BY BOB ABBORENO By economic and editorial necessity, I have been responsible for perpetrating a serious but unfairly, an all too common crime, each time I have written this column. And I will probably continue to do so in the future. The actual depth and severity of this common crime, however, was not brought full force to me until the past few days. Casually, I mentioned the name: James M. Cain, in the company of several people whom I have always considered to be well-read. I drew only a blank. This got me started. I began picking out people whom I knew to be intelligent and well-informed, and asked similar questions: Who is James Branch Cabal, Robinson Jeffers, Thomas Mann, John Steinbeck, Borden Deal, Ezra Pound, and other such. With the exception of Steinbeck, I drew more blanks. I really became concerned by this time. I started a new series: Virgil, Plato, Aristophanes, Sophocles, Christopher Marlowe, Francis Bacon, Emmanuel Kant, Dante, Goethe, Anatole France, etc. At this point, I was near panic; because if I drew blanks before now I was suspected of talking gibberish.

Orange County 4-H Fair Will Open This Weekend You don't have to go to Seattle to see a fair. The 4-H Clubs of Orange County are putting one on in Costa Mesa this weekend April 28, 29. Neither do you have to worry about tickets (it's all free) or reservations (it's within com-muting distance) and there's plenty of parking. This annual Fair gives 4-H boys and girls their first chance to show off their projects. A 4-H project might be anything from livestock or woodworking to clothing or foods — it's all part of this educational program, sponsored by the University of California Agricultural Extension Service. The Fair is also a time to learn and improve before the County Fair comes along. A lot of things will be happening at the Orange County Fair-grounds this weekend.

The report staff consultant Boschke warns: "... every worried about future slums one does a thing to understand halt their creation. We understand a disease, we eliminate its pain and eventually will find a cure. But when it comes to housing, all we ever talk about is urban renewal, bulldozers and federal funds." The report notes that for every three new dwellings in the nation, another two dwellings become unsafe, health hazardous and slum-infested. "Right here in California," Boschke declared, "30 per cent of our dwellings already are substandard. "A bulldozer and federal funds certainly do not constitute an answer. We must protect these dwellings from deteriorating — and it can be done by that property owner, private enterprise and pure plain pride. "We must look to our older dwellings as an opportunity for continued livability and beauty — not as community eyesores and depreciative values," the report said. In the national average of city budgets," Boschke noted, "46 cents of every tax dollar is spent because of crime, juvenile delinquency, disease, blight and sociological conditions arising from slums. And yet these same slums contribute only 6 cents of every tax dollar — and those statistics, in one way or another, affects every single property owner in the nation." Boschke declared.

(Bob) Abboreno Gazette News Editor Anaheim and Southern California are entering a new phase in building zoning and development. Vice-Mayor Odra L. (Chuck) Chandler told members of the City Council Tuesday evening, and alerted them to be expecting it. Chandler's observation and concern springboarded from the approval of one planned unit development and the postponement, until next Tuesday, of another. "We had better orient ourselves to a new concept in building in the city," he commented, following approval of a conditional use permit to Silas Lehmer to construct a one-family planned residential development, located on the north side of Katella, between Nutwood and Brookhurst, and backed by the Southern Pacific Railway tracks. Chandler elaborated on his comment to a Gazette reporter following the council meeting. "In the past," Chandler observed, "land in Southern California has been cheap enough that we could build the rambling single-story-type houses. But now, land prices are increasing so that we are gradually finding ourselves in the same position the East has been in for many years — that it is cheaper to build a multi-story dwelling on a piece of land than to buy several pieces of land to accommodate the several dwellings units separately." Coming Trend Chandler feels this is a coming trend in the area, especially in many parts of Anaheim, where the cost of land has risen tremendously in recent years. And Chandler, a lawyer by profession, specializing in real estate, claims cooperative and 'condominium' housing units are to be carefully considered. While there are many advantages to communal-type housing developments, there are also many pitfalls for the unwary. Included among these, he said, (Please turn to page 6) H Fair Weekend El Modeno 4-H Rancherosisting him is Junior Directorissa Bowles, a junior leader inFullerton Feeders, Breeders,Seeders.The public is welcome to stopthe Fairgrounds this comingurday and Sunday to see 4-Haction.

Eggett, 808-C Falcon, Anaheim, Wednesday, filed with the County Clerk a writ of mandamus to direct Orange County Assessor Hugh J. Plumb to open the County's master property record file. Eggett is president of Orange County Property Owner's Association and vice president of Greater Anaheim Citizen's For Good Government. Plumb is up for reelection. The Lin-Brook Hardware and the Lincoln Park Civic Association battle was postponed last week and will reopen again this Tuesday at the City Council meeting. Involved is development of property along Empire St. for parking purposes. Opinion is that Lin-Brook will win with some concessions to the homeowners. Councilman A. J. Schutte will prove to be a staunch opponent of multiple-dweling unit developments in the future. The ex-Mayor feels the city is slipping away from the long established city policy of one dwelling unit per 7,200 sq. ft. Expect to hear much on the preliminary investigations for a new city hall within the next six months. The City Council directed City Manager Keith Murdock, Tuesday, to make the initial investigations and have a report ready for the council within 90 days. Another report is to follow 30 days afterwards. Mayor Rex Coons instigated the report request.
