Bond Issue Should Be Approved We have read so much about the rapid growth of Anaheim and of its being so aptly dubbed "the fastest growing section in the United States." Our growth thus far is solid and valid, and apt are the words used in its description. Important, too, is the fact that with Fullerton, and now with the new Aeronutronic setup at Newport Beach, we are rapidly becoming the electronic center of the country. Bond Issue Should Be Approved We have read so much about the rapid growth of Anaheim and of its being so aptly dubbed "the fastest growing section in the United States." Our growth thus far is solid and valid, and apt are the words used in its description. Important, too, is the fact that with Fullerton, and now with the new Aeronutronic setup at Newport Beach, we are rapidly becoming the electronic center of the country. But with all this, have we the know-how to embrace and enhance this vast industrial district, ever increasing, and our remarkable population growth, in harmony with attendant municipal and civic facilities which unless provided, will eventually stunt the present remarkable progress? Are we willing to authorize the necessary financial investment to make a perpetuation of these industrial and population gains? This is a big and vital question confronting every soberminded, public-spirited citizen of Anaheim. Our schools are good and are progressing; likewise our churches, but what of our water situation, our fire station, our library, our land for future parks and recreation spots, our municipal electric facilities, our necessary street construction and storm drainage for sewers? If a city is to progress satisfactorily, such improvements must be provided—willingly so, carefully so, thoroughly so—through approval of a city's voters. Anaheim needs a start on the improvements as outlined some months ago by a Citizens Committee on Capital Improvements. The committee recommended a 15-year, $32 million plan for city facilities to meet the needs of this city's population expected to reach 100,000 by next June, and for its constantly increasing industrial demand. Now, City Manager Keith A. Murdock has presented to City Council the blue-print for the initial steps in this program, one which, it is estimated, will come $12 million. Council will set a date for the election at which Anaheim voters can approve or reject this program. Anaheim is beginning to step out of its swaddling clothes. It shouldn't have to don them again—ever. We are growing up—and rapidly. The voters of Anaheim should approve this $12 million bond issue, not casually, but enthusiastically, as is THE ANAHEIM WAY. Light, Peace and Love-Jesus When Christ was born, a new creative force began to produce a better civilization, and this is true despite the nuclear age with its recurring hot and cold war and perils from missiles and other space weapons. As Laurence Housman said. "Light looked down and beheld Darkness, 'Hitcher will I go,' said Light. Peace looked down and beheld War, 'Father will I go,' said Peace. Love looked down and beheld Hatred, 'Mother will I go,' said Love. S came Light, and shone; S came Peace, and gave rest; S came Love, and brought Life. Light and Peace and Love said, Navy Lt. Cdr.

Love looked down and beheld Hatred, Either will I go," said Love. S came Light, and shone; S came Peace, and gave rest; S came Love, and brought Life. Light and Peace and Love said, Either will I go," and Jesus was born." This is the comforting medley of Life itself, and even more vital, of Eternity. Remember Dec. 7! Are You Prepared? Next Monday, Dec. 7, Civil Defense Day, marks the 18th anniversary of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, an appropriate time in which to take inventory of our ability to meet any atomic attack. We know our military force is determined that we will not be caught with our guard down as we were at Pearl Harbor on that "Day of Infamy" in 1941. But what about our people? Are they prepared for atomic attack? We must realize that survival in the wake of a nuclear attack could be a starkly personal matter. We won't be able to count on the local police or firemen for help. We can't look to our doctor or neighbors or friends for aid. We'll be strictly on our own. Your life, and the lives of your family, might well depend on the preparations you make today. To be prepared, you must know: 1—Warning signals and what they mean. 2—Your community plan for emergency action. 3—First aid and home emergency preparedness. 4—How to Use Conelrad—640 or 1240 on the radio dial—to obtain official directions and instructions. This last will take special doing on your part. This protection cannot be packaged in Washington, or Sacramento, or Anaheim City Hall, and delivered to your door with the morning mail. You've got to supply your own protection, and the best protection is a family fallout shelter. The way to start is to obtain a new publication of the Office of Civil and Defense Mobilization, "The Family Fallout Shelter," from your local civil defense office, or by writing to "Box Shelter, OCDM, Battle Creek, Mich." The booklet contains building plans for five basic shelters, including a do-it-yourself project with con- Books in Review Weekly book listings presented by the Anaheim Public Library, 241 South Los Angeles St., Anaheim.
