THE EXTRA COLUMN (By Frank Hall) Walt Taylor of you-know-who lumber company, cupped his hand behind his ear at a recent luncheon and suggested: "A little louder, Clyde." Without changing facial expressions, or raising his voice, much, Clyde replied, "I'm afraid to talk any louder because I don't know what I'm going to say." Hiocup remedies were flying thick and fast at Anaheim Memorial Hospital one afternoon this week. Dave Heebs, office accountant was the victim. It proved to be nothing serious. He tried none of the suggestions and recovered quite soon after listening to them. From the Opti-Scope: "Bob Huffman, after one shuddering bite, asked the waitress, 'Miss, what's wrong with these eggs?' 'Don't ask me,' was the reply, 'I only laid the table.'" K-EZY evidently took it too EZY in getting ready to start broadcasting. Missed its first announced date of April 1 by several minutes. But Cliff Gill, president, is up to his gills in work and promises to let us take it EZY real soon. Are You One of These? Are you a motorist whose nerves have been tested to breaking point by zigging and zagging bicycle riders? Or are a bicycle rider whose knuckles have been darned near scraped fenders of cars driven by nervous motorists who crowd you between their car and the cars parked along the curb? Put yourself in either place and the situation is not conductable to happy feelings. The California Vehicle Code treats the ridden bicycle as a vehicle. All bicycle riders should ride with traffic and should allotted their right-of-way space, as any other vehicle. This week is National Bike Safety Week and it seems fitting proper that this week would be an excellent time to get bicycle back on the "traffic" side of the street, off the sidewalks, following along in the same pattern as motorisas. This week, intensive instruction is being given to all Anaheim school children who ride bicycles. The ultimate attainment for bicycle riders will be an operator's certificate which may be pressed only after proficiency has been demonstrated in knowledge laws governing the use of bicycles as well as ability to ride. Mrs. James Griffith, president of Horace Mann P-T.A., has leading a committee of nineteen Anaheim citizens in the study of the bicycle problem. They have been meeting each Tuesday for 10 a.m. until noon, since January, studying methods and plans instructing bicycle riders and promoting a safety program. Members of the committee represent the elementary district in Anaheim, the parochial schools, the P-T.A. organizations of the Anaheim police department. Mrs. Griffith was the original unteer to sponsor this program and the Gazette extends congratulations and best wishes to her, and to her committee for the effort put forth. We sincerely hope this time and work will bring desired results and that both motorists and bicycle rider will policed and warned to adhere to vehicle code regulations. It is belief of the Gazette that friendly, well worded warnings will not both the motorists and the bike riders more appreciative of others position and will do much to increase traffic safety. Motorists: when you see you are approaching a bicycle rease up behind him as you would another automobile, or a taxi. Don't try to crowd him into parked cars. Bike riders: quit scaring the living daylights out of motor by coming at them, head-on, or by zigging and zagging off and sidewalks and across intersections, in direct violation of traffic regulations. This problem is going to take cooperation. It has been reported to the Gazette that 93% of the automobile-bike accidents have caused by bike riders. And we might add that dozens of poten accidents are avoided every day by careful motorists. This is a life-saving matter. Let's put our hearts into K-EZY evidently took it too EZY in getting ready to start broadcasting. Missed its first announced date of April 1 by several minutes. But Cliff Gill, president, is up to his gills in work and promises to let us take it EZY real soon. A confused lady called me this afternoon: "Do we turn our cloaks, ahead or back Sunday morning?" Must be many who get confused, so here's how to get unconfused: In April they go ahead. Get it! "A" for April and "A" for ahead. I don't know what to suggest for the fall but maybe when that time gets here I'll have a solution. Clippings worth repeating submitted by one of my faithful readers: As a mother slipped out of the room after putting her son to bed, she beard him add this postscript to his prayers: "... and God, please make Jimmy Jones stop hitting me I've mentioned this before." Asked why he was late for Sunday school, the small boy replied, "I was going fishing, but Daddy wouldn't let me." "And I suppose he explained to you why you shouldn't go on Sunday," inquired the teacher. "Yes ma'am," the boy admitted "he said there wasn't enough bait for both of us." The young man was being interviewed for a job as a newspaper reporter. "A young couple got a preacher out of bed at 8 a.m. and asked him to marry them. How would you write a headline for that?" asked the editor. The applicant got the job with this headline: "Parson Ties Knot in His Shirttail."

Morris pointed out that Better Business Bureauaus, long supported voluntarily by reputable merchants dedicated to service and satisfaction for their customers, are performing an invaluable, oftentimes thankless, service to California consumers.

A request was also made for the control of rate schedules. Following this meeting, a draft of a proposed ordinance will be drawn up by the County Counsel's Office, and a second meeting will be held with City Administrators for further discussion on ambulance ordinances within the various cities of the County. Geier further said that if a refinery were to valuate an existing area, "it would never contemplate its structure there; for the reason that in order to operate such a plant successfully full cooperation of community and those with whom it can come in contact must be requisite." Geier illustrated his view points with charts, photos and other visual means showed what the company well as other large oil products have done in the past. He put out that, as in the past, it would not only adhere to a listing air pollution regulator but would in any way possible instrumental in furthering green measures of smog prevention "whether or not they were quired."

Kuchel of California is one of the sponsors of a bill to create a special commission to make a speedy investigation of the Nation's unemployment problem and recommend remedies to Congress. The Senior California Senator joined Senate Democratic Leader Johnson and a number of others in proposing a study of "areas of critical unemployment following expressions of concern at the rate of recovery from the 1958 recession.

Report Within 90 Days The Commission would be required to begin work as soon as all members were appointed and to make a report within 90 days. "Generally speaking; the economy of the United States is good." Kuchel said in explaining reasons he favors establishing an unemployment commission, "but the facts are that in some parts of our country, and in some lines of work we continue to have a chronic and unfortunate situation. There is need for reliable data about economic dislocation which unhappily has occurred in some areas and for better information about apparent inconsistencies between employment levels and rates of industrial operations. No Reason for Panic In a Nation with almost 64,000,000 workers gainfully employed, there is no reason for panic or for ill-advised legislative action. Yet, as long as 4,360,00 Americans are seeking jobs and ready to work, obviously we must take a thorough look at our economic machinery and see if something is out of kilter which the Federal Government can repair to the advantage of the entire Nation. The Commission on Unemployment Problems could be of great assistance to the Congress, the Administrative Branch of our Government, and the American people as a whole by approaching the situation with a clinical viewpoint and suggesting corrective steps.

"It is an understandable and natural reaction to take a negative attitude toward progress within a city, area, or county, but the facts are not made known." Geler said. "That is why Signal does not expect anyone to unanimously accept the possibility of a refinery. However, we do feel that it would be an asset, at a liability to Orange County to locate the new Signal refinery Huntington Beach, and the company is most willing to make available information to those concerned in order to establish what in the company's opinion, a valid explanation of its porposed operation."
