"We want to make our Anaheim cyclists were again reminded this week that effective Sunday's Day, police will insist that they toe the mark with respect to city traffic regulations. Which means that all of you kids with bikes had better start digging them. The purpose of the new enforcement program is simple. "We want to make our streets safer for everybody—cyclists, motorists and pedestrians," said Police Chief Mark Stephenson. He urges that parents concerned take a hand, immediately, by cautioning their youngsters not to ride on sidewalks and to stop at all stop signs and signals. "In a survey covering the last several years," said the chief, "we have made the starling discovery that approximately 95 percent of auto-bike accidents have been caused by the cyclist." "It is obvious that we must do something about it." The State Vehicle Code, he pointed out, says that a cyclist using a public thoroughfare has the same responsibilities and duties as those of a vehicle driver. Most common violations are riding on the wrong side of the street, or upon sidewalks; failing to heed stop signs, riding double and riding after dark without lights. The Anaheim Bicycle Safety Program launched three years ago through the joint efforts of the school, the Parent-Teacher Association and the police department has laid the foundation for the new enforcement program, Stephenson said. "Since then every boy and girl in the third, fourth, fifth and six grades of our schools has had instruction in traffic regulations and safety measures," he declared.

In its 34th annual report, released yesterday, the society said "more has been done by and for the handicapped in the last 40 years than in all the preceding centuries." It noted that the word "cripple" may become obsolete in another generation as new rehabilitation techniques are perfected, but that some "obvious obstacles" must be hurdled in the meantime.

Of Older Folk A new tax schedule to aid persons entitled to more liberal deductions in connection with the support of aged dependents has been announced by the Internal Revenue Service. It is called Form 2948. The new schedule, with instructions, is available at local IRS offices of the county. In its announcement, the IRS said: "The new schedule will clarify instructions covering such deductions which will accompany Forms 1040 and 1040W mailed to taxpayers after the Christmas holidays. "As in prior years, if either the taxpayer or his wife has reached age 65 before the close of the tax year, the medical expenses of both can be deducted without being subject to the general limitation of such deductions to the excess over 3 percent of adjusted gross income. "As a result of a new law passed this year, medical expenses incurred for a dependent parent of 65 or over can also be deducted without being reduced by 3 percent of adjusted gross income. "Most taxpayers are not affected by these special provisions and may continue to compute their medical deduction on the regular Form 1040 or 1040W as they have done in the past. "Under Secretary of the Treasury Fred C. Scribner Jr. has advised the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee and the Finance Committee that the new tax schedule is considered the simplest method for taxpayers to reflect the more liberal medical expense deductions enacted this year. "The revision illustrates the difficulties encountered in keeping the tax form simple while at the same time reflect..." Of the 22,154 aided by Easter Seals in 1960, most were children afflicted with cerebral palsy, orthopedic disabilities and speech disorders, the society indicated. Medical-surgical care, various therapies and recreational programs, including summer resident camping, headed the services provided by the state's Easter Seal societies. Total public contributions during the year, including donations to the annual Easter Seal fund campaign, were reported as close to $3 million. Expenditures were cited as slightly above that amount. Cures Still Sought The annual report pointed out that medical science still hasn't found cures and controls for certain crippling diseases and disorders. The state Easter Seal agency also declared that many doctors know too little about rehabilitation and rehabilitation agencies, and that handicapped persons face job barriers "out of proportion to their abilities." Since its founding in 1926, the California Society for Crippled Children and Adults has been a pioneer force in establishing both public and private services for the physically handicapped in the state. The society is a key state affiliate of the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults, now in its 40th year of service for the handicapped as one of the nation's major voluntary health agencies.

Confirmation that Postmaster General Arthur E. Summerfield has authorized the new facility has been jointly announced by Senator Thomas H. Kuchel and Congressman James B. Utt. Motorists Urged to Get 1961 Tags Early in Renewal Period Motorists throughout the state this week are receiving reminder statements mailed from the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew their auto registrations for 1961 on or before next February 4. Applications for the red sticker that must be attached to the rear plate will be processed at 138 permanent DMV offices, some 25 special offices served by traveling crews of motor vehicle representatives, nearly 200 auto club branch offices serving organization members, and 145 temporary registration renewal stations in banks in the metropolitan areas of the state, beginning January 3. Director of Motor Vehicles Robert McCarthy said in Sacramento: "With more than 500 locations ready to serve California motorists in the annual registration required by law, we are prepared to handle this large operation quickly and efficiently. Automation produces a streamlined set of documents for us to handle, and the cooperation of banks and clubs is a real public service. "We invite those who desire the fastest and most efficient service to come to the registration offices early in the renewal period. We expect some applications to be mailed, but the most efficient service is had by paying the fee in person, in cash at one of the many authorized offices. The applicant then receives his new registration card and rear plate sticker without any delay." The only new feature of the statement forms this year is a point to be punched by the vehicle owner if he has changed his address from that shown on the card. Directions on the statement show where the corrected new address should be written in. The punching of the cards for the change will speed the filing of the corrected records, department officials said. Fee statements for commercial vehicles and trailer coaches were mailed December 1. ‘Shore Up State’s Economy,’ Brown Tells Commission Governor Edmund G.

The governor announced the appointment of Carl Zachrisson, San Francisco advertising executive, as commissioner of the agency, directing him to "concentrate on the promotion of new and diversified industry and, in turn, new payrolls." In addition to this overall objective, said the governor, the agency will also be available to: 1. Act as liaison office and adviser for business concerns seeking information and help in procurement of Federal contracts. 2. Sponsor clinics for small businesses, concentrating on correcting practices that often lead to business failure. 3. Maintain a state-wide census of industry, raw materials, markets and labor forces to guide industries in deciding on new plant locations.

Nearly 5,000 new post offices have been built since 1953 under the department's commercial leasing program, it was stated. Because these facilities remain under private ownership while leased to the Federal government, the lessor pays local real estate taxes. Also, since the buildings are constructed with private investment funds, capital outlays by the government are limited substantially to those for furniture and equipment. Expressing pleasure at being able to announce the project, the Kuchel-Utt statement said: "The new post office will provide the citizens of Anaheim with the latest in modern postal improvements, assuring patrons of more convenient mail service as well as providing a long needed, much better place to work for our dedicated postal employees."
