SIDELIGHTS No Cornsilk For This Cat By DORIS LEE There is nothing underhanded about Tony. When he decided it was time to try his hand at smoking there was no sneaking around with cigarettes. He went right out "Well, it's okay, isn't it?" he pressed. "Oh, sure, sure," said his father. Linda and I continued to ogle him. "You bought a pipe?" I finally asked. Senior Citizens Torrid Pace For By FRANK EVANS If the city of Anaheim ever decides to build a "Hall of Fame," dedicated to those who bring happiness to others — no doubt the "Senior Citizens Club" would rank high on the list of those honored. And there is a good reason for it. For this group, the majority of whom have raised their own families, and share the distinction of being grandmothers and grandfathers, haven't found time to sit around home and watch the world go by. Instead, this energetic group, 450 in all, have found time not only to socialize but also devote hours and days in helping others. Presently, the women are sewing and making garments for the Albert Sitten Home. They hope to make this Easter a happy one for some of the fortunate youngsters. The "Senior Citizens" started its membership through the cooperation of the Anaheim Park and Recreation Department and the Soroptimist Club of Anaheim three and a half years ago. Mrs. William Snell, of 722 N. East St., was the Soroptimists' chairman. Mrs. Ernest (Chris) Moeller, of 14651 State St., who was then one of its first volunteers, is still active in that same capacity with the organization. The club has helped with the Cancer Society, aided in the contribution to the City of Hope, and even added a bit of Christmas cheer when they undertook a six-month project repairing dolls and toys for the Salvation Army organization. For This Cat By DORIS LEE There is nothing underhanded about Tony. When he decided it was time to try his hand at smoking there was no sneaking around with cigarettes. He went right out and bought a pipe. (He's also sophisticated and believes in fitting the smoke to his distinguished appearance.) Linda was the first to discover this. He passed her, pipe in hand, in the hall on the way to his room. She didn't say anything to him (she never does anymore, now that he's bigger than she is), but she reported to us immediately. "Do you know what Tony's done this time?" she asked us, her face a mixture of horror and bewilderment. Oh, I suppose he's gone and got himself another generator to take apart," her father said. "Nothing so innocent," she said. Don't tell me he's hooked into the telephone wires again!" I exclaimed. She shook her head. "He bought a pipe." Charlie and I stared at each other. "He bought a pipe?" he asked. She nodded. "A pipe." "Do you mean a pipe like in plumbing?" I asked. On a Corncob "I mean a pipe like in smoking. You know — a briar, a meerschaim, Or a church warden, as S. J. Perelman calls it." We stared at each other again. "You mean to say he's going to smoke it?" I asked. "Well, he didn't look like he was going to blow bubbles with it," she said. "But that's impossible," said Charlie. "Boys don't start smoking that way. They use cigarettes and they sneak around. You never see them walking boldly through the house with the stuff." Linda shrugged. "Tony's always been a little different." Tony appeared in the doorway. "Hi, I'm going to the school dance tonight. Okny?" We all stared at him. The pipe was nowhere in sight. "Well, it's okay, isn't it?" he pressed. "Oh, sure, sure," said his father. Linda and I continued to ogle him. "You bought a pipe?" I finally asked point-blank. He opened the refrigerator and scanned the inside. "Yeah, Boy, it's a pip too." We all stared at each other again. "A pip of a pipe," Linda murmured. Tony helped himself to an apple and sauntered out. "What's our plan of action?" I asked Charlie. "Let's wait a little. I still can't believe it. He's so above board about it all." Linda Shrugged. "Maybe he is going to blow bubbles after all." Finis The whole thing came to a quick conclusion at 7:30 when Tony came into the kitchen all dressed for the dance with the pipe sticking out of his breast pocket. "I need some matches," he said, opening the cabinet drawer. We all gaped as he put two matchbooks in his pocket and turned to go. "Hold it," his father finally cried. "Now let me get this." Well, sure," he said, looking straight. You're going to start smoking? bewildered. "I thought you knew." "But Tony," I exclaimed. "You are only thirteen!" So what? I'm almost six feet tall and I have a deep bartione voice." "Oh no," said his father. "This will never do. Hand over the pipe and all the fixings." Rais!!" said Tony