'THE QUALITY OF MERCY' 'Kindred Folk' To Help Youth Shakespeare wrote that "the quality of mercy is not strained." What was true in those Elizabethan days remains true today when the hearts of people are genuinely touched. Then become "just kindred folk" to the unfortunate. The hearts of Anaheimites have been touched indeed by the plight of the Harold T. Allaway family of 753 N. Vine. Especially by that of their son, Tommy, 13. A student at Freemont High, Tommy was accidentally shot in the head with a .38 calibre rifle on June 25 last. Since then the youth has been in a coma at Fullerton Convalescent Hospital. Almost completely paralyzed, this once healthy youth, filled with the young zest of life, is unable to speak or to partake of sufficient food to improve his condition—he has to be fed through an opening in his stomach. Mr. and Mrs. Allaway estimate that hospital, doctors and nurses fees have reached almost $10,000. And the Allaways haven't Two New Schools County’s Health Officer Watches Cranberry Scare Building of two new schools received steps forward Tuesday night at the meeting of the Anaheim City School District Board of Education. Purchase of a tract for $103,750 from Frank and Catherine Marie Kellogg, H. Clay and Dorothy L. Kellogg, Rose Marie Chast and Helen V. Aubin, the former Helen V. Kellogg, on the south side of Ball Rd., west of Nutwood St., in Southwest Anaheim, was authorized, and approval given preliminary plans for the school building prepared by Architects Smith, Powell and Morgridge. The site for the second school at Santa Ana and Walnut had already been obtained, and plans for the Kellogg School will be used for this building tentatively known as the Cooper School. Whether any cranberries on sale in Orange County have been contaminated by a cancer-causing poison, is objective of a quest undertaken by County Health Officer Dr. Edward L. Russell. The county health officer says numerous calls have been received at his office from persons who read of the situation in the newspapers. An alert was sounded when officials of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in San Francisco reported a shipment of cranberries from the Northwest was found to contain traces of aminotriazola, a chemical reported to induce thyroid cancer in rats. San Francisco’s chief food and (Continued on Page Two) Underground Lab For Nortronics Ground has been broken at the Nutronics plant in Anaheim for an underground research and development laboratory. The new facility will be the company's focal point for advanced engineering studies in the field of passive counter-measure rockets for national defense, according to T. H. Quayle, plant manager. Included in the underground unit will be a laboratory, static test firing range and a magazine for storing detonators and non-explosive propellants. Nortronics is a division of Northrop Aircraft Corp. Charge Dismissed A charge of wife beating against Ronald R. Owens, 30, of 12790 Garden Grove Blvd., Garden Grove, has been dismissed in Anaheim - Fullerton Municipal Court. It was charged that he committed battery against his wife, Connie. Lineman Hurt Robert Widing, 29, a telephone lineman, of 878 Philadelphia St., Anaheim, received a large splinter through one arm when his safety belt slipped while he worked atop a utility pole at Ball Rd. and Brookhurst. His left ankle also was bruised as he fell to the ground. Perry Clark of San Jose saved Widing from excessive loss of blood by applying emergency fourniquets to his wounds. Life can prove complex—even from avturvy—some times, with undertones of tragedy. Two weeks ago, 13-year-old Mary Madeleine DeForrest of 2673 Crescent St., Anaheim, was a happy, buoyant and carefree blue-eyed 7th grader, with scarce thought of ill health, possibly even with a thought, now and then, of approaching Christmas which, after all, isn't so far away. But within a few days she was to develop tuberculosis in one lung and both kidneys. Chances for survival, the medics say, are slight. The schedule called for Mary's entrance into Orange Hospital Monday of this She's certain to be there mas and New Year's—for a long time afterward. And, So It Was It was decided that Ch for Mary would be stag Sunday. So it was. And it was happy Christmas Sunday—nonce, the overtones of were replaced with galety ter and good cheer.

