8—ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA Wednesday, May 16, 1962 SIDELIGHTS Nobody Us Elec I went to the elephant race at Orange County State College and got left with the elephants. I erally. Ten thousand people thronged the campus to view the first-time spectacle and when was over they all thronged on again leaving nobody but the custodian, two police officers, the elephants and me. I have my fuzzy-brained editor to thank for my predicament to thank for my predicament. "No sense in taking two cars be said. 'We'll go in mine.'" "But I have to get home early," I said. "So do I, so do I," he said. He did get home early. Without me. I began having misgivings two minutes after we arrived where he slipped through the crowd ringing the field and left standing on the outskirts. When I finally got through he was already at the reviewing station obtaining publicity releases and sizing up the grounds for camera shots. "All unauthorized persons of the grounds," the loudspeaker cracked at that moment. I pulled out a pencil and a grocery list and began looking authorized. Four baby elephants trudge onto the field and the photographers unto the field and the photographers swarmed toward them. "Hey, wait for me." I said.

WHAT'S DOING Making summer vacation plans? A long distance call is your surest guarantee you'll have just the reservations you want when you arrive at your vacation spot. Along the way, you'll want to call ahead to friends or relatives to let them know you'll be in town. Settling details by long distance is part of the fun of going places. When you get there, a call to the folks back home, to let them know you're "having a wonderful time," is one more way your telephone can help make your vacation a happy one.

I pulled out a pencil and a grocery list and began looking authorize. Four baby elephants trudge onto the field and the photographers swarmed toward them. "Hey, wait for me." I said grabbing his coattail. "If we get separated in this crowd we're sunk." DRAG RACE But after a minute of stumbling around behind him I could see this arrangement wasn't feasible. "Look," I said, "I'll be at the reviewing stand when this is over." He grunted incoherently and ambled away leaving me with the uneasy feeling that I hadn't gotten through to him. The reviewing stand was crowded with the usual officials—judges, timekeeper, announcer and some pretty unauthorized-looking children. "May I sit here?" I asked, indicating a small spot on the edge in front of the trophy table. A student wearing a hostess button sized me up shrewdly. "This spot is reserved for writers," she said. "I'm a writer," I said, waving my grocery list. She nodded suspiciously and I sat down, cracking the back of my head on the edge of the table. "You have to sit hunched over," she said coldly. I hunched over and began scanning the field for the editor. The cameramen outnumbered the elephants ten to one. I spotted him finally, taking on angle shot. I kept my eye on him as he got up off the ground, changed film and headed down the far end of the field. A cheer went up in the crowd. "What happened?" I asked, my eye still on the editor. "What do you mean what happened?" she said. "The elephants just ran, that's what happened. Where were you?" Orange Sp "having a wonderful time." is one more way your telephone can help make your vacation a happy one. Tuesday, June 5th, will be an important day for every citizen interested in good government. I'm sure that means all of us. Because June 5 is the day we select state and congressional office candidates for the general election next fall. While the primaries are next month, many people are starting to bone up on the candidates now, learning about them, their records, and what they stand for. Seems to me that's a mighty good way to help select those best qualified. Safety is always in season at Pacific Telephone. Recent graduates from service representative training in Anaheim: Judy Knight (L) and Mary Ann Bloom point with pride to their safety reminder. Bell Systems safety is backed up with the slogan that reminds everyone, "No job is so important and no service is so urgent that we cannot take time to perform our work safely."

