Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Published Every Thursday Established in 1870 VOL. LXXXIX, NO. 33 11 Million-Dollar Club Project Is Announced Portrayed as one of the most modern private social and recreational clubs in the Southland, the Tamasha Town and Country Club, a million-dollar Anaheim project, was moving toward realization this week. In announcing the undertaking, Anaheim Developer Loren E. Wagner, a member of the club's board of directors, said that a five-acre site on South Los Angeles Street near Ball Road has been purchased. Joining Wagner as backers of the project is a group of Orange County business and professional men who for several years have been interested in forming a limited-membership club in the area.

Three heated pools for year-round swimming, tournament-type tennis courts, putting greens and badminton courts are included among the outdoor recreational facilities to be offered by the club. A special athletic building will be constructed with men's and women's steam baths and massage rooms, complete exercise equipment, handball courts, an indoor golf driving range and locker rooms. Reciprocal privileges for members have been made with the Deauville Beach Club of Santa Monica, where beach, boating and seashore dining facilities will be available, Wagner said. Similar privileges at the Matador Hotel in Palm Springs have also been arranged, he added. Other backers of the project and members of the board include: Drs. John E. Miller, Samuel Gender, George O. Kirkelie Jr. and J. A. Woods, Anaheim California Bank Manager Bernard Jordon, and Janice R. Ayres, all of this city; Attorney Phillip Reilly, Walter Swanberger, Carl Stein, Grant Meeks and Mrs. R. C. Harris, of Santa Ana; and Mrs. Evelyn Hurtt, of Huntington Beach. The OP Things are continuing to look up hereabouts. The nation's economists agree that the business slump will have faded by June—maybe sooner. In California's crystal ball, they say, Orange County looms as the league leader during the "recovery" interim. And that, of course, means with our expanding Anaheim industries calling most of the signals. EXTERIOR VIEW of projected Anaheim town and country club is examined by two of its sponsors, Dr. Samuel Gendel, left, and Loren E. Wagner, Anaheim developer. They are members of board of directors. Only 16 Days Remain In Which to Get Tags February 4 is only 16 days away, with four Saturdays and Sundays in between, so if you haven't gotten your car relicensed yet... There's a handy place right downtown in Anaheim. If you've received your punched-card notice from the Department of Motor Vehicles the Bank of America's branch at 151 E. Center St. will effect your renewal for you. A DMV registrant is stationed at a bank window especially for this purpose, Richard W. Gay, vice president and general manager of the bank, says. The banks are authorized to issue renewals for autos, trucks and trailers, but not for motorcycles. Persons whose statement cards are marked with red stripes will need to go to regular DMV field offices for service. Transfers or changes of registration classifications also require DMV office service. SPECIAL RATES AT DISNEYLAND Beginning Saturday, Disneyland will place on sale for a period of nine weeks a special season ticket price. VOLUNTEER FIRM CHIEFS FORM A A new Orange County Volunteer Fire Chiefs' Association has been formed, Fire Chief Art Thompson of the Red Hill Volunteer Fire Department announced this week. Memoorship is composed of volunteer fire chiefs and their assistant chiefs, and represent the 21 volunteer fire departments now comprising the Orange County Rural Fire Service. Objectives of the organization are to promote and maintain harmonious association and to assist the State Forest Ranger of Orange County through the exchange of ideas in coordinating procedures on dispatch, communications training, and operations connected with the suppression and prevention of fires, for the betterment and most efficient operation of the Orange County Rural Fire Service. Chief Thompson was elected president of the association and Assistant Chief John Malone of the Olive Volunteer Fire Department was named vice president. The nation's economists agree that the business slump will have faded by June—maybe sooner. In California's crystal ball, they say, Orange County looms as the league leader during the "recovery" interim. And that, of course, means with our expanding Anaheim industries calling most of the signals. Well, 1960 had its "recessions," too. One of note was in the field of diplomatic dignity when Khrushchev pounded the podium to emphasize an odium. Full of the Old Nik, as usual. President Ike fills out P.O. Form 3575 (change of address) tomorrow. After eight years of immunity we wonder how he'll react to the present-day monstrosity of a mail box stuffed with pulp paper marked "Occupant." Anyhow, we bet he'll be glad to turn Castro over to Kennedy. Not to mention that Laosey war out there in Asia. Railroad Official To Address Rotary Anaheim Rotarians will hear a summary of the railroad industry's position in today's competitive transportation picture at their luncheon meeting Monday. The speaker will be H. Brad Atwood, Southern California public relations manager for the Southern Pacific Railroad and its subsidiaries. SPECIAL RATES AT DISNEYLAND Beginning Saturday, Disneyland will place on sale for a period of nine weeks a special season ticket plan for patrons of all ages. Books including general admission and 10 coupons good for any attraction in the park will be offered at $2.25 for children, $2.75 for juniors and $3.75 for adults. Disneyland officials say the maximum value of the children's book is $4.10. $95 Million in State School Aid Bonds Sold A bid of 3.68 percent from a nationwide syndicate headed by the Bank of America and Bankers Trust Company on $95,000,000 worth of State of California school building aid bonds has been accepted by State Treasurer Bert A. Betts, it was announced this week. Betts said he was pleased with the bid, the net interest rate being lower than interest rates on the last large blocks of California bonds, which were sold September 28 1960. At that time $25,000,000 in school bonds were sold for 3.79 per cent and $50,000,000 in Vet-erans Assistance bonds for 3.8 per cent. It had been feared that the interest rate on today's issue might have been higher than usual because of the passage last November 8 of the $1,750,000,000 state water bond issue even though those bonds will not be sold until 1963. Proceeds from the sale will be lent to impoverished school districts—those which have bonded themselves within 9 per cent of their capacity—by the State School Allocation Board.