as he tossed the pipe, tobacco pack and matches on the table and headed for the door. "Have a nice time," I called after him. I turned to Charlie, "Do you think that solved it?" "I don't know," he said. "I have the feeling he's going to sneak around with cigarettes now." Mrs. Ernest (Chris) Moeller, of 14651 State St., who was then one of its first volunteers, is still active in that same capacity with the organization. The club has helped with the Cancer Society, aided in the contribution to the City of Hope, and even added a bit of Christmas cheer when they undertook a six-month project repairing dolls and toys for the Salvation Army organization. As part of the education program, the "Senior Citizens" aided in sending one of three top swimming instructors of the Aquatics Division of the Anaheim Park and Recreation to the National Aquatics School in Northern California last Spring. The woman also did sewing projects for the Juvenile Hall and for the past two summers assisted in the program to help youngsters attend Camp Belloa. And although they have been helping others, the "Senior Citizens" aren't neglecting their social life either. Just the other day, two bus loads of them went to Santa Anita for the races. The group has also made trips to Hawaii, Las Vegas, Death Valley and Caliente. Their day trips have included Farmers Market, St. Sophia Cathedral, Pacific Ocean Park, the Ice Follies, and many other places of interest. But the one trip they're looking forward to comes off this May. For on the morning of May 28, they will journey from Anaheim to Seattle, Washington — site of the World's Fair. Some of the That's Show Biz Vic Harris expects to keep the 'kookie' Cousins for at least another two weeks. The hilarious cutups were a smash their first week at the Harbor Blvd. night- Charlie "Boys don't start smoking that way. They use cigarettes and they sneak around. You never see them walking boldly through the house with the stuff." Linda shrugged. "Tony's always been a little different." Tony appeared in the doorway. "Hi. I'm going to the school dance tonight. Okay?" We all stared at him. The pipe was nowhere in sight. RUGS DIVIDED CLEANED REPAIRED CLEAN CARPET NOW! DURING WINTER FAST DRYING MONTHS WITH CIRCULATING HOURS IN THE HOME.

But owner Dick Stout assures me it has everything the other places have, and then some. He sounded so convincing I am going there this weekend. Dick tells me he doesn't make much money at it. He'd like to, but with a seating capacity of 60, no alcoholic drinks (on which most of the regular night-clubs count for revenue), and the top flight entertainment he books, it's a real job to break even. Specialty of the house is folk-music. That doesn't mean hill-billy music, either. I made that mistake with Dick and he gave me the dirtiest look I've had in a long time. Folk singers are types like The Kingston Trio and Harry Bellefonte . . . course, I knew this, but sometimes I'm just not thinking. Among recent talent, he had Cathy Taylor, pretty 17-year-old Capital recording star, last month. This month the Mon Ami is featuring a real hop pair of pairs . . . Denny Brooks and Vince Monaco (pair one) and The Balladeers, Jan Richards and Sharon Ford. Denny was formerly with the Travellairs and Vince was a member of the Statesmen. They are now combining their talents. Jan, Fullerton, and Sharon, Anaheim, billed as the Balladeers, are a couple of local chicks. Both attend Orange County State College. Fullerton when they aren't strumming the banjo and guitar on weekends. There's a picture of them in another section of the Gazette and if they are anything like that pic, I'm going down to Sam's Hoek Shop in Santa Ana and get me one of them there gee-tars. The Mon Ami, in case you are making plans for tonight, is not open. Not tonight, that is. Hours are from 8 p.m. to past midnight on Friday and Saturday. Although inhabitants are predominantly the younger set, particularly the local colleges and the older high school kids, Dick runs a tight ship. He assures me no rowdiness is tolerated, and when the show is on, you can hear the proverbial pin drop. By the way, if you are a tab-jumper, please go somewhere else. The Mon Ami is (financially) a hobby with Dick. He makes his living as a sound technician; a working jerk like me. The Mon Ami, 235 S.

The purpose of the club is to "bring together interested senior citizens from all walks of life and let them enjoy an active, social life." As one "Senior Citizen" said, "I've met wonderful new friends here. It gives me a nice feeling to meet others of my own age, travel to events and especially exchange — fond memories."
