Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Published Every Thursday VOL. LXXXVIII Police Dept's. Patrol Division Really Travels Fifty-five thousand to 57,000 miles a month. This is some traveling in any book. But to pin it down, that's the number of miles a month cruised by the patrol division of the Anaheim Police Department. Headed by Capt. Russell E. Hamlyn, the patrol division has 11 cars covering the 24 sq. miles of the city of Anaheim. REGULAR FORCE The regular patrol force includes 42 patrolmen including seven sergeants. An additional 16,000 miles per month is traveled by the motorcycle force and 3,000 per month by the traffic car. Hamlyn calculates 80 per cent of the calls the patrol division answers fall into the category of "assist to the public." These can range from simple disputes between neighbors over CAPT. R. HAMLYN —headed patrol Little Notes by Bill McCance (Editor) FREE RIDE TO WHERE?—One of the most complexing problems—possibly in the whole of Anaheim history—today faces city officials and residents alike. It is how to begin financing of the $32 million capital improvement program, now being determined, without putting too much more burden on the taxpayers. Citizen's Committees, after months of work and survey, have come up with recommended projects totaling $32 million. These are needed, they say, if Anaheim is to keep up with its thunderous growth and meet the future needs of Orange County's largest city. The major burden at the moment, however, is on the shoulders of City Manager Keith Murdoch. He is "blessed with" the job of trying to figure how to finance $10 million of these projects receiving immediate priority by includes 42 patrolmen including seven sergeants. An additional 16,000 miles per month is traveled by the motorcycle force and 3,000 per month by the traffic car. Hamlyn calculates 80 per cent of the calls the patrol division answers fall into the category of "assist to the public." These can range from simple disputes between neighbors over a fence line to saving a woman from injury in a "knock-down-drag-out" family dispute. In many cases the matters are of a civil nature. But in every instance the department answers the calls. If they fall into the civil court category officers instruct residents on how to take care of their needs. Residents to Get Parking Relief on Council Order Anaheim residents will receive relief from parking meters in the downtown area Friday and Saturday during Dollar Days despite some objections from city councilmen. The council Tuesday night by a vote of 3-2 granted the Downtown Merchant's Association permission to cap all the parking meters Resolution Okays Water Rate Hike It's official. The average Anaheim homeowner can look forward to paying an extra 50 cents per month on his water bill. The minimum rate of $1.75 per month was increased to $2 Tuesday night when councilmen adopted a resolution to this effect. For each additional 100 cubic feet after the first 750 the average homeowner will pay 14 cents per 100, or two cents more than in the past. The water increase was adopted to make the budget balance and to take care of added cost of water charged the city. Objecting to the declining Councilmen Rex Coons Borden. Both indicate the merchants should reduce the city an estimated $1 day for revenue lost by the meters temporarily operation. DEFICIT SEEN Max D. Anwyl represents association, told councilmen this deficit will be made extra money the city will in sales tax. "After all," clared, "if we make it soirable for residents downtown these two days will increase and enue to the city from charger will show a rise." Mayor A. J. Schutte, who favored the move, was of the practice he said in the past of merchants ployeees taking advantage free parking places during Dollar Days sales. He said he would vote measure if the merchants not to take advantage ofuation. These are needed, they say, if Anaheim is to keep up with its thunderous growth and meet the future needs of Orange County's largest city. The major burden at the moment, however, is on the shoulders of City Manager Keith Murdoch. He is "blessed with" the job of trying to figure how to finance $10 million of these projects receiving immediate priority by the Citizen's Groups. Murdoch is a rather quiet fellow when it comes to devulging how he intends to "do the impossible." His most recent comment on the problem is that he has the financing "half-way worked out." Now Murdoch is no different than any other resident of Anaheim. He does not want to jump into things. And when it comes to spending $10 million of the taxpayer's money, everyone is a little hesitant. If Anaheim wants to continue its status as one of the most prog- (Continued on Page 8) District Meets In New Quarters Anaheim Elementary School District Trustees for the first time will be meeting in new quarters tonight at 7:30.

NAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA 11 LE Mixed 'Sex Education Begin at Anaheim The controversial—and sometime touchy—question of sex education in the schools became a major last week in the person of Cecil M. Cook, a 37-year physiology teacher at Van Nuys High School, accusing of unprofessional conduct involving the moral turpitude for conducting a "little Kinsey survey" in his office. The hearings were continuing, but the Cook case dwarfed by larger question—what kind of sex education is being allowed and taught in the Anaheim School District? The Gazette went to the local school system's key administrator, Lowell Jones, director of curriculum, for the answers. This might surprise you but sex education is not nor has it been kept behind "closed doors" in Anaheim Union High School District. For the first time this mester some 3,000 10th graders will be the first "ed-group" ever to receive a sex education course as part of their daily routine in the local high school district. To be more specific, the course entitled, "Harm and Safety," will become part of the curriculum every 10th grader in the Anaheim High School District. The course, designed to not only take care of the health and emotional needs of today's teenagers, also will offer many questions on the sexual development and GOOD DUTY — Airman Recruit John A. Mauldin of 219 Agate looks like he's enjoying himself as he "guided" lovely Shirley Ann Hobbs "Miss District of Columbia" on her float in the recent Miss Universe Parade held recently. Mauding is attending the 5-Day Acelerated Training School at the Naval Air Station Los Alamitos. Trainees of the school carried flags of the countries represented and served as float navigators of the Miss Universe contestants in this the 1960 edition of the Miss Universe Pageant and Parade. Get Parking Council Order In the downtown area. Objecting to the decision were Councilmen Rex Coons and Bob Borden. Both indicated they the merchants should reimburse the city an estimated $100 per day for revenue lost by placing the meters temporarily out of operation. DEFICIT SEEN Max D. Anwyl representing the association, told councilmen that his deficit will be made up by extra money the city will derive in sales tax. "After all," he declared, "if we make it more desirable for residents to shop downtown these two days, our sales will increase and the revenue to the city from taxes charger will show a rise." Mayor A. J. Schutte, who said he favored the move, was critical of the practice he said occurred in the past of merchants and employees taking advantage of the free parking places during the Dollar Days sales. He said he would vote for the measure if the merchants agreed not to take advantage of the situation. City Youngsters Ready for Tours To Diego Zoo Beginning Monday The Park and Recreation Department will begin a week-long series of tours to San Diego Zoo in which children from eight years and up may participate with the consent of their parents. The tours will be taken by bus, leaving various school grounds in the morning and returning in the late afternoon. A fee of $1.65 is required and children are required to bring a sack lunch. The day's activities will include viewing the animals, a free animal act and a visit to the children's zoo. On Monday, buses for the tour will leave Roosevelt School at 8:30 a.m.; Lincoln School at 8:15 a.m.; City Park School at 8 a.m.; Palm Lane School at 8:30 a.m.; Savanna School at 8 a.m.; Western School at 8:15 a.m.; Salk School at 8:30 a.m.; Barton School at 8:45 a.m.; Aug. 12; Edison School at 8 a.m.; Price School at 8:15 a.m.; Cypress School at 8:45 a.m.; Aug. 14; Peter Marshall School at 8 a.m.; Maxwell School at 8:15 a.m. This might surprise you but sex education is now nor has it been kept behind "closed doors" in Anaheim High School District. For the first time this mester some 3,000 10th graders will be the first "ed-group" ever to receive a sex education course as of their daily routine in the local high school district. To be more specific, the course entitled, "Had and Safety," will become part of the curriculum every 10th grader in the Anaheim High School District. The course, designed to not only take care of the boy and emotional needs of today's teenagers, also will er many questions on the sexual development and turity of today's youngsters. REASONS GIVEN In the words of Lowell Jones, director of curriculum for the district, the course is more than one personal hygiene instruction and will attempt that "frank discussion" to answer some of the sex questions of our youngsters which they apparently fail to reat home. Each 10th grader will receive one semester Health and Safety five days a week. The other hie year will be devoted to driver-education course fered by the district. And for the first time a l education course will be offered in mass to both and girls sitting in the same classroom together. A pilot health and safety course was initiated the past summer session at Anaheim High School maintains that all the 100 students taking course enjoyed it and asked for more. "We learn great deal from the summer project," explains who is in charge of directing what