Ruling Moves Orange U of C Step Nearer Another step toward establishment of a University of California campus in the Newport Harbor area was taken this week when Superior Judge Robert Kneeland approved settlement of a "friendly lawsuit" to clear title of a 1,000-acre site deeded to the State for the educational center by the Irvine Company. The action resulted from a suit filed by the university's board of regents to clear the title. Preparation of plans had been held in abeyance pending its outcome. The Orange County university site is planned to accommodate approximately 27,500 students of the county and of the southeast area of Los Angeles County. What Is Scouting?

Knowland Will Address Orange County Educators This Evening Former U.S. Senator William F. Knowland, Oakland newspaper publisher, will address the Orange Coast College faculty and other area educators in the college auditorium this evening. His subject will be "Challenges of the '60s." This is the fifth annual event of its kind scheduled by the OCC faculty, previous lecturers having been Dr. A. O. Beekman, president of Beckman Instruments, Inc.; Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, chancellor of the University of Southern Cali- fornia; Adelle Davis, national health and nutrition lecturer; and Dr. Arthur Bestor, University of Illinois professor of history. Knowland served as a member of the State Assembly and the State Senate and as chairman of the Republican National Committee. With the death of the late Senator Hiram Johnson during World War II he was appointed to the U.S. Senate by former Governor Earl Warren, serving there 12 years as both minority and majority leader. What Is Scouting? Scouting is a boy looking up to a man and wishing in his heart that he could be more like that man—and the man admiring the boy and wishing he were more like him. Scouting is a group of boys sitting around a campfire in silence. No words are spoken, but the group is being welded into a team. Scouting is a group of boys pulling together with a group of men for the common good. It is men doing things with, rather than for boys. Scouting is a mother sewing on merit badges and an entire family proud of each advancement. Scouting is noise and action and food and fun. It is play and release from restraint, yet it is purposeful and resultful. It is a boy setting his own goals and pushing himself toward their accomplishment. It is a man rating high what a boy is reaching for. Scouting is the President of the United States—and the newest eight-year-old Cub Scout. It is the youth of America today in earnest about America’s tomorrow. —Walter MacPeek ANAHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA TWELVE PA Auxiliary Aids Childrens Hospital Fund Drive Boy Scott Western MATCHING FU NEXT IN HOSP Although the Childrens H pital of Orange County is yet "officially over the top, The Gazette somewhat too thusiastically reported, its establishment was described week as "virtually a certain Workers in' the public s scription drive for the mu needed institution, howeve still had $38,000 to go to the campaign's $800,000 g Richard W.

Anaheim, as the core of Orange County's population growth, has reason to be proud of its position in the Boy Scouts of America movement as the organization celebrates its fifty-first anniversary this week. For it is the Northern Orange Council, BSA, of which this city comprises the major area, that leads the western states in growth, toting up nearly 10,000 registered members at the close of 1960. This amazing expansion of interest in Scouting programs speeded up its record-breaking march in 1959, at the end of which the council reported a total of 5,815 boys and 2,336 County's Death Rate Reported Orange County's death rate per 1,000 population decreased from 9.41 in 1951 to 5.81 in 1960, the county health department reports in its vital statistics summary for the year just ended.
