Southern Counties Ga points to gold gas me pervisor William Phi sented to Anniversa Custom Home Built By City Firm Prev Anniversary House, a showcase Balanced Power custom home named in honor of the 50th anniversary of Southern Counties Gas Co., has opened for public inspection in Fullerton, according to J. M. Kennedy, manager of the gas company’s Orange County division. The beautiful new hilltop residence is located at 911 Paloma Drive, just west of Laguna Road, in the Sunny Hills section of Fullerton. When Southern Couties first began distributing gas in 1911, Fullerton was one of the original cities served. The new Balanced Power Home incorporated many innovations in custom home design, Kennedy said. Designed by the firm of Miller and Miller of Fullerton, and built by J. R. Lesperance, Inc., of Anaheim, the home makes extensive use of large windows and sliding glass doors to accent indoor-outdoor living. Three separate garden or patio areas are incorporated with the house. A formal garden entrance leads into the entryway and living room. A backyard patio opens off the living room. A backyard patio opens off the living room, and the pool area is reached through sliding glass doors from family room. A new smoked glass has used throughout the house. This glass eliminates glare, resists heat, making it possible to make maximum use of it to take full advantage of vents from all rooms. The showcase home has conceived with the Bala Power Homes concept, which recognizes the most useful functions of both modern quality built-in range and outdoor electricity.

Councilmen approved the plan after it was grimly pointed out that chances for survival in Anaheim from a nuclear attack are slim. Local residents, alarmed over international tensions and fearful of impending nuclear attack, appeared before councilmen Tuesday night. They demanded to know what, if anything, the city has done to protect residents in case of attack.

The kitchen is equipped with these gas appliances to provide the home-maker with speed, efficiency and economy in cooking, Kennedy pointed out. A central gas air-conditioning system has been installed to provide complete year-round climate comfort throughout the spacious four bedroom home. Another highlight of Anniversary House is the gas-fired built-in barbecue in the patio. In addition to the barbecue, a sink also has been installed in the patio, making outdoor cooking even easier. Local residents, alarmed over international tensions and fearful of impending nuclear attack, appeared before councilmen Tuesday night. They demanded to know what, if anything, the city has done to protect residents in case of attack. Councilmen after learning that the city does not even have a warning system for residents, let alone any available shelters, appointed three residents to lead the civil defense group. Mrs. Gerald G. Klein, 928 Fan St.; Ken Holloway, 1820 E. Sycamore, and Phillip Younes will round up the citizens to serve on the committee. They will submit nominations to the council at next Tuesday's meeting. This group, when appointed, will work with Charles Griffith, Anaheim CD coordinator. Councilmen informed residents there are no funds available for fallout shelters. They did, however, indicate some type of warning system may be worked out. Israel's judges in the Adolph Eichmann case are not expected to render a verdict until sometime in November. But there is probably no better man qualified in Orange County to speculate on the outcome than Sam Hurwitz, Orange attorney. Hurwitz recently returned from a three months trip to Europe and Middle East where he spent one month in Jerusalem courtroom of the Eichmann trial. His opinion on the outcome of the Eichmann case: "Capital punishment." Hurwitz rapidly points out he did not feel that way after viewing the trial for a month. "But after reading day-to-day transcripts of Eichmann's testimony I believed if anything the former Nazi worsened things for himself," the attorney declared. Hurwitz was present for the earlier part of the trial. He did not attend during Eichmann's testimony. As to the type of capital punishment involved if such a decision is reached Hurwitz is (Continued on Page 4-A) CAT SHOW—“Don’t just stand there, enter the Cat Show,” Charley, Jr. seems to be saying to the sleek black cat.

(Ruth S) ANAHEIM GAZETTE Orange County's Oldest Newspaper Established in 1876 Anaheim, California; Thursday, August 17, 1961 TWELVE PAGES ANAHEIM COMMENT GOOD IDEA NIXED It seemed like a good idea, especially when you consider the huge amount of "waste" and cost going into any school construction. The idea—received by Anaheim High School trustees last week—called for construction of underground auditoriums that could double, as fallout shelters in a nuclear attack. The suggestion, of course, received a cool reception. The idea of underground classrooms is not new. And it should be particularly pondered in California with the huge amount of cost that goes into the purchase of school sites. SEE CONGRESSMAN—Mr. and Mrs. John F. McGrew talk with Orange County Congressman James Utt. Anaheim Principal Visits Civil War Area Civil War Battlefields were the destination of Western High Vice Principal John F. McGrew and his family on an extensive summer trip. This year marks the beginning of the Civil War Centennial observation which continues until 1965. While in Washington, D.C., the McGrews visited Orange County Congressman James Utt and attended sessions of The suggestion, of course, received a cool reception. The idea of underground classrooms is not new. And it should be particularly pondered in California with the huge amount of cost that goes into the purchase of school sites. Some of the more progressive architects have shown where twice the amount of classrooms can be put in on a given site with some substantial savings by going underground. It also has been pointed out that if the population boom continues, there will not be enough land left to go around for the new schools needed to take care of the influx. The excuse against underground auditoriums by local officials is the state building code would prevent such construction. What one trustee really meant when he made this observation was: If we don't follow state rules, we don't get state funds.

McGrew and his family on an extensive summer trip. This year marks the beginning of the Civil War Centennial observation which continues until 1965. While in Washington, D.C., the McGrews visited Orange County Congressman James Utt and attended sessions of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Another highlight of the trip was attendance at the re-creation of the First Battle of Bull Run at Manassas Junction, Virginia. Some 2500 Civil War enthusiasts donned the blue and the gray to fight the battle which was the first major engagement of the War Between the States. Battle areas visited included Fort Donelson, Nashville, Chattanooga, Petersburg, Fredericksburg, Bull Run and Gettysburg. McGrew reported that one group of Rebels that took part in the Battle of Bull Run attended Savannah, Georgia, High School. This coming school year McGrew will be assigned to Anaheim's new Savanna High School whose student body have selected the name "Rebels" as their nickname. The Anaheim Symphony Orchestra will play Friday on the "Under the Stars" concert series at Pearson Park Greek Theatre in Anaheim. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. and is arranged and planned by the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department as part of its summer recreation program. The symphony concert will close the regularly scheduled musical series for this year, but a bonus concert is scheduled for August 23 when the United States Women's Air Force Band will take the stage. The band had previously cancelled an appearance in the spring as it was under-staffed due to so many of its members leaving the service. Since early summer, the band has joined forces with the March Air Force Band and has filled out a full group. Gene Ober, who conducted the orchestra at the 1961 Laguna Art Festival, will conduct the Anaheim Symphony Orchestra. The musical series is offered free of charge.
