THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Happy New Year! Why not? If you are mad at someone, forget it. They are only people. If you are poor, forget it. Perhaps it's only money you lack. If you have your health, your sense of humor, and a little good judgment, don't worry, you'll have a happy New Year. Here's a Santa Claus letter to top all Santa Claus letters: to Santa. Thank you for my bake and my other toys. I hope you have a nice toy nack year and I hope you have a nice time at north pole and I hope you have a marry Christmas and gave the por people nice toys. From Stephen Harmon. It used to be that almost no one died out here in California. Or, if they did, there were plenty of cemeteries to bury them. But now, with all these softy Easterners coming out here, cemeteries are being located almost as thick as shopping centers. In other words, it pays to stay alive or you'll find yourself in a cemetery, or annexed to one. Orange County started out 1958 with an official population figure of 588,900. People were pouring into Orange County in 1957 at the average rate of 6,300 per month according to the California Taxpayers Association report. The county showed a population increase of 171.4 per cent over the April 1950 census figure of 216,224. The Orange County Progress Report, published in September, 1958, gave the next official indication of growth when it reported a total population figure of 652,608 for June 1, 1958. The year end figure was not available at this writing. Just as an indication of how future it has been for reliable companies to depend on future plans is plainly indicated when, in the same paper as the Janaury 1 population figure appeared, the Southern Counties Gas Company had a story saying it expected a gain in Orange County population for the year 1958 to be 55,000. Yet, according to the actual census count on June 1, 1958 the gain had already amounted to 65,-708. Pedro Ortiz, reported to be the oldest living citizen in the Southland died in Anaheim at the age with its new census count known. The March 1 figure announced by City Clerk Williams was 78,376. But that had hardly fallen back into the typewriter carriage because was boasting of an 8 figure and today, December Marie Wilkie, Chamber of Commerce official, modestly refreshed from making a statement. But seriously, it must be nearing 100,000 mark. How big can get? Good news for Anaheim dentists was contained in the M 13th Anaheim Gazette which told of the opening of Ana Memorial Hospital with 72 James W. McAlvin was named its administrator and Jim is out there and doing a top-job. Anaheim Building and Loan association announced it changing its name to Ana "Savings" and Loan Associate Officers and directors are: Yungbluth, Forrest Fowler, Todd, Wm. Schumacher, J Collings, N. T. Ulvestad, Stark. J. Bernard Soto is ringer. A total of 21 inches of rain fell on Glen Street on Friday. It used to be that almost no one died out here in California. Or, if they did, there were plenty of cemeteries to bury them. But now, with all these softy Easterners coming out here, cemeteries are being located almost as thick as shopping centers. In other words, it pays to stay alive or you'll find yourself in a cemetery, or annexed to one. Marsh McFie, our economical postmaster, who accepts real low bids instead of taking ours, which was probably held up for postage due, announced a year-end clearance on stamps at the Rotary Club Monday. There was no rush at the stamps windows, however. Marsh said they were selling three cent stamps at $3.00 per hundred and 4c stamps at 25 for $1.00. But believe he, all they have to do to attract the women is take down the Christmas decorations in the lobby and put up a "SALE" sign. They might even get rid of Bart that way, if they mark him down low enough. Southern Counties Gas Company not only sells gas for heating purposes but it supplies a lot of hot air out here in Southern California. The Company has Paul King, who worked for it 11 months this year, and is also complemented by Justin Kennedy and Walter Prill. Brother, when and if you get all three of those fast talkers together, and all talking for the Southern Counties Gas Company, the Edison Company doesn't have a chance. In fact, they tell me that Southern Counties is now going to sell Edison some gas so they can make the electricity. Now that's real neighborly, isn't it? I'm just wondering if the Groundhog, or woodchuck, will be able to come out to see if the sun is shining on February 2, 1959. He's been so busy singing the Christmas Song he'll probably sleep right on through until March 1. (And I suppose some people, who have become tired of "Alvin", will probably hope he does.) I'm just wondering if the Groundhog, or woodchuck, will be able to come out to see if the sun is shining on February 2, 1959. He's been so busy singing the Christmas Song he'll probably sleep right on through until March 1. (And I suppose some people, who have become tired of "Alvin", will probably hope he does.) Here's what one salesgirl heard as she watched worn-out and tired Christmas shopper