I said. "I have to keep track of my editor so I won't lose him." I said. IN THIN AIR I manged to keep close watch on him through the next event, the obstacle course for the junior varsity elephants. But as it ended a group of cheer leaders passed by me and when my view cleared again he was gone. "Oh, my goodness!" I shrieked, jumping up and cracking my head again. The crowd was breaking up and moving toward the second field for the big race. I ran over, elbowed my way in to the inside edge and searched the field frantically, spotting him finally talking to a pretty girl in blue capris. I glued my eyes on him once more while people jostled me and babies cried in my ear. I knew the elephants were running because at intervals he moved in and snapped a picture. "Here comes the last one," someone said at my elbow. I took a last look at him standing placidly on the field, turned and pushed my way out of the crowd and streaked back to the reviewing stand to be there when he arrived. I never saw him again. The crowd broke up and dispersed. I rushed to the parking lot. The car was gone. One by one the cars all left. Finally, there was no one but three custodians, two police officers. Letters to the Editor Editor Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, Calif. Dear Sir: While I do not live in Anaheim, I do work here am occasionally get a chance to see your publication. As a rule, weekly papers are not very interesting, except to those people that get their names in print. With the exception of your editorial page, your paper isn't very interesting, especially to an outsider I did like your last two editorial pages very much. While I don't know a great deal about politics, the little I do know, puts me in the conservative camp. At least I'll be voting for Shell. Jarvis and Bob Geier. This is not the purpose of my letter however While I do not necessarily find fault with your answers to Mr. Jim Townsend's letter, I am not necessarily in full agreement with Mr. Townsend either. This is not the point of my letter either. The point of my letter is, well, it was the crack that Mr. Townsend made about OLD FAT BOY Khrushchev. The thought of this funny little man being browned up like a marshmellow was more than I could stand. In fact, I cracked up completely. I've always been plenty worried about being fried up black by the Russians. I never occurred to me, that the Russians might be just as afraid of being fried up black by the Americans. I am therefore, of the opinion that Mr. Townsend is 100 per cent correct. I don't think OLD FAT BOY KHRUSHCHEV would start a know that we all are not agreement with him I am tainly a middle of the roader proud of it. I did not like the answer Townsend sent in answer to editorial and that crack holding coats when it came fighting, was as low a slur one can give. In my opinion, one can lower himself to that that are holding the coats all the brains. I know that if got under your skin, Mr. Ec but you did well to hold temper in check. Your readers might be terrested in some of the organizations that Mr. Townsend belongs to. Since his name appears their letter heads, this information is public knowledge. Townsend is State Finance Council of Orange County, an organization that endorses convatives from both parties. Organization has done much confuse the voters in Orange County and has taken most of good field workers from the public Party. Mr. Townsend is Executive Vice President of the Anaheim Republican Association and Vice President of Orange County Republican sembly. I've been told that he longs to several other right groups, but since that year DRAG RACE After a minute of stumbling behind him I could see angement wasn’t feasible. I said, “I’ll be at the gag stand when this is unauthorized persons off grounds.” The loudspeaker began looking authorized, baby elephants trudged the field and the photographers held toward them. Wait, let me look at the image again. The first line: "DRAG RACE" The second line: "After a minute of stumbling behind him I could see angement wasn’t feasible." The third line: "I said, “I’ll be at the gag stand when this is unauthorized persons off grounds.”" The fourth line: "The loudspeaker began looking authorized, baby elephants trudged the field and the photographers held toward them." Shanks Voted United Fund Leader Here The general chairmanship of the 1902-63 Anaheim-Western Communities United Fund Campaign has been shouldered by Robert Shanks superintendent Anaheim City Elementary School District and vice president of the fund organization. Announcement of Shanks appointment was made by B. W. Jordan, chairman, 1902-63 United Fund personnel committee and general chairman of last years’ highly successful United Fund Drive. Jordan commented that Shanks was the first choice selection of the Citizens Advisory Committee by an overwhelming majority. “Bob set the pace for last year’s drive,” Jordan said, “and certainly we can all be grateful that our community will be led in this most vital project by such a capable and inspiring leader who has demonstrated outstanding ability in all lines of civic endeavor.” Range Spotlight... Orange Spotlight ... our community will be led in this most vital project by such a capable and inspiring leader who has demonstrated outstanding ability in all lines of civic endeavor." The side, a fox trot and a waltz, are actually an experiment intended to interest the younger generation in a light, intelligent treatment of some of the more popular tunes. Should the record do well, the present plans are to come out with two more sides, "Stoppin' at the Savoy", and "Bei Mier Bist Du Schon". These two records would be the beginning of a set to be called "Dance Along Series". To clarinet fans, you'll probably recognize almost immediately the similarity between Mahony and the style of Pete Fountain. In any case, picking up one of the records at your favorite record shop or store, should prove to be an investment in musical pleasure. Editor Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California Dear Sir: I take a great deal of exception to the letter that you published by Mr. Jim Townsend of Anaheim. In fact, I have taken exception to all the letters that Mr. Townsend has had published, and since I have been reading his foolish letters for the last 10 years, that comes to a lot of exceptions. Since I don't live in Anaheim, I don't have a chance often to read your fine paper. However my sister does live in Anaheim and she sends me the paper when she thinks its especially interesting. Your editorial "1,2,3,4 Who Are You For?" certainly proved to be interesting. Mr. Townsend has been flooding the other papers in Orange County with his comments, but so far as I know, you are the only one who has had the courage to let him (Vid. Political Ad.)

I did not like the answer Mr. Townsend sent in answer to your moral and that crack about riding coats when it came to riding, was as low a slam as can give. In my opinion, any can lower himself to the animal stage, but I find the guys are holding the coats have the brains. I know that crack under your skin, Mr. Editor, you did well to hold your peril in check.

I've been told that he beats to several other right wing but, since that is hearsey, cause I believe it explains the type of hysteria that is gripping our Nation today. He is one of the men who has a simple solution to every problem, no matter how complex. He is entitled to his views, but we certainly need more leaders that share the middle of the road out-look. Thanks again for sticking up for our side. We've been taking a beating lately and can use some support for a change. While it may be popular to be right wing now, I'm hoping the fad will soon wear off. Sam Barnes 1805 N Flower Santa Ana, Calif. May 12, 1982 Don't lose heart Mr. Barnes. WE may have been taking a beating lately, but it has been my experience here in the country that we are actually in the majority. The only trouble is that most of us have been so complacent we have let the fringe element make a shambles of the political picture. I may sound like a 'nut' myself when I say that it was this same complacency that allowed Adolph Hitler rise to power in Germany, and comrade Lenin in Russia. If we are going to keep extreme rightists and leftists from taking control of the government, we are going to have to be more vocal in our insistence that they behave themselves. After all, this is still a democracy and the rule of the majority and the Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, is still the measure by which we go. Think you for your letter. I notice Mr. Townsend has not honored us by another letter this week. Too bad.
