THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Heard two golfers comparing scores at a breakfast committee meeting. Both were bankers. One said he went out in 51 and came back in 51. The other wont out in 47 and came back in 47. Seems like bankers never forget that both sides of the ledger must balance. If they go out in 50 they think they must make it back in 50 to balance the books. Wow! what next? Here's a telegram which reads: "Here's the pitch. We've got lots of free booze, food for newsmen". It's a long telegram and an invitation to see the biggest new addition to a cow auction. Strange as it may seem, promise of free booze and food won't cause newsmen to rush to the scene of activity. We have those offers every day. What this country needs most is an automatic hair cutting machine. These tonsorial artists that get you in the chair and proceed to give you a lecture on world affairs, and even stand out in front of you and wave the scissors and comb, have got to go. You probably heard about the chap who had spent a night out with the boys and suddenly re- Judge Gardner Accepts President Orange County AID-United Givers The Honorable Robert C. Gardner, presiding judge of the Superior Court at Santa Ana, has been elected president of the Board of Directors of AID-United Givers of Orange County. AID-United Givers is an association of charitable donors who support local health and welfare organizations through the payroll deduction plan of giving at their place of employment. A New Organization Judge Gardner assumes the job of president of the local group as it converts from a Council of individual AID chapters to a fully constituted Board of Directors within the southern California-wide family of AID organizations. The former Council of AID Chapters had been collecting funds for disbursement to local charities since mid-1955. Primary purpose of the AID-United Givers program, Judge Gardner announced, is to assure local charities sufficient funds to carry on their work through a broadening of the base of charitable giving. Payroll Deduction Plan The most efficient way that has been found to accomplish this goal, the judge added, is through the payroll deduction method of giving. "Employees are asked to make one yearly donation through AID-United Givers. In return the campaigning charitable causes agree not to solicit those who join AID-United Givers, at work or at home. "Our experience has shown," Judge Gardner said, "that when employees are able to take ad- charities they do so in increasing numbers." He cited the rapidly acceding growth of contributing residents of Orange County through AID-United Givers ing the first full year of the cill's operation, records show $44,000 was pledged. The ing year pledges jumped most $170,000. For the fiscal that ended April 30, 1952 dollars pledged reached 800. More Cooperation Anticipation "We anticipate a proper increase for the current Judge Gardner said, and that, "formation of the B Director should provide a basis for the development creased participation by County residents in the United Givers way of sharing charities." The AID-United Givers range County Board of D consists of 18 civic-conscious who are donating their time talent to this program. As AID-United Givers Board membership is tripartite, eing of six men represent General Public, six represent Management and six represent Organized Labor. Officers of the Board who elected at the formation m in addition to Judge Gardner Paul K. Doyle, Union Oil company Research Center, Bre president; Walter A. Corbitt Insurance & Trust Co., Ana, treasurer; and Will Fountain, secretary-treasury. What this country needs most is an automatic hair cutting machine. These tonsorial artists that get you in the chair and proceed to give you a lecture on world affairs, and even stand out in front of you and wave the scissors and comb, have got to go. You probably heard about the chap who had spent a night out with the boys and suddenly realized that daylight was dawning. What about the little woman. He telephoned her and shouted, "Don't pay the ransom, honey, I escaped". Cec. Rospaw, editor of The Placentia Courier and faithful reader of every paragraph in this column, says the magic number in Placentia this week is "58-3". That's the number of a 4,500 acre annexation. 4,500 acres? That's taking in a lot of territory, Cec! I must explain to Cec that the 1,100 figure I used two weeks ago, bragging about how Anaheim is growing every month 15 correct. It didn't say, Brother Rospaw, that that many people were moving into Orange County. You must learn to analyze figures, Cec. Annexations account for a good measure, ol' boy! This includes everybody and I'll bet Editor Val Lucas doesn't have a friend left in Yorba Linda after publishing this paragraph in his Yorba Linda Star last week: "People who think an editor ought to do a better job because he stays home on a long holiday weekend are narrow minded". Here's something to tell your wife when she complains about your take-home pay: Elfrida Von Nardoff, record winner on a quiz show, with $220,500, was able to keep only $50,000. Of course, that's not bad pay, even at that. Handicapped Kids Have Fun with the Anaheim Javcees A large group