finishing their task of buying gifts: "Now this takes care of who?" A secretary talking about her boss: "He gave me $30 and said, 'buy her anything but luggage, clothing, perfume and jewelry' — what else is there?" Husband to wife: "You should have gotten it. It was the last one." If I only had more time!" "Now, where do you want to look?" "Oh, where DID I see that?" And the salesgirl who took time to take these notes for me, came home and wrapped up an empty box, by mistake, and gave it to her mother for a present. TED E. WARNES Ted E. Warnes, 52, of 627 Arden Street, and a resident of Anaheim for 10 years, died unexpectedly Friday. Warnes was owner and operator of Gimmix Unlimited and was planning to operate from all Anaheim location. He is survived by his wife, Barbara R. and four daughters, Jill, Jerl, Jennifer and Joan all of the home and also a son James F., of the home. Funeral services were held in the chapel of Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars Tuesday morning and interment was in Holy Sepulcher Cemetery. Al Marcoux was installed as president of the Valencia Shrine club by none less than Potentate Cecil Fulcher of El Bekal Temple, at an installation dinner at Disneyland Gourmet Restaurant. Anaheim Optimist Club celebrated its 10th anniversary in February. And Walter Knott said the Federal Income Tax law is dishonest. Well, Walter, at least it's discouraging. The February 20th issue of The Gazette announced that a field of nine candidates were ready for the city primary. The candidates were: Robert Borden, Lee Morris, Odra Chandler, Leo W. Harpin, Jack C. Dutton, John M. Lydick, Rudolph Yorba (who withdrew) and the two incumbents who filed for re-election, Glenn Fry and A. J. Schutte. Walter Chaffee announced he would be a candidate for Superior Court. He was a judge in the Anaheim-Fullerton Municipal Court. (He should have been satisfied there, he didn't make it for the higher court and is now returning to private practice.) Harold "Butch" Powers tried to play both sides of the political fence when he had Orange County Democrats endorse him for re-election as lieutenant governor. He tried many other election tricks, too, all of which lied to fool the voters. He was defeated in the general election by Democrat Anderson. Anaheim Is The Biggest Anaheim was officially the largest city in Orange County caught on like a forest fire the auto industry gets a big star for its contribution to business in Orange County. Bill Knowland's special rolled into Orange County his wife and daughters and a plente female entourage. M Charles Pearson and Pub Ted Kuchel were on hand to them and have their picture taken with the lovelies. The summer came and we have so many other summits without much newsworthy pening. The July 10th issue The Gazette told of the dead Floyd Davis, owner-operated the House of Flowers, 273 Center. Floyd was a daily writer At The Gazette and we have ed him. Senator Knowland nounced he was going to Tough" in the coming camp He did. Maybe too tough, not tough enough. Anyway not Governor-Elect of California Kurt Epstein, 68, a po Anaheim businessman, died July after a brief illness. Official City Publication The July 31 Gazette announced that it had been appointed by City Council as the official newspaper for Anaheim tolish city legal required to be listed in a weekly news published within the city we've been doing a right business in that department. California Bank announces will merge with Firstamerica vided all the legal red tape be taped, or whatever it is with red tape. The stock at ney Jordan's bank in An went up, accordingly and one seemed to be happy about whole thing. Anaheim's United Fund 88 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THE ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY OLDEST NEWSPaper ESTABLISHED IN PUBLISHED EVERYTHING THURSDAY ANAHEIM Vol. LXXXVIII—Anaheim, Orange County, Calif. 11 150-Word Article To Describe City Known as a man who is never at a loss for words to speak or write on world affairs, Dr. Giles T. Brown, Orange Coast College instructor and lecturer, is about to become a man of few words—150 words to be exact. Dr. Brown has been asked by the Encyclopedia Britannica to write an Article on Costa Mesa in only 150 words. This will be the first time that mention of the City of Costa Mesa has been included in the publication. “There were three pages of single spaced instruction and one page of general instructions sent to me,” Dr. Brown said. “I have talked with the mayor, the city manager, former mayors, city councilmen and newspaper publishers of the area asking them what they would include in a 150-word article about their city,” the educator said. “I have had a variety of answers,” he laughed. The encyclopedal wants to know about the location, distinguishing features, history, population characteristics, administration, finance, commerce, industry, transportation, education, culture. 