Mayor Strobel has, one way and another, acquired considerable knowledge of law and the California statutes, and being possessed of a great natural ability, it may reasonably be expected that he will make his mark in the world.

We are indebted to Mr. Mendelson who has just arrived from Lower California, for some rich specimens of gold quartz brought by him from that region, which we opine are the richest ever brought into this country, exceeding in richness the famous Vulture mine in Arizona. These specimens are from the Angel Cana mine, situated in San Raphal valley, about 100 miles from San Diego.

Lloyd Bailey's new residence is the southeast corner of Broadway and Claudina is nearing completion and when completed will have a handsome addition to the home in the neighborhood. The Pasadena Star has entered upon its tenth volume. Charm Gardiner was once the editor of the Gazette — one reason why "Star" is such an excellent paper. Henry Albrecht has two new contracts for dwellings, one Charlie Ramella and the other for Arthur Porter who will enjoy a neat residence. New dwellings are constantly being erected our midst and we are on the wayward grade. The young son of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Cayce is seriously ill with pneumonia. Work will soon be commenced upon the new residence of Drugist Derge on Broadway and when finished it will be one of the best looking homes in that vicinity. P. J. Weisel and family are expected to arrive here from Europe about the middle of April. Honor Sherman Dave Sherman of Casey-Beckham Pontiac received word this week that he has earned the title of president of the Master Salesman Guild for his district by virtue of being top salesman for the year. This entitles him to a trip to New York to attend a conclave of presidents of other master guild districts. He will make the trip to New York by plane for the conclave which is scheduled for March 10 to March 24. Congratulations to you, Dave. RILLA W. PIFER Rilla W.

Baxter, nationally-known television personality and professor of literature at the University of Southern California will lecture at Santa Ana College Tuesday, March 17, as the third program in the college Artist's Series. Tickets Are Limited Dr. Baxter's busy TV schedule, both on science and literature programs, coupled with his teaching load on the Trojan campus, give him little time for lecture appearances. He spoke at the college two years ago and a turn-away crowd is inevitable for his next talk on "One Man's Theater" in Phillips Hall at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the public are in limited supply, since a big student attendance is assured, and are on sale in the Phillips Hall box office. Trojan students have been jamming Dr. Baxter's classes for several decades but his talks on Shakespeare made him famous as a television star. Illustrated Talk At St. Michael's Guest speaker at another series of Lenten programs at St. Michael's Episcopal-Church Wednesday, March 4, at 8 p.m., will be the Rev. Dave Deshler, pastor of West Anaheim Methodist Church. His topic will be "Christ and the World", consisting of an illustrated lecture of his work with the Anglican Church in the Holy Land in the summer of 1956, under auspices of the World Council Churches.

Wednesday Night Programs The special Lenten Wednesday night programs at St. Michael's consist of evening prayer at 7:30 talks by prominent clergymen at 8, followed by a question and answer period. Refreshments are served by the Susan Lafaucher Guild of the Woman's Auxiliary. The series will be concluded with a three-day healing mission March 15, 16 and 17. From the Files of The Anaheim Gazette By MRS. HENRY KUCHEL 30 YEARS OF DEVOTION TO ALL THAT ANAHEM Vol. LXXXVIII—Anaheim, Orange County, Calif. 11 Youth Authority Budget Reveals Alarming Costs (by Senator John A. Murdy, Jr.) As a member of the senate finance committee studying various items of our high state budget, it has been my good fortune to learn many details of the operation of our state departments and their functions. Last week, for instance, the director of the California Youth Authority presented the budget for his department, noting, as do most of the department heads, the necessity for increasing the budget to take care of increasing case loads. I was particularly appalled at his figures on increased juvenile delinquency and the cause and effects on the state for this increase. Delinquents at $4,262 Per Year There are now 3,142 wards of the state under the jurisdiction of the California Youth Authority—youngsters who are in our state penal institutions. The average cost to the state for the incarceration of three juveniles. Orlo Brees Will Be Guest Speaker Tickets are still available for the March 2nd meeting of the Anaheim Industrial Management Club, it was announced today by Myron Reed, president of the club. They may be secured at the Anaheim YMCA, 121 South Citron Avenue. Featured speaker for the evening meeting, scheduled to be held at the Chrysler Training Center Auditorium, 1111 North Brookhurst, will be Dr. Orlo M. Brees, public relations representative for the National Association of Manufacturers. Dr. Brees recently appeared before the Orange County Associated Chambers of Commerce, and has spoken before several service clubs in the area. In each case, his outstanding message and manner of presentation have earned him standing ovations from the audiences. Contrasts Ways Of Life His topics at the Industrial Management Club dinner will be "A Race Without Winners," and he will show the contrast between the American industrial way of life, usually called the free enterprise system, and the deterring force of capitalism. Catholics Plan New Building At Center and Palm Last week, February 15 more than 150 parish workers St. Boniface visited 3,000 Catholic homes to obtain pledges talling $360,000. The St. Boniface "Center" Building Fund is earmarked for the construction of a new "rern gothic" church at Palm Center Streets. The present stature, now inadequate after years of faithful service, will completely removed. Chairmanning the Heracomassignment is Holy Name Parish Denton Henry Lorenz, who has considerable fund raising experience in his former parish of trotit, Michigan, where he successfully spearheaded three church building programs. Other committee members are B. dan, Mrs. W. Jones, C. Heinz, Cain, F. Monnig, Mrs. B. J. saint, H. Mack, and D. May. The four division chairmen include F. Patin, A. Turley, Shea, J. Weeks, B.