Main Tags VINCENT PRICE Vincent Price, distinguished actor, television personality and art authority, will lecture at Santa Ana College next Tuesday, at 8 p.m. in Phillips Hall, under the SAC Artist-Arama Series. Price is well known to motion picture and stage audiences as an actor who can play both romantic and sinister roles. Twice he appeared on the TV show, "The $64,000 Challenge," and used his lifelong interest in art to tie for the jackpot prize against fellow actor Edward G. Robinson and jockey-art amateur Billy Pearson. He will speak on "The Three Voices of America," referring to art, stage and communications. Price purchased a Rembrandt etching when he was but 12 years old and had an ambition to become a professor of art collector. He majored in art at Yale University, pursued fine arts study at London University, and visited art centers and theaters while in England. On a dare, he auditioned for a stage part in the play "Chicago," got the role as a 22-year-old youth, and made rapid progress in acting. He became a Broadway star after 1935. OCC Basketball Team Recovers "We will be at full strength by Friday," Orange Coast College varsity basketball coach Al Sawyer said today. "Dave Sell will be working out this week and 'Tex' Ritter has recovered from the flu." Sell suffered a broken nose in a backboard struggle against Riverside two weeks ago. He sat out the Citrus game along with Ritter. The Pirates squeaked by with a 60-59 win against the Owls to give them a two-win, one-loss record for the season. "Finals are this week and it makes it rather difficult for the team," Sawyer explained, "the boys naturally put studies Dyke Company Fined $3,000 A fine of $3,000 on six separate counts of contempt has been levied against the Dyke Water Company by the State Public Utilities Commission, it was announced this week.

The report estimates that there will be 36,000 junior college students in the county by 1980. In order to accommodate these students, it estimates that $108 million will have to be spent. Santa Ana College's campus site is the first recommended change. It is suggested that by 1963 the campus will be moved to a site in southeast Santa Ana because of the present campus' cramped quarters.

As a special feature of Chapman's Centennial Year, the student-faculty Artist-Lecture Committee selected the noted Lincoln biographer, poet and novelist to inaugurate their third annual series. The Artist-Lecture Series was started at Chapman three years ago by the student body. Interest and support have steadily increased to the point where season tickets for this year's series have been almost entirely sold out through direct mail contacts with previous ticket purchasers. A very limited number of general admission tickets for the Carl Sandburg appearance is avilable. They must be secured in advance as no tickets will be sold at the door. 5,000 Attend Loan Company Opening Rites More than 5,000 Orange County residents attended recent ceremonies celebrating the opening of the new Fullerton branch headquarters of the Glendale Federal Savings and Loan Association, Gordon A. Klett, manager, announced. In order to accommodate these students, it estimates that $108 million will have to be spent. Santa Ana College's campus site is the first recommended change. It is suggested that by 1963 the campus will be moved to a site in southeast Santa Ana because of the present campus' cramped quarters. The existing Santa Ana facility would then be transformed into a high school. New junior colleges recommended are for the Magnolia-Anaheim area, 1964; Garden Grove-Westminster area, 1967; Buena Park-Centralia area, 1973; and Orange area, 1974. Also recommended for new schools are the areas of Brea Olinda-La Habra, 1977; Huntington Beach, 1978; and the South Coast region, 1979. The full time day enrollment for 1980 at Fullerton is estimated at 4,500; Santa Ana, 4,200; Orange Coast, 4,050; Anaheim-Magnolia, 4,500; and Garden Grove-Westminster, 4,050. The cost of this program would include $5 million for the current Fullerton Junior College, $5 million for Orange Coast, $10.5 million for Santa Ana College, $10.85 million for the new Anaheim school, and $7.5 million for the South Coast facility, the report says.