of handicapped Adolf Schoepe Is General Chairman For Anaheim United Fund Campaign Adolf Schoepe, a manufacturing executive who is one of Orange County's outstanding public spirited citizens, has answered the mandate of the newly formed Citizens Advisory Committee of seventy to serve as general chairman of the United Fund campaign to raise $175,000 in Anaheim and adjacent communities. It was announced this week. Schoepe will lead the movement to raise $52,000 more than heretofore for the 14 participating human service groups, and to sustain the United Fund plan in the communities of Anaheim, Centralia, Cvpress, Los Alamitos, Magnolia and Stanton. Goal Up 12% The budget goal is up 12 percent over that of last year. Last year's campaign, however, failed to meet its goal by 21 per cent. therefore the need to raise 42 per cent, or $52,000 more than in the last campaign. When Adolf Schoepe relinquished his interests and the presidency of the Kwikset Look Company a year ago, he knew he would have a very busy year ahead of him as he launched a brand new industry in Anaheim known as Fluidmaster, Inc. Having served as the general chairman for the Ahwahnee Boy Scout Camp Development Fund of $185,000 which was oversubscribed in May, 1957, he did not feel he should assume another major role in community activities until his new business was firmly established. A Community Obligation When the Citizens Advisory goal, the judge added, is through the payroll deduction method of giving. "Employees are asked to make one yearly donation through AID-United Givers. In return the campaigning charitable causes agree not to solicit those who join AID-United Givers, at work or at home. "Our experience has shown," Judge Gardner said, "that when employees are able to take advantage of this simple, practical way to support their favorite "When you become so much part of the community in you do business, you naturally obligated to do all you can help that community become better place in which to live work, or transact business." "I believe you help more when you give the United Counsels Schoepe." "It also it is important to give each for all when you give once," wise we shall have 14 se campaigns instead of one Fund! A well organized Fund saves the time and cost of busy men and women, money, assures careful buddies and raises more money." A Real Philanthropist Dr. Bob Kevorkian, past the First Baptist Church chairman of the Citizens Advisory Committee for the United States stated, "We are fortunate in ing a public spirited citizen as Adolf Schoepe accept the date from our committee to this great teamwork project human services for this city and urgent United Fund paign. He practices what preaches. He is generous with time and material resource addition to his support of United Fund, the Boy Scout Development program and other worthwhile projects, he established the Martha Scott Foundation in the name of mother.

Handicapped Kids Have Fun with the Anaheim Javcees A large group of handicapped children from the Anaheim area were hosted by the Anaheim Jaycees at the Sheriffs Rodeo in the Los Angeles Coliseum Sunday, Aug. 31. Reserved seats, transportation and food were provided by the Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce. Bill Barker, committee chairman, was assisted by Dick Tuthill and Ernie Atkinson. Barker said, "The expressions of happiness on the children's faces were very gratifying and a wonderful time was had by all". The Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce recently entertained 25 handicapped children from Vallejo for three fun-filled days which included a wonderful day at Disneyland, a grand tour of Anaheim and the surrounding area and Knott's Berry Farm. Barker, chairman, and Bob Campbell, co-chairman, would like to express their sincere thanks to all the Anaheim Jaycees and their families who housed, fed, and provided transportation for the children. The Anaheim Jaycees are constantly helping and entertaining not only the handicapped and underprivileged children of Anaheim, but children from various states throughout the country. A Community Obligation When the Citizens Advisory Committee called upon him to assume the heavy leadership responsibility for the United Fund campaign which will open on or about Oct. 15, Schoepe stated, The growth of the Anaheim Elementary School system was revealed this week when District Superintendent Bob Shanks gave the following facts at the first meeting of teachers and district personnel Monday morning. In his talk to the group Shanks recalled that in 1952 Anaheim had only six elementary schools plus Fremont for 7th and 8th graders. In this system were 81 teachers and 16 non-certificated employees. There were about 1,500 children to be distributed among these teachers, or less than 20 pupils per teacher average. Today, Shanks told the group 11,750 pupils are expected in Anaheim Elementary system; 391 fulltime certificated employees and 129 non-certificated ones. This averages about pupils per teacher. 12th Largest District Shanks brought out the fact that the Anaheim City School district today has the distinction of being about the 12th largest independent elementary school district in the state of California.

