U.S. Census Showing Trailing Santa Ana County Water Official Says Area in Trailing Santa Ana County Water Official Says Area in No Immediate Danger in Water Finding ● Crooke Detalla Water Picture (A-2) ● County Fire Hazard 'Critical' (A-1) ● MWD Is Down Playing Water Crisis (A-4) Orange County faces no immediate affects of restricted deliveries of Colorado River Water as a result of a Supreme Court finding last week that the California-Arizona water agreement is invalid. The finding was made by Special Master of the Supreme Court, Simon H. Rifkind and must go to the court for final approval or disapproval. RIFKIND'S opinion would greatly reduce deliveries of Colorado River water to Southern California and increase Arizona's share in the river's flow. Howard Crooke, secretary of the Orange County Water District, a customer of the Metropolitan Water District, said that even if the Supreme Court upholds Rifkind there will be change in the amount of water available to Orange County for 10 years or so. Orange County and Southern California water leaders have gone on a record opposing the Rifkind finding by stressing that it overthrows the "first come, first served" concept and nearly one century of western water law. CROOKE SAID Rifkind's decision should point up to Orange Countians the need for haste in bringing water from northern California.

Thus Norman Cousins, editor of The Saturday Review, described the American people Ryans Are Flying Family; Anaheim Executive, Sons, Father-in-Law Aviators Flying is something the Ryans are keeping in the family. The family aviation tradition started in 1954 when Fred Eberhardt, 66, a retired Denver manufacturer, decided he wanted to become a pilot. He soiled and received his private pilot's license at 61. He became so devoted to his new hobby that he first purchased a one-engine plane and then sold it to ground and enrolled in a class. Last week Bill Ryan won his private pilot's license.

Lower Jet Fuel Line In Harbor Blvd. Job Work crews this week were lowering a jet fuel line that runs under Harbor Blvd. between Katella and Orangewood Aves. The project is in preparation for widening of Harbor Blvd. from three to four traffic lanes from Katella to Chapman Ave. The widening project will get under way in August. Father-in-Law Aviators Flying is something the Ryans are keeping in the family. The family aviation tradition started in 1954 when Fred Eberhardt, 66, a retired Denver manufacturer, decided he wanted to become a pilot. He soloed and received his private pilot's license at 61. He became so devoted to his new hobby that he first purchased a one-engine plane and then sold it to buy a twin-engine aircraft. THIRTY MONTHS AGO Fred and Mike Ryan, 16-year-old twin sons of Anaheim industrial executive, William Ryan went to Colorado to visit with Eberhardt, their maternal grandfather. Grandpop passed the flying bug on to the boys and during their visit gave them a gift of flying lessons to keep it virule. Returning home the twins convinced pop to let them continue flying lessons at the Martin School Aviation at Orange County Airport. Bill Ryan, vice president in charge of manufacturing at Anaheim's Electra Motors, drove the boys to airport for their lessons. He soon tired of waiting on the ground and enrolled in a class. Last week Bill Ryan won his private pilot's license. The Ryan twins will be leisurely logging flight until their next birthday, as they cannot hold a private certificate until 17 years of age. Each Sunday, weather permitting, the Flying Ryans and Grandad Eberhardt share enjoyment of their combined achievement. The quartet hopes to add one more member to the family squadron, Mrs. Ryan. When asked how he felt about his sons' early aviation career, the father said, "I'd much rather see the boys fly than buy a car. Flying gives them a sense of responsibility, a healthy respect for speed, well-pent recreation, and navigation has improved their ability to comprehend mathematical equations. As a result of this hobby, the boys may choose a flying or engineering career." The Ryan family resides in Santa Ana. County Supervisors Voice Official Disapproval of Reapportion Plan Orange County Board of Supervisors has officially put itself on record as opposing a plan for reapportionment in the State Senate. Board members said the reapportionment proposal could endanger the $1.75 billion water bond program by arousing animosity from the Northern California counties. Under the reapportionment proposal the senatorial representatives would be brought into line with population distribution. Los Angeles County's lone senator, for instance, represents more people than more than one-half of the state's 57 other senators.