But, in a short session, it disposed of a serious traffic problem which has arisen a plague the new Western High School authorities. The Anaheim Union High School District reported traffic conditions at Western as "critical." In a communication to council it set forth that school buses find it difficult to get in and out of the school parking lot and in many instances are unable to deposit high school students in time to make their next school stop on schedule. In addition, many vehicles are parking on streets bordering Western High, and this presents definite hazard for students walking to school. The Union High School District asked for ordinance requiring signs on both sides of Orange Ave., restricting parking there during school hours. Request for Motel It also requested that some type of sign be posted on the west side of Western Ave., and that signs be erected on the east side of Western Ave., restricting parking there to 30 minutes. Also that this type of sign should also be posted for at least one block on Sandacita Ave., covering both sides of that street. Council passed a resolution granting all these safeguards for traffic about Western High. Council granted the Freeholders Investment, Inc., permission to construct one motel on the north side of Katella, between Easy Way and Good Humor, which will cost $200,000, according to Henry Sassoon who made the request. Freeholders propose to later erect two more motels (Continued on Page Two) Mishap by Mayor Bungs Up His Hand Anaheim Mayor A. J.

Nixon's homecoming last week, Gov Nelson A. Rockefeller, also a presidential hopeful, this week shoves personally into the California political limelight. Ostensibly, the New York governor will be in Los Angeles to attend the sessions of the Republican Western Conference at the Los Angeles Blitmore, starting today, and to address a Western Roundup banquet staged by the Young Republicans. It will, however, be the largest Republican Western Conference now wow since the organization's formation in 1935, and with more than 1,500 party chieftains from 13 Western states present, including Alaska and Hawaii, it provides a perfect backdrop for a Rockefeller sounding out policy. It is no secret within Republican circles that Rockefeller backers have been trying for weeks to pry loose some of Vice President Nixon's support in his home state. But with the polls showing Nixon getting stronger in California month by month, Rockefeller's campaign out here has been none too successful. Another anti-Rockefeller premise is that it has become manifest recently to many Republican leaders that Gov. Rockefeller Little ... Not By ED-E.

Schutte missed his aim the other day, resulting in one badly bunged foreinger. Mayor Schutte was repairing a valve at his ranch. Using a piece of jagged concrete for a hammer, he aimed a blow at the valve. Instead of hitting the valve, the mayor's aim was poor and he hit his hand. Hitzoner appeared at Council meeting Tuesday night with a well-bandaged hand and a lot of muggin on his face when questioned about the affair. New Fire Station Dedicated Nov. 12 Dedication of the new $43,774 fire station, recently completed on the southside of Orange, between Dale and Magnolia, has been set for Thursday, Nov. 12, at 2 p.m., according to Fire Chief Ed J. Stringer. Two platoons, each of five firemen, are manning the new station which meets an immediate need for that area of the city. The new station is equipped with a 1,000 gallon pumper. First alarm answered by firemen in the new station was for a mattress fire, quickly extinguished. LASTIME FOR MARY WITH UNDERTONES OF TRAGEDY Entrance Into Orange County Hospital Monday of this week. She's certain to be there Christmas and New Year's — perhaps for a long time afterwards. And, So It Was It was decided that Christmas or Mary would be staged last Sunday. So it was. And it was a very happy Christmas Sunday—for the once, the overtones of tragedy were replaced with galley, laughter and good cheer. A nursery owner in Chino provided a Christmas tree from his front yard and delivered it in the morning. The party was held across the street so as to be a complete surprise, according to her mother, Mary. "She's crazy about books and movie magazines," remarked the latter. Neighborhood children attended the party, as did Mary's three brothers, John, 8; Joey, 4, and Tony, 2, and her eight-month-old sister, Betty Joe. There were cards and gifts and every thing to make what her mother characterized as "a wonderful day." And then the after-thought: "It's the tomorrow and tomorrows that we worry about." Mrs. Diaz is now married to Joseph Diaz, a factory worker. Naturally she is worried about the days to come—and the nights—when Mary will be alone in her hospital room. "She likes rock 'n roll music and television. I don't know what the quiet will do to her. I know the cards and gifts would cheer her up. She thinks she's just going away for awhile so that her brothers and sister won't get sick." Perhaps the vists for Mary DeForrest is even "more wonderful" than that of last Sunday, wonderful, indeed, as it was.