For the fiscal year that ended April 30, 1958 total dollars pledged reached $195,000. More Cooperation Anticipated "We anticipate a proportional increase for the current year," Judge Gardner said, and added that, "formation of the Board of Directors should provide a firmer basis for the development of increased participation by Orange County residents in the AID-United Givers way of supporting charities." The AID-United Givers of Orange County Board of Directors consists of 18 civic-conscious men who are donating their time and talent to this program. As in all AID-United Givers Boards, the membership is tripartite, consisting of six men representing the General Public, six representing Management and six representing Organized Labor. Officers of the Board who were elected at the formation meeting addition to Judge Gardner are: Paul K. Doyle, Union Oil Company Research Center, Brea, vice president; Walter A.

Utt, State Civic Center Proposal Not on November Ballot The Board of Supervisors of Orange County this week decided against putting the controversial civic center proposal before the voters in the November election. Evidently believing that Orange County voters are not qualified to deal with so many confusing issues at one time the Board has agreed to put the county taxpayers to additional expense by having a special election some time next spring when the civic center bond issue will be the only one on the ballot. A special press release from the Board of Supervisors regarding this issue follows: "The Board of Supervisors had planned to place on the November 4th election ballot a proposal for Civic Center Bonds. "After studying the ballot for that election they have come to the conclusion that with the variety of local and state proposals for consideration, it would be difficult to give the Civic Center Proposal the attention it deserves. They have therefore decided to hold a special election some time in March, 1959, for this purpose. "The Board feels that the need for Civic Center development is acute, should be given full consideration, and the people should be adequately advised as to how..."

Los Angeles C of C Endorses Prop. 7 Belief that California should be equipped to carry on civil government functions in case of an all-out thermo-nuclear attack prompted endorsement of Proposition 7 by the Los Angeles City Council. Los Angeles C of C Endorses Prop. 7 Belief that California should be equipped to carry on civil government functions in case of an all-out thermo-nuclear attack prompted endorsement of Proposition 7 yesterday by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. For Emergency Procedures George B. Gose, Chamber president, said his directors urged support of the measure, which would amend the state constitution to provide for emergency procedures for selecting state officials during a wartime disaster. Gose said the Chamber believes the proposal was ably prepared and based upon thorough and careful study by State Bar and Los Angeles Bar Association Committees. He called the proposition a "pioneering measure, which no other state has yet adopted." California Is Vulnerable "California, with its heavy concentrations of population, important industrial centers and military bases, would be especially vulnerable to attack during wartime," Gose said. Proposition 7 would provide for filling offices of legislators or governor in case of death or disabling injury by one-fifth of legislators or the incumbent governor. It would also provide for convening of general or extraordinary legislative sessions, for elections to fill vacant or temporarily-occupied offices and for temporary location of the state capital and county seats. Proposition No. 4 An Aid to Harbors By a vote of nearly three to one, the San Diego Chamber of Commerce has endorsed Proposition No. 4, the State Harbor development Bond Law, on the November ballot. Proposition No. 4 provides for a $60 million self-liquidating bond issue to provide for additional small craft refuge harbors and other facilities for California's $7 million-a-year small boat industry. It also provides for the modernization of the State harbor in San Francisco. Other groups which have indicated their support of Proposition No. 4 are: the State Chamber of Commerce, the California Taxpayers' Association, both major political parties and many other local groups.
