Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Published Every Thursday VOL. LXXXVIII ANAHEIM, ORA AN EDITORIAL It's the Anaheim Wav What with its traditional and enterprising Hallowe'en celebration and the United Fund campaign, Anaheim did itself up proud the past week. But then, that is THE ANAHEIM WAY. In this the accolades for community service go to the hundreds of unselfish and able-minded citizens of this marvelous growing city. THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE as the oldest newspaper in the city takes upon itself the task, pleasurably so, of publicly thanking these men and women who did so much—gave of their own time and effort—to make these two civic enterprises an unparalleled, bangup success. The Hallowe'en celebration was a piper and a zipper; the Kiddies Parade—7 miles of 7,000 kids—was an inspirational splotch of color, and directed by Chairman Eldon Hauck, moved on time with a precision and speed that would have made an Army general envious. The big doings on Saturday, including the La Palma Stadium pageant and show, with its surprise climax, and the amazing street parade, went off like clockwork. Likewise, the United Fund campaign which showed the way for other cities in the ability to raise hard cash for welfare purposes it isn't an easy task. Manifestly, the GAZETTE cannot provide room to mention the hundreds of men and women who pooled their efforts and time to make this Hallowe'en celebration and this United Fund raising campaign successful, this including the valiant effort by Chamber of Commerce leaders and its staff. But we will list a few and present them as symbols of the disinterested efforts of all of their fellows. Our hats off to all of them and to the following: HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION—Fred Cooper, Tom Flynn, Stadium pageant and show, with its surprise climax, and the amazing street parade, went off like clockwork.

And underneath events leading up to next year's presidential campaign are really hot. Each draws back reluctantly when pinned down as to whether they are actual candidates, but all the same, each of the three is in the race up to his neck. Nixon came back to his Whittier home to rest up preliminarily to the busy days ahead. Just the same, he was busy with the California backers of his presidential campaign.

The city fathers took a definite step forward such by instructing City Manager Keith A. Murdock to confer with William Farrel, head of the successfully operated Santa Monica Municipal Bus System, relative to his making a survey of Anaheim's transportation needs.

The Anaheim Gazette today provides for its readers an amazing closeup of many conclusions reached and facts set forth in these two important reports. Since 1950, Orange County has accounted for nearly 10 per cent of the population growth of the entire state of California. In percentage terms, the Orange County growth rate has been more than 4½ times that shown by Los Angeles County, 4½ times that of the state, and 11½ times that of the entire United States. The famed San Fernando Valley, nationally known for its rapid development, has long been exceeded by Orange County. In the past 4½ years, Orange County's percentage gain has been twice the Valley's numerically, the net increase of 303,900 in Orange County compared with an increase of 185,300 in the San Fernando Valley. Cities Grew Rapidly Orange County cities have shown spectacular population increases. Anaheim, currently 92,000, is likely to reach 100,000 by 1980 census. Our population is six times more than it was in 1950. Santa Ana, with a population of nearly 90,000 has almost doubled its size since 1950. Garden Grove, 70,000, has about 19 times its 1950 population of 3,762. Fullerton has nearly tripled since 1950 and now exceeds 50,-000 population. The leading source of income in Orange County is manufacturing. Manufacturing employment has increased by 354 per cent since 1949 to a current total of 30,451 employees while payroll has climbed from $20,000,000 in 1949 to $157,224,000 in 1957, a 673 per cent increase. Net increase of factory workers has exceeded the number added in 23 individual states. Resident for 36 Years, T.K.Smith Top Mason, Dies Born in Honolulu and an Anaheim resident for 36 years.