1.4 Million People In California Did Not Go to Polls The complete and official returns from the November 4 election brought out some interesting facts. For instance, Californians set a record for the percentage of eligible voters actually going to the polls in a non-presidential election—79.47% (Very good, but nearly 1.4 million people didn’t vote who could have—and should have.) Attorney General Pat Brown topped Senator William Knowland by 1,029,165 — a whopping margin but still nearly 100,000 short of the record 1,127,889 which Earl Warren rolled up over James Roosevelt in 1950. Judge Stanley Mosk won by the biggest margin on November 4 in defeating Pat Hillings for Attorney General with 1,151,197 more votes. The narrowest victory went to Alan Cranston who unseated State Controller Robert Kirkwood by 31,523 out of more than five million votes cast in that contest. Congressman Engle wound up 723,356 votes better off than Governor Knight in the race for Record in San Seen for 1959 The year 1959 may be greatest volume of sales recorded in the United States. This probability is by no means assured, since much will on how the public take 59 automobiles. And there is in auto sales comes in this. But business experts that the American people financially and psychically primed to go on their buying spree. Factors come to this belief are: (1) Business conditions and job stability; (2) An expert high level in personal and (3) The widespread adoption of old installment debt more new purchases posits. It is estimated that consumers will borrow r $42 billion directly or from lending institutions once their purchases in 1957 would be $3 billion more and $100 million more in 1957 which is still the high. While record sales and installment loan volumes... A total of 21 inches of rain had fallen on Center Street so far this week when the April 3rd Gale was printed. Most of this rain had fallen on the north side and decided to form a little Mississippi River along the north side. The city boys rushed out in their 2x12's and we were able again. This year it may different. We have no rain and it big storm sewers. What a mudox. The City Election Documents A. J. Schutte and Alan Fry, Councilmen candidates, added to run as a combination by and they were successful. New man on the council was Joe Robert Borden. The open of the East Anaheim Center a new shopping center, with new and interesting stores, announced in our April issue. The Center has grown and now an established business center. The local post office, with Postmaster Marsh McFie's guiding hand, had climbed from 44th place in California to 32nd place. Barton moved from 43rd place last month. Stetter L. Carden, Jr., announces his try for Municipal Court, but it was only a try. He defeated in the Primary. "The You Auto Buy Now" campaign started in Anaheim by Ed Loff and Grant Musick, was announced in our May 1 issue. It right on like a forest fire and auto industry gets a big gold for its contribution to betterness in Orange County. Knowland's special bus ride into Orange County with wife and daughters and a comfy female entourage. Mayor Charles Pearson and Publisher Kuchel were on hand to greet them and have their pictures with the lovelies. A goal of $175,000 and it sounded impossible at the time. But the big boys got together and hired Don Rankin, professional fund raiser deluxe and they got the job done in a most satisfactory manner and went nearly $25 thousand over the top. A really gigantic task most successfully accomplished. Al Cotler, retail clothing merchant in Anaheim for many years, died of a heart attack in September. William C. Polrier was announced as the new general secretary for the Anaheim YMCA replacing John E. Bertch. It was kind of a dull fall in manager, former mayor, city councilmen and newspaper publishers of the area asking them what they would include in a 150-word article about their city," the educator said. "I have had a variety of answers," he laughed. The encyclopedal wants to know about the location, distinguishing features, history, population characteristics, administration, finance, commerce, industry, transportation, education, cultural activities, parks and recreation of Costa Mesa. Dr. Brown has been widely published in education and historical journals. "The nearest thing I have done to such tight writing as this," he explained. "was when I had to reduce a 40-page article to a 20-page article for the Pacific Historical Review." "Yes, I think I will mention Orange Coast College in the 150 words," he said. DEXTER ROMBOUGH Dexter S. Rombough, 90, and a resident of Anaheim for 31 years, died Friday after a prolonged illness in the Anaheim Memorial Hospital. He was born in Canada. He was a member of the First Methodist Church of Anaheim. He is survived by his wife, Ida and two daughters, Mrs. Hazel Miller of Huntington Beach and Mrs. Justa Vinton of Long Beach. Funeral services were held in the chapel of Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars Monday morning with Rev. Earl Kernahan officiating and interment was made in Fairhaven Cemetery. Nounced a goal of $175,000 and it sounded impossible at the time. But the big boys got together and hired Don Rankin, professional fund raiser deluxe and they got