Purdey, W. J. Cole, Will Guy Lovering, Gile Lan-od others. Turck is around on Tuesday creating to cigars over the hill of a son and heir at his day before. Bailey's new residence on southeast corner of Broadway Claudina is nearing completion when completed will be dismissioned to the homes in neighborhood. Pasadena Star has entered its tenth volume. Charlie Her was once the editor of magazine — one reason why the TV is such an excellent paper. Albrecht has two new acts for dwellings, one for the Ramella and the other Arthur Porter who will erect a residence. New dwellings constantly being erected in oldtown and we are on the upgrade. Young son of Mr. and Mrs. Dayce is seriously ill withonia. Will soon be commenced the new residence of Drug-erge on Broadway and when it will be one of the best homes in that vicinity. Weisel and family are expected here from Europe the middle of April. I was particularly appalled at his figures on increased juvenile delinquency and the causes and effects on the state for this increase. Delinquents at $4,282 Per Year There are now 3,142 wards of the state under the jurisdiction of the California Youth Authority—youngsters who are in our state penal institutions. The average cost to the state for the incarceration of these juveniles is $4,282 a year — the average income per capita of our wage-income citizens. This tremendous cost does not include the capital outlay for buildings, facilities, etc. We were told by the director that some 7,000 youngsters are now on parole from the Authority, and that about 24 per cent of these will eventually end up in our state adult penal institutions. I.Q. Is Near Average He said about 17 to 20 per cent of those incarcerated are either psychopathic patients or are criminally inclined. The "TQ" of these youngsters in the CYA is only two per cent below the average boy or girl of the state. The total budget request for the Youth Authority for 1959-60 is $15,549,000, and the state already has a capital outlay of some $120,000,000 in buildings and facilities. Of the 3,142 in the institutions, 385 are girls. The latter are more expensive to care for than boys, the director said. Sixty-two per cent of the youngsters are either from a broken home, or from a home of only one parent. Make Room for New Ones Unfortunately, the number of boys and girls in these institutions has nearly doubled since 1951, as has the cost of their incarceration. In fact, it has been necessary to parole many of them each year to make room for new ones committed. The average increase in juvenile delinquency, we were told, is eight per cent a year — a frightful number when you consider we are adding this percentage annually, instead of decreasing the number. Train for Good Jobs There was one bright spot reported by the director, however. He said the training the boys re- In each case, his outstanding message and manner of presentation have earned him standing ovations from the audiences. Contrasts Ways Of Life His topics at the Industrial Management Club dinner will be "A Race Without Winners," and he will show the contrast between the American industrial way of life, usually called the free enterprise system, and the deteriorating forces of socialism. Those interested in attending are urged to contact the Anaheim YMCA at once as the size of the audience will be limited. 1st Anniversary Anaheim Hospital Anaheim Memorial Hospital celebrated its first anniversary this week, February 24, with official congratulations from Mayor A. J. Schutte and President Clyde Cromer of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. The hospital, under the capable administration of James W. McAlvin, has served a total of 4,-272 patients in its first year. It now has a staff of 160 doctors of the Orange County Medical Association and the 72-bed institution has an annual payroll of $425,000 with 144 hospital employees. Guild Gives Assistance One of the biggest "assists" given the hospital this year was the organization of the hospital Guild under the leadership of Mrs. George Fowler. Mrs. Fowler said they now have a membership of 151 ladies who have put in a total of 1,398 volunteer hours since the Guild was organized in September. More members are needed, Mrs. Fowler said, and ladies who will be interested in doing any of the many phases of activity are urged to contact the hospital for reference to Mrs. Fowler. The Guild will receive its charter March 10. Other hospital officials are Eva M. Carlill, superintendent of nurses; Lloyd N. McAllister, M.D.; president of the executive board; Wayne W.

Employees In AIDS The employees of Pacific Telephone Company in southern California have re-subscribed membership in their chapter of A United Givers to pledge a total of more than $600,000 to area's charities during the T-59 year. The amount was made pay by Eva Terpsten, assistant president and director of Telephone Company's emploi AID program.

Money given in each area is returned to area through AID's unique network. will soon be commenced the new residence of Drug-erge on Broadway and when it will be one of the best homes in that vicinity. Weisel and family are expected here from Europe the middle of April. Train for Good Jobs There was one bright spot reported by the director, however. He said the training the boys receive in industrial and manual arts at the Devel Institution has prepared the majority for work when they are paroled by the authority, and that most of them obtain good jobs and are earning a good living. Unfortunately, there are the incorrigibles who will never amount to anything, and will be released sometime, only to be returned to the CYA or end up in one of the state's many adult institutions. Return to "Love" We must all face up to the fact that most of these juvenile delinquents are from "delinquent homes." Until we can return our homes and our children to the dedication of love of country, love of home, and love of God, this horrible increase of our youth in penal institutions may continue to grow worse.

Located at 20391 Southwest Newport Avenue, Costa Mesa, across from the Santa Ana Country Club, the "Weatherama" will be previewed tonight (Thursday, February 26) by engineers, architects and contractors from throughout Orange County. Manufacturers' representatives and Edison experts will show how heat pumps extract heat from interior air and pump it outside during warm weather and reverse this cycle to warm homes during cold winter days and nights. Long said several new uses of electric heat pumps — such as economical warming of swimming pools — will also be demonstrated. "Heat pumps are of special interest to modern homemakers because of their compactness, since one will do the work of two — both heating and cooling" In addition, there are no complicated connections needed for water pipes or fuel lines, storage tanks, cooling towers or fuel bins. Even so, heat pumps control temperature, dehumidify the air and remove pollen and other offensive dusts. Long said. He pointed out that the principal of the heat pump is much like a refrigerator which extracts heat from the interior and pumps it outside the cabinet, except that the heat pump can reverse the cycle and pump heat either into or out of the home.
