reelected I will continue to work for a sound, progressive program of city administration that is brought more people to Anaheim and has made more people willing to invest in the city, making Anaheim the largest city in the county, in size, population and assessed valuation," Schutte concluded.

This is a group of mothers who meet alternate Thursday evenings at the school to make items for the gift shop, one of the booths planned for the carnival, Saturday, May 10.

O. G. Neal, president of the retail merchants division of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, tactfully approached another difficult decision for the group when he asked about night closing, or opening, hours. It was suggested that, in order to compete with outlying shopping areas, it might be necessary for downtown merchants to keep their stores open on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays until 9 p.m. The group decided to give these hours additional study and try to plan shopping hours to accommodate the greatest number of shoppers. Councilmen A. J. Schutte and Rex Coons were present at the meeting and added much information regarding city cooperation with parking and directional sign progress.