textbooks and ses are put into the Anaheim highschooler's class. ADVANCE POINT Jones, however, is fast to point out that the project can only advance as fast as the teen-age attitudes towards sex progress. "We intend to be frank when the various suas 'petting,' sexual intercourse and pre-martial rel From Hobby To Profession Anaheim Painter Sees Is there any noticeable increase in the past 15 years of the cultural level of Anaheim, particularly in the field of art? If Armin Heying, who maintains his art studio at 863 S. Claudina St., and has been painting in this area for the past 20 years, is any judge, then the answer is "yes." At least from Heying's standpoint it has. He has turned a hobby and avocation into a business today which is paying its own way. From Heying's point there is more of mark for his art than there w he first came here in He cites two reasons turn of events: Either nique has improved thru years or the Orange homeowner is finding pal much to enhance the be value of his home. Hey puts the question in light: "It could be there a Mayor A. J. Schutte, who said he favored the move, was critical of the practice he said occurred in the past of merchants and employeeees taking advantage of the three parking places during the Dollar Days sales. He said he would vote for the measure if the merchants agreed not to take advantage of the situation. Time Nearing for Leveling Off in Home Building Anaheim may be reaching its leveling off peak in home building. That was the comment made by City Manager Keith Murdoch Tuesday night as he announced the proposal now under consideration by councilmen to increase by 50 per cent building permit fees charged here. Murdoch pointed out that there are only 3,000 more acres of land left in the city for residential development for single family residents. The manager explained this does not include land available for apartment house commercial and industrial development. Murdoch explained the council is now considering adoption of a standard building code which would increase building permit fees. It is modeled after the 1958 standard building code evolved by building inspection and material men.

But we will be moving on a cautious plane, always making sure the group is ready for such discussions," he says. He also wants to assure parents the instruction will be strictly on an impersonal basis—one which does not consider the individual problems of each teenager. "When the student feels the need for more advice," Jones explains, "he or she will have an opportunity to either go to a female or male instructor as the case may be and have personal questions answered." Jones points out similar programs have been adopted by many other high school districts. "And with a great deal of success," he relates. He also points out in the past the district has received many requests for such instruction." There is continued evidence some parents are not able to talk to their teenagers about sex," he declares. Jones relates the story of a 11th or 12th grader in one of the school's physicial education classes who asked the question, "Can I get pregnant by kissing?" but sex education is not new "closed doors" in Anaheim For the first time this settlers will be the first "mix-sex education course as part of local high school district.

Dr. Richard Kaywood will head the district's combined program this coming semester on health and safety and driver education. He will be assisted by 12 instructors, mostly men. The curriculum head also points out that the instructors beginning the new project this fall will supplement their current knowledge with in service training sessions before and after the semester begins. The instructors will attend a pre-school workshop the end of this month. Profession inter Sees Progress in Art Desires Here own way. From Heying's point of view there is more of market today for his art than there was when he first came here in 1924. He cites two reasons for this turn of events: Either his technique has improved through the years or the Orange County homeowner is finding paintings do much to enhance the beauty and value of his home. Heying also puts the question in another light: "It could be there are more people coming to Orange county than ever before with an interest in painting." CAREER STARTS Heying's career as a painter did not really begin full-time until after the war. He had been employed until 1943 by the Mutual Citrus Company of Anaheim. He then turned his talents to helping out the war effort as a machinist until a bad leg disabled him. From that point on Heying turned to art as a profession. "Of course I had painted a few pictures through the years as a hobby, but decided I would turn to it full-time," the artist who will be 64 in September says. Heying feels that it has taken a long time for his type of art to become popular. Crocker galleries in Sacramento to Laguna Art galleries have given his picture exhibits. He particularly is interested in (Continued on Page II) He cites two reasons for this turn of events: Either his technique has improved through the years or the Orange County homeowner is finding paintings do much to enhance the beauty and value of his home.
