THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Was I ever embarrassed! I recommended a book near the top of the "best seller" list to one of my friends before I had finished reading it. This is sex via correspondence, for sure. Cliff Gill, president of Radio Orange County, which will soon be broadcasting from Anaheim and Fullerton over KEZY, was too busy to eat lunch Tuesday. Funny thing, soon he'll be advocating that Orange County listeners "take it Ezy," "Ezy on the ear," "Be Ezy on yourself," "Ezy on your radio," "Always Ezy", etc. So, take it Ezy, Cliff, so you can enjoy Ezy, too. (P.S. starts about April 1.) Here are some figures about Herb Perry's telephone business in Anaheim, picked up by our alert advertising manager, Andy Mellon: "Telephones in Anaheim; 1910—435, 1930 — 2,710, 1950—7,410, 1958—47,021 and in 1960 it is estimated there will be 63,-500 telephones in Anaheim. That's a lot of talk, isn't it? Heard about a patient who was waiting in a doctor's office. Governor Brown Outlines Program On Water Problems in California May I first of all thank you for your courtesy in arranging this joint session of the Legislature. I have asked to come here today, under these extraordinary circumstances, so that we can meet together as the single voice of all the people of California. I have come to present a water program which I believe is rational, realistic, and responsive to the needs of all the people of California. Our state is magnificently varied in its resources, its scenery, its industry and its people. Providence, as I said in my inaugural message, seems intent on making us a great people in a great state. Yet, in spite of our great endowment, it has become the fashion in recent years to dwell on our water problems as being awesome and impossibly complicated. We have brooded over the expense and become lost in a forest of fear. In prior sessions of the Legislature, the result has been delay and frustration. It is not the lack of water which creates the problem we meet to discuss. Indeed, the average runoff exceeds our requirements by a safe margin. Problem Is Distribution The core of our problem is distribution. We do not have enough water when and where we need it. We have too much water when and where we do not need it. Thus, it is obvious that we must build dams to capture water which is unique in that it was built through the depletion of a natural resource, our off oil. I am determined that it be dedicated to the development of another precious resource, water. 500 Million Dollar Bond Issue Third: I propose that in we authorize a general obligated bond issue in the neighborhood 500 million dollars to complete program outlined in this mess. To all of you, I pledge that I fight to obtain adequate funding to complete the great duct south. And to all of you pledge that I will fight to owe adequate financing to provide other facilities throughout the state necessary to meet the needs of our people. Federal Cooperation Fourth: We must encourage federal government to finance projects designed for regulation, flood control, and erosion. Considering the costs of our budget, it is plain non-negotiable federal aid. I am sure to see that the old hostility federal funds is now mellon. We should use federal aid even we can, but we must remember that we have our responsibilities in the development of our water resources. Integrated Statewide Move Fifth: We should undertake development of our water Here are some figures about Herb Perry's telephone business in Anaheim; picked up by our alert advertising manager, Andy Mellon: "Telephones in Anaheim; 1910—435, 1930 — 2,710, 1950—7,410, 1958—47,021 and in 1960 it is estimated there will be 63,-500 telephones in Anaheim. That's a lot of talk, isn't it? Heard about a patient who was waiting in a doctor's office. After finishing reading all the stale magazines the man looked in the corner and saw a skeleton and thought he'd strike up a conversation. "How long have you been waiting?" he asked. Walter Prill, public relations man deluxe for the Southern Counties Gas Company, did it again at the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Walter is my candidate for public relations man of the year, decade, or century. Jim Morris just called up to tell us about a new kind of lifeland slander insurance he has sale. We've never worried about being sued for libel. But now that Jim has brought up the subject, we'll probably worry ourselves sick until we decide to buy some and let Jim do the worrying. Robert Boney pulled a catch question the other day when he asked how many months in the year have 28 days. First thought is only one, February. But then he smiles all over his big round face and says, "Oh, no, they all do, but February has only 28." Anaheim now has two beauty colleges. January 1, 1959 it didn't have any. Just goes to show you how homely we must be and how much we need beauty treatment. Good luck to both colleges. It doesn't seem possible. It just doesn't seem possible, that so many advertising words could be said about a few shreds of tobacco wrapped in a little bit of white paper, does it! I'm amazed at the enthusiasm my television announcer can enthuse when he gets warmed up on those cigarette commercials. How dumb we mortals are. Or how dumb he thinks we are. It is not the lack of water which creates the problem we meet to discuss. Indeed, the average runoff exceeds our requirements by a safe margin. Problem Is Distribution The core of our problem is distribution. We do not have enough water when and where we need it. We have too much water when and where we do not need it. Thus, it is obvious that we must build dams to capture water which would otherwise escape, and we must build canals and aqueducts to transport the water we have saved to the communities where it is needed. Against the background of these general observations, I propose the following program for water development. Start Moving Dirt First: I propose that this session of the Legislature appropriate 38 million dollars from the Investment Fund to start on a construction program. It is time to start moving dirt and stop throwing mud. This is the beginning of a positive program for water development. In considering this 38 million dollar appropriation and subsequent expenses, I want to emphasize that the major cost of water development is eventually repaid from project revenues. Commit Investment Fund Second: I propose that we commit the entire Investment Fund to water development. This fundation. Considering the costs of our budget, it is plain non-negotiable federal aid. I am sure to see that the old hostile federal funds is now mellow. We should use federal aid ever we can, but we must remember that we have our responsibilities in the development of our water resources. Integrated Statewide Move Fifth: We should undertake development of our watersources on a comprehensive wide basis. Local agencies sources on a comprehensive move ahead with those projects which have a primarily local impact. Yet, I am convinced there must be an integrated wide development of the works which affect many municipalities. Only thus can we vent duplication and waste; thus can we avoid Balkan our state into competing provinces. In the past few days bills been introduced by Senator Glee and Kuchel and Congress Stak and Johnson to authored participation in the Leis project. I will do every in my power to insure the part of these bills. I see in the reasonable compromise of the tra-state conflicts which been a roadblock to this project. We must not allow putes within the Californiaally to delay us further. It doesn't seem possible. It just doesn't seem possible, that so many advertising words could be said about a few shreds of tobacco wrapped in a little bit of white paper, does it! I'm amazed at the enthusiasm my television announcer can enthuse when he gets warmed up on those cigarette commercials. How dumb we mortals are. Or how dumb he thinks we are. An account of an archaeological expedition back in 1895 told of a Professor Smythe and a Professor Stird and his son Albert, who became involved in a violent argument at the site of an excavation in Lower Yemen Province. At the height of the tracas and in a great rage Prof. Smythe picked up the fossilized jawbone of a pterodactyl and hurled it at the Stirds, injuring both fatally. Now what I would like to know is: Would this be considered killing two Stirds with one bone? FLOYD L. ROSS Floyd L. Ross, 69 years of age, a native of S. Carolina who came to southern California 46 years ago and to Anaheim ten years ago, died unexpectedly Wednesday evening at the family home, 211 North West Street, Apt. L., after an extended illness. Surviving is his wife, Oriana B. Ross; one sister, Mrs. Grady B. Humphries of S. Carolina; two stepdaughters, Mrs. Alberta Clark of Brea and Mrs. Karl L. Chase of San Diego. Funeral services will be conducted from Hilgenfeld Mortuary Chapel Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Interment will be in Anaheim Cemetery. Colored Slides of World's Fair Seen By B-PW Members A glimpse of the World's Fair at Brussels, through the media of colored slides and narration by Sharon Crooke, Anaheim Travel Bureau, provided the Anaheim Business and Professional Women's Club with a most interesting and educational program when it met in the courtesy room of the Home Building and Loan Association for its regular meeting.

