The Anaheim Gazette W 89 Years of Devotion to All That Is Good in Anaheim VOL. LXXXVIII—NO. 28 11 A BRIGHT STAR for a Christmas tree—placed there by some of the stars of the Magic Kingdom's entertainment-filled holiday celebration. They're Nancy Weaver (center), Sharon Bliss and Bob Hasty, members of the popular Disneyland Carolers who entertain visitors with Yuletide songs and hymns from Dec. 19 through Jan. 3. Disneyland's holiday festivities began officially with the gala Christmas Parade on Sunday. Victory Appears Certain for New UC Campus Site Confidence that solution of problems to bring a University of California campus to the Irvine property in the Newport Beach area will be achieved is expressed by Irvine Co. President A. J. McFadden. "Final determination to locating the campus on a 1,000-acre site at the Buffalo Ranch along MacArthur Blvd. will not be difficult." A City in the Making Newsweek Closeup Boosts Anaheim In a December issue, Newsweek, a national publication, affixed Anaheim a top spot in its resume on "Westward and Southward Course of Empire," detailing the advantages of this city, including far-famed Disneyland. Believing that the article is of paramount interest to every Anaheim citizen, the ANAHEIM GAZETTE as one of its featured special services, and by special arrangement with publishers, reproduces the article which follows: "Most Americans who have heard of Anaheim at all know it the home of the child's delight—Disneyland. Yet by 1970, unless all projected figures lies, Anaheim will be a major city in its own right, with manifold and formidable Among them: A ridiculously inadequate Confidence that solution of problems to bring a University of California campus to the Irvine property in the Newport Beach area will be achieved is expressed by Irvine Co. President A. J. McFadden. "Final determination to locating the campus on a 1,000-acre site at the Buffalo Ranch along MacArthur Blvd. will not be difficult," comments McFadden. He added that there are "a sizable number of problems" to be ironed out before the Board of Regents makes a final decision on the Irvine Ranch location, but declared that "much consideration has already been given to these problems and the way appears to be clear for a favorable edict." Roads Are Necessary The Board of Regents had decided to limit further investigations on a site for the proposed 25,000 student campus to the Irvine Ranch property after the Orange County land owners offered the necessary 1,000 acres as an outright gift and agreed to establish a land-use control and development plan for 10,000 acres surrounding the campus site to insure an "ideal university community." Among the problems to be ironed out by the Regents and the Irvine Co. are demands by the university board that all necessary roads and utilities on the site be provided without cost to the University of California. The Regents also want an adjoining junior college to be enlarged to serve the university campus. "There is a spirit of complete (Continued on Page 2) In a December issue, Newsweek, a national publication, affords Anaheim a top spot in its resume on "Westward and Southward Course of Empire," detailing the advantages of this city, including far-famed Disneyland. Believing that the article is of paramount interest to every Anaheim citizen, the ANAHEIM GAZETTE as one of its featured special services, and by special arrangement with publishers, reproduces the article which follows: "Most Americans who have heard of Anaheim at all know it is the home of the child's delight—Disneyland. Yet by 1970, unless all projected figures lie, Anaheim will be a major city in its own right, with a population of 250,000 sun-tanned citizens. What We Should Do Its recent expansion from a drowsy country town of 11,000, fragrant with orange groves, is the most spectacular of any city's in a state where spectacles are commonplace. It claims to be the fastest-growing city not only in the West, but in the entire nation. Certainly, it is typical of the way the new West is booming, expanding, creating new opportunities and new problems. Just to catch up with its present population spurred by manufacturing, and Disneyland, Anaheim must build 40 miles of sewers, 45 miles of water lines, 155 miles of new or improved roads in the next 10 years, at an estimated cost of $40 million. Bus System Inadequate With 27 elementary and junior high schools and two high schools already operating, Anaheim must build four new schools by the end of 1963, and thereafter one every two years for ten years. Total cost: $60 million. The problems besetting the government of so fast-growing a city are manifold and formidable. Among them: A ridiculously inadequate transportation system — a single private bus company with two buses. A street system designed for 14,000 and forced to serve 100,000. A jail so decrepit that police are unable to avoid keeping prisoners overnight. City officials are acutely aware of all their nagging problems. They have the plans — and money, or its source, to correct them — if they ever stop growing long enough to catch their breaches. Fifteen Servite High School students received a rigorous screening before being chosen to take part in the new Anaheim school's program in science education. The program aimed at developing scientific talent gifted high school students, go under way today. More than one-third of the current enrollment of Servite high school took a difficult, 2½ hour-long qualifying examination used in a former National Science Test Search competition.

Ira E. Ogden, vice president of the bank’s Los Angeles headquarters, reports the bank has acquired property at the northeast section of Ball Rd. and Los Angeles St. for the new branch. Two parcels have been purchased and one leased, he added, to provide a site large enough for construction of a modern bank building designed to serve the needs of this rapidly expanding area.

