MYRT WESTERING, RED WAGON INN MANAGER AT DISNEYLAND, WHO HAS THE BIGGEST AND BEST VOICE IN THE ANAHEIM ROTARY CLUB, WAS NOT AT THE CLUB LUNCHON MONDAY. MYRT HAS THE IDEAL FACE AND FIGURE FOR A SANTA CLAUS, JUST ADD THE WHISKERS AND YOU'VE GOT IT. Could he he's got an extra job during this rush season. WOW!! ORANGE COUNTY'S Santa Claus, seems to me, is Southern California Edison Company. It paid over a million dollars in taxes in this county this week. Some sockfull, eh? "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." Not so today. That's the eleventh hour when Pop is out rushing through the stores to do his Christmas shopping. Happens every year. This came from a Buena Park subscriber and it was signed, "subscriber". "Dear Sir: I noticed in your Dec. 4th paper in answer to a kiddie's letter you mentioned 'backside'. That is not a fitting thing to talk to kiddies about. Please be more careful in the future." Dear Subscriber—How come backside aint fitten for YOUR LEGISLATOR AT WORK! By Senator John A. Murdy, Jr. California's largest "women's club" is probably the one made up of the 3,000,000 housewives who save and redeem trading stamps. Shopping at the thousands of stores which give stamps of one kind of another as discounts for cash, these thrifty homemakers exchange them for many useful articles which their families otherwise would not enjoy. But trading stamps, like various forms of advertising, have been under attack from time to time since they first appeared on the business scene some 62 years ago. During the 1957 session of the legislature, several bills were introduced which proposed various restrictions, some severe enough to practically kill them. No action was taken on any of the measures, but their subject matter was referred to two interim groups; to a subcommittee of the Assembly governmental efficiency and economy, and to the Senate business and professions committee. Both groups have held public hearings in various parts of the state. The Senate committee recently chairman said his committee would consider eight proposals for study, including: Prohibition of the stamps; a requirement that the state be paid the value of all unredeemed stamps after a certain number of years; levying of a tax on the companies or firms that issue the stamps; restriction of the use of stamps in connection with the sale of any goods or services governed by fair trade acts; Require trading stamp companies to be organized as corporations or post bonds; make the redemption of trading stamps in cash, at stipulated rates, mandatory upon companies, if the stamp holders wish; establish a joint liability on the part of the issuer of the stamps together with the trading stamp companies; or maintain the status quo. At the conclusion of the hearings, the chairman of the senate committee indicated that the only legislation expected to be introduced at the 1959 session would be one aimed at controlling so-called "fly-by-night" companies. In the meantime reports from the Assembly interim committee hearings indicate that the lower house group will recommend no legislation at the coming session. Interesting Statistics Some interesting statistics were gleaned from the research conducted by the Senate committee. For instance, it showed that stamp company catalogs offer from 91 to 620 items, that roughly 10 per cent of these can be obtained for only one book, and that the numbers required for an "average" item ranged from three books up to eight. It was estimated it would take a "typical" family about four weeks for a one book item, an dabout 3½ months for an average item. This came from a Buena Park subscriber and it was signed, "subscriber". "Dear Sir:—I noticed in your Dec. 4th paper in answer to a kiddie's letter you mentioned 'backside'. That is not a fitting thing to talk to kiddies about. Please be more careful in the future." Dear Subscriber—How come backside slint fitted for kids? If more kids had more backsides of hair brushes with long handles applied to the backsides of their pants there would be more kids fitted to have Santa Claus visit them. But I liked your note. I detected a little sarcasm in it. I think "back" would have sufficed without "side" being added. This column is not written for use in English classes in Buena Park, however. Judge Claude Owens tells me he reads this column, which makes me real scared. He can make a man testify as to where he got his information. And no one knows where I get this stuff, not even me. Four Rotarians tried to make Coalson Morris, special laugh judge, laugh by telling funny stories. I knew how to make him laugh but they didn't ask me. As chairman of the Orange County Republican Central Committee, the only thing that would make Coalson laugh would be for him to get a Christmas card from Pat Brown reading, "Merry Christmas, You Dreamer!". And I wonder if Senator Knowland's cards read, "I wanted the right to work, and the voters gave it to me". He entered the newspaper business right after election and if that isn't work, just ask us. The Anaheim No. 1 post office lobby has been decorated for Christmas. It's perhaps the only decorated post office lobby in these United States and the happy thought is that it has been done at NO expense to the taxpayers. Bart, No. 1 assistant to P.M. Marsh McFie, swears to No action was taken on any of the measures, but their subject matter was referred to two interim groups; to a subcommittee of the Assembly governmental efficiency and economy, and to the Senate business and professions committee. Both groups have held public hearings in various parts of the state. The Senate committee recently submitted a comprehensive factual report as a result of the first of two hearings held this year, based on intensive research, which reviews trading stamp operations in detail. Eight Study Proposals In calling the hearings, the The Engagement Of Marion Phelps Told Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Willets Phelps of Fullerton have announced the betrothal of their daughter, Miss Marion Louise Phelps, to James Frank Atkinson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. James Frank Atkinson of Mexico, Missouri. News of the engagement was first told at a family dinner at the home of Mrs. John Wilson Phelps, of Los Angeles, paternal grandmother of the bride-elect. Miss Phelps attended Fullerton High School and is now in her last year of Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri. Her grandparents are Mrs. John Wilson Phelps and the late Mr. Phelps, and the late Doctor and Mrs. Bertnard Smith, all early residents of Los Angeles. Atkinson attended Mexico High School and is now a junior at the University of Missouri, majoring in geography. He is in the Air Force ROTC at the university and will receive his commission in the United States Air Force in 1960. His grandparents are Mrs. Joseph Atkinson and the late Mr. Atkinson, of Mexico, Missouri, and the late Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hopper of Mineola, Missouri. An August wedding is planned.