the job done in a most satisfactory manner and went nearly $25 thousand over the top. A really gigantic task most successfully accomplished. Al Cotler, retail clothing merchant in Anaheim for many years, died of a heart attack in September. William C. Polrier was announced as the new general secretary for the Anaheim YMCA replacing John E. Bertch. James Roosevelt in 1950. Judge Stanley Mosk won by the biggest margin on November 4 in defeating Pat Hillings for Attorney General with 1,151,197 more votes. The narrowest victory went to Alan Cranston who unseated State Controller Robert Kurkwood by 31,523 out of more than five million votes cast in that contest. Congressman Engle wound up 723,356 votes better off than Governor Knight in the race for senator. The Prohibition Party which has been on the ballot since 1870 was disqualified from future elections because its candidates failed to draw at least three per cent of the vote. And Secretary of State Jordan, who certified the final figures, was the only state official to survive in the Democratic landslide. Safeway Has Big Building Program Planned for 1959 Keeping pace with consumer demand in southern California for the most advanced facilities and conveniences in food store retailing, Safeway Stores completed 11 new supermarkets in 1958 while carrying out its carefully planned replacement program under which older type stores are being closed in favor of more modern structures. $½ Million Dollar Investment D. B. Kane, Los Angeles Division Manager of Safeway Stores, in summarizing the past year's new construction in his division, said that the construction program completed to date this year represents an investment of approximately five and one-half million dollars. Safeway's confidence in the greater Los Angeles retail food market and in the overall area served by the division here, is further indicated in Mr. Kane's disclosure that the company will continue its ambitious replacement program in 1959, and is also anticipating entry into several currently developing shopping centers. Bank of America Will Again Have Car Registratio Vehicle registration services for 1959 will be to motorists of the Anaheim in the Bank of America SA at 150 East Centre Anaheim between January February 4. The cooperative arm with the State Department Right on like a forest fire and auto industry gets a big gold rush for its contribution to betterness in Orange County. All Knowland's special bused into Orange County with wife and daughters and a comrade female entourage. Mayor Erles Pearson and Publisher Kuchel were on hand to greet them and have their pictures taken with the lovelies. The summer came and went, as so many other summers, out much newsworthy hapening. The July 10th issue of Gazette told of the death of David, owner-operator of House of Flowers, 273 East Terre. Floyd was a daily visitor of the Gazette and we have misshim. Senator Knowland announced he was going to "Get high" in the coming campaign. Did. Maybe too tough, maybe tough enough. Anyway, he's Governor-Elect of California,urt Epstein, 68, a popularheim businessman, died in after a brief illness. Official City Publications On July 31 Gazette announced it had been appointed by the Council as the official city spaper for Anaheim to publish legal required to be published in a weekly newspaper finished within the city. And we been doing 'a right briskness in that department, too. California Bank announced it merge with Firstamerica provided all the legal red tape can taped, or whatever it is you do in red tape. The stock at Barry Jordan's bank in Anaheim set up, accordingly and every seemed to be happy about the little thing. Anaheim's United Fund anstory manner and went nearly $25 thousand over the top. A really gigantic task most successfully accomplished. Al Cotler, retail clothing merchant in Anaheim for many years, died of a heart attack in September. William C. Polrier was announced as the new general secretary for the Anaheim YMCA replacing John E. Bertch. It was kind of a dull fall in Anaheim, or, perhaps, just a regular fall. We had a general election on with all the ballyhoo and Dick Gay presented the town with a bang-up Hallowe'en celebration and parade. And schools opened with the biggest enrollment ever, just like nearly all California towns. And Marsh McFie was still using the columns of the Anaheim Gazette to promote his letter distributing monopoly. New Cars But No Deliveries And this was the time when the cars were announced. First Pontiac, then Chevrolet, Oldsmobile and Buick. We showed no partiality. Each car was given proportionate front page space because they are all good products. But, the big problem of supply struck the dealers when factories were plagued with strikes. Blackboards in sales offices were soon filled with orders but no deliveries were being made. But today, December 30, everyone is happy and most people who ordered cars before Christmas were able to have them "gift-wrapped". And, because we are Republicans, we'll skip the general election. (That's a good idea, let's make believe it didn't happen.) And