Apartment Group Grows John O'Neill, vice president of the income owners of the Orange County Apartment House Association reports that the group now has over 100 members after only six months of existence. O'Neill said the new group has been very instrumental in the defeat of Assembly Bill 801, the controversial bill which was designed to prevent owners of Income property from refusing to rent to undesirable tenants. The association also was largely responsible for the changing of the 55 gallon drum ordinance recently proposed by the Anaheim City Council. Early last month an apartment house committee composed of Ted Hudson, John O'Neill, Rusty Roquet, Frank Wisberg, Joe Delisi met with Thornton Piersall, head of the department of public works, to attempt to improve the trash service to income property owners. A full report on the outcome of this meeting will be made as soon as possible. The Orange County Apartment House Association meets the second Monday of each month at the Disneyland Hotel at 6:30 p.m. All owners and managers of income property are invited to join this organization to improve their industry and create a better operation for the individual operator. This month the speaker will be Bob Dayton, moter and apartment furnishings of Anaheim. The topic is "To Furnish or Not to Furnish." O'Neill invites all to attend the meeting Aug. 14 by phoning KE-5-0123 for reservations or writing the association at 252 N. Lemon St., Anaheim.

The driver's natural reaction to apply the brakes in time of emergency can be a fatal mistake in case of a blowout, Capt. P.E. Winchell, commander of the California Highway Patrol's Anaheim area, said. "Forceful braking can send your car into a dangerous skid, or possibly a rollover, when a tire blows out. The safest procedure is to let the car slow down before you brake." If a tire blows, grip the wheel firmly, holding a straight, even course until the vehicle slows to the point where you have absolute control. Then apply the brakes smoothly with moderate pressure."