Four Branches in Four Years "Even in mushrooming Orange County," he commented, "Anaheim's growth has been amazing. The city has added more than 76,000 people since 1950 and shows no signs of slowing down." Ogden said that the Bank of America has sought to keep pace with this rapid increase by opening three new branches in Anaheim in the past four-and-one-half years—in Disneyland, West Anaheim and East Anaheim. Still another branch, at Brookhurst and Ball Rd., is scheduled to open next month. Little Notes By ED-E. HERWIG (Managing Editor) As Christmas Eve and Christmas Day approaches Ye Editor of Little Notes finds himself a bit envious. Now, that's not an enviable position or suitable frame of mind to be in at the Yuletide season—but there's a personal reason, entirely plausible and proper. We're envious of the trim shapes, narrow waists, throwback shoulders and erect bearings of Fire Chief Ed J. Stringer, Assistant Chief James J. Heyling and the rest of the fire laddles at Anaheim's Central Fire Station. Being inquisitive and also desirous—a bit after Christmas—of getting rid of our own "busting bulge," we asked Chief Stringer the other day, "how come?" Well," explained the tall, gray-blue eyed, square-jawed, 55-year-old "Smoke Eater," who, Anaheim approaches Christ and reverence for a great history of a vast area and enterprise of a drenn, and of hope inherent in the peace that "passes all united by 'hot' and 'cold' war oppressed. There will be the comfort Anaheim's thousands of home Christmas Eve, with its mystique noise and confusion of Christmas besides the traditional tree, as even more hearty Christmas key, duck, ham or chicken.

"Christmas In Many Land," the theme of the two-weeks servance at Disneyland. The faithful "Living Christmas Tree" sentation of the Western School Choir is scheduled for p.m. on Dec. 24, and "Christ in Latin America" on Dec. features festive Posada pans and the Breaking of the Pine. The park is open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m from Christmas through Jan. 3. The Anaheim Junior Chaul of Commerce is distributing "Christmas Food Baskets" week to needy and temporary destitute families. Turkeys, ned goods and holiday items in the baskets, Junior Chaul President Lee Morris is in chic with Joe Redenski chairman committee including Garth Caud, Don Tillman, Ernie Aison, Lous Francis, Bob Skov. Stay Sober Over Holidays Plea of Police and Governance Careless Yuletide motorists are urged by Gov. Edmund Brown and Anaheim Police Chief Mark H. Stephenson to drive fully during the Christmas and New Year's holidays, and not bring death or injury to themselves or others. Said Gov. Brown: "How wonderful it would be if we could put aside the necessity of enforcing good, by doing good for good's sake!" Said Chief Stephensn: "Every motorist should make an extra effort to stay cold." QUALIFY FOR HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE SEMINAR Been Servite High School gets received a rigorous start before being chosen to part in the new Anaheim program in science education. The program, aimed at helping scientific talent in high school students, gets away today. We than one-third of the current enrollment of Servite high school took a difficult, 2½ hour qualifying examination used former National Science Talent竞赛. The seven mores and eight freshmen scored at the top of their respective classes on this test on Dec. 9 brought their parents to an orientation meeting at the school on Dec. 10. At the meeting the principal, Rev. Leonard M. Mazurk, O.S.M., explained the workings of the program and his experiences with a similar group in Chicago last year. "Attrition will be rather high," he said, "because the program is tough. Some of the student group may have already reached the top level of their capacity; others have unlimited abilities, and still others will find they don't really belong in the Seminar program. The program is not an easy one for parents either, because their youngsters may have to use facilities at home to pursue their experiments and research, and the work may require long hours of study and free time. The only limitations are the ingenuity and desires of the students." Foundation Is Backer The project is being set up under assistance from the Joe Berg Foundation for the Advancement Careless Yuletide motorists are urged by Gov. Edmund Brown and Anaheim Police Chief Mark H. Stephenson to drive fully during the Christmas and New Year's holidays, and not bring death or injury to themselves or others. Said Gov. Brown: "How wonderful it would be if we could put aside the necessity of enforcing good, by doing good for good's sake!" Said Chief Stephensn: "Every motorist should make an extra effort to stay cold during the Christmas season, indeed throughout the year. Laws and motors just don't mix." Gov. Brown's appeal follows: "Throughout the year, the government of the state of California has thrown its full weight into a determined fight to cut down on the number of deaths and injuries suffered by our citizens at the hands of drunken, reckless and irresponsible drivers. "Until very recently, we had enjoyed a large measure of success in this effort, largely through stricter enforcement of traffic laws by the California Highway Patrol, and by stepped-up disciplinary actions by the Department of Motor Vehicles against reckless drivers. "Now we come to the sacred period of the Christmas year. In these days of rejoicing in the birth of Christ, how farful it would be if we could aside the necessity of enforcing good, by doing good for good's sake! "And I believe it is entirely possible to do just that, by membering what Christmas for in the first place. To help remember, I have joined Robert McCarthy and Brad Crittenden, directors of our State Departments of Motor Vehicles and the California Highway Traffic Control for spiritual guidance in dealing with difficult traffic problems which confronts us."
