Caledonia Here Monday Evening Celebrated Scot Dancers, Singers To Perform at Garden Grove School All the excitement and color, the charm and romance of Scotland are blended together in the production of Caledonia. Caledonia includes some of the most celebrated singers and dancers of Scotland. They will appear Monday, Feb. 26, 8:15 p.m., Garden Grove High School Auditorium. Under the direction of founder Andrew MacPherson, the company of outstanding young artists is performing here as part of its second American coast to coast tour. They are sponsored by the Garden Grove Community Concert Association. Caledonia! made its American debut last season and scored an instantaneous hit. Wherever the troupe appeared, from Providence to San Francisco, from Cleveland to Vancouver, it attracted large and enthusiastic audiences and glowing critical reviews. It is "as exciting, as rapid moving, as nicely staged a show as you could hope to see," wrote the San Francisco Chronicle. Critics across the continent echoed this evaluation: "A more exuberant and happy group is seldom seen... truly delightful" (Providence Journal); "A charming bit of Scotland... a fast paced show" (Cleveland Plain) (Please Turn to Page 12) 'LET THE CHIMP BE THE CHUMP' says Gazette columnist Boris Lee in her numerous column SIDELIGHTS, reconstructing the possible thoughts and actions of astronaut Col. John Glenn as he waited to blast off during any one of the many recent false alarms. See Page 2 for SIDELIGHTS. ORANGE SPOTLIGHT By Bob Abboreno Girls are supposedly made of sugar and spice and everything nice. The cynic will blandly tell you that this is another of our adolescent fictions and will openly laugh in your face if you suggest such a thing concerning a show girl. My attitude is one neither of pessimism nor optimism. They are something like politicians: God save us from them and help us without them. As far as show girls are concerned, after 10 years of philandering I have come to this conclusion: Show girls are girls, with the same sweetness, loyalties, stabilities, deceit, confusions and treacheries. But seriously, during the past few weeks I have met some interesting and wonderful girls and many of them have simply been the girls whom the casual nitilifiers see only as a black tight-swathed bundle of female pulchritude and little else — the girl in the chorus who kicks her legs in the automatic steps of a synchronized dance and perhaps sings a solo song or two. New Hours Named At Colony House The new visiting hours at the Mother-Colony House, 414 North West St., are from 3 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays; it has been announced by Lloyd Trapp, Recreation superintendent. The visiting period has been changed to allow more time for school children to view the historical old buildings. My attitude is one neither of pessimism nor optimism.

Karen Springer is one of these; not that Karen will always remain in the chorus or supporting line, or that she is typical of such unsung stars. Karen, in fact, is a beginner in the night club circuit. The part she had in the Hollywood Twister line last week at Harris' Restaurant was her first. It had to be. She turned 21 only a few months ago. Karen does not have what could honestly be called a beautiful face, but most people would readily classify it as interestingly pretentious. She wears a minimum of makeup and this emphasizes her near-perfect teeth and startling white skin. Her large, wide open eyes add a perpetual look of wonder to her over all appearance. And even a medical student would find very little wanting in the symmetrical balance of her anatomy. If she has a failing as far as physical appearance is concerned, it is that she seems reluctant to (Please Turn to Page 12) MORE INSIDE SIDELIGHTS ... PAGE 2 THAT'S SHOW BIZ ...

The visiting period has been changed to allow more time for school children to view the historical old house. The first home built in Anaheim, it was constructed in 1857 by George Hansen, reputed founder of Anaheim. It contains many antiques, scrapbooks and other articles of the past. Madame Helena Modjeska, the Polish singer, and Henryk Sienkiewicz, author of "Quo Vadis," once lived in the old house. Phone Employes Encourage Flag Displays Today An effort to get all Orange County residents to fly a flag on Washington's Birthday today was initiated by the local council of the Telephone Pioneers of America. The organization is composed of telephone employees with 21 or more years of service in the communications business. The Pioneers group sent bulletins to all active and retired telephone people, encouraging them to unfurl the national colors on the Feb. 22 holiday. They also are asking assistance in having their neighbors do the same. There are over 500 members in the Telephone Pioneers Orange County council. They are assured support on this patriotic campaign by some 2,500 Pacific Telephone employees in the county.

The candidates will be nominated by approximately 35 Explorer Posts in the area. Purpose of the Ball will be to raise money to send a delegate or delegates to the Explorer's Conference at the University of Michigan this summer. For the past two years, the Ball has been promoted by adult advisors to the Explorers. This year the Ball and its promotion regularly in recent years. This organization, which is comprised of both professional and non-professional musicians, is sponsored by the Adult Education and Park and Recreation departments of Anaheim and, although not profit-making venture, it is partially subsidized by this program.

The presentation was made at the State Park Commission meeting at Santa Ana. The parks are Doheny Beach State Park at Dana Point, San Clemente Beach State Park, Huntington Beach State Park, and Bolsa Chica Beach State Park. The division's plans for Doheny Beach include acquisitions of two major areas. One is on San Juan Creek where 300 camps are suggested. Included there is a service area, campfire center, and group camp. 275 additional camps are proposed in the Dana Point uplands area, including a group and campfire center. The group camp capacity in each area is additional to the 300 and 275 camps. Opening of these areas will enable greater beach use both by campers and those coming for the day only. The estimated cost for the Dohney project, as included in the park program submitted to governor Brown last year, is $5,500,000. The project at San Clemente includes some 400 more acres to the south of the present park boundary, which generally parallels the elementary school near the park. Opening of the new area will provide additional beach land, considerable parking for day use users, and 550 campsites. It is anticipated that at least 2,000 cars will be able to park and their occupants make use of the new beach facilities. Proposals for the other two areas, Bolsa Chica and Huntington Beach, were not graphically presented at the meeting as development plans are not yet set. However, several proposals are under consideration at Bolsa Chica including a multi-deck garage which would enable use of the long beach to a greater extent than if traffic were permitted to park anywhere along the strand as is done at Huntington Beach.

Fazio will bowl opening night in the 8th Annual World Open Classic at Maxie Kasof’s ‘300’ Bowl in La Habra.

ANAHEIM at a Glance Disneyland's annual fireworks display, from May 1 to Oct. 1, may not be a part of the Magic Kingdom's parade of attractions this year. Atlas Fireworks Company's usually routine request for a permit has been delayed for an informal public hearing set for 3 p.m., Tuesday. The City Council felt that in view of the several complaints received from citizens in the Disneyland area last year, a public hearing would be in order before granting the permit. Disneyland has had the fireworks as a regular feature since 1957. Anaheim's automatic alarm system may be dispensed with. City public works director proposed at Tuesday's council meeting that the old trash cans be replaced with durable plastic containers. Suggestion was that the city buy the containers and add perhaps a 50 cent service fee to the existing charge for garbage collection. The City Council showed its determination to keep Anaheim free of advertising displays and billboards by denying two such requests at Tuesday's meeting. One was for an advertising display on Beach Blvd., and the other for the same on Beach Blvd., near Buena Park. Downtown merchants have reconsidered their request for the removal of parking meters in downtown Anaheim. Tuesday they requested that the City Council institute two hour parking on Center St., between Los Angeles' and Harbor, and one hour in all other areas where parking meters were formerly located. The Council will hear from police and other agencies before deciding. The Anaheim-Placentia battle over the one-mile annexation in the northeast part of the city will enter its second week today. Assistant city attorney Geisler says it will probably run as long as three weeks.
