THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Three-year-old Karen told her mother one day: "There are just three men in this world that I like". When asked by her mother who these three fortunate men might be Karen replied: "Santa Claus, Grandpa and God". I don't care where a woman is going, how fast she is going, or how late she is going to be getting there, if she sees a 'SALE' sign she'll stop dead in her tracks. Sign on a toy store window: "Toys for Children, including Pop". Probably one of the busiest men in Anaheim this season is Lt. Frank Brown of the Salvation Army. He already has a lot of irons in the fire and this month he's responsible for keeping the Salvation Army Christmas kettles boiling. Five-year-old Roberta sighed at the breakfast table as she remarked to her mother: "There may not be a Santa Claus but it's sure a good idea!" Prospect for Government Spending By RALPH ROBEY Twice President Eisenhower has spoken on Federal Government spending. The first was at his press conference the day after election. At that time he said he would devote the next two years to opposing reckless or unnecessary spending. The second was a few days ago when it became known that he had directed a memorandum to all government departments, except Defense, instructing them to hold their outlays to those approved by the Budget Bureau. The reason for the omission of Defense was not that there is no ceiling in this case, but rather that apparently its estimates have not jelled as much as those of the other departments. Back of these moves is the widely held belief that the new members of the Congress will be spenders. The President obviously is of this opinion, and so are most of the members of his cabinet. It is expected that we shall have bills for aiding so-called depressed areas, expanding unemployment compensation and perhaps social security, increased grants-in-aid to the states, aid to education, and a host of other things. The aggregate cost could run into the billions of dollars. In the current fiscal year ending next June 30 it is expected that federal expenditures will total $79.2 billion. That is under the regular or Administrative budget. Under the cash budget, which includes the trust funds, the total will be $94.1 billion. The latest official deficit estimate notification is or will become dependent upon increased government spending. This is true despite of the fact that the increase in spending during the past year has helped the recovery and made it more rapid than it otherwise would have been. At the moment it is the general expectation that we shall move to new high levels of economic activity, and this expectation is not based upon higher government spending. Third, there is a widespread belief that we are faced with further inflation. It is generally assumed that for the next several months we shall have reasonable stable prices, but following this will come another price rise. Many people this is the number one problem facing the nation. There is not too much agreement as to what will bring about the next round of inflation — some think it will continue to be wage rising faster than output per man hour, some that it will be the amount of government spending but all would agree that a further significant increase in government spending would be on the inflationary side. Finally, a further growth in government spending would mean that new fields were being entered by the Federal Government. This is neither necessary nor desirable. What we need is for some of the present functions to be returned to the states and localities. The present Administration has tried in a limited manner to accomplish this, but its success has been slight. More emphasis should be put on this part of its program. Five-year-old Roberta sighed at the breakfast table as she remarked to her mother: "There may not be a Santa Claus but it's sure a good idea!" A shoe company sent a couple of sales promoters to Africa to explore the possibilities of a market. One reported, "We can't sell shoes here, these people don't wear shoes". The other reported: "Nobody's got any shoes here. Send me four salesmen!" — From the Anaheim Optimist Club. Have no fear about the efficiency of the Anaheim post office. Under the able leadership of Marsh, Bart, Harvey and all the other boys and girls, the mail will go thru. Give them half a chance, just a little cooperation, and you'll be amazed at the results.

This is neither necessary nor desirable. What we need is for some of the present functions to be returned to the states and localities. The present Administration has tried in a limited manner to accomplish this, but its success has been slight. More emphasis should be put on this part of its program thereby reducing the size of the federal budget. What this all means is that President Eisenhower was completely correct in saying that he would oppose increased spending and in calling for the various departments to live within Budget Bureau limits. But it must be remembered that the President will be submitting according expectations, an $80 billion budget. That is not a good foundation from which to fight for economy and the President will need—we have to have—help. Presumably he will get help from within the Administration and from some members of the Congress. This may be enough to assure victory for him, but the prospect would be much better if the public joined in and let their Congress know that they are opposed to a further increase of spending.

The Very Young And Senior Group Accident Victims The very young and the senior citizen are the most frequent victims of pedestrian accidents, according to Captain F. E. Winchell of the California Highway Patrol's Anaheim Area. "The very young constitute some 21.4% of California's population, but they total 40.6% of the pedestrians who are killed or injured on our streets and highways." Captain Winchell continues. "At the other end of the age scale, the senior citizens make up about 8.2% of our population and 12.5% of the pedestrian accidents victims." The California Highway Patrol official noted that nearly half of all pedestrians killed or injured are committing unsafe traffic actions when hit. The most dangerous of these unsafe actions is crossing a street illegally, which accounts for 80.6% of the fatal and 85.5% of the non-fatal pedestrian accidents. As might be expected, by far the greatest ratio of "unsafe action" accidents involve children up to nine years old, Captain Winchell said. The senior group, 65 years and older, are relatively careful but lack the speed of activity needed to remain safe. "During this especially dangerous period of early nightfall, many lives can be saved if motorist and pedestrian alike will exert an extra measure of carefulness," Captain Winchell concluded.