All of you, I pledge that I will not to obtain adequate financer to complete the great aquatet south. And to all of you, I pledge that I will fight to obtain equate financing to provide the water facilities throughout the necessary to meet the needs our people. Federal Cooperation Fourth: We must encourage the local government to finance war projects designed for naviion, flood control, and irrigation. Considering the condition our budget, it is plain nonsense resist federal aid. I am glad see that the old hostility to rural funds is now mellowing. Should use federal aid wher we can, but we must also member that we have our own responsibilities in the development our water resources.

There were no changes made in the board of directors and the following officers were re-elected: Norman Reeves, president; J. C. Travis, vice-president; George C. Easton, secretary-manager; and Josephine Fulfer, assistant secretary. Other directors' are Louis T. Kramer, Lawrence P. Kraemer and Bernardo M. Yorba. Marvin E. Ross is the field superintendent. Manager Easton reported that the association's membership and acreage was at an all time high in 1958, but that production was the lightest in many years. Dollar returns per acre were well in line though, as average prices paid per field box were the highest since 1930. Knott and Beckman Head Industrial And Business Group for Heart Fund Six prominent Orange County businessmen have agreed to serve as this year's Heart Fund honorary business and industry committee, it was revealed today by Thomas L. Channell, assistant trust officer for the main branch of the Bank of America in Santa Ana, and Bertram F. Mokros, planning manager for Allstate Insurance Company in Santa Ana, who are co-chairmen for the month-long Heart Fund drive in Orange County during February. Knott Heads Committee Honorary chairman of the committee is Walter Knott, owner and founder of Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park. His committee consists of: Arnold O. Beckman, Ph. D., president of Beckman Instruments, Inc., Fullerton; R. H. Loewe, regional manager of Allstate Insurance Company, Santa Ana; Walter E. Miller, Jr., personnel manager for the Semi-Conductor Division of Hughes Aircraft at Newport Beach; and Henry E. North, Jr., president of Arcadia Metal Products, Fullerton; L. J. Primeau, factory manager of the United States Rubber Company plant in Santa Ana. Over the signature of Knott an- munity services are meeting pledge, to the full extent available funds will allow." Knott then went on to out that of the amount colled in the 1958 Heart Fund camp only four per cent were cote contributions. "It seems he added, "that most busi- and industries in our county not been supporting the pro- of our Orange County Head association to the full extent their ability to do so."

