Vital Need For Childrens by Ginnie Bodner Just recently, local newspapers prominently heralded the phenomenal growth of Orange County whose population has soared to the present figure of 710,897, with further substantial increases anticipated in the next decade. Approximately one-third of these Orange Countians are children... youngsters who need help when health abandons their fragile bodies — when disease devours the tender flesh — when little hearts falter. The forthcoming Childrens Hospital of Orange County will be the answer to a prolonged and growing need for closer, faster and more economical care for seriously ill children living in this booming area. It will serve all race, creed and economic levels, including an Out-Patient clinic for children who require specialized care but not hospitalization — a Child Guidance Mental Health Clinic — 52 General beds — 8 isolated beds for contagious disease — premature and isolated nurseries — a complete heart center and a physical therapy unit. THE NEED for a special childrens facility is urgent. Orange County cannot give cial care to the majority of 200,000 children when seri ill ... just the sick ones away to Los Angeles hospitals year would fill our Childrens pital for three months. It will reduce the parental heartl and anxiety about children 800 per year) who must no hospitalized outside our Co away from home. The opportunity for such a structure is great.

Ground was broken last week for Danbrook school, eighth in Centralia elementary district, at 320 Danbrook street in Anaheim, south of Lincoln avenue. Plans for the new school plant have been in the making since the original draft and application to the State Allocations board in mid-summer last year.

THE NEED for a specialized Children's facility is urgent, for Orange County cannot give special care to the majority of its 1000 children when seriously ill. Just the sick ones sent by Los Angeles hospitals last year would fill our Children's Hospital for three months. It would cause the parental heartbreak anxiety about children (750 per year) who must now be hospitalized outside our County, away from home. The opportunity for such a vital picture is great. The medical skill is here; the facilities are not Orange County can have — on land provided without cost in the heart of this expanding area — a $2,000,000 60-bed Children's Hospital, all for a total outlay from the people of only $800,000! And expandable to 200 as the demands arise ... soon. THIS can become a reality, perhaps by 1961, constructed concurrently with the expansion program of the St. Joseph Hospital in Orange, thus becoming eligible for certain government funds without which Children's Hospital of Orange County cannot be built. THE PLAN is sound with many benefits for all. Primarily, specialized medical care for Orange County's children from birth to 16, within the proximity of their home. Children's Hospital will complement, and not compete with, other hospitals in the area. This hospital will be incorporated separately, will have its own medical staff, its own treasury and accounting, its own administrative nand guild, to insure that your Community Chest and Uni-ted Funds will help Orange County children. Incorporation effected before construction gains. NOBODY makes more children hospitals but even gains. Children's hospitals ate with deficits but common charitable funds and the worth of the Sisters of St. John to underwrite its operation their devotion, their expulsion and their finance insures future. A countywide interfere visory board will control theeral policy of the hospital.

The death fall of Mrs. Wanda Pfeiffer of 1062 Hermosa Dr. was watched by her horrified children and husband waiting on the ground.

Viewers said she left the plane with her arms folded across her chest and tumbled end over end before slamming into the earth in full view of 100 spectators.