Romulo, Philippine ambassador to the United States and former president of the United Nations General Assembly, declared that "Asia should look with gratitude at the United States, for it was this country that began the cycle of liberation in the 20th century." Communism Steps In He pointed out that Communism has taken advantage of a series of misunderstandings between Asia and America and now "poses as the sponsor of the liberation movements in Asia." Gen. Romulo spoke this morning at a session dealing with "America and the World—Today and Tomorrow." Also appearing at the session were Dr. Charles H. Malik, president of the 13th U.N. General Assembly, and Dr. Jose Correa, ambassador from Ecuador to the United Nations. Americans Can Do It In a luncheon address, Dr. Felix Morley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and editor, called for a return to the fundamental concepts of freedom on which America was founded. "There are many men at this Congress who could—if they would—restore to America life much of the sense of dedication that inspired the foundation of the United States," Mr. Morley declared. Among those slated to appear at afternoon sessions today are Clark Mollenhoff, from the Washington Bureau of the Des Moines (Iowa) Register and Tribune, nationally prominent novelist and historian, John Dos Passos, Sen.

Make Plans For March of Dimes Drive and Work At a recent meeting of the Orange County March of Dimes origanization, plans were laid for a wider range of activities which the group will undertake. In the same category as polio, the probables of arthritis and birth defects will be undertaken. Along this line, a film showing a number of patients, especially young children, affected by crippling arthritis was shown. Birth defects also played a prominent part in the film. Principal speaker for the evenning, a dinner meeting held at Knott's Berry Farm, was Mrs. Edward T. Walker, woman's advior to the National Foundation in Californiia. She spoke of the problams contingent to polio and the many problems to be met in the new fields. The polio program will not be abandoned but its pace will be increased as the need en-larges. Due to the heavy influx of residents from other states, the Free Chest X-Ray Unit At Broadway Kenneth M. Smith, M.D., chairman of the case finding committee for the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association, today urged that all of the household contacts of children who showed a positive reaction to the tuberculin testings conducted here recently "make it a point to have a free chest X-ray while the mobile chest X-ray unit is available in this area." At Broadway Center Dr. Smith noted that on Monday, Dec. 8, and Tuesday, Dec. 9, from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the unit will be located in section 17 of the parking lot (near Silverwood's) at the Broadway Shopping Center in Anaheim. The free chest X-rays are offered as a public service by the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association, and cost involved for providing the chest X-rays is paid for by the annual Christmas Seals Sale, which is Boys For Tots Is Marine Reservists Annual Campaign Since 1958 "Toys for Tots" camouflage of the Orange County MarCorps Reservists will beginember 1st and continue through December 19th, it was announced today by Captain Allan Molitor, commanding officer of the 15th Rifle Company of the One Corps Reserve.

Boys for Tots" was started by one Corps Reserve units on West Coast in 1948, Captain Molitor explained. Since that time, said, the idea has spread throughout the country; now, million of toys are distributed each to children who might otherwise fail to receive Christmas BENJAMIN EWING Benjamin F. Ewing, 62, a native Kansas who came to California years ago and who has lived his son, Floyd D. Ewing at Principals speaker for the evening, a dinner meeting held at Knott's Berry Farm, was Mrs. Edward T. Walker, woman's advisor to the National Foundation in California. She spoke of the problems contingent to polio and the many problems to be met in the new fields. The polio program will not be abandoned but its pace will be increased as the need enlarges. Due to the heavy influx of residents from other states, the Orange County load is not on the decrease. These new residents have come to California because of the mild temperatures which they hope will be beneficial to their polio conditions. Twenty-one years ago not much was known about polio and in this short time, great strides have been made. Among the many accomplishments, the Salk vaccine is the most widely known. Dr. Edward Lee Russell, county health officer, in his talk gave detailed statistics on the number of children with birth defects in Orange County. He stated that the national ratio is one out of every 16 births being afflicted. Mrs. W. C. Liesch of Buena Park was introduced as organizer of the Mothers March for the next drive and Mrs. H. O. Boyvey of Newport Beach has been named woman's advisor to the Orange County chapter. Heading the Orange County chapter is John A. McKittrick with Arthur R. McKenzie again named the March of Dimes chairman. A large and enthusiastic group of chapter workers were in attendance for the planning meeting. Circle Y Squares Set Season Dances Circle Y Squares have planned many activities for the month of December. Friday, December 5, will find Dick Ormsby of Fullerton calling for their regular dance. Max Normando of La Habra will do the honors on Friday, Dec. 19. Big plans are under way for the annual New Year's Eve dance. For this special affair the "One and Only" Jim Enloe will call. The square dance club will be served a buffet dinner at midnight catered by Mr. and Mrs. day, Dec. 8, and Tuesday, Dec. 9, from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., the unit will be located in section 17 of the parking lot (near Silverwood's) at the Broadway Shopping Center in Anaheim. The free chest X-rays are offered as a public service by the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health Association, and cost involved for providing the chest X-rays is paid for by the annual Christmas Seals Sale, which is currently underway. Chest X-Ray Importants "If contacts of a positive child are unable to be at the unit on these dates, we cannot overemphasize the need for those contacts seeing a physician for a chest X-ray." Dr. Smith said. A child who showed a positive reaction to the tuberculin testing does not necessarily have TB, Dr. Smith explained, but it does mean that the child has at some time or another in its life been in contact with someone who had TB. Tuberculosis is highly contagious, Dr. Smith added, and that is why it is so important that those in contact with a child who has been exposed to it should have a chest X-ray, for their own health's sake. Good Response in Anaheim Dr. Smith revealed that 10,135 children in the Anaheim elementary schools were tested during the tuberculin testing program here. The job could never have been done successfully, as it was, or done at all, he said, without the marvelous cooperation of the Anaheim school administration, its school nurses, teachers and members of the P.T.A. Physicians associated with both the TB association and the Orange County Health Department assisted in the program, which drew an approximately 90% consent of parents of the children. Dr. Smith stated that the number of positive reactions that showed up in the testing was less than the national average.