It's perhaps the only decorated post office lobby in these United States and the happy thought is that it has been done at NO expense to the taxpayers. Bart, No. 1 assistant to P.M. Marsh McFie, swears to that. I've even expected to go into the lobby some morning and find our box all draped with bells and holly. Real nice work, boys and girls. Don't use mistletoe, send your kisses by mail. Christmas parties are coming so thick and fast this year I think we'll start December on November 1 next year so we'll have two months of this fun. Clyde Nickle, high school administrator, has been elected deputy district governor of Kiwanis Clubs of this district. He tried two of his Kiwanis stories on the Rotary club, Monday. Not too bad. Congratulations, Clyde. Neighborhood Park At Peter Marshall School Is Planned A neighborhood school-park will be established at the Dr. Peter Marshall School jointly by the City of Anaheim and the Magnolia School District, announced Guy S. Balser, president of Magnolia's board of trustees. Lease arrangements have been completed between the two public agencies wherein school-owned acreage will be developed by the city as a neighborhood park during 1959. The school district will have continued use of the facility during school hours, and the community will be permitted free use of the grounds otherwise. The city of Anaheim has agreed to furnish an underground sprinkling system and provide lawns, trees and shrubs as needed, completing the above improvements during the calendar year of 1959. The policy of establishing neighborhood parks jointly with the Anaheim City and Magnolia School districts is one in which the City of Anaheim is providing increased recreational areas throughout the city.

Water St., is one of four college undergraduates from Orange County who has been awarded a student research training grant for the 1958-59 academic year by the California Heart Association.

The grants are awarded outstanding undergraduates who are conducting basic research projects of their own design, in addition to assigned courses. "The grants are provided to encourage promising young men and women majoring in science. In the hope that they will eventually decide upon full-time research careers in the biological sciences," according to Donald V. Mahony, M.D., president of the Orange County Heart Association. "Nearly $12,000 has been invested in training grants to 20 students since the California Heart Association's student aid program was established 18 months ago." Dr. Mahony added, pointing out the need for new talent in medical research. The three other Orange County students awarded grants are Stephen Atherton, of Santa Ana, who is attending Pomona College, Clarement: William Bartlett, Costa Mesa, and Neal Cornell, San Clemente, who are attending the University of Redlands, Redlands, California.
