Just ask John Martinez, 21, of La Habra, held today by Anaheim police on suspicion of attempting to rob the Magic Bottle Store, 326 S. Euclid. Police Tuesday night arrived on the scene to find store owner Don Johnson holding Martinez on the ground with a hammerlock. So battered was the suspect that he required emergency medical treatment. Johnson told police the suspect came into his store with a .22-caliber automatic and demanded money. Johnson gave him the paper money, but in the process tossed several rolls of coins in the man's face. An accomplice of the suspect gunman is reported to have fled when Johnson started overpowering the bandit. Society Talk Early newspapers of Orange County and their influence in developing the area will be discussed for members of the Orange County Historical Society at the Charles W. Bowers Memorial Museum in Santa Ana today at 7:20 p.m. by John (Sky Dunlap, assistant to the president of Santa Ana College and a newspaper historian). Dunlap will display his collection of early county newspapers, dating back to the first publication in what is now Orange County, the Anaheim Gazette, founded in 1870. Also to be exhibited are old newspapers from the museum collection. A highlight of the program will be the career of the late Henry Kuchel, blind editor of the Anaheim Gazette, who was a boy of 11 when the first issue came off the hand press. He learned the printer's trade at the Gazette and later purchased it from his family in 1887 and continued as publisher until his death in 1935.* Convention Hall Survey Wins OK From Councilmen City councilmen have agreed to underwrite major cost of a survey to determine if a convention center is feasible for the city of Anaheim. Councilmen agreed to contribute $10,500 of city money toward an $18,500 survey by the Stanford Research Institute. Under the plan, Chamber of Commerce, through member contributions, will assume $8,000 of the survey. Councilman have voted to put city funds up as soon as the Chamber comes across with $8,000. If the Chamber cannot raise if it becomes a reality, who will actually operate it? The Anaheim Junior Chamber of Commerce has presented plan calling for a non-profit corporation to borrow private capital to build and operate the facility. The project would then amortize in 20 years and revert to the city at that time. The convention hall, currently considered, would house Under the plan, Chamber of Commerce, through member contributions, will assume $8,000 of the survey. Councilman have voted to put city funds up as soon as the Chamber comes across with $8,000. If the Chamber cannot raise funds in 30 days other moves will have to be considered by the city. Councilmen have expressed the feeling the facility would bring many benefits to the city. The questions still unanswered about the project are: How do we pay for it?

The festivities will run from 5 to 10 p.m. Friday and from noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. COMMENT The Gazette's article last week telling of the apparent cut in sex education in the Anaheim High School District has caused some comment. Several parents inquired, requesting that the Gazette publish in full the pamphlet, "Understanding Sex." They expressed some concern this pamphlet is still receiving limited use in the district. Also came the word from Fremont Junior High School officials the pamphlet is not being used as a supplement to the course as was reported. What this all boils down to is some kind of break-down in administration in the district. The people figuring the course-structure in the district report one thing. Then the administrators at the school in question claim the subject is not being taught. This same situation developed 18 months ago when the Ga- (Continued on Page 7.A) THIS WEEK IN ANAHEIM Plans to stage one of the biggest patriotic celebrations in history of Anaheim are now under way. Co-chairmen of the event are Tom Hoag and James H. Townsend. A Huntington Park minister whose daily spiritual programs are heard around the county lost his plea to establish a parish in Anaheim. His defeat came before the Anaheim Planning Commission when the planners killed a request to construct a church on the west side of Dale Ave. between Crescent and Tyler. Educational level of students in the Anaheim Union High School District is up, according to results of this year's Iowa tests of educational development. In a report to the board of trustees Supt. Paul Cool, said ninth graders who took the test this year recorded an average of 95. Last year ninth graders recorded 91 per cent.
