LXXXIX, NO. 48 11 Anaheim High School Dr ANAHEIM COMMENT It's always the details of living which seem to give us the most bother. Take for example the current controversy in Anaheim on the proposed ban on 55-gallon trash barrels. City council members have voted to consider adoption of an ordinance that would require trash drums to be a maximum of 30 gallons. Councilmen have agreed that City council members have voted to consider adoption of an ordinance that would require trash drums to be a maximum of 30 gallons. Councilmen have agreed that people aren't too happy about the impending new rule. Councilmen have hinted they may hold a public hearing on the matter although this does not appear necessary. Under law residents do have a right to protest the matter before any ordinance is final. There is the time lapse between the first and second reading of any new ordinance. This gives residents an opportunity get in and do their talking to councilmen. Councilmen naturally appear only too eager to listen to the complaints voiced by the trash lifters that the 55-gallon drums get heavy day after day. We have here a note to city councilmen from a "W. S." of Anaheim who for his own reasons wishes to only offer his initials to the public. "Formerly we used cardboard boxes from the market to put our trash in. When we were advised that we couldn't use them we purchased oil drums. Now that you have banned oil drums, would you please advise us, the public, as to what may and what may not be used? If some standard container is adopted I suggest the city get a contract with some firm to PATIENT—Mrs. Carroll Tamplin, 60, missionary, arrives at the emergency heim Memorial Hospital and is carried Ambulance by attendants who met her following a 24-hour plane trip via Airways.

NAHEIM GAZETTE Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1870 Anaheim, California, Thursday, May 4, 1961 TWELVE PAGES School Drops Sex Education But Sex Pamphlet Still Available to Many Students Sex education in the Anaheim High School District has been cut back drastically, it was learned this week by the Gazette. But the controversial pamphlet, "Understanding Sex," is still available to some students. That was the progress report by a high school spokesman. He said at least 15 copies of the pamphlet—cause of the current controversy in the Fullerton High School District—are available to Anaheim students through school counselors. The Gazette had reported 18 months ago that the pamphlet was in use as a supplement to courses conducted in city high schools. Since that time, however, sex education discussion has been Keystone Moves to New Unit Keystone Savings and Loan is hosting open house this week at new quarters, Euclid and Crescent, across from the Broadway Shopping Center. County and city officials were hosted in the new plant earlier this week. Ronald W. Caspers, firm president, said the new location covers 14,000 sq. ft. and was built at a cost of over $500,000. Caspers said growth prompted the firm to move from its 312 W. Center St. location. He pointed out while the company is only three years old, it has assets of $9 million dollars. Besides its modern features, the new location has 52 parking spaces available for customers. Resident Hits New Textbook months ago that the pamphlet was in use as a supplement to courses conducted in city high schools. Since that time, however, sex education discussion has been cut entirely out of the high school district's health course. It is, however, discussed to some extent in girls' physical education classes. The current controversy in another school district forced suspension of a 16-year-old Sunny Hills High School girl. She was suspended from school last week for insubordination. She had figured previously in a classroom controversy when she protested material in a test on sex education in a required health education class. The girl's mother said the pamphlet used in the course, "Understanding Sex," is not fit for use with sophomore students. A Fullerton district spokesman said the pamphlet has not been shown to students at Sunny Hills this semester. "Teachers there have used the material as reference," he said. Anaheim high school officials admitted because of the controversial nature of sex education many teachers, believed giving two weeks instruction on sex education as part of physical education courses, have not been doing so. It was explained, while curriculum advisers had provided for sex education on a limited scale, many teachers have Hospital one night last week after completing a journey from Bolivia, South America, by Pan-American Airways. She was rushed to the hospital by Crane Ambulance. She was accompanied on the trip by her husband. They are both missionaries and have been in South America for more than 30 years working with the native Indians. Mrs. Tamplin has been ill for more than three months and her doctors believe she will recover more quickly if brought to the United States for treatment. The Tamplins have a son who is a missionary in South America and has his own Cesna plane. Their daughter, Mrs. Mervyn A. Kirk, of 2024 W. Flower, Fullerton, was also a missionary in South America for several years. A new textbook placed on public exhibit and approved tentatively by the Anaheim High School Board of Trustees has been blasted as being slanted against Americanism. Andrew Waliga, 854 N. Resh, Anaheim, made the remarks to the board. He was told to put his criticisms in written form and mail it to the district office. Waliga said he picked the book up during the board meeting because of its title and found several passages he didn't agree with. He felt the book, "The New American Speech," belittled the thought of American justice and also talked of overthrowing the government if the reason was good enough. Trustee Royal C. Marten asked Waliga if he had been informed on tape doff concerning the book. "No," replied Waliga. He said he was attracted to the book because of its title. It was explained, while curriculum advisers had provided for sex education on a limited scale, many teachers have avoided the subject or felt they were not qualified on the subject. Spokesmen did say, however, the pamphlet, still in limited use in the district, has drawn some heavy criticism in the past. He said one teacher in a Fremont Junior High School course is still using the pamphlet as a supplement in her girls' P.E. classes. Also counselors in the district, when asked for frank information by high school students on sex, offer the pamphlet as a guide. One spokesman indicated recent criticism of the pamphlet came from a person who apparently is following the recent trend of taking issue with certain school texts. He labeled the individual as probably member of the John Birch Society and indicated this is the line the society has been following of late.
