Each Leo Harpin "My elementary schooling was in Eastern Canada; my University education at Bryant Business College, Woodbury College and U.C.L.A. In 1942 I entered the Marine Corps and was honorably discharged in 1945. During my military service I was a non-commissioned Finance Officer. In 1946 I opened an Accounting and Tax Office in Anderheim, which I maintained until 1950. In 1950 I was asked to promote Alex Foods, Inc., as an outside auditor. Through promotion, management and careful planning this company grew from a backyard shop of $125,000 annual business to a 5½ million dollar business with more than 225 employees. In 1955 I was elected vice president and secretary of this company. "I am a charter member of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Lions Club, Elks Club, Society of California Accountants and Society of American Accountants. I have been an associate director and a director of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce for four years.

Should the city government be represented by districts? 3. Should the council be elected at large or by districts? 4. Do the people want to elect their mayor? 5. Making a searching review of our present fiscal policies and formation of a long-range policy. 6.
