Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Published Every Thursday VOL. LXXXIX, NO. 6 11 NEW BALLET FORM is tried by a daring bull rider as a wild Brahma sends him flying. This is the same type of thrills that will be seen at the forthcoming World Cham-pionship Rodeo, being held County Fair at the fair July 16 and 17. PUSH BUTTON ERA Contract Approved for Construction Of Modern Cypress Post Office Unit Congressman James B. Utt has been advised by Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield that a contract has been signed for the construction and lease to the Post Office Department of a new building for the Cypress Post Office. The successful bidder on the lease was Robert J. Ennen, 265 Bayshore Avenue, Long Beach 3. Ground breaking and construction of the new post office is expected to begin immediately, with completion scheduled about December 15, 1960. The lease will run for ten years with two five-year renewal options. The modern new postal building will be located at the southwest corner of Walker and Bishop streets. It will provide 3,428 sq. ft. of interior space, a 240 sq. ft. loading platform, and 9,000 sq. ft. of hard-surfaced space for parking and truck maneuvering. Specifications call for new modern lighting and equipment, including a low, open patron-service counter. Postmaster General Summerfield said, "This new facility will be another important step in the Post Office Department's Modernization Program which was auth-tain not only the modern patron-service counters and eye-saving fluorescent lighting, but provision is made for patron service after regular business hours." It was pointed out that the new postal facility, one of 1400 new postal buildings to be constructed this year, will remain under the private ownership while leased to the Federal Government and hence will pay local real estate taxes to bear its share of the cost of local government. The Postmaster General said that "Mail users will find mail service in the years ahead improved through an unprecedented five year program of scientific postal research and engineering." "The Post Office Department has under development," he said, "a machine that actually reads addresses on letters and then sorts the mail in special slots — ready for dispatch. Another machine separates rapidly moving mail according to address by pushbutton keyboard. Still another cancels mail at speeds of 30,000 letters an hour. Now being considered for use is a new compact customer-operated 'Postal Substation' with Consumer S 313.8 Billion A figure of 313.8 billion dollars was spent by Americans for gov-nt services last year. Expe-ntures for autos and recreation rose more than for education religion. Commerce reports indicate consumer spending in 1959 6.9 per cent above 1958. But lowing for higher prices on m-non-food items, the increase usually was only 5.8 per cent. Was far above the average of slightly more than 3 per-fer 1947-1959. The 1958 recession was only 0.9-cent. Every major category of far-spending shared in the expans Spending for transportation, many new cars, jumped the mo-15.4 per cent to a record 38.9 lion dollars. THE COMMERCE Departm- reported a jump of 11.4 per cent in "personal business" spend. This included higher interest p-ments on installment debt—writen a record last year—along with higher non-premium costs of It will provide 3,428 sq. ft. of interior space, a 240 sq. ft. loading platform, and 9,000 sq. ft. of hard-surfaced space for parking and truck maneuvering. Specifications call for new modern lighting and equipment, including a low, open patron-service counter. Postmaster General Summerfield said, "This new facility will be another important step in the Post Office Department's Modernization Program which was authorized in the last session of the Congress with the valued assistance of Congressman Utt. The program is making significant improvements in postal services for the public by providing new buildings and equipment, designed for efficient and economical mail-handling." The Postmaster General said that "Under the Post Office Department's Commercial Leasing Program, the Department is now awarding contracts for new postal facilities at the accelerated rate of over five buildings every working day. To achieve complete modernization of the postal plant, a total of 12,000 post offices must be modernized or replaced due to lack of space and absolescence." Adding further details concerning postal service today, he noted that "the more than 35,000 post offices are handling a total of 62 billion pieces of letter mail and parcel post annually. This is an all-time record and an increase of more than 24 per cent above the approximately 50 billion pieces handled annually only 10 years ago." Mr. Summerfield said that the postal facility will be typical of many others going up elsewhere throughout the country. "These new post offices," he said, "con- "The Post Office Department has under development," he said, "a machine that actually reads addresses on letters and then sorts the mail in special slots — ready for dispatch. Another machine separates rapidly moving mail according to address by pushbutton keyboard. Still another cancels mail at speeds of 30,000 letters an hour. Now being considered for use is a new compact customer-operated 'Postal Substation' with mechanical devices that sell envelopes, stamps and money orders, accept parcel post and make change. "Mail-handling on the workroom floors of our larger post offices is rapidly being mechanized which will end the old-fashioned methods of hand-labor, and the resultant clutter and confusion." Mr. Summerfield further stated "We are making great strides in speeding the mail into and out of our larger 'gateway post offices' by the installation of mechanical and electronic machines. Their installation in these large mail volume post offices will result in faster mail service to every other post office, whether it be in a large city or small town, bringing nearer the Post Office Department's goal of next day delivery of mail anywhere in the nation."

Consumer Spending Totals 13.8 Billion Dollars Song Dedicated To County Fair By Lyric Writer The Orange County Fair can probably claim the distinction of being the only county fair in the world ever to have a song written for it by one of the foremost "residents" of Tin Pan Alley. Johnny Mercer, acclaimed as one of the music world's best lyric writers, has banged out a typical, slingy, swingy lyric for the local fair. The song, re-titled "The Pirate Queen" by Mercer, is actually an old tune-dressed up in his new lyrics. It originally was issued as the "Island Queen," written by Floyd Huddleston and Al Rinker. Johnny Mercer recorded the old tune several years ago and when he was asked to knock off lyrics.

Straub Distributing Is a 12-year-old firm which distributes both Anheuser-Busch and Olympia Brewery products in Orange County. "We are not only situating in one of the county's best industrial sections but, because of our more central location and proximity with the Freeway and Southern Pacific, we expect to realize a definite cost savings." Straub noted. The new facility on a one-acre site, is constructed of reinforced concrete wall panels with laminated wooden girders and features extensive air-conditioned offices and a large, refrigerated draft box area which can handle over 1400 half barrels. Landscaping will include a large decorative planter for growing hops.

W. Caspers, that the June 30 statement shows resources in excess of $6,000,000, an increase of nearly 100 per cent over the same period a year ago. “This is approximately five times the industry average,” said Caspers, “and is one of the reasons we recently purchased property for a new main office opposite the Broadway Orange County Shopping Center.” At the last meeting the board of directors voted to continue to pay 4½ per cent per annum, for the third quarter ending September 3, 1960. Nutrition Expert Suggests Better Diet for Indians Dr. Wendell Griffith, UCLA nutrition authority, who will be home from a year in India, stated that Indians must be taught to eat properly. Dr. Griffith thinks Indians need beans and peanuts and such food-stuffs to counteract protein malnutrition, prevalent among infants and small children. He urges fortifying Indians with more protective foods instead of attacking them with such food staples as rice, wheat and other food grains. He suggests poultry, fish and meat for the non-vegetarians and production and consumption of more milk and dairy products, legumes, leafy green and yellow vegetables, and flour from oil seeds like peanuts for non-meat eaters.