that brings us up to the present time where the week's news is reflected on the front page of this issue. Safeway's confidence in the greater Los Angeles retail food market and in the overall area served by the division here, is further indicated in Mr. Kane's disclosure that the company will continue its ambitious replacement program in 1959, and is also anticipating entry into several currently developing shopping centers. "We are in a business which requires constant and careful analysis of consumer demand, and which demand includes the latest innovations in food store retailing." Mr. Kane stated. "This means that we must be aware constantly of those things in physical store facilities which clearly attract consumers." For Customer Approval "We refer to our new construction as a replacement program for this reason, and because in most instances our new stores are in the nature of a response to manifest consumer desires which leaves no doubt that when existing store facilities become outmoded they must be replaced with newer and often larger markets if we are to continue in favor with our customers." More New Stores Planned Regarding new construction next year, Mr. Kane said that presently it is anticipated that the company will build 27 new stores, of which 15 will be in shopping centers. The Safeway executive said that it is probably too early to forecast the amount to be expended on the 1959 new store program, but he estimated that it would possibly be an investment of twelve and one-half million dollars. Will Again Halt Car Registration Vehicle registration services for 1959 will be to motorists of the Anaheim in the Bank of America SA at 150 East Center Anaheim between January 4. The cooperative arm with the State Department Motor Vehicles has been approximately seven years Gay, vice president and of the bank, said. Lt. Gov. Ander Names Assistance Lt. Governor-elect Anderson announced the moment of Mrs. Natalie Beninent California newswoman his assistant executive She will handle press rehearsal of the office of the lieutenant Fred Zweibach, well Los Angeles business named executive secretary this month. Mrs. Best, president California Association Women, was a news editor for United Press-Interior Los Angeles and San Francisco and editor for CBS Radio and on the editorial staff Los Angeles Herald Express. Her husband is William former news executive in Los Angeles and San Francisco who now heads Best Communications Counsellors. Mrs. Best arrives in S Dec. 31 and will assume duties after the inauguration January 5. TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM ORANGE COUNTY'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER ESTABLISHED IN 1870 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Calif. 11 / Thursday, January 1, 1959—No. 31 Record in Sales Seen for 1959 The year 1959 may bring the greatest volume of sales ever yet recorded in the United States. This probability is by no means assured, since much will depend on how the public takes to the '59 automobiles. And the real test in auto sales comes in the spring. But business experts believe that the American people are now financially and psychologically primed to go on their greatest buying spree. Factors contributing to this belief are: (1) Improving business conditions and greater job stability; (2) An expected new high level in personal income; and (3) The widespread clean up of old installment debts making more new purchases possible. It is estimated that American consumers will borrow more than $42 billion directly or indirectly from lending institutions to finance their purchases in 1959. That would be $3 billion more than '58 and $100 million more than in 1957 which is still the all-time high. While record sales and a heavy installment loan volume are indi- Another Smog Suggestion Made A possible means of reducing the smog problem is as simple as "washing the smog out of the air while it's out over the ocean," says W. Worth Bernard, publisher of the Orange County Industrial News. In his "Worth Thinking About..." column in the December issue of the magazine, publisher Bernard reviews that fact that air currents carry the accumulated air pollution back and forth across the Los Angeles basin, take it out to sea and then bring it back mixed with fog to give the city its worst eye-smarting conditions. He points out that the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Southern California Edison Co. and California Electric Power Co. have all been experimenting with "rainmaking." He also points to the fact that the Aerology Branch of the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington has announced success with a new low-cost method of creating and destroying cloud formations. Select Delegates To Model Y Youth Gov't Legislation Six Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y members were announced as official delegates to the YMCA Youth and Government Model Legislature to be held in Sacramento Feb. 13-15, by O. L. Chandler, Y Model Legislature committee chairman. High school seniors include Chuck Osborn, Merrill Campbell, and Trudi Borden and juniors, Biff Copeland, Mary Jane Snyder and Joanne Mickelson. The delegates will represent Anaheim High School Y clubs in the Senate and Assembly at Sacramento and will introduce a bill developed by local young people. Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Chandler headed the speak-off committee to which club members presented proposed legislation. The model Legislature program is directed to give high school youth first hand experience in developing and presenting state legislative bills using the procedures of the elected adult legislators. The motto "Democracy must be learned in an era of technology." of old installment debts making more new purchases possible. It is estimated that American consumers will borrow more than $42 billion directly or indirectly from lending institutions to finance their purchases in 1959. That would be $3 billion more than '58 and $100 million more than in 1957 which is still the all-time high. While record sales and a heavy installment loan volume are indicators of good economic conditions, each family should weigh its needs carefully before making big-item purchases. The point is to avoid buying merely because everybody else seems to be doing it. And while installment buying is certainly a sound method of financing purchases, merchants shouldn't make terms so low that they tempt people to obligate themselves beyond a reasonable capacity to pay. It is interesting to note that even though installment credit now runs at a much higher level than it did just a few years ago, individual bank savings and other forms of thrift have also climbed substantially. This indicates that many people prefer to keep a cash reserve available while they do their major buying on time. Estimates are that in 1959 more than $16 billion in installment credit will be used for the purchase of cars (up $2 billion from this year), nearly $12 billion for other durable goods, $13 billion for personal loans, and $1½ billion for repairs and modernization. That's a lot of money. But its real meaning is not dollars alone but jobs, wages and profits. Bank of America Will Again Handle Car Registrations Vehicle registration renewal services for 1959 will be available to motorists of the Anaheim area in the Bank of America NT & SA at 150 East Center Street, Anaheim between January 2 and February 4. The cooperative arrangement with the State Department of He points out that the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, Southern California Edison Co. and California Electric Power Co. have all been experimenting with "rainmaking." He also points to the fact that the Aerology Branch of the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington has announced success with a new low-cost method of creating and destroying cloud formations. The "rainmakers" should be called in to "give it a try," Bernard suggests. The expenditure of a few thousand dollars to wash the smog out of the air, over the ocean, would be money well spent if—the "rainmakers' can do it, he comments. Beckman Installs Nationwide Wire Dispatch System A new Mark IV Teletypewriter, automatic dispatch system, has been installed at Beckman Instruments, Inc., 2500 Fullerton Road, Fullerton, according to Pacific Telephone Company service engineer Dwight Mayfield. This Bell System service will span the nation, linking Beckman divisions, field offices, and sales representatives with private line teletypewriters which automatically transmit messages and data from point to point at incredible speed. This modern TADS service, tailored to meet the ever-expanding communications requirements at Beckman, replaces old-style keyboard transmission with automatic tape transmission, and permits pushbutton direction of messages to individual or multiple destinations. Other distinctive features of TADS are reliability, economy, flexibility, and speed. Fred L. Cronk, manager of office services at Beckman's Fullerton plant, said the nationwide private wire service will substantially expedite an increasing volume of communications between the company's facilities throughout the country. FJC Counsels for Second Semester Counseling and registration for second semester work at the Fullerton Junior College will begin on Monday, January 5, it was announced today by Ralph J. Snyder, FJC Dean of Admissions and Records. During January students are given appointments to see their counselors, have their program of studies approved, obtain their class tickets, and complete their registration, he said.

Vehicle registration renewal services for 1959 will be available to motorists of the Anaheim area in the Bank of America NT & SA at 150 East Center Street, Anaheim between January 2 and February 4. The cooperative arrangement with the State Department of Motor Vehicles has been in effect approximately seven years, R. W. Gay, vice president and manager of the bank, said. Lt. Gov. Anderson Names Assistants Lt. Governor-elect Glenn M. Anderson announced the appointment of Mrs. Natalie Best prominent California newswoman, as his assistant executive secretary.