I am glad we see that the old hostility to central funds is now mellowing. We should use federal aid whenever we can, but we must also remember that we have our own responsibilities in the development of our water resources. Integrated Statewide Movement of North: We should undertake the development of our water resources on a comprehensive state-by-state basis. Local agencies, of services on a comprehensive state-wide ahead with those projects which have a primarily local imprint. Yet, I am convinced that we must be an integrated state-development of the massive banks which affect many communities. Only thus can we prevent duplication and waste. Only can we avoid Balkanizing state into competing water industries. In the past few days bills have been introduced by Senators Enniston and Kuchel and Congressmen Johnson to authorize general participation in the San Francisco project. I will do everything my power to insure the passage these bills. I see in them a reasonable compromise of the In-state conflicts which have in a roadblock to this vital project. We must not allow diseases within the California family to delay us further. ESTHER SWANSON Esther Swanson, of 648 North Helena, died at her home last week-end after a prolonged illness at the age of 44. She was born in Idaho and had been a resident of Anaheim eight years and was a member of the Bethel Baptist church of Anaheim.

Funeral services were held Monday in the chapel of Backs, Troutman and Kaulbars with Rev. H. John Vanderbeek, pastor of the Bethel Baptist Church officiating. To Fight Heart Problems "We look about, at our own business associates, and see that heart disease is a real problem to corporate management and to business." Knott stated. "The Heart Association is pledged to fight the problem in every way possible.

