Senior Senator ... California and Anaheim's senior senator Thomas H. Kuchel announced informally yesterday his intention to seek reelection to the U. S. Senate in November. Lloyd Wright and Ellis Jarvis of Los Angeles have already announced their contention for Kuchel's seat. Kuchel, a native Anaheimer, is the grandson of C. C. Kuchel, one of the original 50 settlers of Anaheim, and the son of famed Orange County and California editor and publisher, Henry Kuchel. Henry Kuchel edited the Gazette, the first newspaper in Orange County, for almost 50 years and was recently honored by state newspaper men as one of the state's all-time newspaper greats. A U. S. Senator for ten years, Kuchel started his political career 25 years ago as a representative to Sacramento. He has been instrumental in the introduction and management of various measures concerning the California water problem, including key work on the multi-billion dollar Feather River Project. A recent list of his major activities and accomplishments in the Senate covered five typewritten pages.

PAGE 6 ORANGE SPOTLIGHT By BOB ABBORENO It seems that nightclub owners can no longer rely on old John Barleycorn alone to help their customers drown their sorrows and worries. They must also provide loud music. One of the most obvious things I have noted on my rounds about the Club is that the most successful musical groups are the ones who can provide loud music in mass quantities. There are, of course, other things that go over, but they are sandwiched in between the booming of bass drums and the blaring of horns and saxaphones. A case in point was Ray Hastings at Harris' Restaurant a week or so ago. Ray is a pretty good comic, but when his time, in one of the performances, stretched to a half hour, the crowd grew noticeably restless. Don Corey, who played a few weeks ago at the Anaheim Bowl, was successful in his comic routine because of his brevity as much as his talent. "—Like he's funny, man, but who wants to listen to him all evening... let's get the music going." And the Wilder Brothers backed him up with some fast paced sounds. The Marksmen, who opened at the Domino Restaurant Tuesday night, are such a group. They can play the music loud while tossing in some good vocals and slapstick comedy.

Kuchel Will Seek States Senate. "For ten years, I have served my fellow Californians in the Senate. It is to the people of my state and nation that I owe my allegiance. A public office, in my view, continues to be a public trust. I am an American Senator. My duty is to my fellow Americans — all of them. My first concern is to our country and its preservation. My politics are Republican. For the last four years, my Republican colleagues have elected me their Assistant Leader in the Senate. In Washington, and in California, I have worked to make my party responsive to the needs of the people. "Americans demand strong, clean, honest government. For a quarter century, as a public servant, I have tried to give that kind of government to them. I try to use my own best judgment in making my decisions on how best to serve them. I use the Republican National Platform as a guide, and I follow the dictates of my conscience. "Our beloved country, indeed, all mankind, are beset today with grave and dangerous problems. There are no easy, glib, one-sentence answers to any of them. Solutions will not be found by dividing our country, through hate, misrepresentation, or fear. We need to stand before the united people, ready indispensable role in evolution of liberty. "We pray for peace tice.

Parks Prepare for Summer 41,000 School Kids Expected to Flock to City Parks Trying to accommodate youngsters from 30 elementary, eight junior high and four high schools could be quite a problem—especially when you have only 19 playgrounds. This is the task facing the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department, but according to Lloyd Trapp, superintendent of Recreation, "We're ready for them." Trapp disclosed that although five months separate the official opening of the summer program, her department is readying the supplies to handle the 41,651 school-going youngsters in the Anaheim areas. "Our recreation supply budget for 1962 is $39,060," said Trapp. "This amount covers everything from baseballs to archery arrows. Baseballs alone will exceed 400, while on the courts we expect to use over 1200 tennis balls." Some of the other sports gear being used this summer includes 650 baseball bats; 900 softballs; 25,000 rounds of. 22 caliber long rifle ammunition; 36 bows and 180 archery arrows. "Our 1961 attendance report showed that 203,820 youngsters took part in our summer sports and recreation program. This period was from June 19 to Aug. 25. Concerning attendance, July was our highest month when we recorded 84,473. "When you figure that from this total, our department supplied not only softballs, basketballs, volleyballs, but also first aid kits and phonographs. Our most expensive item for the summer will be the craft supplies. They will amount to $6,500." Trapp also disclosed that the overall general attendance and participation for the past year in the Anaheim parks and sports programs missed making the 1,000,000 mark. He continued, "We re it's just a matter of time before the 'end of schrings and the youngster's the playgrounds." "In trying to acco them, our budget also supplies for the Children ate, teen programs, league uniforms, swim grams and even the phone." "Trying to organize a that would be welcome age groups is quite a we feel we've covered j everyone's interest." "At least we hope so." ek Reelection need to stand before the world as a united people, ready to play our indispensable role in the preservation of liberty. "We pray for peace with justice. We must maintain a growing military—and nuclear—superiority to deter Communist aggression, or, if necessary, to combat it. We must strengthen our defensive alliances with our free friends all around the globe. "Meanwhile, we strive for honorable and peaceful settlements of international disputes. We continue to search for means to achieve dependable, fool-proof, first-step disarmament agreements. I have had the honor officiially to represent my country in foreign lands, at NATO, in Tokyo, in Africa, in Mexico, and elsewhere. The same hopes and prayers for freedom and for peace live in the hearts of the people of every country with whom I have spoken. And it is to us that they look for leadership in the cause of free men. "In domestic affairs, I have worked diligently to strengthen our system of private, competitive enterprise. Government must supply the American economy with maximum incentives to grow and prosper. Our aim is full employment of all able-bodied Americans. Equal treatment under law. "I am profoundly grateful to the people of California for twice electing me a Senator from my native state. From the beginning of my public service 25 years ago, when my city of Anaheim and its neighbors elected me to the legislature, I have labored successfully to resolve many of our state's problems. I want to continue to do so. Both in Sacramento and in Washington, I have tried to serve the needs of California as well as those of our nation. I believe my record of service is a good record, and on it, I am ready to be judged by my fellow Californians." ette For 92 Years Entertainment Guide For America's 'HUB OF HAPPINESS' Home City Of DISNEYLAND 1962 25¢ Per Month Eight Pages The appearance of Eddy Peabody, the "King of the Banjo," at the Anaheim Bowl's Chariot Room, tomorrow through Mar. 14, along with beautiful January Jones and the Bob Stava Trio, brings up the realization that the banjo is regaining some measure of its former popularity. Of course, Peabody has been a headliner for more than 20 years and still poses audiences with his antics on the stringed instrument. But the banjo, since it was dropped in favor of the guitar, has almost dropped out of sight. Correspondingly Peabody vanished from sight of the civilian public to become a commander in the Navy, where, during the war, he devoted his entire time in uniform to the entertainment and morale of men on shore, on board, on hospital ships and as he expresses it, "nearly every atoll and fox hole in the Pacific area." To get back to the banjo, Art Mooney, the orchestra leader, used a banjo in his record arrangement of "I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover," which had the flavor of the music of the Twenties. It caught on and Mooney used it for other tunes, as did several imitators, with the result that many a banjo was taken out of mothballs. However, after this sudden flurry died down, the fact still remains that the banjo is synonymous with Eddie Peabody, who gets more music and fun out of it than anybody ever did.