CALIFORNIA STATE ZETTE 89 Years of Devotion to All That Is Good in Anaheim FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1959—NO. 21 14 PAGES cted To Shove on To 100,000 Gain of 8,000 Is Anticipated Another State Department-directed census planned for April is expected to show Anaheim's population beyond the 100,000 mark, a gain of 8,000 over the present 92,000. If this holds true Anaheim will be the first city in Orange County to achieve 100,000 population. It will also enrich the city coffers by $7 per capita for the 10,000 added population, or an overall of $70,000. In order to realize the full share of the state revenue from gas and motor vehicle taxes, the state census must be taken in April rather than wait for the Federal census due in December, 1960. Cost of such a census is $4,500. City Manager Keith A. Murdoch explains that it is recorded by State Department of Finance agents through figures from gas and electric accounts of newcomers in the city, building permits and figures from the previous Federal census—in other words, it is a statis- If this holds true Anaheim will be the first city in Orange County to achieve 100,000 population.

In order to realize the full share of the state revenue from gas and motor vehicle taxes, the state census must be taken in April rather than wait for the Federal census due in December, 1960. Cost of such a census is $4,500. City Manager Keith A. Murdoch explains that it is recorded by State Department of Finance agents through figures from gas and electric accounts of newcomers in the city, building permits and figures from the previous Federal census—in other words, it is a statistical analysis of population trend which has proved unusually accurate. Indicative of Anaheim's growth is the city permits for October which hit a grand total of $5,154,-393. Building Permits Thus Anaheim, characterized as the fastest growing community in the country, approaches a repeat of its record $50 million stride chalked up in 1955. Total new building valuation for the first 10 months of this year reached $41,714,537, compared to $38,062,251 for last year. Of the $5 million plus total for October, $3,595,000 was for a total of 509 single-family and multiple living units. $2 Swimming Pools Permits for 32 swimming pools valued at $100,502 were issued during October. Biggest commercial permit was $328,000 for hotel ocnstruction by Wrather Enterprises. Other large commercial construction started last month included: Ramo Wooldridge (offices) $235,000; Dr. Kourl (hospital) $220,000; Coastwise Inv. (light manufacturing) $110,000. Permits for apartment houses of four or more units numbered 56, with a total valuation of $2,-391,500. Mrs. Murdoch Better Following Operation Mrs. Jean Murdock, wife of City Engineer Keith A. Murdock, is convalescing at her home, 516 Wedgewood Ave., following a successful operation for internal troubles at Anaheim Memorial Hospital. Former Anaheim City Engineer Holyoke, Is Dead Anaheim City Council Tuesday night passed a resolution expressing condolences to Mrs. Maggie Holyoke, widow of former City Engineer George Holyoke, who died Monday, a year following his retirement from the city post he held for 15 years. Services for George E. Holyoke, 66. of 1015 Mohawk, Anaheim, who died Monday at Anaheim Memorial Hospital, presumably of a coronary attack, will be today at 11 a.m. in the chapel of Backs-Troutman and Kaulbars. Burial will be in Glen Haven, Wis. Mr. Holyoke had been an Anaheim resident 16 years and in Orange County 35 years. Mr. Holyoke had been employed (Continued on Page Two) Five Policemen Made Detectives Police Chief Mark Stephenson announces promotion of five Anaheim patrolmen to the rank of detectives. They are William J. Franklin, Lloyd Lowry, Frederick Stone, Allen Stevens and Brooks Wilson. We sank down in a comfortable chair in his office the other day and chatted with this just slightly stooped, bright-eyed and optimistic educator, and profited greatly. For some inexplainable reason, educators, you know, are, as a rule, an optimistic group. Perhaps it is because they work with youth and so are impregnated with youthful, vigorous ideas. Principal Bonney pinned that down with the statement: "I do not believe that children should be afraid of their principal or teachers. If all of them work together amicably and thoroughly they do not need to fear. A child who is afraid won't learn very much." Reckon that reflects the philosophy of most principals and (Continued on Page Two) Car Crash Almost Caused by Sneeze A sneeze by a truck driver almost brought misfortune to a police car on Harbor Blvd., south of Katella.
