Colona On Anaheim Anaheim Corr As Jerry Colona sat in the shop of the Charter House yesterday, he wove together tale of future dreams and plea complishments. Twisting a strand of his famous bushy moustache, Colona noted a correlation between future of the entertainment and the future of Orange County. Both, he said, are going through period of "rebirth." Three years ago when he ed Anaheim, there were handful of motels, the Charter House had only the first its hotel open, and entertain in the area was generally poor. Now, Jerry relates, the can be proud of its tourist modations, the local hotels restaurants are featuring name stars and the whole a "jumping". The comic noted that like chim, the complete field of Anaheim God Ownership. “OKAY BEETYLU, I’ll take one of these, one of these, one of these, one of these and TWO of these,” clowns Jerry Colona during his week long stay at the Charter House Hotel. Gladiolas to Generators: New City Councilmen See By FRANK EVANS Gladiolas to Generators: New City Councilmen See City Government Working Newly-elected city councilmen Fred Krein and Jack Dutton are getting a first-hand look at what makes Anaheim tick. A series of city department tours — especially aimed to better acquaint the new councilmen with the various workings of the city — was kicked-off last week. Krein and Dutton, along with fellow councilmen Rex Coons and Chuck Chandler and city manager Keith Murdoch, visited the municipal garage, utilities department, city nursery and a community park. They were guided through the garage, where the city’s 362 pieces of rolling equipment are maintained, by Thornton Piersall, public works director, and Aldy Ingram, garage superintendent. While touring the garage, they watched as city mechanics, welders, painters and “grease monkeys” were in the midst of repairing, servicing, inspecting — and even rebuilding — city vehicles. George Oelkers, utilities director, and Gus Lenain, water superintendent, escorted them through the Utilities Building. The city’s present power and water systems were outlined, along with proposed plans for the future — a future which is expected to include 240,000 population by 1980. Leaving the complex problems of water meters and light bulbs behind them, the councilmen scooted to the city nursery where the problems of water lilies and gladiola bulbs were explained by superintendent Ron Woll. The nurseryis the germinating and growing location for the trees and shrubs that line the parkways and fill the city’s planted traffic islands. More than 700 trees presently are being grown for future use. The councilmen’s 4-hour tour was capped at the Vermont-Plaentia Park, where parks and recreation director William Stronach presented graphic displays focused on present facilities and future needs.

Anaheim-Entertainment Field Correlation Noted by Comic As Jerry Colona sat in the coffee cup of the Charter House Hotel yesterday, he wove together a tale of future dreams and past accomplishments. Twisting a strand of his world mous bushy moustache, Colona added a correlation between the future of the entertainment field and the future of Orange County, with he said, are going through a period of "rebirth." Three years ago when he visited Anaheim, there were only a handful of motels, the Charter use had only the first wing of hotel open, and entertainment area was generally poor. Now, Jerry relates, the area is proud of its tourist accommodations, the local hotels and taurants are featuring top-the stars and the whole area is jumping". The comic noted that like Anaheim, the complete field of entertainment is going through a dramatic change. Smaller groups, lounge shows, etc. are providing a more intimate relation between an entertainer and his audience. Colona, a warm, friendly person, think the change is wonderful. He likes people—all types of people except one. The drunk! The intoxicated person that tries to get into the act, is his one pet peeve. Not that he doesn't like competition — he loves it. But this type of person only lowers the prestige of the lounge, and embarrasses others in the audience. He is quick to quiet down this type of person. One of his favorite sayings is, "I don't know who you are, but I certainly know what you are." This usually does the trick. Jerry Colona has been in show business since he was nine years old. Born in Boston, he frequently stopped off at a music house that his brother managed which featured a Sing-along-with-Mitch type show. Jerry's high, loud voice was immediately picked up by the show's producer, who arranged for young Jerry to sit in the front row of the balcony each day after school (on a box, so he could see over the railing) and sing his little heart out. From this humble beginning, salary 25 cents a week, he has emrged as one of America's most popular entertainment personalities. His big break came in 1938 when he met Bob Hope at a dinner party in Bing Crosby's Del Mar ranch home. Hope needed a character for his new radio show and Colona filled the bill. He mused, Professor Colona was a combination of a Shakespearian Irishman with a Boston dialect — or as Hope so eloquently put it, "a mess". Jerry's lovely wife, Florence, travels with him on his engagements. They spend 40 years in 3 locations: La Tropicana, Tahoe's Harrahs. The weeks a year they rest, use for limited engagement October they traveled to so Jerry could appear in Crosby-Hope movie, "Hong Kong". Their 21-year-old son, Lily graduated from Marquee university and is now appear Hollywood show titled "Mit". Bob, unlike his family, is sticking to straight acting and writing. Colona just finished up engagement at Anaheim Club. Tomorrow he opens Tahoe. I hope I'll get back him before another three are up, he says, or I won't even recognize again. Anaheim Youngsters Rate God Over Spaceman Glenn By FRANK EVANS Cathy Marshall, age 4, of 1812 Also collecting votes were John Anaheim Youngsters Rate God Over Spaceman Glenn By FRANK EVANS Whom do you believe is the greatest man who ever lived? This was a question a group of Anaheim children were asked the day as they sat around Lo-Park. And if the consensus of their opinions is any indication of what kids around the country talk about the same question—we shouldn't have to worry much about our teen-agers of borrow. Of the 25 youngsters who might this question out, 17 of answers went for someone whose name is rarely heard or whose picture never seen in the public schools. His name is — God. There are a few of their answers: One said, "The greatest man in world is God, because He imitated the world." Another said, because He made the world and made flowers and food." Other remarked, "Because He helps poor people. And He gives the poor people work." He is our Father. He gives us gifts to eat." Because He gives us food and mother and stores and money. A home and He grows grass us." God is the best and bravest on earth God helps us and love God. He is our friend. Is strong and that is why God the greatest." Little girl said "Jesus is the test because He preached many years. And He loves lit-children." At the most unusual answer he from two girls, ages four five. Cathy Marshall, age 4, of 1812 Sumac Lane said, "God is the greatest man. He loves everyone all over the world. And He lives up there (pointing to the sky) and loves cats, dogs, and even goldfish." When asked, 'How do you know this?' she said, "Well, my gold-fish died and after I put him in the ground, an angel came and took him to heaven." She added "And someday when I go to Heaven, I will see God — and maybe — my goldfish." Meanwhile her playmate, Carolyn George, age 5, of 1813 Sumac Lane said, "God is the kindest man in the world. He is everywhere and He loves the rich and the poor. He is all around us and is even on the sidewalk. And you can walk on Him — and it doesn't even hurt." Also collecting votes were John Glenn, 2; George Washington, 2; Santa Claus, 2; Thomas Jefferson, 1 and 'my Father', one vote. Glenn was regarded as the greatest by one 8-year-old younger who must be reading the newspapers these days. He said, "Because he saved the United States by flying in space." The only vote for 'my Father' was "because he is nice," while Santa Claus' one tally was "because he brings presents to me." Even the Father of our country received recognition. As one said, "George Washington was the greatest man in the world. He was our first President — and a good sargeant."
