THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) A church advertisement on my desk asked this question, "Can a Christian ever go to Hell?" I don't know, but Hell's coming real close to us this (Wednesday) afternoon. Irate citizens calls to ask who keeps the trash cans clean along Center Street. Or, who's supposed to do it? Seems like Irate Citizen thinks said trash cans could be kept cleaner, on the outside. How 'bout that, Keith? Earl Ryan announces the opening of the third cleaning establishment owned and operated by the Ryan family. It means he can take you to a cleaning no matter where you live in Anaheim. Ryan now qualifies as an old time businessman. He's been in business in Anaheim for 13 years. Ed Harloff, Cone Bros. Chevrolet new car salesman, proudly shows off the 1959 Chevrolet this week. He'll be most happy to see you at the showrooms to look over the latest model. It's wonderful. Don Rankin, United Fund Drive driver, is still driving his vehicle. Analysis Of Initiative Measures In Cost To California Taxpayers Assemblyman Bruce Sumner of Newport Beach released an analysis of what it will cost California taxpayers to pass all 18 initiative measures to be put before voters Nov. 4 in the general election. The report, prepared by the state's legislative analyst and his staff, determines, if possible, state costs built into any measure which is to be enacted into law. A similar report is prepared, said Sumner, for legislation introduced by legislators on the floor of the Assembly or Senate. Here is a proposition-by-proposition rundown on probable costs if all measures are passed by the voters. (Costs are figured only from the state's viewpoint and "no cost" means only that additional state monies will not be expended on the measure; local funds may be expended on some measures.) PROPOSITION No. 1 — veterans' bond act—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 2 — school bonds — partial repayment from school districts which borrow; balance of debt service to be met from general fund. PROPOSITION No. 3 — State construction program bonds — $100,100,000 from general fund, based on interest requirement to amortize the latest sale of general obligation bonds in July, 1958. PROPOSITION No. 4 — Harbor development bonds—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 5 — Compensation of legislators — either $499,600 or $547,000 depending on application of bond proposal—$25,000. PROPOSITION No. 7 — Disaster operation of government—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 8 — Presidential voting — no cost. PROPOSITION No. 9 — General legislative session — $90,000. PROPOSITION No. 10 — Immediate possession in eminent domain on airports and school districts—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 11—Local street and road bonds—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 12—Legislator as notary—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 13 — Appointment of superintendent of public instruction—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 14 — Compensation of local officers—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 15 — Boxing and wrestling on Sundays and Memorial Day—no cost. PROPOSITION No. 16 — Taxation of parochial and private schools—no cost (affects local property taxes). PROPOSITION No. 17—State sales, use and income tax rates—loss of $47,100,000 first year; additional losses thereafter. PROPOSITION No. 18—Right to work—no cost. Sumner, who seeks reelection in the general election to his present post as assemblyman in Orange County's 74th District, has been appearing throughout the county on speaking engagements Tuberculin Testing Program Started For Pupils in Anaheim School System Robert Shanks, superintendent of the Anaheim elementary schools, today urged the prompt return of the tuberculin testing consent slips that were sent home with the children this week for parent or guardian signature. "No child will be tested during this program without that consent," Shanks said, "and it is necessary to the planning of the program in our Anaheim elementary schools in November that we know how many children will be included." Shanks especially cited the cooperation, time and energy, of P.T.A., Community Coordinating Council and the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Assn., representatives in preparing the 14,000 letters and informational materials that were sent out. The tuberculin testing program is being provided by the county TB assn., in cooperation with the school district and the Orange County Health Department. Parents Cooperation Important "Parental help and cooperation in this School Health Program will contribute immeasurably to the knowledge of tuberculosis in our community and assist in the further control of this communicable disease," Shanks pointed out. Working closely with Aldis Johnson, M.D., city school physician, as part of the medical team, is Raymond Ross, M.D., chairman of the Medical advisory committee of the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Assn., Partici- pating in the program from the Health Dept. is Edward Lee Russell, M.D., county health officer. TB Not Inherited Dr. Ross stressed that the tuberculin test cannot give a child TB. "You catch TB from someone who has it," Dr. Ross said. "TB is not inherited. It is caused by a germ, and you can not get TB unless the TB germ is in your body. Poor living conditions, inadequate food and excessive fatigue help TV develop and spread." Dr. Ross explained that the test consists of having a physician in charge put a drop of harmless liquid, a pure substance, in the outer layer of skin in the forearm. It is a practically painless procedure. If a child has a positive reaction, it will show up as a spot between 40-90 hours after the testing. "A positive reaction to the testing does not necessarily mean that the child has the disease at the time of the testing," Dr. Ross explained. "It means that at some time in the child's lifetime he has been in contact with a person with active tuberculosis." As a result of the tuberculin testing, the parent will know if his child has TB germs in his body. A positive reaction to a TB test points out to the parent the particular need for his child to have regular medical check-ups and an annual chest X-ray to make sure that the body resistance is controlling the TB germs, Dr. Ross said. Knowland, at the press breakfast, said of Knight: "He has a right to run an independent campaign. It has been done before". On Pat Brown, "He's committed to the Democratic platform which includes repeal of the Taft-Hartley law and is controlled by labor bosses". In answer to "Why did you come back to run for governor?" the senator said, "California is about to be taken over by labor bosses. 1960 would be too late and four years from now would be much too late". What I'd like to do is put on a campaign for more comfortable seats in church. Why is it that worshipers should be made to suffer sitting in stiff pews, with no upholstering, while theatre goers enjoy plush reclining seats and air conditioning? Why is this? We hereby announce, without fear of contradiction, that the weather will be cooler in Anaheim. It's got to be. We'll take bets and make book on it. The thermostat has been stuck but will be replaced with one that will work shortly. A trillion is a million million, or 1 followed by 12 zeroes. A million inches is just short of 16 miles. MRS.

The number of workers employed in Los Angeles and Orange Counties reach 2,507,900, an increase of 18,500 since August. This was the largest month-to-month gain reported so far this year, and to an important extent reflected favorable seasonal developments. The staffing needs in the schools provided the major impetus for the overall uptrend and carried employment in the service industries to an all-time high. Aircraft employment showed virtually no change, but total manufacturing employment increased for the fourth successive month. Seasonal expansion in food canning and the start of production in the new automobile models paced the September upswing.
