JUVENILE DECENCY Scouting...50 Years Old This Week Had an Almost Legendary Beginning MAYOR A. J. SCHUTTE made the National Golden Jubilee of Boy Scouting here this week an official celebration with a proclamation recognizing both that occasion and National Boy Scout Week. With the mayor are Jim Reese of Explorer Post 272, Paul Joyce of Scout Troop 6 and Mike Fulton of Cub Den 126. This is for the believers of juvenile decency to read and take heart. It is no nebulous argument built out of erring and promiscuous statistics nor is it picture drawn through the rose-colored glasses of misguided idealism. It is for the cynic as well as the optimist to read and believe. It is factual—it is history of the Boy Scouts. Jewish Institute Held Here Monday Nights An adult Jewish Institute for Orange County residents is being conducted on Monday evening. The institute, under auspices of Temple Beth Emet, is being held at 400 N. Emily St. It will run for 10 weeks. Classes continue from 7:30 to 10:30. Hobbs CVB Chief Hotel owner Bob Hobbs has been named 1960 chairman of the Chamber of Commerce's Convention and Visitors Bureau. Other officers of the C and V are Frank Bila, vice chairman and Bill Schroeder, treasurer. Nurses Tour Plant The Orange County Industrial Nurses Assn. toured the Delco-Remy plant here yesterday. Tiffany Heads Senior Citizens SCOUTING IN America—as everyone knows by now—is observing the Golden Jubilee of its founding this week. To us locally it means a way of life to 8,600 boys and young men in Orange county and across the great nation 5,000,000 others. Monday night, at 8:15 p.m., these young men and their adult leaders gathered to observe one of the true examples of the selflessness and goodness inherent in human character—as exhibited in concern and dedication to ethics. How did it start? That is a magical story with a beginning that rivals even legend. In February of 1910 Chicago publisher William D. Boyce became lost in heavy London fog on the way to an important business appointment. The 51-year-old farming magazine publisher was about to give up in utter frustration when a young boy stepped out of the grey gloom and asked: “May I be of assistance, sir?” BOYCE QUICKLY accepted the Asian Finds City 'Friendly,' Isn't Sure About Gals An Asian government leader has ended a 2-month study of America in Anaheim with mixed feelings, but a conviction he "found a home away from home." Abdul Haye Khan, 44, deputy secretary of West Pakistan, spent nearly 10 weeks in Anaheim observing American cultural, political and economic life at its grass roots. Kahn and 20 associates from the new southern Asia republic came to the U.S. under an arrangement made by the state department and the University of California. Khan's semi-official guide during his stay in Anaheim was Alexander R. Tobin of the cit attorney's office. Khan, who has a wife and four children, found American women "charming," but cold." Nurses Tour Plant The Orange County Industrial Nurses Asm. toured the Delco Remy plant here yesterday. Tiffany Heads Senior Citizens Anaheim’s Senior Citizens highlighted the end of its first year of organization last Saturday at the Optimist clubhouse with the election of the group’s first official set of officers. Arthur Tiffany will head the citizens’ activities during the next year as president, and Walter O’Bannion will fill the vice president’s spot. Esther Twinen was elected secretary to serve along with the new treasurer, Mrs. D. D. Douglas. Cosma Wise and Mrs. Opal Walter will compose the group’s board. SENIOR CITIZENS, sponsored by the Park and Recreation department, was formed last year especially to serve the older residents of the city. It now boasts a mailing membership of over one hundred people and urges any interested persons to seek further information at the recreation office. Meeting on the fourth Saturday of every month, the new officers are now underway with plans which include possible weekly meetings, with such features as trips, lectures, potluck luncheops, plus plans for a knitting section. BOYCE QUICKLY accepted the boy’s offer to lead him to the address of his engagement and offered a shilling tip as payment for the courtesy. The boy turned it down, explaining a Scout “never accepts anything-for being helpful.” Boyce’s astonishment quickly turned to a keen desire to learn more about what the youngster said was one of the principles “of the General’s scouts.” The general turned out to be Maj. Gen Robert Baden-Powell, the spectacular and dashing hero of the Boer war. BADEN-POWELL was a picture page torn from the legends of British history. A soldier, artist, polo champion, author, big game hunter, spy, Baden-Powell became the nation’s youngest general officer at 43 and won national acclaim as a hero when he and a force of 1,000 men held a railroad junction for 217 days against an army of 10,000 in the teeming African jungles. Baden-Powell came away from that incredible experience, a thoughtful man. He wondered why so many city-bred English boys had been unable to cope with the (Continued on Page S-A) ANAHEIM G VOL.

Federal Census Crews Ready April 1 Opening of Elaborate Nose Count The federal nose counters are getting organized for the most complex census ever undertaken in Orange county. Officially the population count is the 1960 federal census, but census workers are going to take some highly individual polls for several County cities including Anaheim and Fullerton. They won't only want to know how many people live under your roof but whether you have air conditioning, two cars in the two car garage, a clothes dryer and food freezer and so on. Williams is putting together a 550 man staff of enumerators and hopes to kickoff the census April 1 and close it exactly one month later. Williams job is a key one nationally because Orange County appears to be the fastest growing county in the U.S. In the over 300,000 population class.

Another line estimate cost of $7.5 million, would water from the MWD's San­ lateral to the coastal area on the smaller line, engineers plain, could be built much quickly.

OLDER Council Objects to Renaming LINCOLN AVE. OLDER Council Objects to Renaming Area Streets for LA Avenue City councilmen have voiced disapproval of a proposal to rename Lincoln Ave. and Anaheim-Olive Rd. as Carson Ave. The city planning commission has made the renaming request on behalf of a county-wide move to eliminate contradicting street names for common thoroughfares. Both streets, the planning commission noted, would continue to be called Center St. as they passed through town. Councilman Charles Pearson said the name Lincoln Ave. is much older than Carson Ave. "Let Los Angeles change Carson to Lincoln," he stated. Councilman Rex Coons also protested the proposal on the same grounds. Mayor A. J. Schutte explained, "the name Lincoln Ave. dates back to 1857 and Carson only goes back to about 1868." Brookhurst Ave. Walks Studied Orange County Road Commissioner A. S. Koch has been asked to study the possibility of building sidewalks in the vicinity of Brookhurst Junior High School. Parents have requested construction of sidewalks near the school as a safety measure to protect the school's 2200 students who daily walk along Crescent and Brookhurst Sts. ANAHEIM ANAHEIM Conversation Pieces Basketball Birthday It was almost predestined, if you believe in fate, that Bill Walker become a basketball coach. WALKER, head coach of the Western high school basketball team, was born on Jan. 21. The year he is not telling. The game of basketball, according to tradition, came into being on Jan. 21, 1892, when Mr. James Naismith hung a pair of fruit baskets above a court in a Springfield, Mass., YMCA. 'Deeper in Debt' The national debt is costing Anaheim—rather the city's residents—about $4,741,000 a year, the Tax Foundation of New York reports. That's local taxpayers' share of the interest rate on $291 billion national debt. IT FIGURES out to roughly $1 a week for every resident of the U.S. If the national debt were to be paid off tomorrow Anaheim would have to fork up $151,965,000 as its share.