TO ALL THAT IS GOOD IN ANAHEIM GAZETTE Thursday, February 5, 1959—No. 35 Head Industrial For Heart Fund County services are meeting the edge, to the full extent that available funds will allow." Knott then went on to point out that of the amount collected by the 1958 Heart Fund campaign, only four per cent were corporate contributions. "It seems to us," he added, "that most businesses and industries in our county have not been supporting the programs of our Orange County Heart Association to the full extent of their ability to do so." Recent Major Advances Some of the recent major advances that have been achieved through heart research include: new and improved methods of long heart attack and heart failure; new drugs which control high blood pressure; drugs which reduce blood clotting and reduce recurrences of heart attack; prevention of rheumatic fever and bacterial infections of the heart; operations inside the heart to repair damaged valves and correct angential defects, surgery to remove clots and to replace damaged arteries with sections of healthy vessels and heart lung machines to take over the heart's Kuchel May Modify Tax Treatment of Small Business U. S. Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of California has asked the Treasury Department to modify a ruling about tax treatment of small business corporations which be fears will penalize residents of California and other states with community property laws. The senator used a review of ruling announced in a Treasury information bulletin issued Nov. 28, 1958, stating that in states with community property laws both husband and wife must be counted as shareholders for the purposes of a provision in the Technical Amendments Act of 1958 designed to allow small businesses a certain right of election in making income tax returns. Kuchel pointed out that a "small business corporation" is defined as one with not over 10 shareholders. For Community Property States “If this interpretation of the statute prevails, it would mean that in a community property state no more than five married men may be stockholders in a corporation electing to have corporal New Facilities at Bank of America Bank of America's new drive-in and walk-up banking facilities at its Anaheim branch went into operation Tuesday morning. First depositor to use the walk-up windows was Warren L. Broad, of Arrow Electric Company, who was waiting at the head of the line at 10 a.m. The first deposit made from a car at the drive-in windows was dropped into the retractable drawer that takes the money in to the teller by Police Chief Mark A. Stephenson. Betty Corn Gives Assist Officiating at brief ceremonies was Richard W. Gay, vice president and manager of the branch, assisted by Anaheim beauty contest winner Miss Betty Corn, vice president Ira E. Ogden from the bank's Los Angeles headquarters, and several other bank officials. Refreshments were served throughout the day and souvenirs given to depositors. Four Walk-up Windows The new facilities are in a two-story building to the immediate new drugs which control high blood pressure; drugs which record blood clotting and reduce recurrences of heart attack; prevention of rheumatic fever and bacterial infections of the heart; operations inside the heart to repair damaged valves and correct congenital defects, surgery to remove clots and to replace damaged arteries with sections of healthy vessels and heart lung machines to take over the heart's work during surgery. Educational Program In addition to medical research, which is the prime object of the Heart Association, other phases include: professional education programs which bring the latest research findings to the physician through scientific meetings and publications; public education to give families vital facts to protect their hearts; rehabilitation programs to help cardiac learn the amount and kind of work they can do and community rheumatic fever programs which aid the physician and the public in preventing rheumatic fever and rheumatic fever heart diseases. 1958 designed to allow small businesses a certain right of election in making income tax returns. Kuchel pointed out that a "small business corporation" is defined as one with not over 10 shareholders. For Community Property States "If this interpretation of the statute prevails, it would mean that in a community property state no more than five married men may be stockholders in a corporation electing to have corporate income taxed directly to the share holders," Kuchel wrote Treasury Secretary Robert E. Anderson. "In a common law state it is possible for 10 married men to be stockholders in a corporation electing this tax treatment. "I submit that this is inequitable and discriminates against residents of the community property states." Kuchel noted the section of the tax law involved was adopted by Congress "in an attempt to stimulate and assist small business on as broad a base as possible". He added he has discussed the matter with members of the Senate Finance Committee and feels certain there was no intent to limit the right as has been done by the Treasury Department. "I am very hopeful that after you have had an opportunity to review this matter, with the legislative history in mind, you will agree that the proposed interpretation is inequitable and contrary to the intent of Congress," Kuchel wrote. California Voters Look Carefully at School Bond Taxes California voters occasionally have a healthy "show me" attitude toward school bond issues, as reported by E. Maxwell Benton. Schools Consultant, California Taxpayers' Association, in the January issue of the "Tax Digest," the organization's official publication. Voter reaction to local school bond proposals, amounting to close to two billion dollars throughout the state in the past three years, was recently compiled for a study made by the Assemblage. Ben Sorrells Is Named Manager Of Howard House H. L. Howard this week announced the appointment of W.

Four Walk-up Windows The new facilities are in a two-story building to the immediate south of the branch's main building at Center and Claudina Streets. The four walk-up windows face Claudina Street, just a step from the sidewalk, enabling customers to use them without going into the bank. There also two drive-in windows at the south side, approached from driveways on Claudina Street. Customers can bank there without getting out of their cars. The upper floor of the building houses a battery of posting machines. The new facilities represent an investment of $165,000, manager Gay said.

She was born in Australia 65 years ago and had been a resident of Santa Monica for 32 years. She is survived by her daughter and a brother, Jack, of Australia.

On Feb. 23, 1945, the American flag was raised for the first time over the Japanese fortified island of Iwo Jima, when members of the 28th Marines planted the Stars and Stripes on the highest point, Mount Suribachi. Voter reaction to local school bond proposals, amounting to close to two billion dollars throughout the state in the past three years, was recently compiled for a study made by the Association. This is one of the many studies made by Cal-Tax containing material not compiled by any other source, and used by the staff to aid them in their field work. Of the 891 separate school bond proposals presented to the voters of the individual school districts in the past three years, 691 or 78 per cent were approved and 200 or 22 per cent were rejected, according to the Association's study. The amount of the bonds approved totaled $1,853,192,149 on 82 per cent; those disapproved were $183,383,350 or 18 per cent. Bond Futures Increase There has been a great increase in the dollar volume of the bonds approved annually. However, the Cal-Tax study showed that the increase in the percentage of bond elections which have failed has also risen — from 19 per cent in 1955-56 to 27 per cent in 1957-58. The number of bond elections in all districts has decreased in each year since 1955-56 while the dollar volume of bond proposals has steadily increased. Some districts had to hold several elections in their effort to secure the passage of a single bond proposal. An elementary district in one county held three elections for a $38,000 bond issue in 1957-58 which failed all three times. A high school district twice tried to secure the passage of a $635,000 bond issue only to have it rejected each time. This would indicate that school bond proposals are not always regarded as sacred by the California voters. The increase in tax burden for schools means that the educational dollar must be spent wisely. Benton said. Building needs should be carefully determined and plans for school facilities justified by the school administration before requesting the local electorate to approve any added burden. The first successful cross-country radio transmission from an airplane was received by the Naval Research Laboratory in 1922.
