Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Published Every Thursday VOL. LXXXIX, NO. 20 11 United Fund Campaign Goal Highest Ever Here Joe R. Thompson, president of the Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund, had nothing but praise for the workers in the campaign this year and for the results to date. Thompson said that 50 per cent of the total goal had been reported to headquarters, and he is certain that a major portion of the balance was in the process of being collected or would be raised when Highway Dept. Calls for Bids For OC Project The State Division of Highways last week called for bids on six projects including traffic signals, highway lighting and channelization on Beach Blvd. (State Sign Route 39) at Orange Ave. in Anaheim and at Orangewood Ave. in Stanton. Bids will be opened Nov. 10 in Los Angeles. A total of $59. The State Division of Highways last week called for bids on six projects including traffic signals, highway lighting and channelization on Beach Blvd. (State Sign Route 39) at Orange Ave. in Anaheim and at Orangewood Ave. in Stanton. Bids will be opened Nov. 10 in Los Angeles. A total of $59,600 is available for the project, including $36,000 in state highway funds, an estimated $12,400 to be paid by Stanton and an estimated $11,200 to be paid by Anaheim. New Telephone Book Lists Record 206,000 Patrons A publication soon to be given mass distribution in Orange County doesn't have much of a plot, but what a cast of characters! It's the new Pacific Telephone Directory. Some 250,000 copies are to be delivered in homes and businesses within a three-day period, beginning Oct. 24. A record 206,000 listings will be included, up 26,000 from last year. Most noticeable change in the general appearance of the new directories will be the number of columns on a page. There will be four columns, instead of three. "This was done for several very good reasons," Harvey Hendrickson, local manager, said. "First, we've been able to keep the bulk of the book down to a size that's easier to handle. Second, by reducing the thickness of the book, we're able to keep both the costs and the weight down, while keeping it easy to handle." The first 26 pages are devoted to instructions regarding the use of telephones in each exchange. Among the explanations and welfare agencies. "First," he continued, "campaign costs are held to a minimum, much lower than if each of the agencies put on its own campaign." "Second, all-out community effort is good for a community to strengthen its civic interests. And thirdly, it saves time for the hundreds of volunteer workers who make one call for the many agencies united in the campaign." Just a few of the civic-minded individuals who are leading the various divisions in this campaign are: M. A. Gauer, Theron Jackman, A. W. Gray, Marshall McFie, B. W. Jordan, William Poirier, E. S. Hawkins, Robert Hutchinson, Harold Smith, Louise Sowder, Robert Waighi and William Schroeder. This is by no means a complete list but these names are mentioned to give the reader an idea of the wide interest in the United Fund method of giving. To call attention to any one of the agencies participating in the Fund this year is not intended to make it more important than any of the others. However, the following information is interesting regarding the activities of the Family Service Association as it has affected Anaheim this past year. The association reports that in the past year a total of 215 families in Anaheim have been helped by the service and that this has affected 877 children and adults. All of the services which are participating in the Fund this year will be found listed in an advertisement in this issue of the Gazette. These include everyone's favorite charity, sure to need financial assistance. The drive has been extended for a few weeks to give the workers time to concentrate their efforts and complete the calls assigned to them. If for any reason you have not been contacted by a worker with a United Fund campaign pledge cars, will you said. "First, we've been able to keep the bulk of the book down to a size that's easier to handle. Second, by reducing the thickness of the book, we're able to keep both the costs and the weight down, while keeping it easy to handle." The first 26 pages are devoted to instructions regarding the use of telephones in each exchange. Among the explanations are the user's individual free-calling area, and dialing numbering plans for calls placed outside the area. There are 478 alphabetical pages, compared to 650 last year. Hendrickson said 1.649,000 pounds of paper were used in the printing. $75 Venison Steak Hunter Pays Conscience Debt Twenty years of a pain in the conscience finally drove a California hunter to send the Department $75 for an illegal spike buck he shot about 20 years ago. He settled on that sum, he said, because another man was fined that much for the same thing at about the same time. The money could not be accepted as a fine by the Department, but it is permitted by law to accept contributions to the Fish and Game Preservation Fund for the conservation of the State's fish and wildlife resources.

Pearson said the association will make speakers available without charge to any organization wishing to learn more about the water situation.

The testing, which requires two nights, will be done Monday and Thursday, Oct. 24 and 27, from 7:15 to 10 p.m., in OCC's Counseling Center. A charge of $3 for materials is made. Disaster victims were 18 members of the Junior Guild of the hospital. The girls were transported to the YMCA building prior to the alert and they were bandaged and taped by doctors who arrived earlier to do this work to save tying up the ambulances in the drill procedure. It was coincidental, but what is very likely to happen in case of a disaster, that the emergency room at the hospital received three actual emergency cases at the same time the first ambulance rolled to the hospital. These cases were treated in the emergency room and the disaster cases shuttled to other treatment rooms. More than 100 of the hospital staff called back from their homes arrived to assume their respective duties and add to the hospital efficiency. The hospital was alerted of the disaster by Crane ambulance. The hospital switchboard operator then alerted the two professional telephone answering services covering the doctors on the disaster staff of the hospital staff. The efficiency of this system proved most satisfactory. Mr. McAlvin and Miss Eva at the hospital, thank those who participated in the drill, especially the Crane Ambulance, the Anaheim Police and members of the hospital Guild, women who jumped up from the dinner table to answer the emergency call. The entire drill was planned with a minimum of prior ing. Only key personnel were formation to those participa-aware of the planned disaster day and time.

These children, an expected 5000 of third to sixth graders, are in the midst of a Bicycle Safety Program being conducted at all city and parochial schools which makes Anaheim's progress in this area "one of the most thorough and also the largest undertaking of its sort in the nation," according to Harold J. Botts, bicycle safety chairman of the Anaheim Optimists Club. Mrs. Anna Sagaert is chairman of the program, with Mrs. Elleen Dart co-chairman. Eldon Hauck, coordinator of the program, commends the PTAs of the area, school principals, traffic division of the Anaheim Police Dept, and the sponsoring Optimist Club of Anaheim for their devotion to the endeavor which this year has spread to 31 schools in Orange County. Children are given instruction on bicycle riding and must have an understanding of traffic regulations and special bicycle safety rules. They must pass a written test as well as the practical test which is set up in school playgrounds. This includes an obstacle course, making a "U" turn, figure eight, and simulated boulevard stops and traffic light intersections.
