This is just a rumor but a spokesman for the Pony-Colt organization stated that "at this time we aren't outlawing such a possibility. We would like to see the representative of Anaheim take part in the state and regional play-offs with a possible trip to the World Series." However, we do realize that Night clubs are all well and good," an outdoorsy type said to me the other day, "but a guy can't spend his whole life breathing in cigarette and cigar smoke and bending his elbow until he thinks he's either got arthritis or that the Man Upstairs has somehow cheated him with a crooked elbow. "What everybody needs once in a while is some good wholesome fresh air and wide open spaces where he can feel he's got some room in which to breath and move, even if it is an illusion." And I agree with the fellow. But the Question is: Where? We've got the makings of such an area in the western part of the county, in the Irvine Park and Lake areas, and in the Cleveland National Forest. There are also some along the coast, but what I have seen of the parks there, I would rather stay at home. As I said, we have the makings in the western part of the county, but if it is to be completely satisfactory, it will have to offer more than it does. The Irvine Park and Lake sites make a valiant effort, but they are inadequate even now. What will they be in th efuture? Anyone who has motored out west of Orange on a Saturday or Sunday will find the highways (Chapman St. extension and Santiago Blvd.) glutted with cars, cyclists and horseback riders. And the weather has been pretty miserable so far. When the real warm weather comes, it will be impossible. If crowded roads aren't bad enough, those who make the trip to Cleveland National Forest find a frustrating situation awaiting them on their return. Last Sunday, coming into Orange from Silverado Canyon, I was held up for nearly half an hour, trying to get off Santiago Blvd. onto Chapman St. extension. Chapman is a through highway where it intersects with Santiago and those who return from the Cleveland National Forest, Silverado and Modjeska Canyons, have to take their chances on either getting across Chapman or turning left. And on a weekend, there isn't much of a chance. The praises of Irvine Park were sung to me long before I had any thought of going there. When, finally, I did, I was more (Please Turn to Page Four) This is just a rumor but a spokesman for the Pony-Colt organization stated that "at this time we aren't outlawing such a possibility. We would like to see the representative of Anaheim take part in the state and regional play-offs with a possible trip to the World Series." However, we do realize that the final decision that could put the 'nix' sign on our trip back East would be finances. To house approximately 15 boys, plus a manager and coaches, for a tournament would be quite an understaking. Also there is the pro-ard-con concerning the choice of boys.

Kuchel for his sensible approach to the problems of Communism in the United States, Earl C. Adams, Southern California chairman of the committee to re-elect the Republican senator, announced this week. Hoover commented on a speech made by Senator Kuchel at a dinner honoring him in Beverly Hills last Dec. 5. The F. B. I. director's attention was attracted to the speech when it was reprinted in the Feb. 20 issue of the "Congressional Record." "I thought your remarks were both timely and interesting." Hoover's letter to Kuchel stated. "Certainly at a time such as this we cannot afford the disunity..."

They feel that a few boys’ feelings will be hurt when they are selected on the traveling squad. This could present a problem to the program,” he said. President of the Pony League, Dan Harf said, “No doubt, I would like to see Anaheim be given at least a chance to show themselves against strong opponents. But if circumstances force us out this year — I hope we can outline a definite plan of action for the ‘63 season.” He continued: “The league has jumped to eight teams this in the college auditorium.

But your remarks were very interesting."utter to Kuchel stated.That a time such as not afford the disunityand distrust which follows in the wake of an onslaught of wild accusations made with a lack of substantiating facts and utter disregard for the rights of those attacked." "Thank you for calling attention to the need for a calm and rational approach." Following are excerpts from Senator Kuchel's speech which occasioned Hoover's praise: "There is in this country a handful of people who are Communists. They flaunt our law. Their party is now under Federal indictment, and the law of this land must and will be enforced against its members. The Constitutionality of that law has been upheld. In this connection, I am proud to recall that I voted inthe Senate with a majority to outlaw the Communist Party and to provide criminal penalties for violation. I regret the House of Representatives did not concur. "There are some other —not many —who, through fear or worse, attack our government and its policies for our security.I saw some of them when I was in a Veterans' Day parade in Alameda County. Along the line of march were some people holding up placards proclaiming:'Communism is better than extermination.' Think of it! "They have frightfully soiled their American birthright in demonstrating either their fear and cowardice or their willingness to abandon their country. "I regret to observe that thereare others amongst us who though their patriotism may be unquestioned,their judgment certainly is. Some people have completely abandoned reason in what they say and write.Many honorable men who have devoted long years to the public service have been contemptuously smeared with the false and fantastic charge of being Communists." "Our fellow Americans do not help indeed,they grievously undermine American government when they utter absurd and lurid and unsubstantiated charges against it.To imply,for example,that Secretary of Defense McNamara treasonably complied with 'orders from Moscow' does a truly terrible disservice to our faith in our country." ette 2 Years Entertainment Guide For America's 'HUB OF HAPPINESS' Home City Of DISNEYLAND New Group to Study W. Anaheim Annex Countians Consider Points For Joining City Proper A new group formed to investigate the advisability of annexing to the City of Anaheim has been started in the west side of the city. To be known as the West Anaheim Annexation Committee, it will be headed by George P. Karcher of 10301 Perdido St., Anaheim, and will start immediate action to weigh all sides of the annexation problem. The area directly effected by the investigation will be that bounded on the south by Katella, on the north by Broadway, and on the west and east by Gilbert and Brookhurst respectively. According to Karcher, another main point involved is the determination as to whether or not local businesses is the west side of town will be permitted to grow in an orderly fashion, or whether they will be restricted and held back because of the fact that much of this area started out residential, but now is fast becoming commercial and multi-dwelling in its zoning potential. "We just can't stand still for being held back in our commercial development because we are the victims of the fastest growth pattern in the country. If we all realize this we can all grow together if not at once."
