Thomas, Marketing Division Kwikset, and ORANGE SPOTLIGHT BY BOB ABBORENO If you are in the same corner with me, covering your ears and triving to shut out the din of rock and roll and (twist records), you will be interested in a record released this week by a local trio. I don't recall who brought the record to my attention, but after getting a preview listen of the tape, I'm sold on it. The name of the group is the Executives and the record, "Ain't Misbehaving'" on one side, and "Melody of Love" on the other, is a natural for those of you who have not flipped over classical music, jazz, rock and roll, and the contorted jumble of sounds often referred to as twist records. The closest parallel I can draw between the sounds the Executives bring forth and other things being done today is to the casual treatment of Lawrence Welk. As a matter of fact, Ray Mahony, leader of the trio, once played with a big name band in Chicago that was in direct competition with Welk's group while they were still comparatively struggling at the Trianon in Chicago. As I recall, Emile Flindt was considered every bit as good as Welk and I couldn't have cared less, when I was a teenager, whether I went to the Trianon or the Casino Moderne, where Flindt was holding forth. They were that even and alike in their musical interpretations. I won't say, however, that I remember Ray playing with Flindt — in fact, I'm not even sure I remember what Flindt looked like. Reminiscing, Mahony remarked that perhaps if Flindt had had Welk's flair for showmanship, he might have been playing with Flindt's hand on TV instead of being an executive at Hughes, in Fullerton. The trio didn't come by their name, "The Executives", by accident, or by picking it out of a hat. Bob Rockman, drums, Howard Moore, piano, and Mahony, clarinet, are all executives at Hughes.

Park Head Urges Compliance with Park Rules for Summer Sessions With the closing of schools slated only a matter of weeks away sons to the ranges and coursed throughout the City. Park Head Urges Compliance with Park Rules for Summer Sessions With the closing of schools slated only a matter of weeks away, Director of Park and Recreation W. B. Stronach is appealing to the citizens of the City to comply with the ordinance in respect to non-authorized type of activities on the City grounds. This pertains particularly to the golfers who have been using the grounds for practicing their iron shots. It has been reported that there have been a number of complaints of broken windows and near misses on children. "We recognize that golf is an important recreation activity," said Stronach, "but until that time when ground is set aside for putting or practicing the wood and iron shots, we ask, on behalf of safety and common sense, those golfers who have been using the parksite as driving ranges to restrict their golf lesions to the ranges and coursed throughout the City." Stronach said that the Department has received several letters stating that broken windows have occurred because of a slice or hook, and one woman was hit while hanging out clothes. "Our Department would like to see golf, hard ball and archery conducted throughout the City, but, until such time that area is set aside for such an activity, we appeal to those who have been disregarding the City ordinance to cease the activity. The police will enforce this law," said Stronach. Over 40,000 youngsters will be using the parks this summer, and presently we have thousands of Little Leaguers in action. It is for the safety of them and others that we issue this request," stated Stronach. INSTITUTE 5% of Contractors Fail ment of all remodeling contractors fail." The startling statement day by Guy Boschke, at the American Home Institute in Anaheim, on these contractors added, "is because ofance no dishonesty." That in 1959 over 11 years was spent in the remodeling - modernization field. "The market is here", added Boschke, "yet everyday modernizing contractors are going broke. And each time a contractor fails he financially brings unsuspecting homeowners with him." "The American Home Modernizing Institute was established therefore", he continued, "to establish within the home moderniz ing industry standards of performance predicated on moral and ethical responsibilities, administrative integrity and technical competence achieved through a training program of specialized instruction to insure a high level of individual excellence in job performance." Boschke, popular local lecturer concluded, "when we have taught all the remodeling contractors in the County how to do a reliable job at a fair price, we will have fulfilled our basic goal. The results will be twofold: First, it will enable modernizing contractors to make a just profit. And secondly, it will safeguard homeowners against poor construction practices by inexperienced and incompetent firms."

V&C Bureau Views Summer Plans A preview of summer at Disneyland and information on future plans is being set up for restaurant, hotel-motel members of the Anaheim area Visitor and Convention Bureau and their employees. Dick Nuness, director of Park operations outlined the program to the directors of the bureau at their monthly meeting Wednesday evening. Groups of 20 people will be shown the back stage operation of Disneyland, visit new construction projects and hear about future plans for the park. Bureau Director Ed Ettinger, public relations director of Disneyland, explained that this program would add to the city's reputation as good hosts in the area by having owners, managers and employees we had in mind were intended for this purpose. Even though the containers were turned down, the core of what we wanted, we got." Originally, the idea was for the city to purchase plastic trash containers from a local manufacturer, make them available to city residents, and charge a monthly rent. Postponed for several weeks, the move was finally defeated because homeowners in the city objected to the city purchasing the containers from public funds, paying the additional rental fee each month, and finally, that the city would retain ownership of the containers. Whittier and Riverside was appointed a director of the Bureau. Plans for a charter bus service in the area were reviewed and discussed and action on the matter was left up to the executive committee. The Visitor Handling program for this summer was presented. Guests arriving in the area will find signs in strategic locations informing them to call PRospect 2-9090 for room accommodations. This service will be on a 24-hour basis. President Charles A. Pearson conducted the meeting. Directors present were: Joseph Dienstfrey, Edwin D. Ettinger, Frank A. Bila, Robert Petersen, Charles Currier, N. Myhre Harold Smith, John Mitchell, Floyd Johnson, Glenn Smith, Howard Loudén, and Douglas A. Farley Manager.

ANAHEIM at a Glance Lin-Brook Hardware and the Lincoln Park Estates Civic group have finally neared a decision on Lin-Brook's plans to build a parking lot. A switch in property was the key factor. Lin-Brook will begin work on their lot immediately. The City Council is becoming increasingly concerned over the increase in multiple dwelling units in the city. County average is 29%, Anaheim's is in excess of 33%. West Ball Road residents, particularly the chicken farmers, are showing increasing interest in developing their holdings in the area. The city has promised relief for flooded chicken ranches in the West Ball Road area, according to W. D. Pickeral, who charged the city, last week, of failing to provide him and his neighbors with adequate drainage. There were 9,521 multiple dwelling units in Anaheim up to Aug., 1961. Since then, 2,035 have been added. The vacancy factor in Anaheim is reportedly 10%. This is expected to decrease however as autometics and other local manufacturers increase their employes.
